Grammy award-nominated singer Klypso hosted our 12:30 PM brunch bus for his birthday weekend, and we caught all the madness as it went down!!

The "Stray Cat" artist serenaded passengers with amazing singing performances as we went to some of the best brunch spots in West Hollywood -- The Henry, where everyone got free mimosas ... Lisa Vanderpump's TomTom, where we took watermelon shots ... and finally, The Butcher, Baker, Cappuccino Maker, where we got free empanadas and hot chocolate!

Even better, Klypso created an epic TMZ moment by dancing on the hood of the bus! He said it was the most amazing way to spend his bday and he wants to host more tours ... he even had a pic of himself on top of the bus on his birthday cake!

A music superstar, an Oscar winner, and a tennis legend take over the Met Gala ... we don't know if there's a punchline yet -- because we'll have to wait and see what happens since Beyoncé, Nicole Kidman and Venus Williams have been named co-chairs of the event!

The three stars have been tapped to work with industry icon Anna Wintour -- who always heads up the annual fashion extravaganza -- on next year's edition of the event ... with Vogue announcing the news via Instagram Wednesday morning.

The gala has a "Costume Art" theme in 2026 ... essentially a celebration of the intersection between human body and art -- so, expect to see stars celebrating their own skin as they march up The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Zoë Kravitz, Sabrina Carpenter, Doja Cat, Lena Dunham, Teyana Taylor and many more stars are also helping out with the event ... either as committee co-chairs or as members of the host committee.

The Arizona man who pled guilty to murdering his 2-year-old daughter while watching porn died from carbon monoxide toxicity -- hours before he was to turn himself in to authorities ahead of his sentencing, TMZ has learned.

The Maricopa County Medical Examiner ruled this week Christopher Scholtes took his own life using the highly poisonous, colorless gas. Last month, TMZ exclusively reported authorities were eyeing carbon monoxide as a possible cause of death and now it's official.

Scholtes made national headlines in July 2024 after he left his baby daughter, Parker, asleep in his car and went into his house in Marana, a suburb of Tucson, to reportedly play video games and watch porn.

Madison Beer says she never had any question about the way she would die ... telling Alex Cooper she used to tell people when she was young that she was sure she'd take her own life.

The singer-songwriter dove into her mental health issues on Cooper's "Call Her Daddy" podcast two years ago ... including touching on her two past suicide attempts -- including the one spurred on by naked photos of her leaking online when she was just a teenager.

Beer's talked about the emotional toll the leak took on her in the past ... but now she says it goes deeper than just feeling horrible about one thing -- because when people asked her how she thought she'd die, she always used to tell them suicide.

Sophie Kinsella -- the powerhouse author behind the hit 'Shopaholic' book series -- has died at 55, three years after being diagnosed with brain cancer.

The British writer’s family broke the heartbreaking news on her IG Wednesday ... saying even though she battled her illness with unbelievable courage, she ultimately passed away peacefully ... spending her final days wrapped in "family and music and warmth and Christmas and joy."

Sophie first shared her cancer diagnosis just last April ... revealing she had glioblastoma -- the most aggressive form of brain cancer -- but told fans she’d undergone a successful surgery and was pushing through radiotherapy and chemo.

The 20-year-old man accused of shooting Jets player Kris Boyd in NYC appeared before a judge on Tuesday ... with prosecutors claiming surveillance footage and cell phone records pin him to the scene of the crime.

Frederick Green was formally read his charges in connection with the Nov. 16 incident -- one count of attempted murder, one count of assault, and two counts of criminal possession of a weapon.

The judge granted prosecutors' request for remand ... meaning he'll remain in custody.

Quentin Tarantino is making plenty of enemies in Hollywood after he randomly bashed some actors on a podcast ... and we can definitely add comedian-actor Zach Woods to the list!

In case you missed it ... QT gave his ruthless opinion recently on some fan-favorite actors, including Paul Dano and Matthew Lillard -- essentially saying they ruin any project in which they're cast.

Fans and fellow actors have been vocal that Tarantino's take is both wrong and just plain mean-spirited ... but Zach kicked it up to a whole other level!

The manhunt for Olympian Ryan Wedding rages on ... and now the FBI has released a new image of the snowboarder-turned-alleged-international-drug trafficker, as the feds desperately search for the man they've compared to Pablo Escobar.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Los Angeles field office dropped the photo on Tuesday night, claiming it shows Wedding in Mexico this summer.

While his look isn't drastically different, Wedding is rockin' different facial hair in the new pic.

Khloé Kardashian’s getting real about faith ... saying she was just reunited with a major keepsake -- after Kim swooped in and bought their late dad’s Bible the second TMZ reported it was hitting the auction block.

The reality star spilled it all on her "Khloé In Wonder Land" podcast Wednesday ... claiming Ellen Pierson married her dad on his deathbed and cleaned house -- so when the Bible popped up at auction, they knew they had to snatch it back.

Turns out it was the Bible Robert once passed to O.J. Simpson back in the day -- and just last month on "The Kardashians," Kim revealed she secretly dropped $80K on it at auction ... all to gift it back to Khloé.

Jason Kelce ripped a page out of his future sister-in-law Taylor Swift's book and got in the studio ... and it was all for the sake of spreading some holiday beer cheer!!

TMZ Sports got an early listen of Garage Beer's special holiday project ... and it's hard to argue that he doesn't have some serious vocal talent. Perhaps a future in voiceover work is on the horizon??

Kelce -- a co-owner of the popular beer brand alongside his brother, Travis -- hopped on the mic to record a holiday story narration for a limited-edition 7-inch vinyl record ... which will be released this coming Friday on the Garage Beer website.

Only 100 copies exist ... so it'll be a rare item for Kelce fans.

Jen Shah may be out of prison ... but she's still under the watchful eye of the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

TMZ can confirm "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" alum left Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas Wednesday morning ... but she is now subject to community confinement overseen by the BOP's Phoenix Residential Reentry Management Office. This means Jen is either in home confinement or a halfway house.

Jen still has 5 years of post-release supervision, with required drug and alcohol testing. She'll participate in an outpatient mental health program, and she must continue to take prescribed medication. And she still owes more than $6.5 million in restitution.

Taylor Swift becomes visibly emotional in her new “The End of an Era” docuseries releasing Friday on Disney+ as she discusses the hard work that went in to pulling the record-breaking tour off.

Donald Trump went on a xenophobic attack against immigrants during a rally packed with his supporters ... singling out people from countries he harshly labels “hellholes” and “s***hole” nations.

The prez took the stage at a casino in Mount Pocono, PA ... which was meant to be laser focused on the economy, but veered into an attack on immigrants from Afghanistan, Haiti and Somalia.

Speaking to his supporters, DT says ... "I've also announced a permanent pause on third-world migration -- including from hellholes like Afghanistan, Haiti, Somalia, and many other countries."

Kim Kardashian is sharing a new glimpse at her snuggle session with Britney Spears and Khloé Kardashian ... plus a hot new bikini snap.

Check out her Thursday night Instagram post -- the new photo shows the "Toxic" hitmaker in a Kardashian sandwich in bed, with Kim and Khloé cozied up to her as they pose for a selfie. Brit looks thrilled with a smile from ear to ear.

We told you about their pajama party last month -- the trio posed for some selfies in their PJs, and the pop star later shared a video of herself planting a smooch on Kim's cheek as Khloé joked they were in a "geriatric bed" that apparently vibrates.

The Royal Caribbean Cruise passenger whose family recently filed a wrongful death lawsuit was served a staggering amount of booze before he was asphyxiated by security guards ... just like George Floyd, the family's lawyer tells TMZ.

Remember, we broke the story ... Michael Virgil's family filed a lawsuit Monday against the cruise line following his death last December after drinking a ton of alcoholic beverages.

Attorney Kevin Haynes now tells TMZ … Virgil was allegedly served a mixture of beer and hard alcohol -- consuming as many as 33 drinks over seven hours before he stumbled away completely wasted to look for his family in their cabin. Even though Virgil had an unlimited drink package, Haynes still says there's gotta be limits!

Before this suave kiddo in his suit n' tie turned into a performin' king, he was just runnin' the concrete jungle, throwin' on his "Piano Man" hat, and then it was off to the races in Hollywood!

He originated the role of George in the Broadway musical "Spring Awakening." No question his breakout role was bustin' his pipes in "Pitch Perfect" alongside Anna Kendrick.
