Stunna Girl‘s sharing a harrowing story … saying she took a bullet to the chest recently — and sharing pics of a shocking injury.

The rapper posted several photos and videos to her Instagram showing what she says is the bullet wound … and, if you’ve got a weak stomach, we recommend looking away from this one.

A large gash sits over her left breast — seemingly after it’s already been stitched up … and, she gets right up close to it — giving fans the option to instantly react to the wound with a series of emojis.

Stunna’s posting receipts too … sharing what looks like a prescription for medication to treat a “gunshot wound” — trying to clear up any confusion among her followers.

SG says a bullet hit just above her left breast and exited through her underpit … a clean shot through her.

As for details about what exactly went down … Stunna’s staying mum — telling her followers they shouldn’t make up stories but refusing to say where and how she ended up getting shot.

While Eminem‘s fans are celebrating the release of his 12th album, the family of slain “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins is probably furious over him referencing her death.

The ninth track on “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)” is called “Fuel,” and he closes the song with a verse that name drops Halyna, as well as Alec Baldwin, who is currently on trial for fatally shooting Halyna in 2021 on the set of “Rust.”

Em leads up to the blistering line by bringing up guns — “Clutchin’ the nine millimeter, tuckin’ the heat. Got the toaster like an English muffin. No, I mean, “Toast to” like you drink to somethin’ But it’s in a holster, I proceed to bust it.”

Then he pivots to Hutchins and Baldwin, rapping … “F**k around and get popped like Halyna Hutchins. Like I’m Alec Baldwin, what I mean is buckin’ you down, coup de grâce then. Right between the f**kin’ I shoot ’em all in if you think you’re f–kin’ with me, you’re gonna suffer the f–kin’ repercussions.”

No doubt, it’s a timely reference, as Eminem’s album just happened to drop on day 3 of Baldwin’s trial.

As you know, prosecutors have charged the actor with involuntary manslaughter, and have already secured a conviction against armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed for the same offense. Hannah was sentenced to 18 months in prison.

Meanwhile, Eminem also dissed several other entertainers on his album such as Megan Thee Stallion, Kendrick Lamar, RuPaul and the late Christopher Reeve.

A photo of Karen Read‘s attorney Alan Jackson embracing her tightly from behind is as innocent as her fans believe she is in her murder case … at least according to people in Karen’s inner circle.

The photo, taken outside a Smith & Wollensky restaurant in Boston, has created a big stir around the high-profile case since it was taken on June 27. The jury was in the middle of deliberating … deciding whether Karen had indeed murdered her police officer boyfriend John O’Keefe.

But, a source close to Karen tells TMZ … the image is being taken out of context, as it was actually an innocent moment of celebration — and there was “nothing to this other than goofing around.”

We’re told Alan, Karen and friends — including Alan’s co-counsel David Yannetti — had dined at the restaurant … and they were feeling good about the case, as the jury had been deliberating for 3 days, at that point.

According to the source … 10 minutes before the pic was taken, they were all inside the restaurant and Jackson had come up behind Yannetti and given him a similar hug, but also added a kiss on his cheek.

Oprah Winfrey says she once didn’t go to a star-studded Christmas party because she felt “too fat” to show face.

The media mogul opened up about her health journey on Tuesday’s inaugural episode of the “The Jamie Kern Lima Show” … recalling times she felt held back by public perception of her weight.

Oprah says in 1988, she was invited to Don Johnson‘s Christmas party … a big deal for her at the time, considering he was starring on the hit TV show “Miami Vice.”

O says she gained 10 pounds in a week in 1988 and by December, she was too ashamed to be seen at Hollywood events … like Don’s holiday party.

Chris Brown is bringing a lot to the table when it comes to his manhood — at least that’s what the internet thinks after seeing these clips of him onstage … understandable, TBH.

CB has been on tour of late … and during one of his recent concerts in Toronto, he was suspended in the air while singing — with a harness hooked up around his waist/legs … which pulled on his pants, creating an imprint near his crotch. And yes, everyone noticed.

Take a look … Chris is up there being twirled around, but all anyone was able to focus on from down below was what was going on in his pelvic region — namely, a massive bulge.

In each instance … social media is saying they’re impressed by what they’re seeing here.

Of course, Chris isn’t all that bashful about these sorts of things — in fact, he completely leans into it … just take a look at his butt-grab meet and greets for proof. Dude charges girls $1,000 for him to pose in a handsy way around their ass … and the line’s been long!

Anyway, we’ll see if the bulge footage causes last-minute ticket sales for his Boston show Wednesday. Like the saying goes … there’s no such thing as bad press!!!

Chrisean Rock getting arrested last week has already ended with her getting sentenced — and she’s gonna be doing some jail time … not to mention having to answer to Oklahoma.

According to court records, obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Chrisean was sentenced to 12 months probation and 30 days in jail as a result of the altercation that happened at Tamar Braxton‘s show in November … when she was alleged to have attacked backup dancer James Wright.

As it turns out, there was an open warrant pertaining to that … and now, she’ll be behind bars for a bit — although, she is getting 5 days of credit for time served.

As for the James Wright stuff — TMZ Hip Hip broke the story at the time … Chrisean crashed Tamar and Toni Braxton‘s heavenly prayer circle before allegedly unleashing hell on Wright during her Love and War anniversary tour in November 2023.

Wright also filed a lawsuit that Chrisean blew off. Tamar didn’t let her off the hook, though — taking to social media to put Chrisean on blast … but expressing sympathy for her too.

We just spoke to Blueface’s mom who thought jail wasn’t the best look for Chrisean at the time, considering the new baby now has TWO parents locked away in the slammer right now.

The good news … she doesn’t have too long to go, and she might even be out before Blueface is. But again … it sounds like she’ll be heading to OK after her sentence here is complete — so it remains to be seen if/when she’ll be reunited with her little one.

Chris Brown‘s Tuesday night show in New Jersey experienced some technical difficulties, causing the R&B singer to get stuck while suspended in the air, which triggered him.

CB hit the stage at the Prudential Center in Newark and, while performing “Under The Influence,” he was hanging by suspension wires that seemed to malfunction above a group of oblivious dancers.

Check out the vid … Chris was dangling but still singing, You can tell something’s wrong because he turns to someone offscreen and signals with hand gestures he needs help.

Diddy‘s wallet’s about to take a hit … ’cause his famed Sean John frames are out at a huge eyewear retailer while his legal troubles mount.

America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses has halted sales of Diddy’s company’s frames, TMZ has learned … with a rep for the company confirming the move as well.

Stores received a message Tuesday to remove all Sean Johns from the frame boards and replace them with frames at an appropriate price point from understock. They put a hold on selling the frames and told the stores to wait for further instructions. Unclear what the company plans to do with the merchandise.

While the company wouldn’t reveal the precise reason for the move … it’s clearly tied to the public reaction following the horrific video showing Diddy beating Cassie in a hotel hallway.

Diddy’s apologized … but, lots of stars and normies have trashed him publicly — with many others keeping their distance.

Lawsuits against Diddy keep piling up … another accuser says Diddy raped her multiple times. She’s being repped by the same lawyer as Rodney Jones and Liza Gardner.

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are lookin’ very newlywed … tooling around the Hamptons and flashing their rings in the first shots of them since their reported secret wedding.

The happy couple were out and about Friday doing some shopping … and, just check out the huge grins on their faces — they seem in a rather celebratory mood, we gotta say, while dressed in light, summery clothes.

Millie’s throwing her hands up in the air victoriously while Jake gives a thumbs up to the photogs as they cruise around in a convertible — and yeah, his left hand is a little more weighed down than when we last saw him.

As we told you … The Sun reported they tied the knot in a super hush-hush ceremony last weekend, but they’re also planning a big ceremony sometime later this year.

Jake and Millie first started dating in 2021 before getting engaged last year. Many thought they might’ve gotten married in Vegas earlier this month — but, that turned out to be Jake’s older brother Jesse and his fiancée.

Sam Mouzer‘s getting real about the uniquely terrifying pest control he went through on “Naked and Afraid’ — just in case you’ve ever wondered what it takes to get a tick off your junk!

We spoke with the super unlucky ‘Naked and Afraid’ contestant after getting a sneak peek of this Sunday’s episode where a tick burrowed its way into Mouzer’s manhood, and we had to ask about the procedure for yanking a parasite from such a sensitive spot.

Sam says the medic examined his penis before pulling out a “bladed device” to exterminate the little beast — an image ghastly enough to make anyone with a penis shudder

Of course … Sam took a hot coal to the johnson during one ‘N&A’ competition last year — and, we asked him which hurt more. He’s got an answer, but neither sounds pleasant.

Despite his phallic losing streak, don’t expect Mouzer to resign from ‘Naked and Afraid’ anytime soon — the nude adventurer says he’d go back on the show at the drop of a hat!

The video showing Diddy‘s hotel assault of Cassie isn’t only fueling public outrage — high-ranking NYC politicians want him to suffer one immediate consequence … TMZ has learned.

Leaders in Diddy’s hometown are turning on him, with several NYC council members encouraging Mayor Eric Adams to revoke the Bad Boy Records founder’s symbolic key to the city.

Council Member Sandy Nurse tells TMZ … “Mayor Adams should immediately revoke Diddy’s key to the city. As an abuser, Diddy lost his right to have such an honor and should be held accountable for his actions. Mayor Adams should set the example and take it away.”

Fellow Council Member Justin Brannan already has a replacement in mind … suggesting Nas should get the key — calling the Queens rapper “the GOAT.”

While Mayor Adams presented the key to the city to Diddy just last September, he confirmed over the weekend his office is looking into the process of taking back the honor … expressing support for Cassie in a recent meeting.

Diddy has been under fire ever since the video from 2016 surfaced Friday on CNN — showing him beating on his then-girlfriend in an L.A. hotel hallway. Diddy has since apologized for the video, calling it one of the darkest periods in his life.

The troubling footage comes after federal raids on the mogul’s Los Angeles and Miami homes as part of an investigation into sex trafficking allegations, which he has denied.

There are 40 fewer flamingos in India after a disastrous airstrike — the exotic birds were taken out by an Emirates airliner coming in for a landing in Mumbai, and the carcasses were scattered around the airport.

Flight EK 508, carrying 300 passengers from Dubai, sustained some damage but safely landed moments after colliding with the flock — and images of the aftermath, and subsequent cleanup, are graphic.

Residents from nearby Ghatkopar alerted wildlife groups about the mutilated remains of the birds … which you can see in the video as the Forest Department recovers the carcasses. Officials are reporting broken pieces of wings, claws, and beaks strewn all over the area.

A local wildlife welfare group is sending the remains to a laboratory to conduct necropsies. While the cause of death might seem obvious, one official says they’re investigating because it’s uncommon for so many flamingos to be killed in one shot.

There are a few theories floating around about why this tragedy occurred. Some believe new power lines running through the sanctuary area might’ve disoriented the birds, causing them to fly into passing planes.

Others think disturbances in the nearby wetlands area might have made the flock fly in a different path.

Britney Spears is in increasing danger of hurting herself or others, or even worse … so say numerous people in and around her life, and they are scared for her and believe the only path for long-term survival is another conservatorship.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Britney’s mental health has been in a tailspin since the conservatorship ended. They say she often is not taking the meds that stabilize her, and she is drinking and using various drugs which is especially dangerous, because she has substance abuse problems that sent her to rehab multiple times.

We’re told Britney has radical mood swings and often goes into rages that end in physical violence. There are times we’re told it’s impossible to communicate with her because she can’t engage in rational conversation.

What’s even more problematic … we’re told her current boyfriend, Paul Soliz, a felon, is running her household, and her life. TMZ broke the story, earlier this month Britney and Soliz got into a physical fight after a night of drinking at the Chateau Marmont hotel on the Sunset Strip where she ended up half-naked in the hallway, screaming at people. An ambulance was called after Britney hurt her ankle, and badly. They also got into a fight in a Vegas hotel room that caused so much damage, Britney paid the hotel thousands of dollars for repairs.

The sources with whom we have spoken all say … it was a huge mistake to end the conservatorship, though they add her dad, Jamie Spears, was no longer the right person to run the show, mostly because she came to intensely dislike him.

It should be noted, after more than 2 years of post-conservatorship allegations against Jamie for various alleged financial misdeeds, Britney and her dad settled — Britney did not get a cent from Jamie and ended up paying her lawyer millions in attorney’s fees and she also paid Jamie’s $2 million attorney’s bill. In short, her legal fight was a bust, and people around her fear the legal bills and her wild spending are putting her on a path to going broke.

Our sources believe the point of no return for the conservatorship came when a story was reported that Britney’s bedroom was secretly bugged, which people in the #FreeBritney movement felt was a gross invasion of privacy. After that, the cry to end the conservatorship was like a tidal wave … so much so, the judge who ended it shockingly didn’t even order a medical evaluation.

TMZ now knows what was behind the bedroom surveillance — nothing, because it didn’t happen. Five sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, there was never bedroom surveillance.

These sources tell us … it became apparent Britney was getting drugs from someone, and it was so alarming, people handling the conservatorship went to the judge, who signed an order authorizing the monitoring of Britney’s communication devices to determine who was supplying her drugs. To be clear, the judge believed a drug dealer was fueling Britney’s addiction, and authorized the surveillance.

Our sources have asked us to post this story, because they believe without people understanding the reason for the surveillance, there would be no way a judge would “have the balls” to withstand public pressure to create a new conservatorship.

Every source we’ve spoken with says … if things continue the way they have been going, Britney is in grave danger.

Diddy isn’t hiding from cameras in the wake of the Cassie video – if anything, he’s making a point to be out in public … stepping out into the wild and seemingly telegraphing a few things, if these pics are any indication.

The rap mogul looked unbothered as he smoked a cigar while taking a leisurely stroll through his Miami neighborhood Sunday. Dressed in an all-white outfit and wearing a medallion — which featured a childhood photo of himself and his father — Diddy appeared to be signaling something with his look … although, he stayed mum when he ran into photogs.

Instead, the rapper offered up a one word response, “Love” … which he supported by making the shape of the letter “L” with his hand. Hard to say for sure what he’s trying to communicate – but on its face, he’s showing that he ain’t ducking out of the spotlight … even at this point, with many in the public having turned on him.

Mind you … this is the first time Diddy has been seen in public since the release of the 2016 hotel security footage, which showed Puff beating on his ex – something he addressed this weekend as well in an apology video.

Cassie’s lawyer called BS on Diddy’s mea culpa, slamming the video as self-serving.

Diddy is facing lots of other allegations in several different civil lawsuits … but has vehemently denied those claims and maintained his innocence. His lawyer also blasted the March raids on Diddy’s Miami and Los Angeles as a “witch hunt” … noting the rapper was never detained by authorities.

Roddy Ricch and his ex-girlfriend Alexandra Kiser have reached a custody agreement for their 3-year-old son … finally putting an end to their parental tug-o-war.

“The Box” rapper will have joint legal custody and is getting physical custody of the kid for a couple days each week from Tuesdays to Thursdays.

He also has to pay Alexandra $8K a month in child support … on top of their son’s private school tuition, medical bills, any special-needs therapy, and additional extracurricular activities.

Teyana Taylor stripped down her fashion choices Saturday … and, we mean it quite literally – ’cause the glamorous star left little to the imagination during a sultry cabaret show!

The singer-songwriter pulled out her best moves at “The Dirty Rose” — a show organized by Teyana and famous agency to the stars, WME at the Paradise Club at The Times Square EDITION Hotel.

We gotta say Teyana certainly kicked off her performance with a bang … hopping down on the floor and repeatedly humping the stage in the risqué footage.

Another clip also shows a man who appears to be Leonardo DiCaprio … which videos trickling in on social media seem to back up. He’s got his trademark black hat on while sitting near Teyana and chatting up another woman.

Remember … Leo and Teyana have been spotted getting real close in recent months — leaving barely any room between them in pics taken at the WME pre-Oscars bash.

Sources with direct knowledge told us at the time there’s nothing romantic between Leo and Tey … and, given we see him getting cozy with a different woman during the party, it seems to back up what we’ve been told.

Call Rihanna the queen of speed, at least for this weekend, because she and A$AP Rocky are holding court down in Miami as the city is packed with celebs in town for the F1 Grand Prix.

The celeb couple hosted an event Saturday night for Puma … the athletic gear co. they both rep. The festivities included a stop in a huge arcade, complete with racing simulators and VR goggles … which A$AP slipped on as RiRi watched.

While A$AP rocked a custom Puma helmet during the event, Rihanna was flaunting her new pink hairdo.

A$AP kept the party going late into the night when he hit up E11EVEN Miami for an appearance, sharing the stage with Flavor Flav — but looks like Rihanna decided to call it an early night as she was nowhere to be seen.

Travis Kelce painted Las Vegas red this weekend … hitting up a club in the city hours after attending a charity gala — with Taylor Swift nowhere in sight.

The Chiefs tight end pulled up to Wynn Las Vegas’ XS Nightclub Saturday night according to a TikTok video … where he hyped up the crowd alongside popular DJ, Kygo.

Check out the clip … Travis surprises the whole crowd with his appearance — shrieks and gasps follow the man onstage, and — while he leaves the DJing to the professionals — he certainly gets the crowd up and moving, belting out the tunes too.

Taylor and Travis hit the Mahomes’ 15 and the Mahomies Foundation Golf Classic gala joining Patrick and Brittany for the auction event earlier in the evening.

Apparently, Taylor even donated four tickets too … raising big money according to auctioneer Harry Santa who took a quick pic with Taylor too.

It makes sense Killa Trav and his lady weren’t together at the club … ’cause Travis reportedly showed up pretty close to 3 AM — and, ya gotta imagine Taylor called it a night a little earlier than that.

Aubrey O’Day claims Diddy was trying to buy her and other ex-Bad Boy artists’ silence when he gave back their publishing rights … which she says weren’t worth jack.

We talked to the Danity Kane singer — who was signed to Bad Boy Records in the 2000s — as part of a new TMZ doc that’ll be on Tubi Sunday … ‘The Downfall of Diddy,’ which dissects the fallout after the raids on Diddy’s homes, and the federal investigation that followed.

AOD provided some fascinating insight — including the fact she knew what was up back in September … when Puff gave all his old artists the rights to their music. The seemingly generous move came with lots of strings attached, according to Aubrey.

You’ll recall … Diddy made a big announcement at the time, saying all the old Bad Boy artists were gonna get what was theirs … as it was the right and noble thing to do, etc.

However, behind the scenes … Aubrey claims Diddy wanted the artists to sign NDAs as part of the deal, which would’ve muzzled them from speaking on their experiences at Bad Boy.

Aubrey says she didn’t want to do that … ’cause she sensed she’d be signing away her ability to speak — something she finds incredibly valuable now, especially in light of everything that’s been alleged against Diddy … by Cassie and others, which he’s denied. BTW … Aubrey is the first and only person who publicly sounded the alarm for years.

There’s also this … Aubrey says the dollar amount attached to getting her publishing rights back was incredibly low. Take a listen … it’s astonishing, if true.

The other reason Aubrey turned down Diddy’s offer for the publishing rights … she’s making a boatload of cash on her own, and doesn’t need the pennies. Aubrey has dipped her toe into multiple ventures … including OnlyFans, which has proven to be very lucrative.

Drake‘s making amends with Tupac‘s estate, complying with the cease and desist demands it made after he used an AI Tupac voice on his diss track, “Taylor Made Freestyle.”

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Drake’s team and representatives from Tupac’s estate have had productive talks after the estate sent its C&D letter on Wednesday — and it’s already led to serious progress.

Drake’s taken down the track from his Twitter and Instagram — the only places he posted it — and, his team is trying to get it removed from other sites that redistributed it.

Remember … attorneys for Tupac’s estate sent out the letter blasting Drake for using Pac’s voice in a Kendrick Lamar diss track .. before setting a 24-hour deadline to take the song down and explain what info they fed the AI generator.

That last part is very interesting … as it appears Pac’s camp is taking steps to better understand the whole AI process — perhaps to thwart the inevitable future attempts to mimic his voice.

As for Drake … it seems he’s taking all necessary steps to avoid litigation — and, the process is off to a good start.
