Over the weekend, Taylor Swift dropped a new double album, “The Tortured Poet’s Department,” and her Swifties lost their minds. They’ve been examining the lyrics for clues as to who she’s singing about. They’re calling attention to references about two of Taylor’s exes, Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy, as well as her current man, Travis Kelce. And a lot of people are sure that the album also includes a callout to her beef with Kim Kardashian. Dropping a double album in the midst of a massive world tour is definitely a flex. What can we say? God works hard, but Taylor Swift works harder.

Kanye West is making headlines...again. The controversial rapper - who now goes by Ye - allegedly got physical late Tuesday night at the infamous Chateau Marmont in Hollywood. According to police, Ye slugged an unidentified man in the face after he “pushed” and “grabbed” Ye’s wife, Bianca Censori. But a rep for the “Flashing Lights” rapper says it was more than just pushing and grabbing - it was more like full-on physical and sexual assault. This isn’t the first time Ye’s been accused of physical violence, but with those other incidents, he didn’t face any criminal charges. But will he this time?

Movie producer Carol Baum (“Father of the Bride,” "Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) probably wishes she’d just kept her mouth shut. Last week, during a Q&A sesh after a screening of “Dead Ringers” - a movie she produced in the 80s - Baum started ripping into Sydney Sweeney for her performance in the rom-com, “Anyone But You.” She called the “Euphoria” star “not pretty” and pointedly said she “can’t act.” After Carol’s comments were made public, it didn’t take long for Sydney’s supporters to clap back. Looks like in the future, Carol should watch what words her mouth “produces.”

Courtney Love is pulling no punches! In a new interview with the UK’s Evening Standard to promote her BBC series, “Courtney Love’s Women,” the former Hole frontwoman seems to be showing anything but “love” for some of today’s music queens. She’s dragging Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey and Beyoncé - a pretty bold move considering just how devoted their fanbases are. Looks like this is just Courtney being Courtney. But the question is, with all the shade she’s throwing, is she just digging herself a “hole?”

Coachella is off and running. The two-weekend SoCal music festival kicked off this past weekend with headliners Lana Del Rey, Tyler the Creator and Doja Cat. Gwen Stefani also reunited with her band No Doubt - for the first time in almost a decade - and brought out special guest Olivia Rodrigo. And speaking of surprise guests, during her performance, Renée Rapp called Kesha to the stage to sing her banger “TiK ToK.” And while the stars were doing their thing onstage, A-listers in the crowd gave people plenty more to talk about. Tayvis was there in full lovey-dovey mode, and were not the only celebs packing on the PDA. Both Billie Eilish and actor Evan Peters were seen smooching people. So we wonder what weekend #2 has in store for us.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan are headed to court. Even though the “Step Up” stars announced they were divorcing back in 2018, they still haven’t finalized things. And it looks like the hold up has been over money. A lot of it. Jenna says she’s owed a big piece of Channing’s profits from the “Magic Mike” franchise, since it was their marital moolah that helped finance the first flick. But Channing says he’s grown the franchise a ton after they split up. This high profile celebrity divorce trial is on the books for December, and they’ll be calling each other as witnesses. So buckle up, Richies, and get ready for their legal “last dance.”
