Bianca Censori knows how to cool off a hot day ... grabbing ice cream with her man Kanye West -- and wearing her skimpiest clothes out.

The two stars were spotted in Mallorca with Bianca's sister, Angelina ... stopping off for a sweet treat in a crowded marketplace -- and Bianca's back in her summer ensembles, leaving nothing to the imagination.

BC wore a mesh top out with no bra underneath -- so, everyone around them got to see everything she's packing up top.

It's possible Chris Brown did not act alone in the alleged 2023 bottle smashing incident at a London nightclub ... 'cause a second man has been charged in connection to the alleged assault.

Rapper HoodyBaby -- real name Omololu Akinlolu -- is charged with grievous bodily harm with intent and is due to appear at Manchester Magistrates’ Court on Saturday, London's Metropolitan Police confirmed in a statement.

As we reported ... CB appeared at the same court Friday after being charged with one count of grievous bodily harm.

A judge ruled Chris would remain in police custody until his next court appearance ... which will be at London's Southwark Crown Court on June 13.

Aubrey O’Day says she will not take the stand in the high-profile Sean "Diddy" Combs trial.

The former Danity Kane singer confirmed her decision on T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach's new podcast about the trial after Us Weekly reported she was subpoenaed to testify and traveled to New York City to do so.

However ... she tells T.J. and Amy that's not the case, and she's in the Big Apple for her own pleasure. She explains ... "I posted on my Instagram that I was here in New York and enjoying myself because I wanted to make it clear to everyone that I am not here testifying."

One of Cassie's bombshells in Diddy's federal trial is her claim he suffered a 2012 drug overdose following a Playboy Mansion bash, and we've got hot shots from the fateful, celeb-packed event.

Cassie told the jury Thursday about the couple's on-and-off use of opiates over the course of their tumultuous years-long relationship, and she specifically referenced a wild night in February 2012.

She said, on that day, the couple had a freak-off, then went to a sex club in San Bernardino -- about 2 hours east of L.A. -- and later, Diddy went to the Playboy Mansion without Cassie.

The ex-wife of Diddy "sex slave" Jonathan Oddi is speaking out, saying her former spouse still fears the disgraced music mogul -- even while he's locked away behind bars.

Oddi’s ex, Tonia Troutwine, tells TMZ … Jonathan is still afraid of Diddy and fears retaliation from the Bad Boy Records CEO, despite sitting in a cell at the Miami-Dade County Jail in Florida.

But get this … Tonia says Oddi does feel somewhat relaxed and protected in jail because he’s far away from Diddy, who is currently on trial in NYC for racketeering, sex trafficking and other federal crimes -- sitting in his own jail cell in Brooklyn.

The first week of testimony in the Diddy trial is in the books ... and Cassie is finally off the stand.

The singer testified Friday for the fourth straight day, starting off with cross-examination from Diddy's defense team ... and lots of texts were read to jurors, including one where Cassie told Diddy she wasn't a "rag doll" after the hotel beating incident.

Cassie also referenced an affair she had with an NFL player and told his defense she didn't hate Diddy and actually had love for their past.

Cassie is off the witness stand after 4 days of testimony and she says it was an extremely challenging week ... but also empowering and healing for her.

The singer's lawyer, Douglas Wigdor, read a statement from Cassie outside the Manhattan courthouse Friday after she walked out of the witness box for the final time in Diddy's federal sex trafficking trial.

In her statement, Cassie says ... "I hope that my testimony has given strength and a voice to other survivors, and can help others who have suffered to speak up and also heal from abuse and fear."

Several cast members from HBO's acclaimed series "The Wire" are admitting they really had to watch their backs when they had to walk through the garden ... those Baltimore rats were the real criminals!!!

On Friday, "The Breakfast Club" celebrated the show's 23rd anniversary with Tray Chaney, who played Poot; Anwan "Big G" Glover, who played Slim Charles; Hassan Johnson, who played Wee-Bey Brice; and J.D. Williams, who played Bodie Broadus.

The crew shared vivid memories of their time on set, including always having to fend off city rodents during scenes.

Cassie just revealed she's expecting to receive a roughly $10 million settlement from the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles ... the same hotel where surveillance cameras captured Diddy beating her in the hallway.

The singer testified about the settlement during questioning from Diddy's defense attorney Anna Estevao in the rap mogul's federal sex trafficking trial in NYC Friday.

Cassie said she was in talks with InterContinental Los Angeles Century City at Beverly Hills Hotel and agreed to the $10 million settlement at some point in the past month.

Babyface Ray has been an integral part of Detroit's hip hop stock rise in the past few years and he isn't being humble about his contributions ... he's carving his own name on the 313 Mt. Rushmore!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Babyface Ray outside LAX this week and he tells us he fits all the criteria to be immortalized in his city -- along with Eminem, Big Sean and the late Blade Icewood for his Mt. Rushmore picks.

And just like Sean, Ray's also delusional hopeful that the Lions and Pistons will win championships next year!!! Gotta root for the home team.

While Babyface did acknowledge Detroit would need a few hundred Mount Rushmores to properly honor its music history, he reveals he's excited to hear from a most valuable transplant ... Pistons star player Cade Cunningham!!!

Ray says he and Cade have a mutual studio engineer and he's been told the stuff in the vault has been fire ... so it's only a matter of time before they cross-over styles.

Cassie Ventura is trying to close some loops on her testimony as she answers questions from prosecutors after being grilled by Diddy's defense attorneys ... and she's now told the jury Diddy threatened to release a sex tape if she didn't participate in a freak-off.

Prosecutors asked Cassie what Diddy did on a flight home from France ... and she testified Diddy played her a video of her having sex with an escort.

The feds asked Cassie what Diddy said he would do ... and she testified he told her he would release the tape.

Cassie and Diddy stayed in touch after they broke up, and while she was dating her now-husband Alex Fine ... and she says she had consensual sex with Diddy after the time he raped her.

More exchanges between Cassie and Diddy were just shown in court Friday while Diddy's defense attorney Anna Estevao was finishing up cross-examining the singer.

Cassie testified the last time she had sex with Diddy was September 27, 2018 -- after Cassie alleges Diddy raped her following a breakup dinner -- and the next day she told him she had a great time with him.

Diddy defense attorney Anna Estevao seems like she's trying to imply that Cassie believed his alleged 2018 rape may have been related to bipolar disorder.

The issue was brought up in court Friday when Estevao was asking Cassie about what she told investigators about Diddy allegedly raping her in 2018 after they had a conversation at dinner about breaking up.

Estevao asked Cassie what she told investigators ... and Cassie said Diddy was acting "nice but strangely" at dinner and "wasn't in his right mind" because when she asked him to stop raping her he did not respond.

If Diddy needs a couple hours to take his mind off his ongoing criminal trial, he will be allowed to watch the Knicks' pivotal playoff game Friday night, TMZ Sports has learned.

A spokesperson for the Federal Bureau of Prisons tells us ... Diddy will have access to a television with basic cable after he heads back to MDC Brooklyn following the conclusion of Friday's court proceedings.

It's, of course, unclear if the 55-year-old will tune in -- he's obviously got a lot bigger things on his mind at the moment -- but he was known to be a Knicks supporter during his time as a free man.

Cassie Ventura says she sought treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder after struggling with her mental health ... getting treatment for traumatic memories.

The singer is being cross-examined in court by Diddy's defense team, and she testified Friday she once spent 45 days at Willow House in Arizona in early 2023 ... explaining therapists there helped her recall memories as part of trauma therapy.

Diddy's defense attorney Anna Estevao said the treatment center works with folks who are experiencing sex compulsion and love addiction ... but Cassie says she was NOT treated for those conditions.

Cassie Ventura says she doesn't have any hate in her heart for Diddy ... and she actually has love for their past.

The singer is being cross-examined in court Friday, and Diddy defense attorney Anna Estevao straight-up asked Cassie if she hated Diddy now.

Cassie testified, "I don't hate him."
