Ozzy Osbourne's monthly Spotify listeners count has exploded following the singer's death.

On Tuesday, the "Crazy Train" hitmaker boasted just under 12.4 million listeners, and that number has ballooned to more than 14 million.

Same magic for Black Sabbath -- the band Ozzy founded had 19.8 million listeners as the news of his death rocked the world ... and that has risen to 20.9 million.

Rex Heuermann is accused of hunting sex workers in a quiet Long Island beach town ... but could sloppy police work have allowed him to keep killing?

Our deep dive from 2023 is now officially on YouTube ... and it peels back the layers of the investigation, exposing critical mistakes and overlooked clues that may have cost more lives.

From the shocking discovery of multiple victims to the arrest of a seemingly ordinary man, we unpack how the system failed the victims and their families.

It’s a story of secrets, missed red flags, and a trail of tragedy that rocked a community to its core.

Tekashi 6ix9ine changed his OG not-guilty plea to guilty after being busted with drugs back in March -- and will learn his fate in September, come sentencing!!!

On Wednesday, the "Trollz" rapper was in federal court, where he admitted to possessing cocaine and MDMA feds discovered during a raid on his home in Miami back in March ... a complete and total violation of his existing probation terms, stemming from his infamous 2018 Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods trial.

We reported at the time that 6ix9ine was clinging heavily to his innocence, but he struck a deal with prosecutors to have 2 other charges dropped in exchange for owning up to the drugs.

Judge Paul A. Engelmayer oversaw Tekashi's RICO trial and warned him not to attract any more violations before the September sentencing -- or “consequences will be severe” ... which could still be the case, regardless.

Can you guess which Hollywood HOTTIE put her toned bod on full display in this sweaty shot?! Here are a few little nudges to get you started ...

If you're one of her 4 million Instagram followers, you'd know she loves deejaying, modeling bikinis and traveling around the world. She also appeared in a couple of "Ted" episodes.

Nancy Mace suspects way more people are tied to the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking ring than we know about ... and she's calling for a full release of all related documents.

We got the South Carolina congresswoman out on Capitol Hill Wednesday, and she believes there's a cover-up in the case. As she puts it, "How do you have a thousand kids trafficked, only one accomplice in jail?"

Mace points to drivers, pilots -- even people who just opened doors -- as those helping Epstein carry out his crimes ... and says they need to be held accountable.

Mod Sun’s nursing a fresh heartbreak -- he’s split from girlfriend Brittany Wisniewski after just 5 months.

"Love Is Blind" alum Brittany finally set the record straight -- she and Mod called it quits back in April, adding it was the distance that did them in, but since they hung out a few times post-breakup, she kept quiet ... until now.

Brittany told PEOPLE she’s grateful for the time with Mod, but she’s in a new chapter and ready for whatever’s next -- yes, including getting back in the dating game.

Donald Trump would've used his lasso of truth to make Bryan Kohberger spill on the motive for his heinous crimes ... so says the White House Press Secretary.

Karoline Leavitt spoke from the White House Briefing Room Wednesday ... and, she kicked it off by addressing the families of Kohberger's victims -- telling them the administration is so sorry for the grief and pain caused by the murderous Kohberger.

Leavitt then added, "If it were up to the President, he would have forced this monster to publicly explain why he chose to steal these innocent souls."

Judge Judy isn’t holding back on her signature zingers -- she went all in, dropping some serious truth bombs when asked about Stephen Colbert’s late show cancellation.

We ran into the former TV judge in New York Tuesday, and she made it crystal clear -- she thinks Trump has nothing to do with the show’s end next May. Instead, it’s all about the show losing money.

Catch the clip... because JJ drops the truth bomb -- CBS is all about making money, so they’ve gotta do what they’ve gotta do -- or else, they’d be looking at a lawsuit!

Ozzy Osbourne's sudden death sent shockwaves across the rock 'n roll industry, but hip hop legend Trick Daddy is mourning the loss all the same.

Trick Daddy tells TMZ Hip Hop ... "The iconic legend will be truly missed, especially by me -- a young, Black man out of the ghetto of Miami -- by giving the clearance to sample his 'Crazy Train' masterpiece!"

It's true ... Jim Jonsin and Bigg D crunked up Ozzy's 1980 "Crazy Train" in 2004 for Trick, Lil Jon and Twista to create a calamity of a track -- "Let's Go" -- that would go on to become a global stadium and movie, TV and commercial soundtrack for years.

10:33 AM PT -- JetBlue Corporate Communications tells TMZ ... "This behavior is completely unacceptable and will not be tolerated by JetBlue. Immediately upon receiving the report, our crewmembers acted swiftly to engage JetBlue’s security team and law enforcement. We are fully cooperating with the investigation and these customers are no longer welcome to fly JetBlue."

A Connecticut couple has been charged with lewd or lascivious exhibition after they were accused of hanky-panky on a flight from New York to Florida -- and not stopping when they noticed kids watching -- according to police.

Trista Reilly allegedly decided to get dirty on a JetBlue plane early Saturday by allegedly performing oral sex on Christopher Drew Arnold, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.

Specifically, police were informed she made "up-and-down movements with her head while she was face down" in his lap, and also masturbated him.

The 2 minors' appalled mother also claimed in her complaint that Trista "didn't care that the kids were watching her" and continued pleasuring her partner even after she noticed she had an audience.

It's unclear how long the sexual acts lasted, but the mother told police Trista went down on Christopher during takeoff. Which, if true, means the kids had to sit through the rest of the flight after witnessing such an obscene situation.

The couple was arrested by police when they landed at Sarasota Bradenton International Airport around 11:30 in the morning. They were released Monday and must have no contact with the alleged victims and stay out of trouble before their arraignment in August.

French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte have sued Candace Owens over what they call her "invasive, dehumanizing, and deeply unjust" claims that Brigitte is secretly a man who transitioned into a woman.

In the Wednesday filing, the Macrons say the conservative commentator has caused them "substantial" reputational and economic damages due to "outlandish, defamatory, and far-fetched fictions" that Brigitte was born a man and transitioned to become female -- and stole someone's identity.

While the 219-page defamation complaint claims Owens has pushed such lies for a while, it specifically mentions a March 2024 post on X in which she wrote ... "I would stake my entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigitte Macron is in fact a man."

Bryan Kohberger may have gotten A's throughout his academic career, but he's "gonna be getting big D's in prison" ... an insult joke actually spoken in a victim impact statement in court today.

Kaylee Goncalves' mother, Kristi, spoke in the Ada County, Idaho Courthouse Wednesday ... and, she said she's disappointed Kohberger won't face a firing squad for killing four University of Idaho students as they slept in their off-campus house in 2022 -- but, she finds comfort in the knowledge that the men in prison will have their way with him.

She says, "You will finally get what you wanted: physical touch. Just probably not how you were expecting it."

Bryan Kohberger's victims' families have mostly talked about their disgust for his actions and their hope that he suffers in prison ... but one person is forgiving him before he's officially put away for life.

Kim Kernodle spoke at the Ada County Courthouse in Boise, Idaho ... and she said it might not be popular, but she's forgiving Kohberger for murdering her niece Xana and three others at the house near the University of Idaho.

She says she can't hold on to that hate in her heart ... and, to be the best person she can be, she says she needs to forgive and move on.

One of Bryan Kohberger's survivors had a friend read her victim impact statement in an Idaho court Wednesday -- revealing the quadruple murder was so traumatic she had to sleep in her parents' room for a year to feel safe.

Emily Alandt stood at a podium during Kohberger's sentencing hearing and read the statement from her friend Bethany Funke -- who was inside the murder house that fateful night in 2020, but survived along with Dylan Mortensen. As you know, Kohberger butchered to death Ethan Chapin, Xana Kernodle, Madison Mogen and Kaylee Goncalves.

Alandt told a rapt courtroom audience and Kohberger himself that Funke slept in her parents' room for nearly a year with double locks on every door in their home.
