Beyoncé is putting today's HUGE announcement on ice as the wildfires continue to cut a path of destruction across Los Angeles.

The iconic singer issued a statement on Instagram Monday night, postponing her big reveal to a later date due to the devastation that has claimed the lives of at least 24 Angelenos with dozens still missing and thousands of homes destroyed.

Bey wrote that she's praying for the families who have suffered trauma and loss, hoping they'll be able to heal and rebuild their lives.

The Game is stepping up big time -- pushing forward with his animal rescue mission amid the L.A. wildfires and sharing heartbreaking pics of animals caught in the devastation.

The rapper shared on IG Monday how it’s a miracle some animals survived the fires, especially after seeing the destruction left behind in fire-ravaged areas.

The Game says he teamed up with wildlife rescue nonprofit Cleo’s Critter Care, bringing food and water for the animals, hoping to gain their trust and get them to a shelter where they can hopefully reunite with their owners.

In legal docs obtained by TMZ -- an unnamed woman has come forward and is suing Diddy and two John Does who she claims were with him.

The woman claims in 2000, when she was 16, she ran into Diddy and two men, who apparently worked for him, in an SUV after leaving a babysitting job in Manhattan. She says they offered her a ride home, and after much pressure from Diddy, she eventually agreed.

Jay-Z wants a piece of attorney Tony Buzbee's hide, legally speaking -- he's demanding a court sanction Buzbee for what Jay calls the false rape lawsuit that's damaged his reputation.

According to Jay's new motion, filed by his lawyer Alex Spiro, Buzbee did not conduct even the most rudimentary investigation into the shocking claims made by his "Jane Doe" client in her lawsuit. The woman alleged Jay-Z and Diddy drugged and raped her after the MTV VMA Awards in 2000 when she was 13 years old.

In his filing, Jay also points out Buzbee did not withdraw the lawsuit after an NBC News interview with the accuser aired, and cast doubt on most of the details in her allegations.
