THE WEEKND announced yesterday that he’s finally dropping his new album “Dawn FM” on Friday.  It features guests like TYLER THE CREATOR, LIL WAYNE . . . and JIM CARREY. 

This isn’t a total surprise, considering last August The Weeknd told us about his friendship with Jim over their mutual love of telescopes.  But it’s still a bit odd.

In a preview clip, it sounds like Jim’s acting as kind of a radio DJ, but there’s no word if that’s his only role.

Jim says, “I listened to ‘Dawn FM’ with my good friend Abel [The Weeknd] last night.  It was deep and elegant and it danced me around the room.  I’m thrilled to play a part in his symphony.”

To which The Weeknd responded, “Thank you for being a part of this.  It’s kismet . . . Full circle.”

I can only assume ARIANA GRANDE is now working on getting Jim on her next album.
