Jason Aldean sent Donald Trump a shout-out this weekend on the heels of the assassination attempt -- paying tribute with a song ... take a guess on which one.

The country singer was performing in Nashville Saturday -- hours after Thomas Matthew Crooks fired upon the ex-Prez -- and he addressed it to the crowd ... saying he was aware of what happened near Pittsburgh, with the audience roaring in response.

Jason didn't say much else afterward other than to note that DT was a friend of his -- and that the next song was dedicated to him ... and yes, he played "Try That in a Small Town."

7:02 PM PT -- Fanmio CEO Solomon Engel is firing back at Diaz ... calling his lawsuit "frivolous" and claiming the fighter has already received a seven-figure check for the event in the process.

"I look forward to resolving this dispute through the appropriate process and am confident that justice will prevail," Engel said in a statement obtained by TMZ Sports.

"Making salacious and defamatory statements to the media in order to harm my family and I has only strengthened my resolve to ensure that the truth will triumph."

Nate Diaz says he was promised $10 million for his fight with Jorge Masvidal ... but he claims he never got 90% of the cash -- and now, he's suing to get money he says he rightly deserves!

The former UFC star's attorney, Jeremiah Reynolds, filed the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Miami on Monday ... less than two weeks after he and Masvidal squared off in a boxing match at the Honda Center in Anaheim.

Diaz claims in the suit, obtained by TMZ Sports, that before he ever stepped in the ring with Game Bred ... he made a deal with promoter Solomon Engel and his company, Fanmio, in which he agreed to take the bout in exchange for a $9 million payday.

Donald Trump dodged another bullet Monday, when a judge dismissed his criminal classified documents case, ruling the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was a violation of the Constitution.

Judge Aileen Cannon determined any special prosecutor must be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. In this case, the Special Council was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland, and that's not kosher under the Constitution.

Biden had tried to avoid making the appointment to avoid the appearance of political retribution, but now it seems that backfired.

Armie Hammer went into detail over sexual misconduct allegations that have now dogged him for years ... telling Bill Maher he was cleared by authorities in 2 countries.

Hammer went on "Club Random" and went into detail how he was under a police microscope for 2 1/2 years, after a woman claimed he sent her graphic and violent texts about cannibalism, rape fantasies and his desire to drink her blood. The texts do not show who initiated the conversations, nor do they include the woman's part of the conversation.

He also tells Bill he went through a thorough psych evaluation and, as he says, passed with flying colors. The psych evaluation was connected with his divorce and custody proceedings.

Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes were hanging out again at the Copa América soccer final -- a year after their second breakup.

The pair were seen sitting side by side and chatting at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens, Florida, for the Argentina vs. Colombia match ... as caught in fan footage shared on X Sunday.

From the pics, there's no hand-holding or OTT flirty vibes ... so it’s tough to tell if Camila and Shawn are hoping for a third time lucky.

Shannen Doherty was all smiles ... having a great time with her friends in her last public photos before she died Saturday.

The actress was pictured with her mom Rosa and good pal Chris Cortazzo outside Kristy's Malibu on June 16 -- almost a month before her death.

As you can see, SD was clearly enjoying great company ... carrying a brown paper bag while Chris had his arm around her shoulders, chatting away.

The start of the Copa América final on Sunday was delayed by over an hour after unruly fans created absolute chaos outside of the event ... and people's behavior didn't get much better once action finally got underway -- as parts of the stadium were left destroyed.

The highly anticipated Argentina vs. Colombia game was slated to kick off at 5 PM PT at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami ... but when supporters from both sides bum-rushed gates in an effort to illegally gain entrance to the contest, officials put a pause on everything.

Check out some images from the outside of the venue ... it was complete mayhem. Fans climbed fences, packed gates, scaled walls -- and even slogged through vents in attempts to get by security to catch the championship game in-person.

Donald Trump is alive today thanks to an immigration chart that was his focus of attention as shots rang out ... so says the 45th President.

Trump made the claim to his former White House physician, Ronny Jackson, during a phone conversation ... hours after 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks shot him in the ear at a Pennsylvania campaign rally Saturday, according to the New York Times.

Jackson, now a Texas congressman, told the NYT Trump believes his life was spared after he turned sideways to refer to immigration statistics from the chart displayed on a screen while onstage in a field in Butler, PA.

Would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks was rejected from a high school rifle club, in part because he was a bad shot.

The 20-year-old, who was taken down by snipers Saturday after wounding former President Trump, killing one person in the crowd and injuring 2 others ... tried to get in the rifle club, according to Frederick Mach, who currently heads the team and spoke with the NY Post.

Another member of the team when Crooks tried out, Jameson Myers, told the Post something was off with him ... something that just didn't sit right. He reportedly had odd interactions with the students and coaches.

Six-time Formula 1 race winner Ralf Schumacher -- younger brother of legendary driver Michael Schumacher -- went public with his relationship with a man on Sunday ... becoming the most notable gay figure in the sport to date.

Schumacher shared the news in an Instagram post ... showing his arm wrapped around his business manager and now-partner, Etienne, as they watched a sunset.

"The most beautiful thing in life is when you have the right partner by your side with whom you can share everything 🙏," Schumacher said in the caption.

50 Cent seems impressed Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt -- something he's personally familiar with ... which he highlighted with a Photoshop job and a song.

The rapper was performing this weekend in Boston -- right on the heels of the assassination attempt -- and he did one of his most famous tracks, 'Many Men,' for the audience ... which featured a custom album cover of his "Get Rich or Die Tryin" project.

Instead of the usual shirtless Fiddy on the front that we've all seen and known -- it was Trump's face that was superimposed over 50's body ... a deliberate move, no doubt.

The Secret Service says it'll be prepared to protect Donald Trump at the Republican National Convention in the wake of the attempted assassination -- even though questions still linger.

Kimberly Cheatle -- the director of the Secret Service -- put out a statement Monday that somewhat addressed all the scrutiny that's been directed at the federal agency after Thomas Matthew Crooks was able to get up onto a roof outside the PA rally and fire off shots at DT.

She says, "The Secret Service is working with all involved Federal, state and local agencies to understand what happened, how it happened, and how we can prevent an incident like this from ever taking place again. We understand the importance of the independent review announced by President Biden yesterday and will participate fully."

Haliey Welch's best known for her helpful mouth and spit tips, but it turns out men are hitting her up for a different part of her body ... namely, the little piggies on her feet.

We got the viral sensation at JFK Airport in New York City and our photog asked her if she'd received a whole bunch of DMs from guys trying to get with her ... and Welch told us they're all looking for one thing.

HW says a quick scroll through her messages reveals one common ask ... "toes, toes, toes."

New video has surfaced showing what many are saying about the attempted Donald Trump assassination … it unfolded in slow motion and in plain view, with a molasses-like response from law enforcement.

This clip -- which is making the rounds on social media -- is absolutely stunning for all the wrong reasons … because it shows the shooter moments before he set up his weapon, took aim and attempted to kill the ex-Prez, and A LOT of people saw it.

Check it out … the cameraman captured the whole scene and you can see 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks apparently trying to lay low after he’d made his way onto the top of a building outside the main grounds of the rally -- but he didn’t do a very good job, because many noticed him and some even verbally tried flagging his location to cops on the ground who were walking around.

There's a presidential conspiracy coming out of the White House ... about the leader of the free world taking extra steps to keep their feces a secret ... and this poop may hold water.

TMZ Studios has a new series, "Strange & Suspicious," now airing on a dozen FOX stations, where we explore strange, unexplained and downright weird stories ... including the possibility foreign adversaries try to dig up dirt on POTUS by digging through his poo.

Think about it ... there's a lot that can be learned from taking a sample of someone's crap ... like finding out if they suffer from cancer.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori are dressed for the hot summer weather ... 'cause she settled on a tiny metallic bikini covering just the bare minimum of her boobs!

The rapper and his wife hit up Bludso's BBQ in Los Angeles Saturday ... and, ya gotta check out the pics 'cause BC's top's putting in some hard work to contain her chest.

Bianca's bikini's really only covering her nipples, quite frankly ... and, her spandex short bottoms ain't hiding much downstairs either.
