Danica confirmed to the crowd she was "winging" her address, noting she wasn't "paid to be here" and that she didn't "need a telephone" to give her speech. That was an apparent dig at rapper Cardi B, who read off her phone after facing teleprompter issues during Harris' rally in Milwaukee Friday.

Selena Gomez came in hot, shutting down body-shamers who had the audacity to troll her look at last week’s "Emilia Pérez" premiere in L.A.

In a now-deleted TikTok post, trolls in the comments claimed Selena was "hiding" her body by posing with her hands across her stomach at the American French Film Festival -- but the actress hit back in the comments, saying it made her "sick" to see people coming for her weight.

Selena set the record straight, explaining her pose was because of a SEBO flare-up in her small intestine -- a bacterial overgrowth condition that causes bloating, pain, and other not-so-glamorous symptoms.

Blue -- the Colts' mascot -- left it all out on the gridiron ... getting around a group of blockers and throwing one of the peewees to the ground.

Cardi B came in hot, defending herself against haters who questioned her using her phone notes for a speech at VP Kamala Harris' rally Friday night.

The rapper didn’t hold back on TikTok, dropping some choice words for her critics as she explained she did put serious effort into her speech, but had to jot it down -- because, well, juggling life as a mom of 3 isn’t exactly light work.
