Alan Ruck is weighing in on the results of the 2024 presidential election ... sharing his belief that "misogyny" played a role in Kamala Harris' big loss.

We caught up with the "Succession" star at LAX after the election, and he admitted he was feeling blue after watching the Vice President lose to President-elect Donald Trump at the ballot box.

However, as Alan told us, he isn't dwelling too hard on the disappointing outcome ... expressing a hope to "get through" the next 4 years.

The 2025 Grammy Nominations were announced Friday and as expected, Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" is being considered for some of the biggest honors!!!

Kendrick's monster diss record against Drake raked in 5 nominations ... Song and Record of The Year, Best Rap Song and Performance, and Best Music Video -- the last nom being a double win for K. Dot.

He co-directed the visual with Dave Free!!!

It's no surprise Kendrick is set to headline next year's Super Bowl halftime show ... "Not Like Us" is the No. 1 song on Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart with 21 weeks at the top ... in addition to debuting on top of the Hot 100.

It's wild to think Kendrick could go down in history for calling Drake a pedophile on digital wax -- but, if you remember, we caught up with Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. right after the song took off and he had a hunch Grammy voters would be leaning toward it.

The Grammys go down Sunday, Feb. 2 in L.A. -- a week before Kendrick takes the Super Bowl stage.

Lil Durk was charged with 2 additional felony counts in his murder-for-hire plot on Friday ... the Chicago rap star is being accused of conspiracy and using interstate facilities to assist in the assassination of Quando Rondo's cousin.

Feds outlined the new charges and are essentially treating Durk as the kingpin of the operation in a superseding federal grand jury indictment.

Durk and his 5 co-defendants have yet to enter a plea ... the charges are stemming from the August 2022 shooting outside a Los Angeles gas station close to the Beverly Center shopping mall.

The 2025 Grammy nominations gave props where they're due, but also had some jaw-dropping snubs -- including of Ariana Grande.

The singer's seventh album, "Eternal Sunshine," got the cold shoulder in the Album of the Year category -- a major miss that kinda steals the spotlight from her 3 other noms. But, with all the "Wicked" movie buzz this year, she was probably too busy to go full throttle on promo, so that might’ve played a part.

It wasn’t just Ariana -- Dua Lipa, a Grammy darling since her 2019 Best New Artist win, also didn’t snag a single nomination for her album, "Radical Optimism."

Donald Trump's got a new pack watching his back ... 'cause new video shows robot dogs keeping a close eye on the president-elect.

New video taken at Mar-a-Lago shows the robotic rovers prancing across the lawn ... check it out, they're patrolling outside the club, looking for danger. No need for the dogs to go feral on anyone in this clip -- but, they're ready to sic some bad guys if they try to get at Trump.

Arroyave is also claiming there’s a premarital agreement in place ... which he wants to be enforced when it comes time to divvy up the assets.

Beyoncé's country crossover has really paid off -- she’s finally getting some award season love for "Cowboy Carter" ... 'cause she's infiltrated some major country categories in the 2025 Grammys!

After Queen Bey's massive award season snubs earlier this year, she’s just bagged a whopping 11 Grammy nominations, making her officially the most-nominated artist this year -- and of all time.  Among the big nods -- Best Country Performance for "16 Carriages," Song of the Year for "Texas Hold 'Em," ... and, most impressively, Album of the Year.

Beyoncé's "Tyrant" didn't quite make the cut for Best R&B Song this year, marking her only submission that didn't earn a nomination. But with all her others, it’s safe to say it's a pretty spectacular Grammy season for her -- with all the country love a long time coming.

Taylor Swift has made history with her latest Grammy nomination ... becoming the first female artist to be nominated for Album of the Year 7 times.

The pop star was previously tied with music legend Barbra Streisand for the honor ... as they both previously achieved 6 nominations in the top Grammys category.

However, with the release and critical success of her 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," Swift nudged past Streisand.

Michael Cohen's defending hismelf from haters who say he's gotta leave the country ... telling them he's not going anywhere -- though his message was muddled by a fowl prank.

Here's the deal ... the former lawyer and alleged fixer to President-elect Donald Trump said back in September he'd leave the country if DJT won relection -- joking he was "already working on a foreign passport with a completely different name."

Cohen also says he'd have to leave his wife and kids behind because he doesn't want them moving to the country he plans to flee to. Clearly, he was joking ... but, a few internet trolls didn't forget.

Liam Payne did not commit suicide, according to the prosecutor in charge of the case in Argentina ... a law enforcement source in Buenos Aires tells TMZ.

As we told you Thursday, 3 people have been arrested in the case -- a housekeeper at the hotel, a friend of Liam's, and an alleged drug dealer ... this after multiple raids conducted by local police.

Kodak Black appears to be out the $200K he ponied up after his West Palm Beach charity event was suddenly canceled ... and he suspects it's all due to Donald Trump's election victory.

Here's the deal ... KB over a month ago locked in a deal to host an event at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches to ring in Kodak Black Day, which is Nov. 11. Then, on Wednesday ... law enforcement and event organizers canned it ... claiming no bandwidth to host the event, saying security was a major concern.

Bradford Cohen, Kodak's lawyer, tells TMZ ... he suspects all this is political, since it is well known the rapper is an avid Trump supporter -- and DT just won a historic second WH term.

Dave recounted how the alleged incident happened at the country singer's July concert at Gillette Stadium outside Boston ... and Brianna responded on Thursday's "BFFs" podcast, saying she had no clue it went down, since -- as far as she knew -- Zach was totally fine with him bringing both his dog and hers.

Dave elaborated ... saying at one point he was heading back to the dressing room when he caught sight of Zach with the dog as he was escorting her out.

NFL refs keep getting called out for missing calls during big games, but one company is singlehandedly trying to put an end to the madness -- offering free eye procedures to give them 20/20 vision!!
