Donald Trump is on his way back to the White House ... and the controversy surrounding the death of Peanut the squirrel might have helped ... at least that's what the squirrel's owner thinks.

Mark Longo told TMZ he was humbled and honored that on Monday, Vice President-elect J.D. Vance was at a rally, talking about how "fired up" DT was over the death of Peanut ... which ML is sure helped them at the polls.

Those campaign comments -- as ML sees it -- showed Trump cares about the little guy ... even if that little guy is a medium-sized rodent that took social media by storm with his tricks.

Some liberal women are on a sex strike to punish men over Donald Trump being reelected president ... but it might not work out how they envision -- so says Farrah Abraham.

Here's the skinny ... Dems seemed to think a possible DT defeat would be a referendum on abortion rights. And as that did not happen, some women are calling for a sex strike along the lines of "4B," a trend that began in South Korea in 2018 in the wake of America's #MeToo movement.

Farrah tells TMZ ... she is all for women choosing to be abstinent, and that they should have bodily autonomy -- but a sex strike simply over DT's win is pretty lame.

Kid Rock is super psyched his pal Donald Trump won reelection ... and the rocker celebrated in the most Kid Rock way possible -- but also somewhat shocking.

KR posted a video to his IG ... that featured him as his stage character in a fiery red tracksuit -- donning a MAGA hat and smoking a cigar ... all set to his track, "American Rock 'n Roll."

The video was spliced with random footage of Trump ... which Kid Rock punctuated by picking up a mic -- then dropping it -- just to grab his crotch and flip off the camera.

Taylor Swift had a LOOOOONG dinner Friday night with pal Zoë Kravitz, and at the end of the evening it kinda showed!

TS and Zoe hit up Chez Margaux in NYC's Meatpacking District. The photo agency says they were there for 8 hours ... seems a little overblown, but it was apparently a long night.

On her way out, the superstar seemed a bit unsteady ... after all, how could wine not have been on the menu for a great French meal!?!

Peanut the squirrel might just get justice after all ... as authorities are investigating a raid that resulted in the tragic death of the beloved social media star, TMZ has confirmed.

Mark Longo, Peanut's owner, tells TMZ ... he has been made aware that the Department of Environmental Conservation is conducting an “internal investigation” into why 2 of his pets were seized  -- and later killed -- from his Pine City home.

ML tells us he does not know too much at this point ... but he is expecting to hear more on Saturday about just what the heck is going on.

You'da thunk Bill Maher would have ended his show Friday night with reasons why the Dems lost the election, but he talked about something way more urgent ... we're all going to die because of plastics.

The 'Real Time' host laid it out in stark terms ... the oceans are dying because there really is a floating island of garbage -- actually more than one -- but it has nothing to do with the MSG insult comic.

There's a garbage patch, for example, in the Pacific 3 times the size of France, and a huge portion is made up of plastics. As Bill says, plastics are now in everything ... our soil, our foods, even our Kardashians!

Donald Trump Jr. decided to celebrate his dad's presidential reelection victory with a joke about domestic violence ... and it certainly got a lot of reaction.

Don Jr. on Friday took to IG, where he posted his father's infamous mug shot, along with pics of Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris ... with the text, "Trump arrested for beating two women."

Obviously, it was an off-color joke about DT victories of Hillary and Kamala for the White House ... which Don Jr. captioned, "Another indictment coming soon probably…."

Jennifer Lawrence rocked an elegant look while out Thursday night in La La Land ... and her baby bump was on full display.

JL appeared to be all biz while leaving a restaurant with doggie bag in hand ... while she sported a brown midi dress with a V-neck, a black leather jacket and lack ballet flats -- and of course, her bump was showing, too!

Jennifer's rep confirmed last month the Oscar-winning star was expecting ... this being her second child with husband, Cooke Maroney, who she married in 2019.

Stipe Miocic is returning to the Octagon after almost 4 years away for a fight against the legendary Jon Jones ... in front of a packed crowd at Madison Square Garden that could include President-elect Donald Trump!

With the UFC's heavyweight title on the line ... we asked 42-year-old Miocic whether he'd be down for 45 (& soon-to-be 47) to play Dana White for a night, and wrapping the belt around his waist if he defeat Bones.

"I'm not against it," Stipe responded, saying, "That'd be kinda cool to have a president do it. President-elect."

Well, the election is behind us ... at least for some. And Jason Kelce may have gotten the message, but did his brother? So we gotta ask ...

Zach Bryan's ex Brianna LaPaglia (AKA Brianna Chickenfry) is accusing her former country star beau of emotional abuse ... claiming he even offered her a $12 million NDA after their split.

We broke down the drama on "TMZ Live" ... with Harvey and Courtney theorizing what could've happened for the "Barstool Sports" personality to allegedly be offered this large a sum.

Check out the clip ... our team discussed everything Brianna shared on her "BFFs" podcast, including accusations Zach got jealous after the podcaster showed love to rival country singer, Morgan Wallen.

We doubt a reconciliation is in Briana and Zach's future after all of this!!!

Feast your eyes on this glamorous shot of actress Zoey Deutch! Do you think you've got what it takes to take on the minor switch-ups in the two pics? Put your best foot forward and give it all you got!

Earlier this week in NYC, "The Suite Life on Deck" star took a stroll into the Kelly Clarkson show, and she wasn't messin' around with her fashion game! Sporting some stilettos and a black n' white dress, Zoey showed off her toned stems, but can you find the changes?

Nicole Scherzinger is issuing an apology after facing backlash for praising Russell Brand's religion-inspired MAGA hat ... confessing she didn't mean to take a political stance.

The Pussycat Dolls alum posted to her Instagram Stories as word of her seemingly pro-Donald Trump social media activity went viral ... with the singer apologizing if anyone was hurt by her actions.

She wrote ... "I deeply apologize for the hurt caused by my recent engagement with some social media posts. When I commented on these posts, I made the mistake of not realizing that they could be easily interpreted as being politically related and I apologize to anyone who understandably reached that conclusion."

The Hallmark Channel is bringing the magic of its Christmas movies to the high seas ... launching 2 star-studded cruises set to put anyone in the holiday spirit.

One of the 2 crossings -- both of which are sold out -- has already left from Miami, Florida and is heading out for the crystal blue waters of Nassau, Bahamas ... with a number of the channel's fan-favorites onboard.

The first crossing features an appearance from Jonathan Bennett, who has been lovingly dubbed the "Gay King of Christmas" by Hallmark Channel fans and is hosting the getaway. As you can see in new video obtained by TMZ ... he is already getting up close and personal with guests.

Jay Cutler isn't letting his recent DUI arrest keep him from having a good time ... the former NFL star made an appearance at the recent "Yellowstone" premiere.

The retired quarterback and his girlfriend, Samantha Robertson, stepped out in New York City Thursday evening, where they stopped by the party celebrating the highly anticipated return of the Paramount Network hit.

While Samantha posed with a wine glass in her hand, Jay was notably empty-handed for the pic ... which was smart given his recent arrest.
