2024 Presidential Election

Jimmy Kimmel enjoys needling Donald Trump over his defects ... especially those of an alleged smelly nature that may have come out his rear end.

The host of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" devoted a portion of his show's monologue Thursday night to the Republican presidential nominee's alleged gas emissions while speaking onstage to a crowd during a campaign speech in Detroit, Michigan.

Kimmel first attacked Trump's theory that schools are changing boys into girls with sex change operations ... pointing out it's an utter lie, and there are more important issues for Americans to worry about.

Donald Trump's adding a new member to the family soon ... announcing he's about to be a grandfather for the 11th time -- 'cause his daughter, Tiffany, is pregnant!

The former POTUS let the news slip during a speech to the Detroit Economic Club Thursday afternoon while he was complimenting his daughter's father-in-law, Massad Boulos.

DJT said Boulos "happens to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy. And, she’s an exceptional young woman. And, she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice.”

A cast of Donald Trump's head was recently used as an unconventional soccer ball ... all in the name of art.

Check it out ... what appears to be a rubber or latex object shaped like 45's dome was kicked around at an exhibit at Superchief Gallery in Los Angeles last weekend. As you can see, participants dribbled and booted the facsimile of the former president's noggin in an indoor game.

The controversial art installation comes from the activist art collective INDECLINE ... best known for creating the jaw-dropping naked Trump statue that "Ghost Adventures" star Zak Bagans bought for a whopping $28K.

Travis Barker's daughter says she's not educated enough on the issues to cast a ballot this year ... and, she doesn't have the interest in politics to try to figure it out.

Alabama Barker -- TB's 18-year-old daughter, who he shares with Shanna Moakler -- took to Instagram Live Thursday to tell her followers she doesn't plan to vote in the November election.

Basically, Alabama says she's not educated on the issues ... and, even though she has some opinions on politics, she doesn't know enough to feel comfortable hopping in a voting booth next month.

Donald Trump says he's got some Pinocchio in him ... saying he's "basically a truthful person" during a podcast interview -- and, the statement had one podcast host laughing in his face.

The 45th POTUS stopped by "Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh" podcast ... and, he launched into a discussion of the ads his presidential opponent Kamala Harris is running -- saying they're full of falsehoods about him.

DJT says Kamala's team is twisting his views on IVF and his use of the word "bloodbath" when discussing the economy in new TV ads ... saying it's all come out as an unfair depiction of him.

Kamala Harris on Tuesday night leaned into the old adage that you want to elect someone you can have a beer with -- and she did exactly that with Stephen Colbert.

The Vice President sat down with Colbert on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" and the two discussed her campaign to become the next president of the United States with under a month left in her race against the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.

Colbert kicked things off, pointing out that ever since Kamala named Tim Walz as her VP pick everyone has been calling it the "vibe election."

The mayor of Aurora, Colorado is pushing back on Donald Trump ahead of the former president's campaign rally in town ... saying Trump's assessment of immigration issues in the city is way overblown.

Trump's campaign called Aurora a "war zone" in a Tuesday statement announcing Friday's rally ... claiming an influx of migrants is bringing chaos and fear to the city, with a Venezuelan gang terrorizing apartment complexes and forcing locals to flee their homes.

The campaign announcement makes it sound like Trump's going to keep fanning the flames and paint Aurora as a once-promising city besieged by dangerous migrants ... but the town's top elected official says, not so fast.

Mike Coffman, Aurora's Republican Mayor, said in a statement ... "The reality is that the concerns about Venezuelan gang activity have been grossly exaggerated."

Viral videos from back in August showing armed gang members allegedly taking over entire apartment complexes in Aurora -- part of the Denver metro area -- became a big talking point during the Trump campaign ... but Coffman says the situation is not as dire as Trump makes it seem.

Coffman says, "The incidents were limited to several apartment complexes in this city of more than 400,000 residents."

Despite the fact check, Coffman is welcoming Trump with open arms, and Coffman wants to use the visit as "an opportunity to show him and the nation that Aurora is a considerably safe city -- not a city overrun by Venezuelan gangs."

A source tells TMZ ... Coffman's office has NOT had contact with Trump's camp yet, but the Mayor's offer to show Trump around town and give DT a police briefing still stands. For the moment ... the only coordinating has been for security.

Mayor Coffman has no plans to attend the rally, we're told.

Sally Field is opening up about her own "illegal" abortion experience ahead of the November election ... as she hopes her story will resonate with voters.

The Oscar winner shared her "traumatic" story in a video posted to Instagram Sunday evening, where she confirmed she got pregnant at 17 just after graduating high school.

As she put it ... she didn't have family support or finances to go through with the pregnancy, and so, a family doctor arranged to take her to Mexico so she could get an abortion.

Donald Trump is returning to the place in Pennsylvania where he nearly lost his life, to pick up where he left off in his campaign rally before he was shot in the ear.

The Republican presidential candidate is rolling into Butler, PA, to hold a Saturday rally for his supporters after the July 13 assassination attempt at the Butler Farm Show grounds -- exactly where the horrific incident took place almost 3 months ago.

You may recall ... Thomas Crooks climbed to the roof of a building and fired a bullet that grazed Trump's right ear just inches from his skull as he stood on stage giving a speech. A Secret Service agent fatally gunned down Crooks, but not before the assailant shot to death one attendee and wounded two others.

George Lopez doesn't buy the idea that Melania Trump is a pro-choice supporter one bit, gauging from her choice in picking Donald Trump as a husband -- but he isn't giving the same scrutiny to the ongoing Diddy saga!!!

TMZ caught up with GL in NYC and the comedian couldn't help but scoff at Mrs. Trump's grand revelation that there should be no restrictions against abortion in the U.S. -- which totally contradicts DJT's ongoing presidential campaign.

Switching gears, George says he doesn't side with the nonstop wave of Diddy jokes on social media since the allegations started ... well, sort of.

Fat Joe is still going hard for victims of the American healthcare system ... he's pumping a new “Power to the Patients” PSA, urging politicians to fix cryptic healthcare costs -- dropping it during crunch time of an election year!!!

That urgency is felt in the new ad ... Joe addresses political officials on both sides of the fence, with various American workers backing his every word.

“To every elected official and politician in America, the people stand united, desperate for you to listen,” Joe demands. “If you’re not advocating for prices and transparency in healthcare, you are compromising every single American across this country. Because when we can’t see prices -- hospitals, insurance, and their middlemen charge us whatever they want. Our very own healthcare system is robbing all of us. We just need the prices. That’s how our economy works!!!"

Melania Trump's husband may have once voiced support for a national abortion ban, but the former First Lady is making it clear she's 100% pro-choice.

In an excerpt from Melania's upcoming eponymous memoir, Donald Trump's wife passionately backs a woman's right to choose regarding abortion ... questioning whether the government should be allowed to dictate what a woman does with her own body.

She writes ... "Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life."

Gary Estes, the Texas man who spent $4,000 to destroy a Taylor Swift guitar, is shaking off criticism following the highly debated viral moment.

The 67-year-old has spoken out in the aftermath of the controversial video, which saw him bidding thousands of dollars to obtain a guitar allegedly signed by the pop star ... only to smash it with a hammer directly after buying it.

Estes says he didn't have any "malicious" intentions behind the destructive gesture ... clarifying it "was just a joke" -- and one he didn't even come up with.

Tim Walz was all about spreading the love at the Vice Presidential debate -- rocking a friendship bracelet that gave a massive nod to Taylor Swift's Kamala Harris endorsement.

Walz flashed the accessory during Tuesday's debate with J.D. Vance ... showing a few glimpses of it under his white sleeve as he gestured with his hands on stage.

It's not confirmed if Walz's bracelet is from the $20 Harris-Walz campaign merch that dropped after T-Swift's endorsement last month, featuring both candidates' names. But either way, it had Swifties buzzing with excitement!

"The Apprentice" -- one of the most contentious and sought-after films of the year, depicting the life of a young Donald Trump -- is too spicy for some major TV networks ... at least during presidential and VP debates

Briarcliff Entertainment, the film's distributor, tells TMZ ... a 15-second advertisement for the film was rejected by both ABC and CBS from airing during debate nights.

CBS, which is hosting tonight's debate between Tim Walz and J.D. Vance, told Briarcliff the network doesn't feel comfortable promoting "The Apprentice" in the debate or during national news -- but is open to advertising the film during other parts of the day.

Jimmy Carter's milestone birthday is one worth extra celebration ... the former president's 100th birthday makes history as he becomes the longest living prez.

The longtime politician turned 100 on Tuesday ... after spending the last 19 months in hospice care. He is the only U.S. President to live to 100.

Carter served as the 39th president of the United States after previously serving as the 76th governor of Georgia. The former president has always been dedicated to service ... whether it was his time in the Navy or his volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity.
