Dua Lipa and the 'SNL' writers didn't let a certain gun-toting, dog-shooting politician off the hook ... and instead made Gov. Kristi Noem the punchline to kick off the show.

The singer was the host and musical act Saturday night, and shouted out her new album "Radical Optimism" during her monologue. Dua explained the album title refers to "looking on the bright side of any situation."

She proceeded to offer some examples with help from cast members in the audience, which is when Heidi Gardner stood up in a MAGA hat and said, "Hi, I'm South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem" ... opening the door for Dua to cut her off quickly.

Amy Schumer knows how to perk up a room ... playing a prank at Jimmy Buffett’s memorial to ease the melancholy in the room -- all by pulling her top down!

The actress/comedian was honored at the Variety Power of Women event in NYC where Sascha Seinfeld -- the daughter of Jerry Seinfeld and a writer on AS’ show “Life & Beth” -- introduced her by telling the NSFW story, Page Six reports.

The way Seinfeld tells it ... Amy attended a memorial dinner for the late great singer -- who passed away last September. Jimmy's widow Jane Buffett came in the room and Amy went to greet her, after making one small change to her outfit.

The man who attacked Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl in 2022 is now suing the venue and its associated security ... alleging they allowed this whole debacle to unfold.

According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Isaiah Lee -- who makes a point of saying he identifies as bisexual and has experienced homelessness in his filing -- says he rushed the stage to tackle Dave as a protest against jokes he made during the evening.

Lee says the venue's security team brutally beat him after he tackled Chappelle, allegedly spitting on him and dislocating his elbow purposefully ... and, he claims, the team allowed Chappelle's entourage to whoop on him as well.

Gillie Da Kid went viral for labeling Kendrick Lamar's booming Drake diss "corny" -- but it's a classic pot-calling-kettle black moment according to Jess Hilarious, who's got receipts!!!

"The Breakfast Club" crew was dissecting Kendrick's "Euphoria" Thursday morning, and Jess couldn't believe Gillie had such a slanted take on the song.

Jess remembered the time Gillie clucked his wings to turn into the "Chicken Man" for a song/video back in 2012 -- which she felt effortlessly defined the word "corny."

Tiffany Haddish isn't turning the other cheek when it comes to trolls online ... instead, she turns the tables -- admitting she actually tracks down folks hating in her comments.

The actress/comedian spoke with the Los Angeles Times in an interview published Thursday ... and, she touched on all the negative energy haters have thrown her way -- something that appears to get to her, and which she actually retaliates against behind the scenes.

Haddish explains her comment section's full of bullies, and they've amped up their attacks in recent months, it seems ... so, she says she's started using a cheap background check tool to find out contact info and other dirty details for her social media tormenters.

Mariah Carey always has someone around to make sure she's looking beautiful -- proven in these pictures ... which show the rule applies even when she's hitting a theme park.

The singer was at Universal Studios' Islands of Adventure in Orlando Wednesday -- where she was celebrating her twins Moroccan and Monroe's 13th birthday ... and Mama Bear herself ended up getting on one of the rides, which sent her 'do into a frenzy.

The photos are pretty freakin' hilarious -- you can see MC hanging on for dear life as she gets whipped around on the rollercoaster ... and her long, luscious locks are flying high.

Mariah Carey siempre tiene a alguien a su alrededor para asegurarse de que se ve hermosa, y quedó demostrado en este registro que confirma que la regla se aplica incluso cuando visita un parque temático.

La cantante estuvo en Universal Studios Islands of Adventure en Orlando el miércoles -celebrando el cumpleaños número 13 de sus gemelos Moroccan y Monroe, y mamá terminó subiéndose a una de las atracciones.

Las fotos son hilarantes. Se puede ver a Mariah aferrarse a la vida mientras la montaña rusa toma velocidad... y se puede ver su cabello por los aires.

Anne Hathaway aprendió por las malas que la mayoría de la gente ya no lee libros, o al menos es así si ves el "The Tonight Show".

La actriz se sentó con Jimmy Fallon esta semana para promocionar su nueva película, "The Idea Of You", basada en la novela de 2017 del mismo nombre escrita por Robinne Lee.

We're told Sammy went to hug his longtime bandmate, bassist Michael Anthony ... when he realized CS was sitting right beside him.

Mo'Nique is once again slamming Oprah and Tyler Perry -- reigniting her years-long feud with them ... and using some racially-charged language that questions their Blackness.

The comedian hit the stage during Katt Williams' latest stop -- remember, she's currently touring with him as one of the accompanying acts -- and she went on an absolute tirade against O and TP that was profanity-laden and full of insults, calling them "coon motherf*****s."

Before she got to that though ... she shouted, "F*** YOU OPRAH WINFREY, F*** YOU TYLER PERRY!!!" She also got the crowd to repeat this too, with a crude call-back.

Rudy Moreno -- a veteran L.A. comedian who's huge in the Latin comedy scene -- is currently hospitalized in the ICU ... but his spouse tells us she can't even locate him.

The stand-up's wife, Arlene, tells TMZ ... Rudy's been in the intensive care unit at a local hospital here in Los Angeles since last Tuesday -- this after she says he was admitted following a bout with pneumonia and receiving dialysis treatment.

Mike Myers returned to the spotlight for a rare public appearance this weekend ... but folks had to do a double take, 'cause nobody could recognize him with his new hair color.

The actor stepped out Saturday for the 49th AFI Life Achievement Award Gala in L.A. -- where Nicole Kidman was being honored -- which marked his first time at a public event in about a year.

Mike looked unrecognizable with short white hair -- but was rocking it proudly as he spoke onstage at one point ... and posing for tons of pics before heading inside, all smiles.

Mike Myers regresó a los focos en una rara aparición pública este fin de semana, y no fue fácil reconocerlo por su nuevo color de pelo.

Jerry Seinfeld reflected on the state of comedy ahead of his 70th birthday -- and he thinks modern-day showbiz has lost its sense of humor ... all 'cause of politically correct culture.

The legendary comedian was talking on the New Yorker's Radio Hour this past week, and he talked about where comedy in general stands today ... in his opinion, it's not great -- and it all has to do with the "extreme left," which he believes has ruined TV shows and sitcoms.

JS says people need comedy, and yet ... they're not getting their daily dose in the 21st century -- especially in 2024 -- when they turn on their televisions to wind down at night.
