Controversial S#!T

Sarah Silverman's comedy style has changed quite a bit since she first burst onto the scene -- and she says there's a very good reason for it ... Donald Trump.

The comedian recently hopped onto David Duchovny's 'Fail Better' podcast, where she explained how Trump becoming president inspired her to ditch the "arrogant ignorant" persona she became known for when in the 2000s.

She noted that her first comedy special and subsequent Comedy Central show was all centered on a character/shtick she was putting on ... which was an offensive caricature of herself.

Body cam footage from Scottie Scheffler's arrest at the PGA Championship earlier this month has just surfaced ... and in the new video, you can hear the world's best golfer admitting he "should have stopped" for the cop who was barking orders at him outside the major event.

The clip was posted on Facebook back on May 23 -- six days after Scheffler was first arrested -- but it just began making its rounds on other social media apps on Wednesday morning.

It shows Scheffler in the back of a squad car minutes after he allegedly ignored a policeman and then dragged him with his vehicle as he attempted to make his way into Valhalla Golf Club to get ready for his early morning tee time.

Jenna Ortega has voiced her support for Palestine ... 6 months after her "Scream" costar, Melissa Barrera, was fired from the franchise for doing the same thing.

The actress -- who played Melissa's little sister in 2022's "Scream" and 2023's "Scream VI" -- took to her Instagram on Tuesday, sharing her stance on the Israel-Hamas war after airstrikes hit Rafah and reportedly killed at least 45 people.

The "Wednesday" star wrote ... "Masses debating over a ceasefire while thousands upon thousands of children continue being slaughtered. Where is the humanity."

Pope Francis' homophobic slur is being dismissed as no big deal, especially considering most seminaries are mostly made up of gay dudes ... so claims one priest anyway.

Father James Alison -- a practicing Catholic and theologian in Madrid, and who's openly gay -- shared his POV on "TMZ Live" Tuesday ... explaining when the Pope speaks to Italian bishops behind closed doors, he's most likely addressing a group primarily composed of gay men -- with FJA theorizing he's likely fully aware of their sexuality 'cause he lives with them.

Therefore, Father James says he likely used the term in a positive/light-hearted context, among people he knows, rather than in a negative way typically associated with the term.

Jason Kelce is adamant his wife isn't "a homemaker" ... saying in response to a social media troll this week that he considers Kylie Kelce his partner and his "equal" when it comes to raising their family.

Kelce faced off with the heckler on X on Monday morning ... after the app user criticized the future Hall of Famer for the way he disagreed with some of the remarks Harrison Butker made during the Chiefs star's controversial Benedictine College commencement address earlier this month.

The keyboard warrior called Jason a "hypocrite," insisting Jason's wife "is a homemaker whose home is a mess." Jason then took about 24 hours to respond ... and, it's safe to say he disagreed vehemently with the ridiculer's accusation.

Molly Ringwald is opening up about her experiences as a teen star ... sharing her time in Hollywood was more daunting than fans realize, 'cause she says she was preyed upon.

The 'Breakfast Club' actress reflected on her early career during the latest episode of the "WTF with Marc Maron" podcast, where she recalled being "taken advantage of" -- this despite her shy demeanor and introverted nature as a budding celeb.

She added ... "You can't be a young actress in Hollywood and not have predators around." Now, while Molly says she wasn't sexually assaulted by any one individual -- she does feel she was exploited ... although she doesn't quite get into the details of how, or by whom.

Jelly Roll's sober strategy involves just a dash of drugs ... 'cause he says he needs marijuana to live a clean lifestyle -- claiming without it he'd go back to harder stuff in a heartbeat.

The singer-songwriter opened up about his coping mechanism during an interview with Taste of Country ... admitting he smokes weed to stay away from other drugs he's used in the past.

JR says, "I think a world without weed, Jelly Roll’s drinking codeine and popping Xanax and snorting cocaine again, but a world with weed, I’ll be alright" -- it's a bold statement, and Jelly admits it's a hot-button issue to argue Mary Jane keeps him sober.

Richard Dreyfuss is in hot water with fans after a Q&A before a "Jaws" screening allegedly took a wild turn ... with many online accusing him of sexism and homophobia.

The actor appeared at The Cabot Theater in Beverly, Massachusetts Saturday night for a discussion with fans of the hit 1975 film ... during which fans are saying he made comments about transgender people -- particularly transgender kids.

Video of the rant itself hasn't surfaced yet ... but, a clip allegedly shot in the lead-up to the convo is floating around on YouTube -- and, it shows Dreyfuss wearing a dress and performing a dance of sorts to Taylor Swift's "Love Story."

11:58 AM PT -- Another Cannes' attendee has called out the same security guard ... Ukrainian model Sawa Pontyjska -- better known as Miss Europe 2023 -- shared a clip where she ended up in a bear hug by security. Unclear exactly what led up to the confrontation.

Kelly Rowland is racking up allies in the South of France -- a South Korean actress is now the third woman to get into it with the same Cannes Film Festival security guard Kelly chewed out.

Yoona -- a K-pop star turned actress -- was on the same grand staircase Kelly had been on a couple days earlier, and as she posed for pics and waved to fans ... the female security staffer blocked Yoona with her arm and rushed her into the event.

It was the same exact move the usher pulled with Kelly, except Yoona went much more peacefully. Not a single finger in the face this time around.

AMC is getting a "Sicilian message" of sorts from one of the "Goodfellas" crew after the network slapped a new warning on the mob classic ... causing fans to flip more than Tommy -- aka Joe Pesci -- being told to get his shine box.

Here's the deal ... TMZ recently reported AMC added a warning over outdated stereotypes in addition to violence and language ... and, it caused some serious online backlash.

Frank Sivero, who played the hilarious stone-cold killer Frankie Carbone, tells TMZ the trigger warning is not just unnecessary ... it is an insult to the actors, who include Robert De Niro and the late Ray Liotta.

Taylor Swift's jet-setting has some up in arms ... including a prominent TV naturalist who's saying the pop star needs to shake off those climate-destroying private planes!

Chris Packham -- a nature photographer and television presenter for the BBC -- spoke with The Mirror in the UK and shared his disappointment about the cease and desist letter TS sent to Jack Sweeney, the programmer who tracked her jet publicly.

In Packham's eyes ... the letter proved a rare miss from the beloved pop queen -- saying she should've used the opportunity to see the error of her ways instead of threatening someone for calling her out.

Morgan Wallen postponed the opening of his Nashville saloon over Memorial Day amid the prosecution of his felony criminal case for his alleged chair-throwing incident.

Here's the scoop ... Wallen, along with TC Restaurant Group, owns "This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen" in downtown Nashville, which was supposed to open its doors to the public this weekend -- but it didn't work out that way.

Reps for "This Bar & Tennessee Kitchen" issued a statement Friday, breaking the bad news about the opening without providing a new date for it.

Harrison Butker was back before a podium Friday in his first public appearance since his controversial commencement speech – and he stood firm in his beliefs without giving an inch to his detractors.

Last evening, the K.C. Chiefs kicker gave another sermon onstage for the "Courage Under Fire" gala at Regina Caeli Academy – a traditional Catholic institution – in Nashville, Tennessee.

As a member of the school's board of directors, Butker leaned in heavily on his message from Benedictine College two weeks ago that rubbed many people the wrong way.

Britney Spears is backing her old fling Wade Robson for opening up about his past trauma of allegedly being molested as a kid -- and Michael Jackson fans are furious about it.

The singer posted -- and then deleted -- a B&W vid of Wade talking about his podcast "Trauma to Triumph" ... and, in true Brit fashion, began rambling about how his story hit her right in the feels, and why she totally understood what he was saying.

BS explained it warmed her heart to see an "older man" opening up about his challenges, sparking the whole reflection about her own troubled past.

Stan Van Gundy is going scorched earth on The Worldwide Leader ... after the network unceremoniously dumped his little brother Jeff Van Gundy after nearly two decades with ESPN, and he's PISSED!

Jeff -- an NBA head coach for 11 seasons (Knicks, Rockets) -- worked for ESPN for 17 years until he was laid off last summer.

JVG has largely been quiet about the shocking move ... but, not so much for his brother Stan, who aired out his frustrations on Dan Le Batard's "South Beach Sessions" show.

When "South Park" drops a new special called, "The End of Obesity," ya gotta know someone or something's getting destroyed -- and in this case, it's weight loss drugs and Lizzo ... via "body positivity."

Here's the deal ... in the Paramount+ special, which started streaming Friday, the women of "South Park" (and, of course, the buffoon Randy), all turn to Ozempic to lose weight ... while lying by saying they're exercising to drop the lbs.

Cartman, the iconic angry, fat kid on the long-running cartoon, wants some of that sweet Ozempic for himself -- but since he doesn't have diabetes, insurance won't cover it, and he can't afford the hefty price tag.
