Controversial S#!T

The NFL hasn't docked Nick Bosa any pay for his impromptu, on-field MAGA hat display last month -- but he says he'd welcome a fine if one does come down ... telling reporters this week, "It was well worth it."

The 49ers superstar donned the pro-Donald Trump cap just minutes after San Francisco beat the Dallas Cowboys on Oct. 27 ... and many have wondered if he'd lose some of his paycheck over it.

After all, the NFL has prohibited its players from wearing personal, non-league-approved messages.

John Hinckley Jr., the attempted assassin who shot President Ronald Reagan in the '80s, is now getting a barrage of heinous requests online ... asking him to do the same to President-elect Donald Trump.

The jarring posts popped up on X after Hinckley posted a link to his community website Tuesday, encouraging fans to check out his new music ... only to see a number of people respond with wishes for him to take out Trump hours after DT won the 2024 presidential election.

The comments are beyond troubling, with some telling Hinckley they've "got a job for [him]" and that the country needs him "now more than ever."

Sauce Walka has a provocative take in the wake of Donald Trump's crushing victory in Texas and the 2024 Presidential election ... he thinks it takes balls to operate the Oval Office!!!

The Houston rapper gloated on Wednesday by rubbing Team Trump's win in the faces of Kamala Harris supporters with a chauvinist dig on Elon Musk's X where he wrote, "Trump... this is a man’s job ... 🤷🏾‍♂️ love you ladies."

Sauce told his fans not to put more stock into the election than their own hustle ... but also got saucy reposting a fan who claimed his 9-year-old son refused to endorse Kamala simply because she's a woman!!!

Travis Kelce is sticking up for his older bro after his recent blowup on a spectator at the Penn State game -- saying he knows Jason has no hate in his heart.

The Kelce bros kicked off their latest episode of their "New Heights" podcast by addressing the elephant in the room ... with the Philadelphia Eagles legend once again expressing his regret over entertaining the heckler -- especially returning homophobic language hurled at him in the altercation.

The Kansas City Chiefs superstar then spoke on the situation ... saying he knows the magnitude of it all is taking a toll on Jason -- but he feels like it isn't as big of a deal as it's been made out to be.

Jason Kelce has received both support and backlash following his viral phone-smashing incident ... but ex-NBA player Rashad McCants is undoubtedly in the future Hall of Famer's corner -- telling TMZ Sports he has no issues with how the Eagles legend dealt with the unruly Penn State fan this weekend.

Kelce's recent outburst has the masses split ... with those in opposition saying he crossed the line by repeating homophobic slurs a man made about his brother, Travis, prior to spiking the cell on the pavement.

The former North Carolina Tar Heels superstar shared his two cents while out in L.A. this week -- before Kelce himself addressed the situation on "Monday Night Countdown" -- and he said the instigator should be counting his lucky stars it didn't escalate further.

Joel Embiid just got hit with a suspension as a result of his physical altercation with a reporter ... receiving a three-game ban for his actions after the Sixers' loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday.

The whole issue stemmed from a column from Marcus Hayes of the Philadelphia Inquirer ... who criticized Embiid's absence from games -- making questionable comments about his late brother and son in the process.

Embiid confronted Hayes at Wells Fargo Arena shortly after the weekend matchup with Memphis ... reportedly saying, "The next time you bring up my dead brother and my son again, you are going to see what I’m going to do to you and I'm going to have to ... live with the consequences."

Tom Hanks is defending his work against folks who get paid to review his films ... and he says a lot of the movie critics out there are "c***suckers."

The Oscar-winner teed off on movie critics during an epic rant on Conan O'Brien's podcast ... ripping them for some of the responses he's gotten over his long career in Hollywood.

One movie sticks out to Tom and Conan ... his 1996 flick "That Thing You Do!" It was Tom's debut as a screenwriter and director and it got bad reviews at first, but now it's considered a cult classic and Tom says one critic who ripped the film is now doing a 180.

Elon Musk went in hard on Jennifer Lopez ... saying it's rich she's warning people about Donald Trump but was mum about ex-boyfriend Sean "Diddy" Combs for all these years.

Musk appeared on Joe Rogan's podcast and did not mince words ... "J Lo was like his ex-girlfriend and it's like now deciding she's like warning people against Trump. How many people did she warn against Diddy, right? Oh zero, ok. Maybe we shouldn't trust her."

As you know, J Lo and Diddy dated from 1999 to 2001. Several allegations against Diddy supposedly occurred during that time frame, including an alleged assault against a 13-year-old girl.

Peanut the Squirrel's tragic fate is stirring emotions across the Internet, but at least one town leader in Chemung, NY -- where Peanut's owner lives -- isn't rattled at all, and seems over the whole ordeal.

Chemung Town Supervisor George Richter tells TMZ ... he has no knowledge of the squirrel saga exploding on his turf. Remember, Mark Longo and his wife, Daniela, claim 2 of their rescue pets -- Peanut and Fred the raccoon -- were unjustly seized last week, and killed over alleged rabies concerns.

While the story's gone viral, Richter says he has no plans to advocate on behalf of the late Peanut, nor Mark and Daniela -- making it clear he won't be speaking to Governor Kathy Hochul about the raid.

Peanut The Squirrel should be alive right now, because it's improbable the fully domesticated animal had rabies ... so says an infectious disease expert.

NY state officials killed the internet sensation last week in order to test Peanut for rabies, but a doctor well versed in rabies says authorities might have jumped the gun in impulsively testing for the disease.

Dr. Edward R. Rensimer tells TMZ ... the CDC's position is that squirrels are not considered to be carriers or spreaders of rabies and to his knowledge, there's never been a recorded case of squirrel-to-human rabies transmission.

New body cam footage from the Florida Gators-Georgia Bulldogs game on Saturday shows more fighting in the crowd between cops and a spectator — with the n-word being thrown around like punches.

Check it out ... it starts off with two cops — one Black and the other white — approaching a Caucasian man kicking back in a stadium chair with a woman standing behind him.

The officers tell the man he needs to move because he's sitting on private property — but the guy doesn't budge and threatens to "kill a cop."

Jason Kelce was back on the ESPN set on Monday, but it wasn't business as usual for the retired NFL star ... who opened up Monday Night Countdown with an apology for his actions.

"I think everybody's seen on social media everything that took place this week," the 36-year-old said at the top of the show from Arrowhead Stadium.

"Listen, I'm not happy with anything that took place. I'm not proud of it. In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate and I just don't think that's a productive thing. I really don't."

Jason Kelce is on video using a homophobic slur in a fight where he's defending his brother Travis Kelce and his girlfriend Taylor Swift ... and the question is was this justified?

We tackle the burning issue in today's edition of TMZ TV Hot Takes ... and this one has the office firing off their opinions.

Harvey and Charles tackled the big story from the weekend on "TMZ Live" ... breaking down the video showing the heated interaction from the Penn State campus before a big football game.

Jason Kelce's altercation with an unruly spectator at the Penn State game this weekend is on law enforcement's radar ... with officials looking into the matter.

TMZ Sports has learned ... the school's Police and Public Safety agencies are investigating the viral interaction between the Philadelphia Eagles legend and a man who referred to his brother, Travis, as a homophobic slur ... and the process is "ongoing."

Kelce was in town to catch the massive showdown between Ohio State and Penn State ... which the Buckeyes ultimately won by a final score of 20-13.

Danica Patrick is taking shots at Kamala Harris' bevy of A-list backers ... accusing the group of Hollywood elites of having ties to disgraced music mogul Diddy.

The retired NASCAR driver slammed the Vice President's celebrity supporters during what she said was an unscripted speech at Donald Trump's rally in Pennsylvania Sunday.

Danica confirmed to the crowd she was "winging" her address, noting she wasn't "paid to be here" and that she didn't "need a telephone" to give her speech. That was an apparent dig at rapper Cardi B, who read off her phone after facing teleprompter issues during Harris' rally in Milwaukee Friday.

Diddy's lawyers have asked a judge to restrict statements made by potential witnesses and their lawyers outside of court ... citing one grand jury witness in particular who keeps speaking to the press.

The music producer’s team filed the documents Sunday ... asking the judge to expedite the process of responding to Diddy's motion for a gag order because one witness -- a man named Courtney Burgess -- has given multiple interviews in recent days.

TMZ caught up with Burgess and his attorney, Ariel Mitchell, outside the courthouse Thursday ... with Mitchell telling us Courtney was called to testify because he has or has seen salacious videos of Diddy and his celebrity friends.
