Katy Perry just left for Manchester ahead of her performance alongside Ariana Grande -- but she looks half asleep ... with a full bedtime getup.

Paps got Katy leaving Paris Sunday morning to board a private jet as she prepared to join Ariana, Justin Bieber and the rest of the star-studded lineup for One Love Manchester.

Unfortunately, Katy looks like she didn't get a good night's sleep. She's got PJs on ... including a pillow and a teddy bear with her too.

Jon Stewart says Mr. Met has been maligned -- telling TMZ Sports he understands why his favorite team's mascot would be driven to flip the bird during a game.

Of course, Mr. Met got the ax after video surfaced showing the baseball-headed mascot shooting the 1-finger salute to a fan at Citi Field.

Stewart was leaving Michael's NY restaurant Thursday and explained why Mr. Met has been a ticking time bomb ... working in a hostile environment filled with his natural enemy -- bats.

Donald Trump might be America's midnight wordsmith, but Merriam-Webster isn't bowing to all the covfefe -- the President's made-up lingo will NOT be in their good book.

Merriam-Webster's editor-at-large, Peter Sololowski, tells TMZ ... Trump's now infamous word won't be making an appearance in their dictionary anytime soon, despite TONS of people trying to define it this week.

Sololowski believes covfefe was simply a typo, and says MW doesn't create entries for what it considers misspelled words. MW's website's been flooded with covfefe searches since Trump's late night tweet ... and Sololwski says they're serving up suggestions like coffee, coven, cover, covet and covey.

BTW ... White House sources tell us they maintain what Sean Spicer said Wednesday -- that covfefe was deliberate ... and its true meaning is known only to a select group.

Sex and trash talk.

That summed up Kevin Hart's poker experience in Vegas -- after he trashed a bunch of poker pros and then banged the table after winning a big hand.

It was HILARIOUS!!

Kev was playing in PokerGO’s Super High Roller Bowl at the Aria in Vegas -- and in his quest for the $6 million grand prize, Hart got locked in an "all in" battle with pro poker player Brian Rast.

Kev promised if he won the hand, he was gonna bang the table.

He won -- and the table got railed.

T.I. finally witnessed the showdown that's been building for weeks -- between 2 of his homies -- and it left him laughing his ass off!!

The rapper was leaving Crustacean Sunday in Bev Hills when his crew decided it was time to settle a dispute -- who's the fastest man alive? On tour ... on that particular day ... with T.I.?

Tip -- who's in the middle of his Hustle Gang Tour -- picked the winner, and also worked traffic control. They raced in the middle of the street, after all.

King Bach is the biggest Vine success story there is, and although the social media service is no more ... he'll never forget what got him here.

We got the comedian and actor -- real name Andrew Bachelor -- outside Nightingale Plaza in L.A. Sunday night. Our guy asks him if he feels bad for pioneering the now defunct video service because it featured so much bad acting.

Short answer -- hell no!

Bach's Vine stardom has led to more mainstream success -- he's appeared on TV shows like "Angie Tribeca," "Workaholics" and "Black Jesus" and in the movie "Fifty Shades of Black."

But the King hasn't forgotten where he came from ... as you can tell from the hilarious vid we interrupted.

Funny moment with Irish superstar Colin Farrell ... who apparently hasn't done his Irish duty of checking in on Conor McGregor's baby yet.

Farrell jokes that he "should" check up on Ireland's most famous baby -- and then cracks on our photog for not keeping up with Irish politics.

The best part's when Colin tries to zing our Australian camera guy, Charlie, for being an uneducated American.

As for Conor Jr. ... he's chillin'.

Justin Bieber can certainly afford a chiropractor, but in a pinch an actor/model will do.

Patrick Schwarzenegger gave the Biebs a lift on the streets of New York City Saturday, and it looks like they went virtually unnoticed.

In all fairness ... they were actually in SoHo, where it's super uncool to gawk at celebs.

The boyz know each other from L.A. and it's not the first time they've hung out together.

Bieber's got some downtime ... he's in the middle of his "Purpose" tour.

Hillary Clinton inspired grads at her alma mater ... to lean on the bottle when times get tough.

That's mostly a joke, but HRC did talk about how she's been coping during her commencement speech Friday at Wellesley College.

She was cracking wise about the election loss, but did fall back into campaign mode ... with a trademark coughing fit.

Not to worry ... she squeezed in a subtle jab at President Trump, saying ... "In the years to come there will be trolls galore. They may even call you a nasty woman."

If you're about to eat breakfast ... DON'T!!!!

This video is gonna make you hurl your cronut (are people still eating those?).

Shaquille O'Neal decided to peel off his shoe and reveal his hideous MONSTER FOOT on "Inside the NBA" on Thursday ... and it was gross.

Everyone on the panel was disgusted. Ernie Johnson said Shaq's foot looked like "a potato and four toes."

Gotta admit ... the foot actually looks better than the last time we saw it.

But the bar ain't high.

Lil Yachty's probably a Mobb Deep fan ... it's how he rolls in Hollywood.

The 19-year-old rapper practically took over Hollywood Blvd. with a fan meetup Thursday for his "Teenage Emotions" album release party. It's pretty cool ... he strolls with some hardcore fans as curious peeps look on wondering what the commotion's all about.

Yachty even runs into Hollywood's favorite Wookiee warrior.

The mass eventually ended up at Loews Hollywood Hotel where the rapper for some reason decided a food fight had to go down. Cops were not called following the destruction and it's unclear if Yachty's in hot water with the hotel.

Teenagers these days ...

Comedian Luenell says it's no wonder Melania Trump swatted her Prez hubby's hand ... because she's been thrown into a life for which she didn't sign up.

The 'Borat' star touched down at LAX Tuesday and didn't hesitate to psychoanalyze the President and First Lady's relationship. She's no Freud, but she's definitely better than your average armchair shrink.

Watch the video ... Luenell thinks Melania's life was in the bag -- literally -- but it was all undone when the Electoral College voted.

Rachel Lindsay got to meet all her guys on the premiere of "The Bachelorette" -- and none stood out more than Lucas for one reason ... Whaboom!

Lucas was the last of Rachel's suitors to be introduced Monday night, and he certainly has a unique personality ... not mention a standout job. According to his "Bachelorette" profile, his occupation is listed as just, well, Whaboom.

Canada's Prime Minister does 2 things exceptionally well that sometimes coincide ... jogging and photobombing.

Justin Trudeau went on a run Saturday along Stanley Park Seawall in Vancouver, where he zipped by a group of kids taking pics for their prom. Naturally, it made for an epic photobomb ... him in full stride and smiling.

The high schoolers quickly noticed their leader, and since he's a nice guy ... he took an official shot with the youngsters.

Oh, Trudeau.

Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway and the rest of the White House team sang a song of hope to fire up the season finale of SNL ... just like Hillary Clinton did 6 months ago.

Alec Baldwin as Trump began playing the opening chords to "Hallelujah" during the cold open, and was soon joined by Conway, Mike Pence and a good chunk of his WH staff. Melissa McCarthy's Sean Spicer was noticeably absent.

Anyway, the sing-along might ring a bell -- Kate McKinnon did the song as Clinton the weekend after the presidential election ... telling America she wasn't giving up and they shouldn't either.

Baldwin's Trump has a similar message, but a different (and hilarious) rationale.

Stephen Colbert looked super relaxed Saturday in NYC, apparently relieved the Commander in Chief is otherwise occupied.

The talk show king clearly thinks Donald Trump shouldn't rush things along in the Middle East ... favoring an extended trip for the Prez.

Colbert was on his way in to Milk Studios for Vulture Fest, where he sat with Aziz Ansari, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kevin Bacon on a panel to discuss the TV biz.

The good news for Colbert ... wherever in the world Trump is, there's plenty of material.
