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.

NUMBERS DON'T LIE
TMZ.com

50 Cent's hit series "Power Book II: Ghost" is going out with a bang, but series costar Gianni Paolo has real beef with Hollywood's TV sector ... millions tune into their show while award shows act like they don't exist!!!

Gianni tells us the proof is in the puddin' ... his "Power" series topples critically acclaimed shows like "The Bear," "Succession" and "The Penguin" in terms of ratings, but feels like the Golden Globe and Emmys voters simply don't like -- or get -- hood cinema.

It's not just during award season Gianni says he feels the cold shoulder ... he notes how "Power" cast members missed out on being interviewed by the Jimmy Fallons and Jimmy Kimmels of the entertainment world. Good thing TMZ Hip Hop exists, eh? 😅

BLASTING LINDSAY & JESSICA

Diddy’s every move is being dissected following his recent bombshell indictment -- and now a bizarre resurfaced video shows him calling out Lindsay Lohan and Jessica Simpson over their skincare endorsements.

It's a seriously cringe-worthy clip, with Diddy going on about how his "silky smooth cocoa butter skin" was courtesy of Proactiv long before Lindsay and Jessica made it trendy in the beauty scene.

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!!!"

Rashee Rice's mother is being accused of swiping a package containing Chappell Roan records right from her neighbor's porch just hours after the Kansas City Chiefs receiver went down with an injury on Sunday ... and the neighbor says it was all captured on video.

TMZ Sports has obtained Ring footage of what one Texas resident claims shows Marsha Kearney -- wearing a custom "Momma-Rice" No. 4 jersey -- walk by their doorway and look right into the camera before walking down the hall around 6:39 PM CT on September 29, a few hours after the Chiefs defeated the Chargers in Los Angeles.

You can see the woman in the jersey then made her way back to the door, slid a package sitting on the ground with her foot and moved it out of frame (or so she thought).
