Kristi Noem's book's landed her in hot water again ... this time resulting from a factual error claiming she met Kim Jong Un -- even though the meet never happened.

The South Dakota Governor went on CBS' "Face The Nation" Sunday morning to talk politics and her upcoming autobiography 'No Going Back' ... and, the show's host Margaret Brennan brought up a passage where Noem wrote she met the North Korean dictator.

Check out the clip ... Noem says the passage's being taken out of the book -- which doesn't come out until Tuesday FWIW -- after the passage was brought to her attention. Basically, arguing she had no idea the story got in there.

Dua Lipa y los guionistas de "SNL" no dejaron escapar a cierto político pistolero y cazador de perros, y en su lugar convirtieron a la gobernadora Kristi Noem en el chiste para empezar el programa.

La cantante fue la anfitriona y acto musical el sábado por la noche, y promocionó su nuevo álbum "Radical Optimism" durante su monólogo. Dua explicó que el título del álbum se refiere a "mirar el lado bueno de cualquier situación".

Ella procedió a ofrecer algunos ejemplos con la ayuda de miembros del elenco en la audiencia, y fue cuando Heidi Gardner se levantó con un sombrero MAGA y dijo: "Hola, soy la gobernadora de Dakota del Sur Kristi Noem", abriendo la puerta para que Dua la cortara rápidamente.

El Servicio Secreto está investigando un accidente mortal, en el que un carro chocó contra una barrera de la Casa Blanca, obligando a los agentes y a la policía de Washington a intervenir.

La acción se produjo a última hora la noche del sábado, sobre las 10:45, cuando un carro que circulaba a gran velocidad colisionó contra una de las verjas del perímetro exterior que rodea los terrenos de la Casa Blanca.

Los agentes de la policía metropolitana respondieron, al igual que los agentes del Servicio Secreto, rodeando el sedán plateado que se estrelló de frente contra la barrera de hormigón.

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.

The Secret Service is investigating a fatal crash -- a car slamming into a White House barrier sent agents and D.C. police scrambling.

The action went down late Saturday night, around 10:45, as a speeding car collided with one of the outer perimeter gates surrounding the White House grounds.

Metropolitan PD officers responded, but Secret Service agents were also immediately on the scene, surrounding the silver sedan ... which smashed head-on into the concrete barrier.

Bill Maher's taking aim at America's top cop, Attorney General Merrick Garland ... questioning why Democrats even gave him the job, and calling him out for screwing up federal prosecution of Donald Trump.

Maher's dismantling of the AG went down on Friday night's episode of his show, 'Real Time' ... and while he had plenty of disdain for Trump and his hush money trial in NYC, the comedian unloaded most of his ire on Garland for moving at a glacial pace to even indict Trump.

Remember, Trump's current trial is in NY state court for allegedly falsifying business records related to hush money paid to Stormy Daniels -- and Maher makes it clear, in pretty hilarious fashion, why Trump should be found guilty. Gotta tip our hat on the El Chapo drug mule joke. 😂

Mark Hamill says the force is strong with this White House, appearing at a press briefing to cap off the week and sing the praises of President Biden, whom he's already nicknamed.

The legendary actor surprised the press corp Friday -- appearing alongside press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and explaining how he got to meet the prez ... highlighting some of his legislative accomplishments.

Hamill eventually opened up the floor to questions -- with one reporter asking about MH's meeting with POTUS. While he's cagey on exactly what he and Biden talked about, he does admit he christened JB as "Joe-B-Wan Kenobi" -- and it got a laugh out of the room.

Una manifestante negra y pro Palestina fue llamada "Lizzo" por un grupo de protestantes blancos durante un acalorado enfrentamiento esta semana y recibió insultos racistas que la comparaban con un mono.

La horrible escena ocurrió el jueves en la Universidad de Mississippi, cuando los ánimos entre las facciones pro-Palestina y pro-Israel se calentaron en el campus luego de que un grupo de hombres se centrara en una mujer negra del lado palestino de las cosas.

Ella estaba sola de pie y filmando todo mientras los hombres, la mayoría de ellos blancos, la insultaban repetidamente sobre su peso, invocando el nombre de Lizzo y llamándola "perra", además de otros insultos explícitos.

A Black pro-Palestine protester was called "Lizzo" by a group of white counter-protesters during a heated faceoff this week ... and she received racist taunts likening her to a monkey.

The ugly scene went down Thursday at the University of Mississippi -- with both pro-Palestine and pro-Israel factions holding dueling protests right there on the campus, which got heated when a group of bros zeroed in on a Black female on the Palestine side of things.

She was standing there all alone and filming them ... and the men, most of whom were white, could be heard repeatedly insulting her weight -- invoking Lizzo's name to get the point across ... all while calling her a "bitch" and other explicit insults.

Sunny Hostin seems to be showing some solidarity with pro-Palestinian student protesters across the country -- or at the very least, a nod to their right to express themselves.

We caught up with "The View" cohost Thursday in NYC ... and, we asked her about the pro-Palestine demonstrations sweeping college campuses across the nation right now -- and Sunny says she thinks calling them "pro-Palestine" is the wrong way to label them.

While they are supporting Palestine against Israel, Sunny says she considers these folks anti-war protesters, saying it's a long tradition among students in the U.S. dating back years.

It's the middle of the week, and TMZ's got a whole bunch of clips to get you over the hump (day).

On "TMZ Live" ... Harvey and Charles analyze Britney Spears calling her sister Jamie Lynn a "bitch" in a rambling, somewhat incoherent video.

Sunny Hostin thinks Donald Trump's antics in court could cost him during the general election later this year -- because she seems to think folks will remember him as Gassy Don.

"The View" cohost launched into a diatribe on the hit talk show Wednesday ... sharing her thoughts on 45's criminal trial and candidacy, beginning by expressing her shock at how DT's caught up to President Joe Biden in the polls.

Check out the clip ... SH says she thinks the ex-Prez is slowly starting to lose it -- mentioning how he violated a gag order, leading to a $9k fine, before mentioning his alleged flatulence.

Caitlyn Jenner is popping off about the ongoing pro-Palestine protests at college campuses across the country -- and she's got a strong take ... ship these folks to the Middle East!!!

The former Olympian fired off a strongly-worded opinion on all the demonstrations happening at American universities -- particularly those who are using LGBTQ+ imagery as a way of standing in solidarity with what's going on in Gaza.

Specifically, she commented on a video of protesters at Cal Poly Humboldt -- where students were being asked to disperse ... with one spinning around a rainbow-colored umbrella.

George Santos breathed new life into his old drag queen persona -- bringing back his old shtick in a new video ... where he seems inclined to say hello for some cash.

The ousted GOP congressman hopped on Cameo -- where he has an account, and where he's hawking personalized messages for people -- dressed in a familiar getup that he used to rock back in his youth ... namely, as Kitara Ravache, his drag character.

Remember ... this is how he'd dress up way back in the day when he was hanging out down in Brazil -- something that came to light when he was a congressman and wrapped in scandal.

Un tribunal acaba de declarar a Donald Trump en desacato por violar una orden que le prohíbe hablar del caso penal de dineros para sobornos, y aunque solo tiene que pagar multas por ahora, el juez lo está amenazando con la cárcel.

El ex Presidente sufrió una bofetada el martes, tras recibir algunas sanciones de parte de un tribunal de Nueva York, que le impuso una multa de $9.000 mil por cada violación de la orden de silencio emitida en este caso y que exige que todos cierren la boca y no hagan declaraciones públicas al respecto, incluyendo Donald Trump.

Si bien puede parecer poca cosa, y ciertamente lo es para un tipo como Trump, su señoría mantuvo la posibilidad de encerrarlo temporalmente si sigue hablando.

Donald Trump just got held in contempt of court for violating a gag order in his criminal hush money case -- and while he only has to pay fines for now ... the judge is threatening jail.

The ex-Prez got slapped with some sanctions Tuesday in NYC, where a court imposed a $9,000 fine -- a thousand for each violation of the gag order that's been issued in this case, which demands everyone shut their yap and not make public statements ... including DT.

While it might seem like small potatoes -- and it certainly is for a guy like Trump -- hizzoner held the prospect of temporary incarceration over Trump's head if he kept running his mouth.
