One White House reporter got an unexpected news flash of her own when a bird decided her head was the perfect perch just before she went live ... and it's all on video!

Peep the clip -- NewsNation's Kellie Meyer was all set to start reporting outside the White House when a daring bird decided her head was prime real estate for a quick pit stop, fluttering up and clearly ready for its close-up.

At first glance, it might seem like your run-of-the-mill pigeon, but upon closer inspection, it might actually be a white-winged or mourning dove. Whatever it is, Kellie's split-second reaction is pure gold.

Tennessee Congressman John Rose's son was ready for his close-up ... as you can see from this mega viral clip of him upstaging his dad on Capitol Hill.

Check out the clip -- 6-year-old Guy was bored outta his mind on Monday sitting behind dad as he spoke out against last week's hush money conviction of Donald Trump ... and resorts to making silly faces in full frame of the C-SPAN camera.

The little dude mischievously begins sticking out his tongue and dramatically rolling his eyes -- all made even more hilarious given the super serious nature of his dad's talk.

Dr. Phil is going to be interviewing Donald Trump pretty soon -- and he has a message he'll try to convey to the now-convicted ex-Prez ... forgive and forget, for the love of God.

The good doctor came on "TMZ Live" Monday, where he revealed he has a sit-down scheduled with DT in the near future -- for a special called "Trump Verdict: A Judicial Travesty" that's airing Thursday.

Phil tells us that as part of their convo, he'll be encouraging Trump to steer clear of playing tit for tat if he wins the election in November ... cause it could spell the end of the country as we know it.

Move over Donald Trump, it's now Hunter Biden's time to go to court.

President Joe Biden's son is on trial in Delaware, where federal prosecutors previously indicted Hunter on gun charges. Hunter showed up at a Wilmington courthouse bright and early Monday, and jury selection is currently underway.

The Bidens are making history here ... Hunter's trial is the first ever involving the child of a sitting president.

Alex Jones bawled his eyes out this weekend -- and in the same breath, he let out a scream straight from his bowels, all while claiming his show is on the verge of a shutdown.

Check it out ... Alex was doing an impromptu "Infowars" broadcast this weekend -- where he alleged the feds were attempting to raid and confiscate his studio in Austin, TX ... 'cause a day earlier, he said he learned cops were gonna padlock the door and kick him out.

Unclear where he's getting this info or what might be behind all this, but in any case ... he was airing out his frustrations on the show, with both a war cry and a full-blown sob fest.

Richard Dreyfuss' transphobic rant was seemingly premeditated -- 'cause the guy was at a store right before he hit the stage and was trying on dresses ... and we got the video.

TMZ has obtained surveillance footage from the end of May ... showing Richard being helped by a number of staffers at Worthy Girl Consignment in Beverly, MA -- where he later got onstage and made a number of controversial remarks, including against trans folks.

As you can see -- the employees are seen helping the Oscar winner as he tries on 5 different looks ... smiling and laughing with those in the store before finally picking one.

Pro-Palestine protesters faced off with marchers during Philadelphia's Pride Parade ... stopping the flow of the annual event -- and creating a pretty chaotic scene.

Video circulating on social media captures the moment the two groups met in the City of Brotherly Love ... with the LGBTQ+ walk halted in front of Pro-Palestinian individuals yelling out "Palestine will live forever! From the sea to the river!"

Drummers in the LGBTQ+ march are beating away on drums while protesters on the other side scream their chants ... and, a few people start getting testy, with one person seemingly held back from approaching the Palestine protesters.

10:46 AM PT -- Turns out Aaron didn't shade Donald Trump at UFC 302 Saturday night. Instead, it seems he got a little face time with the former prez -- posting a pic to IG where he's shaking his hand. So, seemingly no beef between them.

Aaron Rodgers seemed to diss Donald Trump in a very public way.

Aaron and Trump were both front and center Saturday night at UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey.

At one point Trump, who got a thunderous ovation, walked right past Aaron, who never got out of his seat and never acknowledged the ex-Prez.

Bill Maher did a pivot Friday night ... actually complimenting the pro-Hamas college protesters for believing in something that was bigger than themselves ... but then he lowered the boom, saying they missed the cause they should be embracing by a f***ing mile!

The 'Real Time' host made his pitch to the youngins ... the biggest social justice cause in decades has been apartheid. Nelson Mandela is a beacon of light for equality and dignity.

And that brings Bill to students supporting Hamas ... which denigrates women in ways much worse than second-class citizens. Bill ticks off a laundry list of indignities, starting with the mandatory hijab, which is prevalent in dozens of countries ... where women can't see, hear or speak out in the open air. It suppresses women from humanity ... and makes their souls shrivel.

Looks like WeHo Pride kicking off this weekend might be more tense than celebratory ... we've learned cops are gearing up for the worst amid recent global events.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... with the Pro-Palestine Rally going down in West Hollywood Saturday, coupled with anger from Donald Trump supporters over his recent conviction in the hush money case, cops are bracing for a rocky ride.

We're told there'll be uniformed deputies scattered all over the place, along with cops in plain clothes, and a heavy dose of surveillance.

Donald Trump's longtime friend Bernard Kerik has some thoughts on how he should serve his time if his guilty verdict lands him behind bars.

Kerik -- who served as Commissioner for the New York City Department of Correction as well as the NYPD commissioner -- tells TMZ segregating Trump in a prison facility isn't enough ... he needs his own facility for safety reasons.

BK -- who received a Presidential pardon from Trump in 2020 for numerous federal convictions -- explains Trump wouldn't be a high-risk inmate in terms of fighting guards, inmates, or attempting an escape -- instead, the environment around him would be high-risk.

"The View" hosts couldn't contain their excitement a day after Donald Trump was convicted -- especially Whoopi Goldberg ... who took her sweet time to rub it in on the air.

The actress-comedian -- who apparently hasn't used Trump's name on the show in years -- riled up the crowd at the end of the show ... when she repeated "guilty" 34 times in reference to all of DJT's convictions, for 34 seconds no less.

Watch ... WG promises fans a quick recap of the trial, before firing off the word "guilty" repeatedly. She's even forced to yell over the crowd ... 'cause they break out in applause.

Robert De Niro's latest round of Trump-bashing has cost him a new accolade -- 'cause an org says they're taking back what they planned to give him ... and they're citing his politics.

The actor was all set to receive an award next week in D.C. from the National Association of Broadcasters -- namely, the NAB Leadership Foundation's Service to America Award ... and it seems Bob's appearance in NYC this week pre-Trump conviction is the key issue here.

They say, "This event is proudly bipartisan, uniting those from across the political spectrum to celebrate the impactful work of local broadcasters and our partners."

Donald Trump hit the streets of New York City to decry his 34 felony convictions Friday ... or, at least a few people thought he did when a stellar impersonator pulled up to the sidewalk.

We got a bunch of Trump supporters out in NYC Friday ... including some who honed in on a limo bearing a fake presidential seal on the door -- with a man in a suit and MAGA hat inside waving at the assembled crowd. It might look like DT ... but it ain't the real McCoy.

Watch ... the limo's rolling past, and Faux Trump's waving at the onlookers and blowing kisses in their direction -- and, from a distance, he looks a lot like the embattled former president. He then pulls over to the side and clearly, it's not DJT.

Michelle Obama's mother, Marian Robinson, has died ... this according to the former First Lady.

The family broke the news together Friday, saying Marian passed away Friday morning -- with them adding ... "She passed peacefully this morning, and right now, none of us are quite sure how exactly we’ll move on without her."

Michelle herself issued some remarks as well, saying ... "My mom Marian Robinson was my rock, always there for whatever I needed. She was the same steady backstop for our entire family, and we are heartbroken to share she passed away today."

President Joe Biden was so pumped to celebrate the Chiefs' Super Bowl win at the White House on Friday ... he actually donned one of Kansas City's red helmets!!

POTUS was gifted the headgear just minutes after he praised the team for winning its second straight championship ... and when Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and the rest of the guys urged him to throw it on his dome -- he did just that!

The 81-year-old -- with help from head coach Andy Reid -- unbuckled the chinstraps ... and squeezed the protective gear over his noggin. He then put his hands up and motioned for Mahomes to throw him a pass.
