Billie Joe Armstrong protested Donald Trump at a recent concert of his -- but right-wingers feel he crossed the line ... 'cause he held up something that looked like a head.

Here's the deal ... the Green Day rocker was performing in D.C. this week, and while he was onstage -- somebody gave a full Trump mask to him, which had the word "IDIOT" scribbled across the forehead ... which is an homage to another mask BJA once donned back in the day.

Fans might remember this well ... during the Bush years, Billie did something incredibly similar -- rocking a Dubya mask with the same word. Now, it was Trump's turn ... and as we know, Billie ain't a big fan of DT.

Jennifer Aniston's fully leaning into the "childless cat lady" beef now with Sen. J.D. Vance ... letting him know she actually does have a baby, even if the love of her life isn't exactly flesh and blood.

The actress says her hair care company, LolaVie, is her offspring ... and the baby is all grow'd up, because the brand's products are now being sold inside Target stores.

Jennifer posted a video on social media beaming at the big accomplishment for LolaVie, while giving off proud parent vibes. See what she did there? Turned the feud into shameless promotion!

The new Secret Service director is giving as good as he gets ... firing back at at least one U.S. Senator grilling him over his agency's failures in protecting Donald Trump the day of the assassination attempt.

Acting Dir. Ronald Rowe went toe-to-toe with Sen. Josh Hawley Tuesday, and things got extremely heated when Hawley demanded to know who Rowe had fired over the security failures in Butler, PA.

At first, Rowe calmly explained that he was waiting for the results of the FBI investigation to determine next steps -- but when Hawley barked back that there were obvious failures because the "former president was shot" ... Rowe snapped.

Donald Trump's plan of attack for Vice President Kamala Harris is clear -- in addition to labeling her an extreme liberal, he's also calling out her "crazy laugh" ... yet, he's not committing to a debate.

The former president sat down Monday night with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, and unleashed a barrage of insults, calling his political rival "sort of incompetent" ... "not very smart" and "very radical."

As Trump put it ... voters should be concerned about Kamala as she's more extreme than Bernie Sanders. In an effort to drive that point home, he also made the unsubstantiated claim Harris plans to defund the police.

"White Dudes for Harris" has the ultimate "Dude" onboard to support Kamala Harris' presidential campaign -- yep, Jeff Bridges himself joined the hugely successful fundraising effort.

Alongside Jeff singing praises for the current veep -- who could become the first female U.S. President -- the 3-hour Zoom call had Josh Gad, Mark Ruffalo and Mark Hamill popping in, too ... and eventually they had a total of 180,000 on the call.

Appropriately sounding every bit like his iconic character, "The Dude" abided as Jeff gushed, "I'm white, I'm a dude, and I'm for Harris -- a woman President, man … how exciting!"

J.D. Vance’s "childless cat lady" comment wasn’t a one off … turns out the Republican VP nominee has history of saying offensive things about liberal-minded people, including calling them sociopaths.

CNN just published an article explaining that Vance sat for a November 2020 podcast interview during which he said people in our country's leadership class were "more sociopathic" than those with kids, which makes them "less mentally stable" – seemingly referring to women.

In the podcast, Vance also labeled commenters on X -- formerly Twitter -- as the "most deranged" and "most psychotic" because they're also typically childless, while insinuating they're members of the Democratic party.

Democratic big wigs are attempting to corral A-list celebs to show face at the Democratic National Convention -- and one person we know they've locked down is John Legend.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... John is all in for an appearance at the convention in Chicago in a few weeks -- and while we know he's going to be participating front and center ... it's still a little hazy on how exactly he'll contribute.

In other words ... we're not sure if he'll just be speaking, singing/performing or a mix of both. Considering his political history though -- you can probably expect a little bit of everything.

Lil Pump has taken issue with Kamala Harris identifying as Black -- falsely claiming she has no African heritage (which isn't true) ... all while again doubling down on Donald Trump.

The rapper followed in Swae Lee's footsteps over the weekend -- coming down hard on KH over race ... namely, floating the wild allegation that she "isn't Black." Instead, Pump insists she's only of Indian heritage ... even though a quick Google search disproves that.

Either way ... LP is deep in his delusion here -- he got interviewed about this topic and stuck to his guns about her race -- and also said she's incarcerated over 1500 people over weed-related offenses during her time as district attorney in San Francisco.

Jake Paul is doubling down on his support for Donald Trump -- squaring up with the former president at an event over the weekend ... and telling his millions of followers the country needs No. 45 back in the Oval Office now more than ever.

27-year-old Paul -- who has been increasingly outspoken on his political stance following the July 13 assassination attempt -- got some one-on-one time with Trump at the Bitcoin conference in Nashville ... and used the opportunity to playfully pretend like they were getting ready to scrap.

But there's certainly no beef between the two ... as Paul told his 26.7 million Instagram supporters to exercise their right to vote come election day -- but made it clear whose side he's on, and it ain't Kamala Harris'.

Donald Trump's Secret Service security detail was flush with women the day he was grazed by a bullet ... and one former agent says the brass was more interested in optics than security.

TMZ Studios has a new special, "TMZ Presents: Under Fire: The Trump Assassination Attempt," where we explore the many, stunning security failures that lead to the attempt on Trump's life at his fateful Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

Richard Staropoli, a top former Secret Service Special Agent, is strongly suggesting the women assigned to protect Trump that day should shoulder a lot of the blame.

In the blink of an eye, Vice President Kamala Harris became the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee -- and in that same amount of time, Etsy's been inundated with merch backing her, and mocking Donald Trump.

The KH gear covers all sorts of campaign season hot topics -- from labeling Trump a convicted felon, orange complexion jabs and the fact he sunk $6,000 into Harris' campaigns from 2011-2013.

There's also merch marking Kamala's chance to make history by becoming the first female U.S. prez ... very much like sentiments slapped on 2016 Hillary Clinton gear.

Swae Lee's not giving Kamala Harris her 'Sunflowers' ... telling his legion of fans not to vote for the vice president in November -- and, catching flak online for his views.

The Rae Sremmurd rapper took to X Sunday to vent his frustrations with VP Harris ... straight-up telling people to do more research on the Biden administration first before casting their ballot.

Lee also replied to a debate clip from when she ran for president before the 2020 election ... capturing Tulsi Gabbard tearing into her record as a prosecutor that's resurfaced since Joe Biden dropped out and endorsed her last week.

Donald Trump's security details didn't communicate with other law enforcement in the lead-up to the attempt on his life ... this, according to another law enforcement org.

Beaver County SWAT team members assigned to protect the former president during his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania earlier this month sat down for an interview with ABC News airing Monday morning.

In a small clip shared on Good Morning America Sunday, eight members of the SWAT team say they had no contact with the Secret Service prior to the shooting ... and, no way to contact the former president's detail either.

The Secret Service dropped the ball in spectacular fashion at Donald Trump's campaign rally where he was nearly killed by a would-be assassin ... so says a former USSS special agent.

TMZ Studios has a new special, "TMZ Presents: Under Fire: The Trump Assassination Attempt," where we explore the many, stunning security failures that lead to the attempt on Trump's life at a Butler, Pennsylvania rally.

Richard Staropoli, a former Secret Service Special Agent, doesn't mince words ... he says Trump's security detail totally failed him and left him inexplicably exposed to mortal danger.

Kamala Harris didn't make a new video appearance at Comic-Con Saturday despite reports ... with sources telling TMZ it's an old, resurfaced clip.

According to reports  ... 'Simpsons' creator Matt Groening introduced Harris' clip -- saying it came from a super fan -- at the end of the show's panel Saturday.

VP Harris apparently then appeared in the clip ... quoting a popular "Treehouse of Horror" -- the name for "The Simpsons" Halloween specials -- episode from years ago which centered around the 1996 election between then-Prez Bill Clinton and Republican nominee Bob Dole.

Donald Trump says this election is the last people will have to vote in if they elect him ... drawing side-eye from tons online who think he's promoting dictatorship.

The former president took the stage in West Palm Beach, Florida last night to speak to a ton of his supporters ... many of whom were apparently Christians -- 'cause DJT took time to address them directly during his speech.

He implores members of the religion to get out and vote, just for this election if they don't want to in the future ... 'cause he says elections will just be a formality moving forward.
