Garcelle Beauvais is encouraging people to get out and vote in the upcoming Presidential election ... with the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star singling out Black men in particular.

We caught up with the actress outside Craig's on Thursday evening, where GB had only one thing on her mind ... rallying voters for Kamala Harris ahead of November 5.

As Garcelle put it ... this election is "risky," as it's currently too close between Vice President Harris and former president Donald Trump.

"I'm supporting the president that's going to be the most pro-life president."

That's Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker throwing his weight behind Donald Trump ... while at a campaign event in Missouri, for U.S. Senator Josh Hawley, a buddy of the 3x Super Bowl champion.

"The [Pro-life] topic is the most crucial topic for me," 29-year-old Butker said during an appearance on FOX News' "The Ingraham Angle" on Thursday.

Donald Trump isn't going to Aurora, Colorado to stoke tension between Americans and undocumented immigrants ... he's going to bring more awareness to gangs reportedly taking over buildings there -- according to one city councilmember, that is.

We spoke with Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky -- the woman who originally leaked the shocking video of alleged members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua forcing their way into an apartment with guns -- about Trump's scheduled rally in the city Friday.

The rally is garnering controversy 'cause many feel the former POTUS will use it to stoke trouble for immigrant communities in the area. The Denver-metro city's mayor Mike Coffman even came out and said his city of 400,000 ain't a "war zone," as Trump's campaign has called it.

Jimmy Kimmel enjoys needling Donald Trump over his defects ... especially those of an alleged smelly nature that may have come out his rear end.

The host of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" devoted a portion of his show's monologue Thursday night to the Republican presidential nominee's alleged gas emissions while speaking onstage to a crowd during a campaign speech in Detroit, Michigan.

Kimmel first attacked Trump's theory that schools are changing boys into girls with sex change operations ... pointing out it's an utter lie, and there are more important issues for Americans to worry about.

Barack Obama is going below the belt when it comes to Donald Trump ... joking that his successor is wearing diapers beneath his suits.

The former president is hitting the campaign trail and stumping for Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, which figures to once again be a crucial swing state in the 2024 election, and he poked fun at Trump at a rally Thursday night in Pittsburgh.

Obama was talking about Harris wanting to make it easier for parents to afford everything they need to raise kids, including diapers ... and he recalled for the first time he went to a store to buy diapers back in the day, and asked the crowd if they thought Trump ever changed a diaper.

Jemele Hill says athletes speaking out about important issues wasn't a problem for centuries in the U.S. -- but when Black athletes started using their platform to talk politics, everything changed.

The veteran sports journalist and activist joined us Thursday on "TMZ Live" ... and, she tells us even George Washington used sports to talk politics when he was running for office -- plying guests with alcohol and playing competitive games to win their votes.

Hill says that's just one interesting anecdote she digs into for the first episode of her new podcast "Spolitics" -- and adds, famous athletes are still just citizens, so they've got every right to speak their minds about how they're voting.

Donald Trump's adding a new member to the family soon ... announcing he's about to be a grandfather for the 11th time -- 'cause his daughter, Tiffany, is pregnant!

The former POTUS let the news slip during a speech to the Detroit Economic Club Thursday afternoon while he was complimenting his daughter's father-in-law, Massad Boulos.

DJT said Boulos "happens to be the father of Tiffany’s husband, Michael, who’s a very exceptional young guy. And, she’s an exceptional young woman. And, she’s going to have a baby. So that’s nice.”

Donald Trump is getting trolled by the film he fought tooth and nail to prevent from being released ... and marketers for the flick are rubbing it in his face at one of his rallies.

Trump held an event Wednesday in Reading, Pennsylvania ... and midway through, the people behind "The Apprentice" pulled a publicity stunt that likely pissed him off.

A plane flew over the crowd ... with a banner reading, "TRUMP, GO SEE THE APPRENTICE FRIDAY."

Ethel Kennedy, the widow of Robert F. Kennedy Sr., is dead.

Ethel died Thursday morning as a result of complications related to the stroke she suffered last week ... the famous family just announced.

As we reported ... Ethel had been hospitalized after suffering a stroke in her sleep.

Jennifer Lopez is breaking her silence on her split from Ben Affleck, Kamala Harris is cracking open a cold one on TV and Dak Prescott is remodeling ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Harvey and Charles explain why J Lo feels her "whole world exploded" when her marriage to Ben ended in divorce.

A cast of Donald Trump's head was recently used as an unconventional soccer ball ... all in the name of art.

Check it out ... what appears to be a rubber or latex object shaped like 45's dome was kicked around at an exhibit at Superchief Gallery in Los Angeles last weekend. As you can see, participants dribbled and booted the facsimile of the former president's noggin in an indoor game.

The controversial art installation comes from the activist art collective INDECLINE ... best known for creating the jaw-dropping naked Trump statue that "Ghost Adventures" star Zak Bagans bought for a whopping $28K.

Travis Barker's daughter says she's not educated enough on the issues to cast a ballot this year ... and, she doesn't have the interest in politics to try to figure it out.

Alabama Barker -- TB's 18-year-old daughter, who he shares with Shanna Moakler -- took to Instagram Live Thursday to tell her followers she doesn't plan to vote in the November election.

Basically, Alabama says she's not educated on the issues ... and, even though she has some opinions on politics, she doesn't know enough to feel comfortable hopping in a voting booth next month.

Donald Trump says he's got some Pinocchio in him ... saying he's "basically a truthful person" during a podcast interview -- and, the statement had one podcast host laughing in his face.

The 45th POTUS stopped by "Andrew Schulz's Flagrant with Akaash Singh" podcast ... and, he launched into a discussion of the ads his presidential opponent Kamala Harris is running -- saying they're full of falsehoods about him.

The smashed-up Taylor Swift guitar has found a new home ... because someone bought the controversial item on eBay.

According to the e-commerce site, someone scooped up the guitar -- which was featured in a viral video at the end of September -- on Tuesday evening for a whopping $6,550 ... even amid doubts about the guitar's authenticity.

As TMZ previously reported ... Gary Estes, a Texas resident, spent $4,000 at a charity auction on a guitar advertised as bearing a Taylor Swift signature on it. Upon receiving the guitar at the auction, Gary was also handed a hammer ... and proceeded to smash it up.

Kamala Harris on Tuesday night leaned into the old adage that you want to elect someone you can have a beer with -- and she did exactly that with Stephen Colbert.

The Vice President sat down with Colbert on "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" and the two discussed her campaign to become the next president of the United States with under a month left in her race against the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.

Colbert kicked things off, pointing out that ever since Kamala named Tim Walz as her VP pick everyone has been calling it the "vibe election."

The mayor of Aurora, Colorado is pushing back on Donald Trump ahead of the former president's campaign rally in town ... saying Trump's assessment of immigration issues in the city is way overblown.

Trump's campaign called Aurora a "war zone" in a Tuesday statement announcing Friday's rally ... claiming an influx of migrants is bringing chaos and fear to the city, with a Venezuelan gang terrorizing apartment complexes and forcing locals to flee their homes.

The campaign announcement makes it sound like Trump's going to keep fanning the flames and paint Aurora as a once-promising city besieged by dangerous migrants ... but the town's top elected official says, not so fast.

Mike Coffman, Aurora's Republican Mayor, said in a statement ... "The reality is that the concerns about Venezuelan gang activity have been grossly exaggerated."

Viral videos from back in August showing armed gang members allegedly taking over entire apartment complexes in Aurora -- part of the Denver metro area -- became a big talking point during the Trump campaign ... but Coffman says the situation is not as dire as Trump makes it seem.

Coffman says, "The incidents were limited to several apartment complexes in this city of more than 400,000 residents."

Despite the fact check, Coffman is welcoming Trump with open arms, and Coffman wants to use the visit as "an opportunity to show him and the nation that Aurora is a considerably safe city -- not a city overrun by Venezuelan gangs."

A source tells TMZ ... Coffman's office has NOT had contact with Trump's camp yet, but the Mayor's offer to show Trump around town and give DT a police briefing still stands. For the moment ... the only coordinating has been for security.

Mayor Coffman has no plans to attend the rally, we're told.
