Pete Davidson just got court-ordered protection from the woman who falsely claimed they were married ... because she’s now been charged for allegedly showing up inside his NYC home.
According to new legal docs obtained by TMZ ... Pete was granted an order of protection against Michelle Mootreddy, who cops arrested Thursday at Pete's Staten Island crib. She's now been ordered to stay away from Pete and 3 other people who live in the home -- and she's barred from contacting them in any way and from showing up at the home or their jobs.
TMZ broke the story ... Mootreddy was nabbed by cops in Pete's house, with police saying she slipped inside through an open side door and took a seat at his kitchen table.
Mootreddy was arraigned Friday and is charged with burglary in the second and third degree, both felonies, as well as 2 misdemeanor counts of stalking, 2 misdemeanor counts of criminal trespass and harassment.
Remember, law enforcement says Mootreddy is the same person who blasted out a press release Tuesday falsely stating the 'SNL' star was launching a production company with her after they'd gotten married.
None of the above is true. Pete's reps told us he doesn't even know the woman.

7:51 PM PT -- An NYPD official tells us Mootreddy has been officially arrested and booked on charges of criminal trespass (misdemeanor), trespass (violation), 2 counts of stalking (misdemeanor), and harassment (violation).
The woman who told the world she married Pete Davidson -- even though she didn't -- showed up inside his NYC home ... according to cops.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Michelle Mootreddy is currently in police custody being questioned by detectives after she allegedly slipped inside Pete's Staten Island crib.
Our sources say Mootreddy walked into Pete's place through an open side door Thursday and sat down at the kitchen table. We're told one of Pete's relatives was home, and someone called 911. We're told Pete wasn't home at the time.
Law enforcement says Mootreddy is the same person who sent out a press release Tuesday stating the 'SNL' star was launching a production company with her and claimed they'd gotten hitched.
As we first reported, Pete's reps said he doesn't know the woman, he didn't start a production company and damn sure did NOT get married to her.
Pete's spokesperson declined to comment on Mootreddy's unwanted visit to his home.

Pete Davidson is NOT married, despite a news release stating he founded a production company with a longtime lady friend and got hitched.
Here's the deal ... a production company called Bodega Cats, claiming to be Pete's, sent out a press release Tuesday with a bombshell -- the 'SNL' star got hitched with a childhood friend.
The release said ... "Pete and Michelle were childhood friends prior to starting Bodega Cats Presents and are married." Say, what?!?
First thing first ... Pete's reps told us he didn't get married, and the press release was quickly yanked.
Additionally, sources close to Pete tell us he does NOT have a production company either, and he doesn't know the person who sent out the release.
Pete's attorney tells us, "We are investigating and considering all legal and equitable remedies."
As you know ... Pete's come close to marriage before. He had a real engagement to Ariana Grande, but they broke up before they could walk down the aisle.
He's also got a ton of famous exes like actresses Kate Beckinsale and Margaret Qualley, model Kaia Gerber and Larry David's daughter, Cazzie, but hasn't said "I Do" to anyone.

'SNL' Nick Tries Reassuring Kevin ... Yeah, We're Still a Band!!!
Nick Jonas hosted 'SNL' Saturday night, and someone in the audience had an urgent question whose answer could spell financial collapse ... and the questioner was Kevin.
Nick's bro fired off a question at his bandmate ... specifically, whether they were indeed still bandmates. In other words, Nick's releasing solo music, appearing solo on shows like 'SNL' ... so is this a soon-to-be Reelz episode of "Breaking the Band?"
Kevin has immediate needs after all ... he just bought a house, so he sounds a little cash-strapped.
Nick gave him some assurance they were not dunzo, but watch and judge for yourself.
Nick's new album, "Spaceman," is his first solo project since the family band reunited in 2019. The album will be released on March 12.

Don't count Jeff Ross among the people -- Jewish or otherwise -- outraged over Michael Che's joke about Israel on last week's 'SNL' ... he thinks Che should keep it up.
We got the "Roastmaster General" out in Bev Hills and asked for his take on the joke ... which many decried as anti-Semitic, but Jeff had another word for it -- "hilarious."
The comedian says people need to have thicker skin and just enjoy comedy ... which he describes as "essential business" after nearly a year of COVID lockdowns.
As for those who were offended by Che's joke, Jeff says Israel jokes aren't off-limits ... neither are jokes about our camera guy.
Ross also weighed in on the recent Mr. Potato Head news, and in classic Roastmaster fashion ... he used it to poke fun at a late comedy legend.
RIP, Don Rickles.

'SNL' Michael Che Called Out Over Jewish Joke Critics Blast Him for Anti-Semitism
12:55 PM PT -- The Conference of Presidents -- a coalition that speaks on behalf of several Jewish orgs, including the Anti-Defamation League -- put out a strong statement against Che's joke.

They say Israel's vaccination rollout is being distributed equitably, regardless of gender, race, or religion ... and their efforts have included Palestinians living in the area too. COP goes on to say that what Che did was piling on to anti-Semitic tropes, which they find deeply troubling.
"Saturday Night Live's" Michael Che is getting dragged for what some are calling an anti-Semitic joke.
Che was at the anchor desk for "Weekend Update" Saturday night, when he quipped that half the folks in Israel have already gotten the COVID vaccine, adding, "I'm going to guess it's the Jewish half."
True enough ... Israel's faced criticism for not yet inoculating around 100,000 Palestinians who work in Israel. That said, Che did not say the Israeli half was vaccinated ... he said the Jewish half. By saying that, he made it about religion, not the government.
Fact is ... Israel is inoculating Jews, Arabs and Christians. They were slow on the uptake with Palestinians, but they're correcting that.
Twitter went crazy after Che dropped the joke, calling him out, but he has yet to address it.

'SNL' Britney Takes on Cruz, Cuomo, Carano
The folks at "Saturday Night Live" clearly had a hard time figuring out what to lead with, so they decided to lead with everybody!!!
The opening skit was pretty hilarious ... talk show host "Britney Spears" interviews "Ted Cruz," "Gov. Andrew Cuomo" and "Gina Carano" ... all of whom were brought on the show to apologize for their misdeeds.
"Ted" is back from his cut-short vacay, clutching a fruity drink in one hand and his rollaway suitcase in the other.
What's really funny ... how "Cuomo" and "Carano" -- who have their own issues -- want nothing to do with Cruz.
The dancing interludes in between guests are pretty hilarious, as are the subtle signs Britney flashes regarding her own circumstances.
Pretty funny, 'SNL' folks.

Comedian Ted Alexandro Great Zillow Joke, 'SNL' ... Too Bad You Stole it from me!!!

'SNL' has a new sketch about how sexy Zillow listings really are -- but now ... they're being accused of ripping off the joke from a comedian.
Ted Alexandro has been railing on the writers from "Saturday Night Live" all day Sunday, claiming their now-viral skit -- which was all the rage Saturday -- is actually his own material ... which he performed live at the Comedy Cellar in none other than New York City.
Dear @SNL, since you stole my Zillow joke last night please Venmo me the sum of 1 million dollars. My full special Cut/Up is on youtube if you need more ideas. pic.twitter.com/lC3yBpcs1h
— Ted Alexandro (@tedalexandro) February 7, 2021 @tedalexandro
He writes, "Dear @SNL, since you stole my Zillow joke last night please Venmo me the sum of 1 million dollars. My full special Cut/Up is on youtube if you need more ideas." Ted added a mash-up of his original joke and the 'SNL' parody, which have familiar themes and beats.
The gist of the gag is that the older you get, the more certain aspects of adulthood start to appeal to you -- maybe even in a sexual sense. 'SNL' played up the whole "yeah sex is great" angle ... and turned Zillow browsing into a softcore fantasy porn ad of sorts.
Ted's original performance of the Zillow phenomenon ain't all that different -- but he makes it more about how he and his wife "sext" each other ... sending each other Zillow listings that are out of their price range to make one another hot and bothered. They're both funny ... but Ted's insisting he did it first, and seems to want either money and/or credit.
It's unclear when Ted first performed his Zillow joke, but it appeared in a compilation video he released with a bunch of his stand-up shows called "Ted Alexandro: CUT/UP" ... which got posted on YouTube in September. Looks like it might have surfaced well before that though.
You have until kickoff. Venmo: @Ted-Alexandro
— Ted Alexandro (@tedalexandro) February 7, 2021 @tedalexandro
Hard to tell just how upset Ted actually is -- he gave 'SNL' brass 'til kickoff to pay him his mil, and attached his Venmo handle for good measure. "Saturday Night Live" hasn't responded.

Dan Levy Mom Skewers Camp Bullies ... Before Son's 'SNL' Hosting Gig
Dan Levy’s mom got sweet revenge against the boys who bullied her son at summer camp ... with a little help from Lorne Michaels.
Deborah Devine celebrated her son's latest honor -- hosting 'SNL' -- with a pre-show tweet ... "This goes out to the bully punks at Camp WTF who made life miserable for a certain cabin-mate back in the summer of '96 -- just because he was different."
And then, Deb lowers the boom ... "Well, after all these years I have just 7 words to say to you: 'Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!'" BOOM!!!
Dan, who's gay both in real life and on his uber-award-winning show "Schitt's Creek," hosted 'SNL' for the first time.
He opened with this ... "I'm so honored to be hosting 'Saturday Night Live.' Somewhere my 13-year-old self has fainted in a really melodramatic way."
Dan's dad, Eugene, was actually the first Levy to appear on 'SNL' alongside John Candy way back in 1985.
Take that, camp bullies.

Kevin Nealon's a victim in a home burglary that saw crooks get away clean with six figures worth of jewelry and other valuables.
The thieves broke into the "Weeds" and 'SNL' alum's place recently ... according to law enforcement sources, who tell us it looks like Kevin had been away for a few days.
We're told Kevin came home to discover the break-in, and that more than $100,000 worth of bling and handbags were gone.
Our sources say it doesn't appear the burglars specifically targeted Kevin ... and this was more likely a random hit. Cops still don't know exactly how the perpetrators managed to get inside the house.
We reached out to Kevin's camp ... so far, no word back.

Pete Davidson Ripped by Staten Island Locals ... For Defiant Bar Jokes on 'SNL'
Pete Davidson making fun of a bar in his hometown and its stance against COVID restrictions is pissing off a lot of the locals, and they're blasting him for it.
A Staten Island activist named Mr. Tobacco tore the 'SNL' star a new one Monday during a news conference over the watering hole called Mac's Public House -- which has been in the news a lot lately for defying COVID closures.
ICYMI ... one of Mac's co-owners, Danny Presti, was arrested AGAIN this weekend after he allegedly let people inside (against a closure order). Tobacco and co. were addressing that when he referred to Pete's 'Weekend Update' appearance, where he criticized the Staten Island community and Mac's owners for acting like babies.

Welp, Mr. Tobacco says Pete's words are a betrayal, considering people in town know him and his fam. He got very personal and even referenced Pete's father ... a firefighter who died on 9/11 in the Twin Towers.
You'll have to watch the video to see how he frames it ... but it's pretty clear that Tobacco and some of the other Mac members were hurt by Pete, who Tobacco calls someone with a huge platform putting the little guy down.
Mr. Tobacco also evokes Pete's nickname -- the King of Staten Island, which was turned into a Judd Apatow movie starring Pete.

'SNL' Morgan Wallen Mocks Himself for COVID-Unsafe Partying
This is kinda cool ... 'SNL' did its own PSA about COVID, and it's funny and at the same time instructive ... thanks to country star Morgan Wallen and Jason Bateman.
As we reported, Morgan was yanked from the show in October because he violated COVID restrictions by partying in a bar at the University of Alabama.
Well, Lorne Michaels gave Morgan a second chance, but not without strings attached. Morgan was the star and subject of a parody at a bar. He was tempted to party for sure, until the Morgan of the future -- AKA Jason Bateman -- comes along to warn him there are consequences.
"I am you from the future and I came here to stop you from partying tonight," Bateman said in the sketch. "Trust me somebody's gonna post a video of you ignoring COVID protocols, the whole internet's gonna freak out ... Once people hear about the party, you're in big trouble, man, you're gonna get kicked off 'Saturday Night Live.'"
Temptation prevails and both guys are down for a little partying. You gotta see how it unfolds, especially when Pete Davidson surfaces.
We got Morgan out in NYC last Friday and he was clear ... the skit is just that -- a skit -- and he wouldn't be partying before his second chance.

Morgan Wallen 'I Ain't Leaving This Damn Hotel' ... Well, Just This Once!!!

Exclusive

Morgan Wallen has a plan to make sure he's not booted from his second crack at 'SNL' ... but his strategy already has some gaping holes of his own doing.
We got the country music star in New York City Friday and our photog asked him how he's planning to stay COVID safe ahead of his big 'SNL' performance.
Morgan tells us he "ain't leaving the damn hotel" ... as he's literally walking out of said hotel.
As you know ... Morgan is getting a second chance at 'SNL' 2 months after the show axed him from an earlier, planned gig. He got the boot after he was seen taking shots in a crowded bar and kissing women during some maskless partying down in Alabama. Y'know, stuff that's NOT COVID safe.
Morgan's thanking the Lord for another shot -- at 'SNL,' not the bar -- and says he'll do things differently this time. As for leaving the hotel, maybe he's going to 30 Rock for rehearsals.
Good on Morgan for wearing a face-covering as he climbs into a waiting SUV with his masked-up team.
The show should be pretty funny, with host Jason Bateman already in fine form.
Hopefully, he went straight to NBC studios ... with no pit stops for broads and booze.

John Mulaney Secret Service Agents Were On Me For 'SNL' Trump Joke!!!
John Mulaney's "Saturday Night Live" joke about how Julius Caesar was killed drew the ire of some Donald Trump supporters, but even crazier ... he says it made him the target of a Secret Service investigation.
The comedian's 'SNL' monologue from February included the fact Caesar started leap year to correct the calendar, but then he joked the Roman general was such a "powerful maniac" that a bunch of senators stabbed him to death.
Mulaney then added ... it would be interesting if we brought that back now.
Though he made no mention of Trump, the joke was enough for right-wing sites to call him out for allegedly insinuating a violent act should be done to POTUS ... and Mulaney says the Secret Service contacted him about it.
Mulaney says the agent who questioned him was respectful and quickly determined his joke was harmless and he was not a threat ... but nevertheless, the comedian says he now has an official Secret Service file opened on him.
Go ahead and watch the joke for yourself ... sounds like even John sensed he might be crossing the line.

Morgan Wallen Gets 2nd Chance as 'SNL' Musical Guest

Country music star Morgan Wallen will be grateful for second chances this Thanksgiving -- he'll be the musical guest on "Saturday Night Live," 2 months after the show axed him.
'SNL' announced it Wednesday, saying Morgan will perform on the December 5 show ... with Jason Bateman hosting. Moments after the news ... Morgan was keeping things pretty humble, and simply tweeted, "Let's try this again."
Remember ... Morgan was scheduled to be the musical guest back in October, but got booted from the gig after he was seen at a bar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama taking shots, kissing women and generally partying without a face mask or social distancing.
Morgan ultimately apologized for his irresponsible behavior and admitted his actions were "short-sighted." He had also said 'SNL' honcho Lorne Michaels was kind and encouraging and told him they could possibly have him on in the future. The future is next weekend.
The good news for Morgan comes a little over 2 weeks after he openly complained about not being able to do live shows, and called Joe Biden supporters hypocritical for packing streets to celebrate his victory amid the pandemic. He clearly felt there was a double standard.
That being said, it's a good bet we won't see Morgan in any crowded bars between now and his 'SNL' gig.

'SNL' Hilarious Spoof of Election ... Carrey, Rudolph & Baldwin Mock Trump Defeat
'SNL' was hilarious Saturday night, as Jim Carrey (Biden), Maya Rudolph (Harris) and Alec Baldwin (Trump) mimicked the candidates, but the most puzzling part ... how did the show find the real-life wardrobe so damn fast!!!
The open began with an exhausted Wolf Blitzer throwing to a mangled John King ... both of whom clearly got very little sleep for the week following election day.
Carrey was hysterical ... saying the wait was like having sex with Sting -- but, as he said, what a release!!!
Maya Rudolph has nailed Kamala Harris' speech patterns, but how on earth did 'SNL' find a replica of the Veep-elect in a New York minute?
And, of course, Alec Baldwin nailed Trump. You gotta see his version of "Macho Man." Wow, the Village People were the winners in this race.
And then, there's the victory lap ... well, Carrey and Rudolph couldn't resist.
