@sportingnews
President Trump was met with a LOT of noise at the college football National Championship game on Monday ... and from what we heard on the broadcast, it sounded mostly positive. There were some boos, too.
Trump waved to the crowd and had a big smile on his face at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta -- flanked by military personnel. He stayed on the field through the National Anthem.
Remember, both Alabama and Georgia were Trump states in the 2016 election.
One other thing ... Kendrick Lamar is set to perform for the halftime show. It'll be interesting to see if the rapper -- who's a huge Trump critic -- says anything to ruffle feathers.

Senator Elizabeth Warren Sidesteps Questions About Oprah 2020 Presidential Run
Senator Elizabeth Warren loves Oprah Winfrey for sure, but it's apparent she's not ready to throw her support behind O for a 2020 Presidential run.
We got the Massachusetts Senator Monday at Reagan National Airport in D.C. and gave her several openings to echo the sentiment held by a number of people after Oprah's historic Golden Globes speech, but she wouldn't go there.
She was more direct on the subject of the current President, saying Trump has no one to blame but himself for books like 'Fire and Fury,' because his own words give credibility to Michael Wolff's claims.

Michael Rapaport to Donald Trump I Created 'Sloppy' Steve Bannon!!!
Michael Rapaport says Donald Trump ripped off his idea for "Sloppy Steve Bannon," claiming he came up with the nickname a year ago ... and he's got the proof.
Mike posted a video Sunday in which he slams Trump for allegedly stealing his OG adjective for the former White House Chief Strategist, saying he coined the name "Sloppy Steve" a good 300-something days before 45 started throwing it around this week.
He tells Trump, whom he calls "d*** stain Donald," that he's already talking to his real "Jew lawyers" -- unlike Roy Moore's wife's own attorney -- to see if he's got a copyright infringement case against the Prez.
Clearly he's joking here ... but it's still funny.

Chuck Zito Sick of H'wood Witch Hunt And Just Try Me, Trump Haters!!!
Chuck Zito's letting his shirt do the talking when it comes to pledging allegiance to President Trump ... but he's also got a mouth on him and probably a fist, too.
The former "Oz" star, and real life badass, was in Bev Hills Thursday when we asked about Trump's sexual misconduct accusers -- his shirt led us down the path -- and Chuck went off.
First, he called the wave of allegations in Hollywood a "witch hunt" that was hurting his close friends. When he addressed Trump's accusers, his response was pretty much ... see my shirt.
But a bit more menacing. Basically, Chuck's begging haters to make a move.
BTW, his shirt's missing an apostrophe, but we're not about to tell him.

Henry Winkler This Trump, Bannon Book Beef Means Unhappy Days for All of U.S.
Henry Winkler's no fan of President Trump, but he's not celebrating Trump's new war with adviser-turned-enemy, Steve Bannon ... instead, he's gravely concerned about it.
We got the Fonz at LAX Wednesday, and asked what he thought of the legal jockeying and mudslinging over Bannon's remarks in Michael Wolff's book, 'Fire and Fury.' He thinks the former allies are playing games, but the only people they're actually hurting are American citizens.
Of course, Trump failed to block the book, and its explosive allegations, from hitting bookshelves Friday.
Henry pointed out, even 45 can't stop the First Amendment ... and added Trump's antics have now crossed a dangerous line.

LeAnn Rimes' Stepsons Ivanka's an 'Idiot' Not Presidential Material
LeAnn Rimes took the fifth when our photog asked about Ivanka Trump's alleged aspirations to become the first female president ... while her stepsons unleashed their own brand of fire and fury.
We got LeAnn, hubby Eddie Cibrian and his 2 kids leaving Staples Center Wednesday night when our guy asked her about a passage in Michael Wolff's new book, 'Fire and Fury,' in which he claims Ivanka flirted with the idea of running for the office currently held by her dad.
LeAnn is mum but her stepsons make their disdain crystal clear.
The White House says the book is garbage -- packed with lies -- and they're trying to get it yanked.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren to Prez Careful What Ya Take Credit For, Donny!
Sen. Elizabeth Warren has no problem with President Trump gloating about the safest year in commercial aviation happening on his watch, but there's a BIG but attached.
The Senator had just flown into D.C.'s Reagan National Airport Wednesday when we got her take on Trump bragging there were zero aviation deaths last year on commercial flights. Trump's nemesis has never been shy about firing back at him, but this time she played it cool.
But like ... the kinda cool that feels like a setup. What she eventually said plays more like a warning to Trump than praise for him.
Since taking office I have been very strict on Commercial Aviation. Good news - it was just reported that there were Zero deaths in 2017, the best and safest year on record!
@realDonaldTrump
As for Meryl Streep calling out Melania and Ivanka Trump for keeping silent on the President's alleged sexual misconduct -- Warren sounds like she's team Meryl. No shocker.

Donald Trump Steve Bannon Has 'Lost His Mind' ... For Treason Quote
Donald Trump has completely turned on Steve Bannon -- saying the guy has lost his mind ... this after Bannon called a meeting the President's son took with Russians "treason."
Bannon was quoted by author Michael Wolff in a sweeping new book detailing the alleged chaos from Trump's first year in office as saying Don Jr.'s meeting in 2016 was treasonous.
Trump responded Wednesday in an official statement saying ... "Steve Bannon has nothing to do with me or my Presidency. When he was fired, he not only lost his job, he lost his mind."
The Prez goes on to say that Bannon had little to do with his historic victory, and that while Bannon claims to be at war with the media ... he often leaked from the White House.
Trump says Bannon helped people -- presumably Wolff -- write phony books with his insights, which Trump says were actually limited.
Welp ... looks like that bridge is burned.

'The Voice' Lawsuit You Booted Me ... Even Though Michelle Obama Invited Me
A guy who says Michelle Obama invited him to a taping of "The Voice" is suing NBC after claiming the network treated him like a criminal, and now he struggles to find work.
Greg Duncan says The Office of the First Lady back in 2016 invited him to a taping honoring military veterans. He says he went through 2 security screens and an agent from the U.S. Secret Service told him to enjoy the show.
But in docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Duncan says he was later approached by NBC's security and Sheriffs and told to scram. He says no explanation was given and only that the Secret Service ordered him gone.
Duncan says he had a meeting set for June 17, 2016 with the Secret Service to get the low-down on why he was booted. Problem is ... Duncan, who says he's a commander with the U.S. Coast Guard, says he showed up to NBC's lot the day before for a commercial shoot but was told he's permanently banned.
Duncan says he was told he resembled a "lookout" for a group that got a hold of wristbands to gain unauthorized admission. Duncan says NBC got the wrong guy and NBC's ban has hurt his ability to get a job. He's suing for unspecified damages. We've reached out to NBC, so far no word back.

Sarah Silverman Torn Up Over Franken ... He's Kissy, But At Least He Admits It
Sarah Silverman is sad Sen. Al Franken was forced to resign, and pissed President Trump hasn't had the decency to do the same.
We got Sarah at LAX Monday and asked her about her old pal who officially stepped down Tuesday after announcing he'd do so in December. She wanted to defend him, and tried her best ... but in the end said we have to respect the women who've accused Franken of sexual misconduct.
Sarah insists she's only seen a much different side of Franken ... albeit a kissy one. Still, she gives Franken credit for handling his scandal better than Trump.

Michelle Obama Yoga With Malia In The Aloha State
Michelle Obama and daughter Malia got some extra R&R during their Hawaiian vacation by hitting up a local yoga studio.
The former First Lady Wednesday was spotted at Corepower Yoga in Kailua, Hawaii where the Obamas have been vacationing for the holidays. Michelle looks incredibly fit -- as usual -- and visibly happy. That million dollar smile says it all.
Although Malia joined her mom... there was no sign of Barack or Sasha. As for the family as a whole, splitting your time between yoga classes and the beach doesn't seem all that bad.
Namaste!

Prince Harry Grills Obama Aretha vs. Tina, LeBron vs. Jordan
Prince Harry did what American journalists have been itching to do for a year ... interview President Barack Obama post presidency.
Harry was guest hosting the "Today" radio show Wednesday and played his interview with Obama, part of which was a lightning round of pretty funny questions, including ...
-- Boxers or briefs
-- Harry or William
-- "Suits" or "The Good Wife"
-- The Rock or Chris Rock (again, interesting)
The interview was recorded in September during the Invictus Games when the 2 became buds.
Obama also talked about the dangers of a president hopping on social media ... he didn't mention Trump by name, but it was pretty obvious.
Harry also said his fiancee, Meghan Markle, had a great Xmas at Buckingham Palace with a family she never had.

Senator Orrin Hatch is sticking to the story he told earlier this week -- that Donald Trump could be the greatest Prez ever -- and now he's even doubling down on that.
We got the Utah senator on Capitol Hill Thursday, the day after Trump and nearly all congressional Republicans did a victory lap for the new tax bill.
Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch: "This President hasn't even been in office for even a year and look at all the things that he's been able to get done" https://t.co/rdcEK1T7Kc

During the celebration, Hatch said Trump could possibly be at the helm of the greatest presidency in American history. So, we followed up ... and this time, he says theres some BIG names that 45 can match.
As for HOW he gets that done? Let's just say, OH was short on details.

Sen. Cory Booker GOP Tax Plan's Like a 'Sledgehammer to the Kneecaps'
Senator Cory Booker's not hiding his disdain for the GOP tax bill, which he says just pulled a Tonya Harding on America, and especially his home state.
We got the distinguished gentleman from NJ on Capitol Hill shortly after the House gave final approval to President Trump's tax overhaul -- and he says this vote wasn't about politics. He says even Republicans from his state voted against the bill.
You can tell Booker's genuinely pissed about the "bad bill" ... so much he's ready to cancel Christmas. Seriously.
