You Might Want to Rethink

Donald Trump clearly isn't afraid of Swifties ... expressing a fearless stance on Taylor Swift's physical appearance and political beliefs -- which seem to have the guy conflicted.

The ex-Prez discussed the pop star with Variety Co-Editor-in-Chief Ramin Setoodeh for his new book, "Apprentice in Wonderland: How Donald Trump and Mark Burnett Took America Through the Looking Glass" -- and DT had nothing but kind words ... for Taylor's looks.

In the interview, which took place in November, Trump noted ... "I think she’s beautiful -- very beautiful! I find her very beautiful. I think she’s liberal. She probably doesn’t like Trump. I hear she’s very talented. I think she’s very beautiful, actually -- unusually beautiful!"

Three soccer fans were sentenced to eight months in prison for racially abusing Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. during a game ... with each getting the punishment for their role in a May 2023 incident.

It all stems from chants hurled toward the Brazilian forward during Real Madrid's match against Valencia at Mestalla Stadium ... which prompted Vini Jr. to call out one of the spectators in the crowd, resulting in a 10-minute delay as officials addressed the issue.

The racist remarks led the club to file a hate-crime complaint ... and three fans were later arrested for their actions.

George Lopez used baseball rules at his recent comedy show ... giving his fans three warnings to stop interrupting before storming offstage -- in new footage obtained by TMZ.

The new clips show the comedian at Eagle Mountain Casino Friday night in the middle of a marijuana bit when the ruckus kicks off ... upsetting George who's clearly trying to get through his set.

Watch the clip ... it's all going fine until a fan yells out something that isn't just a cheer ... though it doesn't necessarily sound like heckling. GL's frustration shines through and he ominously says, "That's one."

Will Smith's star power's reinvigorated the summer box office ... 'cause his newest 'Bad Boys' flick cleaned up in its opening weekend and made him a box office darling once again.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" is projected to make $56 million domestically when all's said and done -- higher than the previous estimate of $53 million.

BTW ... international box office totals have eclipsed $48.6 million -- cracking the $100 million total globally.

Danny O'Donoghue says a night out with Tom Jones ended with him in the hospital ... 'cause he couldn't keep up with the legendary crooner -- despite being 40 years younger!!!

The singer -- best known as the front man of The Script -- says he once tried to go drink-for-drink with Jones while they both starred on the UK version of "The Voice" in the early 2010s.

O'Donoghue says he and Sir Tom hit a hotel in Manchester one night and started drinking champagne around midnight -- and, they didn't stop until around 6 AM.

Ian McKellen's got a morbid standard for the parts he takes ... picturing his legacy if the next role happened to be his last -- and, admitting there's one film he'd do in a heartbeat.

The actor -- who turned 85 last month -- sat down for an interview with "The Sunday Times" and revealed whenever a script comes in he considers it like it may be the last part he ever plays.

He says those stakes make him turn down many projects ... and push him to be his best version on stage or screen -- 'cause he may not get another shot at it.

Caitlin Clark will not be a part of the Team USA squad that goes for a record 8th-straight gold medal at the Summer Olympics in Paris, and basketball fans are puzzled by the move!

According to multiple reports, 22-year-old Clark, the most famous female hooper in the world, was not named to the 12-player squad ... which will represent America in France next month.

An official announcement has not yet been made, but the team is made up of a mix of veterans and first-time Olympians. But, no Clark.

2:00 PM PT -- George Lopez's team has responded to the claims, placing the blame at the feet of Eagle Mountain Casino in a statement to TMZ, saying, "It’s the venue or casino’s job to provide a good experience for both the artist and the fans, but the casino failed in this regard. The audience was overserved and unruly, and the casino staff was unable to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for the artist and guests."

"George’s personal security team worked with the venue security staff to maintain order, ensure safety, and eject disruptive individuals. Unfortunately, the casino security team was not adequate to accomplish this task. George is not obligated to perform in an unsafe environment. He feels badly that those who came to see the show were unable to do so as a result.”

George Lopez is catching some flak online for allegedly walking out of his most recent gig early ... and not just from pissed-off fans, but from the venue too!

Former "Supermarket Sweep" host David Ruprecht is weighing in on the viral shopping cart debate ... which was sparked after one mom declared she always leaves her cart in the middle of the parking lot.

David tells TMZ ... he is well aware of the ongoing debate, noting he finds it hilarious -- albeit a little silly. Still, he finds himself relating with the original poster, Dr. Leslie Dobson, who said she doesn't bring her carts back to the store or the corral over concern for her kids' safety.

David admits he's guilty of abandoning a cart in the middle of a parking lot on occasion ... especially if the cart roundup is too far away. Plenty of social media users have expressed similar sentiments... with several people admitting they do the exact same thing.

Jason Kelce's dirty dogs are "reeking" havoc -- with everyone from football fans to A-list actors like Will Smith commenting on the football star's revelation -- but now a local foot care company has offered a care package to keep his feet fresh.

That's what Defense Soap's CEO Guy Sako told TMZ Sports after he saw the future Hall of Famer confess he doesn't wash his feet. Proof it might be a Kelce fam thing ... his brother, Travis, revealed he also doesn't wash 'em all the time.

Enter Sako's company -- which produces antifungal medicated soaps -- based in Cleveland (near where Jason and Travis are from) ... and he refuses to let his Ohio heroes go out like that.

Lana Del Rey was in no mood to be followed around in Europe -- confronting some folks who got on her nerves ... and even trying to snatch a phone from someone filming her.

The singer's very public freakout played out on the streets of Paris Friday, where she got into a heated exchange with a group of people she claimed were following her around on her only day off.

Ya gotta see the video ... Lana spins around on the sidewalk and confronts at least one person, yelling ... "You followed me with my family! Get away from me! Don't follow me!"

Drew Barrymore says she rang in one of her birthdays at a nightclub -- an absolutely wild tale, because she was a little kid at the time ... further proving her infamous childhood was anything but ordinary.

She dropped this news on her talk show as she grilled Bobby Cannavale about odd jobs he worked before fame -- and, as it turns out, he once manned the door at the NYC club Limelight, where Drew had partied hard for her birthday in 1985 ... when she turned 10!!!

Barrymore was in disbelief ... saying, "Limelight? I had my 10th birthday bash there! By then, I was already a club connoisseur -- Studio 54, Limelight, Nell's ... I'd done it all!"

A Spanish racewalker learned the hard way not to hot dog before crossing the finish line ... 'cause she was too busy celebrating to realize she was getting passed -- and ended up missing out on securing a medal!!

Or so she thought.

A Boeing jet nearly caught fire in mid-air ... with new footage showing the massive craft shooting flames from its wing in the middle of takeoff.

Martin Lawrence and Will Smith clearly aren't down with Jason Kelce's shower habits ... 'cause the "Bad Boys" duo couldn't contain their disgust when discussing the NFL legend's "nasty ass feet."

The two actors addressed Kelce's recent revelation on "7 PM in Brooklyn" with Carmelo Anthony and The Kid Mero ... during a segment called "F***in' Wit It or F*** Outta Here," when guests give their approval or a big thumb's down on certain pop culture topics.

Smith immediately let out a grunt as soon as Mero asked about Kelce's viral stance ... and Lawrence followed up with his own hilarious reaction.

It's not every day one gets to interview a football legend like Vince Young, so when a Golf Channel reporter saw her chance, she took it ... but there was just one problem -- it wasn't him!

The cringeworthy confusion all went down on Thursday at the BMW Charity Pro-Am in South Carolina ... when Lauren Withrow thought she had grabbed VY out on the course -- but instead, nabbed an assistant football coach.

Check out the video, she confidently spoke to him as if he were the former Univ. of Texas superstar quarterback ... and asked him about his golf game.
