Village People Singer No Longer Opposing Trump's Use of 'YMCA' ... It's Good for Business!!!

Village People frontman Victor Willis is no longer speaking out against Donald Trump using the song "Y.M.C.A." at DT's rallies ... admitting he's benefiting greatly from the publicity.

After the former prez danced for 40 minutes to a variety of songs, including the Village People's anthem, during his Pennsylvania town hall Monday evening, Victor issued a formal response ... in which he lamented 45's frequent use of the song ... but confessed there's not much he can do about it.

As he put it ... Trump is legally allowed to play "Y.M.C.A" at his events, since he previously applied for a political use license from Victor's performing-rights organization, BMI.

Al Pacino 'The Godfather' Bosses Thought I Sucked ... Nearly Gave Me The Boot!!!

"The Godfather" could have turned out to be a completely different flick, because it turns out Al Pacino was very nearly given the axe from his iconic portrayal of Michael Corleone!

The role eventually landed Al an Oscar nom, so it’s wild to think the studio initially wanted Ryan O’Neal, Robert Redford, or Warren Beatty instead. And, even after director Francis Ford Coppola championed Pacino for the gig, the journey to prove the naysayers wrong was super rocky.

Al spills the tea in his memoir "Sonny Boy" ... saying just a week and a half into filming, Francis dropped the bomb that Paramount wasn’t feeling him for the role.

Olivia, who welcomed her baby girl via surrogacy last month, looks happier than ever ... cradling little Méi in a number of heartwarming photos. Though, as most new parents can relate, Olivia and John look a little sleep-deprived in a few shots ... which makes sense since Méi appears to need frequent belly rubs during bedtime.

Donald Trump No More Questions, Let's Dance for 39 Minutes!!! Weird Close at PA Town Hall

101524_trump_music_kal
MAGA MUSIC???

Donald Trump holding a town hall in Pennsylvania with 3 weeks to go before the election makes sense -- but spending more than half an hour swaying to music, instead of taking questions from voters ... well, that's a different story.

Maybe the former president's just feeling so confident about his chances in the crucial battleground state that he thought a dance party was more effective than addressing the crowd that gathered Monday evening in Oaks, PA -- but there he stood, dropping all of his meme-tastic moves.

For a mind-boggling 39 minutes, Trump grooved -- swayed, really -- to a weird playlist ... including "Ave Maria," "Time to Say Goodbye," "Hallelujah" and "Nothing Compares 2 U." Hardly upbeat disco hits.

The actor spilled the tea on baring it all for the Netflix show, cheekily admitting, "Mine was not a prosthetic" during "Watch What Happens Live" -- the declaration coming right after host Andy Cohen pointed out that Mark Wahlberg wore a fake penis in "Boogie Nights," while counting down Hollywood's "top five most iconic full-frontal moments."

Cohen was all ears for the admission, excitedly quipping, "That was going to be my next question! Congratulations to you, Cooper. You're very blessed, aren't you?"

WRONG PLACE, RIGHT TIME!!!
Viral Press

A lucky woman in India narrowly escaped catastrophe when a water tank fell from a roof and landed squarely on top of her -- and she walked away without a scratch!

CCTV footage captures the woman closing a small gate and crossing a narrow lane at Mansi Residency in Dindoli, Surat, India, when a large cylindrical tank suddenly comes crashing down -- and lands so precisely she ends up with her head poking out of the hole at the top.
