Joe Giudice just had a bittersweet taste of freedom .... he's out of prison, but also he's been forced out of the United States.

Joe's daughter, Gia, just posted this pic of Joe on his way to the airport outside Washington, D.C., where he boarded a plane Friday at Dulles, bound for Rome.

The pic shows Joe in the car on the way to the airport.

As we reported, Joe convinced a judge to let him go to Italy while immigration officials decide his fate. The feds are in the middle of their effort to deport Joe ... this after his conviction for conspiracy to commit wire and bankruptcy fraud.

Joe served 36 months and was released in March, but he was then held by ICE while he fought deportation.

Robert Forster, an Oscar nominee for his starring role in "Jackie Brown," has died after battling brain cancer.

Robert died Friday at his home in Los Angeles, according to his publicist. Sadly, his passing comes on the same day his final film, "El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie" is released on Netflix.

Forster's been a fixture in Hollywood with several iconic roles since the late 1960s. He earned an Oscar nom for his role, opposite Pam Grier, as Max Cherry in Quentin Tarantino's 1997 movie, "Jackie Brown."

Most recently he's starred in "The Descendents," "Mullholland Drive" as well as "Olympus Has Fallen" and its sequel, "London Has Fallen" ... in which he played General Clegg.

Robert also had starring and guest roles on TV shows like the "Twin Peaks" reboot, "Alcatraz" and, of course, "Breaking Bad." He played Ed, the guy who hooked up Walter White a new identity.

No spoiler here ... he plays that same role in 'El Camino."

Forster was 78.

The Weeknd and Bella Hadid hit it off at the model's birthday party, but only as close friends ... TMZ has learned.

Reports surfaced Friday claiming the once inseparable pair were dating again after celebrating Bella's 23rd birthday together in NYC Thursday night. The bash was held at L'Avenue at Saks and Le Chalet and was allegedly attended by celebs like Taylor Swift and Hailee Steinfeld.

It was The Weeknd's attendance to the party that got people talking, the two were seen hanging out the entire night.

However, sources close to the couple tell us there's nothing romantic about the rendezvous, the pair are simply good friends now.

It was about two months ago when Bella and The Weeknd called it quits ... sources told us he wanted to take the time to focus on his new projects, including music.

NFL legend Ed Reed is concerned about Vontaze Burfict's mental health -- and is calling for the Oakland Raiders star to be "mentally evaluated" over his history of violent play.

"After all the years ... dude actually needs to be evaluated," Reed told TMZ Sports at LAX. "I think he needs to be evaluated for playing like that."

Reed is referring to Burfict's well-documented history of illegal hits on NFL players. Most recently, Burfict was suspended for the remainder of the 2019 season for a dirty helmet-to-helmet hit on Indianapolis Colts tight end Jack Doyle.

The Raiders appealed the punishment, claiming Burfict was being treated unfairly (the appeal was denied) ... but Reed says Burfict "had it coming."

"He put himself in that situation after all the years and everything he's done."

With a reflection like this, who wouldn't wanna snap a selfie!

Ronnie and Jen say they're done with each other, but we've heard this song before, and Matt Lauer is lashing out at his rape accuser, but she's holding firm. So, we gotta ask ...

David Oyelowo says Charlize Theron's not shy about using colorful language, and if ya don't believe him ... check out this video. She proves his point, and then some.

The actors -- who costarred in the movie "Gringo" -- were participating in a Q&A this week at a Bev Hills charity gala for The GEANCO Foundation. When Oyelowo was asked about his first encounter with Theron, the crowd got a jaw-dropping tale ... about anuses.

He warned the audience it probably wasn't appropriate -- especially with his family in attendance -- but Charlize had no qualms ... and dropped a crack about bleaching your crack.

Al Sharpton is weighing in on the NBA's recent drama with China ... telling TMZ Sports the league needs to take a stand for democracy and not let the money talk them out of it!!!

Of course, Sharpton is referring to the backlash the association's gotten after Rockets GM Daryl Morey tweeted out support for Hong Kong protesters ... with the league losing Chinese sponsors, airtime and a number of NBA events that were planned this week as a result.

Sharpton says the whole situation is bothersome ... but the league can't be hypocritical, especially when some of the biggest NBA figures have been critical of America's current leadership.

"We can’t have them try, in the name of some commercial interest and money, take away people’s democratic rights and then claim that we are the home of democracy around the world," Sharpton says.

"Clearly, we should stand up to them and say that people there are protesting their democratic rights in Hong Kong and we must identify with them. Money should not be able to buy our commitment and passionate commitment to democracy."

Shaunie O'Neal straight-up says it's BS for costar OG Chijindu to accuse "Basketball Wives" of colorism ... 'cause it just ain't true.

Shaunie's fiercely defending the show she stars in and executive produces ... saying they work hard to make sure cast members like OG don't feel like outcasts because of the color of their skin.

Things have gotten heated on the set for sure. OG was kept in a separate, small set during the taping of the reunion, but we're told that was for security reasons.

Don't let these two almost identical images of Keke Palmer send you off to the rodeo ... take a good look around and see if you can spot the sneaky switches made to this tricky pic!!!

The multitalented star was recently announced as the third co-host to join "Good Morning America's" third-hour show, "Strahan and Sara." The show has since been changed to "Strahan, Sara, and Keke." Palmer was spotted on her way to the studio earlier this week and we've made a few changes ... see if you can figure out the differences between these two super similar snaps!!!

Mariah Carey thinks Nick Cannon is just being silly when he says he wants to rekindle their flame ... and she's definitely not on the same wave.

We got Mariah leaving her Friday lunch at Mr. Chow in Bev Hills and our guy asked how she feels about her ex-husband's recent comments about wanting to get back together.

In case you missed it ... Nick was on T.I.'s podcast recently and told the rapper he would happily jump back into marriage with Mariah, calling the singer his "dream girl."

Mariah, who finalized her divorce with Nick way back in 2016, thinks he's just kidding about the whole remarriage thing ... and it sounds like she's not taking his comments seriously.

As for the single life, Mariah's keeping her options open ... and Nick apparently ain't the only one who could win her over.

Joe Giudice is bailing from the U.S., because we've learned he's on a flight to Italy -- TODAY!!!

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Joe got what he wished for -- a ticket to Rome that leaves the mainland tonight while he awaits the decision on remaining in the United States. BTW ... he's flying economy.

TMZ broke the story ... Joe wants to return to his native land so he can get work and send money back to the States to support his wife, Teresa Giudice, and their 4 daughters ... all of whom live in New Jersey.

Danielle Bregoli's strained relationship with her mother is arguably what made her famous -- or infamous -- but she's turning over a new leaf by tatting Mom's name on her neck!!!

Bhad Bhabie was strolling through LAX Friday afternoon when a pap caught a glimpse of the new ink -- and she revealed Barbara Ann's name is permanently branded on her neck.

As you can see ... Danielle got the tatt done in black cursive, and it stretches across a good chunk of skin. Sounds like the homage to Mom is pretty fresh too.

The Little League World Series champs just visited the White House ... and got the best ride back home ever -- A FLIGHT ON AIR FORCE ONE WITH THE PRESIDENT!!!

The youngsters won the Little League WS back in August ... and shortly after the game, Donald Trump tweeted he'd love to host them for a title celebration at 1600 Penn.

So, the kids took him up on that offer Friday ... and got the coolest reward -- a private flight back home on Trump's plane!!!

Trump was headed to Louisiana this weekend anyway -- No. 45 has a rally on Friday night in Lake Charles -- so it all worked out for everybody involved.

Check out the pics ... the kids -- decked out in their LLWS unis -- loved it ... they had huge smiles on their faces as they strolled onto Trump's ride.

"What an amazing day!" said Louisiana congressman Steve Scalise -- who made the trip with the Little Leaguers. "I’m so proud of this team!"

Wale's pushing a brilliant idea that would help artists the second they put pen to paper on a new record deal ... now he just needs record labels to step up.

The rapper hopped on "TMZ Live" Friday and talked about a noble and personal cause -- getting record labels to do right by looking after the mental health of their artists as they rise and fall.

Wale's committed ... so much so he dropped his new studio album, "Wow ... That's Crazy" to bring awareness on #WorldMentalHealthDay. The rapper says with artists being under the microscope these days, every one of their moves -- from bad days to breakups -- are immediately magnified 100 times over.

Liam Hemsworth's showing the best way to get over an ex -- especially when she's moved on twice already -- is to move on yourself ... with another hot blonde.

Liam was spotted in NYC's West Village neighborhood Thursday holding hands with a mystery woman ... both of them rocking jackets and sunglasses. The two enjoyed a meal and some drinks together at Sant Ambroeus ... before going on a romantic stroll.

Can't say Liam's date's a total Miley Cyrus look-alike ... but the similarities are there.

Hemsworth's stepping out with a new chick ... more subtle than Miley flaunting her fling with Australian singer Cody Simpson.
