Another week is in the books for the Diddy criminal trial, and it took only 13 days of witness testimony for President Trump to insert himself into the proceedings.

The biggest news from Friday's Diddy federal trial happened far from the Manhattan courtroom where he's being tried ... at the White House, Trump was asked about a potential pardon for Diddy if the music mogul gets convicted.

Trump left open the possibility of clemency ... telling reporters he would have to look at the case and the facts and determine if he thought Diddy was treated unfairly ... though it feels a bit premature at this point to be talking pardons.

Courtney Stodden is well aware there are plenty of trolls out there who like to rag on her body imperfections ... and she decided it was time to clap back -- in a bikini, naturally.

The model and reality star on Friday called out a few cellulite trash-talkers on IG ... telling the morons, yeah most women have the skin condition ... and they are still smoking hot, so piss off.

Saying she is over the "sad potato-shaped keyboard warriors" popping off ... CS told the haters ... "women’s bodies aren’t made for your ridiculous approval."

Actress Loretta Swit -- best known for playing the character Margaret "Hot Lips" Houlihan on the long-running sitcom "M*A*S*H" -- died today, TMZ has learned.

Swit's publicist, Harlan Boll, tells TMZ … the two spoke last night, and she seemed fine. Boll said Swit died Friday inside her NYC apartment -- she was found at 10 AM by her maid.

Swit was pronounced dead at noon, according to Boll. No cause of death has been confirmed, but Boll says they believe she died from natural causes.

Alix Earle, Katie Austin and Jena Sims Koepka turned a hot day in Miami on Friday into an absolute scorcher ... leaving little to the imagination in some barely there bathing suits.

The models/influencers hit up the W South Beach for yet another steamy Sports Illustrated Swimsuit party ... and they looked amazing in tiny bikinis.

Earle went with a classic all-black look, while Austin donned an olive two-piece for the occasion. Meanwhile, Sims -- the wife of golf star Brooks Koepka -- was more adventurous, opting for a fun life-saver-themed sheer top and some red bottoms.

Turns out all those Timothée Chalamet Knicks sightings might not be about basketball at all -- and everything to do with heating things up off-court with Kylie Jenner.

After Kylie joined die-hard hoops fan Timothée on Thursday to watch the Knicks beat the Pacers, she went full Samantha Jones -- reposting a very telling "Sex and the City" clip that had fans connecting all the steamy dots.

The HBO Max repost showed Kim Cattrall’s iconic Samantha Jones dishing on her lover Don, saying, "I don’t get laid unless the Knicks win" -- and fans are now convinced Timothée’s got a playoff performance clause in their sex life ... and that the Knicks aren’t the only ones on a hot streak.

Sam Asghari is heating up the beaches of L.A. for a photo shoot ... and you gotta check out the sizzling video we have to prove it!

The fitness model and "Traitors" star was at Zuma Beach in Malibu this week wearing a billowing white button-down shirt, soaking up the sun along the shoreline, as a photog circled him to get the perfect shot … which frankly doesn’t seem that hard to do with Sam.

And it looks like Sam just stepped off the cover of the latest top-selling romance novel, giving Fabio a run for his money.

Snoop Dogg is embracing NBA YoungBoy and Larry Hoover back into society's good standings following President Trump's federal pardons with open arms ... playas may mess up but 2nd chances are invaluable!!!

TMZ Hip Hop spoke to Snoop in Beverly Hills and he had nothing but positive vibes for both YB and Hoover ... and he also went into detail about hip hop culture's ongoing legal turmoil, including the state of African-American gangs.

Brittany, on the other hand, couldn't contain her excitement ... saying "Just so amazing" on her Instagram Story along with a picture of Swift with her first six albums.

2:50 PM PT -- Attorneys John Harris and Herbert Hayden, who represent Jane Does 1-4 in the current lawsuit, tell TMZ ... "The statement released by the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office confirms that charges were not filed against Mr. Robinson due to insufficient evidence—not because the claims lacked merit. This underscores the significant challenges victims face when reporting incidents of sexual assault, particularly when the alleged perpetrator is a powerful and well-known figure."

They continue ... "Moreover, this latest development further affirms that at least five women have now come forward with allegations of sexual assault against Mr. Robinson. Together, they are united in their pursuit of justice."

Prosecutors in Los Angeles are revealing for the first time Smokey Robinson was investigated for an alleged sexual assault back in 2015 ... but the probe did not result in criminal charges.

The L.A. County District Attorney's Office tells TMZ ... they discovered that in 2015 the D.A.'s office was presented with a sexual assault allegation against Smokey, and that the case was kicked up to prosecutors by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.

The D.A. says prosecutors ultimately decided not to charge Smokey with a crime due to a lack of evidence.

The question here is:

President Trump is weighing in on the Diddy federal criminal trial ... saying he would look into the case and consider a potential pardon if the jury returns a guilty verdict.

Trump just doled out a bunch of pardons and commutations this week to a slew of celebs ... and he was asked Friday if he would ever consider pardoning Diddy.

POTUS says he hasn't been following the Diddy trial all that closely and he would have to "look at what's happening" and "look at the facts."

2:52 PM PT -- A spokesperson for The New York Times tells TMZ ... "Elon Musk’s statements today were inaccurate. Donald J. Trump’s lawsuit in Florida is against the Pulitzer Prize board, not The New York Times. The decision solely related to whether the case be temporarily suspended. It did not address the merits of the president’s claims."

"We understand the Pulitzer board will continue to defend its decision and we expect the case will show the quality of the reporting in The Times coverage. The Times has never received a request for a correction or been sued over the facts in our reporting. We’d also note that Musk didn’t deny any of the reporting we published this morning."

Elon Musk is scoffing at the New York Times report accusing him of abusing drugs ... claiming the Times isn't a reputable news source anyway -- so, don't read a dang thing they publish.

Scooter Braun's not feeling any bad blood toward Taylor Swift ... he's actually stoked his former business partner purchased her masters!

The HYBE America CEO tells TMZ ... he's "happy for her" after she bought her entire musical catalog from Shamrock Capital -- the company Scooter sold them to back in 2020 after he bought them from Big Machine Label Group the year before.

If you don't know ... sources tell TMZ that there are verified emails -- some of which appear in "Taylor Swift vs Scooter Braun: Bad Blood" -- which confirm Taylor was offered the opportunity to buy her masters from Scooter before Shamrock Capital purchased them.
