President Trump's name just came up in the Epstein Files in a huge way ... there's an FBI document where someone apparently told authorities Trump and Jeffrey Epstein raped a female.

The claim is part of an unclassified FBI intake form from October 2020 ... and the document says someone called the FBI National Threat Operations Center Unit to report potential information related to Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

In the intake report -- essentially a detailed summary of a tip received by FBI personnel from a civilian -- there's a redacted name that states "he raped me" in reference to Trump. A redacted name is also quoted as saying, "Donald J. Trump had raped her along with Jeffrey Epstein." The age of the alleged victim is unclear.

He adds ... "I feel so blessed to have the opportunity to atone for the many things over the years I did wrong, and the opportunity for the people to understand the truth of my situation."

12:40 PM PT -- The DOJ has just released a statement on X that the FBI confirmed the letter from Jeffrey Epstein to Larry Nassar is "FAKE."

Jeffrey Epstein may have had a pedo pen pal in Larry Nassar ... and President Donald Trump is also in the mix as a lover of "nubile girls," according to new documents released by the Department of Justice.

The DOJ just dumped a new batch of Epstein Files, in which there's an August 2019 letter allegedly written by Epstein to Larry Nassar while both men were incarcerated in separate federal prisons.

Nassar had been convicted of sexually assaulting hundreds of young female gymnasts and sentenced to life behind bars. Epstein was awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in NYC for allegedly sex trafficking minors ... but he died by suicide the same month -- August 2019 -- he allegedly penned the missive to Nassar.

The letter opens, "We shared one thing ... our love & caring for young ladies and the hope they'd reach their full potential. Our president also shares our love of young, nubile girls."

Perhaps the most famous grandma on TikTok, Epic Gamer Grandma, has died.

Her passing was confirmed by her grandson Culsan in an Instagram post Tuesday. In it, Culsan listed her date of death as December 21.

According to Culsan, his grandmother passed away "holding the hand of her daughter, Pauline."

Jake Paul is set to take a much-needed hiatus from the ring after breaking his jaw against Anthony Joshua last week ... but it sounds like he'll be staying busy outside the ring -- 'cause El Gallo has a bad case of baby fever!!

Paul spared a few minutes of his time on Logan's "Impaulsive" podcast not long after undergoing surgery on his jaw ... where they asked him what's next following his loss.

"I'm gonna take some time off to go support Jutta [Leerdam] at the Olympics," Paul said of his fiancée. "Then she's gonna move to Puerto Rico. Move her here. Maybe go snowboarding or something."

The surviving loved ones of Rob and Michele Reiner have a little more closure today ... the couple's death certificates have been released.

TMZ obtained the late couple's certificates from the Los Angeles County Public Health Dept. ... while they list some information already publicly known -- multiple sharp force injuries as their causes of death -- the gravity of the documents is still heavy.

They were both cremated at Mount Sinai Mortuary. Their final resting place is the home of their son, Jake.

Three months after Jerry "The King" Lawler suffered a stroke at his home ... the WWE Hall of Famer provided fans with an update on how he's doing these days -- and even talked about how he might even have one more wrestling match in him!!

The 76-year-old sat down with a local news outlet in Tennessee for a wide-ranging interview, where they asked him how he's feeling after his second medical scare in the last seven years.

"I get asked that question fifty times a day," he said. "I like to say something I saw in the news recently, people say six or seven."

Nice to see The King still has a sense of humor.

But on a more serious note ... he dove deeper into the day he suffered his medical emergency -- saying it came from out of nowhere.

Dua Lipa may be done with her "Radical Optimism" tour, but she clearly kept the vibes alive ... playing hype woman for fiancé Callum Turner, who looked like he needed a serious vaycay pick-me-up.

Check out these pics -- Dua was spotted going full comfort mode, wrapping her arms around Callum as he looked seriously down in the dumps this week in sunny Mexico, trying to figure out what had him so bothered.

Callum looked seriously bummed -- but with how caring and tuned-in Dua was, it definitely didn’t seem like the blues had anything to do with trouble between the two.

President Trump is joking about leaving the White House to pursue a career as a "Master of Ceremony" ... and it's all got to do with tonight's Kennedy Center Honors broadcast.

Trump hosted the event a couple weeks ago, but it's going to air tonight ... and he hopped on social media hours before the broadcast with a funny question ... "If really good, would you like me to leave the Presidency in order to make 'hosting' a full time job?"

Half the country would take that trade in a heartbeat.

10:27 AM PT -- A rep for Kevin Spacey tells TMZ ... “The 2002 trip to Africa with President Clinton to support AIDS causes and meet Nelson Mandela remains a genuine highlight in Kevin’s life. The fact that the plane was owned by Jeffrey Epstein is immaterial considering it was three years before Epstein was ever investigated. Whatever wrongdoing may have been taking place in the background has nothing to do with Kevin, any more than a hotel guest is responsible for actions occurring in a neighboring room. Kevin never saw or spoke to Jeffrey Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell ever again.”

Kevin Spacey -- who vehemently called for the release of the Epstein Files this summer -- has been included in the trove of pics just released today.

In the image released by the U.S. Department of Justice ... the "American Beauty" star leans on the back of a chair alongside Bill Clinton, appearing to be in mid-conversation. They're standing in a room before a conference table littered with pads and writing utensils, suggesting they're preparing for a meeting of some sort.

According to CNN, the pic was taken inside the Cabinet Room of the Churchill War Rooms -- which is an underground bunker in London.

Clinton reportedly took Epstein's private jet on a humanitarian trip to Africa with Spacey in 2002.

Looking for an update on Amanda Bynes’ Ozempic journey? You’re in luck ... she just dropped one herself, hopping on IG to gush about how much progress she’s made.

The former child star shared a recent snap of herself out in L.A. -- admitting she usually hates pap pics -- but this one of her rocking a white tee and ripped blue jeans hit different for her, proudly revealing she’s down 28 pounds.

Saturday night was a double takeover ... rap artist Compton AV took over one bus, while DJ Sky from "Baddies" held it down on the other -- and it turned into a full-on Christmas Bus Battle when the buses rolled past each other to see which one was more lit!

Compton AV was an incredible host ... not only hyping the crowd, but delivering live performances of some of his biggest hits -- including "Slid'N" -- live on the bus. His bus, complete with a mobile billboard, followed us for an epic, on-the-move concert moment.

DJ Sky looked stunning and had passengers swooning as she led her bus to some of the best bars in town, including The Burgundy Room, one of the coolest, grungiest dive bars around. Both buses then hit Beaches in West Hollywood -- not to be confused with Beaches Tropicana -- where we got free shots and danced the night away.
