King Charles III and Queen Camilla just pulled up in the U.S. -- kicking off a headline-making, historic visit with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump.

The royals rolled into the White House Monday and got the full greeting -- handshakes from Trump, and both giving Melania extra cheek kisses.

After some quick pleasantries, the foursome posed for pics before heading inside for tea.

President Donald Trump is now joining Melania Trump and Karoline Leavitt in piling on Jimmy Kimmel ... demanding the late-night host be fired after his controversial joke about the First Lady.

Trump erupted on Truth Social on Monday ... calling Kimmel "in no way funny" and taking a swipe at his "terrible Television Ratings" before blasting the comic for airing what he described as a "fake video" of Melania and Barron during his monologue.

Trump was referring to Kimmel's White House Correspondents' Dinner parody, where the host joked, "Our First Lady, Melania, is here. Look at Melania, so beautiful. Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow."

The president argued the joke took on a much darker meaning after authorities say an armed suspect tried to storm the actual White House Correspondents' Dinner just two days later.

Zahara took the mic and showed major love to her mom -- calling Angelina her "superhero" and "the most selfless, loving, and understanding woman," while reflecting on her life since being adopted as a baby.

Samuel Monroe Jr. -- best known for his role in the '90s classic film "Menace II Society" -- is fighting for his life in the hospital ... and his family is asking for help with his mounting medical bills.

TMZ reported earlier today ... the actor has been on life support in a SoCal hospital for the past three days -- and he's battling meningitis. As for the prognosis, we're told it's unclear.

Shawna Stewart, Samuel's wife, tells TMZ ... the family has created a GoFundMe as his substantial medical bills pile up ... and they hope fans will help, no matter the amount they can spare.

Dr. Dre and Michelle Saniei have the internet doing a serious double take ... because new photos of the two have fans convinced they might be an item.

The 61 year old music mogul and the 37 year old Bravo star from "The Valley" were spotted leaving Nobu Malibu over the weekend ... they were holding hands!!!

Michelle's love life has already been front and center of her hit show "The Valley" -- from her marriage to Jesse Lally to her more recent relationship with Aaron Nosler -- and she's also been linked to a few names in the Los Angeles social scene.

Off camera, she's a high-end real estate agent known for selling multimillion-dollar homes, so she's no stranger to being around the rich and famous.

"The Challenge" star CT Tamburello's divorce from OnlyFans superstar Catalina White has hit a roadblock due to him being overseas filming a reality show ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ ... CT and Catalina are negotiating a settlement. The parties say the deal is in "its final stages" but add that CT is currently filing and reality show and has "very limited contact with his counsel."

Dylan Carter -- a singer from South Carolina who once competed on "The Voice" -- was killed in a car crash Saturday ... and now we have a better idea of how the tragedy occurred.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... a 2026 Tesla sedan was traveling southbound on U.S. Route 21 in South Carolina just after 11 PM when it veered off the road, striking a pole and a fence, before rolling. The driver was the only person in the car ... and they succumbed to their injuries at the hospital.

The crash remains under investigation ... and authorities would not release any other details, including whether he fell asleep or suffered a medical emergency or was possibly intoxicated.

Dylan was identified as the driver by a number of locals who posted on social media, including Thomas Hamilton Jr., the mayor of Moncks Corner, where Dylan was set to perform Monday night.

Taylor Swift is making sure A.I. doesn't turn her into its next puppet ... because, according to docs obtained by TMZ, she's quietly locked down some very specific trademarks aimed at making sure any digital copycats of her voice and image are "CANCELLED!"

According to new trademark filings submitted last Friday, Taylor is seeking federal protection for two phrases tied directly to her voice: "Hey, it's Taylor Swift" and "Hey, it's Taylor." The filings fall under the rare "sound mark" category -- the same trademark lane used for recognizable audio cues ... like Netflix's "tu-dum" and NBC's iconic chimes.

Taylor's legal team appears to be on their "Vigilante S***" preparing for the growing wave of A.I.-generated songs, videos, and deepfakes that mimic celebrities without permission. By trademarking phrases tied to her voice, Taylor could have a stronger argument if someone uses A.I. to create content that sounds too much like her.

He departed Los Angeles by train last Tuesday and made a stop in Chicago on Thursday. The next day, he arrived in D.C. and checked into the Washington Hilton Friday afternoon, the officials said.

The press conference was held shortly after Allen was arraigned on three charges in D.C. federal court -- attempting to assassinate the president, transporting a firearm and ammunition with intent to commit a felony, and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. He did not enter a plea.

Justice has been a long time coming in the murder of Run-DMC legend Jason Mizell -- AKA Jam Master Jay -- because another man has admitted his role in the hip-hop icon's killing nearly 24 years after the shocking crime.

Monday, federal prosecutors announced Jay Bryant pleaded guilty in a federal court in Brooklyn to his role in Jam Master Jay's 2002 murder ... after prosecutors alleged he helped the killers get inside the legendary DJ's Queens recording studio before the fatal shooting.

"More than two decades after the cold-blooded, execution-style killing of Mr. Mizell, an exhaustive investigation revealed Bryant's role and today he finally admitted his guilt," U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella said. "The prosecutors in our Office and our law enforcement partners never give up, no matter how long it takes, in the pursuit of justice for the victim and the victim's family."

The man accused of opening fire just outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner appeared before a judge Monday -- and prosecutors formally hit him with three charges during his arraignment in D.C. federal court ... including attempting to assassinate the president.

Cole Allen -- a 31-year-old teacher from Torrance, California -- was also charged with allegedly transporting a firearm and ammunition with intent to commit a felony ... and discharging a firearm during a crime of violence. He did not enter a plea.

Before Monday's charges, Allen was initially accused of using a firearm during a crime of violence and assaulting a federal officer with a dangerous weapon following Saturday night's terrifying incident at the Washington Hilton.

Authorities say Allen allegedly charged toward the White House Correspondents' Dinner while firing his weapon as he ran toward the ballroom area inside the hotel where it was taking place ... where President Donald Trump, first lady Melania Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance and several members of Trump's cabinet were gathered inside.

Donnell Rawlings is standing firmly in Michael Jackson’s corner ... telling us the filmmakers were right to reportedly spend millions reworking the upcoming biopic to remove references to abuse allegations.

Check out the clip ... we caught up with the comedian over the weekend and asked whether the reported $25M overhaul to reshoot the third act -- which featured sexual abuse allegations against the pop star -- was the right move ... and Donnell didn’t hesitate to give his POV.

He pointed to the fact Michael was acquitted in his 2005 criminal trial and said the allegations ultimately amounted to “speculation” ... adding the movie shouldn’t tarnish the King of Pop’s legacy by ending on accusations instead of his contributions to music and the world.

Donnell told us people should remember Michael for “healing the world” and being “the greatest performer that we’ve ever seen” ... making it crystal clear where he stands on the controversy.
