Sean Hannity is calling on folks to tone down their rhetoric about President Trump in the wake of the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner ... he says there are a lot of unstable people out there who are influenced by all the negative labels getting attached to Trump's name.

We got the Fox News personality in New York City and our photog managed to ask him a couple questions about the shooting.

The way Sean sees it ... the shooting should serve as a reminder that it's super dangerous to call Trump a racist, a fascist or a Nazi.

Taylor Frankie Paul's attempt to shut the public out of her legal war with Dakota Mortensen just got rejected in court.

On Monday, a judge denied Taylor's request to seal Thursday's upcoming protective order hearing and keep the media out ... making it clear her case will be treated like any other case -- despite the massive public attention surrounding the former couple.

During Monday's status conference, Taylor's attorney, Eric Swinyard, argued the hearing set for Thursday will be far more substantive than previous proceedings and will dive into serious allegations made by both sides.

Joseph Duggar's wife Kendra is back in court over her own criminal case ... and she just scored a major legal win after getting a no-contact order lifted.

According to new court docs obtained by TMZ, Kendra's attorney, Travis W. Story, filed an entry of appearance on her behalf last week and entered a not guilty plea to charges of endangering the welfare of a minor and false imprisonment.

Her legal team also asked the court to dissolve a no-contact order that had been put in place on March 20 ... arguing the alleged victims wanted contact with Kendra restored, that she had complied with all conditions of the order, and that continued restrictions were preventing important third-party evaluations tied to the case.

The feds say the man charged with attempting to assassinate President Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner sent his manifesto to family and friends moments before he burst through a security checkpoint armed with a shotgun and pistol ... and it looks like he had a lot to say.

In the criminal complaint, obtained by TMZ, the feds include a large portion of what they say is Cole Allen's manifesto ... and it looks like he scheduled the note to be sent right before he allegedly made his move.

The email starts off by apologizing and explaining a possible motive ... "I am a citizen of the United States of America. What my representatives do reflects on me. And I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes."

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.

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.

Angelina Jolie had a surprise collab with "The Real Housewives of Potomac" star Gizelle Bryant ... the two crossed paths at a sorority event for their daughters at Atlanta's Spelman College.

Gizelle shared a snap on IG Stories alongside her daughter Angel, posing with Angelina and her daughter Zahara Jolie at the weekend Atlanta brunch hosted by the Pearls of Purpose Foundation and Alpha Kappa Alpha's Nu Lambda Omega Chapter.

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."

The court docs note both parties expect the settlement to be finalized soon, but the parties are asking for a short extension on filing certain financial docs so they can get it done.

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.
