President Trump is doubling down on his controversial speech at the White House Correspondents' Dinner for CNN's Kaitlan Collins ... posting an A.I.-generated image depicting the anchor as transgender actress Dylan Mulvaney.

Trump shared the photo on Truth Social Sunday ... showing Collins smiling in a black dress and gloves while clutching a Bud Light, with several more cans sitting in front of her ... mirroring Dylan's 2023 Bud Light ad that prompted Conservatives to boycott the brand.

Sam said his lawyers have pressed for answers from his sister -- who is representing herself -- but he claims she has failed to turn over a ton of important info in the case and coordinate her schedule for the deposition and medical exam. He's asking the judge to order her to comply with the case deadlines and warn her that her case could be dismissed if she fails to do so.

Mitch McConnell's proof of life photo isn't putting speculation about his health to bed ... it's keeping it on life support.

Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway are the latest high-profile voices to scrutenize the McConnell photo, with Scott flat-out saying, "I think it's fake." Kara calls the photo "sus" and argues officials should "just wheel the old man out."

The pair tackled the controversy on their "Pivot" podcast ... with Scott admitting he's "part of the tinfoil" crowd before doubling down and saying he believes the photo isn't authentic.

Mitch McConnell's proof of life photo was supposed to silence the internet ... instead, it poured gasoline on the fire ... and lots of folks still aren't buying it.

After weeks of wild rumors claiming the longtime Senator was brain-dead, secretly dead, or otherwise being hidden from the public ... and an image his office released Sunday meant to reassure everyone McConnell was fine instead sparked a fresh conspiracy all its own -- with countless people insisting it was either A.I.-generated, photoshopped or recycled from years ago.

Internet sleuths are pointing out all sorts of strange things going on in the image, particularly around McConnell's hand holding the Sunday sports page of the Washington Post.

A photo making the rounds on social media has sparked rumors that Meagan Good is pregnant ... but TMZ has learned she's not expecting and the image has been doctored.

Milania Giudice is breaking her silence on her assault arrest ... and it sounds like she's way more concerned about a fake mug shot floating around than she is about the case.

Milania posted a series of TikToks on Sunday night addressing her legal issues and blasting folks for believing a photo going viral on social media is really her mug shot.

An Amazon spokesperson tells TMZ in a statement ... "We have the utmost respect and admiration for Luca Guadagnino as an award-winning filmmaker — not to mention a longstanding relationship that we hope to continue."

A.J. Brown couldn't be happier to be a New England Patriot ... but the superstar receiver is seemingly attempting to rewrite history just a bit -- 'cause his childhood pics showing him in a Tom Brady jersey were made with A.I.

Brown -- who was traded from the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday -- went to Instagram to address his new move ... questionably using a Diddy song to get the message across that he's "Coming Home."

The post included two snaps of a young Brown in Patriots jerseys ... but the only problem is the only way he would have had those threads is if he had a time machine, given he's 28 years old now.

Pope Leo XIV is throwing up a major warning flag about artificial intelligence ... saying the technology could become dangerous if nobody keeps it in check.

Roll the clip ... the creator of the Saxboy Billy account tells TMZ he writes all the lyrics himself, but says the songs were originally just meant to add comedy to his travel videos online.

"I'm not a musician, baby. I'm a slob," he told us. "I don’t claim this to be music."
