HOCKEY SMACK TALK!!!!

President Barack Obama stuck it to Canada this morning ... hitting the Prime Minister over the subject that hurts the most -- HOCKEY!!!!

Obama was with P.M. Justin Trudeau at the White House talking about things the two countries will never agree on. One of those things ... who's better at hockey.

When Trudeau sniped, "Don't get me started" ... Obama replied, "Where's the Stanley Cup right now?"

"I'm sorry, is it in my hometown with the Chicago Blackhawks?!"

BOOOOOM!!!!!!!

Katt Williams got out of a Georgia jail cell -- even though prosecutors fought hard to have him held without bail -- but the judge put several restrictions on his release.

During Katt's bond hearing prosecutors hit him with 2 new charges -- marijuana and firearm possession, both felonies -- and argued the comedian should be held behind bars. He'd already been charged with terror threats and false imprisonment for allegedly directing others to choke and hold his bodyguard, Corey Dixon, hostage.

The judge released him on a $60k bond -- and ordered Katt to stay away from drugs, alcohol and guns.

In court, prosecutors said Katt and his crew shaved off Corey's beard while holding him and threatening to kill him. As part of his release ... Katt must also stay away from the bodyguard, and surrender his passport.

No more international gigs, at least for now.

3:25 PM PT -- The hearing's ended, and the judge did not rule yet on whether an examiner will be needed to review 50 Cent's assets. Nor did she comment about the "fake" money pics that prompted his creditors to demand an examiner.

Stay tuned.

50 Cent thumbed his nose at his many, many creditors by showing up in bankruptcy court with stacks of cash -- possibly fake -- sticking out of his waistband.

50 had to show up in a Hartford, CT court on Wednesday to face the judge over his social media poses with giant wads of money. As we first reported ... Fiddy claimed in docs the dough is just prop money he uses to keep up his image as a rich mogul.

Considering the reason for today's hearing, it was pretty bold (or stupid) of him to post this shot ... WHILE the hearing was still in progress.

We'll see if the judge digs 50's cents of humor.

Donald Trump's catching a lot of flak over his meat -- since those slabs of beef he called his own, "Trump Steaks," aren't really his -- but turns out he IS in bed with the real owner.

After Trump's victory speech from his golf club in Jupiter, Florida ... critics jumped all over him for bragging about the meat. He referred to Trump Steaks ... a now defunct line of meat he sold in the early 2000s, but reporters on scene noticed the packaging said Bush Brothers -- a FL based meat company.

Bush Brothers confirms it was their product onstage with the Donald, and they didn't know he was going to whip out the meat. But the BB rep added they do a lot of biz with the candidate ... as the exclusive steak supplier to all of Trump's South Florida properties.

Sooo ... he definitely stretched the truth, but the beef is at least Trump adjacent.

Besides, he's got bigger steak issues -- like the fact he cops to ordering his "well done."

The shooting death of ex Eagle Randy Meisner's wife just got even more bizarre -- a pair of cowboy boot spurs literally triggered the rifle that killed her.

As we reported ... Lana Meisner was killed while moving the case holding the rifle. Law enforcement sources now tell us there were 2 spurs in the case, and when Lana picked up the case ...the spurs fell and hit the trigger.

Adolf Hitler's copy of "Mein Kampf" will be hitting the auction block.

Alexander Historical Auctions obtained the book from a daughter of one of the 11 American officers who looted Hitler's Munich apartment on May 2nd, 1945. The book was signed by the 11 officers from the 45th Infantry Division.

Auction owner Bill Panagopulos estimates the volume will go for somewhere between $12,000 and $15,000, and possibly a lot more.

Justin Bieber is in a brand new celebrity feud ... with UFC superstar Nate Diaz!!!

Here's the deal ... after the fight, Bieber praised Conor McGregor on social media -- posting a photo of the guy with the caption, "Still the champ."

Then he posted video of a toast he made to Conor saying, "To McGregor. He's still the champ. That broke my heart."

He added, "No bandwagon but Conor is a true champion, fights with style and finesse, all the respect to Nate but his style is terrible. Nate has crazy heart respect."

So, how did Nate Diaz react???

He posted a image on Instagram showing him slapping Bieber in the face with the caption, "Shut your bitch ass up."

He added the caption, "Bieber's a hater."

Your move now, Justin ...

Mark Wahlberg has officially signed on to produce a movie about the life of NBA star Caron Butler ... this according to Caron himself.

The movie will be based on Butler's autobiography 'Tuff Juice' -- in which the Sacramento Kings forward details how he overcame a hard life as a drug dealing youth to make it to the NBA.

As we first reported, the two were in talks to turn the story into a movie back in September -- and now, Mark has signed an agreement essentially buying the rights to Caron's story.

"I’m excited to take the next step towards sharing my story with an even larger audience and it’s a blessing to have someone as well-known and respected as Mark Wahlberg by my side," Butler said.

"I wanted to tell my story because I’m living proof that it is possible to overcome adversity and make a better life for yourself and your family. The response from the book was overwhelming and when someone like Mark Wahlberg tells you that your life could be a movie, you listen."

So, who will play Caron?? He previously told us his dream actor is Michael B. Jordan.

This is insane!!!!

A news reporter in San Francisco is lucky to be alive ... after narrowly getting out of the way of a brutal car crash -- while in the middle of a LIVE TV shot!!!!

The reporter is KTVU's Alex Savidge -- who was doing a routine live shot with his back to the street when two cars collided -- a Toyota came careening right at him VERY FAST.

Somehow, Savidge was able to leap out of the way right in the nick of time ... as the car went slamming into a wall so hard that the hub cap came off the wheel.

Afterward, Savidge tweeted ... "My heart's racing like crazy! Almost got hit by a car live on air, but I'm OK-Thanks everyone for your concern."

Holly Holm says her loss to Miesha Tate is "not the end for me" -- and has challenged the new champ to a rematch.

Holly went to Instagram and posted a pic of herself in the chokehold that did her in ... saying, "This is how Saturday night ended but it's not the end for me."

"I am going to train hard and show that I am better than this. I am down but not out. Thank you @mieshatate for the opportunity last weekend. Well done. What do you say? ....Let's do this again."

She added the hashtag #downbutnotout.

Herschel Walker's got his old boss' back -- ripping Mitt Romney for his anti-Trump speech this morning ... essentially calling the guy a loser.

Walker has been an extremely vocal supporter of his 'Celebrity Apprentice' boss -- previously telling TMZ Sports he believes Trump will "save America."

Now, with Mitt Romney blasting Trump this morning as a "phoney" who is dangerous for the country -- and John McCain also denouncing him -- Walker went to bat for Donald with a new statement:

"McCain and Romney lost the playoffs years ago yet they want to talk about someone getting ready for the Super Bowl ... Think about that."

The 4-month old infant who was famously known as the "Bernie Baby" on social media ... has died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

Oliver Jack Carter Lomas-Davis's mother Souxsie says her son died on February 25. She made the sad announcement on Facebook.

Oliver became a phenom when his mom dressed him up in a wig and glasses to look like Sen. Bernie Sanders and posted the pic online.

The senator actually got to meet his youngest (we're guessing) supporter a few weeks ago during a rally in Las Vegas.

It's that time of the month, time to sue New York State for imposing sales tax on tampons ... according to a group of women who are pissed off over the law.

Five women have filed a class action lawsuit calling out the Empire State for not giving tampons the same preferential treatment that male medical products get. For instance, in NY ... Rogaine, condoms and foot powder are exempt from the standard 4% sales tax.

The state's Dept. of Taxation and Finance says tampons are used to "control a normal bodily function and to maintain personal cleanliness."

The plaintiffs say that's BS, and tampons are not luxury items ... they're medical necessities to avoid infection and other nasty circumstances.

Several good Samaritans ... including someone who appeared to be a doctor or nurse ... stopped to try to help Aubrey McClendon after his car crash -- but the fire proved to be too dangerous.

TMZ Sports obtained the 911 calls from the crash -- one caller says he actually witnessed the impact. The witnesses say McClendon's SUV swerved and crashed into the underpass and caught fire.

Another witness says people were running up to the car to try to help ... but noted the fire was "really escalating."

Eventually, the car burst into flames and another witness told 911 ... "There were people standing up there by the vehicle, which doesn't seem very smart to me."

The Erin Andrews nude peephole video was mocked openly at a Marriott exec's dinner table in Nashville ... but the exec denies having anything to do with the video being played.

Neal Peskind admits his friends pulled up the video on a phone while they were out to dinner Tuesday night. He says he quickly asked them to stop "and while they did so, it was not as quickly as I had hoped."

The damage was done. A server saw what happened and blasted Peskind and co. on Twitter. She claims Peskind and his friends talked about Erin's body and said she doesn't deserve money. Peskind denies there was any such conversation, and says, "This incident has been blown into something it was not."

Here's the problem ... the jury in Erin's $75 million lawsuit against Marriott is not sequestered. The judge has no doubt instructed them to ignore all news reports related to the case, but you know the way that goes.

On his way into court Wednesday ... reporters for WSMV, which broke the story, questioned Peskind about the incident.

English soccer star Adam Johnson -- a former member of the English national team -- was convicted of sexual activity with a 15-year-old girl and will likely go to prison.

The 28-year-old -- who played for Sunderland in the English Premier League -- was accused of hooking up with the girl in his Range Rover back in January 2015.

The girl told cops Johnson put his hands down her pants and she performed oral sex on him. Johnson was cleared of the oral sex charge ... but found guilty of digitally penetrating the child.

During the hearing, the judge told Johnson a prison sentence was "almost inevitable."
