Donald Trump and Steve Bannon must've known Jeffrey Epstein was sex trafficking and abusing girls, because Epstein proudly displayed photos of his victims ... so says one of the members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee that's been releasing photos and documents from the Epstein estate.

In a recent photo dump, there's an image of Bannon and Epstein sitting at a desk ... and on the desk is a framed photograph of what appears to be a young girl passed out on a couch.

Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, a Democrat from Virginia who sits on the committee, tells TMZ ... the creepy snap of Bannon and Epstein backs up what victims have said about the late pedophile -- that he displayed his trafficking and abuse for everyone to see and wasn't shy about it -- and that makes it "hard for us to believe that people like Bannon and Trump didn't know, particularly Bannon."

Lizzo is sounding off in her legal war with her former dancers -- speaking up right after their fat-shaming claims were dropped -- saying she’s not settling for anything less than fighting every allegation until the full truth comes out.

In an IG clip Monday, Lizzo laid it out in the onscreen text while silently staring at the camera, writing the fat-shaming claims that made up a big chunk of the sexual harassment lawsuit filed by Arianna Davis, Noelle Rodriguez, and Crystal Williams were tossed because they had zero merit.

According to Lizzo, the claim got cut since there was no evidence she fired anyone over weight gain ... clarifying they were actually let go for secretly recording her without her consent and then sending that footage to ex-employees.

Mariah Carey is going from the Queen of Christmas to Queen of the entire winter ... she's going to perform at the Winter Olympics opening ceremony in February!

Closer to the playhouse where Samuel took the stage, Jennifer Lopez could be seen chatting animatedly with other parents and kids ... though it doesn't appear Ben went over to her at any point.

Russell Simmons claims his ex-wife won't let him see his kids ... alleging she's using them as leverage to keep him from taking legal action against her.

KLS told the outlet, "Usually I would say that I co-parent okay, but the kids are with me full-time. I'm pretty much the primary parent. It's difficult, but I don't know sometimes what other people are thinking. Guys are weird."

Ex University of Michigan coach Sherrone Moore didn't offer OnlyFans Model Mia Sorety season tickets in exchange for a foursome, she says ... but the two have exchanged texts in the past -- including after his recent arrest!

We spoke with Mia ... who is all too happy to clap back at gossip that Moore offered a sex-for-tickets quid pro quo ... theorizing social media users or an ex-assistant of hers may have planted the "crazy" story.

That said, Mia conceded she exchanged direct messages with Moore over Instagram for quite some time -- including after he was released from jail Friday -- and she even shared the receipts with us.

The rapper performed at MN Gold Room in Minneapolis Saturday night ... when eyewitnesses say someone threw a bottle at Bobby and yelled "F*** Bobby Shmurda!"

Shmurda -- never one to back down from a challenge -- apparently yelled some expletives at the disrespectful fan ... and even told him he'd kill the guy if he tried something like that again.

A medical scare briefly stopped the show at KROQ's Almost Acoustic Christmas when All-American Rejects frontman, Tyson Ritter, abruptly cut the band's finale mid-song to help a fan who collapsed in the crowd.

TMZ has obtained video showing the band halfway through "Gives You Hell" inside the packed L.A. Kia Forum, when Ritter suddenly halted the music, grabbed the mic, and pointed toward the pit, alerting security that a woman had passed out and needed help.

In front of thousands, Ritter calmly told the crowd to open space and assist her, then added a little holiday improv, urging someone to get the woman "Twinkies or sugar or Christmas gumdrops or pieces of gingerbread houses" to help her. Ritter also called out, "Are you okay?," checking on her from the stage.

Kylie Jenner lit up like a Christmas ornament ... stepping out in a jaw-dropping, figure-hugging fire engine red dress that had every head swiveling.
