'Saturday Night Live' Takes Jabs at Trump's 'Patriot Games' ... And Epstein Files Redaction

Published | Updated

"Saturday Night Live" is once again parodying President Donald Trump -- this time, taking jabs at his recent holiday speech that included the announcement of his "Patriot Games" ... in light of the Jeffrey Epstein files dropping Friday.

James Austin Johnson opens the show in his famed Trump attire, standing in front of an identical fireplace as 47 was late last week ... and immediately mocks his 'Hunger Games' idea. He says, "What’s the best way to distract from the Epstein files? I know, invite a bunch of teenagers to my house!" As you know, his "Patriot Games" is meant to showcase elite high school athletes.

The actor took another shot at Trump by criticizing his name being added to the Kennedy Center, saying in character ... "People are saying, 'Why are you putting your name on so many buildings?’ And I say it’s because we had to take it off of so many files, Epstein redacted. We had so many Trumps in there!”

This likely references the suspicion that several files -- at least 16 files, according to AP -- have gone MIA from the Justice Department’s Epstein Files drop from Friday. This reportedly includes a snapshot of Trump and images that show a painting depicting nude women.

Internet sleuths caught on to the allegedly vanished pic of Trump earlier Saturday, and Democrats on the House Oversight Committee publicly questioned Attorney General Pam Bondi about it. So far, no word back ...

Terence Crawford Sued By Jeweler ... You Lied About Promoting My Shop!

Published | Updated

Terence Crawford hasn't been retired for a full week, but he's already got another fight on his hands -- albeit a legal one -- 'cause the legendary boxer has been sued by a prominent jeweler who claims Bud lied to him and screwed him over.

In the lawsuit, filed on December 18 and obtained by TMZ Sports, 38-year-old Crawford is accused of hitting up Mazza New York in February 2024 for several custom pendants for him and his team (we previously reported when Bud copped 'em).

According to Mazza, Crawford became interested in a $139k Patek Philippe Aquanaut watch while in the store, but rather than buying it flat out, Mazza claims Bud suggested he pay $35k, and then would cover the rest by promoting the jewelry store on his trunks during a fight.

Mazza says he agreed, however, when Crawford's August 2024 fight against Israil Madrimov rolled around, the jeweler claims the logo "had completely fallen off" by the 4th round.

John Travolta Youngest Kid Is Riley Keough's Biological Son, Lawsuit Claims

Published | Updated

John Travolta and his late wife, Kelly Preston, had three children together ... but their youngest kid is biologically a Presley ... this according to a bombshell legal document.

Priscilla Presley's former business partner, Brigitte Kruse, is currently suing Priscilla's son, Navarone Garcia, for breach of contract ... but what's way more interesting in new legal docs filed in the case is that Kruse alleges John and Kelly used Riley Keough's eggs to give birth to their son, Ben.

In the papers, Kruse alleges Michael Lockwood -- Lisa Marie Presley's ex-husband -- told her Kelly had been unable to bear her own children. Kruse claims John and Kelly previously used Lisa Marie’s eggs to get pregnant ... but they no longer wanted Lisa's eggs because they did not want “eggs with heroin" on them.

It's unclear whether Lisa Marie's eggs ever produced a child.

However, Kruse claims a deal was orchestrated where Riley -- one of Lisa Marie's daughters -- gave her eggs to Travolta, so that Kelly could give birth to Ben, who is 15 now. Kruse claims Riley was given an old Jaguar and paid between $10,000 - $20,000 for the deal.
