Barack Obama is making it clear he's not losing sleep over that racist A.I. video President Donald Trump posted ... but he is drawing a line when it comes to his family.

In a new interview with The New Yorker, Obama addressed the controversy sparked back in February when Trump shared an A.I.-generated clip on social media depicting the former prez and wife Michelle Obama as apes -- imagery that ignited immediate backlash.

Obama’s take? He’s not taking the bait.

Mohamed Hadid was out there hyping his daughter Gigi Hadid's red carpet look like she was museum-worthy art ... only problem? He was duped by pics that weren't even real!

Yep -- while Gigi shut it down at the Met Gala Monday, she definitely wasn’t rocking that OTT white-and-gold gown Mohamed shared on IG before quickly deleting ... but not before someone grabbed a screenshot and it made its way onto Reddit.

As you can see, he didn’t just fall for it -- he committed. Caption and all: "She looks like she came out of a frame from the museum. A classic Hadid moment." Sir ... that frame came from a robot!

Pounds of movie makeup couldn't mask the awkwardness in this interaction ... when Bad Bunny gave Kris Jenner a super weird side hug at the Met Gala!

New video has emerged online capturing the quick greeting between the pop star and the momager Monday night ... with Bunny not breaking stride -- or, more accurately, limp -- as he walked up to Kris and Kim Kardashian in his old man getup.

BB wraps his right arm around Kris in a quick embrace ... before basically using her like a stripper pole to spin around and say a word to Kim.

Chris Brown's baby mama drama is still going strong, it seems. He and Diamond Brown appear to be trashing each other on social media in the wake of her paternity suit.

On her Instagram story Monday, Diamond re-posted a video of TikToker William Last KRM lip-syncing to "Do You Ever Get Tired" -- an A.I.-generated song from King Willonius, who also generated the infamous "BBL Drizzy" sample.

The lyrics go ... "I got a question 'cause I really need to know, do you ever get tired of being a bitch-ass n****?"

An hour later, CB shared a story of his own, writing ... "Once you're an opp, this s*** don't stop!" The text appears alongside the lyrics of Crime Mob's "Knuck If You Buck."

The Met Gala 2026 carpet brought the glam … and then it brought the "Wait, WTF is that?!" Because for every jaw-dropping slay, there was a look that had us at a loss for words in a totally different way.

Some stars nailed the theme at The Metropolitan Museum of Art Monday night … others left us confused -- from Jordan Roth and Heidi Klum to Gwendoline Christie and Olivia Wilde.

Either way, they got our attention -- and honestly, that's the whole point. These are the looks that didn't just turn heads ... they had Joan Rivers rolling in her grave.

Lindsie Chrisley's ex-boyfriend David Landsman is begging the court for his own temporary restraining order against her -- days after she got one against him ... TMZ has learned.

In his petition, obtained by TMZ, David presents a much different version of events on what went down on April 10, the day he was arrested for assault.

David said they had a verbal fight, which led to her packing her things. He claims he told her not to contact him, which led to her allegedly punching him in the face.

The Met Gala might not have an official end time ... but these stars knew when it was time to pack up and head out to the after-party.

Big-time stars left The Metropolitan Museum of Art Monday night and headed for a couple parties thrown by major brands ... celebs like Hailey Bieber, Tessa Thompson, and Charli XCX kept the vibes high at the Saint Laurent after-party at People's Bar in Manhattan.

Blue Ivy Carter and Sunday Rose Kidman Urban turned the Met Gala into a little bit of a rule-bending family affair ... and fashion's biggest night didn't seem mad about it.

The 2026 carpet was supposed to be strictly 18-plus -- a rule that's been in place since 2018 -- but somehow, these two high-profile teens slipped past the velvet rope ... and did it in serious style!

Leading the charge was 14-year-old Blue Ivy, who made her official Met Gala debut alongside her superstar parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Blue didn't just show up ... she showed out, rocking a cream strapless Balenciaga gown, plus gold heels, diamonds and a cropped bomber jacket draped off her shoulders like she's been doing this for years.

Let's not kid ourselves ... 14-year-olds aren't supposed to touch this carpet. The 18-and-up rule is simple, unless you have a workaround ... show up with A-list parents. And for Blue, one of them was basically running the whole thing.

The Met Gala red carpet is officially on and the early arrivals are already going full main character.

The Carters are in the house ... Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Blue Ivy made the gala a family affair ... and they look stunning.

Sabrina Carpenter arrived wearing all black in Hollywood glam. Gigi Hadid showed up in a sheer, dark gray gown as she shows off her bare back and bum while glistening in the carpet lighting. Amanda Seyfried and Connor Storrie also made their respected cameos. Amanda in a blush pink, floor-length maxi dress paired with a dazzling necklace to brighten the look. Connor making his Met Gala debut in an all-black moment, serving up some shoulders with a polka-dotted halter top that trails behind as he takes his first steps.

Madonna arrived wearing a dramatic pirate inspired hat and a brass trumpet, accompanied by women in sheer blindfolds who highlight her look.

Earlier on ... Cara Delevingne, Bill Skarsgård, and Lauren Sánchez Bezos were some of the first to arrive. Cara stunned in a sleek black gown with a sheer, trailing back that turned the museum steps into her runway, while Skarsgård brought his signature edge to the carpet, wearing a suit with a double-breasted trench coat. Sánchez Bezos showed up in a strapless navy gown dripping with jeweled shoulder details.

Inside fashion's biggest night, stars are dressing to the dress code "Fashion Is Art" -- the theme is "Costume Art" -- celebrating the Met's "Costume Art" exhibition.

Samuel Monroe Jr.'s medical battle isn't over ... but for the first time in weeks, there are some signs of hope.

The "Menace II Society" actor -- who's been fighting for his life in an L.A. hospital -- is suddenly showing meaningful improvements amid a brutal health crisis that had his family fearing the worst.

Shawna Stewart, Samuel's wife, tells TMZ ... as of Sunday, doctors were able to stop the dialysis ... because his kidneys are tremendously improving. The doctors were also able to stop blood pressure medication, thanks to his levels finally looking better.

Kylie Jenner might be regretting her no eyebrow Met Gala look ... 'cause she says her brows are now ruined!

The makeup connoisseur documented her glam squad trying to dye her eyebrows back to black after she opted to bleach them to go with her custom Schiaparelli gown Monday night. Look at her IG clip -- she's cracking up as she says her "brows are ruined" and "this looks horrible."

Someone off-camera even accuses her hairstylist, Iggy Rosales, of leaving her "with no hair" -- but it's all clearly fun and games. And ... we're sure her makeup skills will have her eyebrows looking like nothin' even happened!

"General Hospital" star Steve Burton is back in court with his ex-wife Sheree Burton -- claiming she is interfering with his custodial time with their 11-year-old daughter -- TMZ has learned.

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, Steve is asking a judge for help getting Sheree to comply with their custody settlement. He says they share joint legal and physical custody from their divorce judgment back in 2023.

The soap star says Sheree has refused to honor the deal by refusing to give him their daughter, Brooklyn, in July. He said his ex has "engaged in a pattern of unilateral decision making and deliberate obstruction that has effectively stripped Steve of his court-ordered parenting time.”

"Vanderpump Villa" star Marciano Brunette is making moves to get his hands on unaired 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' footage ... to help prove his case against cast member Demi Engemann and the production company that made the show.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Marciano is fighting the effort of Jeff Jenkins Productions -- the producers behind 'Mormon Wives' -- to have his defamation lawsuit thrown out of court.

Marciano said he's been asking producers to fork over the unaired show footage related to Demi's allegations of sexual assault. In addition, he wants to see the producers' internal communications about the sexual assault narrative and its editorial decisions.

Marciano insists there's no way his lawsuit should be kicked out on summary judgment before he has a chance to see all the evidence the producers have in their possession, which might be relevant to proving his case.
