Controversial S#!T

Royce White says he's testing out his new look before next year's WNBA draft ... throwing on a wig and embracing his "feminine era."

The former NBA player who announced he's throwing his hat in the ring for the 2027 WNBA draft shared the pic on X ... rocking the hair piece and a serious expression.

In his caption, Royce wrote he's glad the wig showed up on Saturday ... so he could "test it on the court" Sunday as his "feminine era" truly begins.

Ex-NBA player Royce White has announced he's transgender and plans to declare for the 2027 WNBA Draft ... making him the second former pro to do so within a day.

Check it out -- the former pro baller explained it loud and clear during a Friday interview with Fox News, saying ... "I’m transgender ... I identify as sometimes identifying as a woman for purposes of professional basketball, so I will be declaring for the WNBA draft in 2027 as well."

Royce played 3 official NBA games during the 2013-14 season with the Sacramento Kings and is currently a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate.

The former Miss North Carolina USA 2026 has spoken out after she was stripped of her title after she allegedly said the n-word online -- and she firmly believes she was targeted for her conservative Christian views.

Brittany Boltinhouse sat down with Carolina Journal editor-in-chief Donna King in an interview published Friday ... and she put it simply, stating ... "I believe and think I was stripped from my title because of my political stance and my belief system as a conservative Christian woman."

The pageant queen noted she is a Mormon and added, "I’m proud of my standards. I’m a proud conservative woman, but a Christian woman. I’m a God-fearing woman."

Matt Rife may want to think of a different comeback ... because he allegedly told a different person on the internet to kill herself during the same argument in which he told a paranormal expert with autism to "remove yourself from this Earth."

More screengrabs, which apparently show the comedian's war of words with members of the ghost hunting community, feature one social media user claiming Matt told her to "unalive" herself at least twice.

Matt seemingly responded by telling her to stop being a jerk, and he'd stop ... before adding, "yes, it's okay - a**holes shouldn't be here. Period. You're mad at me for defending myself- that's psychotic."

Matt Rife may not be a specter or spirit -- but he's now in the crosshairs of the ghost hunting community ... because he told a paranormal expert with autism to kill himself.

Here's the deal ... Matt and his collaborator, Elton Castee, posted on Instagram an upcoming event at the Haunted Warren Museum -- a paranormal spot the pair purchased last year that's best known for housing the demon doll Annabelle.

Self-described P.I. -- that's "paranormal investigator" in this case -- Chris Mac responded to the post by giving an online sermon on the Salem Witch Trials ... which for reasons unknown led Matt to rip into the "lifeless douchebag" by saying, "please remove yourself from this earth."

Universal Studios Hollywood guests are being urged to check their vaccination status after a person infected with measles visited the theme park last month ... potentially putting others at risk.

The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health says the infected visitor was at Universal on July 26. Anyone who was inside the park from 10 AM to 9 PM that day is being advised to make sure they’re protected and watch closely for possible symptoms through August 16.

A Universal Studios Hollywood spokesperson tells TMZ ... "The safety and security of our guests and team members is our highest priority. We were recently made aware that a guest with a confirmed case of measles visited Los Angeles County, including our theme park, on July 26, 2026. We are working with the Department of Public Health and are following their guidance."

"Big Brother 28" housemate Lyric Medeiros has no shame after admitting she urinates in the shower.

Lyric's unsanitary confession to fellow housemate Mallory Aurichio was caught on the show's live feeds Wednesday ... and it's not like it was a one-time thing -- she said she's peed every single time she's showered at the house.

She bluntly added ... "And I don't feel bad about it -- not even a little bit."

A Florida man allegedly stole a teddy bear containing his ex-girlfriend's late son's ashes after she ended their three-week relationship ... and now he’s facing multiple felonies.

Investigators say he continued contacting her and turning up at her hotel, workplace and a restaurant where she was eating with a friend, despite her telling him to stop.

Thanksgiving is still on the calendar ... but Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong can't say whether she wants it to stay there.

CNN's Kaitlan Collins asked the Democratic socialist Monday if she still believes the holiday should be canceled -- and Hong cooked up a 46-second response without ever serving a yes or no.

Hong leaned on her background as a chef and restaurant owner, saying bringing people around a table is "always a good thing" ... but added Thanksgiving is "incredibly painful" for many communities.

Collins raised the issue because Hong called for Thanksgiving to be scrapped in a since-deleted 2021 post, writing ... "Cancel Thanksgiving. Should have done this in 1621."

Shots fired between Megyn Kelly and Dave Portnoy ... they're locked in a social media scrap over Caitlin Clark's stance -- or lack thereof -- about transgender athletes in women's sports.

Here's the deal ... the WNBA superstar got feisty with a reporter who asked her thoughts on teammate Sophie Cunningham's controversial comments against "biological men" competing against young girls in sports. Basically, Caitlin gave a non-answer and, when pressed, told the reporter to kick rocks.

Megyn, the ultra-conservative media personality, blasted Caitlin as a "coward" for dodging the question ... and in rode Portnoy to defend CC ... saying, "Absolute moron/idiot to call Caitlin a coward for this answer. 1st of all, you don't even know how she feels on this issue and more importantly, she doesn't owe it to you or anybody else to be your political talking point."

Linda Blair's no-kill dog shelter received a recent visit from a horde of law enforcement over possible code violations, and they say they discovered over 250 dogs ... and now we're getting a look at the kennel in question.

Drone footage shows Linda's sprawling compound ... and the grounds are mostly filled with fenced in kennels full of dogs of all different breeds. Linda's got trees dotting her property, and it looks like she strung up some tarps to try and provide more shaded areas.

TMZ broke the story ... an "investigative warrant" was executed Friday to search Linda's shelter because permits for the 2 1/2-acre kennel apparently expired in 2023 -- and authorities say Blair ignored 24 attempts to contact her. During their search "to ensure animal welfare and check code violations," ... authorities say they discovered a staggering 251 dogs.

"The Exorcist" star downplayed the situation in a Facebook video -- but neighbors told TMZ they've had concerns for years over her shelter housing way too many dogs ... and they believe animals may be suffering as a result.

A Houston funeral home operator accused of stealing a dead man's multimillion-dollar estate is going viral ... and it's her mouth getting all the attention.

Caitlin Clark is finally addressing her teammate Sophie Cunningham's controversial comments on trans athletes in women's sports ... and she's getting feisty with reporters.

Caitlin was asked about Sophie coming out against "biological men" competing against young girls in sports ... and the Indiana Fever star snapped at the journalist who dared to ask a follow-up to her non-answer.

Caitlin was asked about Sophie's stance after Sunday's 108-100 loss to the Minnesota Lynx ... she didn't pick sides, said it was above her pay-grade, claimed it wasn't a topic in the locker room and said she was only focused on winning WNBA games.

When the reporter pressed for more, Caitlin shut him down ... and you can feel the tension in video from their exchange.

Boy George is bowing out of the upcoming London production of "Jesus Christ Superstar" ... just days after releasing a pro-Israel song, which is getting tons of heat online.

The singer's manager, Paul Kemsley, announced the change on social media, saying the decision was made "with the utmost respect" for the show's producers, creative team and cast, while also apologizing to fans who had purchased tickets expecting to see the Culture Club frontman perform.

Paul went on ... "George has never been afraid to stand by his personal convictions, and I have always respected him for that. Equally, I believe it is my responsibility to make decisions that are in the best interests of my artist while also showing respect to others."

Kamu Kirk -- a housemate on season 28 of "Big Brother" -- is catching flak online over a viral video where he jokes about George Floyd.

Here's the deal ... back in December, Kamu shared several videos where he filmed a dude being arrested outside his residence while screaming bloody murder.

During the high-pitch screams for help -- it sounds like the person being arrested is alleging police mistreatment -- Kamu says, "I can't breathe, I can't breathe, I can't breathe. Bro thinks he's George Floyd."

The video recently resurfaced and is now going viral ... for all the wrong reasons.

Nolan Wells' father says one of the young men calling himself Nolan's "best friend" is no friend at all ... 'cause he doesn't even recognize the kid.

Elmore says Tracestin wasn't a friend of Nolan's as far as he's concerned, summing it up like this ... "Just because you parked your vehicle in someone's yard doesn't mean that they have to know you."
