Controversial S#!T

Angelina Jolie's career is like her ex-husband's famous flick ... a case of professional Benjamin Button Syndrome -- 'cause she says she's getting better jobs as she gets older.

The actress sat down for an interview with The Times -- published Saturday -- and, she says that though many actresses will say they get less desirable roles as they age, she doesn't feel the same.

Angelina says, "I’ve got better work as I’ve got older. I don’t think about it in terms of roles offered but in terms of life experience you contribute."

Kacey Musgraves' show Friday night wasn't all 'Butterflies' and 'Rainbows' ... 'cause a fan grabbed her mid-song -- and, video shows she was pretty pissed.

The singer-songwriter brought her "Deeper Well" world tour to the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida ... performing her hits to a packed crowd, when she got a little too close to an overeager fan.

Watch the clip ... KM's in the middle of playing a song when a fan reaches out and grabs her roughly -- basically spinning her around.

It looks like Lil Xan didn't get away unscathed after he roughed up a concertgoer last week ... 'cause it appears the rapper got body-slammed right afterward.

In exclusive video obtained by TMZ ... LX can be seen being whisked away and thrown to the ground by a larger dude ... not long after he threw a mic at a man in the audience before kicking him in the face.

It is unclear if the guy who threw Lil Xan to the ground was security ... but whoever he was, it was clear he wasn't putting up with any nonsense.

The Matt Eberflus era is over in Chicago -- the Bears just fired the guy in his third year with the team ... marking the first in-season head coaching move in franchise history.

The news broke on Friday ... less than 24 hours after the Bears' sixth-straight loss at the hands of the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving Day -- a result that was met with heavy criticism.

With the ball and down 23-20 in the final minute of the game, Eberflus elected not to use a timeout to stop the clock ... and Chicago's late push came up short.

A trigger warning about "Wicked" has people in a tornado-like rage ... with many decrying the warning about discrimination against people with green skin.

Here's the deal ... the British Board of Film Classification reviews movies with a set of criteria -- telling parents if there is nudity, violence, injuries -- and, discrimination, among other categories.

For "Wicked," the section reads "A green-skinned woman is mocked, bullied and humiliated because of her skin color. A disabled woman in a wheelchair is treated in a condescending manner by able-bodied people. Talking animals are persecuted in a fantastical society."

Taylor Swift got an apology from Billboard for the way it honored her ... sounds weird, right?

As we reported, T.S. was named second Greatest Pop Star of the 21st Century by Billboard. Thing is ... Billboard included a video celebrating her career, and in that vid there's a shot of Taylor in the nude -- quick clarification ... it's not Taylor, it's a wax figure courtesy of her nemesis.

You may remember back in 2016, Kanye did a whole thing for his "Famous" video ... with celebrity wax figures in the nude, including Taylor. People were pissed off back then -- especially the celebs he featured -- so it seemed that video was destined for deep archives.

Danny Trejo doesn't think Donald Trump's deportation dream is going to be a reality ... 'cause the U.S. government doesn't have the resources to carry it out.

Elon Musk's using a movie reference to roast Ben Stiller ... but, he's got some up in arms over his choice of using an offensive slur.

Here's the deal ... Elon shared a post on X of someone bashing Ben for saying wokeness is killing edgier comedy and endorsing Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in this year's election.

This other post compared Ben to Simple Jack ... a reference to a character Stiller portrays in the 2008 satirical movie "Tropic Thunder."

Donald Trump's incoming appointees are already receiving vicious backlash from some in the country ... with nearly a dozen incoming members of the team receiving violent threats, according to the campaign.

The Trump-Vance transition team announced the news Wednesday morning ... sharing a press release about the "vicious, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them.

The statement explains some of these members received bomb threats ... while others were swatted in their homes instead.

Adam22 says Donald Trump should absolutely shake up the White House Press Briefing process by bringing podcasters into the mix ... a move he says would maintain Trump's stranglehold on the internet.

We got the "No Jumper" podcast host Tuesday near Van Nuys Airport and our photog asked him about one of the bigger stories of the day ... Trump mulling the possibility of adding podcast bros like the Nelk Boys to his daily press briefings.

Adam22 says the election already showed Trump knows how to use the podcast circuit and the power of the internet to his advantage ... saying the views Trump got on Joe Rogan alone outshine anything Kamala Harris did with traditional news outlets.

Charles Barkley is making it clear -- he hates the way the Lakers are handling Bronny James' rookie season ... calling it flat-out "stupid."

Justin Trudeau's not living in a love story with some Canadian citizens right now ... 'cause while he busted a few moves at Taylor Swift's Toronto concert, Montreal experienced some pretty scary rioting.

Here's the deal ... just as JT was singing his heart out and dancing with a few people in Rogers Centre Friday night, pro-Palestine protests evolved into full-scale rioting as people in masks bashed windows with hammers and lit cars on fire.

The videos are harrowing ... and, many people are calling out Trudeau for taking the night off while Montreal appeared overrun with protesters.

Patrick Mahomes got a big penalty for a game, but not for a play ... as far as the refs were concerned, it was way more ominous.

Mahomes had just thrown a touchdown pass and decided to celebrate by using his fingers to mimic the firing of a gun.
