Controversial S#!T

Tom Hanks stirred the pot as he stepped into character for 'SNL's 50th anniversary special -- but his portrayal of a Trump supporter didn’t land well across the board.

The Oscar winner took on the MAGA-hat-wearing role of Doug in a 'Black Jeopardy' skit, where his character preached the world would be better if more people went to church.

When game show host Darnell Hayes -- Kenan Thompson -- went in for a handshake, Doug pulled back, saying, "Don’t like that, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

The NBA's new All-Star Game format took a ton of heat on Sunday night ... including from Warriors superstar Draymond Green, who said on live TV the event straight up "sucks."

Adam Silver's new look for this year's midseason showcase featured a mini-tournament of four teams playing in three games -- instead of the traditional one-contest exhibition -- and from the jump, there weren't many who were happily vocal about the way it was going down.

Hoop heads clowned it all on X throughout the evening ... and when Green -- a four-time All-Star who was helping broadcast this year's iteration for TNT -- was asked for his thoughts, he held nothing back.

5:00 PM PT -- Blake and Ryan kept their fun weekend going on Sunday ... stopping by "SNL 50" to show love for the sketch comedy show they've both previously hosted.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds might be in the middle of some legal drama, but they're still finding time to celebrate ... showing up to Chris Rock's birthday party and taking a pic with a controversial comic actor.

Elon Musk's daughter's poking fun at her strained relationship with her dad ... releasing a clip about claims that she has a new half sibling -- and, sharing how she found out the news.

Vivian Jenna Wilson -- Elon's 21-year-old daughter with his first ex-wife, Justine Wilson -- posted to TikTok this weekend about the alleged child Ashley St. Clair swears is the tech mogul's.

Watch the clip ... Vivian mouths along to audio from the TV show "Phineas and Ferb" -- basically saying that it's strange she's now learned about two new siblings from Reddit instead of her own family.

Kanye West's taking a break from his usual online tirades to celebrate a fellow rapper ... 'cause the self-proclaimed "Nazi" just shouted out Drake's new song.

The rapper took to X Saturday to laud praise on Drizzy ... specifically his new "Gimme A Hug" track -- the song where Drake touched on his rap feud with mortal hip hop enemy Kendrick Lamar.

Ye wrote, "Gimme a hug is incredible. Sheeeeeeesh" -- not exactly the most descriptive review ... but, definitely a positive one from the controversial rapper.

Brandon Aiyuk's a speed demon on the gridiron ... but, he had to go very slow earlier this week -- 'cause a cop pulled him over in a new car thinking he may have stolen it.

Here's the deal ... Aiyuk recently purchased a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk -- an SUV valued at around $90K. He drove it straight off the truck, and he says within two miles a cop pulled him over.

Aiyuk filmed his chat with the cop ... who mentions the wide receiver was cited for driving unregistered Dodge Chargers in California -- cars the officer says are routinely a target for thieves.

Controversial TikTok Star Joshua Block just had a major breakdown in Japan ... and his erratic behavior got so bad, police had to get involved.

In video obtained by TMZ ... Joshua -- AKA “World of T-Shirts," who has a following of nearly 4 million -- can be seen screaming incoherently on the street before he repeatedly smashes his face into a wall.

What appears to be his pals grab him and try to make him stop before he really hurts himself ... as JB keeps yelling.

Bill Maher has interesting guest fellows -- case in point, Kid Rock, who called out Jay-Z and the NFL for a Halftime show for being pretty much exclusionary -- of white entertainers.

Kid came out of the gate saying Kendrick Lamar wasn't his cup of tea, but he has mad respect for him because he's unapologetic about his craft. Kendrick doesn't care if a swath of the country isn't into him or even doesn't like him ... he does what he does, just like K.R. Kid Rock celebrated Kendrick, saying he doesn't give a "frog's fat ass" what people think.

But, then things turned ... Kid Rock said were it not for Colin Kaepernick taking a knee, Kendrick would never have ended up center stage at the Super Bowl.

The first cut may be the deepest ... but the last straw has Sheryl Crow pawning off her Elon Musk-co-founded Tesla.

The singer posted a vid to Instagram of her waving Sayonara to her Tesla -- saying, "My parents always said... you are who you hang with."

Crow continued, "There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla."

The White House is spreading a message of love on Valentine's Day ... unless you're an undocumented immigrant -- in which case, the president ain't got a soft spot for you.

The official account for the White House just posted a V-Day card with its nearly eight million followers ... featuring Donald Trump's head, and the head of Tom Homan -- the "border czar" appointed by Trump to handle immigration back in November.

The two heads appear on a field of pink with tiny hearts scattered in the background ... and the rhyme "Roses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally, and we'll deport you" written on top.

Teddi Mellencamp is getting sympathy from lots of folks as a result of her brain tumors, but she's still getting dragged to court by a former housekeeper ... who says the reality TV star is a bona fide racist.

The former "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star is being sued by a woman named Julia Umana ... who claims she worked as a live-in nanny and housekeeper for Teddi. Umana claims Teddy treated her more poorly than any other celebrity boss.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Umana claims Teddi made her employment a living hell by abusing power, shorting paychecks, creating a hostile work environment and engaging in racial discrimination and harassment.

Bill Burr doesn't want to eat the rich ... but he does want to kill them.

The comedian went off on billionaires in a recent podcast episode, comparing them to rabid dogs who need to be put down.

Bill made the comments on his "Monday Morning Podcast" ... blaming billionaires for dividing the country, hoarding all the wealth and creating a situation where working people can't afford rent and need two jobs just to stay afloat.

Hilary Duff and her husband Matthew Koma are changing the lives of Holocaust survivors ... 'cause the money from "F*** Ye" T-shirts they're selling is going to help survivors get mental health treatment.

We spoke with Masha Pearl, Executive Director of The Blue Card -- an organization that prioritizes helping survivors of the Holocaust connect with resources they desperately need.

Pearl says Koma's making good on his promise to donate the proceeds from the shirts to the charity ... and, she says she's super thankful he and his actress wife are jumping into the fray to fight antisemitism.

Senate hearings sometimes look like WWE matches ... and Linda McMahon's confirmation hearing on Thursday was no exception, 'cause Stephanie McMahon and Triple H were in the building to support the Secretary of Education hopeful on Capitol Hill!

McMahon was in D.C. to answer questions from U.S. Senators ... as she hopes to soon be confirmed as President Donald Trump's Secretary of Education.

Seated behind Linda was her daughter, Stephanie, and son-in-law, WWE executive and Hall of Famer, Triple H. McMahon's son, Shane McMahon, was also there.

President Trump is sending a strong message to the media ... kiss my executive orders, or pay the price -- and his press secretary is laying down the law in no uncertain terms.

Sounding very much like the new sheriff in town, Karoline Leavitt barked at reporters Wednesday when someone raised the topic of the administration pulling the Associated Press' access to the Oval Office, because the outlet still refers to the Gulf of Mexico by that label, and not the one POTUS decreed in one of his first executive orders.

Leavitt said, "I was very upfront in my briefing on day 1. If we feel that there are lies being pushed by outlets in this room, we are going to hold those lies accountable."

Kanye West's biggest haters and supporters are waging a merchandise war in a global online marketplace ... and it's all been set off by his controversial swastika shirt.

The messy scene is playing out right now on Etsy, where the anti-Kanye crowd is giving Ye the finger with some new gear ... while his stans are combining his name with a hate symbol, and slapping it on merch.

The deepfake video showing celebs wearing shirts emblazoned with a Jewish Star of David drawn on the back of a hand giving the bird to "Kanye" is providing some inspiration here ... someone took the idea and ran with it, copying the shirt from the A.I. video and hawking it online.
