Travis Kelce has finally publicly addressed Taylor Swift's new song about his penis ... and the Chiefs tight end got a little stiff when talking about the tune.

Jason Kelce was actually the one who got the footballer to open up on "Wood" during Wednesday's episode of "New Heights" -- and while Travis said he liked it, he was quite shy when pressed to give further comment.

Jason, though, had no problems giving his take on the track -- even joking that if someone wrote a song about his junk ... it certainly wouldn't include the line, "Redwood tree, it ain't hard to see."

Whoopsie! Dolly Parton's sister Freida says she didn't mean to start a panic Tuesday over Dolly's health ... because the music legend is expected to be just fine.

After freaking out some fans on Facebook Tuesday, Freida later posted ... "I want to clear something up. I didn't mean to scare anyone or make it sound so serious when asking for prayers for Dolly. She's been a little under the weather, and I simply asked for prayers because I believe so strongly in the power of prayer. It was nothing more than a little sister asking for prayers for her big sister. Thank you all for lifting her up. Your love truly makes a difference."

Freida, 68, put fans on edge about Dolly, 79, after hopping on Facebook earlier Tuesday, writing ... "Last night, I was up all night praying for my sister, Dolly. Many of you know she hasn't been feeling her best lately. I truly believe in the power of prayer, and I have been lead to ask all of the world that loves her to be prayer warriors and pray with me."

Nicole Kidman just served divorce drama on a silver platter ... striking the American Vogue cover like a woman who needs no man, and wants everyone to know it!

The statuesque actress flexed her frame in Saint Laurent on the cover -- with a spread packed with other big-name fashion -- showing her fully in her element ... though the interviewer admits, they kinda saw the divorce tea brewing mid-chat, even before anyone else did!

Journalist Wendell Steavenson said she held back when she sensed trouble in Nicole’s marriage ... a huge clue came when she asked Kidman about life in her 50s. She said Nicole  wondered aloud, "How many times do you have to be taught that you think you know where your life is going and then it isn’t going in that direction?"

Twitch streamer Fandy gave blood, sweat and tears to her fans ... live streaming as she gave birth to her baby!

The broadcast went totally viral as tens of thousands of viewers tuned in for the life event ... an audience that seems to have included Twitch CEO Dan Clancy, who delivered a surprise message -- writing, “Fandy, best of luck and congratulations. Wishing you the best in this journey."

This is Fandy's first child with husband Adamax. The child's name is Luna.

Raja Jackson has been hit with multiple criminal charges -- including one felony -- over his violent attack on Syko Stu earlier this summer.

Court records TMZ Sports has obtained show Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's son was formally charged in Los Angeles County on Tuesday with one felony count of battery with great bodily injury and one misdemeanor count of battery on a person.

Raja -- who's facing up to seven years behind bars if convicted on the felony count and six additional months if convicted on the misdemeanor -- is due in court for arraignment later this week.

Francia Raisa just slammed the brakes on years of feud rumors with one heartfelt gush ... saying how happy she is for Selena Gomez amid all her marital bliss.

Just days before Selena said "I do" to Benny, Francia spilled in an interview with Univision's Magaly Ortiz ... gushing in Spanish that Selena’s living her best life, already a billionaire ... and Francia’s just grateful she helped make it all happen for her with a life-saving kidney donation during Selena’s lupus battle back in 2017.

Francia also squashed the feud chatter ... despite reports, she was never angry with Selena about allegedly smoking cigarettes after the surgery, and says maybe one day Selena will set the record straight herself ... but honestly, no biggie!

Bad Bunny has ruffled lotsa feathers on the conservative right ... and the list now includes House Speaker Mike Johnson, who thinks the singing sensation is bad for the Super Bowl -- and for kids!

Johnson gave his take on Bunny to reporters outside the House chambers in D.C. Tuesday ... and it might shock some of you to hear what the speaker had to say.

The Republican Congressman from Louisiana kicked things off telling journalists he didn't even know who Bunny was before the whole Super Bowl kerfuffle.

Everyone's talkin' about Bad Bunny performing at next year's Super Bowl ... but the artist made a cameo at Tuesday night's New York Yankees game -- and got a little souvenir.

Bunny and his buddies took a trip to The Bronx for Game 3 of the American League Divisional Round matchup between the Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays -- and the popular Puerto Rican singer snagged a foul ball!

Here's the wind-up ... Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Santander was at the plate during the third inning when he hit a ball thrown by Yankees pitcher Carlos Rodon into the stands.

Kristi Noem is now taking direct aim at Zach Bryan over his new song criticizing ICE raids ... calling the track "disrespectful" to the United States.

The Homeland Security Secretary told conservative podcaster Benny Johnson she's listened to the snippet of Bryan's song -- where he sings ICE has plans to "bust down your door" -- saying ... "I hope he understands how completely disrespectful that song is, not just to law enforcement but to this country."

She goes on to say ... "To every single individual that has stood up and fought for our freedoms. He just compromised it all by putting out a product such as that, that attacks individuals who are just trying to make our streets safe.”

Taylor Swift is keeping her Showgirl sparkle going strong ... stepping out in New York City for dinner during her whirlwind press tour for her new album, The Life of a Showgirl.

The pop superstar was spotted Monday night at The Eighty Six in Manhattan rocking a preppy-chic fall look -- a plaid mini skirt paired with a fitted black long sleeve sweater and tall brown boots.

Swift was all smiles as she arrived at the restaurant, turning the sidewalk into the runway after days of interviews and surprise fan appearances promoting her 12th studio album.

Swift's The Life of a Showgirl dropped last Friday and is already smashing records across streaming platforms with fans praising the album's cinematic storytelling and unapologetically theatrical production.

4:26 PM PT -- A White House spokesperson Kush Desai tells TMZ ... “Kamala Harris should listen to an audio recording of her cackle of a laugh before calling anyone crazy.”

F-bombs away! Former Vice President Kamala Harris is going full auntie mode on her book tour ... seeming to give her political opponents a piece of her mind in no uncertain terms!

Kamala's been touring, promoting her new book, "107 Days," and Monday, she had some wise words for her audience ... "There's so much about this moment that is trying to make people feel like they've lost their minds ... When, in fact, these motherf***ers are crazy!"

The crowd absolutely ate it up, erupting in cheers and applause at what appeared to be quite the cathartic moment for both the former Vice President and the people in attendance at the "Day of Unreasonable Conversation" summit in Los Angeles Monday.

Even though Dwayne Johnson starred in "The Smashing Machine" ... the flick's definitely not smashing anything at the box office.

The sports biopic -- centered around the life of former MMA fighter Mark Kerr -- turned out to have The Rock's lowest-ever film opening, raking in an unremarkable $5.9 million over its opening weekend, according to Deadline.

What's interesting is the movie was actually forecast to bring in a pretty penny with its release, and it was supposed to be one of A24's biggest openings yet.

President Donald Trump is escalating a threat to involve the U.S. military in American cities, using a law that hasn't been activated in more three decades.

47 brought up the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act while speaking to reporters at the White House on Monday, and he claimed he'd go through with the invocation "if it was necessary," according to NBC News.

FYI ... the Insurrection Act of 1807 enables the president to deploy the military and federalize state National Guard forces in certain circumstances.

Denise Richards is doubling down on her claim that estranged husband Aaron Phypers roughed her up while she was recovering from a cosmetic procedure ... and now she's telling it to a judge.

Denise took the stand Tuesday to testify in a restraining order hearing against Aaron ... and she said he got violent with her back in May, after she had plastic surgery.

She told the judge Aaron was helping her recover from a procedure on her breast implants and a tummy tuck when he hit her in the head at the hotel where they were shacking up. She said Aaron hit her and demanded her phone.

Conor McGregor's going to be spending a bit more time outside of the octagon ... because he just got hit with an 18-month suspension through Combat Sports Anti-Doping, which is affiliated with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC).

The mixed-martial-arts (MMA) promotion company shared an announcement about The Notorious' time off through its official website on Tuesday, and it was revealed his suspension was due to "whereabouts failures" under its anti-doping policy -- in other words, he no-showed for an important test several times.

Athletes in the UFC are required to give the company accurate location information at all times so they can get tested -- at random intervals, of course.

Conor missed three tests, which were all scheduled to take place in June and September 2024. He apparently accepted responsibility for the no-shows, and he ended up having his suspension reduced by six months.

We should also note the professional fighter claims he was recovering from an injury and wasn't preparing for a match when the tests were supposed to have been taken.

Conor's period of ineligibility kicked off on September 20, 2024, when he was supposed to have his third of three tests, and it'll continue until March 20, 2026.

The athlete most recently fought in 2021, when he lost to Dustin Poirier. He was set to get back to the octagon in 2024, although he pulled out of his scheduled bout after suffering an injury during training.

Greta Thunberg claimed Israel is committing "genocide" against Palestinians after she landed in Athens, Greece, with more than 150 other activists on Monday.

Israel detained 479 people, including Thunberg, who were involved with the Global Sumud Flotilla, boats that attempted to pierce Israel's naval blockade in order to bring aid to Gaza, according to Reuters.

The Israeli government subsequently deported hundreds of individuals associated with the flotilla, and Thunberg was part of a group of 161, made up of people from 16 European countries, who were given the boot and sent to Athens, BBC News reports. Thunberg was similarly denied entry to Gaza and expelled, with others, in June.

Thunberg said the flotilla's main objective was to "step up" and provide aid to Gazans after various governments continue to refuse to do so.

Several activists involved in the flotilla alleged they were subject to inhumane conditions and treatment while they were detained in Israel. Some described sleep deprivation, food and water being withheld ... and even beatings, and being locked in a cage, Reuters reports. Israel's foreign ministry denied the reports.
