Kristi Noem's calling for a new travel ban for unnamed countries in a harsh social media post citing her personal criteria for who should and shouldn't be able to enter the country.

The Homeland Security Secretary posted on her personal X account Monday saying she met with President Donald Trump.

Noem called for a ban on incoming travelers from countries she accuses of "flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies." She didn't name any nations.

Noem claimed founders of the U.S. didn't intend for "foreign invaders" to enter the country and "slaughter our heroes" ... which could be a reference to the shooting of two National Guard troops in D.C. the day before Thanksgiving last week. The tweet ends with an isolationist statement ... "WE DON'T WANT THEM. NOT ONE."

Gwendoline Christie’s always serving high-fashion drama... but this time the drama fought back -- landing her in a hilariously hair-raising mess that nearly stalled her whole evening!

Check out the pics from Sunday night -- the "Game of Thrones" queen arrived in a frizzy, larger-than-life blonde wig for the 2025 Fashion Awards... stunning on the red carpet, not so graceful when all 6-feet-3-inches of her (plus that amplified wig altitude) tried squeezing into a cab.

The wig was loud, wild, and doing the most... turning her attempt to get into a cab into a full-on operation.

"Full House" star Dave Coulier has been diagnosed with yet another type of cancer ... but he says early detection probably saved his life.

The 66-year-old actor told "Today" he has p16 squamous carcinoma -- a cancer of the head and neck. This comes just months after he beat stage 3 non-Hodgkin Lymphoma -- a cancer of the blood.

He told host Craig Melvin the 2 illnesses have nothing to do with each other.

Brianna's mother, Stephanie Rodriguez, told KSAT she's not satisfied with answers she's gotten from the Austin Police Department. She said her daughter stopped answering her phone after the game, though she could see it pinging in Austin. Brianna was found about 1 AM Saturday ... Rodriguez was informed by police at 4 PM her daughter's body was in the morgue.

Check out the clip from Old Mates Pub -- Hugh and Kate belting "Sweet Caroline" like karaoke pros, leading the tipsy crowd in a singalong … fresh off accepting the 2025 Gotham Awards’ first-ever Musical Tribute for their flick "Song Sung Blue."

The song choice was spot-on -- it’s Neil Diamond, after all ... the very man at the center of "Song Sung Blue," the film that scored them the award.

Tom Brady heard 198 names before his in 2000 ... but his niece, Maya, didn't have to wait at all to have hers called on Monday -- 'cause the former UCLA star went No. 1 overall!!

The Athletes Unlimited Softball League held its expansion draft as it grows to six teams before next season ... and the Oklahoma City Spark had first dibs on a handful of unprotected players from the original four franchises.

Ric Flair is expressing his regret over speaking on Hulk Hogan's death ... saying he "should have never mentioned it" after the wrestling icon's wife disputed the information he shared on a podcast.

The Nature Boy went to X to address TMZ Sports' story on the matter ... in which Hulk's widow, Sky, told us Flair's claim that "street drugs" killed Hogan was simply untrue.

"Okay Sky!" Flair said Monday night. "I Got Bad Information According To You. I Should Have Never Mentioned It."

Rihanna may have been wearing a dress Monday night, but it's clear she wears the pants in her relationship with A$AP Rocky!

Check out the clip we got of the singer and her other half at last night's Gotham Awards in New York City ... she tells A$AP she's heading to the exit, but he seems caught up in the crowd and extends his hand out to her.

La Toya Jackson is sparking health concerns among some of her fans after showing off her rail-thin body on Instagram.

The singer posted a series of IG pics Monday, in which she posed in skintight black pants and a form-fitting red top with gold stilettos. La Toya's figure-hugging outfit put her ultra-thin frame on full display, especially when she turned to the side in one of the photos.

In the caption, La Toya wished her fans a "happy Monday" and a "fabulous week," while also telling them to stay safe and healthy with "much love to you all!😘.”

Amy Schumer is dismissing the gossip that she and Chris Fischer are dunzo in the most Amy way -- a no-BS Instagram post.

Check out the video she shared on her page Monday ... it's a house tour her 6-year-old son Gene filmed with text overlay to address the recent chatter. She immediately brings up her recent ringless IG pics, noting ... "I never wear jewelry."

At another spot on the video, she cheekily adds ... "Whatever ends up happening with Chris has nothing to do with weight loss or autism … fingers crossed we can make it through … he’s the best."

Miley Cyrus can buy herself flowers, but she might not have to ... 'cause she has fans convinced she's engaged to Maxx Morando.

The "Wrecking Ball" hitmaker had fans chatting after arriving at the "Avatar: Fire and Ash" world premiere in Los Angeles on Monday with a diamond ring on that finger.

The sparkler -- set in a thick gold band -- couldn't be missed as she rested her left hand on the musician's chest as they posed on the red carpet.

Famed skateboarder Terry Kennedy -- who's behind bars, serving a 5-year prison sentence for an assault that resulted in the death of fellow skater Josiah Kassahun -- is scheduled to be released at the end of the month, TMZ Sports has learned.

The Illinois Department of Corrections tells us that Kennedy, who is 40 years old, "was eligible for and received sentence credit" ... meaning his release date was pushed up, and he'll walk out of the slammer on December 31, 2025, just in time for New Year's Eve.

We're told TK will remain on supervised release until June 30, 2026, at which point he is scheduled to be fully discharged.

Awards season is picking up with the 2025 Gotham Awards ... and a bunch of huge stars turned up for the occasion ... with Rihanna and A$AP Rocky leading the way.

The award show is going down right now in New York City, and Hollywood is celebrating the best independent projects in film and television ... meaning this year's crop of blockbusters are not at the forefront of people's minds.

But, star power is not lacking at the Gotham Awards ... there's a bunch of famous couples, like Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, plus Adam and Jackie Sandler ... though neither is quite on RiRi and A$AP's level. Sorry.

The Game got on his soap box at his birthday party ... grabbing the mic and telling the world to free Diddy and R. Kelly ... and then he started talking baby oil and urination ... and it's all on video.

The Game gets bolder and bolder as he spouts off into the mic ... making light of all the baby oil and urination aspects of the Diddy and Kelly trials ... as some R. Kelly music starts to play.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan's divorce settlement wasn't public, but now we've got a financial nugget from how it all played out ... they're getting a chunk of the other's retirement plans.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Channing and Jenna signed off on a 50 percent split of the other's retirement benefits from the Screen Actors Guild-Producers Pension Plan.

It's unclear how much that slice of the pie is actually worth ... but the docs say the retirement benefits are calculated by dividing pension credit earned during their 2009 to 2018 marriage by total pension credit earned.
