Hailey Bieber doesn't get why someone saying she looks like a transgender woman is an insult ... 'cause all she hears in that moment is someone calling her gorgeous!

The model joined actor Owen Thiele on his "In Your Dreams" podcast for an episode published Friday ... and she opened up about the very lame diss in her eyes ... admitting she doesn't get why people think they're knocking her when they call her trans.

HB points out that trans women and trans men are some of the most beautiful people in the world ... so, she takes the "attack" in stride. Sounds like internet trolls will need a new Rhode of attack to get at her.

The Trump administration has changed the White House website's official timeline of the building ... using it as an opportunity to dunk on the last three Democrats to live there.

Here's the deal ... there's a timeline on the White House's official website which lays out the different renovations -- from the building's initial construction at the end of the 18th century to President Donald Trump's newest project, a $250 million grand ballroom many Democrats are decrying.

However, several of the new additions aren't about the architecture at all, but instead what past presidents decided to do there ... beginning with a debrief on President Bill Clinton's cheating scandal with Monica Lewinsky, which resulted in his impeachment.

David Geffen's estranged husband has withdrawn his salacious civil lawsuit against the media mogul, and is choosing another course, which takes much of his enormous money demand off the table.

David Armstrong (AKA Donovan Michaels) filed his civil lawsuit back in July, alleging the 82-year-old billionaire targeted the 32-year-old, whose trauma was weaponized for Geffen's "personal gratification and public image."

Armstrong claims he gave up his modeling career after allegedly being promised Geffen would take care of him financially for life. The former couple did not have a prenup -- Armstrong says he's entitled to community property. We're told Geffen, who has been retired for 15 years, has no community income.

George Santos says he's taken inventory of his life after a nearly six-week stint in solitary ... and, he's got a new mission after President Trump commuted his sentence and set him free.

The former New York Congressman joined us on "TMZ Live" Monday ... and, he gave us the rundown on his time in the clink, which he says gave him a ton of time to think about his past mistakes -- especially while he spent 41 days in the special housing unit.

Santos says he's embarrassed by the lies he told and his own duplicitous nature ... and, he watched his whole life like a movie in his own head -- running through each and every mistake. During this time, Santos says he fell back on his own religion, and he thinks he's square with the big guy upstairs now.

Pedro Pascal popped up at the "No Kings" protest in Los Angeles over the weekend ... with a sharp message for President Trump.

The actor was pictured holding a sign depicting a drag queen giving a side eye to a throwback image of Trump with his first wife Ivana during Saturday's massive demonstration in downtown L.A.

"No Kings" was written across the top of the sign and "Only Queens" was scrawled across the bottom. Clearly, Pedro was making a statement about Trump's perceived authoritarian leadership while also showing his support for the LGBTQ community.

Snoop Dogg is no longer uncomfortable with gay couples being portrayed in children's movies -- and he even put some in his own children’s series!

The rapper teamed up with GLAAD Thursday for Spirit Day -- which is meant to show support for LGBTQ youth -- and he told "The Voice" contestant Jeremy Beloate in a promotional chat all about why he feels it's necessary to represent gay couples in his animated kids' show, "Doggyland."

Check out the video -- Snoop says he wants children to understand all families are special in their own unique ways, and that love has no bounds.

Ready for a revelation? Turns out, YouTubers Daniel Howell and Philip Lester -- better known as Dan and Phil -- are dating!

The pair announced the news about their love lives -- or is it love life? -- in a 46-minute-long video titled "Are Dan and Phil in a Relationship?" on their shared YouTube account ... and according to Phil, the answer is a very simple "yes."

Oh, and here's the kicker -- the two have actually been a couple since 2009, when they started creating content together!

Dan and Phil stated they fell for each other "hard and fast" after they first met, although they didn't put any labels on their romance at first.

It's also worth noting they both came out in 2019 -- just not at the same time. Dan actually claimed he'd been "more than friends" with Phil in his coming-out video, but he decided to keep the actual status of their relationship under wraps, according to Dexerto.

The two were pretty open about having gone through ups and downs just like any other couple, and Dan confessed he'd experienced plenty of homophobia as a child, which didn't exactly encourage him to go public with his relationship later on in life.

Dan and Phil also claimed they wouldn't be changing their content after going public with their romance ... and quipped no one should be afraid of them turning into "couple vloggers in bed."

Pete Buttigieg isn’t just laughing off Tucker Carlson’s wild claim he’s not actually gay -- he’s reveling in it ... saying his amusement comes from surviving the very raw journey of owning his truth.

On Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan, Pete got real -- saying most of his 20s were spent convinced coming out would kill his future career ... and he was in such a dark headspace, he admits he might’ve even tried conversion therapy if it meant not being gay.

Pete -- President Joe Biden's Transportation Secretary, and the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana -- said it finally clicked during his military deployment ... if he made it back home alive, he had to come out, career be damned.

J.K. Rowling has firmly rejected Emma Watson’s olive branch following years of public opposition to trans rights ... delivering a scathing response to her on X.

The author tore into the actress in the fiery post Monday, accusing the "Harry Potter' star of being "ignorant of how ignorant she was," pointing out that Emma grew up a multimillionaire at 14 and never faced adult life without the cushion of wealth and fame -- a stark contrast to Rowling’s own experience.

J.K. said she lived in poverty while writing 'Harry Potter' -- the series that made Emma famous -- and says her own life experience gives her a clear understanding of what the attack on women’s rights -- which she claims Emma has enthusiastically supported -- truly means for women without her privileges.

Emma Watson still has love in her heart for J.K. Rowling ... even after the 'Harry Potter' author has publicly dissed her and her costars over their public support of transgender rights.

Emma, who famously played Hermione Granger in the renowned film series, appeared on the "On Purpose With Jay Shetty" podcast Wednesday and addressed the seemingly tense relationship between herself and JKR, noting ... "I think it's my deepest wish that I hope people who don't agree with my opinion will love me and I hope I can keep loving people who I don't necessarily share the same opinion with."

She added that although she has differing views from the controversial author, she still cherishes the favorable experiences she had with JK growing up.

Kamala Harris is doubling down on her decision not to pick Pete Buttigieg as her running mate in the 2024 presidential election due to concerns over his sexuality.

The former vice president appeared on "The Rachel Maddow Show" Tuesday, where Rachel -- a gay woman -- pressed her over her recent confession that she nixed the former United States secretary of transportation as her VP pick at least partly due to him being gay.

Kamala -- who bluntly wrote in her new book "107 Days" that Pete was her No. 1 choice for her running partner, but he was too much of a risk -- told Rachel she didn't pass over him because of his sexuality explicitly, but because that, combined with her being a black woman, was too big a gamble.

David Geffen says he's ready to move on from his marriage and be an unmarried man again ... and he's even prepared to cut some big checks to his estranged husband.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the billionaire says he's willing to pay his estranged husband, David Andrew Armstrong (AKA Donovan Michaels), up to $50,000 a month in spousal support.

The catch here ... Geffen says the payments should only last for 12 months and be retroactive to their split ... adding he should get credit for whatever he's shelled out already.

Damon Dash's return to "The Breakfast Club" was nothing short of the fireworks he usually brings ... he infamously called Charlamagne Tha God a "Chatty Patty" in the past, and this time it's an all-out call for the radio host to come out of the closet!!!

According to Dame's POV, Charlamagne is a poor representation of the standard Black man in America due to his being schooled in the art of gossip by Wendy Williams.

For those who don't know, Charlamagne got an early start working with Wendy and always gives her props ... Dame thinks he needs to get on bended knee and call her "OG."

Charlie Kirk’s alleged shooter Tyler Robinson was reportedly living with a transgender partner before the attack.

The individual -- who is a male transitioning to a female, according to Fox News correspondent Brooke Singman, who broke the news -- is fully cooperating with the FBI, Singman claimed in a tweet Saturday morning.

She also said the "FBI had texts and other communications between Robinson and the individual that helped FBI authorities solidify that Robinson was indeed the shooter."

Elon Musk's transgender daughter Vivian just made her New York Fashion Week debut ... strutting down the runway for the Alexis Bittar show in a shimmering pageant-style dress.

Check out the pics from Friday -- Vivian looks calm, cool and collected as she models a sparkling red dress with ruffled short sleeves and a Miss South Carolina sash.

The showcase is fitting for Vivian -- who is estranged from her famous father who disproves of her transition -- because its "MISS USA 1991" theme is about "misogyny, unchecked predators, objectification and trans rights," according to the NYC-based brand.

Former NBA center Jason Collins -- the league's first openly gay player -- has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is currently undergoing treatment.

The league released a statement on Thursday on behalf of Collins and his family ... calling on his fans to send positive vibes his way as he deals with the medical condition.

"Jason and his family welcome your support and prayers and kindly ask for privacy as they dedicate their attention to Jason's health and well-being," the NBA said.
