"Saturday Night Live" went straight for the jugular, opening with a brutal send-up of President Donald Trump's decision to boot Kristi Noem from her post as Homeland Security secretary.

Colin Jost played Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in a mock press briefing, casually informing reporters that Noem had been "reassigned under the bus." Moments later, Ashley Padilla strutted in as Noem to set the record straight.

"I just want to make it clear that I didn't get fired," she insisted. "I self-deported."

Ryan Gosling had a bit of a distraction sitting front row during his monologue as host of 'SNL' this week ... heart throb, and next week's host, Harry Styles!

Harry says he is only there to prepare for the show next week, but Ryan can't seem to get the "Aperture" singer out of his head as he tries to continue on with the open.

It doesn't help that the camera keeps cutting to Harry and eventually creates a split screen to keep Style's adorable face on our TVs the entire time.

Corey Parker -- a longtime actor who appeared in numerous well-known shows and movies -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

Emily Parker -- Corey's aunt -- tells us the star passed away Thursday in Memphis, Tennessee after a battle with cancer. It's unclear what type of cancer he had.

Corey got his start in the film industry in the mid-1980s ... notably winning the role of Pete in "Friday the 13th Part V: A New Beginning." He followed that up with a small part in the Kim Basinger romantic drama "9 1/2 Weeks."

In 1992, Corey landed a starring role in the sitcom "Flying Blind" alongside Téa Leoni. He played Neil Barash -- an awkward college grad who begins dating Leoni's wild and free Alicia.

On the field and on the streets, Michael Strahan always makes it rain, but can you uncover the sneaky switches and throw 'em in the bag?!

Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s ex-boyfriend Michael Bergin is finally speaking out about his portrayal in the new FX series "Love Story" … sorta.

Corey Harrison says his dad Rick stepped in to help cover his massive medical bills after his motorcycle crash ... but it's no free ride -- telling TMZ the "Pawn Stars" patriarch "isn't made of money."

"Big Hoss" tells us Rick reached into his pocket and paid at least half of Corey's six-figure hospital bills after a terrifying motorcycle accident in Mexico earlier this year ... but says people shouldn't assume Rick can simply bankroll everything.

Fact is ... Corey says people are cutting the cord, and the family isn't making the kind of money it did during the peak of "Pawn Stars" years ago. Plus, Rick has plenty of other expenses to tend to -- he recently got married and has 5 other kids.

Daryl Hannah isn’t biting her tongue -- the icon is torching her portrayal in "Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette," saying the version of her on screen is not even a remotely accurate portrayal of her real life.

In a New York Times essay, Daryl went scorched earth on Ryan Murphy’s "tragedy-exploiting" series ... blasting the decision to depict her, via Dree Hemingway, as "irritating, self-absorbed, whiny and inappropriate" and also painting her as the clingy obstacle standing in the way of John's future with Carolyn.

Savannah Guthrie's 'TODAY' colleagues are reflecting on her brief but emotional visit to the studio Thursday ... a visit that marked her first time back since her mom Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped from her Arizona home over a month ago.

Check out the clip -- they revealed meteorologist Dylan Dreyer led them in prayer together and said Savannah spoke to the entire crew "from the heart" and was still cracking jokes and being her normal self despite the immense pressure she's feeling.

They also stressed that they're not just co-workers forced to see each other, but a true family. Al Roker noted ... "We needed to see her as much as she needed to see us."

According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, a woman named Kimberly Heffington says she visited Kathy’s 7-bedroom, 8-bathroom, 15,000-square-foot pad in Bel Air on August 25, 2024.

Kimberly said she was walking when her foot was caught in between uneven pavement, causing her to trip and fall. She claims she “landed violently on the ground, causing her to suffer severe and permanent injuries, including but not limited to a complex medial meniscus tear to her right knee."

June "Mama June" Shannon gave a concerning health update earlier this week, revealing a serious new medical issue ... but she tells us it's not as bad as some have feared.

"It's not cancer," Mama June told us when we caught her and her kids out in NYC Wednesday. "Before I had my hysterectomy I was thinking the C-word, because I did have cysts and stuff ... But what I'm dealing with now, it has nothing to do with my hormones or anything like that. This is totally different."

Mama June told Page Six she's dealing with something that could "immobilize" her, but she didn't elaborate any further with us ... except to confirm that it's not expected to be life-threatening.

"Pawn Stars" star Corey Harrison is turning to fans for help after spending nearly all his money on medical bills following a scary motorcycle crash in Mexico ... and the life-threatening complications that followed.

You'll recall ... in January, Corey was involved in a terrifying accident in Tulum that left him with 11 fractured ribs, a concussion and facial injuries -- forcing him to miss his father Rick Harrison's January wedding.

"Big Hoss" tells TMZ ... he spent two weeks in the hospital before prematurely checking himself out due to mounting bills ... a decision that led to even more trouble. While resting at his Tulum home, Corey says he immediately began experiencing excruciating pain ... and a house doctor administered IV fluids and morphine treatments.

"The Amazing Race" contestants Jonathan and Ana Towns claim CBS and the show's producers besmirched their names on the reality TV competition show ... and they want them to cough up more than $8 million in damages over it ... TMZ has learned.

In a lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the couple says the show deliberately smeared them by using "decontextualized" footage that made Jonathan look like "a morally depraved, brutal and abusive spouse," while at the same time omitting material that put Jonathan in a more "humanizing" light.

During last year's season, Jonathan seemed to demean Ana multiple times on the show with name-calling and a seemingly derisive attitude, which upset many 'TAR' fans.

Savannah Guthrie is leaning on religion amid the ongoing search for her mother Nancy -- 'cause TMZ’s learned she shared an emotional message of hope with staffers during a visit to the 'TODAY' show.

A source close to 'TODAY' tells TMZ Savannah thanked the staff and crew for the love, prayers and support for "caring about my mom as much as I do" ... and she declared "I’m holding onto my faith. I still believe. And as my mom would say, 'Where else would I go?'"
