Nancy Mace just got her butt kicked in a bid to become South Carolina's next governor ... but she's got a sense of humor about the political stomping.

The Congresswoman posted a photo of a big bowl of baked beans on social media ... saying she would drown her sorrows in legumes and not ice cream.

For those who don't know ... the outspoken politician dogged by scandals went viral back in 2024 with a picture of her BBQ birthday dinner ... which included a giant helping of baked beans.

Of course, social media had a field day ... with one person writing the now timeless, "That's a lot of beans, you nasty ass bitch." And another classic said the bathroom was all hers.

If the hilarious knocks hurt Mace's feelings back then, she's clearly gotten over it ... and leaning into the joke here is pretty unexpected.

Benson Boone is taking a page out of Alix Earle’s going-viral playbook ... and maybe even one of her dresses ... because he has recreated one of her most-viewed TikToks! 

Check out the video ... Benson can be seen running around in a skimpy black lace dress, dramatically lip-syncing to his upcoming song "The Time of My Life."

The singer is showing off his sculpted arms and classic mustache in the process. But sadly, no back flips were in this performance.

Jennifer Lawrence can officially add amateur detective to her résumé ... 'cause Andy Cohen says she helped crack the case of the leaked "Summer House" reunion audio.

While appearing on "Watch What Happens Live," Andy gave the Oscar winner a shout-out for going full internet sleuth and helping track down the source of the leak that had Bravo scrambling.

As it turns out, the audio was ultimately traced back to a member of the production staff ... bringing an end to the mystery that had fans buzzing for weeks.

Draymond Green is adding a Community Note to his own social media clapback ... claiming when he told a woman he'd "crush" her "dirty ass kids," he was still in Kevin Hart roast mode.

The Golden State Warriors star issued the wild comment after a basketball fan called him a "bitch" on X last month ... replying, "Watch your mouth before I crush those dirty ass kids in your banner."

Some folks were baffled by Green's words ... especially because the word "crush" can be interpreted as a threat.

"Summer House" star Kyle Cooke is back at it again ... kissing fans in public on video.

In footage going viral online, Kyle is seen leaning in close to a woman at a nightclub while he's on tour for his DJ set ... laying a few smooches on her before telling her, "You're actually really hot, I'm not joking."

Notably ... this is the second video to come out this week of the Bravoleb smooching a mystery woman ... all while his ex-wife Amanda Batula galivants around with West Wilson -- a controversy that blew up the famed friend group.

Michelle Williams is finally setting the record straight on one of Destiny's Child's most infamous interviews ... insisting the group wasn't high -- they were just flat-out exhausted.

Michelle went on the "Baby, This is Keke Palmer" podcast and addressed the viral 2001 interview that's had fans convinced for years they were under the influence.

According to Michelle, there wasn't a single substance involved ... just a brutal case of jet lag.

Michelle explained the group was running on fumes when they sat down for the interview, leaving them tired, loopy, and a little delirious ... but definitely not stoned.

Doja Cat had fans puckering up in Paris ... but they weren't there to kiss her lips ... they were kissing her ass ... literally.

Morgan Wallen's got an arm on him -- the country superstar was caught on video ripping a phone out of a security guard's hand and launching it across the stage during a concert in Pittsburgh.

The bizarre moment went down Friday night at Acrisure Stadium ... with footage showing Wallen spotting the guard holding up a cellphone near the stage before suddenly grabbing it and chucking it away mid-show.

Fans who witnessed the incident reportedly claimed the phone wasn't being used by the guard for personal reasons -- instead alleging he was helping record video for someone in the crowd. Either way, Wallen didn't seem thrilled about the device being pointed in his direction.

Kyle Cooke has fans doing a double take after a video surfaced showing the "Summer House" star appearing to kiss a fan during a DJ appearance in Delaware over the weekend.

The clip, posted Sunday across official White House social channels, leaned heavily into internet humor, featuring an over-the-top soundtrack and a barrage of fast-moving visuals designed to celebrate June 7.

But it wasn't the just the message or President Trump's dance moves that grabbed everyone's attention ... it was the imagery.

Morgan Wallen is firing back at what he’s calling "nonsense" rumors following his sudden decision to cancel a Pittsburgh stop on his tour ... just days after the piano-flipping incident had already sparked online chatter.

In a video posted to his Instagram, the country star explained the chain of events leading up to the cancellation ... saying the decision came down to safety concerns tied to severe weather forecasts, despite "a lot of nonsense about me that just isn’t true."

The Spurs fan who rushed the court for a pic with Victor Wembanyama is not only persona non grata in the NBA's eyes -- he's in trouble with the law, too.

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office tells TMZ Sports the individual -- a juvenile -- was arrested on two charges in connection with Wednesday night's stunt at Game 1 of the Finals at Frost Bank Center ... where he "intentionally breached court security personnel."

Officials say the first charge, Disrupting Meeting or Procession, was committed by "intentionally disrupting a lawful gathering, namely, the Spurs basketball game, through physical interference."
