You Might Want to Rethink

Peanut the Squirrel is thrust back into headlines, with Elon Musk invoking the little guy in a rant about the latest Jeffrey Epstein news ... but Peanut's owner ain't thrilled about the stunt.

Mark Longo tells TMZ ... he's totally honored Musk mentioned Peanut in his post, and now people are talking about the controversial deaths of his beloved pet squirrel and raccoon, Fred, but he wishes EM would do more to help the family's cause.

We talked to Mark right after Elon posted on X a classic meme featuring Jim from "The Office" with the words, "More squirrels and raccoons have been arrested ... than anyone on Epstein's client list. Government is deeply broken."

A picture might be worth a thousand words, but this statue in New York City will leave ya speechless ... 'cause while it's apparently a leg that's not what many are seeing.

"Foot Fountain," a new 10-foot-tall art installation, was erected in Manhattan's High Line Park recently. It's a pink leg -- cut off around the knee -- brimming with tongues and ending in a giant foot with red toenails.

There's a contraption nearby people can pedal that seems to make the top of the sculpture squirt ... no, we're not making this up.

A star-studded gated neighborhood where A-listers like Angelina Jolie and Kristen Bell have homes received an unexpected visitor Sunday ... and, cops arrested him.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... officers arrested an alleged trespasser today in Los Feliz -- a neighborhood in L.A. east of Hollywood.

We're told the individual slipped through the gate and onto the street behind it where Dax Shepard and Bell share a residence. However, our sources say the two stars weren't home at the time.

Lauren Sanchez's friends and family have been cheering her on all week as she ties the knot with Jeff Bezos ... but, at least one famous face is throwing shade -- and, blasting her high-end dress.

Katie Couric chimed in on Lauren's Vogue cover ... putting out a comment full of scorn on a post shared by John F. Kennedy's grandson, Jack Schlossberg.

On the post, Katie wrote, "Welcome to the eighties—when big hair and conspicuous consumption ruled. Apparently tacky is back."

CM Punk is revisiting his infamous tweet to WWE Superstar The Miz about his involvement in the company's shows in Saudi Arabia ... issuing an apology to the fans and saying "everything is a lesson learned."

Punk's initial comment came as a response to Miz in a heated exchange in 2019 ... with the former telling the latter to "Go suck a blood money covered d*** in Saudi Arabia you f***ing dork."

Fast forward to Friday -- Punk took part in the Night of Champions kickoff show in Riyadh ... and the home crowd certainly didn't forget his past words -- with folks in attendance booing him as he made his entrance.

Uhh, that's awkward! U.S. sprinter Chris Robinson experienced a wardrobe malfunction during a race on Tuesday ... the ol' frank and beans slipped out of his shorts in the middle of a race!!!

Despite the X-rated accident, Robinson wasn't deterred, still crossing the finish line in first place.

The mishap, at the Ostrava Golden Spike meet in the Czech Republic, was captured on TV ... as the 24-year-old competed in the 400 m hurdles event.

Martin Kove is apologizing for biting his "Cobra Kai" costar Alicia Hannah-Kim on the arm at a fan convention ... he says he was being playful and took things too far.

The "Karate Kid" villain says in a statement, "I deeply regret and apologize for my actions regarding the incident with Alicia, a genuinely kind and wonderful person who didn’t deserve to be put in this position."

Martin adds ... "I've always respected her and considered her a highly professional and talented co-worker on 'Cobra Kai.' I was being playful in the moment but went too far and there is absolutely no excuse for my behavior."

Miley Cyrus and Naomi Campbell had some catching up to do -- and forget grabbing a quiet coffee ... they had a whole hangout at a fan meet and greet, no less.

Yup, fans rolled up one by one at the London signing for Miley’s new single, "Every Girl You've Ever Loved" -- feat. Naomi, of course. But the two were so locked in their own convo, they barely threw a glance at anyone.

TBH, it's kinda brutal ... especially after waiting in a monster line, fans got nada. A couple lingered, praying for eye contact -- before the photogs ordered them to turn around for the pic.

R. Kelly's fiancée says her family's telling a bunch of lies about her ... insisting she's not a victim or sex slave despite their concern.

Joycelyn Savage released a video denying the claims Sunday evening ... hitting back at her family after they told us they don't support R. Kelly's pardon push 'cause he's never taken accountability for his actions, and she's still under his thumb.

Savage says she and R. Kelly have been together for 10 years -- engaged for the last three -- and, they want to get married and start a family together.

Anna Camp says her girlfriend is 'pitch perfect' despite their nearly two-decade age gap ... 'cause Camp says her younger lady is way more mature than the dudes she's dated her own age!

Here's the deal ... Anna and her GF Jade Whipkey made their red carpet debut at a premiere for the movie "Bride Hard" -- starring Camp and Rebel Wilson -- last week, and the whole internet blew up about their age difference.

Anna and Jade have inverse ages ... Anna's 42 and Jade's 24 -- an 18-year gap many online were roasting the "Pitch Perfect" for.

President Donald Trump's announcement that the United States attacked Iran drew strong reactions from around Washington, D.C. ... and, they didn't always follow party lines.

As you know ... POTUS took to social media to reveal the U.S. military dropped a "full payload" of bombs on three nuclear facilities in the Middle Eastern country.

While the president called the attack a total success, outrage sparked among Democrats like Bernie Sanders -- who called the action "unconstitutional" and shared a video of his supporters at a rally after he told them of the attack.

Ben Crump's picked his side in the Elon Musk and Donald Trump beef ... but, he's not backing a personality, he says he's backing the better idea -- and, he doesn't want the "One Big Beautiful Bill" to pass through the Senate.

We caught up with the civil rights activist and attorney at WayMaker Men's Summit -- a part of BET weekend -- and asked him about the fight between POTUS and his former advisor ... and, he doesn't directly say he's on Elon's side -- but, he does think this spending bill is terrible.

Crump rips the bill for making cuts to Medicaid -- the medical assistance program for people with lower incomes.

50 Cent's going to the Oval Office eventually to have a chat with President Donald Trump about Diddy ... telling fans he plans to share his raw thoughts with the prez -- but, not to convince the president to take a pardon off the table.

The rapper has put up a flurry of posts about the president saying during a recent interview that he will consider pardoning Diddy if the mogul's convicted.

In the first, 50 wrote, "He said some really bad things about Trump ,it’s not ok. Im gonna reach out so he knows how I feel about this guy."

Corey Feldman’s doing a little cleanup -- or maybe a soft backpedal -- on those Johnny Depp comments ... even saying he’d still be open to working with him.

We caught up with Corey at LAX Friday ... and he tells TMZ he never meant to indicate Depp got him axed from the 1993 film "What’s Eating Gilbert Grape" -- what he meant was that he landed the role, it got yanked, and then it ended up in the hands of a fresh-faced Leo DiCaprio.

Catch the clip ... Corey tells us how he thinks the response to his comments was overhyped, and his take on the whole sliding doors vibe -- like, does he ever wonder what coulda, woulda happened if he’d kept the role?

Britney Spears' fans are clamoring for her to post her most recent social media vid just one more time ... 'cause they got a glimpse of her breast in her most recent dance routine.

The singer-songwriter shared the clip Thursday ... in which she wore a very low-cut green and white-striped dress. Just as the video starts, she pulls the bust of her dress down -- revealing her bare boob beneath.

She quickly pulls the dress back up and soldiers on -- no embarrassment on her face ... and, she still puts on a sultry show for her social media followers.

Britney Spears has addressed her shocking airplane behavior from Thursday ... and she just doesn't seem to think her actions were, well ... 'toxic.'

The Princess of Pop took to Instagram Friday night to share her side of the story after TMZ broke the news she had a talking to by police after she acted "difficult" and tried smoking on her chartered jet from Mexico ... calling the whole ordeal "incredibly funny."

She claims she thought she could smoke in the JSX jet because the drink holders were located on the outside of the seat. She adds ..."My friend put it in my mouth and lit 🔥 it up for me so I was like OH SO THIS IS A PLANE WHERE YOU CAN SMOKE !!!"
