1:40 PM PT -- Our original report included a reference to a line in the song mis-transcribed as "The Spanish goin' back" ... the actual lyric is "This granny's going bad."

Roseanne Barr is making a career pivot inspired by Donald Trump's upcoming return to the White House ... debuting a new rap alter-ego in a music video celebrating the president-elect.

Check it out ... the controversial comedian wears sunglasses, leopard print, and her hair braided in blonde cornrows as she raps alongside Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald in their pro-Trump anthem, "Daddy's Home."

The two performers not so subtly rub DT's successful reelection bid in haters' faces, opening up the song with ... "We won, you mad, It's done, too bad, Boo-hoo, so sad."

Donald Trump's looking to keep his supporters safe on Inauguration Day ... moving Monday's events indoors 'cause it's freezing in the nation's capital -- after the country dropped a bag on security procedures for the event.

The president-elect -- who will officially become the 47th POTUS on Monday -- jumped on Truth Social to announce the change ... writing that his job is to protect all Americans, including during his inauguration.

Trump explains the windchill in D.C. combined with the already frigid temperatures could lead to record lows ... and, it wouldn't be safe for people to stand around for hours, waiting for his big moment.

Donald Trump is bestowing a new honor on his most vocal celebrity supporters ... tapping Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone as Hollywood's new Special Ambassadors.

The President-elect announced the 3 actors' new roles on Truth Social ahead of Monday's inauguration ... and noted he was putting his trust in Voight, Gibson, and Stallone to bring Hollywood -- which he called "a very troubled place" -- back to its old glory.

If you're scratching your head trying to figure out what exactly a "Special Ambassador to Hollywood" will do in the Trump administration ... 45 (soon-to-be 47) explained the veteran stars will act as "Special Envoys" -- essentially his "eyes and ears" on the ground in Tinseltown.

Donald Trump's got a new signature pose for photos it seems ... 'cause he's bringing his mug shot scowl to the highest office in the land -- a stark departure from his 2016 portrait.

TMZ has confirmed that a new black and white photo of Trump circulating online is DJT's official presidential photo ... and, it captures the president-elect staring seriously into the camera -- not even a hint of a smile on his face.

The photo's being compared to the mug shot Trump stood for in Georgia back in 2023, after he was indicted on racketeering charges in the state ... and, it's easy to see why -- he's got the same expression on his face in both snaps.

Bill Maher has a question for California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ... why does it take a massive disaster for the state to cut red tape?!?

Bill joined us on "TMZ Live" and we asked him about the heat Newsom and Bass are catching over the response to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, and what it's going to take for L.A. to rebuild.

The 'Real Time' host says Newsom and Bass absolutely deserve to be held accountable for what Maher feel are a series of blunders that exacerbated the disaster ... and he says now is absolutely the time to have a conversation about their actions, or lack thereof.

Donald Trump's inauguration ceremony is relying on a private security company ... and Uncle Sam is paying a pretty penny to keep the incoming President safe.

TMZ obtained federal procurement docs that show the Secret Service has hired a company called Arcus Group LLC to help out with Monday's inauguration. The company scored an $8.1 million contract for the job ... and the firm is tasked with securing the perimeter.

Sounds like taxpayer money is being put to good use here ... Arcus Group boasts they are specialists in temporary security perimeters for high profile situations ... and Trump's inauguration fits the bill.

Donald Trump’s inauguration is set to double as his disco dream ... 'cause Village People’s Victor Willis tells TMZ an onstage collab is locked in!

We caught up with Victor on "TMZ Live" Wednesday ... and he tells us Trump's 100% hopping onstage with them at Sunday's "MAGA Victory" rally in Washington D.C., and at the Liberty Inaugural Ball Monday for a performance of his all-time fave jam, "Y.M.C.A."

Pete Hegseth's Senate confirmation hearing for his nomination as Donald Trump's U.S. Secretary of Defense spiraled into chaos with multiple protesters disrupting the proceedings.

Check out the video ... Hegseth was thanking people for "literally and figuratively having my back" when, ironically, an elderly man behind him decided to air his differing opinion, calling him a misogynist before getting escorted out -- and the protest parade didn’t stop there.

At least three protesters were booted from the hearing room Tuesday morning, with one woman airing her grievances before being shown the door -- and another man dramatically carried out by U.S. Capitol Police.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has an enthusiast vocal ally in her corner amid the backlash over her response to the wildfires -- and it’s none other than the mayor of Inglewood, a city that adjoins L.A.

We caught up with James T. Butts, and he blasted Bass' critics as "misguided" -- and even went on to praise her as one of the most conscientious, confident elected officials he's ever seen.

Check out the clip ... Butts dives into why he believes Bass is excelling in an impossible situation, highlighting the lack of resources she's had to navigate while proving her leadership chops.

"I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event. I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Donald Trump isn't struggling to find A-list talent for his second inauguration ... Carrie Underwood has been tapped to perform at the swearing-in ceremony, TMZ has learned.

A presidential inauguration committee spokesperson confirms to TMZ ... the "American Idol" winner will be singing a patriotic tune before President-elect Trump is sworn in as the 47th President of the United States.

California Governor Gavin Newsom just called out Elon Musk, accusing him of exposing his own lies about a water shortage amid the L.A. wildfires -- saying it all went down during Elon's own live-streamed briefing with a fire command member.

Musk initially went off on X, blaming the massive loss of homes in the L.A. wildfires on "bad governance at a state and local level that resulted in a shortage of water." But, Newsom shared a clip of Musk talking to a firefighter, captioning it, "@ElonMusk exposed by firefighters for his own lies."

Newsom's clip shows Musk asking a firefighter, "What about water availability, was water availability -- I understand that was not an issue in Malibu, is that correct?"

Two of California's top politicians are in the crosshairs of recall petitions ... but, while one is gaining quite a bit of steam, the other is struggling out of the starting blocks.

In the wake of the devastating wildfires burning huge swaths of California, two petitions have been started calling for the removal of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom.

The petition to recall Governor Newsom is newer than the one to nix Bass ... and, quite frankly it's having trouble gaining serious traction. It was started yesterday -- and, so far, it's only gained about 27K signatures.

Yvette Nicole Brown and Kym Whitley are standing behind Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ... saying she's a woman of steel -- and, people are unfairly criticizing her because of her race.

We caught up with the two stars in L.A. Saturday ... and, we asked them about Mayor Bass' response to the devastating wildfires -- 'cause both of them ardently supported Bass' run for the job.

You've gotta watch the clip ... YNB and KW get pretty heated just thinking about all the criticism Karen's received in recent days.

Mark Zuckerberg is claiming that the Biden administration called up his team, yelling and cursing at them, demanding they take down memes about the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Meta CEO is spilling tea about Biden, saying Meta was pressured to censor certain posts ... telling Joe Rogan on his podcast, they even threatened his team with consequences if they didn't remove the posts.

Zuckerberg added, "Basically, it just got to this point where we were like no, we're not going to take down things that are true ... That's ridiculous."

The first convicted felon ever to be elected president was formally sentenced this morning ... after the Supreme Court shut down Donald Trump's final appeal Thursday night to have the judgment set aside.

Trump appeared remotely from Mar-a-Lago this morning to attend the Manhattan courthouse hearing, in which he was let off with an "unconditional discharge."

Judge Juan Merchan had already signaled Trump would not face prison, fines or probation ... deciding on unconditional discharge -- upholding the conviction, but with no penalties imposed, due to the president-elect's official status.
