Tom Hanks stirred the pot as he stepped into character for 'SNL's 50th anniversary special -- but his portrayal of a Trump supporter didn’t land well across the board.

The Oscar winner took on the MAGA-hat-wearing role of Doug in a 'Black Jeopardy' skit, where his character preached the world would be better if more people went to church.

When game show host Darnell Hayes -- Kenan Thompson -- went in for a handshake, Doug pulled back, saying, "Don’t like that, whoa, whoa, whoa!"

Arnold Schwarzenegger bared it all in "Terminator" 40 years ago ... and now his son, Patrick Schwarzenegger, is keeping the family tradition alive -- going full frontal in "The White Lotus."

The HBO show's season 3 kicked off Sunday night, and Patrick's character, Saxon Ratliff, wasted no time -- he checked into the luxe Thai resort with his family, and then promptly checked out of his clothes in a full-on NSFW scene.

After striking out with the ladies at the resort, Saxon decided to handle business himself in the scene. He hopped out of bed, butt-naked, strolled to the bathroom, and just when you thought that was it … BAM! The camera swung around, and yep, everything was on display!

Kim Kardashian's famous backside made an early appearance on the 50th anniversary special for "Saturday Night Live" ... with Kristen Wiig pretending to smack on her behind like bongos.

In the first sketch after the monologue on 'SNL50,' Kardashian appeared as one of the Maharelle Sisters -- the singing quartet with three gorgeous sisters and then Dooneese, a character played by Wiig with a huge forehead, tiny hands and a nasally singing voice.

In this particular version, Will Ferrell -- playing Robert Goulet -- is on "The Lawrence Welk Show" trying to find choose between three women Ana Gasteyer, Scarlett Johansson and Kardashian ... but, Dooneese keeps getting in the way.

Aubrey Plaza made her first appearance back in public since the tragic passing of her husband who died by suicide earlier this year.

The reality television star posted about his condition Sunday afternoon ... writing a message on Instagram to his fans to tell them he's recovering after his nasty crash.

Umansky says his clavicle was a clean break ... but, it still required surgery -- and he now has a metal plate and 12 screws in the bone.

Brooks Nader's newest photoshoot is probably more appropriate for Playboy than Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue ... 'cause she ditched the bikini for an au naturale look on vacay.

And, nearly three decades later Mr. Ferrell was cool and casual at last month's screening of "You're Cordially Invited" in NYC (right). He may be showin' some gray, but in our eyes, he can still get it all night and all day 😜!

With show-stopping impersonations of stars like Alex Trebek, Harry Carey, George Bush  ... the only thing his rugged beauty could use is a little more cowbell!

The question here is ...

Katie Thurston's sharing a major life update ... telling her fans she's been diagnosed with breast cancer -- and, she plans to share every bit of it.

The 'Bachelorette' star shared the news in an Instagram post Saturday morning ... telling fans she and her fiancé, comedian Jeff Arcuri, planned to travel the world before settling in NYC -- but, they had to cut it short so she could deal with getting medical coverage for her illness.
