Donald Trump is no Theodore Roosevelt … instead of carrying a big stick, Trump wields the hammer of Thor!! Who knew? Check out what was just carried out of the White House … a large, silver hammer engraved with the President’s last name. We don’t know if it’s Marvel-issued, but it’s a dead ringer for Thor’s fave toy. We all know Trump loves putting his name on buildings, so the engraved movie prop seems par for the course. Hard to fault him for coveting this memorabilia, though … even the dude from the National Archives and Records Administration who’s hauling it away seems more than happy to be hauling it out. It’s been super interesting to keep an eye on Trump’s trinkets being taken away from The White House this week … like the mini baseball bat in storage containers marked “Presidential Library Gifts,” and the bust of Abraham Lincoln. Turns out the Oval Office has as much junk as yours!! Read Full Article

Even for maskless Karens, this arrest is bizarre … a woman — decked out in animal print — accused cops of violating her “personhood” and trying to kidnap her and steal her purse. Cindy Falco-DiCorrado was arrested Thursday in Palm Beach County, Florida where she was filmed maskless inside an Einstein Bros. bagel joint … after management says she refused to leave. She claimed it was her constitutional right to not wear a mask. According to the arrest affidavit … Falco-DiCorrado told cops she was within her constitutional right to not wear a mask, but when cops tried to arrest her for trespassing, the 61-year-old accused the cop of violating her “personhood.” A second cop eventually comes in to help get her out of the bagel shop. Falco-DiCorrado’s finally taken outside where she’s arrested. She then starts accusing the cops of trying to steal her purse. Then … she starts praying. You can see the cops are amused. She was eventually arrested and booked for trespassing and resisting arrest. BTW, it’s not the first time she’s been embroiled in controversy. Falco-DiCorrado, a staunch Trump supporter, was forced to resign from her volunteer seat on the County’s Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board in 2017, following controversial remarks made during a meeting to designate Boynton Beach a sanctuary city. Falco-DiCorrado allegedly told Black residents at the meeting, “You’re lucky we brought you over as slaves, or else you’d be deported too.” She later told the Palm Beach Post her comments were misinterpreted and she didn’t mean any harm.

Devastating news for Karl-Anthony Towns … the NBA star announced he’s tested positive for COVID-19 … just 9 months after his mother passed away from a lengthy battle with coronavirus. The 25-year-old says he received the news prior to the Minnesota Timberwolves’ matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies — which has been postponed — and will isolate and follow all protocols immediately. “I pray every day that this nightmare of a virus will subside and I beg everyone to continue to take it seriously by taking all of the necessary precautions,” KAT said Friday. “We cannot stop the spread of this virus alone, it must be a group effort by all of us.” KAT’s mother, Jacqueline Towns, contracted COVID-19 in March 2020 and was put in a medically induced coma due to complications. She tragically passed away on April 13. KAT’s father, Karl, Sr. also previously tested positive for the virus … but made a full recovery. Towns continued … “It breaks my heart that my family, and particularly my father and sister continue to suffer from the anxiety that comes along with this diagnosis as we know all too well what the end result could be.” Towns sends an incredibly powerful message to his family … vowing to beat the virus and be there for his loved ones moving forward. “To my niece and nephew, Jolani and Max, I promise you I will not end up in a box next to grandma and I will beat this.” Read Full Article

Jamie Lynn Spears has a problem with her Tesla … one that’s cost her family multiple pets — and she’s asking Elon Musk to fix it to avoid future cat-astrophes. Britney’s baby sis paints a pretty horrific picture of what’s been happening in her home, claiming her Tesla vehicle is so quiet her cats don’t hear it turn on or backing up … and they end up going from 9 lives to zero. Jamie spares us the gory details, thankfully, but says it’s devastating and tragic for everyone involved. She also suggests it’s happened several times, but doesn’t say precisely how many felines paid the ultimate price. She also pitches an idea to Elon on how to improve Teslas and save cat lives. No, JLS isn’t an engineer, but she might be on to something here. Now, Jamie does admit some “user error” is also at fault, which seems appropriate considering it’s happened more than once. As you can see in the video, it’s made for some difficult heart-to-hearts with her daughter. RIP. RIP. RIP??? Read Full Article

More trouble for Mario Edwards Jr. … The Chicago Bears defensive lineman has been handed a 2-game ban by NFL commish Roger Goodell on Friday … but we’re told it is NOT related to an alleged domestic violence incident in October. TMZ Sports broke the story … a woman claims 27-year-old Edwards got violent with her in a North Carolina hotel room on Oct. 17 (the day before playing against the Panthers) … after she turned down his sexual advances. The woman claims she was pregnant at the time of the incident … and required medical attention for injuries sustained during the alleged attack. Edwards, though, has STRONGLY denied any wrongdoing … claiming he was the victim and the woman was the aggressor. While that incident remains under investigation, we’re told Edwards’ punishment Friday is due to a violation of the league’s performance-enhancing substance policy … resulting in the 2-game ban. Edwards showed serious promise in 15 games for the Bears this season … racking up 4 sacks in 15 games. Edwards is due to hit free agency this off-season … and could miss more playing time depending on the results of the league’s investigation. Read Full Article

Dr. Dre will finally get to sleep in his own bed tonight — he’s been discharged from the hospital after suffering a brain aneurysm, but doctors are still watching him closely. Sources close to Dre tell TMZ … he went home Friday and while he’s on the road to recovery, he still needs attention. We’re told there are medical professionals at his home who will monitor him 24/7 for the next few weeks to make sure he’s okay. Our sources tell us Dre was in ICU at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A. until Wednesday, when he was then moved to a private room at the hospital. Although he’s been released, we’re told doctors still don’t know what triggered the brain bleed — and that’s part of the reason for the at-home care. We broke the story … Dre suffered an aneurysm at his Pacific Palisades home on Jan. 4 and was rushed by ambulance to Cedars. Our sources told us Dre’s doctors cautiously informed his family a “bad outcome” did not appear to be on the horizon. Dre’s super lucky with this outcome … brain aneurysms result in death about half the time, and for those fortunate enough to survive, about 2 out of 3 are left with some sort of permanent neurological deficit.
