Nicki Minaj's claims that cops went after her because of her race are under fire ... with the police organization calling BS on her telling of the situation.

The Dutch Military Police addressed comments Nicki made during a recent live stream on the popular social media app Stationhead ... where she straight-up said cops went after her because she's part of a "confident other race."

Watch the video to hear Nicki's full comments ... on top of calling out the DMP for alleged racism, she also seems to reference a bit of sexism -- explaining she only interacted with one woman during the incident, and she was the only kind person.

Donald Trump now faces possible prison, but will that help or hurt him in November? And, Swifties are calling for Taylor to take a stand on Palestine. So we gotta ask ...

Sofia Vergara's all about cutting down on waste ... revealing she's repurposing a tattoo for her ex-husband Joe Manganiello as a tribute to her current boyfriend!

The actress joined "The Talk" earlier this week with her son Manolo when the topic of tats came up -- and, her kid reveals he's got more than 30 different tattoos covering his body.

Vergara cracks jokes at her boy's expense -- calling him out for covering the "beautiful Latin skin" she gave him. So, Manolo fires back ... pointing out his mom's a hypocrite 'cause she's got ink too.

Maya Hawke says she's cool with nepo baby casting ... admitting tons of deserving actors don't get to live their dreams like her -- but, it wouldn't help anyone to turn them down.

The actress reflected on her famous family connections in an interview with the Times of London, published Friday ... saying she's not sure if she deserves a leg-up in auditions -- but, she's fine with using it to her advantage.

Maya says, "There are so many people who deserve to have this kind of life who don’t, but I think I’m comfortable with not deserving it and doing it anyway. And I know that my not doing it wouldn’t help anyone."

A Texas elementary school has reportedly been rocked recently by two major scandals involving staff ... with revenge porn and murder on the menu.

The nightmare began to unfold at Adriane Mathews Gray Elementary School near Houston when one of the female teachers shot a video of her bare breasts while surrounded by a bunch of children's books and toys on campus.

Another clip -- filmed by the teacher -- showed her yanking down her pants and removing her panties to expose herself in a bathroom.

UFOs are seemingly all around us these days ... and the latest sighting of one of these unidentified saucers occurred in Nevada on Friday.

Here's what happened ... a woman named Katrina and her buddies were hanging out in the city of Henderson around 10 PM when they suddenly saw a bright round light shimmering high up in the sky.

Check out the video, obtained by TMZ ... the glistening object started flying in a diagonal pattern before moving up and down. At some point, you can see a plane streaking by, but it never gets too close to the alleged UFO.

Jennifer Lopez looks like she's carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders lately with all the drama in her life -- and we have the pics to prove it.

J Lo shared a somber look as she rolled up in a white car to Mihran K. Studios in Burbank on Friday. The singer/actress got out of the vehicle and greeted her team nearby, hugging one of the women before they all went inside the dance studio.

Seems like J Lo needed a little love and support from her peeps as she navigates through this rough patch in her life.  But the positive vibes didn't last ... As J Lo later exited the studio, she was photographed looking down sadly at her cell phone before she climbed inside her car, which drove her away.

Kesha is once again singing about Diddy ... but, as you might imagine, what she says about him ain't too flattering.

The singer hit the stage at WeHo Pride 2024 in L.A. Friday night, cranking out an alternate version of her hit, "Tik Tok." Diddy would not have been impressed.

Check out the vid, obtained by TMZ ... Kesha, surrounded by her dancers, is standing at her microphone moving her hips to the beat of the tune.

Jennifer Lopez will not be hitting the road this summer after all -- as the singer is canceling her planned tour outright, even before it starts ... TMZ has learned.

A rep for Live Nation tells us Jen's "THIS IS ME...LIVE" tour -- which was supposed to get underway in June and hit a bunch of North American venues through August -- is getting completely scrapped.

The reason ... we're told, J Lo is "taking time off to be with her children, family and close friends." Jen herself also addressed the cancelation, hopping on her site OntheJLo to say, ... "I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down. Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary."

Caroline Manzo is painting more of a portrait of what happened to her allegedly at the hands of Brandi Glanville – and the new allegations are nothing less than shocking!

First, the back story ... the 'Real Housewives of New Jersey' star filed a lawsuit against Bravo – which produces the reality show – in January 2024.

In the suit, Manzo accused Glanville – formerly a castmate on 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' – of sexually harassing her while they were shooting a 2023 reality show called "The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip." Manzo claimed Glanville kissed her without her consent in a rental house in Morocco, while also mounting her on the couch.

Bill Maher did a pivot Friday night ... actually complimenting the pro-Hamas college protesters for believing in something that was bigger than themselves ... but then he lowered the boom, saying they missed the cause they should be embracing by a f***ing mile!

The 'Real Time' host made his pitch to the youngins ... the biggest social justice cause in decades has been apartheid. Nelson Mandela is a beacon of light for equality and dignity.

And that brings Bill to students supporting Hamas ... which denigrates women in ways much worse than second-class citizens. Bill ticks off a laundry list of indignities, starting with the mandatory hijab, which is prevalent in dozens of countries ... where women can't see, hear or speak out in the open air. It suppresses women from humanity ... and makes their souls shrivel.

Looks like WeHo Pride kicking off this weekend might be more tense than celebratory ... we've learned cops are gearing up for the worst amid recent global events.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... with the Pro-Palestine Rally going down in West Hollywood Saturday, coupled with anger from Donald Trump supporters over his recent conviction in the hush money case, cops are bracing for a rocky ride.

We're told there'll be uniformed deputies scattered all over the place, along with cops in plain clothes, and a heavy dose of surveillance.

Donald Trump's longtime friend Bernard Kerik has some thoughts on how he should serve his time if his guilty verdict lands him behind bars.

Kerik -- who served as Commissioner for the New York City Department of Correction as well as the NYPD commissioner -- tells TMZ segregating Trump in a prison facility isn't enough ... he needs his own facility for safety reasons.

BK -- who received a Presidential pardon from Trump in 2020 for numerous federal convictions -- explains Trump wouldn't be a high-risk inmate in terms of fighting guards, inmates, or attempting an escape -- instead, the environment around him would be high-risk.

Some scumbag pretending to be NBA prospect James McCain has been scamming fans out of their hard-earned money on Snapchat ... and now, the REAL James McCain's team is working to get the account removed from the app.

TMZ Sports has learned -- someone completely unaffiliated with 20-year-old McCain has been reaching out to people on the platform recently ... and after weeks of talking and building up trust, the user will eventually offer gifted items from SKIMS and other companies at a discounted price.

We're told some users have fallen for it -- after all, Kim Kardashian's brand recently partnered with the NCAA for March Madness ... and McCain was all over the campaign.

SKIMS also has a relationship with the NBA ... McCain's next employer.

Although these two can be slightly shady on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ... here to kick off Pride weekend are besties Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke. Do you have what it takes to find the changes in the two colorful shots?

In typical Beverly Hills fashion, the two ladies rolled up to the Pride parade bad and bougie in a black Bentley! They braved the West Hollywood hotness by fanning off 🔥, but can you rip through the pictures and score the alterations?

Happy Pride!
