Ya gotta see these photos of Barack and Michelle leaving The Lowell Hotel restaurant Tuesday in midtown Manhattan ... a rare sighting for the former president and first lady.

3:05 PM PT -- A Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesperson tells TMZ ... The pardon process could take up to a few days before the Chrisleys are released. The Chrisleys might even wind up at a halfway house before they're totally free.

An attorney for the Chrisleys, Alex Little, partner at Litson PLLC, said in a statement ... "President Trump recognized what we’ve argued from the beginning: Todd and Julie were targeted because of their conservative values and high profile. Their prosecution was tainted by multiple constitutional violations and political bias."

President Trump is looking out for his fellow reality TV stars ... because POTUS just issued full pardons for "Chrisley Knows Best" stars Todd and Julie Chrisley.

The reality TV couple had been serving hard time after being convicted in 2022 of financial crimes ... but now they will be getting released from federal prison.

Trump called Todd and Julie's daughter Savannah to give her the good news.

Clark previously said she used to manage Cassie, and Agnifilo asked her why they sometimes did not get along. Clark said in 2008, Cassie went from being a sweet model to a feisty girlfriend, getting more "bravado" as her relationship with Diddy progressed.

One thing you can always count on in life is Bianca Censori walking around in public nearly naked ... and, just like clockwork, that's exactly what she did today.

Sure, if you squint your eyes, you can see she’s technically in sheer stockings and a fishnet top … but LBR, they’re doing absolutely nothing to tame those curves.

Bianca wanted it all out on display -- boobs, curves, legs -- sis was serving body confidence like rent was due and the landlord was watching!
