President Trump has made it clear he wants Tyler Robinson executed for allegedly assassinating Charlie Kirk ... and if Trump gets his way, Kirk's alleged killer faces a torturous fate.

The case will play out in Utah, where capital punishment is still a thing ... and where folks on death row are executed one of two ways ... firing squad or lethal injection.

Ronnie Lee Gardner was the last death row inmate in Utah killed by firing squad ... in June 2010 at Utah State Prison for a 1985 murder ... and a journalist who was there to watch the execution go down is recalling what it was like.

American actress Lisanne Falk was in her early 20s when she played Heather -- the nicer 'Heather' on the Westerburg High cheerleading squad whose signature color is yellow, Heather McNamara -- in the 1988 teen comedy crime "Heathers."

Falk shared the big screen with Christian Slater as Jason, the killer of three students who falls in love with Veronica, Shannen Doherty, who initially is a shy bookworm with green as her signature color, (the other)Heather, and Winona Ryder as the popular girl constantly rocking blue clothing and is mature beyond her years, Veronica.

President Donald Trump has sued The New York Times for $15 billion ... alleging they defamed him while serving as "a full-throated mouthpiece of the Democrat Party" during the 2024 election.

The suit, obtained by TMZ, was filed in Florida on Monday and also claims "industrial-scale" libel, slamming the NYT as a "leading, and unapologetic, purveyor of falsehoods against President Trump on the legacy media landscape."

Trump names several articles -- including the Times' "deranged endorsement of Kamala Harris" -- plus a book written by two of the publication’s journalists, "Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success" -- ahead of the election as supporting evidence for the revered company "engaging in election interference."

Travis Kelce's pregame warmup shirt paying homage to the suspended Rashee Rice has drawn the ire of many ... including an attorney who's representing one of the people injured in the receiver's infamous 2024 crash.

Marc Lenahan, Kathryn Kuykendall's lawyer, told TMZ Sports on Monday he's livid with Kelce for sporting the "Free 4" tee ... considering Rice is serving a six-game ban for causing that huge March '24 pileup in Dallas.

The attorney also took aim at Kelce's teammate, Tyquan Thornton, who sported the shirt just prior to Kansas City's game against the Eagles on Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium as well.

Aaron Phypers says Denise Richards is lying about him being a domestic abuser as a way to stop him from getting spousal support.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Aaron responds to Denise's request for a domestic violence restraining order and says, "I believe this entire domestic violence proceeding is merely a ruse to try to cut me off from being able to obtain spousal support."

Aaron filed for divorce in July and requested spousal support ... and Denise later accused him of domestic abuse, which he's repeatedly denied.

Cops still haven't figured out some key elements of the homicide case involving a body found in a Tesla registered to D4vd ... but progress is being made.

LAPD sources with direct knowledge tell us police still have not been able to identify the victim. The body was badly decomposed and chopped up when it was found earlier this month in the front trunk of the singer's Tesla.

Our sources say detectives have yet to determine who was using D4vd's Tesla before it was abandoned in the Hollywood Hills and impounded with body parts inside. The car was never reported stolen.

Tommy Norman, the North Little Rock police officer who turned his beat into a viral brand and racked up over 1 million Instagram followers, is back home following his weekend arrest ... and his wife is breaking her silence as the couple weathers the fallout.

Norman, a 27-year veteran of the North Little Rock Police Department and a popular community figure, was released from jail after a judge set his bond at just $350 cash on Monday morning. He'd been taken into custody on Saturday, charged with third-degree domestic battery after what cops described as an alleged "domestic violence incident."

Now, his wife Rosalynd is speaking out in a statement, admitting the family has faced "both loving memories and difficult times," but insisted their love remains strong. "We are leaning on God for strength and guidance," she wrote, while asking for "grace, prayers, and privacy" as they move forward.

Here's Jamie Lee Curtis breaking down in tears over last week's Charlie Kirk murder ... and she's getting emotional about his death, even though she says she disagrees with "almost every point" she ever heard him make.

The actress started crying about Charlie's slaying in an interview with Marc Maron on the 'WTF' podcast ... and she also lamented how easy it is for folks to find videos showing the fatal shooting.

Jamie Lee says she disagreed with Kirk on most of his views and his ideas were abhorrent, but added ... "I believe he was a man of faith, and I hope in that moment when he died, that he felt connected with his faith."

Terence Crawford beat Canelo Alvarez Saturday night in Las Vegas -- and while it was absolutely the biggest fight of his career -- was it the most difficult?!

"I wouldn't say it was the hardest fight of my career, but it was definitely the biggest fight of my career," Bud told Babcock on the TMZ Sports TV show (airs nightly on FS1) on Monday afternoon.

Crawford won the fight relatively comfortably on the scorecards (116-112, 115-113, 115-113) ... in front of 70,482 fans at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, home of the Raiders, and tens of millions of fans on Netflix.

Roxana tells us she was "blown away" by his "brilliant and truly mesmerizing performance" in "Adolescence" ... and she was rooting for him to win last night.

She shares how it’s such an incredible moment to see Cooper join the history books as the youngest male Emmy winner -- she knows how life-changing and surreal this recognition can feel -- and she couldn’t be happier for him.

Hulk Hogan was among the celebrities inexplicably left out of the Emmys "In Memoriam" broadcast segment Sunday night ... and his ex-wife suspects it wasn't a simple error.

Linda Hogan tells TMZ … she believes Hulk’s snub was political, due to his right-wing embrace and support later in life -- including speaking at the RNC for President Trump last year -- despite the fact the wrestling superstar supported both sides of the aisle.

Hulk was among a few notable names not honored on the CBS show ... others included horror icon Tony Todd and "Sopranos" star Jerry Adler. An Emmys rep pointed out all of them, including Hulk, are included in a longer online version of the segment ... but it's just a scroll of names with zero production value, unlike the broadcast segment.
