Stephen A. Smith was on the ESPN airwaves Tuesday morning when he had quite the slip of the tongue while breaking down the Texans' playoff win over the Steelers ... mistakenly referring to Houston's star wide receiver as Charlie Kirk.

"We saw Charlie Kirk catch 8 receptions for 144 yards," SAS said on "First Take," before host Shae Cornette corrected him.

"I'm sorry. Christian. I apologize. I apologize. Oh my God. Christian Kirk," Stephen A. quickly responded.

Clearly, Smith meant no harm by what he said -- the guy spends hours and hours talking each week, and mistakes happen.

Superstar singer Julio Iglesias is in the crosshairs of prosecutors in Spain, where he's under investigation after two former female employees accused him of sexual assault.

The Spanish High Court prosecutor's office announced the probe Tuesday after Univision and Spanish media outlet elDiario.es published the women's allegations.

The pic has "Call me a wife!!!" written along the bottom of it ... but hold on, Siwa fans -- because it's a pretty premature post.

Justin Baldoni says Blake Lively's request to seal the identities of the famous friends she confided in goes too far ... and she's only doing it because it paints her pals in a bad light.

The actor filed the objection to Lively's motion for sealing Monday ... arguing her motion goes well beyond what the law allows -- especially as it pertains to her husband Ryan Reynolds.

While Lively calls Reynolds an "innocent third party," Baldoni's team insists he involved himself with the production of "It Ends with Us" ... rewriting a scene of the film and arguing with Baldoni after he allegedly commented on Blake's weight.

Check out the pics from Tuesday -- Brooks was hanging with her sister Sarah Jane in Mexico, but LBR, she wasn’t about to share the spotlight ... rocking a cropped white cherry-print shirt over a teeny red bikini, paired with tiny matching bottoms that left very little to the imagination.

The federal presence of ICE and Customs and Border Protection agents in Minnesota is intensifying as new video shows agents smashing a man's car window before abducting him from a Minneapolis gas station ... moments before a second man is violently arrested.

"We're trying to get status. Got a Honduran here. We're trying to get status" ... that's the explanation an agent gives as to why approximately a dozen officers are surrounding a Jeep Cherokee in a Speedway.

Watch the video ... they do not "get status." Before they can obtain any information from the man -- who refused to open his car door for the gang of masked men sent to intimidate him -- an agent breaks his window and begins dragging him out of his vehicle.
