Nicki Minaj is apparently one step closer to becoming an American citizen ... and is flaunting her new Trump Gold Card to prove it -- which she hinted she got at no charge!

Check out her tweets from Wednesday -- the Trinidad-born rapper posted a photo of a Trump Gold Card in her hand, and in another tweet said it was "free of charge" ... and that she was finalizing her paperwork for citizenship. She also raved about President Donald Trump, calling him her "wonderful, gracious, charming" president.

If you remember, Trump introduced the Gold Card program in September 2025. All folks need to do is pay a $15,000 "DHS processing fee" and a "$1 million gift" ... and they'll be fast-tracked to receive U.S. residency "in record time," according to the government page for the card.

Tom walked Kendall and Jimmy through his thoughts on each team ... which Kendall pretended to follow along with, leading to laughs from the audience. At the end of his analysis, Kendall decided she'd go with the "underdog" Pats.

7:32 PM PT -- Sources close to Kenan tell TMZ ... this was a contractual disagreement and not about him choosing to not pay rent. Our sources tell us Kenan never received the keys to the property and had never even stepped foot on the property.

Kenan Thompson is being dragged to court by a landlord, who claims he owes over $34,000 for breaking his lease on a rental home.

According to a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the 'SNL' star is being sued for allegedly breaching a 12-month lease for a 3-bedroom rental property in Los Angeles.

In the docs, the landlord claims they entered into a written lease agreement with Kenan in September ... they say the lease started October 1 and Kenan agreed to pay the $10,250 rent for a year before the lease would go month-to-month.

It looks like Jenna Wolfe and Stephanie Gosk will NOT be getting back together to try and save their marriage ... because Stephanie just filed for divorce ... TMZ has learned.

The NBC News correspondent beelined it to court Wednesday and filed to divorce the former "Today" host after nearly 13 years of marriage ... according to online records.

Jenna and Stephanie had been separated since September 2021 ... but now it's Stephanie making the first move and pulling the trigger on a divorce filing.

Brooke Nevils -- a woman who accused Matt Lauer of raping her in a hotel room during the 2014 Winter Olympics -- has revisited the brutal experience she says left her broken.

After first reporting Matt in 2017, Brooke has now written a memoir, "Unspeakable Things: Silence, Shame and the Stories We Choose to Believe," which details the initial assault and explains her consensual encounters that followed.

In an excerpt, published by The Cut, Brooke writes, "I have spent the long years since using my otherwise abandoned skills as a journalist to report and write the book about sexual harassment and assault that I wish had existed for me."

Halle Berry came to turn heads, and mission accomplished.

The actress stole the spotlight at the "Crime 101" premiere in London on Wednesday, stepping out in a show-stopping look that was impossible to ignore.

Berry rocked a plunging black bodysuit paired with a silver, bejeweled maxi skirt that shimmered under the lights and hugged her silhouette perfectly. The bold combo struck the ideal balance between sleek and glamorous, making it clear she understood the assignment.

Lizzo is taking the sudden death of Beauty 2 The Streetz founder Shirley Raines pretty hard ... and she's wearing her emotions on her sleeve.

The "Truth Hurts" singer took to social media Wednesday to react to Ms. Shirley's passing ... and the tears started flowing as Lizzo spoke about Shirley on camera.

As we reported ... the viral social media star was found dead Tuesday night in Nevada, where she was discovered unresponsive next to her bed during a wellness check. Her sister told us Shirley had been healthy and was not on any medication.

7:41 PM PT -- We've obtained Gervonta "Tank" Davis mugshot. His bond has been set at $16,000.

Gervonta "Tank" Davis is in police custody two weeks after officials put out a warrant for his arrest over domestic violence allegations ... TMZ Sports has learned.

A spokesperson for the Miami Gardens Police Department says Davis was scooped up on Wednesday. U.S. Marshals were involved in the search for the undefeated boxer, but the circumstances surrounding how he was ultimately tracked down remain unclear at this time.

As we previously reported ... authorities in the 305 announced on Jan. 14 the 31-year-old was wanted on three charges -- battery, false imprisonment and attempted kidnapping.

1/28/2026 7:30 PM PT -- Haley's lawyer adds to the back and forth battle, telling us ... “Minnesota is so committed to protecting First Amendment rights that it recently passed a law allowing speakers to recover their attorneys’ fees if they are forced to endure a lawsuit for exercising those rights. We will be seeking such an award here.”

5:30 PM PT -- Legal counsel for Haley Kalil -- Matthew Bialick -- tells TMZ Sports ... “We moved to dismiss the complaint because Minnesota has a longstanding commitment to free speech, which is important now more than ever. Allowing a lawsuit to proceed against a woman for sharing a truthful, autobiographical account of sexual trauma would directly undermine those core values."

Bialick ends his statement to us with a counter to Matt's, saying ... "We believe the motion will be granted."

3:26 PM PT -- Matt Kalil's legal team scoffed at Haley's filing ... telling TMZ Sports she missed the point.

"Haley Kalil's motion to dismiss does not dispute the fact that she wantonly disclosed private and intimate details about Matt Kalil that resulted in widespread ridicule and unwanted attention," Ryan Saba of Rosen Saba LLP told us ... reiterating their stance that a "spouse does not have a right to expose private and confidential marital and sexual details for the purpose of profiting."

"We expect that the motion will be completely denied."

Haley Kalil is firing back at her ex-husband Matt Kalil after he sued her for shockingly claiming his penis size torpedoed their marriage ... and she wants his lawsuit thrown out of court.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, Haley says Matt is cherry-picking comments she made on a November 2025 livestream ... and missing the point she was trying to make.

Haley says she praised Matt in the stream when she also described his penis as the size of two soda cans, and doubles down on her claim that his girth contributed to their 2022 divorce.

She says Matt had a "specific anatomical incompatibility that rendered a normal sexual relationship impossible" and says they had a "loving union that was ultimately hindered by an unfortunate physical incompatibility."
