Megan Rapinoe went off on the Team USA men's hockey team after their historic Olympics victory -- calling the players clowns for visiting Donald Trump, saying the move tarnished their moment of glory.

Rapinoe -- an Olympic medalist and two-time FIFA Women’s World Cup champion -- spoke her mind on the latest episode of her podcast with her WNBA legend wife Sue Bird ... starting by saying Team USA's White House visit is what she calls a "classic ripping defeat from the jaws of victory."

"The United States men's hockey team, in their utter moment of glory, childhood dreams come true, once in a lifetime accomplishment, sensational, ruined it for themselves," Rapinoe said.

"Because they allowed themselves to be totally co-opted by a clown. And now you're a clown. You look like a clown."

TMZ has obtained intense footage of the barn fire that killed "The Wire" actor Bobby J. Brown this week ... and it shows the large structure covered in thick smoke.

We also obtained frightening dispatch audio that confirmed the barn was fully ablaze with a male trapped inside, after he tried to start an old Cadillac. Once the fire was under control, firefighters located Bobby inside ... but it was too late.

Benny defended his dogs ... saying Dicky's floors were dirty, and that's the reason why his feet were so nasty. He then took off a boot and his sock to show Jimmy, and viewers, his feet are pretty clean.

12:18 PM PT -- Brian King Joseph's lawyer tells TMZ ... "A jury’s ultimate determination matters more to us than Mr. Smith’s opinion of this case."

Will Smith is asking a judge to throw out the sexual harassment lawsuit against him ... with his lawyer alleging that the filing is just a desperate attempt to shake the star down for cash.

Remember ... violinist Brian King Joseph filed a lawsuit against Smith last month, in which he claimed he returned to his hotel room in Las Vegas and found a note reading, "Brian, I’ll be back...just us,” which was signed by “Stone F."

He also said that he found "wipes, a beer bottle, a red backpack, a bottle of HIV medication with another individual’s name, an earring, and hospital discharge paperwork belonging to a person unbeknownst to Plaintiff.”

Pink is being eyed to take over Kelly Clarkson's spot on her NBC talk show, according to a new report.

No word on where in the process Pink is. TMZ has reached out to her reps for comment ... so far, no word back.

U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick's time in the role could be significantly shortened ... because he's back in the crosshairs of Congress after a photo of him and Jeffrey Epstein together was restored to the Department of Justice's website.

The photo captures Epstein -- clad in a white T-shirt and matching pants -- cracking a grin with a group of dudes standing on a cliff overlooking the ocean.

In the middle, there's a man in a bright blue button-down shirt and shorts with his hands behind his back ... that's Lutnick -- and this photo was reportedly taken on Epstein's infamous island, Little St. James in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Eric Dane was celebrated Thursday evening by the TV show that launched his acting career -- "Grey's Anatomy" -- and it was picture-perfect!

Here's what happened ... at the end of Thursday night's episode, the ABC hospital drama aired a 60-second reel of montage images harkening back to Dane as the hunky character, Dr. Mark "McSteamy" Sloan. "McSteamy" was a fan fave for 7 seasons as he navigated through the pitfalls of his complex relationships and high-pressure medical job.    

Accompanying the montage clip was a soundtrack of a cover song, "Chasing Cars," by Tommee Profitt and Fleurie, which, you may recall, was also part of a montage commemorating the show broadcasting its 400th episode in 2022.

Johnny Gaudreau’s parents almost didn’t make the trip to Milan … and now they’re calling their change of heart one of the best decisions of their lives.

Guy and Jane Gaudreau were in Italy for a special tribute to their late sons after Team USA won gold at the 2026 Winter Olympics -- but they tell TMZ Sports they initially turned down the invitation because the pain was still too fresh.

“We declined it at first because it was just too difficult for us to go,” Jane said. “We were all supposed to go as a family and watch the games and watch him play.”

A strange situation unfolded late Thursday evening outside of the house where Nancy Guthrie was abducted earlier this month ... when a man was arrested for a reported DUI.

NewsNation’s Brian Entin reported the man drove slowly past Nancy’s Tucson-area home Thursday night “50 to 100 times” before being questioned by a photographer, who alleges to have seen a photo of Nancy on the individual’s phone. Finding this strange, the photog notified Pima County sheriff’s deputies, who spoke to the man for a significant amount of time.

Entin reports they had the individual step out of the car and take a field sobriety test. Apparently, he did not perform well because it appears law enforcement arrested the man on the spot.

Rihanna is doing nothing but work, work, work, work, work ... sharing a new video from inside the studio -- and fans are hoping it’s a sign fresh tunes are finally on the way.

RiRi took to social media Thursday to show a glimpse of her packed schedule ... kicking things off with a late-night meeting with her Savage x Fenty team. The session stretches deep into the night, with Rihanna seen reviewing ideas and signing off on concepts.

In 2015 Amy posted a YouTube video explaining that she had ocular toxoplasmosis ... an infection in the eye caused by a parasite. It is a very rare eye condition she's had since birth that caused her to become legally blind.

Mary Cosby is planning to move forward with the upcoming season of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" ... despite the sudden death of her son ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to production tell TMZ ... while some assumed Mary might step away when cameras go up for Season 7 after losing her son, Robert Cosby Jr., that's not the case as of now. We're told the decision to continue filming is entirely hers.

We're told Mary sees returning to work as a way to maintain some structure during an incredibly painful time as she leans heavily on her faith and inner circle. Our sources say Mary will participate in filming at whatever pace she feels is right ... and there's zero pressure.

We’re told the weight’s come off strictly due to Ozempic -- no hardcore gym grind -- and because of the GLP-1 drug, she’s eating way less than before.
