Jemele Hill says President Donald Trump's deployment of ICE is tearing the fabric of the United States apart ... and, she hopes he can do some soul-searching before it's too late.

We ran into the TV personality at LAX on Tuesday ... and, we asked her about the recent killings of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota, as well as the ongoing unrest in the city.

Hill says Americans have witnessed two state-sanctioned executions in the streets this month alone ... and high-ranking government officials lied about at least one of them.

Eddie Hearn is getting brutally honest about Anthony Joshua’s headspace after he survived a devastating fatal crash … saying the boxing ring may once again be a refuge for the superstar.

After spending time with the former heavyweight champion recently, the Matchroom promoter said Tuesday on "The Ariel Helwani Show" it feels like boxing has already pulled Joshua through dark moments before ... and it’s about to do it again.

"It almost feels like, being with him recently, boxing saved him -- and it will probably save him again," Hearn said, predicting Joshua won't walk away. "I think he will fight on, and I think he'll do it in their honor. But it's not going to be easy."

Joshua has been recovering since two of his friends lost their lives on December 29, 2025, when the Lexus SUV they were riding in with Joshua crashed into a stationary truck on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway in Nigeria.

There have been retirement rumors swirling in the aftermath ... though Joshua hasn't addressed his future yet.

Hearn says Joshua was riding an emotional high after the Jake Paul fight -- a much-needed boost after a painful year that included his loss to Daniel Dubois.

"Last year was painful for him," Hearn said. "Just seeing him so happy after the Jake Paul fight, and then that happens -- it's devastating."

Still, Hearn believes Joshua’s perspective -- shaped by extreme highs and crushing lows -- is what makes him different.

"He's an inspiration. He really is," Hearn said. "I always say, 'This too shall pass.' People think that saying is only for when you’re having a bad time, but actually, it’s reflective on both sides of the fence."

Attorney and cohost of "The MeidasTouch" podcast Ben Meiselas is weighing in on a question on the back of all of our minds ahead of Super Bowl LX ... will ICE enter the stadium and potentially make the event about them?

Ben -- who represented former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick -- stopped by "TMZ Live" Tuesday, and he started by sharing his hopes for the big day, saying ... "I hope we don't have masked agents running around in California and running around the Super Bowl ... I certainly hope that."

But the reality could be different.

Ben said, "I know by now -- and I think the American people should realize by now -- that kind of blind hope that this regime, as I call it, will do the right thing ... I'm not there yet."

UFC 324 was costly for Rose Namajunas ... not only did the former champ come up short on the scorecards against Natalia Silva, but she also suffered a severe eye injury that's forcing her under the knife.

"Thug Rose" shared the bad news with fans on Instagram on Tuesday, showing off her shiner after her unanimous decision loss to the now No. 1 fighter in the women's flyweight division.

Namajunas says the injury stems from eye-pokes "a few times in the fight." As a result, she says her tear duct tore, and she will now require a silicone tube be inserted into her eye for three months.

There’s a troubling update on Quinton Aaron’s health after his recent hospitalization ... TMZ has learned doctors have found a rare cyst on his spine.

Family sources tell TMZ the cyst was discovered after a series of tests, and doctors are now running more exams to determine whether it’s benign.

We’re told back surgery is now on the table ... and if that happens, the 40-year-old actor will face extensive physical therapy and could be confined to a wheelchair for some time.

The Buffalo Bills have found their replacement for Sean McDermott, and the hire's coming from in-house -- offensive coordinator Joe Brady!

JB's reportedly signing a five-year deal.

Kevin Durant is well aware of the countless social media posts about his dry skin ... but the joke's on the haters behind the tweets -- 'cause he's laughing to the bank!!

The Houston Rockets superstar sat in front of a camera and read some mean posts ... while providing some classic clap-backs in the process.

KD gave props to the funny and creative jabs ... but he came out on top overall -- since the whole clip was part of an ad with CeraVe.

Kendall Jenner is officially in on the joke -- and she’s using the Super Bowl spotlight to poke fun at one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan's most infamous pop-culture myths.

In a new Fanatics Sportsbook ad, Kendall leans straight into the so-called "Kardashian Curse," the long-running internet theory that athletes' careers mysteriously nosedive after dating someone from the famous family.

"Haven't you heard? The internet says I'm cursed," she says in the spot. "Any basketball player who dates me kind of hits ... a rough patch."

Sean Durzi's fight with a Tampa Bay Lightning player didn't end on the ice -- the Utah Mammoth defenseman launched into a full profanity-laced tirade once the two landed in the penalty box, appearing to call the guy a "f***ing p***y!"

It all boiled over when Durzi and Declan Carlile started throwing hands in Monday night's contest at the Benchmark International Arena in Tampa, Florida.

Once the two were separated, they were both sent to the penalty box ... but Durzi, who had a beat-up face, was far from finished.

Amid rising tensions in the States, some ICE agents are getting out of Dodge ... U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will play a role in providing security in Italy during the 2026 Winter Olympics, which start in February.

The federal agents will not be running immigration enforcement, but will instead help provide diplomatic security during the Games in Milan, according to the Associated Press, a role they've also played during past Olympics.

As you might expect, given recent headlines surrounding the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, not everyone is rolling out the red carpet for ICE ... including the mayor of the host city, Milan, who isn't happy.

Nike and Kim Kardashian brought out the big guns for their latest collab ... enlisting BLACKPINK's LISA to model their new line with a majestic dance.

The Thai K-pop mega star -- who recently inked a deal with the Swoosh -- starred in an ad for NikeSKIMS that dropped on Tuesday ... which shows her doing her best "modern ballerina" moves while rocking their Spring '26 Collection.

LISA's one of the most popular names out right now, so the company joining forces with the musician and 'White Lotus' actress already made a ton of sense ... but it turned out to be a total no-brainer after having put her signature choreography on display for the campaign.

Notable figures from across the sports world continue to speak out on the Alex Pretti shooting ... with several NBA superstars condemning what happened in Minnesota over the weekend.

Donovan Mitchell, Tyrese Haliburton, and Karl-Anthony Towns – as well as the NBA Players Association as a whole -- have let their thoughts be known in the aftermath of a pair of U.S. citizens being shot by officers.

"I don’t know the whole situation of the people that got murdered, but I do know this is BS," Mitchell told reporters after Cleveland’s win over Orlando on Monday. "It’s BS. That's just been my standpoint on it."

Coco Gauff lost her cool in a HUGE way Tuesday, smashing the hell out of her racquet after she got her butt kicked in straight sets at the Australian Open.

The American tennis phenom was beaten handily by Ukraine's Elina Svitolina 6-1, 6-2 in the quarterfinals of the grand slam tournament in Melbourne.

After Coco stomped off the court, she went to town on her tennis racquet out of sight of the crowd at the Rod Laver Arena ... but a photog managed to catch her temper tantrum.

Laila Edwards' family will get to watch her in the Olympics thanks to a huge donation from Travis and Jason Kelce -- and the hockey star tells TMZ Sports she can't thank the brothers enough for the assist.

The University of Wisconsin standout was named to Team USA's roster for the 2026 Winter Olympics earlier this month ... and a GoFundMe was launched to help some of her family get to Italy to see her compete.

The Kelce brothers pitched in $10K, which got her way over her goal -- something she said was unbelievable.
