Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe is taking some heat after his appearance at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally ... cracking a joke about Puerto Rico that's got some big names up in arms.

The controversial comic -- who is known for pushing the envelope in his sets -- took the stage in NYC Sunday before the former POTUS came out ... and, he made jokes skewering people of all races and creeds.

While many of his jokes drew positive or mixed reactions from the crowd, one did not seem to go over well in the building ... when Hinchcliffe joked there's a floating island of garbage in the ocean -- and, it's called Puerto Rico.

11:00 AM PT -- A source with direct knowledge tells us Chappell Roan yelled at the photographer on Friday because the same person pissed her off at a different event with alleged obnoxious behavior ... and CR remembered.

The photog did offer an apology ... but it's not clear if it was accepted.

Chappell Roan can't escape all the drama in her life .... or the paparazzi!!!

Singer Loomis is giving insight into her botched take on the National Anthem ... defending she's actually a good singer, despite her poor performance.

We caught up with artist in Los Angeles Friday, after she asked to "go back" and start again while singing the U.S. anthem during the Free and Equal Elections Presidential Debate Wednesday.

However, Loomis defended that her nerves and her confusion about how the event was being broadcast caused her to make her impromptu request mid-song.

Step aside, Fergie ... up-and-coming singer Loomis is the latest person to totally butcher the National Anthem, and the flub is super toe-curling, to say the least.

As you can see, the singer starts off strong at the Free and Equal Elections Presidential Debate on Thursday ... but quickly goes off-key, losing her cool and begging into the mic, "I f***ed it up, I f***ed it up. Can I go back, can I go back please?"

As if that weren't enough, a cameraman chimes in to let her know she’s live -- and she’s horrified, trying to soldier on ... but her cracking voice gets worse.

Bill Belichick's cheerleader girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, is so flippin' mad over some recent jabs a radio host threw her alma mater's way ... she's now issuing a challenge to the woman in an attempt to completely embarrass her.

The beef all began on Monday ... when Winnie Akoury -- who appears on Kiss 108's "Billy & Lisa in the Morning" -- trashed Bridgewater State University's cheerleading program.

Denzel Washington was fired up, going full "Training Day" as he let loose on a group of paparazzi ... and possibly some autograph seekers ... who clearly pushed the wrong buttons.

Check out the video ... the actor was all smiles, posing for pics outside NYC's Museum of Modern Art on Wednesday -- but it seems at least one person in the overzealous crowd crossed a line ... and Denzel didn't hold back checking that person ... in what appeared to be a heated exchange.

You can't catch most of the convo, but you can hear Denzel pretty much warning them to chill out and wait patiently and respectfully ... saying they'd get a chance to see him on the flip side -- or maybe not, depending on their behavior.

Baker Mayfield was spotted poppin' a ZYN during "Monday Night Football" ... but if you thought the company behind the nicotine pouches would be thrilled with the free promotion -- think again!!

Swedish Match -- which manufactures ZYN -- got wind of Mayfield catching a buzz before the second half of the Buccaneers vs. Ravens game at Raymond James Stadium ... and let's just say it had a mixed reaction to the moment.

"Swedish Match appreciates its loyal consumers and encourages them not to show the product in any situation where someone under 21 years old could see it," a ZYN spokesperson told TMZ Sports.

Cardi continued, sharing her frustration over CPS showing up at her gated mansion at 11 PM while her 3 kids -- whom she shares with her estranged hubby Offset -- were sleeping ... adding the anonymous caller had reported the kids were being abused and beaten.

2:23 PM PT -- Ariana Grande is issuing a public apology to Elvira after the Mistress of the Dark called out the pop star for some alleged bad behavior many years ago.

After Elvira's criticism went viral, with the TV personality even sharing one article about the drama on her Instagram feed, the singer took to the comments and shared her side of the story.

She wrote ... "i’m so disheartened to see this. i actually don’t even remember getting the chance to meet you because i had an anxiety attack and to my memory, left before the rest of my family (this was around 7 years ago and at the time i was really not great with being in public crowds or loud places)… but if i’m misremembering this moment, i sincerely apologize for offending you so."

Catherine Banks, who served 8 years in the Marines, says she was on a Delta flight in San Francisco earlier this week, when she says a flight attendant walked up to her and said, "You need to get off the plane."

She says he told her the shirt she was wearing was "threatening." The t-shirt had a print that read, "Do Not Give in to the War Within ... End Veteran Suicide.”
