We knew this was coming, but not with quite the panache that Melissa McCarthy brought to her role as press secretary Sean Spicer -- spicy!
The actress took on the controversial White House appointee in this fierce Saturday Night Live skit, highlighting the secretary's "alternative facts," his berating of the media and his love of chewing and swallowing gum (gross!).
And SNL didn't stop there -- Alec Baldwin continued his reign as chief impersonator of President Donald Trump with this hilarious skit mocking the President's recent phone call with the prime minister of Australia. Watch it and love it!

Kim Kardashian touched down in Van Nuys on Friday with Nori and Saint in tow, after giving her testimony to French police in the Paris robbery case. Don't forget -- the theft happened back in October, so this has been an almost four-month process. French authorities arrested 12 suspects, but the jewelry and other effects haven't been found. It's believe the pieces were torn apart, gold melted down and jewels sold individually. In fact one report speculates the case and money from the sale of the jewelry could be going to fund ISIS -- that sucks.
After the Kardashian-Jenner family vacay in Costa Rica, Kylie, Tyga, Kris, Kourtney and Khloe flew back to LA and Kim diverted to NY with the kids, specifically to give her deposition. Kanye stayed in LA the whole time, prepping for his Yeezy Season 5 show at New York Fashion Week next weekend. He hit the gym with his trainer and a friend on Saturday, where they usually get together to play basketball. We'd like to see Kanye's moves one day!
Kanye and Kim are expected to debut their new kids' line as well and we wouldn't be surprised if little Nori takes to the catwalk! Check out Ye's reaction when we mentioned Nori modeling the couple's new looks ...
Jennifer Lopez is known to have the best bod in Hollywood, and she proved it by posting this smoking' Instagram of herself flashing a lot of underboob and her rock hard abs. "Getting this mind and body ready for Vegas," she captioned the snapshot while promoting her Sin City residency.
Jenny from the Block is famous for making curves desirable, but she recently admitted that she never appreciated her physique until later in life. "I never appreciated my body or my looks when I was in my 20s. Now I’m like, Look at me! Look at you! Not in a conceited or arrogant way — I just appreciate myself in a way I didn’t when I was that age. And it’s not about perfection. I like the scars that I have," she explained.
The Bronx-born beauty also revealed why she likes younger guys!
"Men in their 20s are very confident and cocky. And women are super insecure. And then it flips: Men get super insecure, and women get comfortable in their own skin, in a way that makes them more beautiful," she noted. We'd have to agree with her on that!
Apparently, J.Lo is still interested in Drake, but she's concerned they might not be a good match.
"Jennifer Lopez is still really into Drake and he is into her too, but he is also all over the place. He works a lot, travels a lot and is not giving J.Lo the time and attention she is used to in a relationship,†a source dished to Hollywood Life.
"The age difference is becoming a bit of an issue too. Casper [Smart] was much younger than J.Lo and it worked out well cause he devoted all his time to her. Drake is much younger than J.Lo, but he is so successful he has a lot of distractions that are getting in the way of things getting super hot with her. Drake may not be mature enough to handle his own celebrity status and still hold down a superstar like J.Lo," the source added.
We still think she should get back with Ben Affleck! Bennifer was the ultimate power couple!

Having two buns in the oven isn't slowing her down!
Beyonce will perform at this year's Grammys, after announcing this week that she's pregnant with twins. Her father Matthew let the news slip after talking about a phone call they had this week. "She sounded a little tired ’cause she’s been working on the Grammy performance," he blabbed to The Insider.
The songstress is up for nine awards at the ceremony, including Album of the Year and Song of the Year.
As for her upcoming headlining performance at Coachella, that's still up in the air. If she doesn't end up playing the music festival, she will still get a $1 million paycheck due to an insurance payout, TMZ reports.
Nobody can say this woman doesn't work her booty off!

Are we the only ones that think this looks awkward?!
Kendall Jenner posed in nothing but undies and a bra for the new issue of Love magazine, and let's just say this isn't her best work. The model looks uncomfortable in her skin and way too skinny, and the way she's pretending to smoke a cigarette looks weird. She's a pretty girl, but she's no Gigi Hadid!
Perhaps she's looking a little skeletal because she painted her house in a color that makes you not want to eat!
"I decided to paint [my living room wall] pink because while I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with the room, I went to dinner with friends and they had just gone to the 'Human Condition' exhibition at a former hospital in LA. They were telling me there's a pink room at the exhibit that had an explanation of the color choice: Baker-Miller Pink is the only color scientifically proven to calm you AND suppress your appetite. I was like, 'I NEED this color in my house!' I then found someone to paint the room and now I'm loving it!" she told Elle magazine.
We're ready for a new wave of "It" girls, because Kenny and her friends just aren't doing it for us anymore.

The backlash over President Trump is hitting his daughter's pocketbook.
Ivanka Trump's brand has been dropped from Nordstrom, but the retailer insists they chose to stop selling the items because they weren't performing well, not because of that whole Grab Your Wallet campaign.
"We’ve said all along we make buying decisions based on performance. In this case, based on the brand’s performance, we’ve decided not to buy it for this season," a Nordstrom spokesperson told Fortune.
The campaign to boycott a list of companies that support Donald Trump has really taken off, and includes such popular brands as New Balance. The move seems to have ignited a trend, as 15 products from Ivanka's jewelry line are mysteriously missing from the Neiman Marcus website as of this morning.
If you don't understand what we're talking about, let us explain...

She won't give up trying to tell the stories that are difficult to hear.
Angelina Jolie released the trailer for her new Netflix passion project First They Killed My Father yesterday, and to make it authentic, she only used Cambodian actors and survivors of the genocide and narrated it in the native Khmer.
The film is based on an autobiography of Cambodian human rights activist and friend of Jolie’s Loung Ung, and it details the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge communist party in the 1970s.
"It's the first time there's something on this size about this war in this country. I feel like nobody is here for themselves and everybody here to do any job is here to put something forward and help their country speak," she explains in the clip.
The region holds a special place in the Oscar winner's heart, as she shot Lara Croft: Tomb Raider there in 2001 and adopted son Maddox from an orphanage in Battambang, Cambodia, in 2002. Her eldest son inspired her to take on the movie.
"He was the one who just called it and said he was ready and that he wanted to work on it, which he did. He read the script, helped with notes, and was in the production meetings," she told The Guardian.
First They Killed My Father will premiere in Siem Reap, Cambodia on February 18, and will be released globally on Netflix later this year.
