President Barack Obama (we intentionally omitted "former" in front of his title, because we're still in denial) hit the gym, Saturday, in Rancho Mirage where he's spending a few relaxing days golfing and unwinding after eight years in the White House.
As President Donald Trump took the reigns, Obama told the country of his need for a little R&R and time with the family before getting back to work -- work which would still be in the public service.
In fact, he and Michelle announced, the day of their departure from Washington, D.C., that they are starting a "working startup for citizenship, which sounds awesome. In this video, the President and his wife explain the work the foundation will do and how we the people will shape its mission.

Ben Affleck rolled up to church in Brentwood Sunday in a new Bentley, looking like a total baller. And guess what? Wife Jennifer Garner and son Samuel didn't even get to ride with him in his new ride!
Ben just returned from the premiere of his new film Live By Night in London and in Paris. While the actor was promoting the film, in an interview with British Radio 1, Affleck finally addressed the "Sad Ben" meme that arose from an interview he did with Batman vs Superman co-star Henry Cavill, to promote that film back in March of last year, saying: "It taught me not to do interviews with Henry Cavill where I don’t say anything and they can lay Simon and Garfunkel tracks over it. That’s one thing I learned."

This is definitely taking it TOO far ...
A writer for Saturday Night Live Tweeted Saturday that 10-year-old Barron Trump “will be this country’s first homeschool shooter." Katie Rich has since deleted the Tweet after suffering some major flack for her extremely inappropriate post. The Tweet was up for about three hours before the SNL writer delete it and made her Twitter account private. Everyone agrees ... Trump's son Barron -- and all children -- are OFF LIMITS!
Rich wasn't the only one to target the young Barron ... Modern Family actress Julie Bowen posted a series of Tweets mocking the little boy during Inauguration Day. Humorous, some say, trolling and inappropriate, say many others. Bowen joked about Barron appearing to play with his Gameboy during the event and then feeling ashamed of daddy Donald as the new president bopped his head during a performance by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
Fans reacted by calling her Tweets inappropriate -- and some took it a step farther, saying they would unfollow her and stop watching her hit show.
Speaking of SNL, the politically-conscious show continued with their criticism of Trump last night, in this skit of "Vladimir Putin" congratulating the U.S. on the inauguration of our new president ...
Clearly the cast and producers of the show are already feeling nostalgic for President Obama and cast members Cecily Strong and Sasheer Zamata performed this tribute in the form of the song "To Sir, With Love."
Poll
Should President Trump's son Barron be off-limits?
He's a public figure now whether he wants to be or not - fair game.

Whoa -- talk about bad blood!
Justin Bieber has NO love for fellow chart-topper The Weeknd, and we're pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that the hitmaker is dating BIebs' ex Selena Gomez.
Cameras caught Bieber out on the town Friday night at Delilah and a paparazzo asked him if listens to the fellow Canadian's music. Bieber responded, curtly, with: "Hell no, I can't listen to a Weeknd song!" Bieber replied. "That s--t's wack." DAYUM!
After Selena was photographed with The Weeknd and Santa Monica hotspot Giorgio Baldi just over a week ago, fans have been wild with speculation that Bieber's jealous and upset. Well, it seems they're right!
Gomez and The Weeknd were spotted out again, recently, at Silver Lake nightclub Tenant of the Trees where John Meyer and Dave Chappelle did and impromptu performance.
Meanwhile, it's not just Justin who's upset, The Weeknd's ex Bella Hadid unfollowed Selena on Instagram after Gomez and her ex were spotted on the dinner date January 15th. When sexual partners rotate in Hollywood, there IS fallout!

Resilience!
Carrie Fisher's daughter Billie Lourd is staying strong after the death of her mother and grandmother just after Christmas and by her side through it all has been boyfriend Taylor Lautner.
The couple headed to the Barney's sale Saturday and enjoyed some lunch at department store restaurant. They were low-key, focused on each other ... and their phones -- perhaps watching the Womens Marches in LA, DC, NY and around the world yesterday, as many of us were.
The young actress has been keeping it quite together in the new year; she's been posting tributes to her mother and grandmother as part of the healing process and no doubt, Taylor's been a key part of the process. Lourd posted this Instagram a week ago, remembering the close bond she had with her mom and acknowledging that humor would help her heal ...

Back to our regularly-scheduled programming ... enough serious stuff about Womens Marches and politics, let's talk about Caitlyn Jenner's manicure!
Apparently Caitlyn's planned dance with President Trump didn't happen (too bad, that would have been AMAZING), but she partied so hard that she lost a gel! We spotted CJ returning from Washington, D.C. yesterday and realized, upon close inspection of our photos, that while her gel manicure looked amazing in patriotic red, she was missing a nail on her thumb!
No doubt she'll have her nail technician taking care of this today and by the time we see her at Starbucks in Malibu, it'll be fixed.
We tried to get a comment out of the notoriously quiet reality star regarding the presidential inauguration, but, in keeping with her reputation, she stayed mum ...

Fight on, ladies!
Women -- and men and children -- all over the country and the world are taking to the streets today to protest against the language, the proposed policies and the attitude of President Donald Trump the day after the pussy-grabbing dude took office.
Actress Ashley Judd is PISSED and she eloquently, angrily, lyrically presented her argument in a poem written by a 19-year-old young woman in from her home state of Tennessee, Nina Donovan. She interrupted Michael Moore on the stage at the Women's March in Washington, D.C. to speak her piece -- to great effect, we think.
Madonna jumped in as well, dropped some F-bombs and read from a script. She says she's thought about "blowing up the White House" and told Trump to "suck a d*ck." Wow! Hey, she's not a seasoned protester ...
Scarlett Johansson spoke about her experience with Planned Parenthood and got personal ...

Donald Trump supporter Kanye West skipped the presidential inauguration Friday and instead, just went to dinner with pals. It would have been a coup for Trump to have gotten Kanye to perform at in Washington, D.C., but alas, since Kanye's nervous breakdown, the rapper hasn't again publicly spoken in favor of the incoming President.
Instead, Kanye hit up one of his favorite restaurants with friends and again, we noticed some new kicks on his feet. Could these be another Yeezy prototype?
X17online had EXCLUSIVE photos of Kanye's other Yeezy design and fans railed against the huge soles and clunky design. These look a little better ... what do YOU think?
