Former President Barack Obama made his first public appearance since the viral video President Trump posted, depicting Barack and former First Lady Michelle Obama as apes -- sitting courtside at the NBA All-star game Sunday.

It's good to see the 44th President of the United States enjoying himself, because he's been dealing with some B.S. lately.

Just days ago, he was responding to a video that depicted him and his wife as apes, which was later shared by President Donald Trump.

During an interview with Brian Tyler Cohen, Barack referred to both the social media posts and the administration's public behaviors as a "clown show" ... and he lamented the loss of "decorum" and "propriety" as it relates to the highest office in the land.

President Trump passed the blame onto an unnamed White House staffer ... and, he said he wouldn't apologize for the gaffe.

He not only showed up to the game, but came up clutch ... snagging a loose ball that came barreling straight for him on the sidelines!!!

Watch the video ... Barack is just hanging out with his wife Michelle, when the rock comes out of nowhere, almost hitting them ... but Barack's no stranger to the basketball court as he quickly catching the stray ball as it comes right at the former White House residents.

Talk about calm under pressure!

Bianca Censori could be taking the witness stand soon ... at least if a former Kanye West employee gets his way.

According to new court documents, obtained by TMZ, Tony Saxon -- the ex-project manager suing Kanye over the chaotic Malibu mansion remodel -- says he's calling Bianca to testify in the upcoming trial, currently set for February 21.

It's unclear what specific testimony he believes she can provide, but she's now potentially being lined up as a witness in the case.

As we previously reported ... Saxon sued Kanye, claiming he was hired in September 2021 as project manager, caretaker and 24/7 security for Kanye's Malibu property. In the lawsuit, Saxon alleges he worked brutal 16 hour days and was forced to sleep on the floor using a coat as makeshift bedding while overseeing the remodel.

Saxon claims things spiraled in November 2021 when Kanye allegedly demanded he remove all the home's windows and electricity. According to the suit, Saxon raised safety concerns, warning the moves posed "extreme danger," especially after Kanye allegedly insisted on bringing large generators inside something Saxon feared could spark a fire hazard.

He also claims Kanye threatened him, saying he'd be considered "an enemy" if he didn't comply, and told him, "If you don't do what I say, you're not going to work for me." Saxon says he refused and was fired on the spot.

Tony's suing for unpaid wages and labor code violations and potentially dragging Bianca into the courtroom drama.

Kanye has denied all allegations. In a November 2023 filing, his attorney argued that even if Saxon suffered damages -- which Kanye does not admit -- they were caused by other parties, not Kanye, and any liability should be reduced accordingly. Kanye also claimed Saxon performed work without his knowledge and asked the court to toss the lawsuit entirely.

Brooklyn Beckham didn't just send roses this Valentine’s Day ... he's sending a statement.

Brooklyn took to Instagram Sunday with a gushing tribute to wife Nicola Peltz, promising to "always protect" her in a post that felt equal parts romantic and resolute. Alongside loved up snaps, Brooklyn made it clear Nicola isn't just his Valentine ... she's his priority.

The public show of devotion comes amid ongoing tension within the Beckham family. While Brooklyn didn't reference the family feud directly, the vow to "protect" Nicola has plenty online speculating it's more than just flowery holiday language.

As you know, there's been a strain between Brooklyn and Nicola's famous parents, David and Victoria Beckham. Brooklyn alleged tensions boiled over at his wedding, claiming Victoria interrupted a planned moment when Marc Anthony was serenading the newlyweds.

According to Brooklyn, his mom instead danced with him in a way he described as inappropriate and humiliating.
