Von suggests The Rizzler wear a mask or beard to avoid the recognition -- but the shrug of Rizz's shoulders makes us think he’s not all that upset about the lack of Disney in his life. He seems much happier at Knicks games or throwing out the first pitch at a Mets game ... which he reveals is the team he'd love to play for one day.

It’s the ultimate Prince of Darkness palace, his burial site draped in bouquets of deep purple blooms.

Dave Franco is keeping an open mind about possibly playing Luigi Mangione in a potential biopic ... and it sounds like lots of folks in his life think he would be perfect for the role.

The actor was on 'Watch What Happens Live' with Andy Cohen when a fan asked him straight up whether he would play Luigi in a movie if he was offered the chance.

Dave says no one has approached him about such a role yet, but ... tons of people in his circle have raised the same possibility -- and it's actually the thing he gets asked about more than "anything else that has ever happened." Makes sense, Dave and Luigi bear a striking resemblance.

6:41 AM PT -- United States Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro tells TMZ ... “It’s time we start taking crime more seriously irrespective of the age of the criminal. No longer can we coddle criminals while innocent victims are being assaulted and maimed as young violent criminals avoid consequences. It’s time for this to end.”

Donald Trump is furious about what he sees as out-of-control violence in Washington, D.C. -- and he's pointing to a specific case that's really hitting home for him!

47 is super pissed that former DOGE staffer Edward "Big Balls" Coristine was savagely beaten by a bunch of juveniles in D.C. over the weekend and now he's threatening to federalize the nation's capital. Elon Musk was the head of DOGE -- the Department of Government Efficiency -- before exiting the administration after having a falling out with Trump.

In a Truth Social post Tuesday, Trump went off on local officials, saying teen gang members had taken over D.C. and are "randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent Citizens."

He added that if D.C. didn't get its act together he would be forced to take federal control of the city to put criminals on notice because "they’re not going to get away with it anymore." Trump also cited the assault of "Big Balls" and posted a bloody photo of Coristine after the beatdown.

According to a police report obtained by TMZ, "Big Balls" was with his significant other, Emily Bryant, near his vehicle in D.C. in the early morning hours Sunday. Police say a group of 10 juveniles confronted them and said something about stealing their car.

Cops say "Big Balls" shoved Bryant inside the vehicle and turned toward the assailants, who began brutally assaulting him. Officers on patrol witnessed the assault and arrested 2 of the suspects, while police say the other attackers ran away with one stolen item -- an iPhone worth $1,000.

The DHS website features the details of the announcement.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... Dean Cain pulling up to deport undocumented individuals???

The 'Lois & Clark' actor is encouraging his Instagram followers to join the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency ... touting the new benefits enlistees can receive.

Cain says since Donald Trump took office mere months ago, ICE has arrested "hundreds of thousands of criminals" ... getting some of the worst of the worst off the streets.

John Cena says his recent hair transplant has "completely" altered his life ... and he's ticked he didn't get the procedure done sooner.

The WWE Superstar -- who revealed back in April he had the scalp surgery after fans taunted him over his thinning hair -- went in-depth on the matter with PEOPLE this week ... and it ain't hard to tell he's loving his new look.

"It completely changed the course of my life," he said.

Brooke Hogan says she did not attend her father Hulk Hogan's funeral ... because she believes it's what he would've wanted.

In a lengthy social media post Tuesday night, Brooke writes, "My father hated the morbidity of funerals. He didn't want one. And although I know people grieve in many ways - and I'm so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how...privately...the way that made me feel the closest to him."

Instead, Brooke says she honored her father by taking her children to the beach -- placing them in the salty water he loved so much. She adds the "only thing missing today" was Hulk in his pop-up lawn chair while watching the waves and the sunset.

A Hulk Hogan-esque cloud appeared in the sky outside of his funeral on Tuesday ... stunning attendees as they said their final goodbyes to the WWE legend.

One of Hogan's good pals, Dee Jay Silver, said in an Instagram post the Hulk-like haze formed near Indian Rocks Baptist Church in Largo, Fla. ... just as the sun was setting on the icon's memorial service.

It certainly seemed to have a striking resemblance to the Hulkster ... as it mimicked one of his famous poses to a T.
