George Lopez said he and others would take out President Trump for half of Iran's reported multi-million dollar bounty on his head, and now ... he's got the attention of the Secret Service.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the U.S. Secret Service is aware of George's remark, and we're told they're working to see if his words carry any legitimacy as a threat.
We're being told part of the process in making this determination will include an interview with GL in some fashion, preferably a face-to-face. One source tells us George can probably expect a knock on his door soon, and he'll be finding agents on the other side.
The comedian made headlines this weekend after leaving a controversial comment on an Instagram account which regurgitated a story that Iranian officials supposedly recently put out an $80 mil offer for DT's life. GL responded to the news, "We'll do it for half."
He came under fire from both sides of the aisle -- especially conservatives -- with many saying he'd crossed a line with his quip. And, even if he was joking, as he later claimed, the death of an American President is obviously no laughing matter.
YG claims nearly half a million dollars in bling was taken right from under his nose -- and cops are on the case.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the rapper filed a police report Monday in L.A. for grand theft, telling police over $400,000 in personal jewelry had recently been jacked from his hotel room at the London. And, by "recently," we mean almost an entire week earlier.
We're told YG claims sometime between 11 PM on NYE and 11 AM the next morning, a briefcase containing high-priced pieces that had been placed on top of a safe was a little lighter than usual. YG told cops he noticed the missing valuables on Jan. 1 ... but for some reason, didn't get around to making an official report until 5 days later.
No suspects have been identified in the case yet ... we're told YG noted he had people coming in and out of his room that night. Makes sense -- it was a big holiday, after all.
That said, our sources say detectives will be looking into possible surveillance footage in and around the area to see if they can spot anything ... in addition to their usual investigatory methods.
Jorge Masvidal, winner of 4 Helwani Nose Awards (Male Fighter of the Year, Knockout of the Year, Comeback of the Year & Story of the Year) joins Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show to say 2020 will be even better than 2019. “Gamebred” says he’d rather fight Conor McGregor instead of Kamaru Usman, because the welterweight title will always be there. He also expresses desire in an eventual rematch vs. Nate Diaz and responds to getting called out by Nick Diaz. (12:58) Masvidal says he thinks he’ll be at UFC 246 and gives his thoughts on McGregor vs. Donald Cerrone.
Logan Paul has called out Antonio Brown -- TO FIGHT IN A BOXING MATCH -- and the craziest part?! Antonio Brown says he's down!
Paul -- whose rematch against KSI was one of the most-watched events on DAZN in 2019 -- had appeared on Barstool's KFC Radio in December and initially called out AB.
"Antonio Brown, I wanna f**k you up," Paul said at the time.
LP essentially explained that AB is out of a job and loves the spotlight -- and it could actually be a huge event.
Well, Brown is down ... tweeting at Paul late Monday night, "Square up!"
Paul fired back, "I’d drop you faster than the patriots."
Things have escalated to the point where a betting site has released betting odds on the possible matchup ... with Logan being the overwhelming favorite. AB could barely believe it.
So, how would they measure up?
Logan Paul -- 24 years old, 6'2", 190 lbs.
Antonio Brown -- 31 years old, 5'10", 185 lbs.
IT'S NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION!!!
Plus, Logan's right ... Brown's unemployed, a freak athlete and loves attention.
Logan has two fights under his belt -- though the first bout with KSI wasn't officially sanctioned. He lost the rematch but people were super impressed with his fighting skill.
Paul has been training ever since and has said he's seriously interested in taking more fights in both boxing and MMA.
As for Brown ... he's been unemployed since the Patriots cut him early in the 2019 NFL season and there's been so much off-the-field drama with him, no one really knows if another NFL team will ever take a chance on the WR ever again.
In other words, might be worth exploring other sports ... and this could be a good start.

(CNN) A Kenyan pastor stabbed his wife during a church service and then slit his throat in a murder-suicide witnessed by the shocked congregation, local police told CNN on Monday.
On Sunday, Elijah Misiko, an assistant pastor with the Ground for God's Gospel Church in Mombasa, left his front row seat and approached his wife, senior pastor Ann Mughoi, on the pulpit and stabbed her with one of the knives he'd hidden in an envelope, police said eyewitnesses told them.
"He walked up to his wife while the church was praying as if he wanted to whisper something to her," Mombasa sub-county police commander Julius Kiragu said. "Then he took one of the knives and stabbed her (wife) two times. He believed she was dead. He then stabbed himself three times in the stomach and slit his throat."
Misiko died instantly from his stab wounds and Mughoi died at a local hospital a few hours later, police said. The couple had been engaged in a long-running feud over the ownership and leadership of the church, Kiragu told CNN.
In 2017, Misiko was detained by the police in Mombasa after his wife alleged he planned to kill her, Kiragu said.
Misiko was released the following day after police said they found the accusations untrue, Kiragu said. The couple, which had four children, had lived apart since the dispute began two years ago, police said.
"She had been trying to stay away from the husband since the dispute over the ownership of the church began," Kiragu told CNN. "They had even reported the matter to church leaders but they were unable to resolve the dispute."
Misiko left a 17-page suicide note titled "Betrayal and it's Consequences."
In it, he accused Mughoi of taking everything they accumulated over 19 years, seizing his plot of land and church instruments/equipment by force, denied him visitation with his kids, was planning to marry someone else and changed ownership of the church they founded together, to her name alone.

LOS ANGELES — Harvey Weinstein, the former film mogul whose alleged pattern of sexual abuse fueled the #MeToo movement, was charged in Los Angeles on Monday with sexually assaulting two women, according to the Los Angeles District Attorney.
The charges come on the eve of jury selection in a criminal trial against Weinstein in New York, where he has been charged with felony sexual assault.
Weinstein is being charged in Los Angeles with raping one woman and sexually assaulting another in separate incidents on two consecutive days in February 2013, the district attorney's office said.
"We believe the evidence will show that the defendant used his power and influence to gain access to his victims and then commit violent crimes against them," District Attorney Jackie Lacey said, adding that prosecutors were recommending bail be set at $5 million.
Lacey's office has been reviewing as many as nine alleged sexual assault cases against the producer, as NBC News has previously reported. The cases are being reviewed by the office's entertainment sex crimes task force.
The news of the charges came just hours after Rose McGowan, Rosanna Arquette and other women who have accused Weinstein of sexual misconduct rallied near a New York City courthouse as he arrived for the first day of his criminal trial.
Weinstein, 67, entered the courthouse hunched over a walker after a reported back surgery. When asked how he was feeling, the visibly disheveled ex-producer smiled wanly.
But across the street, several women who have said they were harassed or assaulted by Weinstein insisted he was undeserving of sympathy, recounting his pattern of alleged serial sexual abuse and decrying the culture they claim enabled him for far too long.
"He looked cowardly. He wouldn't look at us. He wouldn't make eye contact," said Sarah Ann Masse, a writer and performer who alleged in an exclusive interview with Variety that Weinstein sexually harassed her while wearing his underwear during a 2008 job interview. "This trial is a cultural reckoning, regardless of its legal outcome."
Masse called on the jury to "make the right decision and put this dangerous man behind bars, where he can live out the rest of his days paying for his crimes."
Weinstein faces charges that he raped a woman in a Manhattan hotel room in 2013 and performed a forcible sex act on another woman in 2006. The activity in the courtroom Monday was largely procedural before proceedings were adjourned for the day, with jury selection expected to begin Tuesday.
If convicted as charged, Weinstein faces up to 28 years in state prison. He has vehemently denied all accusations of nonconsensual sexual activity.
Weinstein has pleaded not guilty in the case.
In all, more than 80 women have accused him of sexual misconduct going back decades, but the New York criminal trial centers on allegations from just two women. The allegations first came to light more than two years ago in investigative reports published by The New York Times and The New Yorker.
Gloria Allred, the powerful civil rights lawyer who is representing Weinstein accusers in Los Angeles and New York, said in a statement that the "walls of justice are closing in on" him.
"Mr. Weinstein's journey to justice is long overdue and the criminal justice system in Los Angeles is now forcing him to confront the accusers against him. Women are no longer willing to suffer in silence and are willing to testify under oath in a court of law," Allred said.
"We look forward to a just result and I am confident that Mr. Weinstein will receive the justice that he deserves," she added.
In a notable development Monday, the judge in the case ruled that Weinstein's defense cannot call to the witness stand the New York police detective who allegedly told an accuser to delete personal cell phone files to hide them from prosecutors, according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.
The judge, James B. Burke, ruled that Weinstein's lawyers cannot call NYPD Det. Nicholas DiGaudio, but they may question other witnesses about him.
The union representing DiGaudio, the Detectives' Endowment Association, has previously claimed he was “simply trying to get to the truth” and did not seek to influence the probe, according to The Associated Press.

A twisted couple in Oklahoma has been charged with murdering a 17-year-old girl as “payback” over a sexually transmitted disease, court documents show.
Andrew Hall, 30, and Cheyenne Blalock, 17, were charged Friday with first-degree murder in the death of Kirstan Patterson, who was found shot in the head Wednesday just hours after she was reported missing, KOTV reported.
“Be very careful who you hang out with and who you run around [with], because it can make a difference,” Mayes County Sheriff Mike Reed told the station. “I promise you your parents would rather get up at 1 in the morning and come and give you a ride home than something detrimental happen to you.”
Blalock told investigators that Hall had discussed killing Patterson as “payback” for a sexually transmitted disease and told her to text the teen to meet up with them on New Year’s Day, court documents show.
Hall made Blalock ride in the back of his car beneath a blanket as they picked up Patterson, she told deputies.
But Hall told investigators he thought Blalock — who was armed with knives — was “only going to physically assault” Patterson and was afraid she would turn violent if he didn’t comply with her demands, court records show.
Deputies allege that either Hall or Blalock then shot Patterson with a rifle they grabbed from Hall’s trunk. Investigators from the Mayes County Sheriff’s Office said Blalock and Hall have implicated each other in the slaying, the Tulsa World reported.
Blalock, meanwhile, has denied witnessing the fatal shooting, but said she heard two gunshots while at the Spring Creek Recreation Area. She admitted touching Patterson’s body to confirm that she was dead and claimed Hall tried to clean up the scene, according to an affidavit.
“Blalock said Hall poured bleach on the body in some effort to destroy evidence, and then Hall moved the body into the water,” the affidavit says.
Hall and Blalock had allegedly discussed several ways of killing Patterson. The teen, who attended Chouteau-Mazie Public Schools, played volleyball for her high school, KTUL reported.
“Our heart goes out to the family,” Mayes County Sheriff’s Office Maj. Rod Howell told Tulsa World. “I’ve got kids, and I just couldn’t fathom.”
Hall and Blalock, who are set to return to court Thursday, remain jailed on $1 million bond, the newspaper reported.

In this episode of People's Party, Talib Kweli and co-host Jasmin Leigh sit down with comedian, actor, writer, and game show host Anthony Anderson. There result is a lively and entertaining start to 2020. The topics are wide-ranging -- spanning Anderson's journey from Compton to Hollywood, his rough start as a standup comic, and his huge breaks (first being cast in the film "Life", alongside Eddie Murphy, Martin Lawrence, and Bernie Mack, then, only a year later, landing "Me, Myself & Irene" with Jim Carey).
Later in the hour, Anderson shares an amazing story of a meeting with Martin Scorsese that led to his role in the movie "The Departed", and details a life-changing realization he had in Australia, while working on the film "Kangaroo Jack."
Finally, the trio discusses in length everything surrounding the creation and evolution of Anderson's multi-award-winning sitcom Black-ish, dealing with social issues that so many other shows over the years have shied away from. Anthony also tells a few of his own Prince stories, giving us an idea of what it was like having the honor of being invited to one of the mega-star's legendary parties.
DaBaby is a free man again -- of sorts -- because he's been released from jail, but he's not out of the woods.
The rapper posted $1,500 and bailed out of Miami-Dade county jail late Saturday night.
DaBaby was being held on a warrant out of Dallas for organized criminal activity -- specifically, a fight at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport where a food stand worker was attacked. Here's the weird thing, Dallas cops withdrew the warrant for some reason, but they're not saying why.
As we reported, DaBaby was arrested Thursday after allegedly beating up a concert promoter who shorted him on his fee -- DaBaby was owed $30,000 for a performance but the promoter showed up with only $20k, so DaBaby's crew allegedly pounced on him, stole $80, a credit card and an iPhone 7.
DaBaby was charged with battery but not robbery -- at least not yet.

Law enforcement in Colorado and Nebraska have received numerous reports about mysterious drones flying by night over rural parts of the states in recent weeks.
It’s unclear who the drones belong to or what they are doing, and they’ve unnerved residents, the New York Times reported.
The sightings started around mid-December and most have been between sunset and 10 p.m. The drones have blinking lights and wingspans of up to 6 feet.
“It’s creepy,” said Missy Blackman, who saw three drones hovering above her Nebraska farm. “I have a lot of questions of why and what are they, and nobody seems to have any answers.”
“It’s the fear of the unknown,” Colorado resident Dawn George added.
Michael Yowell, a sheriff’s captain in Lincoln County, Colorado, suggested it could be a mapping operation or a land survey.
“But you can’t rule out what you don’t know,” he said.
The Federal Aviation Administration has opened an investigation into the mystery, according to spokesman Ian Gregor.
“Multiple F.A.A. divisions and government agencies are investigating these reports,” he said in an email.
Sheriff James Brueggeman of Perkins County, Nebraska, said some residents have wanted to shoot down the unmanned aircraft, but he has urged them to report the sightings to law enforcement instead.
“I think it’s kind of a joke, but you have to remember the part of the country we live in,” the sheriff said. “People here don’t like their privacy to be invaded.”
Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner said he was “closely” monitoring the situation.
Last week, the FAA proposed new regulations that would require most drones to be unidentifiable. Gregor said the timing of the sightings and the proposed regulations was unrelated.
PM News Nigeria is reporting that troops have turned back members of the terrorist organization, Boko Haram, after they tried to infiltrate the towns of Michika and Madagali in Adamawa State, Nigeria.
The Nigerian Army Operations Media Coordinator, Col. Aminu Iliyasu, said in a statement on Sunday that six suspected terrorists were arrested while a total of 461 captives comprising 100 men, 154 women and 207 children were rescued from the insurgents who had kept them as hostages.
Iliyasu disclosed that the rescued children within the Polio vaccination age were immediately administered vaccines in line with the Buratai Intervention Task Force Initiative by the Nigerian Army Medical Team.
