Racing legend Mario Andretti says he's still a full pedal to the metal Donald Trump supporter -- even though he had dinner with President Obama at the White House Tuesday night.

Andretti appeared on "TMZ Live" and spilled his guts about the State Dinner to honor Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi ... a dinner that included huge stars like Jerry Seinfeld and Chance the Rapper.

So, we had to ask if the Obama event swayed his vote one way or the other -- and he made it very clear he's Team Trump all the way.

He did appear on "Celebrity Apprentice" after all ...

Donald Trump got a taste of his proposed US-Mexico border wall Wednesday morning when food trucks lined up outside his Las Vegas hotel ... but it wasn't just tacos being served.

The trucks built a wall outside Trump International Hotel just off the strip and offered free grub to hundreds of protesters.

There was quite a selection, including several different Asian fusion trucks and even a showing from the French via the French Food Therapy truck.

The Culinary Union Local 226, an LV food union, organized and got permits. For those that weren't hungry, there was another mini wall to sign.

For the most part, it looked peaceful ... Jesse Jackson even made an appearance and let us know his protest grub of choice.

Shailene Woodley pleaded not guilty to rioting at the Dakota Access Pipeline, and the rush is on to cover every second of the case.

Shailene wasn't in the North Dakota court Wednesday morning, but her attorney entered the plea. She's charged with one count of misdemeanor criminal trespass and one count of misdemeanor engaging in a riot. As soon as local media caught wind of her plea, they filed docs asking for video cameras to be allowed in court.

The judge approved, so if her case goes to trial she'll have another platform to state her protest against the pipeline.

But since she's facing 2 misdemeanors ... we smell a plea deal.

'Basketball Wives' star Jackie Christie says she did NOT refuse to pay for her granddaughter's medical bills after the child was badly burned in a daycare accident ... and says she's more than willing to help.

Jackie's been taking heat ever since her estranged daughter, Takari, set up a GoFundMe page last month to raise $3,000 to help pay for treatment for her 8-month-old daughter.

Takari said she was suffering serious financial hardships and was having a hard time finding the money to get her kid the proper help.

Matt Barnes and Evelyn Lozada reportedly kicked in more than $3,000 each -- but people are mad at Jackie, claiming she should have paid for everything in the first place.

But Jackie tells TMZ Sports ... Takari has cut HER off and never reached out for help in the first place. Had she called, Jackie says she would have been more than willing to fork over a check.

Jackie also says she's given Takari a ton of money over the years and she should be more than able to cover a $3,000 bill. She feels Takari went public with the money plea to try to embarrass Jackie.

"Bad Girls Club" star Camilla Poindexter is PISSED at Donald Penn's wife -- claiming the accusation she tried to get "hush money" from the NFL star to stay quiet about their love child is a downright LIE.

Bobby Shmurda's desperate attempt to get out of his plea deal fell on deaf ears ... as a judge sentenced him to 7 years in prison for gun possession charges.

The rapper was in court Wednesday and in a last-ditch effort ... told the judge he was forced to take the plea, and tried to withdraw it. He even turned to his lawyer in open court and said he wanted to fire him.

Judge wasn't having it, and stuck with the plea deal Bobby had agreed to last month, which he says he took to help his friend ... days before he was to stand trial.

Eminem just dropped a diss track on Donald Trump and his supporters ... essentially calling him too much of a yahoo to be trusted with our nuclear weapons.

Slim's "Campaign Speech" is almost 8 minutes of blistering freestyle -- with a few heated bars devoted to the Republican candidate ... calling him a "loose cannon" and threatening to drown his supporters.

Tobey Maguire was getting super close to Sofia Richie in a club, and the pics were taken before he and wife Jennifer Meyer announced their separation ... but we've learned it's not what you think.

Sources connected to Tobey and Jen tell us, they've actually been separated since June. Tobey's taken advantage of his freedom and hit the clubs on a fairly regular basis with pal Leo DiCaprio.

These photos were taken at 1 OAK in WeHo on October 1.

Michelle Obama's going out with a VERY expensive bang.

The First Lady's body was straight fire -- with all due respect -- in a form-fitting custom-made rose gold Versace gown during President Obama's final State Dinner Tuesday night.

Michelle and Barack were hosting the Italian Prime Minister and his wife -- so, maybe she went Versace just to make them feel at home. But more likely ... she just loved the couture.

The evening was topped off with a duet from Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton.

Khloe Kardashian looked more like a general walking into battle than a celeb ready to launch a new jean line.

Khloe was flanked by a squadron Tuesday at The Grove in L.A. where she launched her new denim line, Good American, made for the shapely woman. Check out the vid ... Kourtney and Mason show off a new bodyguard on arrival.

Hillary Clinton's got your WikiLeak right here ... in Georgia, where her tour bus dumped raw sewage onto the roadway.

It went down Tuesday in Lawrenceville at around 9:30 AM when someone inside the RV got out and opened the sewage drain, which drained onto the roadway and into the storm drain.

The deposit included drying toilet paper and, according to the police report, "a foul smell."

Hillary wasn't on the bus -- she was preparing for the debate Tuesday.

The Hazmat units responded and cleaned it up.

"Dance Moms" star JoJo Siwa doesn't mind a little friendly competition with alum Maddie Ziegler at the moment ... 'cause she thinks they'll be pallin' around under one roof when it's all said and done.

We got the 13-year-old dancer out in Playa Vista Tuesday where she told us she and Maddie will end up being the next Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato.

Here's the thing ... Maddie's already moved on from "Dance Moms" to make waves with top-notch stars like Sia and Kristen Wiig. She was also a judge on this season's 'So You Think You Can Dance.' In short, JoJo's got some catching up to do.

Check out the clip -- JoJo's definitely got Maddie's back. Here's hoping Maddie feels the same way.

Azealia Banks is sticking to her story -- that Russell Crowe choked her, spit on her and called her the n-word over the weekend ... and adds her so-called pal, RZA, essentially has no balls in Hollywood.

We got Azealia in Century City and she explained her version of what happened at Russell's disastrous Beverly Hills Hotel dinner party -- and it sounds like she tried making a joke which bombed and then things got ugly, fast.

In her eyes, she bruised some egos and then suddenly she was being choked, spit on and called racial slurs by Crowe. As for whether she used the n-word ... Azealia cops to it, but believes she has a good excuse.

Sarah Jessica Parker plays a wife in the throes of an ugly divorce on HBO ... so she should know a thing or two about prenups, right?

Matthew Broderick's longtime wife fielded questions from our photog about protecting yourself before you tie the knot.

SJP was super friendly with fans after appearing Tuesday on Howard Stern.

Playboy model Katie May died from a simple visit to a chiropractor for an adjustment, which ultimately left her with a fatal tear to an artery in her neck ... according to the L.A. County Coroner.

TMZ obtained a copy of Katie's death certificate, and it clears up a huge mystery surrounding her sudden death in February. The document says she died when a blunt force injury tore her left vertebral artery, and cut off blood flow to her brain.

It also says the injury was sustained during a "neck manipulation by chiropractor." Her death is listed as accidental.

As TMZ first reported, Katie -- known as the "Queen of Snapchat" -- had taken a nasty fall during a photo shoot. She thought she had a pinched nerve and went to an L.A. chiropractor on Friday. She suffered a stroke on Monday, and remained on life support until Thursday.

Katie's family is aware of the coroner's findings. They would not comment on whether they or her estate would pursue legal action.
