Martin Scorsese is remembering Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele Singer Reiner, penning an emotional essay to his late friends … and taking a shot at their killer.

The famed direct recalled all his fond memories of Rob and Michele in a guest essay for The New York Times published on Christmas day.

Martin says he bonded with Rob over being New York transplants in Hollywood and retells some jokes Rob made at various dinner parties over the years … and he praises Rob’s directing and acting skills.

As you know … Rob and Michele were found stabbed to death in their Brentwood home earlier this month and their son, Nick, has been arrested and charged with their murders.

Martin writes at the end of his long essay, “What happened to Rob and Michele is an obscenity, an abyss in lived reality.”

Taylor Swift is showing her team spirit by spending Christmas day in Kansas City … popping up at fiancé Travis Kelce‘s game against the Denver Broncos!!!

Travis’ game is being shown on Amazon Prime and the broadcast just cut away from some second quarter action to show Taylor’s arrival.

The NFL’s X account in Brazil posted a clip from the broadcast showing Taylor walking through the stadium on her way to her suite. It’s likely this footage was shot before the game and Amazon was waiting for the right time to show it during the game.

President Trump has Christmas gifts for terrorists he claims have been slaughtering Christians in Nigeria … deadly strikes.

Trump hopped on social media on Christmas Day and announced the United States had just launched a “powerful and deadly strike against ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria, who have been targeting and viciously killing, primarily, innocent Christians, at levels not seen for many years, and even Centuries!”

POTUS says he was following up on warnings he’s made … and says, “The Department of War executed numerous perfect strikes, as only the United States is capable of doing. Under my leadership, our Country will not allow Radical Islamic Terrorism to prosper.”
