Discovery Channel star Chad Ollinger told cops in Nevada he strangled his cellmate and then smashed the guy’s face into a metal post … all because he had the feeling the guy was a pedophile.

According to the arrest report, obtained by TMZ, authorities interviewed the TV star … and say Ollinger told them he had the supernatural power to read people and know things about them.

In the docs, cops say Ollinger confessed to murdering Christopher Kelly, his cellmate at Clark County Detention Center, and told them the killing was “righteous” due to Kelly being a pedophile.

Police say Ollinger told them he felt no remorse for killing Kelly and didn’t care if he went to prison for the rest of his life. It is unclear what Christopher Kelly was in jail for.

Ollinger, who is 41, was re-booked for open murder and reportedly went before a judge Tuesday, who ordered a mental evaluation before the case moves forward.

As we told you … corrections officers conducting routine checks at Clark County Detention Center Friday say they discovered a male inmate “lying motionless inside a cell.” Officers entered and observed the inmate had apparent blunt force injuries, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

The arrest report says there was blood all over the cell and Chad told detectives before the interview, “Good luck cracking the case.”

Elon Musk‘s recent X post reacting to an American teenager who was facing deportation from Denmark certainly appeared inappropriate to some people … including the teen herself, who wasn’t thrilled to be reduced to a number.

Audrey Morris — the Los Angeles teen who’s since resolved her Denmark deportation issue — stopped by “TMZ Live” Tuesday to unleash on the 54-year-old tech mogul publicly commenting on her looks.

ICYMI … Audrey had been facing deportation from Denmark after her temporary permit expired — the 19-year-old had lived there with her mom since she was 9 — and after seeing her picture, Elon posted, “8 or above level hotness should get an exemption.”

Needless to say … the creepy compliment rubbed Audrey the wrong way. She told us the comment was demeaning to say the least.

Audrey said, “I think it was just someone reposting it and somehow it got his attention.” She added … “It was kind of a surprise for everybody that it blew up again and in such a big way.”

While Audrey wasn’t granted permanent citizenship, she was given a 10-year residency permit.

The Arrowhead Stadium worker who went viral for framing part of a $600 tip she got from Taylor Swift says the kind gesture made her Christmas absolutely magical.

We tracked down Robyn Gentry, and she told us how Taylor’s tip helped make the holiday one for the books … and it sounds like the money wasn’t the biggest thing.

Robyn says she recently lost her son, who she said always made Christmas for the family magical … but she tells us Taylor’s surprise gift made for a memorable day at work.

Taylor was at Arrowhead on Christmas to watch fiancé Travis Kelce play for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Robyn was among the workers who got tipped by Taylor … to the tune of $600, including a one-hundred-dollar bill that now sits framed in her home.

It may not sound like a lot of money to some, but for Robyn, it amounts to her whole paycheck for two weeks. Still, it sounds like she was more thrilled about having a Taylor story to tell than having an extra $600 in her pocket, especially after buying Christmas gifts for her kids.
