President Trump pardoned more than 100 people on his last day in office, including rapper Lil Wayne, but “Tiger King” Joe Exotic wasn’t among them.
Back in April, Trump said he’d “take a look” at the issue — which kickstarted a campaign to get Joe released. In September, Joe’s legal team tried to hand-deliver Joe’s pardon request in D.C.
On Wednesday, Team Tiger said, “We are as disappointed that the President did not sign Joe’s pardon, as we were confident yesterday that he would.”
One person who isn’t disappointed is Joe’s nemesis, Carole Baskin. She tells BuzzFeed News, “I think only Joe’s team and the media were ever even thinking about a pardon for Joe. There is no benefit, other than a feeble attempt to deflect attention, for anyone to pardon someone who walked up to five tigers and shot them in the head in order to clear cage space for the circus, who was going to pay him to board their tigers during the offseason.”
Joe was convicted of plotting to murder Carole, among other charges.

Mossimo Giannulli has been released from solitary confinement, Us Weekly reports.
The fashion designer, and husband of Lori Loughlin, is now in the minimum security area of the Federal Correctional Institution, where he was supposed to be placed when he entered the prison in November. Instead, he spent an “extended period” in quarantine because of the pandemic.
Mossimo, who’s serving five months for his role in the college admissions scandal, is believed to have caught the virus behind bars.
His lawyers have asked for a reduction to his sentence because of his time in solitary. A judge has yet to make a decision.
Lori completed her sentence in December after two months behind bars.

The National Enquirer claims Chris Hemsworth and Jason Momoa are allegedly feuding as both are filming new movies in Australia. A source tells the magazine, “They both have huge egos, and they’ve been sniping at each other since Jason has been making himself comfortable on Chris’ home turf in Australia. Now things are getting a little personal. Chris has gotten a little jealous of all the attention Jason’s gotten in his own backyard.”

OK! magazine says Kelly Clarkson is plotting a revenge makeover to make her estranged husband, Brandon Blackstock, jealous. A source tells the magazine, ”Playing around with her look is a welcome distraction. She was tired of seeing the same old face and person in the mirror and felt she needed a boost. She’s moving on to an edgier, sleek and sexy look for both her show and her personal life. It won’t be anything over-the-top, but she’s ditching the jeans, sweats, and long-sleeved shirts and splurging on clothes that let her flash a little flesh and show off her curves. She figures it’s well overdue.”
