Hailey Welch -- the viral "Hawk Tuah" Girl -- is apparently trying to go from "spittin' on that thang" to making audiences spit take ... 'cause she's now trying to lock up the rights to her famous phrase... and, it looks like she's got a comedy career in mind.

TMZ's obtained her trademark filing for "Hawk Tuah" in which Welch is asking for trademarks in two fields -- one for apparel like hats and shirts and another for entertainment services ... namely, comedy podcasts and live comedy shows.

Welch filed for the trademark under her new company, 16 Minutes, LLC -- a clever play on Hailey looking to extend her 15 minutes into lasting fame ... not the first sign she's trying to do so, as you know.

BP uses the metaphor of his beloved bird flying into a wall to describe the 'BHC3' flop -- but, the bird survived, and he says the series is mending in much the same way.

Eddie Murphy's calling out a fellow "Saturday Night Live" alum ... reflecting on how angry David Spade's joke about his career made him -- and, saying he thinks there was racist intent.

The comedy legend sat down for a wide-ranging interview with the New York Times, published Saturday, and he mentioned a joke Spade made on a "Weekend Update" segment from December 1995.

Stormy Daniels found herself smack in the middle of Trump and Biden during Thursday's debate ... when Biden started taking shots at Trump's felony conviction.

It all started when Biden told voters, "The only person on the stage that is a convicted felon is the man I’m looking at right now," a clear reference to Trump being found guilty of making hush money payments to Stormy.

"Hawk Tuah" -- the phrase you can't escape -- is about to be even more in your face, 'cause a bunch of people are jumping on the slippery bandwagon, and banking on it by filing for a slew of trademarks.

According to documents obtained by TMZ ... the number of trademarks for the phrase has hit double digits with multiple businesses looking to slap the phrase on just about everything that could, even loosely, be connected to the "hawk tuah" girl's immortal words.

Companies are asking for the legal right to place the phrase on t-shirts and athletic wear -- that's not shocking -- but how about lubricants, chewing tobacco, oral care, hair and body products, beverages ... and, very naturally, sexual stimulants.

Kesha tried to pull off a gas station photo shoot -- while seemingly jabbing at Katy Perry -- but the manager wasn't having it, and told her and the photog to get the hell out!!!

The "TiK ToK" singer pulled into a Sinclair gas station Thursday afternoon in L.A., and started posing for photos in a red cowboy hat, matching red mini-skirt, thigh-high boots and a small black purse.

Kesha was also wearing a tiny white tank top with "LOL" written on it ... which certainly plays like a callback to her recent tweet that fans believe is her reaction to Katy Perry collabing with Kesha's old nemesis Dr. Luke.

The "Hawk Tuah" Girl's spit take is spinning pure gold -- the hat company she partnered with is raking in tens of thousands of dollars selling a ton of apparel featuring her (in)famous phrase!
