Bethany Antonia's revealing how she handles racist hate ... posting a direct message she got from a troll to her Instagram story -- and cracking a joke about it.

The "House of Dragon" star took to the social media platform Saturday and posted a message she received from a hater who sent some horrible insults to her -- including saying they hope she dies on set.

In response, BA added her own text to the top of the pic ... saying, "Wait till they find out I'm gay too" followed by a clown emoji -- slapping down the troll's comments easily.

Taylor Swift's fans jump to defend their girl T-Swizzle ... and, one magazine's so concerned they removed a reviewer's byline -- 'cause they worried the person might get threats.

Paste, an entertainment/culture outlet, published its review of "The Tortured Poets Department" Friday ... but didn't include a specific author's name in the byline.

The magazine included an editor's note on its account ... saying when it reviewed "Lover" back in 2019 the writer who penned the piece received threats of violence -- and, the mag didn't want to put an employee in danger.

Mohamed Hadid's apologizing for racist and homophobic direct messages he sent to Congressman Ritchie Torres ... while still criticizing Torres for supporting Israel.

The real estate developer -- and father to Gigi and Bella Hadid -- posted to Instagram to address DMs he sent to the congressman ... revealed by the New York Post Saturday.

Among the unsavory insults ... Mohamed said Ritchie was dumber than New York sewer rats, said he should dress in a KKK hood to cover his face and he might be qualified to be a bouncer at a gay bar.

Hilary Swank says all actors are pretending ... so, she's for non-trans actors playing trans characters and vice versa -- at least, it seems that's what she's saying.

The two-time Oscar winner famously won her first back in 2000 after playing trans man Brandon Teena in the biopic "Boys Don't Cry" and reflected on the role in an interview with The Times of London.

While breaking down her part in the film, Swank acknowledges she wouldn't take the role today, saying her part in it was a sign of the times and adding a trans actor could really sink their teeth into the Brandon role today.

Ncuti Gatwa está criticando las actitudes hacia los actores negros, diciendo que tienen que actuar impecablemente para conseguir el reconocimiento de la gente, mientras que la "mediocridad blanca" es amada por las masas.

Gatwa, que interpretará al primer médico negro de la serie "Doctor Who", habló con Attitude para su edición de mayo/junio, en donde le preguntaron por la reacción que había suscitado su icónico papel.

Por si no lo saben, el personaje principal de "Doctor Who" cambia de actor con regularidad, como James Bond, y todos los actores que habían interpretado el papel antes eran blancos. Algunos fans incluso protestaron cuando el actor ruandés-escocés asumió el papel.

Ncuti Gatwa's blasting attitudes toward Black actors ... saying they've got to perform flawlessly to get love -- while "white mediocrity" is loved by the masses.

Gatwa -- who's the first Black Doctor in the show "Doctor Who" -- spoke with Attitude for its May/June issue ... when he was asked about the backlash to him taking over the iconic role.

If you don't know ... the main character in "Doctor Who" changes actors regularly -- sorta like James Bond -- and every actor before NG who played the role was white. Some fans protested when the Rwandan-Scottish actor took over the part.

Taylor Swift's new album's already causing some controversy ... and, it ain't about an ex either -- it's all got to do with T-Swift's view of American history, including the ugly part. 😬

The singer dropped "The Tortured Poet's Department" Friday ... and, while many fans are jammin' out to the tunes and diving into hints about Matty Healy and Kim Kardashian -- others took aim at her song "I Hate It Here" ... which includes some eyebrow-raising lyrics.

In the song, Tay Tay sings, "My friends used to play a game where / We would pick a decade / We wished we could live in instead of this / I'd say the 1830s but without all the racists / And getting married off for the highest bid."

Tori Spelling is back at it with her bathroom TMI -- this time ... telling everybody about a time she peed her pants ... with none other than a freaking diaper to help soak it all up.

Speaking on her 'MisSPELLING' podcast, the actress recounts a story about how she had to use the potty back in the day while she was driving on the 101 freeway here in Los Angeles -- and since there was no time to stop, she resorted to what she had in the car.

Tori says this happened while her son, Beau, was still in diapers ... so she had some on hand when her emergency hit in the middle of traffic.

Adele fans are voicing their frustration with Rolling Stone after a writer for their German edition claimed Taylor Swift is the better artist between the two.

As Taylor's new album, "The Tortured Poets Department," hit shelves and streaming services Friday, writer Ralf Niemczyk penned a review for Rolling Stone Germany -- with a headline that read, "Taylor Swift: 'The Tortured Poets Department' - the better Adele."

You can read the review for yourself to understand his larger point -- but the gist is ... he believes Taylor's new project, all about heartbreak, is on the level with Adele's work.

Taylor Swift is a bona fide legend ... just ask her, 'cause on her new album she stacks her resume up against the likes of 2 other icons -- actress Clara Bow and rock goddess Stevie Nicks.

Tay dropped "The Tortured Poets Department" Friday, and in her song, "Clara Bow," she sings about being compared to the silver screen starlet and the Fleetwood Mac frontwoman. However, by the end of the song, Taylor claims her identity as a megastar ... hinting she's reached legend status like the stars mentioned in the song.

She sings ... "You look like Taylor Swift // In this light, we're lovin' it // You've got edge, she never did // The future's bright, dazzling."

El ex coach de Sydney Sweeney está acudiendo en su defensa después de que su talento y apariencia fueron criticados por un productor de Hollywood.

Scott Sedita de Scott Sedita Acting Studios le dice a TMZ que Sydney es una actriz bien entrenada, cuya carrera comenzó cuando era solo una adolescente. Si bien está de acuerdo en que Sydney no tiene un cuerpo de "supermodelo", Scott dice que ella es hermosa por mejores razones.

Sydney es guapa porque tiene profundidad interior, intelecto, compasión, estilo y rasgos faciales -ojos, sonrisa, pómulos- que los ángulos de la cámara captan. La cámara adora su "mirada" tanto como el público. El público la adora porque es simpática y accesible".

The Indiana Fever reporter who was dragged for a bizarre conversation with Caitlin Clark on Wednesday is now apologizing for his actions ... admitting he crossed a line with his behavior.

Gregg Doyel, a journalist for the Indianapolis Star, issued the mea culpa just a few hours after he went viral for shooting a heart-hand gesture at Clark and following it up with some cringeworthy commentary during her introductory press conference.

Doyel first said in a post on his X page he was "sincerely" sorry for the "oafish" encounter. He then posted a column on the Star's website where he tried to explain his conduct.

Sydney Sweeney's former acting coach is jumping to her defense after her talent and looks were slammed by a Hollywood producer.

Scott Sedita from Scott Sedita Acting Studios tells TMZ ... Sydney is a well-trained actress, whose career started when she was just a teenager. While he agrees Sydney doesn't have "supermodel" good looks, Scott does say she's beautiful for a myriad of other reasons.

As he put it to us, "Sydney is beautiful because she has inner depth, intellect, compassion, style and facial features -- eyes, smile, cheekbones -- that the camera angles pick up on. The camera loves her 'look' as well as the audience. Audiences love her because she’s relatable and approachable."

An Indiana Fever reporter is being dragged for how he interacted with Caitlin Clark on Wednesday ... with many fans blasting the journalist for the way he shot a cringeworthy comment at the WNBA's newest star.

The encounter happened just minutes after Clark was introduced to Indiana media members for the first time since she was drafted by the Fever ... when Indianapolis Star columnist Gregg Doyel stepped up to the microphone to ask her a question about her new hometown.

At first, things seemed innocuous -- he politely introduced himself -- but then he paused, and sent a heart-hand gesture to the 22-year-old.
