Guess Who This Future Star Turned Into!

Before this bashful little kiddo with beautiful blue eyes from Watchung, New Jersey turned into an American actress, she was just playing with her four older siblings, acting silly for the camera, and going off to study drama in New York City.

She's acted on several iconic shows ... She first rose to stardom playing the role of Donna on "That '70s Show", but you may also recognize her in a jumpsuit behind bars. Alongside Emily Blunt, she was in the thriller film "The Girl On The Train."

Can you guess who she is?

Quavo Goes Nuclear On Chris Brown in New Diss Track ... With Help From Takeoff

Quavo is taking his beef with Chris Brown to a whole new level -- responding to CB's "Weakest Link" with a diss track of his own that includes the voice of late Migos member, Takeoff.

The new track is called "Over Hoes & Bitches," and it dropped late Monday, with Quavo's opening verse coming in hot -- "Little bitch come battle with my drac' / You been f***ed your bag up when you punched Ri' in the face."

Of course, Quavo's referring to Chris assaulting Rihanna back in 2009. So far in their rap beef, he's repeatedly hit Chris with his history of domestic violence.

Quavo's clearly triggered by CB's last shot -- "Weakest Link" -- where he said people wish Quavo died instead of Takeoff ... and now Quavo's responding to the bar by threatening to pull an actual trigger.

Quavo raps, "This bullet got your name / Don't ever bring up Take p****."

Takeoff hops in for the track's chorus, and the message is made very clear on what type of person they think CB is. What's not clear is if Takeoff's voice is patched together from his real recordings or if it's AI.

Chris Brown has already responded to the track, saying he's not impressed and it sounds AI-generated.

Musically, the ball's now back in CB's court ... let's see if he has more to say.

'Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes' Going Ape S*** On Venice Beach!!! Monkey See, Monkey Ride

BEACH TAKEOVER
TikTok / @switchflipjones

As if L.A.'s famed Venice Beach scene wasn't wild enough -- now it's got apes patrollin' the sand ... on horseback, no less!!!

Yeah, the marketing team behind "Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes" came up with a seriously eye-catching way to hype the flick Monday ... getting a bunch of apes to saddle up and ride around the beach.

No, they're not real apes -- PETA would be all over that -- but the actors in costume were pretty convincing at a glance ... looking very much like a scene ripped straight from the movie's plot of the apes taking over.

Luckily, the actors didn't exactly put the horses into a full gallop, opting for a slower stroll around the beach ... paired with intense, menacing stares to make their presence felt.

Eric B. & Rakim Not Bummed About Rock Hall Snub ... Applaud Inclusivity

Eric B. & Rakim are very happy with the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees ... despite the fact they didn't personally make the cut.

The pioneering hip hop duo was on the ballot for this year's induction, but came up short in the final vote. Instead, Mary J. Blige, Cher, Dave Matthews Band, Foreigner, Peter Frampton, Kool & The Gang, Ozzy Osbourne and A Tribe Called Quest will be entering the Hall.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

However, the two legends want it to be clear there are no hard feelings on their part, as they're happily congratulating their peers who will be inducted.

Eric B & Rakim tell TMZ Hip Hop ... "Congratulations to the diverse group of artists inducted into the Rock Hall this year. Seeing Tribe and Mary on the list besides Cher, Ozzy, Kool and the Gang and all of the other icons shows how inclusive the institution has become."

Though, Eric B. and Rakim are still eyeing the honor for themselves at some point. They add ... "Keep voting ... we'll join you soon!"

Eric B. & Rakim rose to fame during rap's golden age in the '80s and '90s, releasing 4 successful albums -- "Paid in Full," "Follow the Leader," "Let the Rhythm Hit 'Em," and "Don't Sweat the Technique."

The duo was named on the nominations list alongside a diverse group of performers, and as far as the acts that didn't get in this year, they're in excellent company -- Mariah Carey, Jane’s Addiction, Sade, Sinead O’Connor, Oasis and Lenny Kravitz will all have to wait for another chance to join the Hall of Fame party.

Eric B. & Rakim were previously nominated for the Hall of Fame in 2012. So, it's entirely likely they'll score another nomination in the future.

CHRIS PRATT & KAT SCHWARZENEGGER Home Tear Down Angers Architect's Stans ... But His Daughter Says Chill

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have architecture super fans (yeah, they're a thing) up in arms after they demolished an historic L.A. pad to build their dream home, but the architect's daughter says it's not that big of a loss.

Erin Ellwood, daughter of the legendary architect Craig Ellwood -- who designed and built the Brentwood, CA home in 1950 -- tells TMZ there's no need for the uproar over the Pratts' teardown of the iconic residence known as the Zimmerman home.

In her eyes, it's not nearly the tragedy her father's fans are making it out to be, especially because it's not the most spectacular example of his elegant work.
