The Emmy winner ripped into the 'Fast & Furious' star after Paul's voice-acting work in "Inside Out 2" was compared to Vin's performance as Groot in the 'Guardians of the Galaxy' franchise. Though both actors notably do a lot with a little in their respective films, PWH told CinemaBlend he has no interest in being compared to VD ... saying he'd like to be seen as "on time and approachable," implying Vin is not.

Yet, Paul wasn't speaking on personal experience, as he suggested his anti-Vin stance was formed from gossip and hearsay.

Antonio Brown used offensive language on his social media page yet again on Wednesday night ... calling Jared McCain a homophobic slur during the NBA draft.

The former Pittsburgh Steelers star typed out the f-word as McCain -- an ex-Duke guard -- was being taken by the Philadelphia 76ers at No. 17 overall.

In case you missed it, the Foos were having a concert across the pond in London over the weekend -- right in the middle of Taylor's takeover in the same city. While onstage, Grohl referenced the "Eras" tour, then said errors are bound to happen when musicians actually play live music -- implying the pop star's shows are mainly supported by recordings.

Ariana Grande surprised her fans with a story she recalled from years ago -- the fact that her younger self would have liked to have sat down for a hypothetical meal with Jeffrey Dahmer.

The singer recently went on Penn Badgley's "Podcrushed" podcast -- and she admitted to having previously told fans that the late convicted serial killer was her dream dinner guest ... 'cause she's always wanted to pick his brain.

Dave Grohl's ready to Foo Fight some Swifites ... 'cause he took a shot at Taylor Swift -- implying she's not actually performing live at her shows.

The actor sat down for a recent conversation with Entertainment Weekly where he reflected on playing the title character in Lifetime's "Devil on Campus: The Larry Ray Story" ... and, he says portraying the convicted sex trafficker did a number on his psyche.

BZ says even playing a role -- secondhand diving into the darkness -- is a lot for actors ... adding the body recognizes all the chemical reactions it's going through, and it does affect you physically, so a few extra bucks ain't outta line.
