Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hopped on Zoom to sing the praises of two American actors who have raised tens of millions of dollars in aid ... as Putin continues to rain bombs on Ukraine.

President Zelensky applauded Mila Kunis -- who was born in Ukraine -- and her husband Ashton Kutcher, for raising nearly $35 million to aid and support Ukrainian refugees ... "I thank them on behalf of our people ... on behalf all us," he said.

He called them a star couple "who believe in us in our victory in our future".

The Ukrainian Prez also posted a photo on Twitter of a video chat with the couple and thanked them for being among the first to respond ... "Grateful for their support. Impressed by their determination. They inspire the world. #StandWithUkraine,” he wrote.

The couple not only raised nearly $35 million in aid, but also pledged $3 million from their own pockets ... just 3 weeks after launching their GoFundMe Page. Their initial goal was $30 million, so they have already blown passed that by several million bucks.

"Today, I am a proud Ukrainian. While my family came to the United States in 1991, I was born in Chernivtsi, Ukraine in 1983. Ukrainians are proud and brave people who deserve our help in their time of need," Mila wrote.

John Travolta has added a new flying machine to his aeronautical CV ... a 737.

JT just scored his 737 license ... and he was pleased to crow about it to his 3.8 million followers, saying, “Okay, so a very proud moment in my aviation history.”

He went on -- and this is interesting -- “To add to my 747 and 707 licenses, I just received my 737 (pilot) license, and it went very well.” It's interesting he chose to go for a jumbo jet -- the 747 -- and a 4 engine passenger jet -- the 707 -- before getting certified on the smaller, 2-engine 737.

The 68-year-old actor has a fleet of planes, including a Bombardier Challenger 601, a Boeing 707-138B, and an Eclipse 500.

He bought the 707 22 years ago for $77 million, tricking it out inside for another $20M.

It's pretty amazing ... the jet can seat 150 passengers, but Travolta reconfigured it so it carries 15 passengers in high style. It has 2 bedrooms and an impressive bathroom and shower.

John lives in a private aviation community in Florida that has a full-sized runway. He parks his jets the same we we park our cars.

John's been flying since he was 15 and got his first license back in 1978.

Doggface, aka Nathan Apodaca, is officially rolling with the big dogs after skating his way to fame ... 'cause dude has made a rapping debut alongside Snoop Dogg!!!

You might remember Doggface as the guy who went viral skateboarding to a Fleetwood Mac classic, "Dreams" back in 2020. Well, now he seems to be on to bigger and better things.

The song -- titled "Low Rider" is Klypso's and it features Snoop Dogg, Doggface and War. The star-studded video features George Lopez, Cheech and Chong, Princess Love and Dr. Miami.

We're told the music vid cost around $300K to produce, with nearly $100K going to Snoop ... and a big chunk of the budget going to production.

Check out the short clip ... we're told the music video was filmed over 4 days, partly at Snoop's compound and the rest at a Burbank studio.

The song is a spin-off of the original (by War), so it makes sense why those celebs were chosen to make a cameo ... you'll recall, Cheech and Chong, played the original "Low Rider" in their iconic flick, "Up in Smoke" ... and the tune is also the theme song for George Lopez's self-titled sitcom, "George Lopez."

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are taking the next step in their relationship, and it's a big one ... they're plunking down more than $50 MILLION on a spectacular estate ... real estate sources tell TMZ.

We've learned they're buying a 20,000 square foot estate in the ritzy Bel-Air area of Los Angeles. The home has 10 bedrooms and 17 bathrooms!!! It has multiple kitchens, a theatre, gym, his and hers bath, and on and on. Oh, of course, a pool.

The house is super private ... tucked away in a forest of trees. It has an incredible city view.

We're told they sealed the deal in the mid-$50 million range.

Our sources say it's not a done deal because there are still contingencies that must be satisfied.

It's a big move, and we're told the entire brood from both sides will be living there. It certainly seems like a precursor to marriage.

Jake Paul says his $60 million offer to get Kanye West and Pete Davidson to take their beef to the boxing ring is NOT a publicity stunt ... telling TMZ Sports he wants the two to stop fighting for the sake of Ye and Kim's kids.

We spoke to the "Problem Child" about his decision to get in the middle of the biggest feud of the year ... and he says he's worried about how Ye and Kim's kids will handle watching the two grown men bicker online.

"I'm kinda sick of them going back and forth on social media and I think its affecting the kids' lives, like Kanye and Kim's kids," Jake tells us. "They're gonna be the ones that take the most trauma from this."

Of course, Kanye's antics recently got him temporarily banned from Instagram ... and he's openly argued with Kim, Pete, Trevor Noah and more over the past few weeks.

Paul -- who's been outspoken about the positive benefits of boxing -- isn't making light of the situation ... he seriously thinks this could help end the beef for good and both sides can move on.

Jake says his Most Valuable Promotions will handle everything -- as long as they show up and do their thing in the ring, they'll get their $30 mill AND some pay-per-view bucks, too.

As for the money ... Jake says that's no problem, and he's already got financial backers involved ... even though he didn't need them.

"Everyone knows I was the highest-paid boxer last year," Jake says. "I can guarantee the money myself, but we have partners and stuff. The money's good."

Johnny Depp and Amber Heard are going back to court to settle who defamed who once and for all -- and their witness list includes a ton of A-listers ... who'll have to take the stand.

With the trial set to kick off next month in Virginia, just about all the legal docs are filed for witnesses and exhibits ... and reports say the likes of James Franco, Elon Musk and Paul Bettany, among others, are going to be dragged into court and be forced to testify.

Franco and Musk are on Amber's witness list -- this after Johnny alleged she'd had affairs with each of them during their marriage -- and they'll presumably speak on that. Both guys are said to be beaming in via video link ... so they won't be there in person.

"Animal Kingdom" actress Ellen Barkin is also on Heard's witness list, as are reps for huge orgs like Disney, Warner Bros, WME the ACLU and even the LAPD ... which will mostly offer records that she finds pertinent to help make her case.

For his part, Depp has Marvel actor Paul Bettany testifying on his behalf -- Bettany was also roped into the U.K. libel case that JD lost ... having old text messages they once exchanged read aloud in court. Ya gotta imagine they'll get into that again here.

There's more to be unearthed, including correspondence between Heard and her "Aquaman" costar Jason Momoa, director James Wan, director Zack Snyder and CAA chief Bryan Lourd. There are also emails between Depp and J.K. Rowling and Jack White that'll be addressed.

In case you need a refresher ... both exes are suing each other for defamation, and it seems the judge is going to hear each of their claims in one fell swoop, which is probably why there are so many witnesses/submitted evidence -- they're trying to bury this at long last.

This specific claim of defamation got started after Johnny sued Amber for $50 million following a WaPo op-ed piece in which she characterized herself as a victim of domestic violence ... without ever saying his name. Still, he felt that was enough to take her to court over.

Amber countersued for $100 mil, and despite each of them filing to have the other person's case tossed ... both cases have been given the green light to proceed.

Remember, this all follows a major blow JD suffered across the pond ... where he lost a libel case after a newspaper labeled him a "wifebeater," which a judge ruled was mostly true.

In spite of that, he's forging ahead in similar territory here in the States ... all in an attempt to clear his name and get his career back on track. As you know, he's claimed that Hollywood has blacklisted him in the wake of the U.K. ruling ... all while maintaining his innocence.

The TikToker who went viral after claiming a disastrous chemical peel left him with serious facial burns has now lawyered up, and he wants a boatload of cash.

Neyo White's attorneys, Fisher, Klein & Wolfe LLP, have fired off a demand letter to Diamond Facez Skin Care Bar in Atlanta, GA -- laying out their case in pretty simple terms ... pay up, or get ready to fight it out in court.

In the correspondence obtained by TMZ, White's lawyers say their client suffered 2nd-degree burns as a result of a botched procedure ... which they blame entirely on Diamond Facez.

FK&W say White has had to travel to L.A. to meet with dermatologists in hopes of repairing the damage, which they say has been costly and painful on a physical and emotional level.

Because DF allegedly screwed up, White and co. are asking for $10,000.

You'll recall ... White recounted his ordeal to us, saying he was reassured by the staff at the time that all would be well in the end -- and yet, he claims it turned out to be anything but that.

It's no surprise things are getting litigious ... Neyo had already told us he planned to sue, and now -- it seems he may end up following through on that. We're told he also plans to fly to LA to visit Dr. Jason Emer, where he hopes to correct the burn damage.

Carolyn Moore is getting the last laugh, some might say -- after getting blindsided on the finale of "Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer," she says she ended up rejecting Kurt Sowers months after the show.

TMZ broke the story ... Kurt and Amanda Pace, the woman he picked over Carolyn, ended things the month after filming the show last fall. Now Carolyn tells us Kurt reached out to her following that split, but alas ... he couldn't make their relationship work either.

Carolyn says they were both curious about trying again because of the connection they made on the show, but she soon realized Kurt still had issues with her platonic relationship with the father of her child.

She says that's why she's shutting the door completely on Kurt -- rejecting a romantic relationship, or even a friendship. She explained why the "just friends" thing would not work with him.

ICYMI ... Kurt shocked fans, and Carolyn, when he chose Amanda.

The whole season it was clear he and Carolyn had a genuine connection ... but he still got cold feet in the finale, as he constantly worried about Carolyn's previous relationship.

Davante Adams out ... DK Metcalf in?

Packers legend LeRoy Butler says if he were running the show in Green Bay, that's exactly the next move he'd make ... telling TMZ Sports he'd give up a first-rounder for DK after the team traded away Adams.

We spoke with Butler just hours after Davante was officially shipped from Wisconsin to the Raiders -- and he told us while he understood the move, he thinks a corresponding one now needs to be made.

Specifically, he said the Packers should be on the phone with the Seahawks about DK.

"They're just giving everything away," Butler said of Seattle. "Give them a first-round pick."

Unclear if the Seahawks are willing to move Metcalf -- though after they just traded away Russell Wilson to Denver, Butler seems to think it'd be possible.

As for life without Adams in Green Bay, Butler didn't seem too stressed about losing the perennial All-Pro ... telling us he believes it'll force Aaron Rodgers to distribute the ball more evenly on the field.

Paige VanZant -- one of the toughest women on the planet -- is putting everyone in the MMA community on notice ... saying she's not done with fighting, despite signing a wrestling contract with AEW.

TMZ Sports spoke with the 27-year-old former UFC star/host of "TMZ Fight School" on Snapchat ... and she says any talk of her leaving combat sports full-time for wrestling isn't the case.

In fact, she says she has a Bare Knuckle FC bout coming up later this year ... and has other promotions lining up to sign her when her current contract is up.

Paige says she is in awe at some of the offers she received ... calling them "life-changing."

As we previously reported, the Bare Knuckle fighter officially became a professional wrestler this month ... when she inked a deal the same night she surprised AEW fans by appearing at Dynamite.

The world of professional wrestling is a different kind of combat ... and Paige admits the jump from one sport to the other is a lot.

"It's a big difference, but I got plenty of time on my hands," VanZant said. "I like to stay busy. I have pro wrestling training, and then I have training for Bare Knuckle boxing as well."

"Shark Tank" star Daymond John is having a hard time enjoying this year's NCAA Tournament ... saying he believes it's "horrible," and is actually "modern-day slavery."

The 53-year-old businessman spelled out his beef with March Madness to Harvey and Charles on "TMZ Live" on Friday ... explaining he thinks the players are getting a raw deal in the huge event.

John said there's a ton of people making millions -- if not billions -- off the tourney ... yet players aren't seeing much of the pie at all.

"The players make nothing! Zero off of all that," John said. "I think this is modern-day slavery and they're just giving them a little bit of a crumb."

John acknowledged that players do get scholarships and do now have the ability to get paid from NIL deals -- but he insisted that's nowhere near enough.

"These players are bringing in billions of dollars and making absolutely zero," he said. "It is really, I think, what business model do you know that makes billions of dollars and pays their employees zero?"

Kevin Durant's potty mouth just cost him $25,000 -- the NBA just fined the Brooklyn Nets superstar for telling a fan sitting courtside to "shut the f*** up."

The league announced the punishment on Friday afternoon ... saying in a statement they issued the fine against KD "for directing obscene language toward a fan."

The incident happened during Brooklyn's game against the Dallas Mavs on Wednesday ... when a fan said, "KD you gotta take this game over."

KD responded, "You gotta shut the f*** up and sit down."

Kevin wasn't disciplined for his clapback in-game ... although, you can see a referee was nearby to witness and hear the entire exchange.

But, Durant already knew what his fate with the league office would be ... preemptively tweeting out a symbolic meme of a girl forking over cash.

"Damn, smh" Kevin wrote on Twitter.

Rick Ross's massive estate is starting to look more like a legit ranch ... adding 2 full-grown buffalos to the property.

Ya heard that right! On Friday, Ross was gifted TWO giant buffalos from his business partners at Ethika, the clothing and underwear company. The animals were delivered to his Georgia property -- which he's officially deemed the "Promise Land."

Darius Burton, director of brand operations at Ethika tells TMZ … “We are gifting Ross these Buffalo after a conversation at his birthday party back in January. I wanted to get him a giraffe but he wasn’t ready for that commitment so he said let’s start smaller, like a cow. I said nah, everyone has cows, I want you to have something nobody in your state has, I’m getting you a Buffalo.”

We're told one is a 5-year-old buffalo that weighs a hefty 2000 lbs. and stands 6'2. The other is a 700-lb. heifer who is just over a year old. Ross has already renamed the first 'Timbuktu' and it sounds like he's still taking suggestions for the second.

Check out the video! We're told, Ross' new furry friends hail all the way from Arkansas ... taking a 10-hour journey before being delivered directly to the rapper's Atlanta area home.

This is the latest addition to Rick's growing farm which includes 4 horses and a bull ... and Darius tells us the company is already looking to gift him that giraffe for Christmas.

Ricky seems to be absolutely ecstatic about this gift. He says this is something he spoke into existence and wanted his whole life. In a video on Instagram, he can be seen talking to the buffalos saying, "I love you" and welcoming them to their new home which is on about 235 acres of land.

The person who paid $518k for Tom Brady's last touchdown pass ball -- just to see its value vanish one day later when the QB unretired -- is getting a happy ending after all ... because the NFL superstar wants to hook them up with Bitcoin to their favorite charity!!

As we previously reported, the ball is believed to be worth a mere $50k at most following TB12's comeback announcement on Sunday ... considering the dude's expected to throw many more TDs in 2022 now that he's suiting up next season.

Brady got wind of the debacle on Friday ... and tweeted out his wish to help the buyer with an awesome gesture.

"Hey @FTX_Official … could we donate a Bitcoin to the charity of this person’s choice?! 😂," Brady said.

TB12 has been known to shell out the Bitcoin (currently valued at a little under $42k) in the past -- he gave the fan who got handed his 600th TD ball from Mike Evans the crypto and some signed swag after asking to return the ball.

Gabriel Iglesias is helping to make the life of one fan who recently suffered a serious injury much easier ... by reaching into his wallet to help buy a much needed device.

Nick Weaver tells TMZ ... he recently reached out to the comedian on social media, sharing his story, and asking to help contribute to a GoFundMe with an $8,000 goal to buy a prosthetic leg.

On Thursday, much to Nick's surprise, a $5,000 donation come in from Gabriel ... hitting the fundraiser's target.

After donating, Gabriel reposted the link online, joking, "Just paid off his leg. Make sure he doesn’t miss my show." A few months ago, celebrity jeweler Ben Baller also donated $2K to Nick's cause, saying "thank you for being part of the BTB army!"

Nick says back in August 2021, he got into a dispute with his brother over some money owed ... and his brother allegedly ran him over with a car. He lost his leg as a result of the incident after surgeries were unsuccessful in saving it.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo may pull off one of the biggest residential real estate deals ever, because they could end up selling the home they bought from Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner for $25 MILLION more than the plunked down just 2 years ago!!!

Real estate sources tell TMZ ... Adam and Behati did a complete remodel of the Pacific Palisades estate. They bought the house in December 2019 for $32 million and have just listed it for ... $57.5 MILLION!!!

It's an awesome property for sure ... it's a 3-acre lot with the main house stretching 9,000 square feet. It has 6 bedrooms and all the bells and whistles, like a gym, a full theatre, an arcade, pool, firepit-lounge area, sweeping city views, and on and on. Go into the photo gallery and see for yourself ... it's pretty amazing.

Don't feel too bad for Ben and Jen .. they bought the house in 2009 for $17.5 mil, so they almost doubled their money when they sold it to Adam and Behati.
