Jennifer Lopez proved she's the ultimate Hollywood power player as she turned heads strutting into the same Los Angeles office building that houses ex-husband Ben Affleck's production digs.

The superstar was decked out in full glam and looked amazing as she headed in for a round of meetings Monday. In true L.A. fashion, J Lo's morning grind came with star-studded serendipity ... we're told before J Lo stepped onto the elevator, she crossed paths with none other than legendary director Ridley Scott and his wife, producer Giannina Facio.

The two Hollywood titans exchanged hellos before each continued on to their separate offices ... Lopez to her own business dealings, and Scott and Facio to their production hub.

Marlon Wayans has a very personal reason why his and brother Shawn's box office blockbuster "White Chicks" will NEVER get a follow-up ... and that's because getting a full face-beat takes too freakin' long!!!

Kai Cenat had Marlon on his Mafiathon 3 stream and brought up "White Chicks 2," taking Marlon down horror memory lane, spending 7 hours in the make-up chair all to turn into a bad bish.

Marlon explained that the 7-hour makeup job was in addition to the 14 hours of the daily production and the 1 hour it took to remove the costumes.

The actor suing Tyler Perry for sexual assault and harassment is going on national TV to double down on his salacious claims against the billionaire ... recounting the first alleged incident.

Asked about the first alleged instance of sexual harassment, Derek says "I got into bed and then I noticed that he climbed into bed with me as well and started rubbing my leg. I jumped up out of bed."

Blake Lively isn't the only person claiming that Justin Baldoni harassed them ... we've learned there's another person who may end up testifying in court with similar allegations.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the person -- whose name has been redacted -- says they had "repeated, negative interactions with Mr. Baldoni and his associates, including verbal abuse by Mr. Baldoni."

A source with knowledge tells TMZ … the person worked on different project with JB, not "It Ends with Us" ... and they're likely to testify against Justin in Blake's trial.

Charlie Sheen is gearing up for a Hollywood comeback ... hinting to us he has something else in the works after pulling together his memoir and a new docuseries, back to back.

We caught up with the actor Tuesday morning in NYC, where he was practically on cloud nine while discussing all the positive feedback he's received for his new book -- "The Book of Sheen" -- and his Netflix doc, "aka Charlie Sheen."

Per Charlie, he feels a lot better having everything out in the open ... including all the details about his past wild love life.

Sydney Sweeney is receiving a heap of praise for her latest performance as former professional boxer Christy Martin ... and all the love is making her emotional!

Sydney was brought to tears Friday after she and the rest of the cast got a thunderous standing ovation at Toronto International Film Festival following a screening of her biopic, "Christy."

SS was clearly overcome by the moment ... and she told the festival crowd it was an honor to play the iconic sports figure, who joined her on stage.

Oh, isn’t Pamela Anderson a tease?!? The blonde bombshell all but winked at the Liam Neeson "fauxmance" chatter ... cryptically addressing those flirty "Naked Gun" press tour reports, leaving us with way more questions than we had before!

The bombshell seized her career achievement speech at the 51st Deauville American Film Festival in France to bring rumors to a screeching halt -- randomly declaring Friday, "I do not and will never feed into PR stunts. That would be a death sentence. I’m authentically driven ... "

Pam then cheekily locked eyes with the camera -- dragging out the pause like she was making a point to someone in particular -- then pivoting to how superstitious she is about love and how she refuses to spill even a drop about her romantic life in public.

Snoop Dogg says he's scared to take his grandkids to the cinema after being ambushed with questions about a lesbian couple in a kids movie ... but Ts Madison says Snoop is just being homophobic.

The TV personality joined us Monday on "TMZ Live," and we asked her about Snoop's controversial LGBTQ comments on a recent podcast.

Snoop said he took one of his grandkids to see "Lightyear" a couple years ago, and got blitzed with questions after a scene where two female characters had a baby together. He said he wasn't prepared for such content or the questions from grandson.
