Jada Pinkett Smith is firing back at Will Smith’s alleged former friend, the man who claimed he gained a bunch of weight and had to move out of the country due to threats from her family’s inner circle ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, the "Girls Trip" actress addressed Bilaal Salaam’s claim he suffered severe emotional distress due to his drama with her, which he says led to weight gain, loss of a romantic relationship, and him temporarily leaving the country.

In new legal docs, Jada claims that Bilaal has not provided any evidence of the emotional distress he claims to have suffered ... and instead just tried to assert in a declaration that his weight gain, loss of a relationship, and moving out of the country were attributable to that distress. She says that's not the type of evidence necessary to support a claim of severe emotional distress, adding that he would need medical records and other third-party proof.

Actor T.K. Carter was involved in a bitter fight over his late wife’s estate at the time of his death -- and now it appears his mom will try to take over the battle ... TMZ has learned.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, T.K.’s mom, Lois Gaston, filed to take over control of the late actor’s estate.

T.K. died on January 9, 2026, at the age of 69. Lois explained that she is unsure the value of her son’s estate since there is an ongoing battle over T.K.’s wife’s estate.

1:29 PM PT -- A CNN spokesperson tells TMZ ... "The package was published in error; we have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family.”

Everyone can take a deep breath ... Michael J. Fox is alive.

The beloved actor's representative tells TMZ ... "Michael is doing great. He was at PaleyFest yesterday. He was on stage and was giving interviews."

Uncertainty about Michael's well-being stirred after CNN shared an article and video titled "Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox." There were no reports of his passing ... and the post has since been taken down.

Michael made a surprise appearance at PaleyFest LA on Tuesday to join the wrap party for the 3rd season of the comedy series, "Shrinking." The event took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles and included a special screening, followed by conversation led by showrunner and co-creator Bill Lawrence and co-creator and star Jason Segel ... along with cast members Harrison Ford, Jessica Williams, Michael Urie, Luke Tennie, Christa Miller, Lukita Maxwell and Ted McGinley.

Just one day after her big pregnancy reveal ... Aubrey Plaza is putting her precious cargo on full display!

The actress was spotted with a visible baby bump for the first time Wednesday while walking her dog in Manhattan.

She kept it casual and comfy ... and was certainly showing while sporting New Balance sneakers, light sweatpants, a brown shirt and a blue pea coat.

American actor Art Kimbro was in his late 20s when he played Detective Foster -- the by-the-book Beverly Hills police officer annoyed over Detective Foley's rule-breaking ways -- in the 1984 comedy/action film "Beverly Hills Cop."

Kimbro hit the big screen with Eddie Murphy, Judge Reinhold, and John Ashton.

No one is safe from Miranda Priestly's shade ... not even Anna Wintour.

The Vogue boss graced the May cover in a joint shoot with Meryl Streep, who was fully in character as the iconic "The Devil Wears Prada" antagonist.

In the issue's cover video, the magazine moguls can't quite place how they know each other ... despite both being famed fashionistas.

They ride the elevator to the top as ABBA's "Dancing Queen" plays in the background -- a nod to Meryl's role in "Mamma Mia" -- while sizing each other up.

Amanda Bynes has officially inked a record deal as she steps into the music world ... TMZ has learned.

The former Nickelodeon star signed with Create Music Group and is launching a new chapter as a recording artist, starting with her single "Girlfriend," set to drop April 10.

We're told Amanda teamed up with Fenix Flexin from Shoreline Mafia on the track ... giving the record a strong L.A. sound and a notable hip hop co-sign.

Create tells TMZ, "'GIRLFRIEND' blends melodic rap with EDM-inspired production, creating a catchy, high-replay record with a smooth West Coast bounce. Built around a strong hook and confident, flirt-heavy energy, it's designed for repeat listens and wide playlist appeal. Featuring Fenix Flexin, it taps into a familiar L.A. sound while staying fresh and accessible."

Of course, Amanda first rose to fame as a Nickelodeon star on "All That" and "The Amanda Show," before making a successful jump to the big screen in films. She later stepped away from acting and has kept a relatively low profile in recent years while focusing on her personal life and creative pursuits.

Jonah Hill is opening up about that bizarre moment three years ago when Kanye West claimed he didn’t hate Jewish people anymore ... all because of him.

Speaking on "The Zane Lowe Show," Jonah -- who’s Jewish -- said the whole thing sat with him in a seriously weird way ... mainly because the rapper tried walking back all the hate by casually posting a picture of him from his movie "21 Jump Street."

Jonah made it clear he’s always liked the Kanye he knew -- calling him one of the greatest artists alive -- but the antisemitic stuff Ye was putting out was always brutal, and he wasn't one to kick someone when they obviously seemed to be down.

Sydney Sweeney kept things low-key for Easter -- ditching the glam and stepping out for a chill date night with Scooter Braun.

Peep this -- the "Euphoria" star was keeping it shy in a fully covered-up fit ... sweater, jeans, cap ... slipping out of L.A.’s Gyu-Kaku right alongside the music mogul Sunday night.

The two looked deep in their couple bubble -- super easy, casual, no flash, just vibing together.

This bravehearted Irishman was nice enough to chat it up with us when we caught him at LAX in 2012 ... can you guess who he is?

That year, the iconic character actor was nominated for a Golden Globe Award, and less than 28 days later, we caught him hightailing it out of L.A.

Celebs love when that eggs-tra special guest stops by their Easter shindigs. You know who we're talking about ... the Easter Bunny!

EB's VIP at all the A-listers' Hollywood hangs -- partying it up with stars like Arnold Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion.

And Nick Cannon even hopped in the bunny suit himself to celebrate with Bre Tiesi and their son, Legendary Love Cannon.

And Mariah Carey may be the queen of Christmas ... but the Easter Bunny will always be her baby!

Even Paris Hilton and her son Phoenix were kicking it poolside with the Easter Bunny in this sweet snap.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's son just scored another major bodybuilding victory, taking home the INBA Iron Gladiator Classic Physique title.

Joseph Baena flexed his way to the top at the California competition Saturday, even snagging his pro card in the process. He celebrated on IG with some gladiator-style flair ... posing onstage with a sword and shield like he just conquered Rome.

Not bad for his second competition ever. Baena made his bodybuilding debut a week ago at the NPC Natural Colorado State show, where he already cleaned up with multiple first-place finishes.

Gabrielle Union is mourning the death of her father, Sylvester, after he lost his battle with dementia.

The actress posted a tribute to her dad on Instagram Saturday with a carousel of throwback photos -- following the death of Sylvester "Cully" Union Jr. Friday morning.

Gabrielle said there's nothing that can prepare you for the "painfully slow disappearing of your loved one" from dementia. She said her father started repeating words and being forgetful before losing the ability to swallow and walk.

Zendaya's looks over the years are giving all THE DRAMA!

Here is a 19-year-old version of the stunning star serving young Hollywood glamour at the Miss America Competition in Atlantic City, New Jersey back in 2015 (left). This was just a couple years after she wrapped her tenure on Disney's "Shake Up."

And, over a decade later, Zendaya recently startled the crowd in a white gown at "The Drama" premiere in Paris (right).

We know Tom Holland's Spidey senses are spot-on with Zendaya, but the question here is: Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Jonathan Majors is obviously a tough guy ... but he must have superhero strength -- because he says he wasn't hurt too bad after falling through a glass window on set of his new movie.

Here's the deal ... crew working on the new untitled movie produced by The Daily Wire and Bonfire Legend reportedly started striking earlier this week after an accident on set where Majors and actor JC Kiljoyne fell through a stunt window about 6 feet. The protesters were allegedly beginning to complain about other happenings around set before this incident, we're told.

Kiljoyne's hands were pretty cut up following the fall and he needed 3 or 4 stitches, our sources say. Though his rep told Deadline he "did not feel unsafe on set and continues to have a positive experience working on the project."

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner have risen up to do some coparenting again this holiday weekend ... walking around with their son Samuel on Good Friday in Los Angeles.

The former couple walked on either side of their 14-year-old son ... looking casual yet fashionable -- with Ben in a button-down and khakis while Garner rocked jeans and a long cardigan paired with a gray T-shirt.

Check out the photo ... Ben's cracking a big smile -- seemingly at something his son just said while Jenn eagerly waits for his reply.
