Movie Stars

Brad Pitt claims his ex-wife, Angelina Jolie, is refusing to turn over her movie contracts as he challenges her claim that she put her career on ice following their 2016 separation ... and now he wants a judge to intervene ... TMZ has learned. Angelina denies Brad has a right to see the information.

Brad filed court docs claiming Angelina has been giving him the runaround on producing documents showing her income from 2017 to 2021. During the time period, Angelina starred in many projects including "Maleficent: Mistress of Evil," Marvel's "Eternals," and "Those Who Wish Me Dead."

Brad's team says they asked her to provide info on upfront fees for her film roles, brand sponsorships, and any profit participation statements from movies Angelina starred in leading up to the time when she claims she "determined that she needed to sell Chateau Miraval to achieve financial independence."

There are a lot of things you can call your ex ... but Miranda Kerr just hit us with a surprising one ... brother!!!

Get this ... she was talking to Kristin Cavallari about co-parenting with Orlando Bloom, saying it's super easy because he's "like a brother" to her.

A bit of a wild statement, considering she's done things with Orlando that people don't usually do with their brothers ... it's literally how they had their son, Flynn.

"The View" cuts Whoopi Goldberg such a fat paycheck, even her fellow celebrities can't imagine the paydays!!!

Whoopi raved about her talk show contract during a guest appearance on Keke Palmer's podcast ... playfully boasting she makes more than Keke could ever comprehend.

They're joking and having a good time ... but Whoopi's laughing all the way to the bank!

She's been on the show since 2007 ... and quipped that the money's so good, she doesn't even mind that she's been "crazy glued to that chair."

Molly Shannon slammed a photographer she says once called her "ugly" and says karma came for him because he runs a dog daycare now ... but he says she's full of (dog) s***!

Remember ... Molly got her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in June, and told a story about how a photog called her ugly while shooting her headshots. She said karma came back around, because now he picks up dog poop for a living.

Andrew Rosenthal, owner of LA Dogworks, tells TMZ … that story's about him, and things didn't go down the way Molly says, calling her version of events "a fantasy."

He tells us ... "I am obnoxious sometimes, but I don’t see myself saying 'you’re ugly.'" He also said he doesn't remember ever shooting her.

Christina Applegate is back home after a nearly four-month hospital stay ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Christina, who had been hospitalized in Los Angeles since late March, was recently discharged.

A source close to the actress tells us she is home and doing well.

We broke the story ... the actress was hospitalized in early spring, though it was unclear at the time why she was admitted or how long she would remain there.

Mary Rivera, who played Ned Leeds' Filipino grandmother in "Spider-Man: No Way Home," has died ... TMZ has learned.

A family member tells TMZ ... Mary suffered a stroke and doctors warned the family her condition was extremely serious. The relative says doctors told them even if Mary emerged from the coma, her prognosis would not be good, so the family made the difficult decision to remove her from life support.

Mary passed away April 15 in Honolulu. We're told the actress was later cremated.

It looks like Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper might've quietly gotten married ... because they stepped out wearing matching rings on THAT finger!!!

Check out these photos ... the lovebirds were snapped in Paris on Monday, rocking bands on their left hands ... and holding hands.

Bradley and Gigi couldn't have been more laid back about the seemingly big reveal -- they were both rocking workout gear along with those rings.

Linda Blair's no-kill dog shelter received a recent visit from a horde of law enforcement over possible code violations, and they say they discovered over 250 dogs ... and now we're getting a look at the kennel in question.

Drone footage shows Linda's sprawling compound ... and the grounds are mostly filled with fenced in kennels full of dogs of all different breeds. Linda's got trees dotting her property, and it looks like she strung up some tarps to try and provide more shaded areas.

TMZ broke the story ... an "investigative warrant" was executed Friday to search Linda's shelter because permits for the 2 1/2-acre kennel apparently expired in 2023 -- and authorities say Blair ignored 24 attempts to contact her. During their search "to ensure animal welfare and check code violations," ... authorities say they discovered a staggering 251 dogs.

"The Exorcist" star downplayed the situation in a Facebook video -- but neighbors told TMZ they've had concerns for years over her shelter housing way too many dogs ... and they believe animals may be suffering as a result.

Linda Blair allegedly had hundreds of dogs on her property Friday when cops showed up over possible animal neglect and code violations -- and while she says it's all good and the pups are "fine," neighbors say there's a major problem.

Here's the deal ... law enforcement descended on the property with an "investigative warrant" to search Linda's shelter because permits for the 2 1/2-acre kennel apparently expired in 2023 -- and the Department of Regional Planning say Blair ignored 24 attempts to contact her over a period of 3 years. During their search "to ensure animal welfare and check code violations," authorities say they discovered a staggering 251 dogs.

The Department of Regional Planning say the warrant was issued to inspect multiple unpermitted structures and follow up on complaints. They say the facility has been repeatedly cited for license violations.

"The Exorcist" star downplayed the situation in a Facebook video and said it's all just a matter of "paperwork" -- but neighbors tell TMZ they've had concerns for years over her shelter housing way too many dogs ... and they believe animals may be suffering as a result.

Linda's neighbors tell TMZ ... they constantly hear cries and howls from dogs sounding like they're in distress.

Sebastian Stan and girlfriend Annabelle Wallis have officially welcomed their first baby together!!!

Sources with direct knowledge tell us the couple has officially become a family of three, and we're told the newborn arrived last month.

We broke the story that the two actors -- who have been together for about four years -- have been gearing up to welcome a baby, though details like the due date and gender of the child were under wraps at the time.

Scott Eastwood says he was ready to whoop Shia LaBeouf's ass on the set of "Fury" ... until Brad Pitt jumped in and broke it up.

Scott revisited the tense encounter on Monday's episode of "Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard" ... saying Shia's extreme method acting had already convinced him to keep his distance.

According to Scott, Shia pulled out a tooth and cut his own face while preparing for the 2014 war movie ... leaving Clint Eastwood's son thinking, "This guy's crazy."

Things finally boiled over when Scott spit tobacco juice on the movie's tank -- something his character was specifically instructed to do in the script -- and Shia took exception.

Vincent Pastore's death blindsided the people who knew him ... with his 'Sopranos' costar Joe Gannascoli telling TMZ there was no indication the actor was sick or battling any health issues.

Joe -- who played Vito Spatafore on the iconic HBO series -- says Vincent's passing "sort of came out of nowhere," especially after seeing video of him celebrating his 80th birthday just weeks before he was pronounced dead in his NYC home.

While Joe and Vincent never filmed a "Sopranos" episode together, they later worked alongside each other on "FoodFellas" and Gordon Ramsay's "Kitchen Nightmares"... and Joe is remembering Vincent as a man who was well-liked by fans, friends and everyone who knew him.

"Sopranos" actor Vincent Pastore was treated by first responders before he was pronounced dead at his New York City home ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... on Saturday at 2:20 PM ET, Vincent's female neighbor found the 80-year-old actor face up in bed at his residence in The Bronx.

Our sources say the neighbor called 911, prompting police and Emergency Service Unit workers to quickly respond. We're told one paramedic went to work on Vincent to try to save him, but no amount of treatment could bring him back.

Cuban-American actor Tony Plana was 33 years old when he played the rough-and-tumble bandito, Jefe in the 1986 comedy/western film "Three Amigos!"

Tony shared the big screen with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Chevy Chase.
