Movie Stars

Tim Curry fans have at least one more movie to look forward to ... because TMZ has learned he finished filming his final role before he died.

It was reported in early June, Tim was set to star in "STREAM 2: Sudden Death" as the role of Lockwood in the upcoming project ... and we spoke to the film's director, Michael Leavy, who told us Tim finished all of his scenes.

Michael tells TMZ ... he's shocked and devastated that Tim is now gone -- adding he was a "true cultural icon" and an honor to work with. He says the whole team feels incredibly fortunate that Tim will forever be linked to the franchise.

Tim Curry didn't go out nearly as much in recent years after a massive stroke made it hard for him to get around ... but he did treat himself to a pub outing with some pals a few days after he turned 80.

Photogs captured Tim getting out of a red van with the help of a caregiver ... who wheeled him into a popular North Hollywood pub on April 23 ... 4 days after his 80th birthday.

We're told Tim met with some friends, shared a few laughs, then left the establishment.

Blake Lively is not getting her enormous wish -- $8 million in attorneys' fees -- because a judge just ruled Justin Baldoni will only have to fork over $400K ... TMZ has learned.

As you know ... a judge dismissed Justin Baldoni's defamation lawsuit against Blake and the New York Times in June, but ruled she was entitled to attorneys' fees for defeating the claim.

Blake asked a judge to award her $8 million -- claiming Justin owed her $7,495,526.87 in fees she incurred in fighting his lawsuit and $539,514.01 in costs and expenses incurred while defending herself.

Hayden Panettiere's death gave her former castmates a reason to get together ... inspiring her former "Heroes" co-stars to celebrate her life and lasting impact on Hollywood and beyond.

Jimmy Jean-Louis -- a veteran actor who played a recurring character known as "The Haitian" in 32 episodes of the beloved superhero show -- shared photos from the gathering ... including a big group photo that featured stars like Jack Coleman, Masi Oka and Adrian Pasdar.

Madeline Zima -- who recently spoke with us about Hayden's life and legacy -- attended ... and Zachary Quinto, who played the infamous villain Sylar on the show, and Sendhil Ramamurthy appeared via video call.

This week's "Chix On Netflix" is clearly a star who ain't affraid of some shameless sexy pix!

Been on Netflix recently? You may've seen her film "The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes."

Busy Philipps says she had to go under the knife twice to remove a rare brain tumor ... a shocking health crisis she's revealing for the first time.

The actress was diagnosed in February with the malignant tumor ... and had it removed just weeks before she was set to begin filming her new CBS show "Cupertino," she told PEOPLE.

Busy says she had no obvious symptoms -- such as seizures -- but she went in for a full MRI to get checked out for good measure and discovered the tumor.

And, get this ... Busy says she only went for the screening after seeing someone recommend it on Instagram.

Raquel Lee reportedly made a secret settlement with actor Mark Curry long before suing Disney for failing to protect her from allegedly getting raped as a teenager.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Raquel reached a "confidential settlement agreement" in 2015 with Curry, who played her dad on "The Poof Point."

Prominent attorney Gloria Allred -- who represented more than 30 of Bill Cosby's accusers -- represented Raquel in the settlement.

No word at the moment on what the private resolution was for.

Can you guess the steamy hot American actor showing off this bulging vein on his toned and tanned bicep?!

Like most hot guys, this actor played soccer before hittin' the mainstream during Covid ... where he made TikTok dance videos which has led to him having over 30 million followers!

This stud also starred in a pair of romantic comedies along with being in the new "Baywatch" TV show where you can see even more of his insanely ripped beach bod rescuing beachgoers ... who are probably passing out over how hot he is.

Blake Lively testified about how she got her hands on the text messages she used as evidence in her since-dismissed lawsuit against Justin Baldoni ... TMZ has learned.

During her July 2025 deposition, Blake was asked how she obtained the texts from publicist Jennifer Abel's phone ... texts that were later a big part of her claim that Justin had hired a crisis PR firm to take her down after she complained about sexual harassment on the set of "It Ends With Us." Justin denied the claims. The case was later settled before trial.

In her depo, Blake said her friend Ashley Avignone, who is also friends with Taylor Swift, told her about the text messages. Blake says Ashley told her that she knew a publicist named Stephanie Jones, who was trying to get a hold of Blake.

Blake Lively is soaking up all summer has to offer ... taking her kiddos and some friends to Canada for a boat day ... and only TMZ has video.

We obtained footage showing the actress pulling up to the Port Sanfield Marina in Ontario last Friday with a boat full of friends and children, including some of her own.

Blake -- dressed in a red bikini top -- looks confident pulling up to the dock ... where staff members await her. No Ryan Reynolds sighting for this boat excursion -- Blake's the captain now.

Chris Hansen still has a bone to pick over the upcoming film based on his pedo-catching days ... and he shared a receipt to back up his claim that A24 was trying to do him dirty.

The former "To Catch a Predator" host sent TMZ a portion of an NDA he says the studio asked him to sign to attend a private screening of "Primetime" -- the new movie starring Robert Pattinson as him -- and he claimed the paperwork asked for him to sign away the rights to his life.

Clause 5 of Hansen's alleged NDA reads ... "Recipient hereby releases, Company and its parents, subsidy areas, affiliates, divisions, agents, representatives, employees, successor, and assigns, jointly and individual individually, from any and all claims and demands arising out of or in connection with the project, including recipients screening of the project."

Chris tells TMZ ... there was no way in hell he was going to sign that ... and he thinks A24 tried to pull a fast one on him.

Orlando Bloom dropped out of his recent movie at the last minute ... and the cast and crew who feel screwed over are especially pissed ... because without his star power to match Priyanka Chopra's ... the project might be toast.

Here's the deal ... Orlando was all set to star in and co-produce the upcoming indie survival thriller flick "Reset" alongside Priyanka -- and we hear he was onboard all through pre-production ... but peaced out just as cameras were about to roll.

Sources on "Reset" tell TMZ ... they feel it's a pretty f-d up situation ... Orlando is a bankable star, so the independent project got financed with him and Priyanka attached -- and it would've been way easier to secure an international distributor with him in the fold.

Djimon Hounsou's ex says she wants a judge to hold him in contempt of court ... after she claims he violated a court order by taking their kids out of state without giving sufficient notice.

Ri'za Marie Simpson filed her petition earlier this month ... claiming that on August 15, Djimon's lawyer informed her Djimon planned to take their children from Georgia to California.

Ri'za says a previous court order demands that one parent give the other advance written notice of the trip, along with details like the dates of travel and where they're staying. 

She claims she was given "at best an hour and a half of 'advance notice'" and insists that doesn't cut it. Ri'za also says the trip to California is not in the best interests of the kids, claiming it will cause them to miss their entire third week of school.

Dolly Parton was in the process of handling her late husband Carl Dean's estate when she passed away ... TMZ has learned.

TMZ obtained court docs filed by Dolly in May 2025, two months after Carl died at the age of 82. According to the filing, Carl signed a will in 2012, which essentially put the country star in charge of his estate.

Carl's will said he was married to Dolly, and they had no children. The paperwork said Carl had five nieces and nephews, while Dolly had 14 nieces and nephews.

Jane Fonda says people should try to stay positive in the aftermath of Dolly Parton's death ... and to be grateful for the legacy she left behind, which should "ease our sadness."

The actress -- who famously starred alongside the country star in the hit comedy "9 to 5" -- shared a post in Dolly's honor Tuesday afternoon ... telling her more than 2.8 million followers she's devastated that her friend has now moved on.

Jane says Dolly -- more than anyone else she's ever known -- will never truly be gone because she was "so present, so powerful, so generous and playful that she is woven into all our lives and hearts forever."

The wife of actor Samuel Monroe Jr. is livid that his mother is apparently trying to get the court to cut her out of the picture while he's debilitated in the hospital ... and she says she's ready to go to war.

Shawna Stewart tells TMZ she believes Joyce Patton's petition asking to establish a conservatorship for her son is financially motivated -- and not about Sam's well-being.

The actor's wife says Sam made it clear he wanted her in charge of his money and medical decisions ... and not his mother.

As for Joyce questioning whether the couple is legally married ... Shawna won't share proof with TMZ -- but says his mom is in for a surprise.
