Dennis Quaid can thank Donald Trump for inspiring him on his new Crackle show, "The Art Of More."

We're told Quaid and Trump are buds and his "I don't give a f***" persona perfect fits Quaid's character. In fact, the two have played golf together so Dennis knows Trump's mannerisms.

The show's about the shady secrets of the art world. Quaid plays a billionaire real estate tycoon who wants to try his hand in politics.

If you were a TMZ photog and could fire off one question to Prince Harry, what would it be?

From our vantage point our photog Colin did it right, because it could have at the very least gotten a chuckle.

Jeffrey Katzenberg can't drive right now but he's still a driven man ... because he won't let a pesky car accident that landed him in a hospital O.R. keep him from running his super successful company.

We've learned Jeffrey was driving his Tesla in Bev Hills Monday when he got in a bad accident ... so bad he was taken to a nearby hospital.

We're told doctors operated on his arm and when they were done they put the appendage in a full cast.

Painful for sure, but Tuesday morning the DreamWorks Animation CEO was back at work, holding meetings and making deals ... pain be damned.

89-year-old Doris Roberts' date night did NOT end well -- her guy friend unloaded on us about the movie they saw ... and it was NOT GOOD.

Doris and her longtime BF Jack Betts were leaving Arclight Theaters in Hollywood when our photog made the mistake of asking what they saw, and while Doris was quiet ... Betts launched into one of the most brutal movie reviews we've ever seen.

Sorry, producers of 'Room.' Your touching movie about a mother and her little boy escaping the room where they've been held captive for years ... just didn't touch Jack.

Aka, it blows. IHO.

Justin Bieber's new song will become part of a new movie that showcases the entire album ... TMZ has learned.

The new song, "Sorry," is the latest release from Bieber's new album, Purpose. Our sources say the movie will feature the 18 songs on the album, with interpretive dance. It's being choreographed by Parris Goebel, who's worked with Biebs for years.

We're told the movie will run approximately 35 minutes.

As for "Sorry," a source connected to Bieber's label tells us the title and song reflect Bieber's mea culpa for past hijinks.

Batman or Superman -- which one's gonna bang your wife when you're not looking ... is the question we put to the world's leading expert on the caped wonders.

Of course, Zack Snyder's directing the highly anticipated "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" ... so when our camera guy spotted him in Hollywood, he fired off a super series of questions about the heroes.

Who's cheap, who'd babysit, and best of all -- who'd you trust hanging out with your wife? Zack played along, answering all 3.

We trust he knew this was hypothetical, and not really about Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill.

Sarah Silverman brought two dates to the Hollywood premiere of her new movie "I Smile Back." We're sure everyone around her was doing just that.

As for eye contact? Not happening ...

"Back to the Future" actress Lea Thompson is pumped up to reunite with her castmates, but bummed about one piece of technology from the movie she just can't get her hands on ... yet.

Lea was on TMZ Live today to help us celebrate "Back to the Future" Day. She was getting ready for Wednesday night's screening of the film's original sequel ... which featured those cool self-lacing shoes.

Nike says it's finally created the kicks in real life, but even though Lea had a starring role as Marty McFly's mother ... she told us the swag hasn't shown up on her doorstep.

This is one of the things that happens if you try to wish Siri a "Happy Back to the Future Day."

Ouch.

Of course, in 'BTTF2' the Cubbies won the World Series in 2015 -- and up until a few days ago, it seemed like there was a real chance life was going to imitate art.

But that was before CHI choked and lost the first 3 games of the NLCS to the Mets.

And now, as our friends at BSO pointed out ... Cubs fans can't even use their iPhones without a reminder their team sucks in the playoffs.

Lyft couldn't make flying cars happen in time for "Back to the Future" Day but it created the next best thing -- McFly mode, where customers get carted around NYC in a DeLorean!!

A rep from the rideshare company tells TMZ they searched high and low for the vintage whips Marty McFly and Doc Brown rode into the future -- which is today, Oct. 21, 2015.

We're told Lyft and Verizon shipped the cars to NYC, along with their owners, who drove customers around town ... some even dressing up like McFly or Doc. Best of all -- the rides are free ... but good luck getting one.

Lyft wants to maximize customer enjoyment, so rides are limited to around 15 minutes.

Keep it under 88 MPH, drivers!

Michael J. Fox was out in New York City on Wednesday morning -- aka "Back to the Future" Day -- sporting a pair of shoes he probably laced himself and getting into a car that does not go back in time.

For the uninitiated, October 21, 2015 is the date Marty McFly (Fox's character in the sequel) travels to when he goes into the future with Doc Brown to save his son from being arrested.

The movie's vision of the future included flying cars, self-drying jackets and the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series ... none of which is a reality this year.

Today's not just a huge day for "Back to the Future" loving nerds, it's also a huge day for their idols.

We're told Wednesday night will be the first time in more than 25 years the entire 'BTTF' cast will be together in the same room! They're all showing up for a screening at the Lincoln Center in NYC.

Of course, Oct. 21, 2015 is the date Marty and Doc travel back to in 'BTTF2.'

Claudia Wells, better known as Marty's girlfriend Jennifer Parker from the first film, tells TMZ even though she sees some of the cast at convention appearances from time to time ... the whole gang hasn't been together since the 1989 premiere of 'BTTF2.'

Wells already scored a bonus. She was expecting Marty, Doc Brown, Lorraine, Biff and even Mayor Goldie Wilson at tonight's screening -- but tells us she just ran into Huey Lewis in her hotel lobby Wednesday morning!

That's the power of love.

"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" is going way too far on the dark side -- according to the thousands upon thousands of people now accusing the upcoming film of promoting "white genocide."

We know this sounds bizarre, but there's actual Twitter unrest today with #BoycottStarWarsVII trending like crazy. The movement started shortly after a new poster for the flick was released Monday.

The poster features John Boyega -- as well as Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher ... but haters think the image is pushing black over white ... and not just the movie's main characters.

Seems like classic trolling to us, but at least it's made for some entertaining tweets and memes:

And ...

James Franco had a very belated Bar Mitzvah Saturday night ... Hollywood style.

Zac Efron is sober ... and if you say otherwise, you could lose your job.

An extra on “Neighbors 2” learned that lesson the hard way this week, after he Instagrammed a pic from the set showing a baggie filled with fake weed, with the caption, "Thanks for the weed Zac Efron! BTW it's only a prop, people."

Apparently the disclaimer wasn't enough. The extra was 86'd almost immediately. Our source says it wasn't the first time the extra had gotten in trouble for inappropriate posts.

We're told Zac was not involved in the decision to fire the guy.

Efron went to rehab in 2013, so it's a sensitive subject.

Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough got soaked practicing their latest routine for "Dancing with the Stars."

If you can't tell by the picture ... they're recreating the famous Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey dance lift from "Dirty Dancing" for next week's movie night -- and seem to have already nailed it.

Bindi and Derek are already in the lead on the scoreboard ... and they're not going anywhere.
