Quentin Tarantino -- known to drop a 4-letter word or two -- appropriately, left one in cement when he got a huge Hollywood honor at the TCL Chinese Theatre.

QT was immortalized Tuesday when he put his hand and footprints in sidewalk outside the legendary theatre. But the shoes he was wearing had "F*** U" in the soles, and yeah ... now that's in the cement too.

Of course, Tarantino's shoes are replicas of the same pair Uma Thurman wore in 'Kill Bill.'

It's unclear if the theatre will let the curses slide or censor the sidewalk. Gotta say ... it would be fitting to leave it as is, but we'll see.

Floyd Mayweather says UFC champ Conor McGregor can be as brash and arrogant as he wants without catching any heat ... because of the color of his skin.

Mayweather did an interview with the guys over at FightHype.com last week, and when the subject of the flamboyant McGregor came up ... Mayweather went off.

"He talks a lot trash and people praise him for it, but when I did it, they say I'm cocky and arrogant. So biased."

He goes on to say ... "I ain't racist at all, but I'm telling you racism still exists."

Floyd then brings Ronda Rousey and Laila Ali into it ... questioning why Laila didn't get the endorsement and movie love Ronda does ... even though he feels Ali accomplished more.

Add Colin Farrell to the growing list of people who think this could finally be Leonardo Dicaprio's year to win an Oscar.

We got Colin arriving at LAX Sunday night and he had high praise for Leo's performance in "The Revenant" -- making it clear there's more bromance between the actors than rivalry.

As a bonus ... the Irish native also shed some light on why football (soccer) is so popular in his homeland and still struggling in the States. We also love his New Year's resolution!

James Caan says his estranged wife is hammering him for money to the point he has to take crappy roles just to make enough money to feed the beast.

Caan just filed legal docs in his divorce case, claiming he wants to retire but estranged wife Linda Caan is blowing through his savings and he's forced to keep working to pay the bills.

Caan, who has started in epic movies including "The Godfather," says he has medical issues and at 75 wants to hang it up.

What he says is particularly galling is that he feels she's forcing him to sully his reputation, saying, "I am no longer willing to take parts in films and/or television shows which detract from the 50 years I have spent building my reputation."

Caan says just this past summer, he was forced to do a film called, "Sicilian Vampire." He says it was humiliating ... the premiere was in NYC and only 50 people showed.

As for what he's currently paying ... $13,000 a month in child support for their 2 children. It appears she's asking for more money and he's filed these documents in response.

This time you can't blame the North Koreans ... a new legal dispute has erupted over the "The Interview" ... a bigger disaster movie than 'Poseidon Adventure.'

You'll recall Sony got cold feet after the studio got hacked and the hackers threatened violence at the theaters ... the flick was yanked from movie houses for a short period of time and streamed instead.

According to a new lawsuit, the company that did the streaming -- Kernel Films -- hired a company called Neustar, which provides digital security to protect the streams.

Neustar claims the streaming went fine but when it came time for Kernel Films to pay the $1.1 million fee, the check wasn't in the mail.

Neustar is now suing Kernel for the $1.1 mil.

As for "The Interview" ... not worth the trouble, right?

Jason Wingreen, who voiced the villain Boba Fett in "Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back" and played Harry the bartender on "All In The Family" has died.

Wingreen died at his home in L.A. on Christmas day according to a statement from his son.

Wingreen, who has almost 200 credits to his name also appeared on "The Twlight Zone," "Archie Bunker's Place" and "The Untouchables."

The Hollywood Reporter, which broke the story, said he died after a brief illness.

He was 95-years-old.

Amiah Miller is just 11 and she made more in a few weeks than a lot of people make all year.

The pint-sized blonde scored a role in "War for the Planet of the Apes," which started filming in October.

According to the minor's contract filed with the court, her paycheck for the gig ... a sweet $65,000.

Mark Salling's movie metamorphosis may never be seen in theaters, but we got hold of a couple of pics.

Mark had a starring role in 'Gods and Secrets,' which is still in production. He plays a tortured villain and looks every bit the part.

As we reported, it's more than likely that his role will be recast and reshot in the wake of his child porn arrest.

Bella might have ended up with Edward in the "Twilight" series ... but he's out of the picture, so it's Jacob's time now!

Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner staged a mini "Twilight" reunion Tuesday night at The Nice Guy in West Hollywood.

They arrived together, but left separately ... in fact, Taylor took off with an unknown girl.

Mark Salling's first post-"Glee" movie has wrapped, but his performance may never see the light of day ... because producers are already considering cutting him from the film.

Salling is set to appear in the movie "Adi Shankar's Gods and Secrets," where he plays a villain.

We're told producers of the film will release a statement this morning saying they'll take a "wait and see" approach following his arrest Tuesday for possession of child porn.

But behind the scenes, we're told they're freaked out and already talking about cutting him out of the movie and recasting the role.

Melissa Mathison -- the 'E.T.' screenwriter and ex-wife of Harrison Ford -- is at the center of a mystery ... her will is missing, and turns out a lot is on the line because she's worth a bloody fortune.

Melissa -- who died last month from cancer -- had written a will but new court docs reveal her business manager can't find the original.

The court docs show Melissa is worth $22 million. Her fortune is all in a trust, but the document was not included in the legal papers so we don't know who's supposed to get it. She had 2 kids so it's a good assumption they'll get at least part of it.

So now the question ... what happens if the original will is never found? In California, as long as no one's fighting over her estate, a copy will do just fine.

Demetrius Shipp, Jr. was destined to play Tupac Shakur ... in fact, he was already being compared to the rapper when he was working retail.

Shipp was arriving in L.A. after the first week of shooting Morgan Creek Production's "All Eyez on Me," when he explained how Tupac has been a running theme throughout his entire life.

Tupac Shakur's story can't be told without Biggie Smalls ... and TMZ has learned the man taking on that role is no stranger to playing the East Coast rap legend.

Jamal Woolard will be reprising his role as Christopher Wallace in Morgan Creek Productions', "All Eyez on Me."

Woolard got rave reviews in 2009 when he played the namesake role in "Notorious."

We're told producers were so blown away by Woolard's Biggie performance, he was the top choice when it came to casting.

The casting is amazing and eerie ... you feel like you're smack in the middle of a raging East Coast-West Coast war ... except for the iPhone 6.

TMZ broke the story ... a new Tupac movie is in the works starring a first time actor who looks like a double for the late rapper.

Fun Fact: Jamal -- who also raps -- was featured on the posthumous Tupac track, "Untouchable."

Pittsburgh Steelers superstar Antonio Brown had an early Xmas gift for a local high school football team -- taking the entire squad to a screening of "Concussion" ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Brown hooked up the kids at Clairton High School in Pennsylvania -- a team he's essentially adopted since joining the Steelers.

Clairton head coach Wayne Wade tells us ... Brown organized a bus to take the players to a nearby theater and treated the kids to a night at the movies.

Wayne says Brown is always doing cool stuff for the high school -- "A couple years ago he paid for the whole team to go to Dave N Busters after the season."

So, why Clairton??

"He loves the whole small town, small team, small program thing. We are the winningest program in Pennsylvania, piled up 66 wins in a row (Pennsylvania record), won state championships."

Plus, Wayne played Arena League football with Antonio's dad.

So, what did we learn today ... people actually ARE going to see movies other than 'Star Wars.'

Tyler Perry star Tasha Smith had her marriage erased from planet Earth, after a judge ruled her hubby was a fraud.

Tasha got her marriage annulled a few days ago, after claiming he had a secret life he kept from her. Specifically, Tasha said during their courtship he told her he was a preacher and presented an image he was a man of faith.

Tasha says the reality was way different ... hubby Rory Douglas had been married 5 times before her. The judge said, "She in no way would have jumped within a few months at the chance to be bride number six."

What's more, the judge said Douglas concealed the number of kids he actually had, his past criminal conduct, and failure to pay taxes for nearly a decade.

11:45 AM PST -- Corey Feldman wrote on Twitter he's "very sad" about McCarter's death.

Brooke McCarter, who played Paul in "The Lost Boys," has died after a long-term illness.

The 52-year-old McCarter passed away Tuesday ... the result of complications from a genetic liver condition.

McCarter's acting career didn't take off after 'Lost Boys.' He made a name for himself as a regular at Horror Conventions around the country.
