NBA star Caron Butler has made it clear he'd LOVE for Michael B. Jordan to play him in the movie Mark Wahlberg is producing about his life.

So, when we saw Michael B. out at Catch in West Hollywood Tuesday night ... we had to ask the guy -- would you do it???

Good news for Caron, he didn't exactly say no.

Of course, Caron's life story is amazing -- he overcame a hard life as a drug dealing youth to make in the NBA. Wahlberg bought the rights to Caron's story back in March and now a movie is in the works.

In fact, the last time we got Butler out he told us how things are going behind the scenes -- and why he wants Michael B. to play him on-screen.

The kid who played Juni in the "Spy Kids" movie franchise has been somewhat of a missing agent in Hollywood since the early 2000s ... until now.

Shia LaBeouf tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend, Mia Goth, in a Las Vegas ceremony that was NOT traditional ... TMZ has learned.

The couple got hitched at Viva Las Vegas, a chapel known for themed weddings. Some of the options include Elvis and Alice Cooper packages, or the more generic gangster and gladiator themes.

We've learned they went with the Elvis and Hawaiian themes. Mia even hitched a ride with Elvis in a pink Cadillac to the ceremony, and from the sound of it, planning the wedding was a lot easier than the honeymoon...

They also offer traditional weddings, but no one would expect that from a guy who watches marathon sets of his own films ... for the sake of art.

Shia and Mia started dating in 2012, after meeting on the set of "Nymphomaniac: Volume II." They made headlines for a public fight in Germany in July of 2015. Goth was seen wearing an engagement ring back in March.

Shailene Woodley was arrested for criminal trespass while protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline ... law enforcement tells TMZ.

The 'Divergent' star was busted Monday morning for trespassing during what she called a "peaceful protest" in Sioux County, North Dakota. About 100 protesters were on a construction site for the controversial pipeline project before cops moved in and put handcuffs on Shailene.

Shailene was arrested for 2 misdemeanors ... including engaging in a riot. Cops tell us they issued multiple warnings for the protesters to leave. 27 protesters were ultimately arrested.

The planned pipeline affects sacred Standing Rock Sioux land and burial grounds. On Sunday, a Federal appeals court rejected their request to stop the construction ... which sparked the protest.

Bradley Pierce, the little kid from "Jumanji," is splitting with his wife of 10 years.

Shari Pierce filed for divorce ... stating in legal docs the couple separated back in January. She wants joint legal custody of their 3 kids ... and also wants an even split of their Marriott timeshare.

Bradley tells TMZ ... he recently moved into a new home and is living separately from the family -- but everything's amicable. Much like the "Jumanji" franchise, he's starting fresh. Bradley's been dating someone for a few months -- so he's down with this reboot.

Dr. Dre has delivered a clear threat over an upcoming TV movie that shows him beating his ex-GF senseless ... he's threatening to sue if it airs.

Sony Pictures is set to release "Surviving Compton: Dre, Suge & Michel'le" ... a film that depicts Dre as a woman beater. We've learned Dre's legal team fired off a cease and desist letter ... demanding that Sony back off, if it doesn't want to end up in court.

According to the letter, Dre flatly denies ever abusing Michel'le. It makes reference to the fact that they dated around 30 years ago and she never hinted at abuse or any type of violent behavior on his part. They also say she never sought medical treatment or filed a police report.

We're told Dre's character in the film is extremely violent -- attacking Michel'le by pulling her hair, punching her in the face and even pulling a gun on her.

Dre's attorneys have also warned Michel'le to back off.

The film is set for release next week.

He was a helluva boxer ... but as a UFC fighter Rocky Balboa "would have been a water boy" -- so says Sylvester Stallone.

Now that Sly's a part owner of the UFC -- we were asking him all about the sport Wednesday night as he was leaving Catch in West Hollywood ... and he revealed the best perks of UFC ownership.

But as far as Rocky in the UFC goes -- we think he's underestimating the guy ... remember, HE CHOKED OUT THUNDERLIPS IN "ROCKY III."

Lindsay Lohan touched base with her old "Mean Girls" crush just days after Oct. 3 -- National "Mean Girls" Day -- and they were LONG overdue for a catchup.

We're told ... Lindsay and Jonathan Bennett, who co-starred in the high school movie classic, FaceTimed Thursday after not talking for years.

Jonathan was in NYC when he bumped into a close friend of Lindsay's, who suggested they hit her up on the spot. Lindsay posted a pic of their Facetime convo ... and it looks like there was a lot to smile about.

Jonathan told us Monday he totally lost contact with Lindsay.

Lindsay's all stitched up now and back to work.

The producers of a Mike Tyson documentary straight-up jacked photos from the Tyson-Holyfield bout for the film ... so claims the photographer in a new lawsuit.

Famed boxing photographer Teddy Blackburn says Xenon Pictures stole 4 of his shots from Tyson's infamous ear-biting 1997 fight against Evander Holyfield.

Xenon released the documentary in 2004 but, according to docs, never bothered to ask Blackburn for his permission to use the photos. Important note ... none of the photos are of Tyson's bite.

Blackburn's suing for a cut of the profits and other damages.

A spokesperson for Xenon Pictures tells TMZ ... the company licensed the film from a production company in the UK and says the licensor "fully warranted that all material used in the program (including the photos allegedly belonging to the plaintiff) were properly purchased."

Laura Prepon is weighing in a little heavier these days after Ben Foster slipped a diamond engagement ring on her ... which made its debut in NYC.

Ben and Laura have only been together, at least publicly, since the summer, but he popped the question anyway. The "Orange Is the New Black" star strategically positioned her bling Tuesday night at the premiere of her new movie, "The Girl on the Train."

It's Laura's first engagement, and Ben's second. He was engaged to Robin Wright, but they called it off in 2015.

Congrats!

Rihanna's gonna get all wet -- and probably (fake) bloody -- when she steps into the infamous "Psycho" shower, and her "Bates Motel" director is so psyched.

Nestor Carbonell stars on the show, but will also be directing RiRi's upcoming episode where she plays Marion Crane ... the character in that legendary shower stabbing. We got him out in L.A. -- walking his dog -- and tried to find out if he's going for a straight remake or putting a new twist on the scene.

Check it out ... Nestor does spill at least one big deet.

Danny Trejo is known for being a badass on the big screen ... but he's becoming more and more popular for serving badass tacos to hungry Los Angelenos.

We got Danny at LAX -- just in time for National Taco Day -- and he says business is so awesome at his Trejo's Tacos restaurant, he's about to open a second one.

And if you're looking for a bonus side order to go with your eats ... Danny's gonna make you an offer you can't, or shouldn't, refuse. Check it out.

October 3rd is officially "Mean Girls" Day and for the film's heartthrob, Jonathan Bennett, that means his phone doesn't stop blowing up.

We got Jonathan out in WeHo where he told us how the role -- and that one simple line -- hasn't stopped haunting him, a dozen years later. However, Jonathan says there is a certain someone who's not hitting him up.

We broke the news to him about co-star Lindsay Lohan's injured finger, and you gotta see his reaction. Safe to say, he'll give her a pass for not calling.

And the Academy Award goes to ... someone other than Clay Matthews.

But hey, at least when it comes to reenacting scenes from classic movies ... the Packers star gets an A for effort.

Will Forte's still far away from making life-changing inventions out of household materials in "MacGruber 2" ... despite the panic on the Internet.

The buzz started Monday when Will's co-writer and director, Jorma Taccone, tweeted they were working on a "MacGruber" sequel. Jorma even shared a pic of the "Super Duper Rough" script.

Will tried to downplay the hype when we got him at LAX, saying he has at least one other priority -- but then he slipped into character ... so, yeah. GET EXCIT--

Kiefer Sutherland is a HUGE hockey fan ... and although he doesn't hit the ice as much as he used to ... he still remembers which celebrity opponent delivered the hardest check.

TMZ Sports ran into the "Designated Survivor" star ... who tells us Tim Robbins is no joke on skates.

Since Robbins, who's 6'5'', has a clear height advantage over Sutherland (5'9'') ... we had to ask his strategy against the 'Shawshank Redemption' star.
