J.J. Abrams, director of 'The Force Awakens,' just said it all ...

Carrie Fisher was a kid at heart, especially when she got a hold of a squirt gun ... so says Chewbacca, who was there when it happened during the filming of 'Star Wars.'

Peter Mayhew joined "TMZ Live" Tuesday to share his favorite memory with Princess Leia ... going rogue on the cast with a squirt gun and soaking everyone ... including Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill.

Carrie Fisher's last film will not be compromised as a result of her death ... TMZ has learned.

An official from Lucasfilm tells us Carrie was "absolutely wrapped" for "Star Wars: Episode VIII."

The official added it's too early to tell how Carrie's passing will impact future installments of the franchise.

Fisher plays General Leia Organa in 'VIII.' The movie's official Twitter account said they wrapped back in July.

An actress who appeared in "Step Up" has been found dead in her car after disappearing on Christmas day.

Tricia Lynn McCauley was a no-show at a Christmas dinner and did not show up for a flight out of DC Monday.

Her body was found Tuesday in the heart of the Capital.

The murder has signs of a carjacking, although cops have not confirmed it. The suspect was seen driving McCauley's car around DC. Before McCauley disappeared, the suspect allegedly robbed a drug store and attacked the employees.

Carrie Fisher was unresponsive as paramedics raced to the gate 74 ... according to emergency dispatch calls to LAX.

TMZ obtained the audio, and you can hear LAFD responding to a reported cardiac arrest. Air traffic control coordinated to make sure first responders were ready when the plane pulled into the gate.

It also sounds like some of the passengers assisting on flight 935 were nurses.

3:58 PM PT -- Carrie's brother, Todd, just told AP she's in stable condition.

2:46 PM PT -- We're told when the plane landed paramedics worked on Carrie for 15 minutes with CPR before they were able to get a pulse. She's currently at UCLA Medical Center on a ventilator.

Carrie Fisher suffered a massive heart attack Friday on an airplane ... TMZ has learned.

Our sources say Carrie was on a United flight from London to LAX when she went into cardiac arrest. People on board were administering CPR. United Airlines says its crew reported Carrie as "unresponsive" when they landed.

We're told the emergency occurred 15 minutes before the plane landed in L.A. A flight attendant asked if there were any medical personnel on board and an EMT who was sitting in the back of the plane came up to first class and administered life-saving measures.

Witnesses at LAX tell us Carrie's eyes were closed and she appeared unconscious as EMTs rushed her through the terminal. She had an oxygen mask on her face.

The plane landed just after noon in L.A. and paramedics rushed her to a nearby hospital.

Fisher, who became famous, of course, as Princess Leia from 'Star Wars,' has been on a book tour.

Story developing ...

Kanye West dodged all the holiday shopping madness, and opted for the peace and quiet of a movie theater ... but it didn't help his mood.

'Ye slipped into something comfy for movie night in Westlake Village, CA -- not far from the house he and Kim are renovating. Obviously, he could use a feel-good flick right about now.

Best we can tell, he either saw 'Rogue One' or "Sing" ... he's a big fan of animated movies. Whichever it was, Kanye left looking unimpressed.

Seems more like an "Assassin's Creed" guy to us, anyway.

It's not exactly a Cinderella story ... but it's pretty damn cool that Bill Murray is opening a Caddyshack-themed bar in the Windy City!

Zsa Zsa Gabor, the Hungarian beauty who some called the OG Kim Kardashian, is dead just shy of 100 years old ... TMZ has learned.

We've learned Gabor died Sunday after suffering a heart attack. She was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Zsa Zsa endured a number of health problems in the last several years. Her right leg had to be partially amputated in 2011 after it got infected. Her husband, Frederic Prinz Von Anhalt, held birthday parties for Gabor the last few years, but she was so sick visitors were not allowed in her bedroom.

Zsa Zsa and her younger sister, Eva, were socialites in Beverly Hills for decades. Zsa Zsa had nearly 80 tv and film acting credits, but most often she played herself.

She was married to Conrad Hilton, Paris Hilton's great grandfather, from 1942-1947.

Jennifer Gimenez came off the set of "Blow" as an addict, but turned herself into a rehab guru -- and says she would've helped George Jung get clean too ... if he wanted it.

The actress, who starred in the film about the famous drug smuggler, tells us she got word from someone in George's camp last year telling her he was drinking a lot ... and they were worried he'd get busted if he didn't get treatment.

Watch -- it sounds like the wheels were in motion, but then came to a hard stop when George got busted last week for a parole violation.

The numbers are in for James Caan's divorce, and he's forking over a hefty check to his ex-wife to square up their assets.

According to docs, obtained by TMZ, James will give Linda Stokes $400k for retroactive spousal support, child support, and to split their property and business holdings.

In addition, James has to pay $3,124 per month in child support until their son finishes high school next year. The big hit -- at least $5,000 per month in spousal support until Linda remarries ... or one of them kicks the bucket.

Diego Luna must think the paparazzi are with the Empire, and fans are his fellow rebels ... because he was slow to answer but quick on the draw -- with his pen.

We got the 'Rogue One' actor, who plays Rebel leader Captain Cassian Andor, at LAX Thursday where he got swarmed by an army of clones -- "Star Wars" fanboys -- who all wanted an autograph from the franchise's latest star.

Our photog tries asking some legit questions about Hispanics in Hollywood ... but Diego resists and sticks to signing off for his admirers.

The Force is strong with this one.

Marilyn Monroe's handwritten notes on how to act sexier are now in the hands of one lucky fan.

Marilyn's script for her final movie, "Something's Got to Give" ... was sold by Nate D Sanders Auctions on Thursday for $25k. The document is awesome because it includes notes she wrote to help nail her lines -- things like "lean towards him" and "leeding him on." Spelling wasn't really her thing ... not that anyone complained.

MM was famously fired from the romantic comedy, co-starring Dean Martin, in June 1962 ... reportedly for being disruptive. She died 2 months later.

Fun fact: The film was never completed with a new actress because Dean refused to do it without his original leeding lady.

Jack Black's still a little confused about what to call his new version of "Jumanji" but he's very clear about how the late great Robin Williams would feel about it.

Jack was doing some shopping at The Grove in L.A. when we chatted about shooting the flick over in Hawaii. Based on pics from the set, it looked like Jack, Kevin Hart, The Rock and the rest of the cast had a blast.

JB confirms that's exactly what it was, and adds ... fans should not get hung up on labels. Just enjoy the ride.

Jerry Heller's nephew wants a judge to let him create and run an estate for his late uncle ... purely for the purpose of taking down Ice Cube and Dr. Dre in court.

Lawyers for Terry Heller filed docs Tuesday asking he be named executor of Jerry's will -- all because he plans to pursue the defamation suit against everyone behind "Straight Outta Compton."

Sources close to Terry tell TMZ ... all of Jerry's assets were already put into a private trust before his death, and the only reason he's doing this is to change the name of the plaintiff from Jerry to Jerry's estate ... 'cause dead guys can't sue.

You'll recall ... Jerry sued Dre, Cube and other producers of 'Compton' for $110 mil last year, claiming the film falsely made him look like "the bad guy." A judge has tossed most of the case since then, but there's still 2 questionable scenes on the table.

Matthew Lewis had already transformed from nerdy Neville Longbottom to a Hollywood hottie, and now his life's about to change even more -- the 'Harry Potter' star is engaged.

Lewis popped the question to Angela Jones last month, and she said yes to being his real-life Hannah Abbott. We're told Angela's an event planner at Universal Studios in Orlando, which is where she met Matt ... at a Wizarding World event in January.

The engagement went down in Paris -- très romantique.

This will be Matt's first marriage, and Angela's second. BTW, she just got divorced in July.

Pretty impressive for an old Gryffindork.
