George Jung arrived in San Francisco on Monday night to move into a halfway house ... but tells us the Massachusetts native dined on a hometown favorite before his flight.

As TMZ first reported, Jung -- the prolific cocaine smuggler portrayed by Johnny Depp in the movie "Blow" -- was released from prison yesterday after serving nearly 20 years behind bars.

"Boston George" -- who looks good for having spent two decades behind bars -- told a photog at the airport he partook in a New England mainstay before heading west.

Brace yourselves Nerf Herders ... TMZ obtained a photo of what looks like the beginning stages of Han Solo's famous spaceship the Millennium Falcon!!!

Sources close to the Rebel Alliance tell us the pics were taken inside an uber-secret location in the UK -- where different set pieces, props and creatures are being constructed.

At first glance, it looked like run-of-the-mill set pieces ... until one of our top "Star Wars" nerds in the office spotted the legendary Millennium Falcon in mid-construction -- at least that's how it looks.

It also looks like they're building an X-wing.

The new Star Wars movie just started shooting, and sci-fi geeks have plenty to celebrate ... 'cause we scored the first pics of some strange new characters over in Abu Dhabi!!

And no, that’s not a new planet in a galaxy far, far away -- it’s part of the United Arab Emirates, and yeah ... you don't really care. Star Wars!!!

Earlier this month in a galaxy far far away, known as Abu Dhabi, J.J. Abrams began filming "Star Wars: Episode VII" ... and TMZ has obtained pics from the ultra-secretive set -- including one GIANT creature.

Jedi sources tell us the new alien was manned by 5 men inside its belly ... and was used in two scenes taking place in what looks like a Tatooine marketplace (Star Wars nerds get it)

According to reports, producers intend to use less CG in the new movies -- instead, relying heavily on practical effects like the original trilogy ... which is evident in these photos.

We don't wanna give too much away ... but if you're a Star Wars fan, you should probably be clicking through the gallery already.

George Jung -- the prolific cocaine smuggler portrayed by Johnny Depp in the movie “Blow” -- has been released from prison after serving almost 20 years behind bars -- and TMZ has a pic of his first moments of freedom.

Jung (now 71-years-old) was doing time at FCI Fort Dix in New Jersey and was supposed to be released in November ... but for some reason the ex-drug smuggler got out early.

For those of you who haven't seen the movie ... Jung was one of the biggest coke dealers of the '70s and '80s -- and was said to be responsible for roughly 89% of cocaine smuggled into the country at the time.

Sources tell us Jung is being released to a half-way house on the West Coast ... where he'll receive help transitioning back into society.

Michael Biehn, who starred in "The Terminator" and "Aliens" is getting divorced ... with a big twist.

Michael's wife, Gina Biehn, filed for divorce in L..A. County Superior Court. It's a long trek for her -- because she lives in England. In fact, according to court docs, obtained by TMZ, she's been separated from Michael since 2007.

We thought Michael was actually married to another woman -- Jennifer Biehn. Turns out, they've been living together for years and although she legally changed her name they're not hitched.

Michael and Gina have an 11-year-old son and she wants full legal and physical custody. She also wants child support.

We're told it was a very bad break up back on '07 and they actually got back together several times but it didn't work out. We're also told Michael has been sending Gina regular financial support.

BTW ... Jennifer is a celeb of sorts. She just did a spread for German Penthouse.

Liberty Ross now has her own chapter in the Silver Linings Playbook -- CHEATING can pay handsomely.

Liberty's divorce from director Rupert Sanders is now settled ... TMZ has learned. We're told Rupert has given Liberty more than half of the marital assets or, as one source said, "He paid her guilt money."

As you know ... Rupert famously cheated on Liberty by banging Kristen Stewart during the filming of "Snow White and the Huntsman" ... which he directed. Liberty played Kristen's mom.

We found legal docs filed May 22 in which Rupert gave Liberty his interest in their $2 million Hollywood Hills home. The other assets were divided up, and we're told she made out very well.

And here's Liberty's ultimate f-you to Rupert. Not only did she get more than half ... she's dating music mogul Jimmy Iovine, who according to Forbes is worth just a hair under 1 BILLION.

Kristen Stewart, Rupert. Really?

Here's Emma Watson pissing off tons of recent college grads -- and their parents -- by bucking the trend and getting a job days after getting a diploma.

Emma was smiling as she reported to work on the Toronto set of "Regression" ... a movie she's shooting with Ethan Hawke.

Watson, who graduated from Brown University last weekend, is clearly the most likely to succeed.

Charlie Sheen is gonna make "Major League" fans and baseball collectors lose their minds -- he's slapped his autograph on a limited number of baseball cards to mark the awesome movie's 25th anniversary ... TMZ Sports has learned.

You may have heard ... Topps just released a series of cards with the main characters -- featuring Charlie, Tom Berenger, and Corbin Bernsen -- but our sources gave us the scoop ... some of the rare cards are actually signed by the stars.

For instance, we're told Charlie -- aka Ricky "Wild Thing" Vaughn -- sat down and hand signed 99 of 'em (as in his jersey #) with his name, quotes from the movie and/or special Charlie-isms (think "Winning!").

Berenger, Bernsen, and Chelcie Ross (pitcher Eddie Harris) did the same, but we're told they autographed a ton more than 99 -- which makes Charlie's signature the rarest of the collection.

Good luck scoring one though ... 'cause these things are like Willy Wonka's golden tickets.

We're told only 1 out of every 60 packs of Topps Archives Baseball cards will contain a single "Major League" Ricky Vaughn card -- and it'll be even rarer to find an autographed one.

Translation -- when it comes to scoring a Charlie card most collectors will be ... "Juuuust a bit outside."

The guy who attacked Brad Pitt on the red carpet last night violated a cardinal rule of fighting -- never hit a guy with glasses ... especially when he's surrounded by a team of security goons.

TMZ broke the story ... Ukrainian troublemaker Vitalii Sediuk lunged at Pitt at the "Maleficent" premiere ... hitting him in the face and breaking the designer sunglasses he was wearing. Sediuk was immediately subdued ... and hauled off to jail.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... Brad wasn't hurt in the attack -- just stunned -- but a temporary emergency restraining order is now in place ... ordering Sediuk to stay at least 500 feet way from Pitt for the next 5 days.

We're told the case has been sent to the L.A. City Attorney for possible prosecution.

Brad Pitt was the target of a crazed man who jumped a barrier and made contact with the actor while he walked a red carpet..

Pitt was at the El Capitan theater in Hollywood for the premiere of wife Angelina Jolie's new Disney flick "Maleficent" ... when a man suddenly jumped the fence and ran up to the actor while he was walking down the red carpet.

We're told the man actually made contact with Pitt's face before being nabbed by cops. It's unclear what the man's intentions were.

Law enforcement sources tell us the man was arrested by LAPD and booked for misdemeanor battery.

9:45 PM PT -- The whacked out fan turned out to be the moron Ukranian reporter, Vitalii Sediuk, who also got slapped for trying to kiss Will Smith, was arrested after he crashed the Grammys, and once got a face full of Leonardo DiCaprio's crotch. 

Emma Watson was the safest student to receive her degree from Brown University on Sunday ... because she had her own armed security guard with her in the audience!

Watson was among 2,000 students to graduate this weekend, but we're guessing she was the only one who employed private security ... cleverly disguised in her own cap and gown.

Expecto Patronum only gets you so far.

The Isla Vista massacre is another example of how people romanticize violence ... this according to Matthew Modine.

Modine -- who starred in violent movies like "Full Metal Jacket" and "The Dark Knight Rises" -- got into a deep conversation with our photog in Venice on Memorial Day ... saying society's obsession with guns and violence goes back way too far to pin the blame on Hollywood.

Whitney Houston's family is PISSED that Lifetime is making a movie about her life ... because they feel Whitney is too big for the small screen.

Lifetime made the announcement earlier this week ... they're planning on a biopic for 2015, with Angela Bassett making her directorial debut.

According to our sources, the Houston estate is so upset they're considering a lawsuit to block production. We're told the family has already expressed displeasure to Lifetime and made it clear they weren't on board with a TV movie.

Sources close to the Houston family tell us the estate is planning its own movie for the big screen -- ala the "This is It'" Michael Jackson flick.

Pat Houston, wouldn't get specific with us but did say, "Whitney is certainly worthy of more than a television movie. If Whitney were here today, this would not be happening."

Lifetime had no comment.

Comedian Luenell Campbell was on a flight from hell this week after a guy flipped out and started speaking in tongues ... so of course, the "Borat" star rolled on the whole crazy scene.

The mid-flight scare went down Thursday afternoon on a flight from L.A. to Miami ... when the man started screaming from the back of the plane and flailing around.

After a few minutes of yelling, Luenell tells us the passenger threw up on the person next to him ... and that's when the air marshal and a civilian passenger sprung into action.

In the video ... you hear the guy wailing and blabbing incoherently while 2 men hold him down. You also get a little commentary from Luenell --- who doesn't seem to concerned with the sitch.

This is shocking ... not a single black woman cracked the top 10 on the just released Maxim Hot 100 List.

Rihanna didn't make the cut. Ditto Lupita Nyong'o. Same for Beyonce.

Eight of the top ten are white -- Candice Swanepoel, Scarlett Johansson, Katy Perry, Zooey

Rihanna just missed at #11. Beyonce didn't even crack the top 20, coming in at 21.
