No one wants the “Goosebumps” movie to blow up a la "Hunger Games" ... more than its young stars Dylan Minnette and Odeya Rush because their bank accounts will be overflowing if it does.

TMZ obtained copies of the contracts the now 18-year-olds signed when they were minors, and the serious money comes if there are 2 more "Goosebumps" flicks.

Here's the breakdown -- Dylan is making $150k for the first movie, and Odeya's getting $200k. Nothing to sneeze at ... until you see their sequel deals. Dylan bumps to $300k for #2, and then $600k for #3. Odeya's salary also doubles each time to $400k and $800k.

And that's just their base money. Bonus wise, Dylan could make an additional $675k based on box office, while Odeya could take home up to $2.6 MILLION extra!!

Bottom line -- before they turn 30, these kids could have more cash than most people make all their lives.

Mary Ellen Trainor, best known for her role as the psychologist in the “Lethal Weapon” films, died from pancreatic cancer at her home in Montecito, Calif. last month. She was 62.

Trainor was married to director Robert Zemeckis for 20 years and appeared in several of his films … including “Romancing the Stone” and “Forrest Gump.” They divorced in 2000.

Her other notable roles were as Mrs. Walsh in “The Goonies,” as well as small roles in “Scrooged,” “Die Hard," "Back to the Future Part II" and "Ghostbusters II." She also had a recurring role on the TV show "Roswell."

Three weeks after he fell off the wagon ... Jonathan Rhys Meyers emerged Monday in London looking like the new man he promised he'd be.

Meyers was clean-shaven and very well put together as he strolled the streets during a shopping trip. The 'Tudors' star admitted to and apologized for a relapse last month, calling it "just a blip" in his recovery.

As TMZ previously reported, Meyers just wrapped a movie, "Damascus Cover," where we're told he delivered a great performance.

Think of the last place you'd expect to see Jamie Foxx getting turnt -- and you still wouldn't guess Whitefish, Montana ... but that IS where he made a surprise performance.

Jamie ruled the crowd at Casey's bar in the tiny mountain town on Saturday night ... jumping on stage after dinner with the owner of the establishment.

Jamie kept the audience participation part of the night simple -- I say Whitefish, you say Montana!

Whitefish is a favorite getaway spot for Hollywood celebs -- and Knicks Pres. Phil Jackson calls it home -- but fair to say the 7,000 residents have never heard anyone yell, "Put it in your mouth! I got these bitches screaming Django in the house!"

Not on stage, anyway.

Reese Witherspoon had Walmart shareholders eating out of the palm of her hand ... and all it took was 2 simple moves -- bend and snap!

Reese uncorked her signature move from "Legally Blonde" on Friday at Walmart's annual meeting in Arkansas, and it wasn't enough for her to do it alone. You gotta see the poor Walmart employee -- who we'll just say isn't nearly as flexible as Reese.

While Mariah Carey, Rod Stewart, Carol Burnett and Ricky Martin also attended -- we're pretty sure none of them attempted the move.

Well, most of them.

Nia Long might NEVER want the San Antonio Spurs to win another ring ... telling TMZ Sports she sometimes roots for her fiance's team to lose in the postseason ... so he can come home.

Nia's fiance' is former Spurs stud -- and current assistant coach -- Ime Udoka and when we got the two out on date night earlier this week we had to ask if she was secretly excited when the Spurs got knocked out of the NBA playoffs.

Check out the clip -- Nia keeps it all the way real -- maybe too real for Spurs fans -- before dialing it back a little so she's actually allowed back in south Texas.

This could be our best Jackie Chan clip ever ... because it's all about Jackie's favorite Chinese things -- and it's all spoken in authentic Chinese! Yeah, those Rosetta Stone tapes do wonders.

Actually, we spotted Jackie during a TMZ Hollywood Tour ... and lucky for us (and you) the guide was Valerie -- who speaks Chinese. She got the chance to bust it out with Jackie during this chat in Bev Hills.

Check it out , Jackie seems pleasantly surprised to make the Chinese connection.

Nichelle Nichols -- best known for playing Lieutenant Uhura in "Star Trek" -- was rushed to a hospital Wednesday night after suffering a mild stroke.

A rep for Nichols tells TMZ ... she's awake and resting comfortably at an L.A. hospital. The 82-year-old was taken by ambulance from her home Wednesday night.

Doctors are conducting tests to determine the severity of the stroke.

Nichols appeared on both the "Star Trek" TV show and six of the movies, the last one being "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country."

Via her Facebook page, a rep for Nichols said her CAT scan came back negative and they are awaiting the results of her MRI. The rep added, "Currently she is awake, eating, in good spirits and able to have full conversations. Her right side has shown minor signs or mobility loss but she is not showing any signs of paralyses."

Bruce Lee vs. Jackie Chan ... it would've been more of a MAULING than a fight, so says Chan who tells TMZ Sports -- there's NO DOUBT Bruce was the superior fighter.

The two actually came face to face on the set of the '73 flick "Enter the Dragon" -- but that beatdown was scripted.

But when Chan hit the streets of Beverly Hills again Wednesday, he told us a real rumble would've gone exactly the same way.

There's more ... Chan also updates us with the status of "Rush Hour 4" ... and tells us that when it comes to doing his own stunts, he's toning it WAYYYYY down.

As Jackie put it, "I'm not young anymore."

You know when people tell you to "push it" in the gym?

Jeremy Piven is a full service star ... he stars in movies, and then screens them with his fans and buys them all popcorn.

Jeremy was at The Grove Wednesday night, grabbing some dinner before catching a showing of "Entourage." We suggested free popcorn would be a good idea and he wholeheartedly agreed.

Thing is ... Jeremy made good on his promise, which blew moviegoers away.

"Entourage" and TMZ have partnered on the release of the movie, and we had an idea ... let's get a celebrity to do an Ari Gold rant.

We asked a bunch of celebs to try their mouth at Jeremy Piven's famous, brash character, and Tyrese came through in a big way.

He sent us his version ... which is shot like a movie. The scene ... Tyrese is in the middle of a meeting, discussing his album #BlackRose which is coming out July 10th, when an intern shows up with grub.

Suge Knight is being sued for running over Terry Carter in a burger parking lot, and Dr. Dre and Ice Cube have also been named as defendants.

Carter's wife and kids have filed the lawsuit -- obtained by TMZ -- claiming Dr. Dre and Ice Cube -- both producers of "Straight Outta Compton" -- hired known gang members to provide security for location shoots in gang-infested neighborhoods.

The suit claims some of the gang members incited the fight and threatened Suge, leading to his decision to roar back through the parking lot in a panic, running over and killing Carter.

The Carter family is also suing Tam's Burgers, claiming violent crimes regularly go down in that parking lot so the burger joint should have had security.

The suit seeks unspecified damages.

"San Andreas" is a disaster movie of epic proportions and has turned into a godsend for an earthquake preparedness company.

The blockbuster flick has freaked out hordes of moviegoers ... good news for EarthquakeStore.com, which has seen a 300% spike in disaster kit sales.

Among the bestsellers:

-- Quake Alarm – a $34.95 glorified fire detector that picks up a quake's sound wave before the main shock.

-- Deluxe Emergency Preparedness Kit – For $250, you get a duffel bag for two which includes - sleeping bags, emergency food bars, orange safety vests, a folding hand saw, candles, fire starter sticks, water purification kit …and everything else you'd pack for a weekend camping trip.

The company raked in $100,000 off the kits in the past two weeks alone.

Better hurry. They say the first 24-72 hours following a disaster are crucial ... and everyone knows ... the BIG ONE is coming!!!

He's a martial arts expert ... but Jackie Chan says he's NEVER heard of MMA superstar Ronda Rousey.

Weird, considering Chan is also an action film buff ... and Ronda's been blowing up with roles in "The Expendables 3" and "Furious 7."

In fact, when Chan was cruisin' through Beverly Hills yesterday -- he told us he's still making MORE action flicks ... including "Rush Hour 4" -- and was having dinner with Chris Tucker to talk about the project.

Steph Curry isn't the only NBA superstar taking on LeBron this week ... 'cause Paul George tells TMZ Sports that he might wanna slide into "Space Jam 2" even though it's a role that was fit for the King.

George was out in L.A. recently when we asked about his favorite basketball movies ... and whether or not he'd ever want to step onto the silver screen.

Check out the clip -- George says the one film that might get him to flex his acting skills is "Space Jam 2" -- a flick that's been rumored to be in development for a couple of years now, with LeBron supposedly in the lead role.
