There is a new, tall, dark and handsome fella in Jennifer Lawrence's life -- her bodyguard Greg, and there is no bag nor dog safe from his tight, muscular grasp.

The Oscar winner's been putting him to real good use ... he's been spotted on various manny duties like lugging around her dog Pippi and purses ... like a true Navy SEAL.

Former action star Ernie Reyes Jr. -- who famously played Keno in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II" -- is "fighting for his life" after suffering from kidney failure ... this according to his family.

Reyes Jr. was huge back in the day -- starring as Tai in "The Last Dragon," Prince Tarn in "Red Sonja" ... and he was the main character in "Surf Ninjas."

He later transitioned into MMA -- and went 3-0 in Strikeforce.

Now, 43-year-old Reyes Jr. is hoping for a kidney transplant after his own began to fail back in March. Since then, he's been in and out of the hospital in Texas ... and his eyesight is failing.

Ernie's sister tells TMZ Sports ... Reyes is in the process of getting on a transplant list -- but in the meantime, he's been receiving dialysis treatments 3 times per week.

We're told the family has set up a fundraising page to help with medical bills and several folks from his films and TV shows -- like stunt coordinator pals James Lew from "Rush Hour 2" and Andy Cheng from “The Rundown” -- have pitched in.

Get well soon, man.

All the fan sites pegged Common as playing Black Manta in the upcoming "Suicide Squad" movie -- 'cause, well ... y'know -- but now that we've seen him on set that doesn't appear to be the case.

Our first glimpse of the rapper/actor in full costume actually has him looking more like Abel Tarrant ... aka The Tattooed Man.

As DC legend has it ... The Tattooed Man is the Green Lantern's archenemy, and has the ability to turn his tattoos into weapons (duh!).

Sir Christopher Lee -- who starred in some of the most famous and fantastic film franchises of all-time -- died in London. He was 93.

Lee had been hospitalized for respiratory problems and heart failure, says The Guardian.

Lee played Saruman in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and "The Hobbit" films. He also appeared in two of the "Star Wars" prequels and played Count Dracula in a couple of flicks.

He married his wife Birgit in 1961 and the couple had one daughter together.

He died Sunday.

'Cause fighting dinos in “Jurrassic World” and possibly being the new Indiana Jones wasn't enough -- Chris Pratt decided to try his hand at singing WITH Jimmy Buffett!

And the reviews are in -- not only can he sing "so good" ... he also looks "so good." Pratt’s not bad either.

It looks like the worst drug smuggling scheme ever on film -- 'cause a guy got busted for transporting mounds of coke inside film canisters ... in a plot way thinner than anything you saw in "Blow."

Newark Airport customs agents grew suspicious after finding 36 film tins inside his luggage – and unless he was shooting 'Godfather 4' ... that was the first hint something was up.

Agents found disks filled with the coco tucked inside the film strips. Total haul -- 10 lbs. with an estimated street value of $177,000.

As for the other hints -- well, the flight was arriving from ... COLOMBIA!! Oh, and the alleged smuggler's last name is Espinosa.

Sorry, but if your name is Andres Filipe Alean Espinosa, and you're flying in from Colombia with 36 film tins ... you're probably getting a secondary search.

Chris Pratt is living the life -- he's got "Jurassic World" opening this weekend (which is sure to be huge) and now he can say he's performed with the one and only ... Jimmy Buffett.

Buffett was on stage Tuesday night at the "Jurassic World" premiere party in Hollywood ... and when it was time for "Margaritaville" ... Pratt just couldn't resist Jimmy's invite to join in.

Pratt's musical proclivities are no secret ... he's rocked out numerous times on "Parks and Recreation" and who could forget his legendary Eminem rendition?!

It's good to be Chris Pratt.

Danny Trejo emerged unscathed from a gnarly looking car crash Tuesday afternoon -- and he's blaming a little old lady for causing the wreck.

Trejo tells TMZ he was driving in Chatsworth, just north of L.A., when a woman (he's guessing around 70 years old) made an illegal left turn in front of him. DT's sweet ride -- a Caddy El Dorado -- crashed into her car, and she ended up getting the worst of it.

Trejo, who is 71-years-old himself ... says there's little damage to his car, but hers got torn up. More importantly to the "Machete Kills" star ... he says no one was injured, they exchanged info, and went about their way.

Trejo was in such good spirits after the crash, he posed with paramedics and police.

A drone caught Johnny Depp starboard and in character on the shores of Australia, where he's filming the 5th 'Pirates of the Caribbean' -- but his get-up didn't exactly match the rescue boat.

All hands on the production deck got a kick out of the quadcopter -- especially Captain Jack Sparrow. The drone eventually flew off ... but not before flying over Cap'n Sparrow's real ship.

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.
