John Singleton's mom claims one of his baby mamas did nothing to help him the night before he died, despite the fact he was throwing up blood and showing signs something was seriously wrong.

Sheila Ward says when John got home the night before he died, his baby mama, Rayvon Jones, met him with, "No open arms just crossed defiant fists." She says some type of argument then started between them.

Sheila claims John then took a bath with his infant son, Seven, but his body began to tremor -- showing serious signs of distress -- and he was almost too weak to get himself out of the tub. He also allegedly threw up blood.

Rather than call 911, Sheila says Rayvon simply put John to bed. His mother says she's haunted by that thought and says, "I can't stop thinking about this truth. Can't blame them. Don't blame them. I feel so sorry for them because they must live with it."

Rayvon tells us John did complain of being sick that night, saying he thought it was food poisoning, but she never saw him throw up, and didn't think it was anything serious. She says she told him to run the bath, to relax and to drink some tea.

Marvel is now in the crosshairs of a boycott over support for Donald Trump ... at least that's what Armie Hammer seems to want.

Armie just said, "Hey, while everyone seems to be on this Equinox thing, it might be a good time to mention that one of Trump's largest financial contributors is the chairman of Marvel Entertainment (Isaac Perlmutter) ... jussayin."

As you know, there's a big boycott afoot targeting Equinox, because the owner Stephen Ross is throwing a fundraiser Friday night for Trump. He's also contributed big money to DT.

Now, Armie's calling out Marvel, because its CEO Perlmutter is a huge financial backer of all things Trump. He contributed $1 million in 2016 to a Trump veterans fundraiser, and this year he contributed more than $500k to the RNC and the Trump re-election campaign.

If Hammer's call to action takes hold, it could have cataclysmic consequences for Stan Lee's creation. Marvel just announced its new slate of films and TV projects at Comic-Con, including "Black Widow," "The Eternals," "Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness," "Thor: Love and Thunder."

Those moves follow the enormous success of "Avengers: End Game," which broke all box office records and has to date corralled $2.8 BILLION.

And, get this ... most Marvel movies and TV shows shoot at Pinewood Studios in Atlanta, which is co-owned by Dan Cathy, the CEO of Chick-fil-A. So, it's kinda a three strikes thing.

Cameron Diaz here, checking in from the South of France to show you what it's like to quit your day job -- and it's working for her and her husband!!!

The actress-turned-semi-retiree and Benji Madden are living it up in St. Tropez where they made a huge splash together, literally. The couple took a dive off a luxury yacht and into the crystal clear blue waters. They hopped on what looks like a couple of motorized body boards and also did a little paddleboarding.

The couple's hanging with friends for a picture perfect vacay most of us would kill to take. Then again, most of us would also kill to quit our day jobs, which Cameron actually did. She's still making a splash -- though now it's a literal one -- after announcing she's done with acting ... for now.

Cam recently told InStyle, "The way I look at it is that I’ve given more than half of my life to the public. I feel it’s OK for me to take time for myself now to reorganize and choose how I want to come [back] into the world."

Stuntman Jery Hewitt is best known for playing the colorful leader of the bat-swinging baseball gang -- who are taken down by Snow, Ajax and Cowboy -- in the iconic 1979 fight film, "The Warriors."

Jery was cast alongside David Patrick Kelly as Cyrus' shooter, Luther (who delivers the epic "Warriors, come out to play" line), Michael Beck as the Warriors leader, Swan ... and Deborah Van Valkenburgh as the damsel, Mercy.

Since his role in the action classic Jery Hewitt has stayed behind the lens as a stunt coordinator in a ton of shows including "Law & Order," "The Sopranos," "New Amsterdam" and "The OA."

Tony Cox -- who starred alongside Billy Bob Thornton as his elf sidekick in the 'Bad Santa' films -- just delivered a terrible gift to an unlucky kid ... a foot injury and a busted up bike.

The veteran actor struck the boy on his bike Thursday in L.A. as he was turning right onto a street, while the kid was cruising through the crosswalk. As you can see ... the collision resulted in the bicycle's front tire getting pinned under Tony's ride.

We're told the kid suffered an injury to his foot as he was knocked off his Schwinn ... but was alert and conscious after the accident. EMTs arrived shortly afterward and he was taken to the hospital ... thank God he was wearing a helmet.

We've placed a call in with the LAPD who says they're still investigating the incident.

Cox started his career in 1980s in films like "Spaceballs" and "Dr. Heckyl and Mr. Hype." He's also been in "My, Myself & Irene" with Jim Carrey.

Leonardo DiCaprio doesn't need a flamethrower -- like he did in his latest role -- while yachting with his GF, because there's plenty of heat on board ... and we ain't talking about the hot tub water temp.

The "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" star and model/actress Camila Morrone were very cozy on the top deck of their luxury yacht in Positano, Italy. The couple's enjoying some R&R in the hot tub now that Leo's completed all his media duties leading up to his latest big screen release.

After you're done checking out Leo's alleged "dad bod" and Camila's flawless curves in a white one-piece ... check out where the hot tub's situated in this mega-yacht. The layout begs the question ... does Leo's ride beat Kylie's birthday luxury yacht? Debatable.

Anyway, Leo and Camila -- who've been together for about 18 months now -- do have some company with them, but the hot tub looks to be a couples only zone.

The Empire is striking back again, but not in a galaxy far, far away ... Darth Vader's in action high above the Clifton Suspension Bridge in the UK.

The hot air balloon is repping the Dark Side on the first day of the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta in Bristol, England. The event is Europe's largest annual gathering of the big-ass gasbags, attracting more than 130 hot air balloons from around the world.

Clearly, Vader stands out among the pack ... and has us clamoring for many more 'Star Wars'-themed balloons to battle it out in the sky.

It looks like that's not going to happen, though ... so we'll settle for the other cool hot air balloons in the shape of bears, owls, and koalas.

But, we all know who their father is ... and Mark Hamill agrees.

Krysten Ritter's a proud new mom after giving birth to a baby boy, and she gave him a name fit for a superhero ... or a rock star.

According to the birth certificate -- obtained by TMZ -- the "Jessica Jones" star's firstborn child's name is Bruce, and the little guy has 2 middle names ... Julian Knight.

The baby's father is Ritter's longtime boyfriend, The War on Drugs' frontman, Adam Granduciel ... whose real last name is Granofsky. So, their son's full name is Bruce Julian Knight Granofsky.

As for the little guy's name ... it could be related to Ritter's Marvel Comics connection. Jessica Jones is a Marvel character much like The Hulk -- aka Bruce Banner -- but that's clearly rank comic book fanboy speculation on our part.

Or, maybe she and her baby daddy are fans of DC Comics hero Bruce "The Batman" Wayne? Yeah, we're stretching.

More likely is the fact Krysten's a big Bruce Springsteen fan. Sometimes it's just the simplest option.

According to his birth certificate, Lil Boss (that's officially his nickname now) arrived July 29 at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Ritter first revealed she was pregnant in February, and showed off her baby bump at a premiere event for season 3 of 'JJ.'

Congrats!!!

Meghan Trainor and Daryl Sabara WANT IN on the remake craze, telling us they're super down to reboot his breakout role ... with a twist.

We got Meghan and her husband Wednesday in New York City ... and because everyone is freaking out about Disney re-imagining "Home Alone," our guy gauged the couple's interest in bringing back to life another movie about kick-ass kids.

Meghan's crossing her fingers the franchise gets the green light for new installments ... telling us she would absolutely LOVE to join the cast alongside her hubby.

Daryl, who starred in the OG version way back in 2001, is super down too, and explains why Meghan would have to get a role this time around. He also has some ideas about what has to be different.

Serious question: We can't still call Daryl a spy KID, 18 years later, right?

Macaulay Culkin's joining the chorus of fans roasting Disney for its plan to reboot the classic "Home Alone" franchise ... with a harsh and hilarious reality check.

The OG Kevin McCallister just shared a photo on his Instagram of himself looking bloated and disheveled in his undies ... sitting on an old couch, plate of food in hand, Chinese takeout strewn about and laptop on his lap.

Or, in his own words ... representing what an updated "Home Alone" would actually look like.

Macaulay's had a pretty good sense of humor about reprising his iconic Christmas movie role that launched him into superstardom way back in 1990 ... including this ad for Google this past holiday season.

Clearly, he couldn't resist another parody ... and even kept a touch of the holiday spirit with that snowman pillow in the background.

In case you missed it ... Disney's CEO Bob Iger announced Tuesday the company's plan to reboot several famous Fox franchises it recently acquired. Along with Culkin's smash hit, Iger says it's rebooting "Cheaper by the Dozen," "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" and "Night at the Museum."

It was probably inevitable, but to many fans it's a terrible idea, and can best be described with the same word Kevin used for Buzz's girlfriend -- Woof!!!

Dave Bautista is PISSED -- claiming he was denied entry into a New Mexico movie theater because he arrived a few minutes late ... a violation of the place's strict no late arrival policy.

The "Guardians of the Galaxy" star hit up the Flix Brewhouse in Albuquerque ... a movie theater and brewery all in one. The place also has a policy DENYING entry to ticket holders if they arrive late to their scheduled movie.

Bautista bought tickets to a 3:15 PM showing of "Once Upon a Time In Hollywood" -- but arrived to the theater at 3:30 and was subsequently turned away. Dave claims the feature hadn't started playing when he arrived, they were still showing trailers for other flicks.

Bautista called the place out on social media ... saying, "Worse experience at a novie theater in my life. Yourr manager Tiffany needs some serious help with her people skills. You’re welcome for taking pictures with all your customers while Tiffany was treating me & @OmariHardwick just like 💩 #badbusiness"

The Flix Brewhouse responded to Dave ... saying, "We do try to protect the movie experience for our guests which is why we don't allow late arrivals. We'd welcome the opportunity to chat with you and try to make it right."

Bautista responded again ... "Policies are policies but how about treating people with some sense of courtesy!"

BUT THERE'S A TWIST -- Dave suggested the reason he was late was because he was taking pictures with fans in the lobby who recognized him.

"Maybe you can protect your guests novie experience by not allowing a photo session in your lobby while being turned away for being a minute late from the theater doors closing. I didn’t mind because I like to treat people with courtesy. But that’s just me."

Seems like a pretty valid excuse ... and guess what -- the movie theater agreed!!!

"You’re right, we could have done better. We’d like to make it right now. Is there a way we can follow up directly to do that?"

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson are proving old flames die hard ... especially when ice cream's involved.

The Coldplay frontman and 'Fifty Shades' star -- decked out in a red jumpsuit -- were out Monday in the Hamptons, hanging with his son and his buds. They plopped themselves on a picnic table and enjoyed lunch before scarfing down some ice cream.

It's quite the family scene, considering Dakota and Chris had supposedly broken up a couple months ago. All signs pointed to a split ... because a week after their reported breakup, he was seen hopping on a helicopter with a mystery woman.

Courtney Stodden is paying tribute to one of her heroes, Marilyn Monroe, with a pilgrimage to the late Hollywood icon's final resting site ... and she was decked out as MM.

The reality TV star was seen Monday heading to Marilyn's crypt at the Westwood Village Memorial Park in L.A. -- where she shares a wall with some very famous people, including Hugh Hefner. The area surrounding Marilyn's crypt was laced with flowers.

As for Courtney, she wore an extra-wide brim hat for the occasion, which was clearly a callback to one of Marilyn's many looks through the years.

Marilyn rocked a similar hat in her 1957 movie "The Prince and the Showgirl" -- and considering how much Courtney admires her, we wouldn't be surprised if this is a nod.

What's interesting is that Courtney seems to do this semi-frequently -- she also paid a visit to Marilyn's crypt in 2016 and left a letter at the time that read in part, "If I could bring you back for just one day, I'd tell you how much you're missed."

She wore a very Marilyn-esque gown for that visit as well.

The cemetery is an L.A. landmark, and Marilyn's crypt is the undisputed highlight. Others who made the cemetery their final resting place include Farrah Fawcett, Dean Martin, Armand Hammer, Natalie Wood, Rodney Dangerfield, Donna Reed, Don Knotts and on and on.

Marilyn's ex-husband, Joe DiMaggio, arranged for flowers to be left at her crypt twice a week over the course of two decades. Seems the tradition has continued.

Marilyn would've been 93 years old if she were alive today. She died of an overdose on Aug. 5, 1962 -- and although it was ruled a probable suicide, many suspected foul play due to her affair with JFK, who was assassinated the following year.

"Them That Follow" -- the new thriller about scary snakes and a religious family that handles them to prove themselves to God -- had a tragedy on set when a bird died in the hands of one of the stars ... and the cameras were rolling.

Footage from the movie set -- obtained by TMZ -- shows actress Alice Englert with a quail in her hands right after the moment she realizes something is horribly wrong with the bird.

It sounds like Alice says, "Oh my god, this is so f****d" as she hands the bird to its handler ... and becomes increasingly distressed as she processes what happened.

Englert then asks, "Is it dead?" ... and begins to sob as she gets confirmation.

Producers from the movie have confirmed with TMZ the animal died, but tell us nobody knows why. They insist it was not mistreated or mishandled in any way.

The producers add ... "We hired top animal wranglers and working professionals in the business ... we take full responsibly and deeply regret this isolated incident."

We're told in the scene, Englert's character pretends to feed a quail to a snake. You see couple of snakes in cages just off to the right of Alice.

The bird wrangler on set tells TMZ, "We are ultimate professionals and care about each and every animal we handle. The overriding theme of our educational program is the importance of all animals. No one of the cast or crew did anything to affect this sad event."

There's something strange in this neighborhood ... because the iconic 'Ghostbusters' car just rolled up in Canada!!!

We've gotten our hands on some super cool pics from the set of the upcoming "Ghostbusters 2020" movie ... the famous Ghostbusters Ecto-1 car was spotted Thursday on the streets of Alberta, where filming is in full swing.

The new 'Ghostbusters' have been shooting scenes in the small town of Crossfield ... and our sources say most of the filming is going down at a school and a Chinese restaurant downtown. Never know where ghosts are gonna pop up!

Seems the 'Ghostbusters' have a great mechanic ... the Ecto-1 has been helping them investigate and capture ghosts since the first flick came out way back in 1984!

Paul Rudd, Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard and Carrie Coon are starring in the franchise's latest installment, which is a direct sequel to the OG movie and 1989's "Ghostbusters II." We know what your're thinking, and it's a no. No Bill Murray sightings yet, as he's rumored to make a return.

Boston born Eliza Dushku shot to the top of the Hollywood human pyramid as the Rancho Carne high school cheerleader, Missy Pantone -- who spots the routine rip-offs -- in the spirited 2000 film, "Bring It On."

Eliza Dushku had some serious squad goals on the fun flick ... Dushku was cast alongside stars like Kristen Dunst as the Toros' leader, Torrance Shipman, Jesse Bradford as Missy's dreamboat brother, Cliff Pantone and, of course, Gabrielle Union as the Clover's cross-town captain, Isis.

Eliza went on to be in other big-screen bangers like "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back," "The New Guy" and "Wrong Turn."
