Gwyneth Paltrow faced her demon head-on, and she's not hiding after publicly blasting Harvey Weinstein for sexually harassing her.

Gwyneth was out Thursday in Santa Monica, heading to a meeting. It's the first time we've seen her since she accused Weinstein of getting sexually aggressive with her in the mid-'90s when she was 22.

Harvey Weinstein had what looked like just another night out with friends Thursday, which could not be further from the truth ... because he was with his team of doctors.

Weinstein had dinner at Uncle Sal's restaurant in Scottsdale, AZ ... what we're told will be his last supper before checking into a nearby rehab facility. The restaurant is in a strip mall 15 minutes from the Phoenician Resort, where he checked in Wednesday night after flying from L.A.

The fallen mogul broke bread with 3 guys and a woman -- who we're told are part of his medical team -- and eyewitnesses say you would never know Weinstein was in the eye of a ferocious storm. One witness said, "He was acting normal, fine, like he didn't have a care."

He clearly has a care. As we reported, his daughter called 911 Wednesday, saying her dad was suicidal and upset, although when cops arrived she took it back and said they were just having an argument.

Rose McGowan is wasting no time -- shortly after getting back on Twitter she launched an attack on Jeff Bezos and Amazon Studios ... but it's still all about Harvey Weinstein.

Rose posted a pic of a female samurai with the caption "it's on" ... then lit into Bezos over a blown script deal and Weinstein. Rose claims she told the head of Amazon Studios Weinstein had sexually assaulted her.

She also hints Bezos and Amazon were going to sell her script to The Weinstein Co. -- or as she put it ... "a Weinstein bailout" -- which would clearly piss her off.

There's a lot more, but Rose's bottom-line is she wants Bezos to "stop funding rapists, alleged pedos and sexual harassers."

As we reported, Twitter blocked Rose's account after she posted someone's phone number ... but she's not backing down from her public attacks on Hollywood power players.

Harvey Weinstein's private flight to an Arizona rehab facility was diverted at the last minute, and he touched down in a different city than originally planned ... TMZ has learned.

Weinstein is now getting treatment somewhere in the Scottsdale area ... according to well-connected sources. As we reported, the private jet that took off from L.A. Wednesday evening was scheduled to touch down in Wickenburg, AZ ... near The Meadows rehab center.

Ben Affleck did NOTHING wrong by holding and caressing a TV host in 2004, 'cause it was nothing but a gag for cameras ... according to the woman herself.

We spoke to Anne-Marie Losique -- who was aggressively snuggled by Ben in the interview that surfaced amid the Harvey Weinstein scandal -- and she has zero gripes. She's aware many people see it as inappropriate, but stresses all of the heavy flirting ONLY happened on camera.

She says it was a thing she and Ben always did when she interviewed him. Anne-Marie adds ... when the camera was off, Ben was totally professional.

As we reported ... Ben apologized Wednesday to ex-'TRL' host Hilarie Burton for groping her breast in 2003. He's said nothing about the Anne-Marie clip, and based on everything she says ... there's no reason for him to do so.

Harvey Weinstein pled his case for getting a second chance in Hollywood on his way out of town -- but he also seemed to take a parting shot at the celebs who've been bashing him.

Weinstein left his daughter's L.A. home shortly after 3 PM Wednesday, and directed the paparazzi as if he were on the set of one of his Oscar-winning movies. It might be his last film for a while -- Weinstein made it clear he's not in a good place, begged for a second chance and admitted, "I gotta get help, guys."

TMZ broke the story ... Weinstein's now getting that help. He took off on a private jet Wednesday evening, bound for an Arizona treatment facility.

Interestingly, in this video he's leaving his daughter Remy's home ... the same place police responded earlier in the day when she called 911, and said her father was "suicidal and depressed."

As Weinstein bolted for the airport, he told photogs he was "not like those f**king pricks who treat you like s**t." Watch ... sure sounds like he's referring to Hollywood's A-list, many of whom have condemned him over the last 48 hours.

Grudge much?

8:40 AM PT -- McGowan's Twitter has now been unlocked.

Twitter's chief spokesperson tells us her account was temporarily locked because one of her tweets included a private phone number, which violates its Terms of Service. McGowan's account was unlocked once the tweet was removed.

The spokesperson added ... "Twitter is proud to empower and support the voices on our platform, especially those that speak truth to power. We stand with the brave women and men who use Twitter to share their stories."

Rose McGowan has been booted from Twitter for tweets attacking Ben Affleck and Harvey Weinstein.

Rose went wild on Twitter, telling Affleck to "f*** off," and going after the honchos at The Weinstein Co., saying, "Every man there has the blood of sorrow on their hands." She says Bob Weinstein, Harvey's brother, "is a POS."

And Matt Damon wasn't spared ... Rose tweeted, "What's it like to be a spineless profiteer who stays silent?"

And Harvey Weinstein was in Rose's sights ... after the New Yorker tweeted the police audio of Harvey's conversations with Ambra Gutierrez, Rose tweeted, "Now imagine his huge size, its monster face/body closing in on you. In one second your life path is not yours. You have been stolen."

And of her own encounter Rose posted a pic of herself and tweeted, "This is the girl that was hurt by a monster. This is who you are shaming with your silence."

Tyrese's doing everything he can to prove The Rock is a piece of s*** ... by posting a 2015 video of The Rock calling his album "dog s***."

The singer posted this video on Instagram Wednesday in which The Rock UNLOADS tons of crap on Tyrese's album, "Black Rose." The 2-year-old video and recent post is just the latest in the insane Tyrese-Rock feud over accusations Rock's a selfish co-star.

Watch ... Rock says he just finished listening to the album and says it's a "big piece of black dog s***" before walking away and calling him a motherf*****.

It reeks of sarcasm, but you never know with these two.

Jay-Z is talking with his team about buying Harvey Weinstein's interest in The Weinstein Company ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources connected to Jay tell us ... Jay, along with several other investors including a famous movie producer and a billionaire, are talking about purchasing Weinstein's 23% interest in the company.

Jay has had a working relationship with TWC and Harvey ... he has a deal in which he has produced a movie, "The Kalief Browder Story." He has also a Trayvon Martin miniseries slated for production. Jay has a first-look film deal with the company.

Our sources say Jay wants his relationship with the company to continue and grow, and since Harvey is out he's looking at acquiring a substantial equity stake in the company.

Check out Jay and Harvey at the Sundance Film Festival this past January.

The Weinstein Company is already feeling the heat ... a major film financier has pulled the plug on a massive loan because Harvey's no longer steering the ship.

AI International Holdings fronted a $45 million loan to TWC last year. We've learned AI sent a letter to TWC and their lawyers at O'Melveny & Myers Tuesday, demanding that the money be returned pronto.

AI says in its letter, "The dismissal of Harvey Weinstein from his position as co-chairman" constitutes a "material adverse change" ... allowing them to demand immediate repayment of the loan.

AI's film division has financed some major movies, including "Lee Daniels' The Butler," "Hacksaw Ridge," and the soon-to-be released Miramax film, "I, Tonya."

This underscores the dilemma for TWC ... it was all Harvey, and now that he's gone it's unclear how they will continue to do business. TMZ broke the story, Harvey is in settlement talks with the company and is open to some sort of outside relationship after he gets back from sex rehab in Europe.

Here's Jean-Claude Van Damme and UFC ring announcer Bruce Buffer proving 60 is really the new 30 -- lookin' absolutely JACKED at a workout sesh.

The pic comes to us courtesy of Buffer ... who says he was droppin' sweat with his old buddy JCVD at a Gold's Gym.

Pretty crazy -- Buff actually looks BIGGER than Jean-Claude ... though the movie star gets props for his ripped-up arm. Bottom line -- both are in insanely good shape.

Probably helps that JCVD's still kickin' ass in "Kickboxer" reboots ... almost 3 decades after the original!

Tyrese says he's not mad at The Rock for doing a spin-off of 'Fast & Furious,' but then Tyrese goes after him with a vengeance, essentially saying he's a selfish actor who screwed his loyal fan base just to get ahead.

We got the 'Fast' actor Tuesday, chillin' in a limo near Catch, and asked about what we thought was his social media feud with Dwayne Johnson. At first Tyrese says there's no beef, but watch him ratchet up the rhetoric as he continues to grouse that the release date of 'F9' was pushed back to 2020 to accommodate The Rock's work schedule for the spin-off.

Sounds like beef to us.

Nia Long used Dove products, UNTIL she read the label.

We got Nia Tuesday in one of the treasures of L.A. -- Larchmont Village -- and asked her about the brouhaha over the soap.

It's pretty stunning ... she says she was a fan of Dove until she noticed the description on the box that said it was for "normal to dark skin." Translation ... dark skin isn't normal.

That's all she wrote for Nia ... who raised the bar and chose a different bar.

The Napa estate Lindsay Lohan schemed her way into "The Parent Trap" has miraculously been spared by wildfires in Northern California ... at least for now.

Staglin Family Vineyards -- portrayed as Dennis Quaid's "Parker Knoll" in the movie -- is currently unscathed by any of the surrounding fires in the area ... so says the owner.

Shari Staglin tells TMZ her property in the town of Rutherford hasn't been touched in the midst of raging blazes this week, despite bordering towns having been evacuated. She says the nearest fires are 3-5 miles away ... and threatening winds have started to die down.

Staglin also notes the property -- comprised of a vineyard and 2 mansions -- is surrounded by streams, so she's expecting to be fine. She's also housing some evacuated employees and families there, too, through the disaster.

The fires in NorCal have killed at least 15 so far, and scorched up to 100,000 acres.

The Weinstein Company is facing its first lawsuit in the wake of the Harvey Weinstein sexual harassment scandal.

The suit was filed by former Paramount President of Production Brad Weston and producer Michael Menchel, who claim they produced a movie for TWC called "One Chance." The suit claims they accepted a reduced fee for their work in exchange for back end profits. In return, they say TWC company promised the movie would appear on 800 screens, but only ended up on 43.

The movie -- based on a true story -- starred James Corden, as a shy shop assistant who was an amateur opera singer at night and ended up winning "Britain's Got Talent."

Weston and Menchel want $1.25 million each.

Seeing as how it was only on 43 screens, this is probably your first glimpse at the flick.

Ben Affleck is flat out lying if he wants people to think he didn't know about Harvey Weinstein ... at least according to Rose McGowan who says she told Ben face-to-face.

Shortly after Ben issued his first comments about Weinstein -- with whom he worked closely on several movies, including "Good Will Hunting" -- Rose blasted the actor for making it sound like Weinstein's pattern of sexual harassment was news to him. She claims she told Ben that Weinstein assaulted her, and Ben replied, "Goddamnit! I told him to stop doing that."

She says she even remembers where Ben said it -- while they were at a news conference for a movie they did. Rose adds she was forced to go to the event after Weinstein had assaulted her.

She told Ben ... "You lie."
