Aziz Ansari didn't settle for winning a Golden Globe, he immediately followed that up with another trophy -- a fresh bag of In-N-Out!

The "Master of None" star was double-fisting Sunday night -- his statuette in one hand, and his bag of burgers and fries in the other. He gave them equal billing, btw, holding up both at the same time for photogs as he and co-star Eric Wareheim strolled into the after-party at Poppy.

Gotta love their style!

Disney star Asher Angel is hoping the new DC Comics flick, "Shazam!," about Captain Marvel blows up like the 'Harry Potter' series because, if it does, he could be looking at more than $3 million easy.

Asher, who's only 15, scored the role of young Billy Batson in the flick. It's only his second big screen role and he's earning $85k for it. He gets an additional $25k if the box office tops $400 million, which is rare for superhero movies these days.

According to Asher's contract, filed in court because he's a minor, he starts making serious dough for the sequels. Here's the breakdown:

"Shazam! 2": $200k, with a $35k bonus

"Shazam! 3": $400k, with a $50k bonus

"Shazam! 4": $800k, with a $100k bonus

"Shazam! 5": $1.6 million, with a $150k bonus

Those numbers beat bagging groceries for minimum wage, for sure!

Asher needs ya bad, Captain Marvel.

The TV anchors and reporters covering Sunday's Golden Globes are walking a tightrope ... asking the wrong question or even an offhanded comment could put them in a world of hurt. Yet people involved in the coverage tell us, many networks aren't imposing ground rules.

We've spoken with several on-camera folks, all of whom say their bosses haven't given specific instructions on interviewing celebs. As one source put it, "They have clearly conveyed the sensitivity thing but haven't given me any instructions on what to say or what not to say."

One person who will be interviewing a number of celebs says, "Of course people are going to talk about the movement, but I also want to spend as much time on the celebration, celebrating their work."

Another personality says if someone goes off on Harvey Weinstein or anyone else for that matter, that person can have their say. The personality says, "Pretty much no matter what they say I'm not going to weigh in. It's not my place."

Brad Pitt is on the verge of becoming single again, so it's no surprise he's looking for some companionship. But really ... $120,000 for a few hours?

Truth is ... it was all done in the name of charity. Brad hit up Sean Penn's annual relief event in Hollywood, and one of the items up for silent auction was watching an episode of "Game of Thrones" ... with Emilia Clarke!!!

It was pretty hysterical ... because Jon Snow -- Kit Harington -- was looking on and seemingly either jealous or intent on getting in on the action if Brad ended up the highest bidder.

The bidding started -- as Emilia watched -- at a modest $20k but quickly soared at the hands of Brad to $80k. Harington had been in the bathroom when the bidding began, but when he returned to the room Brad outbid HIMSELF and upped the ante to $90k. Kit apparently quipped he'd sit in for the 'GOT' viewing and Brad then upped his bid again ... to $120k!!!

But this story does not have a happy ending for Brad ... he lost out to someone less famous who snagged the prize for $160k.

Ben Affleck engaged in a sizable cover-up Saturday as he tooled around L.A.

Ben -- who loves his hogs -- was cruising around Brentwood on his BMW S1000 RR Superbike. It was designed to complete in the Superbike World Championships, but went into commercial production.

It's unclear if Ben's gonna hit up the Golden Globes Sunday night. He's taken heat in the sexual harassment movement and by all accounts there will be pointed references to the scandal throughout the evening.

It will be an interesting night.

Hugh Jackman, a bunch of movie stars, and past and present Olympians were treated to an early 'Golden Globes' preview ... a live performance of "This is Me."

Jackman gave an impassioned speech about women in sports and entertainment before introducing Keala Settle at the Gold Meets Golden event Saturday in Weho ... who killed it singing the Golden Globe-nominated song.

The party's a who's who of entertainers and Olympic legends -- including Nicole Kidman (seen here with gymnast Laurie Hernandez), Ricky Martin, Jessica Chastain, Octavia Spencer, Allison Janney, Nick Jonas, Chrissy Metz, Greg Louganis, Billie Jean King, Summer Sanders and many more.

We're told the party guests were also treated to brunch bites and a gold chocolate fountain to dip snack into.

Just another win for all of 'em.

Josh Brolin's shedding some light on how scary it can be for film and TV crews working on projects about drug cartels ... saying it often gets way too real.

We got the "Only the Brave" actor at LAX on Friday and asked him about the dangers of making shows like "Narcos" and movies like 2015's "Sicario," which he starred in, in crime-ridden cities.

Josh tells us you have to take precautions because those places are definitely NOT like the U.S. ... and that a guy on the 'Sicario' crew was kidnapped in Mexico. He also reveals the 'Narcos' location scout killed in September worked on the film too.

So is it worth it? Brolin has a very interesting take on that, and as with many walks of life ... it comes down to risk vs. reward.

Hugh Jackman is up for a 'Golden Globes' Best Actor award, but he hasn't created a space for the statue on his mantle ... 'cause he thinks someone else is gonna win.

We got the dapper actor in Hollywood outside Avalon Friday night, as he left a big awards shindig. He's up for Best Actor for a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy ... for his performance in "The Greatest Showman."

Paul Haggis -- the Oscar-winning director and writer of "Crash" -- is being accused of sexual misconduct by 4 different women ... including 2 rapes.

Haggis was sued in December for allegedly raping film publicist Haleigh Breest in 2013 at his apartment after a movie premiere. Haggis denied the claims and countersued ... alleging she tried to score a $9 million settlement out of it.

Still, Breest's suit reportedly led to 3 new women coming forward with their own claims of sexual misconduct -- one similarly accusing Haggis of forcing her to perform oral sex then raping her.

Haggis had previously said he's used to defending himself against 'false allegations' because he's a notable critic of Scientology. He famously left the church in 2009 ... and appeared in the 2015 documentary 'Going Clear' about his experience.

Golden Globes nominees James Franco, Tracee Ellis Ross, Kyle MacLachlan aren't waiting around 'til Sunday's award show to start partying.

W Magazine held their Golden Globes pre-party at Chateau Marmont Thursday night and it brought out some big celebs.

Justin Hartley, whose show "This Is Us" is nominated for a Best Television Drama Series, showed up with his new wife. Kate Beckinsale, Salma Hayek, Jim Belushi, Cody Simpson, Selma Blair, Candace Cameron Bure and Mena Suvari were there too.

Gotta hand it to the East Coasters Tommy Hilfiger and Patriots owner Robert Kraft for making it out of town during the bomb cyclone. Must've been a helluva party.

Jaden Smith on a surfboard was like a newborn giraffe taking its first steps... wobbly as hell but gets the job done.

Jaden's out in Hawaii on vacation with little sis Willow ... and both suited up to hit the waves. Jaden's no stranger to the adrenaline rush. Who else is down to jump out of a plane at 15?

He's shaky at first on the board but no doubt he'll master the art of surfing. And check out Willow ... posing like a strong contender to land the cover of Surfer magazine.

Harvey Weinstein's not hanging out in L.A. preparing to crash a 'Golden Globes' party this weekend ... because he's still hundreds of miles away.

Rumors started circulating online Thursday the notorious producer had made his way back to Hollywood and was staying at a Beverly Hills hotel where press for the awards show was being done ... but it's not true.

TMZ's obtained a photo of Weinstein -- which we're told was taken around 4 PM Thursday in Arizona -- and word is ... he's not planning on going anywhere anytime soon.

A few actors -- including Rosanna Arquette and Ellen Barkin -- posted messages earlier suggesting Weinstein was in town ... and expressing disapproval.

Michael B. Jordan is positive climate change is the real deal, escaping NYC juuuust before the so-called "bomb cyclone" shut down the city, along with most of the eastern seaboard.

The "Black Panther" star says he spent 3 long hours on the tarmac at JFK before his plane eventually took off for LAX, where we got him Thursday.

Logan Paul's suicide video doesn't seem to have affected his side hustle as the lead in an upcoming horror movie ... at least not yet.

Logan's the centerpiece of writer Jeffrey Reddick's new fright flick, "Superstition: The Rule of 3's." Production sources tell us he hasn't been axed in the wake of controversy ... you'll recall Logan broke into momentary laughter in the video after he spotted a man hanging from a tree.

Doug Falconer -- CEO of Falconer Productions, which is producing 'Superstition' -- confirms with TMZ ... there have been no talks to recast Logan.

But here's the rub. Falconer hadn't even heard about the uproar and said he wanted to talk to the other producers. We're guessing word must have gotten around to at least some of the producers by now, which makes it all the more curious no one gave Falconer a heads-up.

Short story ... it's not case closed, yet.

Meghan Trainor and her "Spy Kids" star fiance are still basking in the glow of their recent engagement -- y'know that period where a simple stop on a street corner means let's make out.

Meghan and Daryl Sabara puckered up Wednesday during a stroll around WeHo. We'd say the smooch left 'em both feeling pretty good -- they walked off giggling, hand-in-hand.

As we reported ... Daryl got on one knee for Meghan just a couple days before Christmas, which also happened to be her 24th birthday.

Brett Ratner is singling out one of his accusers in court in an effort to silence other women from coming forward ... this according to the woman he's suing for claiming he raped her.

Melanie Kohler fired back at Ratner's defamation lawsuit against her -- and is asking a judge to toss it.

She says more famous women than her have publicly accused him of sexual misconduct, and she believes he's going after a lesser-known accuser to send a message to other accusers who are thinking of coming forward.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, her lawyers also question what Ratner is disputing about her rape claim ... he doesn't spell it out in the lawsuit. They also insist Kohler had no motivation to lie, as she was living with her family in Hawaii and had nothing to gain.
