Corey Feldman Trolls Want Me 'Gang Raped' in Jail ... Police Investigating

Published | Updated

Corey Feldman's the victim of an online attack that he feels goes beyond typical social media bullying -- people talking about him getting raped -- and now LAPD's on the case.

There are 4 different Twitter accounts that Corey says have been harassing him and wishing heinous things happen to him. According to a search warrant ... one Twitter said, "If longing to see @Corey_Feldman get gangraped in prison is wrong, I don't want to be right."

Corey's blocked the person, but cops think the suspect created multiple accounts to annoy Corey ... who's repeatedly alleged widespread pedophilia in Hollywood. In another message, an Instagram user commented 17 times, "Corey is a rapist."

Corey says he and his family are in fear for their lives due to the nature of the messages. Detectives are trying to trace the IP addresses of the people behind the Twitter accounts.

Pete Davidson His Ariana Bunny Tattoo is Missing

Published | Updated

3:00 PM PT -- Sources close to the couple tell us there is no trouble in paradise. Davidson covered up the ink temporarily for a movie role.

Pete Davidson appears to have wiped a symbol of his fiancee, Ariana Grande, off his body ... and now the question is ... why?

The 'SNL' star was spotted Sunday in L.A. without Ariana by his side -- but, more importantly, WITHOUT his jet-black neck tattoo of her trademark black bunny mask.

Pete got the Ariana-inspired ink behind his ear early last month by tattoo artist London Reese, who posted a shot of his work on social media at the time. Now, you can still see traces of the tattoo ... but it definitely looks more faded than what it once was.

He also got a thumb tat with Ariana's initials, but you can't tell here if he's still rockin' that.

Here's the thing ... Pete's in the middle of shooting a movie with Machine Gun Kelly right now, and it's quite possible that he simply had the tat covered with makeup for the job.

Pete and Ariana just recently got engaged, and he already reportedly covered up another forearm tat that was dedicated to his ex.

'Guardians of the Galaxy' Cast Backs James Gunn ... He's the Victim of 'Mob Mentality'

Published | Updated

'Guardians of the Galaxy' director James Gunn was done dirty by America's politically charged court of public opinion ... according to Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldana and the rest of the 'GotG' stars.

The cast posted an open letter in support of Gunn, who Disney fired from the franchise in response to old tweets where he made several highly inappropriate jokes. In the letter they vouch for his character, accept his apology and hint Disney only canned him because it feared public backlash.

They wrote, "There is little due process in the court of public opinion. Given the growing political divide in this country, it's safe to say instances like this will continue." They went on to urge Americans to "ease up on the character assassinations and stop weaponizing mob mentality."

In the letter -- also signed by Bradley Cooper, Dave Bautista and Michael Rooker -- they don't exactly demand Disney rehire Gunn ... but on social media, Pratt said he'd "love to see him reinstated as director of Volume 3." The cast insists Gunn's not done in Hollywood, and they look forward to working with "our friend James again in the future."

CHOKE ON THIS!

Demi Moore trolled the hell outta Bruce Willis with a Harvey Weinstein joke at his 'Roast' that might have some people asking ... too soon?

The actress made a surprise appearance at her ex-husband's "Comedy Central Roast" -- which aired Sunday night -- and joked Bruce was one of the disgraced studio mogul's victims.

The setup started with Demi giving Bruce props for doing an Indie movie, "Pulp Fiction," which happened to be produced by Weinstein. Then came the punch line ... which drew laughs, but also shock from others onstage -- Kevin Pollak winced and Cybill Shepherd's jaw literally dropped.

Harvey, of course, faces life in prison following 3 sexual assault charges in NYC.

Nic Cage Noise Complaint Calls for the Cavalry ... Well, Almost

Published | Updated

Nicolas Cage and his GF got so loud at a five-star hotel, cops had to come riding in to the rescue.

Sources tell us Nic was staying at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel in Alberta, Canada Tuesday after he wrapped filming on a movie up North. We're told someone called in a noise complaint that night, claiming things were getting outta hand in Nic's room.

First, hotel security came up and told them to keep it down. We're told Nic happily obliged, but some other guest went straight to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police -- 'cause officers responded after midnight. Not on horseback, bro. In case ya don't know, the RCMP have cars now.

Luckily for Nic, nothing came of it ... law enforcement tells us no arrests were made. Case closed. No horses mounted.

Glenn Close I Love James Gunn, But Be Smarter on Social Media!

Published | Updated

Glenn Close seems conflicted about the firing of director James Gunn over his offensive tweets, but she has some advice for him when it comes to social media.

We got the legendary actress Thursday outside a BUILD Series event in NYC for her upcoming movie "The Wife" ... and asked her about Disney's decision to fire Gunn. She worked with him when she played Nova Prime in "Guardians of the Galaxy."

She deflected on whether she supports Disney's move, and instead said Gunn, and others, should take a different approach before clicking "tweet" or "share."

As we reported ... Gunn was axed as director of the 'Guardians' franchise after years-old tweets surfaced in which he made crass and offensive comments about 9/11, AIDS, rape and pedophilia.

Katie Holmes I Want to Be a Part of It ... Just Another NYC Subway Rider

Published | Updated

Katie Holmes' carbon footprint just shrank a size after she hopped on the subway in NYC, and blended in with the other metro riders.

We don't see celebs riding the subway often, but Holmes looked just like any other New Yorker minding her own damn business on a train headed uptown. She got lost in a copy of Joan Didion's "Slouching Towards Bethlehem."

Hopefully she didn't miss her stop. Nothing jacks up your day like waking up in Flushing, Queens ... when you were headed for Midtown.

Dennis Quaid Sued Eh, You Can't Smoke on This Flight ... And You Totally Did!

Published | Updated

Dennis Quaid took a puff on a plane, and broke both the airline's policy and a fellow passenger's peace of mind ... according to a new lawsuit.

A guy named Karl Larsen is trying to drag Dennis to small claims court in L.A., claiming the veteran actor smoked an electronic cigarette next to him in first class on an Air Canada flight from Toronto to L.A. when he shouldn't have ... 2 whole years ago in July.

According to the complaint -- obtained by TMZ -- Larsen says Quaid owes him the cost of a plane ticket for ... well, reasons that are unclear. He doesn't spell out why Quaid should pay him, but he does make note that he's cutting the guy a break -- only looking to be reimbursed the price of a biz class seat (not first class) from TOR to LAX ... at just $3,829.

For the record, Air Canada has a zero-tolerance policy on e-cigarettes on board. Then again ... this thing might be much ado aboot nothin' when it comes right down to it.

We've reached out to Dennis' camp for comment ... so far, no word back.

Published | Updated

The famous house used in the first "Scream" horror flick is coming back to life ... for die-hard fans who wanna rage and are down for Ghostface to scare the crap outta them ... for a price.

Anthony Masi and Nate Ragon are the creators of Scream Comes Home -- located near Santa Rosa, CA -- and they've set out to recreate the party at the actual house where the flick's classic ending went down.

The party's set for the weekend before Halloween and fans can drop $200 for a basic entry ticket to the party ... but they're outta luck on the overnight packages for $1750 a pop. Those sold out in 2 days.

Anthony and Nate tell us they spent $22k to rent out the 5 bedroom, 4 bathroom pad for the weekend and they'll trick out the house with a bunch of scary surprises. And, get this ... for the right price you can have the guy behind Ghostface's voice, Roger Jackson, call and harass you just like in the movie.

There will also be a ton of memorabilia from the film showcased in the property's 2 barns for fans to see. Think of the weekend as a scary rager with a bit of a museum twist.

Leonardo DiCaprio Smokin' Aces with Scott Eastwood

Published | Updated

Leonardo DiCaprio's new wingman is Scott Eastwood, at least when it comes to summer beach volleyball. Hide your eyes, Tobey Maguire.

The actors got some action in the sand Sunday in Malibu, and looks like the match was going their way -- a lot of bro-in' down between serves.

Leo's been getting tons of v-ball practice lately. We saw him dishing at a Fourth of July party while co-hosting with Sean Penn. Leo went at it again a couple weeks later ... going up against Ansel Elgort.

One thing we've noticed about Leo is, for whatever reason, he prefers keeping on his white tees while others in the game opt for skins. Hard to blame him, Eastwood's 11 years younger, and well ... look at him.

Hey, they've both got game.

Comic Con 2018 Hollywood Loses the Costumes ... And Faces Their Fans

Published | Updated

Hollywood's biggest stars got a chance to dress down from their superhero getups this weekend and talk to the people who love 'em the most ... their diehard fanboys (and girls).

Tons of celebs were in attendance Saturday for Comic-Con International: San Diego 2018, where a lot of them sat in on panels and got grilled by their biggest supporters.

Some of the A-listers who stepped up the mic ... Chris Pratt, Elizabeth Banks, RZA, Jason Momoa, Nicole Kidman, Patrick Wilson, Amber Heard, Eric Andre, Keegan-Michael Key, Joe Manganiello, Brandon Mychal Smith, Matt Groening, Norman Reedus, Tara Reid, Danai Gurira, Jude Law, Johnny Depp (yep) ... and tons more.

BTW ... Chris wasn't there promoting the new 'Guardians' movie (yet), but he reportedly avoided talking about the recent firing of director James Gunn from the franchise ... since the controversy apparently wasn't brought up in a Q&A with the audience.

'Guardians Vol. 3' isn't due to come out 'til 2020, and the 'Lego Movie' sequel needs all the pub it can get before next year. So Chris seems to be safe on that topic ... for now.

Sharon Tate's Sister I'm Down with Tarantino's Manson Movie ... For Now

Published | Updated

Sharon Tate's sister, Debra Tate, has had a change of heart over Quentin Tarantino's upcoming flick about the Manson Family ... after a face-to-face with the director.

Debra tells TMZ ... Quentin reached out to her to break the ice and address her concerns over his project -- "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" -- and was able to arrange a meeting recently.

Debra says she voiced her concerns and he heard her out, then explained the movie's plot ... which made her feel much better. She says she now believes Tarantino has honorable intentions ... "This movie is not what people would expect it to be when you combine the Tarantino and Manson names."

Debra's also pleased with the movie's new release date, which was bumped up 2 weeks in 2019 so it no longer coincides with the 50th anniversary of the murders ... which she thought was "tacky and exploitative."

She still has reservations, though ... but says she's going to meet with Quentin again to read the script and hash it out. But, she's on board for now ... even enough to see the flick.

The film stars Margot Robbie, Leo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt and is about a TV actor and his stunt double trying to make a name for themselves in Hollywood. Tarantino has publicly called it a movie about 1969, not just Charles Manson.
