Gal Gadot's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony served as a battleground for pro-Israel and pro-Palestine protesters ... with demonstrators clashing on the streets as she received her star.

"RoboCop" icon Peter Weller is all about returning to the franchise -- but hold up, he’s not jumping back in just yet, 'cause he tells TMZ the conditions have got to be right first.

We caught up with Peter at LAX, and he said he’d pretty much do anything if the script is good and the money’s right -- so, he's not exactly asking for much.

Catch the full video, because it looks like even if Peter gets a good deal for a "RoboCop" reboot, it'll have to compete with his latest passion -- he’s just written a book!

Gene Hackman’s wife, Betsy Arakawa, made phone calls to a medical center on the morning after the day officials first identified she was believed to have died -- throwing a wrench into the timeline of both their deaths.

Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Denise Womack-Avila stated the department obtained phone records confirming Betsy made three phone calls to a Santa Fe medical center on the morning of February 12 -- the day after New Mexico officials concluded she likely had died ... from hantavirus, a rare and potentially fatal disease.

Womack-Avila told TMZ Tuesday ... "We can now confirm that Mrs. Hackman’s phone was utilized on the morning of February 12 to call a medical center in Santa Fe, Cloudberry Health. A total of three calls were made that morning, all to the medical center."

The original Mickey Mouse is out for blood in a new horror film based on Steamboat Willie ... and his targets are a group of princesses who are knockoffs of Disney stars.

Sources close to the production of "Screamboat" tell TMZ ... five "Party Princesses" will serve as Steamboat Willie's victims, and they are loosely based on Disney princesses.

We're told the princesses are celebrating a birthday on the steamboat and the party includes ... Cindi, Jazzy, Bella, Arianna and Rory.

Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow really got to know one another filming their upcoming movie ... because she says they have a lot of sex on camera ... like, a lot a lot.

Gwyneth dished on her steamy sex scenes with Timothée in their upcoming flick, "Marty Supreme" in a new interview with Vanity Fair .. telling the outlet, "I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie. There's a lot -- a lot."

The two were photographed making out for the cameras while filming scenes, but Gwyneth says these snaps are just the PG version.

Mel Gibson has emerged as a popular Republican candidate to run for California governor ... and while he appreciates that confidence from voters -- there's no way in hell he's running.

A source close to Mel tells TMZ ... he's "flattered" to have done so well in a recent straw poll among 2,640 respondents, emerging as the top Republican candidate with 12% of the vote -- but it ain't happening.

We're told Mel has never had any political ambitions -- and that isn't changing now even if voters are digging his criticisms of current Democratic leadership on the state and local level.

The new visuals for the highly anticipated "Happy Gilmore 2" just dropped ... and while golf legend John Daly and music superstar Bad Bunny are featured in the trailer -- Travis Kelce didn't make the cut.

Adam Sandler shared the minute-long teaser for the Netflix project dropping this July ... and it's chock full of familiar faces, including current golfers like Bryson DeChambeau and Rory McIlroy.

Shooter McGavin himself -- Christopher McDonald -- also makes an appearance ... but any Swifties hoping for another glimpse of Taylor's man putting his acting chops on display were left unfulfilled.

Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas aren't doing anything to nix the rumors they're dating ... 'cause they were spotted hanging out in London again, further fueling the speculation.

The two stars were photographed in England's capital Friday night ... dressed causally in jeans and sneakers after hopping out of a helicopter at London Heliport.

While they weren't chatting on their walk, they both had huge smiles on their faces, clearly enjoying their time together.

Actress Alexis Lopez was 14 years old when she landed the role of Bonnie -- the class sweetheart and Kyle's supportive and down to earth sister -- in the 2001 Disney movie "The Luck of the Irish."

Lopez was part of an ensemble cast including Ryan Merriman as the popular basketball player in junior high school, Kyle, Timothy Omundson as the Irish folk dancer who steals coins and challenges Kyle, Seamus and Marita Geraghty as Kyle's leprechaun mother, Kate.

Other notable works of Alexis include "7th Heaven" and "Even Stevens."

Eva Longoria celebrated her 50th birthday in style ... stocking a private party with a ton of her tequila for an impressive A-list crowd.

The actress -- who turned the big 5-0 Saturday -- held the bash Friday at Casadonna, a chic Italian spot in Miami, surrounded by her close friends and family ... including some very recognizable names.

Eva posed for photos with pals in a beautiful champagne-pink gown ... and looked ready to dive headfirst into her cake in one photo.

Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler were all smiles at Saturday night's premiere of "Snow White" in Hollywood — despite all the negative press surrounding the film remake.

The actresses stood side by side on the red carpet at El Capitan Theatre — and they could not have looked happier posing for pics alongside the movie's producer Marc Platt, director Marc Webb and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Gal, who plays the Evil Queen, looked amazing in her black lace dress. Rachel, who portrays Snow White, exuded elegance in her peach gown with a matching corset.

Eva Longoria's looks over the years are 50 and FABULOUS!

Here is a 30-year-old version of the Hollywood star droppin' jaws with her effortless beauty at a movie screening in Cannes, France back in 2005 (left). This was one year after she became a household name playing Gabrielle Solis on "Desperate Housewives."

And, 20 years later ... clearly not much has changed! Eva recently pulled her long(oria) hair back at a Major League Soccer match in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (right) -- and proved her stunning appearance with a bright white smile!

We know her looks are far from looking half a century old, but the question here is:

"The Mandalorian" fans will be pulling out their wallets and saying "This is the way" for this new auction item ... a lightsaber used in the show and wielded by Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill!

GWS Auction has put the saber up for sale ... starting the bidding at $25K -- so, a super Star Wars fan is going to need to empty the bank account for this one.

According to the site, two versions of the lightsaber -- a metal one called a "hero" lightsaber used for close-up shots and inserts and a lighter "stunt" lightsaber used in general shots and action sequences. This is the stunt lightsaber.

Eva Longoria's turns the big 5-0 today ... and, we've got all her hottest shots to commemorate the golden anniversary of her birth!

The triple threat -- who acts, directs and runs multiple successful businesses -- is still a Hollywood heartthrob ... and, whether she's in a dress or a bikini, she's always catching people's eyes.

Check out this pic ... where Eva looks like a red rose on a sandy beach, flipping her hair while strutting down the shore.

Rachel Zegler was finally asked about all the controversies dogging her upcoming big-budget Disney film, "Snow White" ... and she clearly wasn't having any of it.

Rachel was chatted up in LAX on Friday ... where she said "it feels wonderful" the live-action film is about to be released ... but it seemed pretty clear she was not in the mood to talk -- like, at all.

RZ booked it to her ride through the terminal while declining to sign autographs ... and really hauled butt when she was asked about all the negative press surrounding the film -- which mostly boils down to herself and costar Gal Gadot.

Severe winds in Texas have wreaked havoc on big rigs ... and some harrowing video got them toppling over!

Here's the deal ... wind gusts are blowing faster than 80 miles per hour in the Texas Panhandle ... which is also kicking up a crap-ton of dust, making for awful visibility.

All this has been a wicked combination, as seen in wild vids like these -- but the weather's made it hell for truck drivers and motorists, too ... causing several crashes -- and creating an aftermath right out of "Mad Max."
