Jon Voight says he and President Donald Trump are working together to save Hollywood ... 'cause the way things are going, he thinks the whole thing could go down the drain -- just like Detroit, Michigan.

The actor gave his first interview to Variety since POTUS announced 100% tariffs on movies made outside the United States ... and he said he wants to keep Hollywood afloat by any means necessary.

Voight says Tinseltown really does need help ... and, it's good news the prez really cares about the film industry -- 'cause that means they can get people to roll up their sleeves and save it.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet finally hit the red carpet together after two years of low-key romance -- and it was pure fashion fireworks from start to finish.

The genetically blessed duo oozed A-list glam in coordinated looks as they strolled in hand-in-hand at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome, where the photogs were basically foaming at the lens.

Kylie stunned in a curve-hugging black Schiaparelli gown, while Timothée rocked a sleek velvet suit -- and the two were not only matching, but practically glued at the hip.

Justin Baldoni’s blown so much cash on his legal mess with Blake Lively that the charitable arm of his Wayfarer Studios has taken the hit -- and now it’s shutting down for good.

Sources with knowledge make it clear to TMZ the shutdown’s tied to the ongoing lawsuits and the toll that’s taken -- financially and emotionally -- on Baldoni and co-founder Steve Sarowitz, though Wayfarer Studios itself is still chugging along.

Sources tell us the closure is a gut punch, especially given the foundation’s powerful mission and impact -- funding causes from criminal justice reform to gender equality, LGBTQ rights, and uplifting diverse communities.

Pope Francis' death means the church needs to hold a conclave ... and, 'cause it's been more than a decade since the last one, some are looking to an Oscar-winning movie for a refresher.

According to Politico, a few Cardinals in the church are sitting down and watching "Conclave" starring Ralph Fiennes, Isabella Rossellini and Stanley Tucci ... just to pick up a few pointers before the real thing kicks off.

The last conclave was held in 2013, when Pope Francis was chosen after two days and multiple ballots ... and, many clerics in the church now were appointed by Francis -- and took no part in that event.

Ben Affleck is showing his softer side for Britney Spears ... revealing he felt "empathy" for the "Toxic" singer back in the day when all eyes were on her in the center of the ring -- as Brit put it -- just like a circus.

The "Good Will Hunting" star spoke about the "cruelty" of fame recently on the "This Past Weekend With Theo Von" podcast ... noting that although he did not know Brit at the height of her fame, he understands "the cycle of having people harangue you and yell at you and hassle you and follow you."

He even compared her to a tiger being poked and prodded until it erupts in anger, and commented on the unfair public perception it creates, explaining ... "What’s taken out of the image that you see are the people around waving the stick at the tiger or poking on it ... all you see is the growling anger."

Adam Carolla is backing Donald Trump’s bold idea to slap a 100% tariff on films produced outside the U.S., claiming it could be the shake-up Hollywood needs to bring business back home ... particularly back to L.A.

Carolla tells TMZ Los Angeles used to be the heart of movie production, but rising taxes and costs pushed projects elsewhere -- and now we’re watching major films get shot in Canada, Europe, and pretty much anywhere but here.

He called out the industry’s double standards, saying Hollywood loves to preach about paying your fair share and supporting below-the-line workers ... yet it's the first to pack up and head abroad the moment local expenses rise.

American actress Madeline Zima was only 7 years old when she first started playing Little Grace -- the sweet, sensitive and youngest child wise beyond her years -- on the family-friendly '90s sitcom "The Nanny."

Joining Madeline on the set included Fran Drescher as the humorous nanny who looks after the Sheffield children, Fran Fine, Lauren Lane as the functioning alcoholic who crushes on Maxwell Sheffield, C.C. Babcock and Daniel Davis as the Sheffield's protective chauffeur and butler with a British accent, Niles.

Zima is also known for her roles on Showtime's "Californiacation" and NBC's "Heroes."

Jennifer Aniston was chilling at home when a man drove through the gates of her Bel Air property in L.A. -- and her security guards held him at gunpoint until cops came and arrested him ... law enforcement sources tell TMZ.

We're told the scary incident happened just after noon on Monday ... and cops believe the driver is in his 70s.

Our sources say after the crash, Jen's home security team rushed over to the car, got the driver out, and kept their guns trained on him as they waited for LAPD to arrive.

A 26-year-old filmmaker has a bone to pick with Malia Obama ... seemingly claiming the former first daughter used one of her works as inspiration for a new Nike ad -- without properly crediting her.

Natalie Jasmine Harris said Monday the A'ja Wilson vignette that Obama and Nike released this month to promote the hooper's new signature shoe is "shockingly similar" to NJH's 2024 Sundance Film Festival flick, "Grace."

In the Obama-Wilson piece, a young girl can be seen teaching the WNBA superstar her version of "Miss Mary Mack" while on a stoop of a home. In "Grace," two of the characters play a similar game with their hands as they sit on a small staircase leading to a house's front door.

The Met Gala went off Monday night without a hitch -- well, almost. One major fail came courtesy of two hosts who seemed to blank on the star power of a major Bollywood icon in their midst.

Check it out ... Teyana Taylor and Ego Nwodim, both Vogue correspondents for the night, were chatting with Shah Rukh Khan -- better known to fans as "King Khan" -- but their questions felt more like awkward small talk than what's fit for Indian movie star royalty.

Shah Rukh -- who made history as the first male Bollywood star at the Met -- kept it humble -- but thankfully, designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee swooped in to gently drop the mic and inform Teyana & Ego about the true scale of his stardom.

Sydney Sweeney had the cutest Met Gala date last night -- her furry new friend, Sully Bear! While the "Euphoria" star's German Shepherd puppy did not climb the stairs of the Metropolitan Museum of Art himself, he did surprise fans with an appearance after the grand ball for a stroll in the bustling streets of New York City.

Check out our clip ... SS is a proud dog mom as she smiles for cameras while making her way outside the star-studded Carlyle Hotel with Sully in her arms.

She gracefully steps through the thrilled crowd so she can take her good boy for a walk ... but the timing couldn't have been worse. The moment she places her pooch on the pavement, the crowd frantically rushes towards the Carlyle, screaming for Hailey Bieber, an eyewitness tells TMZ.

The Met Gala style didn’t stop at the blue carpet -- NYC’s after-parties were just as stacked with killer looks and A-listers.

First up: Casa Cipriani on Monday night, where Zendaya, Hailey Bieber, Cardi B -- and even Leonardo DiCaprio -- rolled through and mixed it up with the packed crowd.

You can see Leo -- who skipped the official Met Gala -- kept it classic in all black as he slipped through the venue solo, with no sign of GF Vittoria Ceretti.

Donald Trump’s big idea to slap a 100% tariff on films made outside the U.S. might sound like a patriot’s dream -- but according to one Hollywood heavyweight, it’s actually a 100% career-ender for the movie biz.

TMZ caught up with "Green Book" producer Charles Wessler, and let’s just say he didn’t sugarcoat his thoughts on Trump’s proposal to force filming back onto American soil ... telling us it's the stupidest idea he's ever heard ... but said it tracks, coming from Trump.

Charles breaks down how the movie biz can't survive the move -- budgets are part of it, but it’s also about creative freedom and authenticity ... and also the practicality of certain locations that can't be recreated in the U.S.

The small Mississippi town where the monster hit movie "Sinners" is set doesn't have a movie theater, which sucks for the townsfolk who want to know what all the hubbub is about ... but that's about to change, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... Clarksdale, a town of about 15,000, hasn't had a movie theater for years, which means peeps have to travel an hour to the closest big city -- Memphis, Tennessee -- to see a flick ... and that's a chore most residents don't have the time or money to bother with, even to see a cultural phenomenon set in their own community.

Clarksdale’s Mayor Chuck Espy tells TMZ ... the city has been in talks with Warner Bros., and a special event is going to take place so everyone who wants to see the film on the big screen finally will have the chance!

Kevin Costner's more rolling stone than a 'Yellowstone' ... 'cause he's seemingly flirting with a women at bars -- and, we've got photos that show the whole interaction.

The actor was photographed inside Raspoutine Night Club in Los Angeles Saturday night ... getting close with a lady in the popular spot.

Check out the pics ... Kevin's hanging out around the dancefloor -- vibing to the music while the women around him shake it.

Dylan O'Brien's relationship with his brother isn't as tight as he led some to believe during an interview last week ... 'cause his bro says they haven't spoken in months.

Here's the deal ... the actor recently did an interview with the Gay Times -- during which he said he was super grateful for his "trans, nonbinary sibling" before adding he knows other people who are queer and is grateful for how those relationships "deepen my experience in this world.”

Well, Dylan's brother -- who goes by Julz on Instagram and uses he/they pronouns -- fired off in the Instagram comments of the Times' post about the interview ... revealing he's "actually trans masc," not nonbinary.
