Rihanna and A$AP Rocky ate this after-dinner photo shoot in Cannes ... with RiRi flaunting her baby bump alongside her better half.

The power couple posed for pics underneath a bridge in the French city ... with a mural dedicated to the movie "Pulp Fiction" serving as their backdrop.

Rihanna's embracing a chic "Mother Earth" aesthetic ... baby bump pouring out the bottom of her crop top -- while Rocky's got his arms wrapped around her, grinning wide for the photo.

Violet Affleck is detailing a month of arguments she had with her famous mother Jennifer Garner while they were cooped up in a hotel room, displaced by the Los Angeles wildfires in January.

The eldest child of the "13 Going on 30" star and Ben Affleck recalled the disagreement in an academic research paper published in Yale University's Global Health Review earlier this week, titled "A Chronically Ill Earth: COVID Organizing as a Model Climate Response in Los Angeles."

She candidly notes ... "I spent the January fires in Los Angeles arguing with my mother in a hotel room." She describes her mom as "shell-shocked, astonished at the scale of destruction in the neighborhood where she raised" her kids -- but to Violet, there was no need to be surprised at all.

A supporting actor in the upcoming "Madden" film quit on Friday -- just two weeks into production -- allegedly over the use of the N-word and full frontal nudity ... but sources close to Amazon Studios tell us the allegations are being twisted.

Here's the deal ... TMZ spoke with five members of the cast and crew for the upcoming film starring Nicolas Cage as the NFL legend, and Christian Bale as Raiders owner Al Davis ... and they independently leveled some serious claims about the film's director, David O. Russell.

Crew and cast members told us that on Friday, Russell was working with the unnamed actor on an impromptu monologue when the director allegedly said the N-word ... and that upset the actor, along with others, who allegedly walked off set before they broke for lunch, and subsequently wrapped for the day.

Emma Stone and Dave McCary are looking to move on from their fancy estate in Texas ... because they just put their property in Austin on the market.

The "Poor Things" star and her comedian husband just listed the home for $26.5 million ... even though construction is not yet finished.

The place sits on 1.24 acres and there's a four-bedroom home, a garage with a screening room and entertainment space above, plus a two-bedroom guest house.

Ryan Reynolds has had enough of the "utterly frivolous claims" from Justin Baldoni's team in their ongoing legal war ... and now RR is asking the judge to ding them financially -- but JB is pointing the finger back at them.

According to court docs obtained by TMZ ...  lawyers for the "Deadpool" star on Tuesday hit JB and his team with a request for monetary sanctions -- which they say is a reaction to the "preposterous" defamation lawsuit that makes a mockery of the legal system.

As we previously reported, RR claimed Baldoni took his "thin-skinned outrage over a movie character" and decided to go after Ryan in court ... a reference to the satirical, "woke" Nicepool character from the new "Deadpool" movie, which JB thought was an obvious shot at him.

Denzel Washington dipped early from Cannes on Monday for a good reason ... and it had nothing to do with the heated red carpet exchange with an aggressive photographer.

A source close to the superstar tells TMZ … Mondays are DW's only day off from his super-popular, totally sold-out run of "Othello" on Broadway in NYC -- and the plan was to jet after his film's festival screening in France.

Denzel was absent for the press conference after the world premiere of Spike Lee's “Highest 2 Lowest” ... and there was some speculation in the media he bounced due to being pissed after telling a photog to act right, all caught on camera.

Cher is using her starpower for the good of Los Angeles' beloved zoo elephants Tina and Billy again ... signing a letter sent to Mayor Karen Bass to demand the beloved creatures be transferred from the L.A. Zoo to a sanctuary -- and not to the Tulsa, Oklahoma zoo as planned.

Cher appears on the list signed by several celebs -- such as Alicia Silverstone, Diane Warren, Katherine Heigl, Nicola Peltz Beckham and Justin Theroux -- that was delivered to L.A.'s mayor Monday to advocate for the health and well-being of the zoo's longtime resident elephants.

The letter argues the arranged transfer of Billy and Tina to Tulsa to join five other Asian elephants will only worsen their suffering, and that they deserve to be released to a proper elephant sanctuary so they can "live their twilight years with liberty and dignity."

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were projecting Hollywood glamour as they walked the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival Monday ... effortlessly displaying grace as they smiled for the cameras.

The superstar couple is in France to attend the festival and promote Spike Lee's new film "Highest 2 Lowest," in which Rocky stars opposite Denzel Washington.

RiRi's wearing a flowing bright baby-blue gown with cutouts showing off her pregnancy, and her hair swept up in an up-do with a side bang, showing off some extravagant diamond earrings.

A cannabis dispensary owned by Woody Harrelson and Bill Maher was burglarized over the weekend ... and the smash-and-grab is all on video.

Surveillance footage shows masked burglars in hoodies getting out of a car in front of The Weeds WeHo in West Hollywood ... shattering a glass window to make entry, then filling bags with merchandise before getting the hell out of dodge.

Elliot Lewis, who owns a cannabis shop of his own in town, says the burglary happened at 4:30 AM Saturday ... and he claims the same crew hit another weed shop in Santa Monica, ERBA, the following night.

Denzel Washington appeared to get heated with a photographer at Cannes Film Festival ... and he could be seen warning the aggressive guy on the red carpet to shape up.

The super tense exchange occurred Monday while the Hollywood superstar attended the world premiere for his latest film -- Spike Lee's "Highest 2 Lowest."

It's clear from the back and forth that the photog did something to piss DW off ... which all culminated when the guy appeared to grab Denzel's elbow, which really seemed to infuriate the actor.

Shia LaBeouf has truly turned a new leaf ... 'cause the dude showed a lot of patience with some obnoxious fans who would not leave him alone as the actor walked along a boulevard in Cannes, France.

Here's the deal ... the Hollywood star -- known as much for his stellar acting as his bad boy behavior -- played it super cool Sunday night when a few overzealous dudes would not back off for a picture.

As you can see for yourself, Shia is hounded by a small group of fans ... and a couple in particular wouldn't stop pestering him -- even after already snapping a few with SL!

Gwyneth Paltrow has a message for all the folks who have an issue with her Goop company selling a $75 candle that smells like her vagina ... if you don't like it, "Go f*** yourself!!"

The actress and business woman defended the controversial candle scent in an interview at the 2025 Mindvalley Manifesting Summit in Los Angeles.

Gwyneth was asked about her company's "This Smells Like My Vagina" candle and she explained that it started as a joke.

Actor Neal McDonough is a few months shy of his 60th trip around the sun, but the Hollywood star just took on one of the most physical roles of his career, and he says he busted his ass getting in peak shape!

In the movie, "The Last Rodeo" -- hitting theaters May 23 -- McDonough plays a retired rodeo legend who is forced back onto a bull in a desperate attempt to make money for his family.

TMZ Sports recently spoke with the director, Jon Avnet, and McDonough, who told Babcock he went to great efforts to look like the real deal.

American actress Wendy Schaal was in her mid-30s when she played Bonnie Rumsfield -- the blonde trophy wife who finds the neighbor's dog -- in the 1989 funny film "The 'Burbs."

Wendy shared the big screen with legendary actor Tom Hanks as the paranoid man who attempts to be logical, Ray, Bruce Dern as the veteran who is jealous of his neighbor's lawn, Mark, and Corey Feldman as the neighborhood's tacky neighbor who stirs up trouble, Ricky.

Wendy was in other Joe Dante (director) films like "Innerspace" and "Small Soldiers."

Tom Holland and Benson Boone were spotted having dinner together recently and TMZ has learned a new Hollywood friendship is taking shape.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ ... Tom and Benson are fans of each other's work and this is a budding friendship to becoming good friends.

The 78th Cannes Film Festival is well underway ... and, big stars are bringing their best to the red carpet -- including a couple of Hollywood heartthrobs.
