Johnny Depp says the industry used him as the #MeToo test case ... likening himself to a "crash test dummy" in a rambling new interview.

The embattled actor sat down for an interview with The Times ... and, he was asked numerous questions about his relationship with Amber Heard -- and, his excommunication from Hollywood circles.

Depp says he feels he was a "crash test dummy" for the movement ... pointing out he was taken to task before even allegations against Harvey Weinstein came out. Weinstein was found guilty of sexual assault in a retrial just earlier this month.

Elizabeth Hurley and Billy Ray Cyrus took their romance overseas this weekend, stepping out hand-in-hand in London for a night at Miley Cyrus’ immersive experience.

Philadelphia's the City of Brotherly Love ... and, we've got a video for people who love guessing games -- 'cause you've gotta guess the identity of a native son of the city.

We rode along with this mega-movie star for a few minutes on the sidewalk in 2015 ... where we talked to him about his city ending up on a list of must-visit locales.

He said Philly's inclusion on the list spoke to the author's Central Intelligence ... and, he said it was only a matter of time before the city ended up like one of his movies at the box office -- on top.

Yes, she's been in the Hollywood game for decades, but she may still want to be your "Babygirl."

Gailard Sartain -- the beloved Southern character actor from "Hee Haw," "Mississippi Burning," and "Fried Green Tomatoes" -- has died at 78, TMZ has confirmed.

Teresa Knox, CEO of The Church Studio in Tulsa, Oklahoma, tells TMZ Gailard passed away this week after a long decline in health. No official cause of death has been revealed.

The Church Studio -- where Sartain's wife Mary Jo volunteered -- is remembering him as "an extraordinary actor, artist, and comedian."

"Jaws" proved to be an instant hit upon its debut in 1975, as it terrified moviegoers with its blood-chilling depiction of a shark hunt in the harsh waters of New England.

However, the Steven Spielberg-helmed project has also become notorious for its troubled production in the years since its debut.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the movie's release, we're taking a look back at the worst of the problems that the "Jaws" cast faced on set ... as well as the drama between Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw that nearly doomed the film's production.

Although Spielberg went on to achieve fame and fortune as a filmmaker, he was still in the early stages of his career when "Jaws" went into production ... and he wasn't one of the first choices to direct the project.

Taylor Swift is still very much involved in the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively beef ... after a judge's latest ruling.

In new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, a judge ruled Justin's Wayfarer company can seek communications between Taylor and Blake that relate to the drama on "It Ends With Us."

Blake was asking the judge to stop Justin's camp from getting his hands on her messages with Taylor, claiming Justin was using her relationship with Taylor to "prop up a public relations narrative outside of court."

Cuba Gooding Jr. didn't mince words when asked about the escalating tensions between Israel and Iran potentially dragging the USA into war -- saying when you put everything in perspective, war is just flat-out ignorant.

TMZ caught up with the actor at LAX Wednesday ... he remarked on the brutality of war being propelled by men in powerful positions who are making decisions to wipe people off the planet, just to make their point.

Cuba points out how we're all constantly exposed to the anger and devastation from all corners of the world now thanks to the internet -- what used to be a one-sided view of heroes and villains has morphed into something far more personal.

Johnny Wactor wrapped his final film before he was tragically gunned down last year -- and we’ve got an exclusive scene for you ahead of its world premiere next week.

The late actor stars in the indie drama "Ciao, Mama" ... which will officially premiere at the Dances With Films festival next Tuesday at L.A.’s iconic TCL Chinese Theatre -- honoring Wactor’s life the same week his suspected killers return to court.

The movie's premise is about a man returning home to face what he left behind and wrestle with what it means to move forward with his life. Wactor didn’t just act in the film -- he also produced it.

Kelley Wolf made a desperate call to 911 from her Utah home hours before she was shockingly cuffed by police on video -- and TMZ has now obtained dramatic 911 audio from the first incident.

Check out the audio clip released by the Summit County Sheriff's Office ... Kelley called the dispatcher at 3 AM June 13 ... and she sounds totally emotional.

During their convo, Kelley asks police for assistance to grab her belongings from the Park City home she shares with "Party of Five" star Scott Wolf -- her soon-to-be ex-husband.

Hugh Jackman staged the slickest getaway since Wolverine grew claws -- diving into a car full of gobsmacked strangers to escape a fan frenzy like it was no big deal!

You gotta see this -- Hugh was totally swarmed by autograph- and selfie-seekers outside his NYC show 'From New York with Love' ... so he flagged down a random car, asked where they were headed, and when they said 6th Ave, he was ready to go.

It wasn’t an Uber, a Lyft, or even a car service -- but Hugh didn’t care. He slid right in like it was his ride all along, while the crowd he'd just ditched stood there totally baffled.
