No lifeguard was on duty when Malcolm-Jamal Warner got swept away by a strong current and tragically drowned at Costa Rica’s Playa Grande beach, according to new details.

In a Facebook post, Costa Rica’s volunteer lifeguard group, the Caribbean Guard, said lifeguards had patrolled the area in recent years -- but at the time of Malcolm-Jamal’s death, none were present due to lack of resources.

The FB post also described Playa Grande as a notoriously challenging beach, with signs in English and Spanish warning of drowning risks.

"Happy Gilmore 2" swings onto Netflix later this week ... and you can bet the stars showed up in full force for the premiere, with Adam Sandler and Bad Bunny leading the charge.

Catch the snaps from NYC’s Lincoln Center Monday night -- Adam kept it classic in his laid‑back Hawaiian shirt, while Bad Bunny stole the spotlight, serving peak golfing style as he owned the red carpet.

Christopher McDonald -- yep, the villainous Shooter McGavin from the OG ’96 classic -- is back for round two and was busy signing autographs.

Haley Joel Osment, John Oliver, Jimmy Fallon, and Steve Buscemi were giving full boyband energy, striking group poses inside the venue.

Hunter Biden is going scorched Earth on George Clooney and a bunch of other Democrats he blames for turning on his father and torpedoing his reelection bid.

Joe Biden's son unloads on Clooney in a new interview with YouTube personality Andrew Callaghan ... dropping a ton of f-bombs and ripping George for being more of a brand than a decent actor.

Hunter's still pissed at George for last year's guest essay in the New York Times where Clooney called for Democrats to nominate someone else to run against Donald Trump ... and HB says Clooney had no right to wade into politics there.

Heidi Klum decided to strip all the way down before taking a dip ... throwing off her bikini and going for a topless swim in a new video.

The model shared a video to Instagram Sunday in which she's wearing a thong-style bikini and new top ... proving that when the sun is out, it's more than her buns she's busting out.

Check out the vid ... Heidi takes her model walk from the runway to the beach -- striding down the sand toward the ocean.

Those hoping for fun moments from Travis Kelce and Bad Bunny in "Happy Gilmore 2" are in luck ... Julie Bowen tells TMZ Sports the guys are great in the flick!!

Bowen -- who's reprising her role as Adam Sandler's love interest in the iconic golf movie's sequel -- said out in NYC this week Kelce and Bad Bunny's acting chops are outstanding.

When it came to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, Bowen told us, "He's a star. He's always been a star. He continues to be a star."

Vin Diesel's looks over the years are too "FAST & FURIOUS" for y'all!

Here is a 33-year-old version of the Hollywood hunk lookin' swole AF at the end of "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" premiere back in 2000 (left). This was soon after he rose to fame for his role in "Saving Private Ryan" -- and soon followed by Blockbuster films, "The Fast and the Furious" and "The Pacifier."

And, 25 years later, Mr. Diesel -- who turned 58 earlier this weekend -- is still a fox, ie: he's turned many heads with his spiffy red carpet looks this year (right).

The question here is: Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Think we wouldn't know what the stars of "Clueless" look like 30 years after the movie came out? Ugh ... as if!

Sure, it's been three decades since Cher Horowitz rocked her iconic yellow plaid blazer -- with matching skirt, of course -- and everyone knows high school doesn't last forever, but that doesn't mean most of these celebs don't look as fresh as they did when they shot the hit 1995 flick!

Sara Foster says she didn't sign an NDA to attend Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's "intimate" wedding ... but, that doesn't mean she's spilling the tea about it -- keeping mum about secret guests she claims weren't photographed.

The actress was chatting with her sis on "The World's First Podcast with Erin & Sara Foster" earlier this week, during which Erin revealed she tried to call Sara multiple times during the festivities ... and, she never got a call back.

Erin asks for all the tea ... but, Sara just says the wedding was a very personal affair -- adding she doesn't get all the online hate about a group of people just attending a wedding.

Margot Robbie and her man Tom Ackerley are living it up in one of the most romantic countries in the world ... saying "ciao" to a lovely new day while cuddling up on their Italian balcony.

The actor and her producer husband were spotted in Naples Friday ... with Margot sipping on what looks like water -- and Tom drinking in Margot's beauty, wrapping his arms around her midriff and giving her a peck on her head.

Margot's looking elegant in a flower ensemble that shows off her long legs ... while Ackerley's keeping it casual in a loose-fitting button-down and a very nice watch.

Alright, let's see if you can guess who this celeb is ... but don't call an "SOS" if ya can't get it!

This singer was tapped to voice Smurfette in the new "Smurfs" movie, but we don't think she's feeling blue about taking off time from her professional life ... her Fenty brand's raking in plenty of cash -- more than enough to cop a few "diamonds" every now and then!

And you gotta imagine she's pretty excited to work on a kids' movie, as she shares two sons with A$AP Rocky -- and she's got a third child on the way!

We all know "Clueless" made quite the impact when it was released in theaters in 1995, and its legacy was cemented after it began being featured in heavy rotation on television in the years following its debut.

The funny thing is, while the Alicia Silverstone-starring movie actually started out as a TV project ... it ended up being adapted for the small screen after the movie came out!

We're going to check out how the iconic flick's humble origins led it to the big screen ... and see what's going on with the current plans to take Cher Horowitz back to television.

In the years before Horowitz captured the eyes of audiences with her yellow plaid skirt and matching jacket -- writer/director Amy Heckerling had envisioned the character serving as the lead of a television show.

The filmmaker originally envisioned the project -- which went through various titles including "No Worries" and "I Was A Teenage Teenager" -- as a show focused on a group of popular California high schoolers and a perennially positive lead character, according to Vanity Fair.

Heckerling told the outlet her television project was put into turnaround, after which her agent at the time encouraged her to reframe "Clueless" as a movie.

She recalled while her project was originally developed for Fox TV, it was later bought by Fox's movie division ... after which its team tried shopping it around to various producers --although it ended up being rejected numerous times.

After the project was eventually picked up by producer Scott Rudin, "Clueless" ended up in the hands of Paramount Pictures ... and the rest is history.

Following the widespread success of "Clueless," studio execs saw the potential for a spinoff series, and a television show with the same name made its debut in 1996.

Several cast members from the original movie -- including Stacey Dash, Donald Faison and Wallace Shawn -- returned to reprise their roles.

The thing is, Silverstone didn't stick around for the show, and the part of Horowitz was filled by Rachel Blanchard.

The program ran for a single season on ABC before it switched over to the now-defunct UPN for its remaining two seasons.

However, viewership declined throughout the show's run, and the plug was pulled on the project in 1999.

The story of "Clueless" didn't stop after the show got cancelled, as a new television show based on the feature was revealed to have been in development in 2020, per The Hollywood Reporter.

The project would have focused on Dash's character, Dionne Davenport, navigating the pressures of becoming the new queen bee of her high school, while investigating the sudden disappearance of Horowitz.

However, the planned show never made it off the ground, and the project was shut down in 2021.

The story of "Clueless" doesn't stop there, though -- another television spinoff was in the works in April 2025, and according to Variety, Silverstone's coming back to play Horowitz again.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti are one of Hollywood's hottest couples ... so, they decided to go for a dip to cool off in a rare vacation for the pair.

The actor and his model GF hit the water off the coast of celebrity vacation hot spot Saint-Tropez in a couple revealing outfits ... with Leo wearing board shorts and VC baring her buns in a thong-style bikini.

Leo was dripping with water while having a chat with Vittoria on deck ... and, the two were spotted standing at the edge of the deck, looking down into the waves.

Former American actor Cody McMains was just 15 years old when he played Mitch Briggs -- the sex-crazed high school teen and the trouble-making younger brother -- in the 2001 comedy, "Not Another Teen Movie."

McMains was part of an ensemble cast including Chyler Leigh as Mitch's older sister and nerd with glasses-turned hottie, Janey Briggs, Chris Evans as the hot jock with whipped cream drizzled over his hot bod, Jake Wyler, and Jaime Pressly as the hot blonde cheerleader, Priscilla.

Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist officially let the pasta out of the bag in Hollywood last night -- their "Alfredo 2" album is real, cooked up and almost ready to serve!!!

The Grammy-nominated duo was hosting the world premiere of "Alfredo: The Movie," their short film shot in Tokyo at Brain Dead Studios ... moderated by our own TMZ Hip Hop's Trent Clark, who got them to fire off the release date of July 25!!!

The film follows the two along in Japan ... with scenes Freddie joked that teeter on elderly abuse -- the dangers when you pull your own stunts!!!

Freddie says just giving fans music without an accompanying art piece would be a disservice at this point in his career ... it's directed by Freddie's longtime music director Nick Walker and spearheaded by his manager Ben Lambert ... nothing broken needs fixing!!!

Freddie told the audience he's in a good space mentally and didn't need tons of guest features on the project to amplify his raps ... something Alchemist wholeheartedly agreed with.

"Alfredo 2" album opener "1995" -- a 10-year jump from "Alfredo 1's" kickoff track "1985" also dropped today, to accompany the film's rollout.

Michael Madsen’s cause of death has been confirmed ... TMZ has learned the actor passed away from cardiac arrest.

TMZ has obtained the death certificate from the L.A. County Medical Examiner, which details his cardiac arrest was brought on by cardiomyopathy, coronary artery disease, and chronic alcoholism. Another significant condition was thromboembolic disease -- blood clots causing obstruction of vessels or arteries.

As we reported ... Michael was found unresponsive July 3 in his Malibu home and was pronounced dead at the scene. At the time, his rep told us he suffered cardiac arrest. He's since been cremated, according to the death certificate.
