Sydney Sweeney is a total jean-ius ... trading her real-life denim drama for some high-fashion fiction -- 'cause she just popped up on the set of "The Devil Wears Prada 2."

Onlookers spotted the actress stepping out of a trailer in the vicintity of Emily Blunt in rainy NYC Wednesday, rocking an oversized blue hoodie with the hood pulled over her face and casual bottoms -- clearly trying to keep things low-key between takes.

It’s unclear exactly why Sydney was going full incognito mode -- her role hadn't been officially confirmed before this sighting, so if she’s just making a cameo, she might’ve been trying to keep the catwalk under wraps a little longer.

Machine Gun Kelly’s making it loud and clear -- Megan Fox is the real MVP when it comes to their newborn, Saga Blade Fox-Baker ... and he’s got a hilarious story to back it up.

MGK stopped by "Today with Jenna and Friends," sharing that Mama Fox was recently fuming when someone praised him as being a "good dad" for doing the bare minimum:  holding the baby.

MGK explained Megan was quick to shut down the dad applause -- and it's clearly something he agreed with... saying all he really does is play the guitar and hope the baby’s happy, while Megan’s the real MVP doing all the heavy lifting.

Armie Hammer's rape allegations have not encouraged him to develop a filter ... 'cause the dude recently told a controversial joke about how much he enjoys "roofie"-ing people.

The actor made the jests on the most recent "Armie HammerTime" podcast episode ... telling his pal and former assistant, Ashton Ramsey, that he loved to smoke a ton of cannabis back in the day.

He jokes he liked to "poison" people with marijuana ... basically get them super high -- to the point where rational thought begins to break down. As Hammer puts it, he wanted to get people so high that they "can't find their feet."

Sydney Sweeney's brother is getting in on the American Eagle ad controversy ... poking fun at the situation by showing off his good genes jeans!

Check out Trent Sweeney's post on Instagram -- he shared a snap of a certificate acknowledging he was promoted to staff sergeant in the Air Force, and laid text on top, joking ... "It’s them good jeans 🥸."

As you know ... lots of folks have been having a blast with the drama -- just this week, a Chicago strip club announced they're hosting "The Great Jeans Contest" this Saturday, and Lizzo even teased new music referencing the ad.

Heidi Fleiss is over the moon that Aubrey Plaza  is playing her in an upcoming biopic ... but she's refusing to watch it because Heidi says she's not trying to go back to the past.

Fleiss also tells TMZ ... she's not involved in the yet-to-be-named biopic, which just cast Aubrey as Heidi, who became famous back in the 1990's under the nickname the "Hollywood Madam."

As you probably recall, Heidi ran an exclusive L.A.-based prostitution ring that catered to rich and prominent clients. But she was eventually arrested and convicted in state court for pandering and handed a 3-year sentence that was overturned on appeal. She was also convicted of money laundering and tax evasion in federal court and served a few years in prison before getting released in 1999.

Heidi tells us she's seen Aubrey's work in HBO's "White Lotus" franchise and feels she's a great choice to play her on the big screen and will do a spectacular job ... but she won't see what Aubrey does here, because "the past is dead" to her and she's not trying to relive her life.

British actress Raffey Cassidy was just 13 years old when she played Athena -- the Ionic robot girl and Frank Walker's friend -- in the family/sci-fi film "Tomorrowland" back in 2015.

Raffey shared the big screen with George Clooney as the child prodigy turned inventor who's exiled from Tomorrowland, Frank Walker, Britt Robertson as the highly intelligent gal who wants to be an astronaut, Casey Newton and Hugh Laurie as the inventor and mayor of Tomorrowland, David Nix.

Other big names in the film include Tim McGraw, Judy Greer, Kathryn Hahn and Keegan-Michael Key.

The real Slim Shady stood up in NYC ... making a surprise appearance at his documentary, which had fans losing themselves.

It all went down Wednesday night on The Rooftop at Pier 17, when Eminem showed up to a sold-out theater full of his stans -- fitting, since that's also the title of his newly produced documentary.

In the video .... Eminem talks about the impact his song "Stan" had on people and how he didn't realize it would be such a big deal when he was writing it.

Glen Powell helped award a longtime Univ. of Texas walk-on a scholarship this week ... and video of the actor's awesome gesture will hit ya right in the feels.

The "Top Gun: Maverick" star recorded the heartfelt message for linebacker Marshall Landwehr recently ... and when UT head coach Steve Sarkisian played it for the footballer in front of a Longhorns team meeting Tuesday, the room went nuts.

Check it out ... Powell, who once attended UT, told the fifth-year senior his "hard work has not gone unnoticed," before he announced, "That's why Texas is giving you a scholarship."

Dave Franco is keeping an open mind about possibly playing Luigi Mangione in a potential biopic ... and it sounds like lots of folks in his life think he would be perfect for the role.

The actor was on 'Watch What Happens Live' with Andy Cohen when a fan asked him straight up whether he would play Luigi in a movie if he was offered the chance.

Dave says no one has approached him about such a role yet, but ... tons of people in his circle have raised the same possibility -- and it's actually the thing he gets asked about more than "anything else that has ever happened." Makes sense, Dave and Luigi bear a striking resemblance.

Tia Mowry's on the dating scene, so naturally, she's weighing in on the new women's-only Tea app, which promises to help ladies spot red flags in men.

Actor Alfie Wise, the scene-stealer who teamed up with Burt Reynolds in iconic '80s action-comedies like "The Cannonball Run" and "Stroker Ace," has died.

The former actor turned real estate agent passed away on July 22 at Florida’s Thomas H. Corey Veteran Affairs Medical Center in West Palm Beach ... his longtime fiancée, Stephanie Bliss, confirmed to TMZ.

Stephanie said Alfie got sick with a bacterial infection a couple months ago ... he'd been in the hospital and had returned home -- but then had to go back to the hospital, extremely weak, where he stayed for about a month before he died.

Francis Ford Coppola is doing just fine after a hospital visit in Italy -- despite some alarming local reports ... TMZ has learned.

A source close to the 86-year-old director tells us he recently underwent a routine scheduled procedure with his physician of 30 years and is currently "resting nicely." The source says Coppola "appreciates everyone's concern."

While some outlets in Rome reported Coppola was hospitalized due to a mild cardiac arrhythmia before the procedure, we're told that's not true, and no emergency occurred.

Woody Allen compared late pal Jeffrey Epstein to Count Dracula in a wild letter the filmmaker allegedly wrote to the notorious pedophile for his 63rd birthday.

The letter -- published Tuesday by the New York Times -- is both shocking and reminiscent of Donald Trump's alleged birthday note given to Epstein on his 50th b'day. The Wall Street Journal recently published a story about the alleged 2003 note, claiming Trump signed it with a drawing of a naked woman (Trump then sued the Journal).

In the alleged Allen letter, Woody says Epstein always has several "young women" milling about his Manhattan townhouse, which Allen calls "Castle Dracula."

Icelandic-American actor and screenwriter Ólafur Darri Ólafsson was 40 years old when he starred as the drunk helicopter pilot -- who's foreign, loves karaoke and flies planes under the influence -- in the 2013 adventure-comedy drama film "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty."

Ólafur shared the big screen with Ben Stiller as the quiet, hard worker who spends his time daydreaming, Walter Mitty, Kristen Wiig as the single mom Walter is romantically interested in, Cheryl, and Adam Scott as the mean and obnoxious manager at Walter's company, Ted Hendricks.

Ólafsson is also featured in the Apple TV show "Severance."

Brad says the Bradleys are getting tips from Australia, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa and the United Kingdom, among others ... but they haven’t seen a whole lot of tips come in from the Caribbean islands where she disappeared in March 1998 on a cruise to Curacao.
