Dave Franco and Alison Brie are spending a lot of time together while promoting their new movie "Together" ... but, they're clearly head over heels with one another -- locking lips during the press tour.

The husband and wife co-stars were all over each other during a pop up event for their new flick Saturday ... with the extras around them kissing too.

The poster for their new flick depicts a couple's lips stuck together, essentially forming one set of lips ... so, looks like these shots are an homage to that.

Chad Michael Murray has acted in a ton of iconic roles over the years ... but, he nearly couldn't -- 'cause he almost died as a teen.

The actor's on a press tour in support of the new movie "Freakier Friday" ... and, he got real about his near-death experience when he was just 15 years old.

Murray got real on the "Great Company" podcast ... telling host and reality star Jamie Laing -- explaining his intestines got all twisted up and he was bleeding internally.

It looks like it's gonna be a freaky weekend ... and it'll be even freakier if you can't guess who this celeb is!

We caught this actress -- who made her bones in flicks like "Halloween" and "True Lies," in case you need a hint -- while she signed posters for her adoring fans ahead of the wide release of a much-awaited sequel she stars in!

On second thought, maybe it'd be easier to guess who this celeb is if she was standing next to a costar ... maybe someone like Lindsay Lohan would work?

Chad Michael Murray's looks over the years are 'FREAKY'-HOT!

Here is a 21-year-old version of the blonde hair hottie in a shot from "Freaky Friday" back in 2003 (left). This was the same year he played Lucas Scott on "One Tree Hill" and of course, went on to play Austin Aimes alongside Hilary Duff in the 2004 film "A Cinderella Story."

And, more than two decades later, the sizllin' zaddy of three brought his long hair back to life for the sequel film, "Freakier Friday" (right) -- which premiered earlier this weekend, starring Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis.

Mr. Murray has put up some macho, masculine looks on the red carpet over the years, but the imperative question here is: Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Jeffrey Louis Starr -- a former child actor -- has died ... TMZ has confirmed with multiple family members.

Starr passed away last month ... with a family source telling us he took his last breath in a hospital in Carbondale, Illinois surrounded by loved ones. We're told he dealing with an illness before he died.

Jeffrey's brother, Kevin, and sister-in-law, Michele, posted on social media after he passed ... remembering Jeffrey as someone who gave great hugs, had a big heart and seemed to make and have friends at just about every place he walked into.

Emma Thompson says Donald Trump tried to see if there was any "Love Actually" between them ... though he did it in a way that sorta weirded her out.

The actress was dishing about a few different topics at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland this week ... and, she told a story about the billionaire allegedly trying to hook up with her.

DJT called her back in 1998 out of the blue while she was on the set of the film "Primary Colors," Thompson told the crowd ... though she thought someone was messing with her at first.

The "TMZ After Dark" tour is one of the wildest parties in all of Hollywood ... and, Jerry O'Connell busted out some crazy dance moves on Friday night's edition!

The actor hosted the event ... and guests didn't even need to walk into the bars and clubs our tour bus stops at in order to throw it back -- they did a ton of dancing just on the ride.

Check out the clip ... O'Connell's twerking with fans -- jokingly saying some of the riders got a little handsy with him.

People grow up, and things change over the years ... but fans of "Freaky Friday" evidently didn't go away, because Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis are reprising their old roles as Anna and Tess Coleman in "Freakier Friday!"

We know it's been 22 years since the mother-daughter duo switched bodies and had to fill each other's lives while working out their personal differences -- but the fandom for the movie stayed strong, and their patience is being rewarded with a sequel to the 2003 flick!

Horror auteur Eli Roth's latest project will strike a chord with fans of murder, because it's a trailer for a movie about a killer who uses pianos to make people B-flat.

Okay, "The Piano Killer" isn't a real movie (yet), but the trailer will play in theaters exclusively before screenings of "Jimmy and Stiggs," the first movie from Roth's media company The Horror Section, that opens in theaters Friday, August 15.

"J&S" is an insane, over-the-top alien invasion splatter flick, which Roth describes as "'Evil Dead' if it starred Cheech and Chong." And it's the only place you can see "The Piano Killer" trailer theatrically (along with another mystery fake trailer), which by our account, contains the most realistic depiction of piano murder ever committed to film.

"You're not my mother, get away from me, you clone freak!"

Happy Saturday y'all ... You've come to the right place for a fun sneaky game ... Can you bag up the 'Freaky' frigin' differences in these two shots of Jamie Lee Curtis?!

Earlier this week in Sydney, Australia, the Hollywood actress stepped out for the "Freakier Friday" premiere in this red-hot look, but some things are amiss.

Strut your stuff and walk up to the images ... Do you think you've got what it takes to score the changes?!

Tom Hanks is saying farewell to late Apollo 13 astronaut James Lovell ... who Tom famously played on the big screen.

In 1995's "Apollo 13" Tom plays Lovell, who died Thursday at 97.

Tom is remembering Lovell in a heartfelt post on social media, saying ... "There are people who dare, who dream, and who lead others to the places we would not go on our own. Jim Lovell, who for a long while had gone farther into space and for longer than any other person of our planet, was that kind of guy."

John Leguizamo isn't pulling a Dean Cain and volunteering with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement ... he says that's for losers.

The actor hopped on social media Friday and blasted the 'Lois & Clark' star for supporting ICE, volunteering to become an officer and helping boost their recruiting numbers.

John says Dean is a loser and a moron for volunteering to help deport illegal immigrants ... and then he hits Dean with the big blow ... telling him his pronouns are "has been."

Reneé Rapp has no idea who Joe Rogan is ... and her fans are losing their minds.

Check out the viral clip from this week's "Call Her Daddy" podcast ... the singer and actress is asked a Rogan-related question by host Alex Cooper -- Rapp responds by asking "who the f***" Joe is ... she's then shocked he's the same height as she is when she Googles him.

Alex is clearly amused by this blunt question ands asks Reneé if she knows what "Fear Factor" or the UFC are. The 'Queen of Gen Z' admits she has no idea what 'FF' is and asks if Joe is a UFC fighter ... to which Alex replies she's not even sure!

11:23 AM PT -- The general manager of Weir Canyon Honda -- which owns the vandalized billboard -- tells TMZ the display has been taken down.

Members of the Proud Boys are all in on Sydney Sweeney's controversial American Eagle ad, at least according to a vandalized billboard near the City of Angels ... and it's not because of her jeans -- it's about her genes.

A billboard along an L.A.-area freeway was spotted this week with a banner that reads ... "Proud Boys love Sydney Sweeney. She has the best blue genes."

It's unclear when the banner was put up in Corona, about 40 miles east of L.A., or who exactly is behind it ...  but one local resident tells KABC-TV it makes them feel "angry, scared, disappointed."

Gina Carano has wrapped up her lawsuit against Disney for wrongful termination and sex discrimination after she was fired from "The Mandalorian" -- we've learned she’s struck a settlement deal and moved on.

TMZ obtained court documents showing the parties agreed to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, and sources with direct knowledge tell us ... Lucasfilm/The Walt Disney Company and Gina Carano reached a mutual agreement to put the legal dispute behind them.

A Lucasfilm spokesperson issued a statement ... "Ms. Carano was always well respected by her directors, co-stars, and staff, and she worked hard to perfect her craft while treating her colleagues with kindness and respect."

Eddie Murphy is openly admitting not every movie in his filmography is great ... but when it comes to his geeky rom-com "Norbit," he feels it earned its place in nerdcore!!!

The Hollywood legend recently sat down with Complex and came clean that his films 'Pluto Nash' and "Holy Man" were not his best work -- but he pushed back on the criticism of 2007's "Norbit."

Eddie says he wrote the film with his late brother/fellow actor Charlie Murphy, and they both approved how the film turned out.
