Matt Rife is coming to the defense of Sydney Sweeney ... but not in regard to her viral American Eagle campaign -- it's the bathwater soap.

The controversial comedian hopped on X Friday night in response to her recent comments about the bullying she received from women over her Dr. Squatch collab, which saw the company selling a soap allegedly made with her bathwater.

He seems totally fed up with the drama, writing ... "I keep seeing people mad at Sydney Sweeney for noooothing 🙄 She’s learning that the internet is full of absolute garbage losers who will twist anything you say into a c**ty misinterpretation 😮‍💨  people are awful."

Sophie Turner is shedding light on her preferences in the bedroom ... candidly confessing on whether she identifies as a top or a bottom in bed.

Check it out ... while reading a thirsty tweet from a fan -- who expressed a desire for the "Game of Thrones" actress to "top" her -- Sophie wished she were actually a top. As she put it, being a top would be "a dream come true," but she, disappointedly, revealed she's more of a bottom.

For those unfamiliar with these labels, Sophie is essentially saying she's more submissive receiver than dominant giver ... while gettin' busy.

Hollywood’s having a full-on female takeover this week -- and you already know Sydney Sweeney’s kicking the doors down to lead the charge!

Yup, TMZ Movie Tea’s Jabeen Waheed is dishing the ultimate girly lineup -- and it doesn’t get hotter than this: Sydney Sweeney and Ana de Armas joining forces (yes, together!!!😱) alongside Vanessa Kirby for Ron Howard’s star-studded survival thriller, "Eden."

Next up, Margaret Qualley steps into the trenches as a small-town P.I. in "Honey Don't!" -- with Aubrey Plaza riding shotgun. The unapologetically femme-led, queer thriller is already turning heads ... and the chatter’s only getting louder.

Honorable mentions this week? Samara Weaving pulling off a slick Hulu heist in "Eenie Meanie" … and Dakota Johnson's diving headfirst into heartbreak with the breakup dramedy "Splitsville."

American actor Jon Heder was 26 years old when he shot to fame playing Napoleon Dynamite -- the super awkward and funny teen who gets bullied -- in iconic comedy/indie-film back in 2004.

Heder shared the screen with Efren Ramirez as the new foreign kid in high school who befriends Napoleon, Pedro, Haylie Duff as the hot popular girl, Summer, and Tina Majorino as the aspiring glamour shot photographer who has a crush on Napoleon, Deb.

Jon went on to star in other big films like "The Benchwarmers" and "Blades of Glory."

Congrats are in order for Ricky Schroder -- the former child star just tied the knot, and he’s grinning ear-to-ear in the wedding snaps.

The former "Silver Spoons" star posted the IG pics Wednesday ... showing him suited up on the beach, hand-in-hand with his new bride Julie -- who stunned in bridal white.

Ricky tells TMZ ... the ceremony was in Cabo at the Four Seasons on July 9th ... the couple got their license July 2 at the Ouray county courthouse.

Julie and Ricky were introduced through a mutual army friend, we're told ... and they're so grateful to have found understanding and comfort together. They wish the same for all.

Looks like the ceremony was wrapped in plenty of good faith, too -- Ricky even captioned the pics with a Bible verse.

Denise Richards has had it up to here with Aaron Phypers ... she's asking a judge to give him and his family the boot from their house so she can get her pets and belongings -- but Phypers' camp is calling BS on her latest legal move.

The actress filed documents with the court this week, asking a judge to order her estranged husband and his family to vacate -- for 8 hours -- the house the couple once shared, so she can retrieve her dogs, clothing, and her late mother's items.

Denise says the landlord recently messaged her asking her to pay rent on the Calabasas, California property ... but Denise says she stopped making payments in January after Aaron and his family refused to move out.

Jamie Lee Curtis is leaning into the hype after her curve-hugging promo look had everyone’s jaws on the floor -- and she’s really letting her cups runneth over.

The "Freakier Friday" star dropped a pic on Instagram Wednesday of that now-iconic plunging look -- one of her character Tess' sequel 'fits -- rocking a gray blazer hanging off one shoulder to flex her knockers ... joking the outfit’s snagged more attention than anything else!

In ALL CAPS, Jamie cracked she’s all about spreading the joy that her movie with Lindsay Lohan serves -- and hey, reposting that cleavage shot counts as community service.

Zoë Kravitz literally became a honey trap on the red carpet this week -- a bee bee-lined straight at her ... but luckily for her, Austin Butler buzzed in as her knight in shining armor!

Catch the buzz -- Zoë was slaying the carpet at the "Caught Stealing" film premiere in London with costar Austin and director Darren Aronofsky Wednesday ... until someone warned her a bee was circling. She instantly freaked, asking where it was like she was in a horror flick.

The second Zoë spotted the bee, she lost it -- straight up declared she was done, and bolted off the carpet. A few beats later, she came back ... but so did her winged stinger-stalker!

Nicholas Hoult admittedly knows very little about American football, but one thing's clear -- after he took in the Pittsburgh preseason game over the weekend, he's a big fan of Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers!

The "Superman" actor hit up Acrisure Stadium on Saturday to catch the Black and Yellow's exhibition matchup with the Buccaneers ... and he told TMZ Sports out at LAX on Tuesday the trip was awesome.

He got some one-on-one time with Rodgers just before kickoff -- and he said it was "cool" to bro down with Pitt's new signal-caller.

David Hekili Kenui Bell's autopsy report has been released, painting a clearer and heartbreaking picture of what happened before his sudden death at just 46 years old.

The autopsy report -- obtained by PEOPLE -- was issued by the Hawaii Police Department more than two months after the "Lilo & Stitch" actor died on June 12 on Hawaii's Big Island. The report lists four major diagnoses: acute respiratory failure, sepsis, hypertensive/atherosclerotic heart disease, and morbid obesity.

Atherosclerosis occurs when fatty deposits clog up artery walls, restricting blood flow or causing clots.

Sydney Sweeney may have made her name falling out of her top on "Euphoria" ... now she's continuing the theme in her latest IG post, depicting her first time skydiving.

The TV and film star recently posted video of herself falling out of a plane as she nearly falls out of her jumpsuit, and if any part of her was worried ... she sure as hell didn't let it show. Safe to assume that was all thanks to being tethered with aerial stunt expert Luke Aikins.

As you can see, the footage starts inside the plane just before the actress and Luke tumble out ... and follows them all the way to a safe landing where she's super stoked about the awesome accomplishment.

Austin Butler is stripping it down -- chiseled, shirtless, and smoldering for a brooding magazine shoot ... while revealing the punishing breakdowns that nearly broke him before this glow-up.

Feast your eyes on these hunky shots -- the actor flexes hard on the cover of Men’s Health, flashing a body carved like marble and proving he’s in peak condition.

The pics speak for themselves -- Butler’s looking damn good. But he admits in the interview, he dragged his body through extremes -- from pounding doughnuts and drinking ice cream for 'Elvis' … to punishing workouts and restrictive dieting for "Dune: Part Two."

Kevin Costner is demanding a judge toss a sexual harassment lawsuit filed against him by a stunt performer who claims she was forced to participate in an unscripted and unscheduled rape scene on the set of the Western film series, "Horizon."

According to new court docs ... Costner says Devyn LaBella was happy as a clam during the film shoot he directed, and she even sent a text to a supervisor that she had a great time after the whole thing wrapped.

Per the docs ... LaBella texted, “Thank you for these wonderful weeks! I so appreciate you! I learned so much and thank you again. I’m really happy it worked out the way it did too. Have a great rest of the shoot and yes talk soon!”

Chris Pratt is a big fan of Robert Kennedy Jr. ... and he's more than willing to go to the mat for his wife's cousin, which he recently discussed with Bill Maher.

The Marvel star dropped by Maher's podcast "Club Random" for the most recent episode ... and naturally, Bill brought up Chris' super famous in-laws ... which includes the current controversial Secretary of Health and Human Services.

As you can see in the clip ... Bill thinks pretty highly of RFK Jr. and even agrees with some of his views -- and Pratt totally has his back, but he certainly picks his words carefully when the critics are mentioned.

Fifty years later and "Jaws" still has a ferocious bite -- with Bruce the shark’s bug-eyed stare haunting us all the way to the auction block ... and you’re gonna need a great white green stack of cash to reel it in!

The OG animatronic eyes from one of the three full-size sharks will soon be up for grabs -- photo-matched to BTS shots, still on the original armature, and just as creepily lifeless as they were back in 1975.

Special effects legend Robert A. Mattey gifted the eyes to a neighbor in 1980 -- after they’d literally watched Bruce come to life in his garage. Decades later, the orbs are still holding up like they were built yesterday!

Spike Lee's documentary on Colin Kaepernick was scrapped, but the decision had NOTHING to do with pressure from the NFL, ESPN's longtime business partner, sources tell TMZ Sports.

The news initially broke over the weekend when the award-winning filmmaker was asked about the project while walking a red carpet, saying, "It's not coming out. That's all I can tell you."

Soon after, Lee and the network released a joint statement, citing "certain creative differences" as the reason for cutting bait.
