American actor Sasha Jenson was in his late 20s when he played Don Dawson -- the high school senior and football player always lookin' for a good time -- in the classic 1993 throwback film "Dazed and Confused."

Jenson shared the screen with Hollywood legends like Matthew McConaughey as David Wooderson, the suave Texas teen always ready to party and known for his catchphrase "All right, all right, all right."

Other notable players included Jason London who played Randall "Pink" Floyd, the footballer who floats between the stoners, geeks and jocks, and Ben Affleck as the high school bully, Fred O'Bannion.

Margot Robbie's fantabulously emancipating her famous posterior ... wearing a dress so sheer her entire backside was on display while she walked the red carpet!

The actress hit the "A Big Bold Beautiful Journey" premiere in the United Kingdom Thursday ... and, when she turned around, we got an eyeful of her 'Bombshell' bottom.

And that's when she shared her little secret ... J Lo did go out for "Evita" in the '90s -- preparing "for weeks" -- and was even told how amazing she was right after her audition. Problem is ... she was also told in that same moment Madonna already had the role.

Sydney Sweeney is taking a swing at this year's Oscar nominations with her transformative role in the boxing biopic, "Christy" ... and we've just gotten a taste of the new flick.

Remember, Sweeney went viral last year when she was first spotted sporting training sweats and a short brown bob ... notably beefing up to take on the physically taxing role.

This is the second time the father-daughter duo has attended a premiere for this flick ... the pair previously hit the red carpet last year, when the anime film debuted in NYC. Though the "Magic Mike" star tends to keep his pre-teen out of the spotlight, more often than not.

Marlon Wayans has a very personal reason why his and brother Shawn's box office blockbuster "White Chicks" will NEVER get a follow-up ... and that's because getting a full face-beat takes too freakin' long!!!

Kai Cenat had Marlon on his Mafiathon 3 stream and brought up "White Chicks 2," taking Marlon down horror memory lane, spending 7 hours in the make-up chair all to turn into a bad bish.

Marlon explained that the 7-hour makeup job was in addition to the 14 hours of the daily production and the 1 hour it took to remove the costumes.

"Breaking Bad" star Raymond Cruz looked a little worse for wear after his arrest in L.A. for battery -- with his long face telling the whole story.

As we first reported ... Cruz -- who played villain character Tuco Salamanca in "Breaking Bad" -- allegedly assaulted someone's daughter by spraying her with a garden hose while washing his car.

Bruce Willis' wife, Emma Heming, is standing firm in the backlash after revealing he's living in a separate home while dealing with frontotemporal dementia -- saying it’s not up for debate.

On "Good Morning America" Tuesday, Emma said she feels peace knowing Bruce is in a professional care home that meets his needs -- getting the best care around the clock -- and stressed it’s not something up for a family vote.

The Italian journalist also asked, "If we lost something with the politically correct era."

12:38 PM PT -- Costner's attorney Marty Singer is firing back, telling us ... “This may be a new filing, but it’s really just more of the same old nonsense. These claims are not only groundless, they are ridiculous. There are 12 independent witnesses who confirm that Ms. LaBella’s claims are fabricated. Kevin Costner has been very clear about why he refused to give in to a transparent shakedown. He is determined to stand up and fight for the truth - and we will continue to do so.”
