We know lots of celebs look like all they do is have fun, but some of them mean serious business ... can you guess who this work-loving actress is?!?

We ran into this star back in 2016 when she was heading through LAX, and she said she wasn't too sure about her prospects for college ... especially given her heavy work schedule!

Jennifer Lawrence is still keeping up with the Kardashians ... but, she's done with Kourtney's antics -- accusing the eldest sister of being "more annoying than ever."

The actress took a shot at the reality star during a Vanity Fair lie detector test released Friday ... after her "Die My Love" costar Robert Pattinson asked her if Khloé Kardashian's her fav member of the famous fam.

Lawrence says yes ... then adds, unprompted, she's totally tired of Kourtney, accusing her of always making announcements about every little detail in her life.

Sydney Sweeney's taking one last lap around the ring ... sharing a ton of pics from behind the scenes of "Christy" and thanking everyone involved.

The actress dropped the pics the day after the film's wide-release in theaters ... with one featuring standing in the ring toe to toe with the film's namesake, Christy Martin.

The two are wearing complimentary outfits -- Christy does love her pink, after all -- and, they're grinning ear-to-ear.

Hit-Boy and The Alchemist have been taking their "Goldfish" album show on the road -- to dynamite effects ... with sold-out theaters streaming their film!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Hit and Al at their recent L.A. streaming, and they tell us they wanted to give fans a more engaging experience with the project ... so they shot a bunch of videos and pieced them together in movie format!!!

There's plenty of heavy talent -- Danny Trejo, Rory Culkin, Blake Anderson, UFC star Shara Magomedov, and more -- to match the featured artist appearances ... Big Hit, Conway, The Machine, Slink Johnson, Lefty Gunplay, and others.

Y'all ready to Tap-In?! Gen-Z nation popped off this week, and we've done the lord's work just for you ... here are the hottest stories:

Timothée Chalamet blessed the cover of Vogue and in the interview he disclosed he wants kiddos! While the "Willy Wonka" star didn't directly say he would reproduce his talented gene pool with Kylie Jenner, he candidly sounded off about an un-named celeb who bragged about not having kids. TC feels otherwise and wants to bring life into this world! We gotta know:

Breakout star Mason Thames has the looks, and his superstar power has landed him in the same playing field as Hollywood icon Jim Carrey.

Check it out -- Thames scored three No. 1 box office hits in a single year with films "How to Train Your Dragon," "Black Phone 2," and "Regretting You." The last person to achieve this record was Jim Carrey in 1994, with "The Mask," "Dumb and Dumber" and "Ace Ventura."

Lee Tamahori -- a well-respected director with decades in the film industry -- has died ... his family revealed to New Zealand's public broadcasting company on Friday.

Tamahori passed away after a battle with Parkinson's Disease, his family told RNZ ... adding, "His legacy endures with his whānau, his mokopuna, every filmmaker he inspired, every boundary he broke, and every story he told with his genius eye and honest heart."

Tamahori rose to international prominence after the release of his 1994 film "Once Were Warriors" ... a film which followed a family as they struggled with the detrimental effects of European countries colonizing New Zealand.

Blake Lively says she's lost a boatload of money as a result of Justin Baldoni's alleged smear campaign against her ... and now she's asking a judge to award her $161 million in damages!

According to new court docs, obtained by TMZ ... Blake's attorneys claim the actress lost a whopping $56.2 million in earnings -- past and future -- from her acting and producing gigs, as well as speaking engagements and endorsements.

The lawyers also claim Baldoni's reported mudslinging financially hurt Blake's haircare brand, Blake Brown, to the tune of $49 million ... along with her drink company, Betty Buzz/Betty Booze, which lost $22 million. They also say Blake took a $34 million hit to her reputation after she found 65 million negative impressions about her on social media.

Bruce Willis looked like the multimillion-dollar star he is Thursday in Los Angeles ... as he was snapped enjoying a rare public outing.

The 70-year-old Hollywood legend was as cool as ever in sunglasses and a baseball cap as he breathed in the fresh ocean air. His ensemble was made complete with a gray T-shirt, clean white sneakers and tan slacks.

Bruce appears to be flourishing despite the 2023 diagnosis that he has degenerative brain condition frontotemporal dementia, or FTD.

Sydney Sweeney’s a total knockout -- and not just looks-wise! She’s stepping into the ring in her new movie "Christy," which finally hits theaters this weekend.

TMZ Movie Tea’s Jabeen Waheed is spilling on the latest flicks closing out the year with a bang -- including Sydney’s new biopic flick, based on the life of the legendary titular boxer. And word on the street? It’s a certified knockout hit.

If you’re a self-proclaimed movie snob ready to fine-tune your Oscars radar, you’ve got two must-sees dropping -- "Sentimental Value" and "Train Dreams" -- the latter hitting select theaters before pulling into Netflix later this month.

Aimee Lou Wood's acted through lots of tense moments in her career -- anyone remember "The White Lotus" Season 3 finale? And she says Angelina Jolie helped carry her through an intense situation on set.

Wood sat down for a wide-ranging interview with Harper's Bazaar and talked about working on her upcoming flick "Anxious People," in which she's costarring alongside the "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" star.

Aimee recalled filming an emotionally taxing scene, and how she was yelled at by a bunch of crew members ... she said she stood up for herself and told the crew exactly what kind of space she needed to complete the scene.

Timothée Chalamet’s been surfing the fame wave like a champ over the last few years -- but he’s already thinking legacy, saying he believes the whole point of life is, well ... making little mini-mes.

The actor got candid in a new interview ... skipping the Kylie Jenner chatter since, apparently, there wasn’t much to spill ... and instead sounding off about a celeb who bragged about not having kids ... which, yeah, doesn't sit right with him.

Timothée told Vogue he watched the interview with a pal, recalling how the unnamed celeb said not having kids gave them more time to focus on themselves ... something TC said is a bleak mindset to have.

No one’s enjoying the spotlight more than Tanner Smith ... he just spilled his A-list plans, and let’s just say he’ll be rubbing shoulders with the Ariana Grande real soon!

We caught up with the "Love on the Spectrum" fan fave at LAX Wednesday, and he was buzzing ... telling us he’s headed to NYC to catch "Wicked: For Good," where he’ll meet none other than Ariana, Peter Dinklage, and Jeff Goldblum.

You have to watch the video -- it’s absolutely adorable. Tanner gives us the full play-by-play of what he plans to say when he meets the stars.

The first trailer for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic dropped Thursday ... and boy does it deliver.

Our first sneak peek at the movie "Michael" opens with the eponymous icon in the studio with his legendary hit collaborator, Quincy Jones -- played by Kendrick Sampson.

Q says, "I know you’ve been waiting a long time for this. The tracks are made, the songs are ready. Let’s take it from the top" ... launching us into footage of recreations from Michael's childhood and illustrious career.

American actor Khalil Kain is best known for playing the levelheaded Raheem -- who is killed by Tupac's character Bishop -- in the 1992 drama "Juice."

Other noteworthy cast members who joined Khalil on set include Omar Epps, Queen Latifah, and Samuel L. Jackson.

The much-talked-about *NSYNC biopic never got off the ground ... 'cause TMZ has learned the guys just weren't sold on the pitch or the producer behind it.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... the project never even made it to the screenwriter stage. The idea was brought to the band by Justin Timberlake's manager after "Fast & Furious" producer Neal H. Moritz started shopping it around, but the band's collective teams were unified that Neal might not be the right fit for this project.

Our sources say the guys, along with their teams, had a group conversation about the potential film and agreed they should explore meetings with other producers in addition to Neal. We're told that would only happen if the band decided to embark on the much-wanted reunion tour ... something Justin wasn't ready to commit to.

It's back to the drawing board for Anthony LaPaglia, at least when it comes to relationships ... because his wife Alexandra Henkel just pulled the plug on their marriage.

The "Without a Trace" star's other half beelined it to court Tuesday and filed for divorce after 7 years of marriage ... according to new legal docs obtained by TMZ.

Alexandra lists Sept. 11 as the date of separation and she's going with the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split.
