Jada Pinkett Smith threatened a purported longtime friend of her husband, Will Smith, telling him he would catch a bullet if he didn't shut his trap about her ... this according to court documents.

The actress turned podcaster was sued in November 2025 for $3 million by Bilaal Salaam, who claimed he was Will's best buddy for almost 40 years, working closely together on several professional and personal projects.

In the lawsuit, Salaam says Jada approached him with about 7 other people in her entourage at a private birthday gathering for Will's 53rd birthday party at a movie theater in Calabasas, CA, in September 2021.

Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson linked up and let loose Monday night, grabbing mics at an NYC pub and belting out a victory duet after snagging a Gotham Award ... in tribute to the singer they covered for the win.

Check out the clip from Old Mates Pub -- Hugh and Kate belting "Sweet Caroline" like karaoke pros, leading the tipsy crowd in a singalong … fresh off accepting the 2025 Gotham Awards’ first-ever Musical Tribute for their flick "Song Sung Blue."

The song choice was spot-on -- it’s Neil Diamond, after all ... the very man at the center of "Song Sung Blue," the film that scored them the award.

Awards season is picking up with the 2025 Gotham Awards ... and a bunch of huge stars turned up for the occasion ... with Rihanna and A$AP Rocky leading the way.

The award show is going down right now in New York City, and Hollywood is celebrating the best independent projects in film and television ... meaning this year's crop of blockbusters are not at the forefront of people's minds.

But, star power is not lacking at the Gotham Awards ... there's a bunch of famous couples, like Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, plus Adam and Jackie Sandler ... though neither is quite on RiRi and A$AP's level. Sorry.

Sean "Diddy" Combs is steaming mad at Netflix and 50 Cent ... because he's going scorched earth on a new docuseries that's about to hit the streaming service.

In a statement, Juda Engelmayer, a spokesperson for Diddy, tells TMZ ... "Netflix's so-called 'documentary' is a shameful hit piece" and "confirms that Netflix relied on stolen footage that was never authorized for release."

As you know, 50 promoted the docuseries Monday on "Good Morning America" before its Tuesday release on Netflix, and he previewed never-before-seen footage of Diddy recorded just prior to his September 2024 arrest.

50 also had a very different view on what Diddy's reaction would be to the series, saying the music mogul would think it was "amazing" and "the best documentary I've seen in a long time" with the exception of some bits and pieces. 50 added that Diddy would ultimately "see the truth in it."

Papoose wants ALL THE SMOKE with the hip hop music he considers trash and poisoning the culture -- and flipped a full 11-minute mini movie to prove his point!!!

The veteran MC collaborated with producer Sean2 Miles, and for their 5-song EP, "Bars On Wheels: A Journey To Save Hip Hop," and spliced together all the music videos for a full cinematic blowout.

Directed by Daniel Curtis Lee, and presented by Wynn Records -- where Pap serves as its Head of Hip Hop -- Pap morphs from rap pusher, to Hip Hop cop, to ambulance spot rusher, to rap ambusher ... all the way down to the Undertaker lowering the casket 6-feet deep.

Sydney Sweeney's Friendsgiving costume was super hot ... and, we mean that literally because she dressed up as Dragon from "Shrek" -- with a sexy twist.

The actress shared a series of photos from her week of hanging out with friends around Thanksgiving ... sharing snaps from a Disney park, a bar and a lake.

One event she and her pals took part in was a party where everyone dressed as their favorite character from "Shrek" ... with Sydney throwing on red horns, a low-cut matching top and bottoms which revealed a lot of her impressive backside like the huge dragon from the hit film series.

Miles Teller's looks over the years are quite telling 😜!

Here is a 22-year-old version of Miles smising at the premiere of "Rabbit Hole" in New York City back in 2010 (left). This was Miles' first notable film and led to other big roles in "Footloose" and "The Spectacular Now."

And, 15 years later, Mr. Teller recently swooned the onlookers with a scruffy face at the "Eternity" premiere in London (right).

You can't Teller us he hasn't put some stellar looks on the carpet ... the imperative question here is: Good Genes or Good Docs?!

Gemma Chan's a superhero onscreen and in the fashion world ... and, we've put together her hottest shots to mark another year around the sun.

Melania Trump has gone Hollywood ... The First Lady said Friday she's launched her own production company, Muse Films, which will soon release her first movie project -- a documentary titled "Melania."

President Trump's better half made the stunning announcement on X, while also posting a short trailer that introduced the world to Muse Films. Interestingly, Muse was also her code name used by the Secret Service in her husband's first term as commander-in-chief.

Director Brett Ratner will helm the documentary, which will give audiences an exclusive look behind the scenes at Melania's life in the weeks before the 2025 presidential inauguration.

Tony Germano, a veteran voice and stage actor, is dead after a tragic rooftop accident at his home in Brazil.

Tony was in the middle of renovations on his house in Sao Paulo, and according to his rep, when he lost his balance and fell from the roof Wednesday ... and did not survive his severe injuries.

His rep also says, "This has been a very painful moment for everyone who worked with him and cared for him, and we’re still processing the loss."

Retired child star Maggie Elizabeth Jones was only 8 years old when she played Rosie Mee  -- the innocent and pure hearted kiddo -- in the family/comedy film "We Bought A Zoo" back in 2011.

Ask and you shall receive ... at least, if you’re Donald Trump -- 'cause apparently "Rush Hour 4" is happening at his request, with Paramount now gearing up to roll out the next Jackie Chan-Chris Tucker buddy-cop smash.

Trump’s pulling his pal Brett Ratner back into the mix, per Semafor ... he wants BR to revive the franchise that originally put his directing career on the map -- yup, the same director whose career hit the brakes after multiple #MeToo sexual-assault allegations in 2017.

Trump’s really keeping Ratner booked and busy ...  the guy’s also directing the "Melania" doc, which Amazon Prime snapped up for a whopping $40 mil and is dropping in Jan 2026.

Before this baby with adorable rolls turned into a handsome actor, he was just a cool kid in Connecticut, strumming his guitar and playing the piano.

He rose to stardom playing "John Tucker" and played Eva Longoria's gardener.

Blake Lively is a fearless flyer ... because she's doing some shopping at Trader Joe's amid her expensive legal war with Justin Baldoni.

The "It Ends with Us" star was spotted shopping Saturday at the Trader Joe's in Westport, Connecticut ... which seems like an odd place to find a Hollywood star.

TJ's is super budget-friendly -- it's no Whole Foods or Erewhon, folks -- and on its face, it looks like Blake may be pinching pennies here as the legal bills from the Baldoni lawsuit continue to pile up.
