Actress Chloe Sonnenfeld was only 13 years old when she rose to fame playing Moon Gornicke -- the daughter of the camping family, The Gornickes -- in the family/comedy film "RV" back in 2006.

Other big stars to hit the screen included Robin Williams, Cheryl Hines, and Kristin Chenoweth.

Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, an actor famous for his work in the 'Mortal Kombat' franchise, is dead.

Tagawa died Thursday in Santa Barbara, California, the result of complications from a stroke ... his family tells Deadline.

He was reportedly surrounded by family, including his children, when he died.

Quentin Tarantino has divided film buffs with his recent brutal criticisms of Paul Dano ... and a star of "There Will Be Blood" is calling cut on the hot take.

Here's the deal ... recently on "The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast," Tarantino tore apart Dano's work ... specifically mentioning the 2007 Daniel Day-Lewis flick. QT spit fire, proclaiming it's nearly a perfect film ... had Paul essentially not screwed it up. Needless to say, fans of the movie -- and of Dano -- were left asking ... WTF, bro?!?

Dillon Freasier, who played the child version of H.W. Plainview in 'Blood,' tells TMZ … QT is allowed his opinion -- and when it comes to cinema he's usually spot on -- but this insight missed the mark!

Quentin Tarantino's worked with some of the biggest and baddest stars in the 'biz, but it doesn't look like he'll be collaborating with Paul Dano anytime soon ... because he just blasted one of the actor's most celebrated performances.

On Tuesday's episode of "The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast," Tarantino trashed Dano's work ... he said the 2007 flick "There Will Be Blood" would have been great without one "big giant flaw" -- you guessed it, he was talking about Dano!

If you haven't seen the flick, Dano portrays twin brothers Paul and Eli Sunday, earning a nomination for a BAFTA Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.

Tarantino really laid into Dano in "There Will Be Blood" ... he said his performance was "weak sauce" compared to Daniel Day-Lewis, who earned an Oscar for his work in the film.

The "Kill Bill" director said Austin Butler would have been a better choice to portray the Sunday brothers ... even though Butler was still a teenager when the movie was produced.

Tarantino questioned why Day-Lewis had to costar with the "weakest male actor in SAG" and said Dano gave a "non-entity performance" in the flick.

Vanessa Bell Calloway has been turning in impeccable performances for more than 3 decades -- but in "What's Love Got to Do With It," she wasn't acting at all ... at least in the film's most iconic scene.

Fans will remember the 1993 biopic follows the meteoric rise of Tina Turner -- played by Angela Bassett -- and her then-husband Ike -- played by Laurence Fishburne.

Vanessa plays Tina's fictional friend Jackie in the movie, who gets slapped by Ike when she sticks up for Tina in a diner.

You know the old saying, "The pen is mightier than the sword?" We don't think it applies to this actress ... can you guess who this sword-swinging star is?

We ran into this celeb while she was being hounded by fans and photogs back in 2015 ... and even though she stopped to sign an autograph, we're thinking she would've had more fun dealing with the Crazy 88!

There was double trouble on the red carpet last night as blonde bombshells Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried heated up the scene for the premiere of their new flick, "The Housemaid."

Check out their stunning pics -- Sydney flaunted her famous figure in a curve-hugging sequin gown that featured a corset top and a plunging neckline that showcased her bodacious chest.

Amanda, meanwhile, looked ethereal in a soft pink dress that featured ruching on the front and offered a much tamer neckline.

American Actress Sofia Vassilieva was just 10 years old when she starred as the creative and silly little girl living at The Plaza Hotel in the 2003 comedy film "Eloise At The Plaza."

Vassilieva shared the big screen with Hollywood legends Julie Andrews, Christine Baranski, and Jeffrey Tambor.

Forty-five has never looked this good! Jenna Dewan is far from a "Rookie" but if there's ever a draft for a league of hot actresses, she's our number one pick.

In honor of her birthday, we're revisiting her hottest pics ... like this one of a smoldering mirror selfie.

And this super shot of the "Superman & Lois" star in a tantalizing low-cut number.

Canadian filmmaker Bryan Michael Stoller, a longtime friend of Michael Jackson's, hasn't seen the upcoming biopic "Michael" ... but he tells TMZ he's got high expectations.

When we ran into Bryan in Studio City Monday, he told us he's only seen the trailer for the movie like everyone else ... but he already has a strong intuition for how his late pal would have accepted the film.

Bryan said having Michael's nephew Jaafar Jackson play him would have been enough to win him over.

There's a LOT on the line when Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua enter the boxing ring in 17 days -- not only is El Gallo hoping to pull off the unthinkable and beat a former heavyweight champion ... but one very famous bettor is looking to cash in BIG on an upset.

TMZ Sports is told ... former Sony Pictures head Jon Peters is all-in on the YouTuber-turned-fighter's chances against A.J. on Dec. 19 -- to the tune of a whopping $5 MILLION wager.

So ... why all the confidence in the Disney kid?? We're told Peters and Paul recently had a lengthy chat about the bout ... and the film producer (with flicks like "Flashdance," "A Star Is Born," and "Batman" to his name) was fully convinced.

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.
