During Black History Month??? Tourette Syndrome activist John Davidson was heard shouting the N-word during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation at the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday.

Michael and Delroy's professionalism kept the show going without too much of a hiccup. The two just calmly continued presenting the award for best visual effects to "Avatar: Fire and Ash."

But we're guessing the mood in the room was pretty dour after the shocking outburst, because host Alan Cumming issued an apology.

He said, "Tourette Syndrome is a disability and the tics you've heard tonight are involuntary, which means the person who has Tourette Syndrome has no control over their language. We apologize if you are offended tonight."

There are only a handful of stars who’ve been grinding since childhood -- and we’ve got one right here ... guess who!

We’ll give you some clues ... she launched her career alongside a very famous alien ... she staged a major Hollywood comeback after a rough patch ... and she's now a familiar face on daytime TV ...

Shia LaBeouf is back in the dating game ... and he's playing it out in public nearly a year after his split from Mia Goth.

TMZ has obtained video and photos of the actor getting handsy with a mystery woman during a flirty Saturday night out in New Orleans just days after his recent arrest.

Shia was at a bar just off Bourbon Street, where he spent more than 45 minutes locked in with a brunette who clearly had his full attention. The two stood hand in hand under the club lights on an upstairs balcony overlooking the bar.

We’re told 50 shot multiple scenes alongside Kim Kardashian, Nikki Glaser and Brenda Song with the action going down at Exchange LA -- a nightclub in downtown Los Angeles.

Gabourey Sidibe’s husband -- Brandon Frankel -- has revealed he’s battling Stage 1 papillary thyroid cancer ... and he says pushing doctors to listen may have saved his life.

The husband of the "American Horror Story" actress shared the news Friday in a lengthy Instagram post, writing, “Things I never thought I’d have to post: I was diagnosed with Stage I Papillary Thyroid cancer.”

He included hospital bed selfies with Sidibe smiling by his side. According to Frankel, doctors caught the cancer early, but only because he insisted on getting an ultrasound ... which his doctor initially didn’t think he needed.

Mel Gibson and a controversial archbishop chopped it up during a visit to the set of "The Resurrection of the Christ" ... but there's no consulting going on, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... a Friday report stated excommunicated Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò is a consultant on Mel's follow-up to his blockbuster "The Passion of the Christ." It was a shocking development to some, given that Viganò was booted by the Vatican in 2024 for refusing to recognize Pope Francis’ authority.

A source close to 'Resurrection' production tells TMZ … Viganò is NOT a consultant on the film. Viganò visited the set, and the two conversed … but that’s the extent of their relationship. Viganò posted some snaps of his set visit, which likely kicked the rumors into high gear.

It's been over 30 years since "Tommy Boy" hit movie theaters around the country -- and Rob Lowe is just now making it known publicly he wants some damn credit!

The actor had an uncredited part as Paul in the 1995 comedy film starring Chris Farley, David Spade, Bo Derek and Brian Dennehy ... but Rob says that credit list needs to change -- pronto! -- in an open letter to Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison.

Rob posted the letter to his X account Thursday night ... and, we gotta admit, it all sounds like a joke. Kicking things off, Rob says among the "long-standing, important and unresolved issues" is his lack of credit on "Tommy Boy."

Pixar’s longest-running franchise is back -- and the first "Toy Story 5" trailer just hit our childhood right in the midlife crisis ... 'cause Woody’s rocking a full-on bald spot!

The chaos kicks off with Bonnie glued to her new Lilypad smart table -- forcing Jessie, Forky, Slinky Dog, Hamm, Trixie, an army of Buzz Lightyears & co to drag Woody out of retirement after he rode off into the sunset with Bo Peep.

Quinton Aaron is well on the road to recovery and looking great ... according to this first photo of the actor since he was hospitalized for a spinal stroke last month.

Check out the pic, provided by Quinton to us ... we're told it was taken last week, and as you can see, the 'Blind Side' star is in great spirits -- throwing up a peace sign while hanging with his younger brother, Jarred.

We’re told Jarred has not left Quinton’s bedside, and the bond between the two remains strong.

The release of this photo follows news of Jarred's restraining order against Margarita Aaron -- the woman who allegedly misrepresented herself as Quinton's wife to both Quinton and the medical staff tending to him.

Avan Jogia’s soooo ridiculously fine, he had our field producer Seleah Bussey falling for him -- literally (!!!) -- and yes, we got the dramatic mid-interview wipeout on camera!!

Catch the clip ... Avan didn’t miss a beat, rushing to help her up like a total gentleman … even checking on her with a smooth "you okay, lovely?" that honestly could’ve finished the job. 🥰

Shia LaBeouf was arrested in New Orleans this week on two counts of simple battery charges ... and TMZ has learned some colleagues were concerned about him while shooting his latest film.

The veteran actor finished filming "The Rooster Prince" just a few months ago ... and TMZ is told he showed some troubling signs at times.

Our sources say that, for the most part, LaBeouf was a consummate pro ... but they say he also displayed erratic behavior ... including intense mood swings. We're told it was enough that some peeps on set wondered if he might be facing personal troubles -- especially given his checkered past.

James Van Der Beek was working right up until the end ... and now fans are getting a chilling first look at his final film role, with the former teen heartthrob stepping into seriously sinister territory.

A week after James died from stage 3 colorectal cancer at 48, Lionsgate has dropped the first trailer for the thriller "The Gates" ... casting him as a creepy pastor named Jacob, who's witnessed committing a murder by three college students cutting through a remote gated community.

James fully leaned into the darkness, delivering a spine-tingling performance that fans can catch when "The Gates" hits theaters March 13.

Mia Goth may be separated from her estranged husband Shia LaBeouf ... but she's still affected by his latest alleged antics in New Orleans.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Mia is "concerned" about Shia. As you know ... the 39-year-old "Transformers" star got his ass handed to him on video yesterday after headbutting someone and allegedly punching people at a bar. He was later arrested and charged with 2 counts of simple battery.

Our sources tell us ... Mia is over Shia after they separated about a year ago, but speaks to him when he wants to connect with their daughter, Isabel, who was born in 2022.

According to our sources ... Shia loves his daughter and has a good relationship with her.

Tom Noonan -- the longtime actor best known for his roles in "Last Action Hero" and "Robocop 2" -- has died, TMZ has learned.

Noonan died last Saturday, and his death was confirmed by director Fred Dekker, who wrote on Facebook, "It’s with great sadness that I share the passing of Tom Noonan … Tom’s indelible performance as Frankenstein in THE MONSTER SQUAD is a highlight of my modest filmography, doubtless aided by the masterful make-up designed by Stan Winston, sculpted by Tom Woodruff Jr., and applied by Zoltan Elek."

Dekker's lengthy statement also included some memories from their time working on "The Monster Squad" ... before ending with, "he was the proverbial gentleman and scholar, and the world has lost a great talent. R.I.P. Tom. Thanks for the great work."

Shia LaBeouf was back in the French Quarter, on Bourbon Street, for another night of debauchery after his arrest Mardis Gras morning ... and pretended he wasn't famous as fellow partiers approached him!

Check out the footage of him from fellow Mardi Gras attendees in New Orleans -- the former Disney star is super nonchalant as he's approached by a streamer ... and claims he's not anyone famous. Yet, he's got no problem talking to the thrilled fans eager to get a word in with him.

In other video, he's happily waving his release papers as he vibes with the crowd. Court docs obtained by TMZ confirm he was released from jail on his own recognizance ... which means he was let out of the clink without paying bail.
