Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's son Maddox Jolie-Pitt appears to be following in his younger siblings' footsteps ... dropping his dad's last name professionally in the credits for his mom's new movie.

Maddox worked as an assistant director on Angelina's upcoming flick, "Couture," and in the credits he's listed as "Maddox Jolie," nothing more ... according to PEOPLE.

Brad and Angelina's eldest child was previously listed as "Maddox Jolie-Pitt" in the credits for Angelina's 2024 movie, "Maria," when he worked as a production assistant on the Netflix film.

Jonathan Majors is back on a film set more than two years after pleading guilty to assaulting his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari ... though it's not exactly a mainstream Hollywood production.

The actor who once worked in Marvel flicks is shooting a new untitled action movie in South Carolina for The Daily Wire ... the conservative media company founded by Ben Shapiro and film producer Jeremy Boreing.

The other actors in the movie and the plot are being kept under wraps ... but the flick is supposed to be in the vein "Red Dawn" and "Toy Soldiers" -- two movies about groups of teenagers fighting off invaders.

Cops were called out to Shia LaBeouf's New Orleans home a few times prior to his Mardi Gras arrest -- including once for an alleged fight between exes that allegedly included a punch below the belt ... according to police records obtained by TMZ.

Docs show a call for service at a NOLA home belonging to Shia for an alleged incident in early February between an unnamed man and the man's ex-girlfriend.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, cops say the man told police he was inside his home Feb 8. around 11:30 PM showing the place to his girlfriend when he heard a knock at the door and saw his ex-girlfriend entering the home and running toward them.

4:27 PM PT -- A representative for Crispin Glover tells us ... "Mr. Glover denies these baseless allegations in the strongest possible terms."

The rep claims ... "The reality is that on March 2, 2024, Mr. Glover was the victim of an unprovoked felony assault by Jane Doe at his Los Angeles residence.  Mr. Glover called LAPD, which came to the scene, investigated, and arrested Jane Doe.  These facts are documented by law enforcement records and by the restraining order filed by Mr. Glover against Jane Doe at that time."

The statement ends with ... "Mr. Glover intends to vigorously defend himself and pursue all available relief.  He is confident the judicial process will expose this lawsuit as a meritless fabrication."

"Back To The Future" star Crispin Glover manipulated a model from the United Kingdom to be his live-in girlfriend in Los Angeles and work for him for free ... then he locked her out of his home and beat the crap out of her ... and now she says she's homeless -- this all according to a new lawsuit.

Crispin is being sued by a Jane Doe, who claims Crispin lured her from Europe to L.A. with false promises of a new life and career in Hollywood ... only for Crispin to allegedly turn out to be a violent control freak.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman claims she met Crispin through social media in 2015 and he would persistently message her for years to come to L.A.. According to the woman, he made strange advances ... and when they met in person in 2023 in Dresden, Germany, she claims he showed her Nazi memorabilia from his collection.

With "Scary Movie 6" hitting theaters this year, we got Carmen Electra to dish on how she thinks the raunchy film franchise will do in the age of "cancel culture."

Remember ... Carmen starred in the first installment of the film franchise in 2000, which contained at least one or two jokes that wouldn't pass today. But Carmen says the Wayans brothers are skilled enough to make a comedy for any time.

She told us, "I haven't seen the script, so I'm not exactly sure what the new 'Scary Movie' is exactly going to be about. But I think for the most part, it's so lighthearted and as long as it's in the right context, I think it'll be okay."

Hailee Steinfeld is getting closer and closer to her due date ... and as she awaits her baby's arrival, she dropped a series of new pics of her growing bump, including one with her NFL husband, Josh Allen.

The next pics show Steinfeld proudly showcasing her popping baby bump in a variety of outfits ... something she said she recently feels excited to embrace.

"Now, I feel like I've finally rounded the corner," Steinfeld said. "Over the past few weeks, I've felt energized to get dressed and put together cute little outfits for dinners with friends or just to run out to the grocery store."

Before this lil' girl dressed to the 9s turned into a shining star, she was just runnin' the concrete jungle with huge goals and aspirations ...

Her success led to popular films like "Slums of Beverly Hills" and "American Pie."

Can you guess who she is?

Here's another fun one for ya' ... See if you can find the matching pairs:

Rob Reiner gave Jerry O'Connell his first job in "Stand By Me" ... and Jerry told us the late director's murder case is so emotional for him, he may not be able to watch the trial of Rob's son.

We caught up with Jerry in NYC, where he told us all he cares about regarding the case is the Reiner family.

He said, "The only thing I wish for is that this is not a strain on the family ... I just hope it does not become a circus."

The death of Robert Carradine has shocked Hollywood ... but TMZ has learned there was a troubling sign on his final film project, according to one of his most recent colleagues.

Connie Lamothe, director of "The Driver" -- AKA "Driving into Darkness" -- tells TMZ … she's shocked and devastated about "Bobby's" death … but she knew there was something wrong when he went MIA from her film prior to the table read this week.

Everything was finally back on track and moving along well after the project got derailed by the pandemic … but then in January, Connie tells us Robert went radio silent. Producers had no idea where he was or what was going on. They were worried ... but a friend who is also in the cast knew of his struggles with mental health. So, they decided to give him some space ... and hoped he would return.

Kim Kardashian just linked up with 50 Cent ... and no, this isn’t a random photo op, 'cause the two were spotted rolling onto set together to shoot the new Netflix film, "The Fifth Wheel."

Cameras caught the pair between takes of a club scene -- and yes, we were the ones who broke the news 50 joined the cast.

There's continued fallout from the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) N-word controversy ... a Black jury member just quit over the org's "utterly unforgivable" handling of the situation.

As we reported ... John Davidson was heard shouting the N-word during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation Sunday night. Host Alan Cumming did his best to address the incident, but many people were still upset about what happened -- and demanded answers.

Jonte Richardson resigned Tuesday from BAFTA’s emerging talent judging panel ... making it clear the handling of the incident -- and initial lack thereof -- was unacceptable.

American actress Loryn Locklin was 21 years old when she played the super sexy daughter, Jewel Bentley, in the 1990 classic "Taking Care of Business."

Locklin shared the big screen with Jim Belushi as Jimmy Dworski and Charles Grodin as Spencer Barnes.

Test your Jim Belushi trivia:

The Tourette's activist who created a firestorm when he shouted the N-word during the The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) has broken his silence.

As we reported ... John Davidson was heard shouting the N-word during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation last night. Host Alan Cumming did his best to address the incident, but plenty were still heated about what happened -- and wanted answers.

Clearly, the Academy felt the heat ... because the organization just dropped a full-throated apology, saying in part ... "We take full responsibility for putting our guests in a very difficult situation and we apologize to all. We will learn from this, and keep inclusion at the core of all we do, maintaining our belief in film and storytelling as a critical conduit for compassion and empathy."

Delroy Lindo is finally addressing that shocking moment at the BAFTAs -- and he’s making it clear he wasn’t thrilled with how it was handled.

The "Sinners" star says he wished someone from BAFTA personally checked in with him or Michael B. Jordan after Tourette Syndrome activist John Davidson yelled the N-word while they were onstage presenting at the BAFTAs Sunday evening.

Speaking to Vanity Fair at the Warner Bros. afterparty, Delroy said both he and Michael did what they had to do -- and that was keep it moving and calmly finish presenting their award.
