10:32 AM PT -- Megan Thee Stallion's admission she lied to Gayle King about having sex with Tory Lanez is catching the attention of Tory's legal team.

Ceasar McDowell, CEO of Unite the People, the nonprofit law firm that reps Tory, tells TMZ ...

If someone lies in front of millions of people, how can you trust what they say any other time?"

Sydney Sweeney is officially Hollywood's hottest commodity, and her bank account is sizzling too -- she's now one of the highest-paid actresses of her generation, thanks to some major film paydays.

The actress recently locked in a sweet deal with Lionsgate for the thriller "The Housemaid," scoring a hefty $7.5 million salary -- putting her right up there with top dogs like her "Euphoria" costar Zendaya, who raked in $10 million for her tennis flick, "Challengers."

Unlike Zendaya, Sydney didn’t kick things off as a child star, so her rapid ascent to the top of Hollywood's A-list over the past few years is seriously impressive.
