Daniel Craig is so over the James Bond franchise -- the 007 agent is officially off his radar, and he couldn't care less about what's next for the iconic character.

The British actor was asked to write down how many Bond films he’s been in while plugging his new movie "Queer" with co-star Drew Starkey ... and, if his body language didn’t give it away, his response to Variety definitely did -- there's no love lost for 007.

Clearly, Craig isn't keeping tabs on his Bond filmography -- he shot back during their fun whiteboard game ... asking, "Are you asking me that? Do I have to write the answer? I’m gonna get it wrong."

Dustin Hoffman had a wild run-in with the paps -- not by clashing with them, but by playing hide-and-seek in plain sight!

Dustin made it crystal clear it was all fun and games -- after a few seconds, he popped back into full view, chuckling to himself, waving at the photogs, and strolling over to the valet area.

Ariana Grande just got a major apology from her "Wicked" costar Bowen Yang, who’s apparently still cringing over that smooch they shared in an 'SNL' sketch last month.

On Wednesday’s episode of the "Las Culturistas" podcast, Bowen said he just had to apologize to her for opening his mouth "too much" during their kiss -- and the star agreed, admitting she was left shaking afterward, but not in a bad way ... more in a "disarming" way.

It was all laughs from there -- Bowen kept on apologizing, but Ariana assured him she had no hard feelings.

Mark Wahlberg's Mexican restaurant went up in flames in Nevada ... and the footage showing Wednesday night's fire is downright shocking.

One movie sticks out to Tom and Conan ... his 1996 flick "That Thing You Do!" It was Tom's debut as a screenwriter and director and it got bad reviews at first, but now it's considered a cult classic and Tom says one critic who ripped the film is now doing a 180.

Martha Stewart's criticism of Ryan Reynolds' "very serious" off-camera persona should be taken with a grain of salt ... given the fact the actor's been quite vocal about his past anxiety hurdles.

As our source puts it ... Blake Lively's husband likes being quiet over being "on" ALL the time.

Freddie Gibbs just dropped a surprise album using Freddy Krueger's scare tactics and it's already winning over hardcore rap fans ... just ask one of the biggest, LeBron James!!!

TMZ Hip Hop recently linked with FG and his A&R, Norva Denton, at his pop-up shop for his new "You Only Die 1nce" album released on Friday ... after he plastered Hollywood with nightmarish billboards to resemble Elm Street right before Halloween!!!

Freddie's steadily getting praised for his rapping ability, and the first listen impressed LBJ so much he had to post on social media about it.

We spotted the promo a couple weeks ago and connected the dots ... Freddie says he called up FK actor Robert Englund, who happily obliged to do the voiceover and give Freddie's hip hop peers the same unnerving Krueger haunted him with as a kid.

Because of his reputation as a skilled MC, we also got Freddie's take on why the BET Hip Hop Awards cut out its biggest draw this year -- the rapping ciphers that have been going viral for many years.

Freddie tells us today's talent flat-out sucks at rapping, but he doesn't have that ailment, so here were are.

Selena Gomez came in hot, shutting down body-shamers who had the audacity to troll her look at last week’s "Emilia Pérez" premiere in L.A.

In a now-deleted TikTok post, trolls in the comments claimed Selena was "hiding" her body by posing with her hands across her stomach at the American French Film Festival -- but the actress hit back in the comments, saying it made her "sick" to see people coming for her weight.

Selena set the record straight, explaining her pose was because of a SEBO flare-up in her small intestine -- a bacterial overgrowth condition that causes bloating, pain, and other not-so-glamorous symptoms.
