Leonardo DiCaprio is on the hunt for some new artwork, but it appears he isn't consulting a very important person in his life ... model girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti.

The Oscar winner hit up an Art Basel event in Miami Tuesday evening, where he flew noticeably solo while checking out the wide array of art offered up.

While Leo and Vittoria have been seen together on dates and vacations across the globe, LD found himself at the center of quite the sausage fest ... mingling with a group of art bros instead of his usual brunette arm candy.

There's a new "Lord of the Rings" movie set to debut next week ... and some of the franchise's brightest stars reunited at the premiere to support the upcoming project.

Check it out ... Cate Blanchett showed up at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square Tuesday evening for the London premiere of "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim" -- a new animated movie that takes place nearly 200 years before the events of 'Fellowship of the Ring.'

Unsurprisingly, Cate dressed to impress for the industry event, rocking a dark top with an extremely deep-V neckline, an oversized gray blazer and matching slacks. The actress -- who played elf Galadriel in all three of Peter Jackson's 'LOTR' movies -- rounded out her look with a chunky gold necklace, a number of earrings, and a chic bob.

Barry Keoghan is focusing on his job in the wake of his split from Sabrina Carpenter ... shooting movie scenes in downtown Los Angeles after news of their breakup.

The Irish actor was spotted on the set of "Crime 101" ... rocking platinum blond hair for some scenes at a Denny's ... the first time we've seen Barry since the split.

Barry appeared to have a motorcycle helmet and jacket in hand as he walked into the store as cameras were rolling. The thriller is due out next year and his costars include Halle Berry, Chris Hemsworth and Nick Nolte ... among others.

Disney fans have nothing to worry about ... 'cause the upcoming horror flick based on "Steamboat Willie" is not going to undo any of Mickey's magic, says a star of "Screamboat."

Here's the deal ... the ultra-bloody indie horror movie takes the OG Mickey Mouse character and drops him in a slasher film -- all thanks to the character now being in the public domain.

Tyler Posey, who stars in "Screamboat," tells TMZ ... there is nothing for Mouseketeers to worry about ... 'cause the the killer rodent in his movie is clearly not Mickey.

Joe Burrow might've just earned himself a new nickname, 'cause the Cincinnati Bengals superstar is transforming into Batman right before our eyes ... thanks to his expensive new purchase -- a fully functional Batmobile!!

The quarterback revealed his new toy to his teammates during the premiere episode of "Hard Knocks: In Season With The AFC North" on Tuesday ... saying he's secured the new whip -- but will have to wait a year to get it in his possession.

Burrow couldn't contain his excitement to his receivers, Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase ... and they even joked about how the signal-caller needs to go one step further and get himself an accompanying Batsuit so he can really show up to games in style.

Wicked cool moment on Drew Barrymore's talk show ... she surprised "Wicked" star Ariana Grande with the original Glinda wand from the movie that started it all.

Ariana is a guest on Thursday's episode of "The Drew Barrymore Show" and a preview shows the moment Drew brings out the wand ... completely stunning Ariana.

Of course, Ariana plays Glinda in the new "Wicked" movie ... so it was only natural Drew pulled out all the stops to get the wand from the 1939 flick.

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan are reportedly going their separate ways after dating for about a year.

According to People ... the pop star and the Irish actor have called it quits on their romance, despite being inseparable for much of the past year.

Los Angeles County's new District Attorney Nathan Hochman was sworn in by Arnold Schwarzenegger Tuesday at the Hall of Justice in downtown L.A.

Hochman is replacing outgoing D.A. George Gascón, who Nathan says was way too soft on violent and repeat offenders during his 4-year term ... and apparently voters agreed.

It's fitting ... Hochman says he's going to terminate a lot of the policies he calls lenient that Gascón was known for ... like not prosecuting drug possession and trespassing offenses ... and he's turning to the "Terminator" star -- and former California governor -- to get his first day in office started.

Ariana Grande can't believe "Wicked" defied the odds by becoming the highest-grossing Broadway musical movie adaptation ever ... calling the flick's growing popularity "surreal."

We caught up with the pop star outside CBS Studios in NYC on Tuesday, where she met with her adoring fans and signed a number of autographs -- feeling as "Popular" as ever.

However, Ari made it clear she's blown away by audiences' response to the movie ... noting she and her "Wicked" peers are all moved by the worldwide attention.

Cynthia Erivo is doubling down on her singing in theaters stance ... so much so, she's teasing an appearance at the upcoming sing-along screenings.

We caught up with the "Wicked" star in NYC, where she made it clear she's excited for the sing-along version of the movie to hit theaters Christmas Day. In fact, she told us she "might attend one" ... though, didn't share specifics on the where and the when.

This is likely due to safety, given the fact "Wicked" continues to dominate box offices across the globe ... sparking quite a bit of awards chatter for the Broadway veteran.

Awards season is well underway with the 2024 Gotham Awards bringing out a number of notable stars ... including Nicole Kidman, Zendaya and Timothée Chalamet, among others.

The industry event, which took place in New York City Monday evening, celebrated the best independent projects in film and television ... meaning blockbusters like "Wicked" and "Gladiator II" were not at the forefront of people's minds.

However, this didn't mean there wasn't star power in attendance ... as we mentioned, Zendaya popped by in a striking white halter gown -- her film "Challengers" was up for best feature at the award show. She also took home a prize herself, winning the Spotlight Tribute for her work in the sexually-charged tennis drama.

Malcolm Barrett, known for his TV roles in "The Boys" and "Average Joe," is currently under investigation for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman ... TMZ has learned.

According to our sources, the woman told deputies that she and Barrett had been friends for months, and the night started off pretty normal with drinks in L.A. ... with the drinks continuing at his place before the alleged assault.

American actor Paul Le Mat was in his 20s when he became known for playing John Milner -- the drag racing, rebellious "King of the Strip" and car enthusiast-- in the 1973 film "American Graffiti."

Paul shared the big screen with Ron Howard as the recent high school graduate and class president gearing up for college, Steve, Richard Dreyfuss as Steve's bestie with the college scholarship, Curt and Harrison Ford as the cocky out-of-town challenger proving his Chevy is the best, Bob.

Le Mat's role in "American Graffiti" landed him the lead role in "Aloha, Bobby and Rose" in 1975.

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are getting in the holiday spirit ... shopping for the perfect tree to decorate and surround with presents.

The "Wicked" stars, who are also dating, were on the hunt for a Christmas tree over the weekend in New York City ... stopping the search to take a photo with actress Ally Bouska.

The tree excursion comes amid a super successful run for Ariana and Ethan's musical ... the flick is now the highest-grossing movie based on a musical of all time ... raking in $263.1 million and counting.

Planned Parenthood is jumping on the "Wicked" hype train ... using the popular musical as a way to break the ice about sexually transmitted infections.

Ya gotta see the latest social media post from Planned Parenthood ... a play on the "Wicked" musical poster posing this all-important question ... "Is your discharge green?"

The nonprofit, which provides sexual healthcare across the country, gets even naughtier in the caption, writing ... "If you're experiencing wicked sexual and reproductive health care concerns, Planned Parenthood health centers are holding space to help — even if your p***y's green."

Kristin Chenoweth may have nailed Glinda on Broadway, but she was all about a wicked smooth transition while passing the baton to Ariana Grande on the set of the "Wicked" movie.

The stage star shared some behind-the-scenes magic on X, posting pics of her and Ariana rocking matching custom pink Glinda jackets while filming ... explaining she had surprised her with the outfits as a "little physical memento of our 'passing of the wand.'"

In true Glinda form, Kristin said she was all about leading Ariana down the yellow brick road -- or any road, really -- and couldn't be prouder of her!
