It’s been nearly 3 weeks since the deadly Palisades and Eaton wildfires destroyed more than 16,000 structures in the Los Angeles area ... and we’re learning some iconic Hollywood filming locations no longer exist.

Photos and video show several historic spots now gone, consumed by blazes that have claimed the lives of 28 people since the fires began the first week of January.

Palisades Charter High School -- the campus featured in the MTV series “Teen Wolf,” the high-school party flick “Project X,” and the '70s horror movie classic “Carrie” -- sustained substantial damage.

Justin Baldoni is ripping Blake Lively, claiming she cherry-picked facts for the NY Times hit piece against him ... and he's planning to do the opposite to get the truth out.

Blake just filed new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, saying Justin's attorney Bryan Freedman is trying to taint the jury pool and influence court proceedings and public perception with his comments in the media, plus an upcoming website Justin's launching.

Bryan's firing back at Blake, telling TMZ ... the motive behind the Baldoni website is to "do the exact opposite" of what he claims Blake and husband Ryan Reynolds did "when they gave provable false information to the New York Times."

1:24 PM PT -- Trump Administration Border Czar Tom Homan responded to Selena's post during an appearance on Fox News Monday morning, disputing any families were arrested, saying public safety and national security threats were targeted  ... and he urged critics who don't like the increased enforcement to "go to Congress and change the law."

Selena Gomez has issued a tearful apology to her "people" ... after the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency arrested nearly 1,000 migrants in one day following Donald Trump's return to office.

The pop star posted to her Instagram Stories early Monday morning, where she openly sobbed while reflecting on the recent arrests. Benny Blanco's fiancée noted how "sorry" she was over the news and declared her people were "getting attacked."

Selena appeared most rattled about "the children" being taken in raids ... a clear reference to the president's recent authorization allowing ICE to target schools and churches moving forward.

Jennifer Lopez is not just famous for her music and movies, but also her voluptuous booty ... just ask the guy who fell under its trance at the Sundance Film Festival.

J Lo looked amazing in her black lace gown as she strolled into the Sunday night premiere of her film, "Kiss of the Spider Woman" in Salt Lake City, Utah -- and, of course, she was the center of everyone's attention, and one fella in particular.

Check out this photo ... which shows the man standing behind J Lo with his eyes laser locked on her shapely butt. The dude definitely had the best view of anyone in the place -- and J Lo seemed oblivious to his attention.

Bradley Cooper's going to be all nerves when his Philadelphia Eagles kickoff their game Sunday ... but, he was able to enjoy a relaxing pregame moment on the field before the match -- chatting up his former costar Terry Bradshaw.

The actor stopped by the set of "Fox NFL Sunday" -- the broadcast network's popular pregame show -- and, dapped up the former Pittsburgh Steelers star while live on-air.

BC says he wanted to come by and say hi to Terry because they worked on the movie "Failure to Launch" -- starring Matthew McConaughey and Sarah Jessica Parker -- back in 2006, and they've remained good friends since.

Timothée Chalamet hasn't won a single award for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in, "A Complete Unknown," but, turns out, he's kinda used to losing, at this point ... and has no problem poking fun at himself over it.

The actor hosted 'SNL' for the third time last night -- with girlfriend Kylie Jenner nowhere in sight -- and, during his monologue, he acknowledged all the acclaim and nominations he's gotten for the Dylan biopic, but he doesn't seem hopeful about taking home any hardware.

Timothée kicked off the bit by pointing out he just keeps losing at award shows and it's getting harder each time to smile and act like he's chill about it.

Justin Baldoni won't be "bullied" by Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, his lawyer says ... claiming their recent court filings show how scared they truly are.

Bryan Freedman -- Baldoni's lawyer -- tells TMZ ... Blake's team asking a judge for a gag order to stop Freedman and co. from talking about the case to the media is an ironic attempt to gag the truth in a case where she claims she wants all the facts to come out.

BF says the A-List couple have wielded power in Hollywood built on "pure fear" cultivated by both themselves and their powerful friends in entertainment ... but, that all ended when they reached out to the New York Times for what Freedman calls a "well calculated hit piece."

Brad Pitt was spotted for the first time since finalizing his divorce from Angelina Jolie ... and as per usual, he looked effortlessly cool AF.

Brad's got the rugged leading man look presently, sporting a bushy grey beard the other day ... with a 'fit that included silver sunglasses, a white bucket hat, and a tote bag -- decorated with his initials.

As TMZ previously reported ... Brad and Angelina finalized their divorce at the end of last year ... more than 8 years after their divorce began -- all the way back in September 2016!

Justin Baldoni’s wife is speaking out and throwing her full support behind her filmmaker husband amid his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively, who has accused him of sexual harassment.

Emily Baldoni jumped on Instagram Friday, posting a family photo of her kissing Justin on the lips with their two kids around them near the ocean.

In the caption, Emily wished Justin a happy birthday after he turned 41 yesterday -- describing him as her love, husband and father. She noted, “I’d choose you again and again."

Jennifer Lopez capped off what was likely a busy week, which included maybe finding a new crib ... stepping out Friday night looking gorgeous in green.

J Lo was snapped while out to celebrate her manager Benny Medina's birthday at Novikov in Beverly Hills ... in a stylish dress that highlighted her toned legs.

As TMZ reported yesterday ... Jennifer may have found a new home in Brentwood ... a source telling us there is one in particular -- off the market for $20 million -- she really digs ... but she is worried about the air quality after the devastating wildfires.

Woody Harrelson's brother Brett Harrelson isn't ruling out the possibility they are half-bros with Matthew McConaughey ... and says he might have to start pinching hairs from the famed duo to find out.

We got Brett out in Bev Hills -- seemed to be on a date -- when he told us MC's the one holding up things, because Matthew doesn't want to possibly find out the guy he thought was his father his whole life isn't actually related to him. His dad, James, died in 1992.

Still, Brett says Woody's been working on his longtime pal, trying to convince him that finding out he has new brothers might be worth the overall shock.

Ryan Reynolds made a surprise appearance at Radio City Music Hall on Friday night to support Hugh Jackman ... while the legal battle between Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni has escalated severely.

RR honored his Marvel costar and best mate at the opening night of Hugh's one-man show "From New York, With Love" ... offering a combination of ball-breaking and deep admiration for his fellow actor.

The few minutes were sweet and moving ... but odds are the war between RR's wife and Baldoni was on audience members' minds -- as that got even uglier this week ... and it looks to get worse.

It's worth noting Ryan has only made a few public appearances since the all-out war broke out ... at events without press ... who'd pepper him to address the situation ... much like this one.

Hollywood is setting up shop in Utah ... because celebs are piling into a small ski town for a famous movie festival.

Sundance kicked off Friday and famous folks like Conan O'Brien and Rose Byrne made some of the first appearances.

"Wicked" star Cynthia Erivo made it to the snow-covered town too ... no word if she rode in on a broom.

8:40 AM PT -- A source connected to the film tells TMZ ... the film is not imperiled, and there will be re-shoots in March. The source declined to comment on whether the re-shoots have to do with eliminating the scenes involving Jordan Chandler.

One of Michael Jackson's accusers is the reason the highly-anticipated biopic will be delayed 6 months -- specifically, it's the film's reference to Jordan Chandler that has the production in total chaos.

Director Antoine Fuqua had already completed filming of "Michael," when it was announced late last year the scheduled April release date was being pushed to November 2025 -- and that's because they have to rewrite a chunk of the script related to Chandler ... according to Puck.

Basically, someone forgot some key details in Jackson's $23 million settlement with Jordy's family back in 1993. The whole storyline of "Michael" reportedly begins and ends with the then-13-year-old's accusation Jackson molested him ... and the movie aims to convince you Michael was completely innocent.

Don Cheadle isn't changing his opinion about President Trump one bit ... and he's got some strong feelings about his consequential first few days back in the White House.

TMZ caught up with DC Thursday at LAX, where he said his emotions about the prez are already well-documented, but he emphasized ... "He's not starting off great, clearly."

Don wasn't specific, but seems like he's referring to Trump's boatload of executive orders signed hours after his inauguration, including one outlawing DEI, and another declaring there are only two sexes -- male and female.

Benedict Cumberbatch is looking back on a "near-death" experience from over 20 years ago ... when he says he was abducted and robbed while traveling abroad.

The British actor opened up to Variety about the harrowing ordeal, where he claimed he was kidnapped and robbed by 6 men while in South Africa filming BBC's "To the Ends of the Earth" in 2004.

Benedict said the incident occurred after a diving excursion with friends, and their group ended up with a blown-out tire -- stranding them on the side of the road.
