Mel Gibson clearly brought energy to the "Flight Risk" set as director ... emanating the intensity of his iconic character William Wallace in a promo pushing his newest film -- face paint and all.

Two promotional clips were recently released to promote the new flick starring Mark Wahlberg, Topher Grace and Michelle Dockery ... and, in one he tells his actors that more is more -- so, they gotta give it all they got.

Gibson, in his director's chair, then picks up a sword when he means to grab his megaphone ... jokingly slicing his hand open on the sharp blade.

Miguel A Núñez Jr. says if 'juwanna' dress in drag for a role as an actor, that's fine by him ... but, he says Black actors who do it are held to an entirely different standard than their white counterparts.

We caught up with the star, who played the title character in the hit 2002 film "Juwanna Mann" -- a man pretending to be a woman to keep playing pro basketball -- and asked him about Martin Lawrence saying he's not above wearing a dress for a role.

Lawrence said he's comfortable with his manhood, so wearing a dress doesn't bug him ... and, Núñez agrees -- pointing out tons of white actors wear dresses for their roles and they only ever seem to receive praise.

Megan Thee Stallion is shining bright at Paris Fashion Week ... in a silver number reminiscent of one Aaliyah's most iconic looks.

Check it out ... the "Mamushi" rapper hit Gaurav Gupta's Haute Couture Spring/Summer fashion show in Paris on Wednesday, where she wore a stunning metal ensemble with striking chain drip covering her from head to toe.

If the couture look is familiar to some of you, you're not alone ... Megan's outfit -- which included several silver payals and threads -- is similar to a get-up worn by the late singer Aaliyah in 2002's "Queen of the Damned."

Dua Lipa’s boo, Callum Turner, really showed her what the City of Love is all about -- ’cause the two lit up Paris with a seriously adorable lovefest.

Check out the clip -- ’cause these two were totally smitten, so much so that they started dancing right in front of the twinkling Eiffel Tower lights like they were starring in their own rom-com.

And it didn’t stop there -- Callum was all about the cuddles from behind, holding hands, and showering his GF with smooches.

Anthony Mackie says he's proud to be an American, and was speaking about what he believes Captain America embodies.

The "Captain America: Brave New World" star just responded to the pushback he's getting online over his recent comments on Cap.

Anthony says ... "Let me be clear about this, I'm a proud American and taking on the shield of a hero like CAP is the honor of a lifetime. I have the utmost respect for those who serve and have served our country. CAP has universal characteristics that people all over the world can relate to."

Joey King’s kitchen adventure took a fiery turn -- leaving her with some seriously gnarly face burns.

The actress shared a collage of her wounds on IG Stories, showing off the aftermath on her chin and neck -- thanks to a shallot toss into a pan of hot oil gone wrong.

Of course, Joey could’ve had a full-on meltdown -- she’s an actress, so burns aren’t exactly part of the glam look -- but instead, she took it all in stride.

Heather McDonald thinks fans are pointing the finger at the wrong person in the Justin Baldoni and Blake Lively "It Ends With Us" drama ... suggesting one A-list player was the real "bully."

We caught up with the comedian outside a Starbucks in Los Angeles, where she sounded off on Justin's viral 6-minute-long voice note -- which has left the Internet divided over whether it was totally creepy or not.

Heather, who admitted to flip-flopping between sides amid Justin and Blake's legal war, defends Justin ... applauding his "sexy ass voice" and notes the audio message actually highlights a once-cordial relationship between the 2 performers.

3:55 PM PT -- Anthony Mackie posted on his Instagram Story Tuesday afternoon in response to online objections to his Captain America comments, writing ... "Let me be clear about this, I'm a proud American and taking on the shield of a hero like CAP is the honor of a lifetime. I have the utmost respect for those who serve and have served our country. CAP has universal characteristics that people all over the world can relate to."

Anthony Mackie's got a brave take on his "Captain America: Brave New World" role -- and let’s just say, the Internet is NOT pledging allegiance to it.

Check out this clip from a promo event in Rome -- according to Anthony, the star-spangled hero isn’t really about repping the country, despite the moniker. Instead, he says Cap stands for a lot of different things, but not "America," specifically … and he doesn't think it should -- and yeah, that’s ruffling some feathers.

Mackie’s making it about morals over patriotism -- signifying Captain America's a man who keeps his word, has dignity, integrity, and a few other traits that go beyond just red, white, and blue.

Will Packer, a big-time Hollywood producer, is weighing in on Trump’s crackdown on anti-DEI initiatives -- telling us what really matters when it comes to hiring his team.

We caught up with Will at LAX Monday, and he had some thoughts about diversity, equity and inclusion hiring -- Hollywood’s more reactive than proactive, so expect a response to that political pendulum swing. But for him? It’s always been about hiring the best for the job -- DEI or not.

Check out the clip -- Will, the powerhouse behind "Girls Trip," "Think Like A Man," and "Ride Along," tells us many of the best people for the job just happen to be POC. That gives him a leg up on others in the biz who actively don’t prioritize hiring the most diverse and qualified talent.

The fashion elite flocked to the City of Love for Paris Fashion Week, with the biggest names showing up for the Chanel Haute Couture Spring-Summer 2025 show.

The FROW was packed with stars -- Dua Lipa was rubbing shoulders with French beauties Lily-Rose Depp and Marion Cotillard.

Ryan Day says his viral golf cart crash sucked all the mojo out of his national championship experience ... joking he felt like he was living out a scene from "Austin Powers" -- and the moment brought him back to reality real quick.

The Ohio State Buckeyes' head coach hung out with Jimmy Fallon on 'The Tonight Show' this week ... and, of course, he couldn't talk about the big win without addressing the viral golf cart incident from the tunnels of the Caesars Superdome after the victory.

Day said he hoped to use those few minutes on the cart to take a deep breath and prepare for the press conference ... but the woman behind the wheel treated it like a NASCAR race.

Timothée Chalamet might be a "Complete Unknown" in theaters ... but he certainly wasn't one at the Knicks game Monday -- 'cause Karl-Anthony Towns took some time out of his postgame routine to gift him a jersey!!

The cool scene all unfolded just after KAT and New York beat up the Memphis Grizzlies at Madison Square Garden.

The 29-year-old center walked over to the actor -- who had some sweet courtside seats for the contest -- stripped off his top, signed it and handed it over. The two then posed for a grip of pictures.

Gwyneth Paltrow reportedly raked in $22 million after selling her L.A. mansion — but she didn't come close to getting her original price.

The actress cut a deal with an unnamed buyer for her 8,000-square-foot estate in a small, fancy enclave of Brentwood known as Mandeville Canyon, according to the Wall Street Journal. The pristine residence escaped unscathed from the recent L.A. wildfires, which impacted Brentwood, among other surrounding neighborhoods.

The Journal reports Gwyneth made the sale after she slashed the listing price from $29.99 million to $24.9 million last year, but she finalized the deal at $22 million.

Megan is due to give birth in March, but we're told her relationship with MGK is so icy it's unclear how involved he will be when the baby comes.

Justin Baldoni is following through on his vow to release all his communications with Blake Lively ... revealing a nearly 7-minute apology he sent her at 2 AM while they were working on the "It Ends With Us" script.

Justin's voice note was clearly recorded shortly after the costars' now infamous meeting to discuss the movie's rooftop scene -- which Blake had rewritten -- and he's apologizing for his less than warm reaction to the changes ... saying, "I'm really sorry. I f***ed up. I will admit and apologize when I fail. I'm a very flawed man, as my wife will attest."

He continued, "I'm gonna piss you off, probably, but I will always apologize and find my way back to center. I'm sorry I made you feel that way. I will, for sure, do better."
