Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua is actually real -- the fight is set to go down in a matter of weeks!!

After his matchup with Gervonta Davis was scrapped, El Gallo will now face the former heavyweight champion in a professional bout on December 19 at the Kaseya Center in Miami ... and Netflix will be streaming the whole thing.

Joshua is by far Paul's biggest challenge to date -- he's not in his 50s (he's 36), he's not a former MMA fighter, and he's not washed.

4:14 PM PT -- Tammeil Gilkerson, chancellor of the Peralta Community College District, said in a statement to TMZ ... "There are no real words to express my profound sorrow, but it is only softened by the tremendous gratitude I feel for the opportunity I had to work alongside him. John made me laugh, infuriated me on some days, elevated my thinking, and constantly challenged me to be better for Peralta and for Oakland. I am keeping John's family, loved ones, and all of you in my thoughts and prayers."

"Last Chance U" star John Beam -- a longtime football coach who dedicated his life to helping the youth through sports -- has passed away at 66 years old after being shot on campus, Oakland P.D. confirmed on Friday.

As we previously reported, gunfire broke out on the Laney College campus on Thursday -- details surrounding the shooting were not revealed at the time ... but local outlets confirmed Beam was struck and taken to a nearby hospital.

In a press conference, Oakland PD stated Beam died Friday morning due to the injuries he suffered ... and stated it was "a very targeted situation."

9:01 AM PT -- A man was arrested in a city outside Oakland on Friday in connection to the shooting, according to local reports.

It's unclear at this time if the suspect had any ties to the football program or Coach Beam.

Will Ferrell is taking a brief breather from his new Netflix golf comedy ... 'cause a minor injury has put him on the sidelines ... TMZ has learned.

Production sources tell TMZ ... the actor recently suffered an injury off set, and while it wasn't serious, it was enough to keep him from filming scenes scheduled this week at the Bicycle Casino just outside Los Angeles.

It's unclear exactly how or where Will got hurt, but we're told the issue made it impossible for him to shoot the planned material safely or comfortably this week. Producers have temporarily rearranged the schedule while he recovers.

Millie Bobby Brown's been tight with her "Stranger Things" castmates ever since she was a kid ... and it looks like she's more than comfortable with them taking care of her daughter.

The actress spoke to "Entertainment Tonight" at the show's Season 5 premiere event on Thursday night and was asked about which of her costars she'd want to babysit her child ... turns out, the answer's all of them!

Millie singled out Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers in the hit Netflix show, and revealed he is her baby's godfather ... and it wouldn't be a stretch of the imagination to think he'll be doing a bit of babysitting in the future.

She also said Sadie Sink would be a good babysitter and described her longtime costar as "very maternal."

The actress said the show's principal cast all turn "into the most gooey soft versions of themselves" whenever her kid is around.

Oh, and several of Millie's castmates apparently put on a "baby voice" when they're around her daughter, but she didn't specify which ones.

There's been plenty of buzz about claims of on-set beef between "Stranger Things" castmates Millie Bobby Brown and David Harbour ... but the show's higher-ups say they were focused on running a tight ship while filming the show's upcoming fifth season.

FYI ... Millie allegedly filed a bullying and harassment complaint against David -- who plays her onscreen adoptive father on the hit Netflix show -- before they started working on the show's final run.

The show's co-creators, Matt and Ross Duffer, are aware of reports of the alleged bullying ... but they didn't want to talk about it at the show's Season 5 premiere event Thursday, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Mary Bonnet's had lots of success over the course of her career as a real estate agent ... and one of her proudest achievements is being able to give up drinking.

The "Selling Sunset" star spoke to Gurus Magazine and said her decision to lay off the sauce was part of a spiritual overhaul on an apparent healing journey.

George Kittle was looking to get the win AND seal the Honmoon on Sunday ... dancing his face off to a "KPop Demon Hunters" song right on the field during the 49ers' victory over the Giants!!

The All-Pro talent was asked about his jam session during his postgame availability following the 34-24 W ... and he explained the massively popular Netflix project is worth a watch.

Mexican-American actress Vanessa Villela was 43 years old when she sold her luxurious Los Angeles homes and played mediator on Netflix's popular reality real-estate show, "Selling Sunset" back in 2021.

Vanessa joined the dramatic cast that also featured Chrishell Stause ... who was going through her divorce from Justin Hartley ... and Mary Bonet, who was in the midst of a friend break-up with fellow real estate agent Christine Quinn.

Vanessa -- who's also an actress -- (attempted) to mend the fence between Christine and the other women but was unsuccessful. However, she DID sell her Malibu property 😉!

We're going to take a look into the life and times of the producer ... and see how he was allegedly involved in a troubling on-set incident.

Dramatizations of infamous serial killers use real pain to make a quick buck, and "Monster: The Ed Gein Story" is just the latest show to do it ... so says a prominent filmmaker with a connection to the series.

We spoke to Osgood Perkins -- son of the legendary actor and star of "Psycho," Anthony Perkins -- about the new series ... because his dad plays a prominent role in at least one episode.

If you haven't seen the show, or know about the story, then spoiler alert ...

Perkins played the character in the Alfred Hitchcock film classic.

The Sora A.I.-generated video tool may be the hot new toy from OpenAI ... but it’s already creating an explosion of drama -- with one influencer speaking out about how someone used it to fake a clip that made it look like she was flashing the camera!

Avori Strib tells TMZ the bogus Sora clip -- showing her exposing her chest in a deepfake video -- shines a floodlamp on the growing danger of unregulated A.I. technologies spitting out deeply invasive, harmful content -- especially using real-live people as subjects.

Strib says A.I. companies like OpenAI, Sora's parent, need to take real responsibility to protect people from privacy and identity violations.
