Bryan Cranston dug up some holes ... and buried Shia LaBeouf in the process.

The brutal moment happened during his Esquire sit-down with 'Malcolm in the Middle' costar Frankie Muniz ... when Muniz got candid about a major career fork in the road. He revealed he was locked in to star in “Holes” before “Agent Cody Banks” got the green light -- forcing him to choose.

“I immediately picked Agent Cody Banks,” Muniz said … admitting people around him were pushing him toward “Holes” because it was “a little more dramatic.”

1:47 PM PT -- Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that David Charvet has been cleared of criminal wrongdoing.

9:07 AM PT -- A law enforcement source tells TMZ ... they do not consider the incident a hit-and-run since David called authorities after it happened -- even if he was not directly on scene. A deputy is with Vera and her family right now, taking a "traffic collision" report.

Info being gathered includes whether the dog died -- and whether it was leashed at the time. Vera told us yes, the dog died, and yes, her three dogs were on a leash.

However, David claims the dog was NOT on a leash at the time of the collision -- and he tried to swerve to avoid hitting the dog.

Mckenna Grace might be a new, meddling kid in the "Scooby-Doo" legacy ... but, she's still got a love for the classic Daphnes -- including Sarah Michelle Gellar!

We caught up with the star at the airport early Wednesday morning ... and, jinkies, did she have a lot to say about her new role in the new series!

Check it out, gang ... we asked Mckenna if she's drawing inspiration from past "Scooby-Doo" movies -- animated or otherwise -- for her upcoming role in the live-action series as Daphne, and she says she's watched a large swath of the animated material out there.

Luke Gulbranson is brushing off his reality TV past as he dives into politics ... saying voters in Minnesota aren’t checking his IMDb -- they’re checking their wallets.

The “Summer House” alum popped in to "TMZ Live" after he filed to run for Congress in Minnesota’s 8th District … and while plenty of folks recognize him, he says that’s not what matters on the ground.

“A lot of people know who I am,” Gulbranson told us, “but I’ve never lost touch with who I am ... I’m just a kid from the Iron Range.”

For Katy Perry, the day that Ruby Rose says ended in an alleged sexual assault started the complete opposite -- light, loud, and carefree -- and TMZ’s got a pic and a video from that very night 16 years ago.

Check it out ... Katy was all smiles on August 15, 2010, crashing a high school prom at Melbourne’s Grand Hyatt, where she grabbed a mic and belted out a few songs, including Beyoncé's "Single Ladies." Ruby was with her at the time, though she’s nowhere to be seen in the shots.

From there, the pair later hit Melbourne nightclub Spice Market -- the same spot Ruby claims things took a dark turn. Since the "Orange Is the New Black" star came forward with these allegations ... a police probe has been sparked in Australia.

Katy Perry is being investigated by the police in Australia following Ruby Rose's shocking claims the singer sexually assaulted her over 15 years ago.

In a statement to TMZ, the Victoria Police say detectives are investigating a historical sexual assault that occurred in Melbourne in 2010, adding that the incident allegedly occurred at a licensed premises in the Central Business District.

As a result, Ruby wrote on Threads she's no longer allowed to speak about the case after the actress filed a police report with her allegations against Katy, who categorially denies the incident.

Allison Williams is playing it very safe right now -- sidestepping any drama tied to her former "Girls" costar Lena Dunham and her claims about Adam Driver.

Check the clip -- Allison says she’s only made it through the "Girls" table read section of Lena’s new memoir, so she’s not weighing in on the actor and his alleged behavior just yet.

Allison kept things cool, calm, and collected during the red carpet Variety interview Tuesday, hinting at no personal drama or similar experiences with Adam herself -- simply adding that she loves Lena and their bond runs deep.

ICYMI, Lena’s book "Famesick" takes aim at Adam -- who played her boyfriend on the HBO show -- accusing him of explosive tantrums, screaming matches, and even damaging property on set.

Sydney Sweeney ain't giving up her American Eagle jeans even after the polarizing ad fallout from last fall ... 'cause she's back with another collab to support the brand's new shorts ahead of summer!

Check out her new campaign titled "Syd for Short: American Eagle Jean Shorts." The "Euphoria" star's new pics are giving fun and flirty this time around, opposing the sultry vibes from her last denim campaign with AE.

Syd looks spirited and playful in a campaign video while poking fun at the virality of her last work with AE, asking the camera, "What brand am I wearing?" before giving a knowing smile and saying, "Yeah, that one."

Just like Sydney's first AE collab, this round of designs includes cute custom styles that will support the Crisis Text Line -- a nonprofit that provides 24/7 mental health support -- when purchased.

Jay Ellis says aging out of Coachella is real ... and the warning signs come fast.

We caught up with “Insecure” actor outside LAX on Monday and hit him with the question plenty of 30- and 40-somethings are quietly asking themselves: When are you officially too old for the annual music festival?

“I think you're too old for Coachella when you’ve got to think about going to Coachella,” Ellis told us.

While he isn’t putting a number on it, he is laying down the law on when it’s time to hang up your festival wristband ... watch the clip for the lowdown!

It also happens to be SMG's birthday, which fans adopted as International Buffy Day.

Howard Stern’s former assistant wants a pretty big chunk of his massive fortune, seeking millions in damages from the shock jock ... this, according to new court docs filed in her lawsuit.

Lena Dunham is calling out her former "Girls" costar Adam Driver ... claiming he threw insane tantrums on set, screaming in her face and damaging property.

She told the publication, "At the time, I didn't have the skill to ... it never entered my mind to say, 'I am your boss, you can't speak to me this way.'"
