Willie Robertson’s been knee-deep in filming "Duck Dynasty: The Revival" S2 -- and this time, he’s rolling without his late dad ... which he tells TMZ actually feels fitting, knowing the man himself.

She chatted with TMZ at LAX Monday, saying, "I saw there's this older millennial group of women trying to do the math to see if that's appropriate or not." Julianne laughed before ultimately deciding ... eh, it probably isn't.

Julianne also seemed proud of the 21-year-old Aussie for turning down an offer from Chippendales to join them in Las Vegas, saying, "I think that's the right choice."

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.

Sabrina Carpenter turned "Saturday Night Live" into Saturday Night Lust ... delivering a monologue so cheeky, it probably broke a few FCC rules.

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.

Hailey Bieber says there's no beef between herself and Selena Gomez ... after all, she's got no reason to be competitive -- 'cause Gomez doesn't inspire her whatsoever.

The model and beauty magnate opened up about the rivalry between herself and the pop sensation in an interview with WSJ Magazine ... admitting it annoys her that fans keep trying to compare the two and put them into competition.

Bieber said, "It's always annoying being pitted against other people. I didn't ask for that. When people want to see you a certain way and they've made up a story about you in their minds, it's not up to you to change that."

I think she's been a really great role model housewife. She's always led with her education and family values, and I was as surprised as anybody was when I woke up to the TMZ news."

As you know ... Wendy and husband Eddie were booked on fraud charges last week, stemming from an alleged burglary they reported in April last year ... the couple claimed they found their bedroom ransacked after returning from a trip to Jamaica. But here's the thing ... county sheriff's deputies allege Wendy was later seen in a social media post wearing a diamond ring she reported stolen.
