There are lots of celebs out there who get thrills from spooky chills ... can you guess who this horror-loving actor is?

We caught up with this actor in 2018 and asked him about being the narrator of a Stephen King audiobook ... he was pretty stoked about the whole thing!

"Saturday Night Live" honored Catherine O'Hara during its latest episode, paying tribute to the iconic actress who died this week.

Before the curtain call during Saturday's show, the NBC sketch comedy series flashed a brief tribute card on the screen featuring a past photo of O'Hara along with her name. The show also took to X, posting a photo of the tribute with her name followed by a heart emoji.

TMZ broke the story ... O'Hara died Friday in Los Angeles after a brief illness. Emergency crews responded to her home that morning for breathing difficulties, and she was rushed to the hospital, where she later died.

The news sent shockwaves through Hollywood and the world. O'Hara, who's best known for her unforgettable roles in "Schitt's Creek," "Home Alone," "Beetlejuice" and more, had a career spanning over five decades and earned multiple awards, including Emmys and a Golden Globe.

Tributes poured in from her co-stars, with her on-screen "Schitt's Creek" husband, Eugene Levy, sharing how much he'll miss her after working with her for over fifty years, and "Home Alone" star Macaulay Culkin sharing an emotional goodbye, referring to her as a mother figure and expressing deep heartbreak.

From the dugout to the spotlight ... Banana Ball star Jayson Arendt knocked his "American Idol" audition out of the park!

TMZ Sports caught up with the ballplaying country artist after he stole the show on the 24th season premiere when several of his teammates joined him for the audition ... dancing and hyping up the room before Arendt performed Chris Stapleton's "Fire Away."

His raw, country sound resonated with judges Lionel Richie, Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood ... all gave Arendt their approval to punch his Golden Ticket to Hollywood!

Kanye West's fully embracing the mentor role for his daughter North West's rap career ... bringing her out at his Mexico show to perform her new song.

The music legend performed in Mexico City Friday night -- his first show in the country in nearly 20 years -- and, North joined him onstage to play "Piercing On My Hand" ... a song which references the dermal implants she got in her right hand a few months ago.

Check out the clip ... like father, like daughter when it comes to the outfit -- thick sunglasses and an all-black 'fit which looks a lot like a mini version of something Ye would wear.

Grady Demond Wilson -- best known for playing Lamont Sanford, the son of Fred Sanford on the NBC sitcom "Sanford and Son" -- has died.

Wilson's son, Demond Wilson Jr., tells TMZ ... he was pronounced dead Friday morning at his home in Palm Springs, California. He passed away from complications related to cancer.

Demond Jr. didn't reveal the type of cancer he had. He told us ... "I loved him. He was a great man."

Steve Martin and Martin Short raised a glass to Catherine O'Hara during their comedy show Friday night, just hours after TMZ broke the news of her death.

Check out the sweet tribute -- they had an image of the late actress on a screen during their 'Best of' tour stop in Austin, Texas, as Martin doted over her as "the greatest, most brilliant, kindest, sweetest angel" they had ever worked with.

They raised their glasses and clinked them in her honor as the audience erupted in cheer.

If Sydney Sweeney is ever back on the market ... it looks like Puka Nacua is ready to go shopping!

The Los Angeles Rams player seemed to shoot his shot with the "Euphoria" star over social media Friday ... commenting on an X post that pointed out all the things she wants in a man, which includes someone who is athletic, outgoing, funny, and who'll go skydiving with her.

Just look at his tweet -- he quotes Sydney's words about what she's looking for in a partner, writing ... "Love skydiving." It's a small gesture, but it seems like an obvious hint he's interested.

It's a scandal not to tell everyone ... it's Kerry Washington's 49th birthday!

This celeb's only got just one more year before she hits the big 5-0 -- not that you could tell -- and for a little spice to add to your day, here's some of her sexiest snaps!

Ellen DeGeneres’ gander across the pond looks like it hit pause -- 'cause she popped up back in Montecito mansion-hunting ... the same day of calling for a nationwide shutdown.

The ex-talk show host preached in an IG post, "no work, no school, no shopping" in protest over ICE brutality in Minnesota -- something tons of other Americans have been preaching today -- but that vibe didn’t exactly stick while out in luxe-land touring not one, but two mega-mansions Friday. Talk about do as I say, not as I stroll!

Take a look at these pics -- these weren’t casual Zillow scrolls -- we’re talking $35M and $17M spreads, beach strolls, full walkthrough mode with wife Portia de Rossi by her side.

Patrick Bet-David hopped into the "TMZ Live" hot seat over Don Lemon’s arrest Friday -- and it got fiery real quick, with PBD insisting Don blurred lines by mixing with protesters instead of just covering them.

The conservative podcast host and media personality doubled down hard ... even when Harvey Levin and Charles Latibeaudiere pushed back, saying Don got way too close to the protesters and perhaps even joined in their planning.

Patrick warned that Don's actions were a slippery slope -- pointing to footage that he says raises big questions about whether Lemon was observing or participating.

Jeannie Mai really went through the wringer during her divorce from Jeezy ... and the whole thing was apparently like "experiencing death alive."

Jeannie spoke about the end of her marriage with Jeezy during Thursday's episode of iHeartRadio's "Question Everything" podcast and described the process of divorcing the rapper as "the worst."

FYI ... Jeannie and Jeezy tied the knot back in 2021, and they welcomed a daughter, Monaco Mai, the following year -- although they ended up separating in 2023, and they finalized their divorce in June 2024.

Jeannie said divorce was a process "that forces you to then protect yourself to get what you need" ... and admitted the whole thing was "the worst."

She added ... "I am so lucky that Monaco was only one when this happened. She's not gonna remember what that turmoil is like. That's not something I want her to ever have to think about. My job is to define peace for her."

The thing is, Jeannie didn't have any regrets about tying the knot with Jeezy and said she was "so thankful to have experienced love in so many different ways."

Brooks Nader might be the queen of steamy flings, but this Valentine’s, she’s flying the single-girl flag -- and schooling everyone on how to do Galentine’s right.

We caught her at Clarins’ Sugar & Shine bash at L.A. hotspot Alba Thursday night, where Brooks happily crowned single life the real win -- joking ladies should be grateful to dodge "annoying dudes" and lean into Galentine’s instead.

Roll the clip, because she lays out her dream Galentine’s plan step by step -- and even sneaks in a plug for the spicy new movie, "Wuthering Heights."

Kyle Richards is shutting down those Mauricio Umansky reconciliation rumors ... telling Andy Cohen on 'Watch What Happens Live' that they're simply not true.

Peep the clip -- the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star said on Thursday's episode that someone started the gossip after she, Mauricio, and their family paid a visit to Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell's Aspen, CO home. She and Kathy Hilton even hinted that they think they know where the rumor started ... but don't dare to drop names.

Kyle also filled Andy in on the status of a potential divorce filing -- check the clip to see what she revealed.

Devin Booker is trolling his ex Kendall Jenner over her marital status, sports betting, the Super Bowl, and his bum ankle ... and things got sexual.

The hilarious back and forth is going down in the comments on Michael Rubin's Instagram post.

It all started when the Fanatics honcho shared a clip from Kendall's spot with Jimmy Fallon, where she got Tom Brady on FaceTime and picked a Super Bowl winner to bet on.

Devin commented, "I bet a million the Seahawks get that ring before you do" and he tagged Kendall, who decided she'd bet on the "underdog" New England Patriots to win Super Bowl LX.

Gideon Adlon says the wait is gonna be well worth it for "Euphoria" fans ... because she says the upcoming third season is going to be off the chain.

We got the actress at LAX on Wednesday and our photog asked her what folks can expect from her, Sydney Sweeney, Jacob Elordi, and Zendaya.

In a word, Gideon says Season 3 is going to be wild ... kind of like her career as of late.

Cleveland went full feels during LeBron James' return on Wednesday ... and "Inside the NBA" immediately turned it into a comedy sketch.

During an in-game timeout in the Cavs' 129-99 win over the Lakers, the team's arena host Ahmaad Crump and mascot Moondog put on pink tutus, rolled out a hot pink exercise ball and launched into a slow, dramatic dance set to Adele’s "Hello."

Emotional vocals, moody pacing ... and balancing a giant workout ball front and center.

The grace, the pageantry -- the instant fuel for mockery. It immediately went viral on social media.
