Lukas Gage está encantado con el nuevo elenco de su serie de HBO y parece que también se burla de su marido, Chris Appleton.

Nos encontramos con la estrella de "White Lotus" el viernes por la tarde en el DOGPOUND en West Hollywood y nuestro fotógrafo le preguntó acerca de las nuevas caras de la exitosa franquicia.

Lukas dice que está especialmente entusiasmado con Leslie Bibb y Parker Posey, que según él, es lo más parecido a Jennifer Coolidge.

Por supuesto, no se puede reemplazar a Jennifer -ella era la favorita de los fans para las dos primeras temporadas, pero su personaje no volverá para una tercera- pero Lukas dice que Parker es una gran adición y nos dice por qué la serie no necesita el poder de la estrella de Harry Styles.

Otros castings de "Lotus" incluyen a Jason Isaacs, Michelle Monaghan, Dom Hetrakul y Tayme Thapthimthong.

Lukas se ve en forma... un caso clásico de post-ruptura.

TMZ publicó la historia, Lukas está pasando por un divorcio con su marido, el peluquero Chris Appleton, después de un matrimonio relámpago.

Lukas ya está saltando de nuevo a la piscina de citas, actualizando su perfil de Hinge.

Le preguntamos por qué prefirió Hinge por sobre Raya, y nos dice que está buscando a gente "real" en lugar de influencers o celebridades.

Antes de que esta chica ataviada con su vestido rosa de princesa fuera la dueña de la pasarela, se ponía su brillante corona dorada, seguía el ejemplo de su famosa madre y se paseaba por las playas de Malibú con su hermano mayor.

Mientras su padre dirige su negocio de bebidas alcohólicas, su madre (ex top model) se mantiene ocupada con su empresa de muebles. Deslumbrar en portadas de revistas no es su único trabajo, apareció en "American Horror Story" y "Mrs. American Pie".

Cuando no está trabajando, le gusta cocinar, la filantropía y pasar las vacaciones con Austin Butler.

Before this girl decked out in her pink princess dress was owning the runway, she was just throwin' on her sparkly gold crown, taking after her famous momma and hittin' the beaches of Malibu with her older bro.

While her dad is running his booze business, her mom (who's a former top model) stays busy with her furniture company. Slaying on magazine covers ain't her only job ... she appeared on "American Horror Story" and "Mrs. American Pie."

When she's not working ... she enjoys cooking, philanthropy work and vacaying with Austin Butler.

Jo Koy's opening monologue at the Golden Globes this year was a little ... well, up and down -- and the audience seemed to let him know early and often.

The comedian kinda came out with kid gloves at first during Sunday's broadcast, praising everyone and talking about how big of a moment it was for all the nominees ... and for himself. Eventually, he launched into some attempted ribbing at some of the movies.

For starters, his jokes about 'Barbie' didn't land with the audience all that well -- probably because he was a little crude in characterizing what it was about ... a doll with "big boobs."

There were some groans in the crowd ... and Jo noted he only had about a week and a half or so prepare this monologue -- acknowledging not everything he wrote (or had written for him) was going to kill. And yet, he continued on with some other zingers that fizzled out.

JK made light of Barry Keoghan's penis in 'Saltburn' ... suggesting it had made its way to Bradley Cooper's face in 'Maestro' -- obviously referring to prosthetic nose he rocked.

There was a lot more -- and it was vey uneven ... lasting about 10 minutes. While he was able to get through it in the end, Twitter/X was letting Jo have it online ... with bad reviews.

It's awards season again, and that means the Golden Globes are back to kick off the campaign -- only this time it's on a new network ... but still drawing all the big names.

The stars are just now arriving at the Beverly Hilton in L.A., and they're doing their usual thing -- walking up the carpet, stopping in front of cameras and showing their fancy duds ahead of the broadcast itself. And yes, it's a who's-who of talent in 2024.

Some of the splashiest names are taking their sweet time, but there's still a crap ton of celebs who've shown up so far -- including ... Helen Mirren, Heidi Klum, Wilmer Valderama, Jo Koy (who's playing host) Jeannie Mai, Selena Gomez, Tyler James Williams and others.

Of course, other stars expected to show face ... Robert Downey Jr., Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman, Jeffrey Wright, Matt Damon, Colman Domingo, Carey Mulligan, Fantasia Barrino, Joaquin Phoenix, Nicolas Cage, Timothee Chalamet, Emily Blunt, Rosamund Pike, Jodie Foster and more.

Oh, and Taylor Swift is expected to touch down as well at some point -- like we said, anyone who's anyone is gonna be there tonight ... and they're doing it on none other than CBS.

NBC dropped the Globes after last year's show -- this following a lot of controversy about diversity (or a lack thereof) in the years prior from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association ... which, BTW, was completely disbanded and disassociated with this year's award show.

Now, the Globes are being handled by Dick Clark Productions and another holdings company -- and they're hoping to start fresh with a new look, new vibe ... but the same old celebs.

The seating arrangement's been set, so we already have a sense of who'll be where.

Jodie Foster's crapping on Gen Z, but more specifically how they operate on the job -- which begs the obvious question of ... who the hell is she talking about exactly??? 👀

The 2-time Oscar-winning actress did an interview with The Guardian where she candidly shared her thoughts on these young'ns out here ... and she took aim at the early-20-somethings and teens that she appears to have crossed paths with on movie/TV sets.

JF started on this train of thought by first praising 20-year-old actress Bella Ramsey -- saying she asked her to intro her at an event, noting how she embodies a modern type of womanhood in her appearance/fashion choices, etc. Bella identifies as nonbinary, BTW.

In the same breath, though, Jodie went on to slam other Gen Z'ers at large -- including, apparently, old coworkers of hers, with JF griping ... "They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace. They’re like, ‘Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10.30am.’"

She continues, "Or, like, in emails, I’ll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they’re like, ‘Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?’"

The irony, of course, is that she started out in showbiz at a very young age too. In fact, she was just 12 years old while acting in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver." Perhaps she's using that experience and how she handled herself in ripping on this new, hip generation!

Now, Jodie could just be speaking about Gen Z office/work culture generally or anecdotally -- but it does kinda sound like she might be referring to Gen Z'ers she's crossed with professionally herself ... and if that's the case, there's only a select handful that fit the bill.

2024 has only just begun – but Halle Bailey already has a lot to be thankful for with the birth of her first child, Halo!

The Grammy-nominated singer and her rapper boyfriend, DDG, posted photos on their Instagram pages Saturday night, showing their hands gently holding Halo's fingers with his name etched in a gold bracelet around his little wrist.

In her caption, Halle wrote, "Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo 🥰👼🏽 ✨the world is desperate to know you 😉🤣♥️."

DDG also commented under his IG pic, "my biggest blessing by far 👶🏽❤️ son son.. never been so in love 🥹 baby halo."

As you may recall, the couple became an item in March 2022 when DDG posted a message on Halle's IG account for her birthday. Since then, they've kept their private lives out of the spotlight ... that was until last night.

Hollywood was filled with celebs Saturday night, with pre-Golden Globe parties going full throttle all across L.A.

The biggest bash was the Vanity Fair Party at the famed Chateau Marmont hotel on the Sunset Strip.

Big stars, mostly nominees, hit up the event, including Nicolas Cage (nominated for best actor in musical or comedy for "Dream Scenario"), Reese Witherspoon ("The Morning Show"), James Marsden ("Jury Duty").

But wait, there's more -- Rosamund Pike ("Saltburn") and Natasha Lyonne ("Poker Face").

Other stars who were not nominated joined in the festivities, including Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, Cole Sprouse, Kathryn Newton, Heidi Klum, Tony Gonzalez, Chace Crawford, Tinashe and more.

It's the kickoff to awards season and it begins Sunday night with the Globes.

Hollywood se llenó de famosos el sábado por la noche, con fiestas previas a los Globos de Oro por todo Los Ángeles.

La fiesta más importante fue la Vanity Fair Party en el famoso hotel Chateau Marmont de Sunset Strip.

Grandes estrellas, en su mayoría nominados, acudieron al evento, entre ellos Nicolas Cage (nominado a mejor actor de musical o comedia por "Dream Scenario"), Reese Witherspoon ("The Morning Show"), James Marsden ("Jury Duty").

Pero espera, hay más; Rosamund Pike ("Saltburn") y Natasha Lyonne ("Poker Face") también aparecieron.

Otras estrellas que no fueron nominadas se unieron a la fiesta, incluyendo Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, Cole Sprouse, Catherine Newton, Heidi Klum, Tony Gonzalez, Chace Crawford, Tinashe y más.

Los Globos De Oro dan inicio este domingo a la temporada de premios.

3:49 PM PST -- The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... Cindy's roommate called cops to their Lake Worth Beach home on Dec. 30, 2023 -- saying she returned home from a holiday trip, knocked on Cindy's door in their residence ... but got no response.

The roommate told officers she smelled a strong odor emanating from inside and called 911, noting the last she'd seen CM alive was on Dec. 19. Cops went in and found Cindy dead in her room ... with no foul play suspected. An investigation is underway.

3:22 PM PST -- A county rep confirms to TMZ that Cindy died of "natural causes."

Cindy Morgan -- famous for her role in "Caddyshack" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed the actress' passing in the area, but no further details about when she died or under what circumstances were immediately available. We've also confirmed her body is currently at a local funeral home there in Florida.

Morgan will likely best be remembered for playing Lacey Underall in the famous 1980 comedy opposite Chevy Chase, Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield -- portraying the country club owner's hot niece who captures the attention of pretty much every male character.

She had quite a few scenes in there ... and was memorable as the key temptress in the flick. There's one notable scene she shared with Chevy, where she tried seducing him at a party.

While she was great in "Caddyshack," Cindy had actually starred in several other big films throughout her career ... specifically, in "Tron" -- where she played 2 big roles, Lora and Yori. In addition to this, she also starred in "Galaxis," "Silent Fury," "Up Yours" and other movies.

Her TV resume was even more impressive ... CM had roles on hit shows like "The Love Boat," "CHiPs," "Bring 'Em Back Alive," "The Fall Guy," "Falcon Crest," "Matlock," "Hunter," "The Highwayman," "Manusco, FBI," "The Larry Sanders Show," "Under Suspicion" and more.

Cindy's resume included 37 acting credits, and it looks like she'd been active as recently as 2022 with a voice role in an indie flick. We've tried reaching out to her team ... but haven't had any luck in tracking down someone who currently reps her.

She was 69.

RIP

Tiffany Haddish is the latest star to respond to Katt Williams' shots at his contemporaries -- this after he tried to downplay her comedy career ... with her pulling out her resume.

The comic/actress was performing at the Dania Improv in Florida earlier this week, when she appeared to address Katt's fresh round of hate aimed at her, Kevin Hart and many, many others in the game ... and she clarified a claim he made about her to Shannon Sharpe.

Long story short ... Katt said that a recent doc made about the famous Comedy Store club in L.A. had suggested that several Black comedians -- including Tiff -- had performed there over the years, but KW insisted that simply wasn't true and that she'd never gotten onstage there.

Welp, Tiffany had something to say about that during her Thursday set ... when she rattled off a lot of shows and movies she'd been in, and how long she's been honing her craft.

Eventually, she tackles his allegation that she'd never open mic'd at the Comedy Store -- at least not while coming up, anyway -- and TH refuted that ... saying she had, but just on the "white nights." The flip side ... Tiff says she definitely performed on all the "Black nights."

Mind you, Tiffany had already fired away in the comment section of a clip of Katt's interview where she got mentioned ... and there too she suggested KW didn't have his facts straight.

It's also worth mentioning ... Katt's been feuding with Tiff (and her close friend, Kevin Hart) for years now -- and he infamously trash-talked her and her comedy chops on a radio show.

Algunas de las estrellas más grandes de Hollywood se reunieron en el Chateau Marmont la noche del viernes, para una fiesta previa a los Globos de Oro, y todo el mundo se veía muy elegante mientras se pavoneaban ante las cámaras.

Echa un vistazo a esta lista de celebridades entrando y saliendo del icónico hotel de Los Ángeles para la velada de "W Magazine's Best Performances Issue". Se puede ver a Eiza Gonzalez, Nic Cage, Tallulah Willis, James Marsden, Emma Stone, Gabrielle Union, Tobey Maguire, Kaia Gerber, Laura Harrier, Storm Reid, Danielle Brooks, Natasha Lyonne, Tinashe y Julia Garner.

Estos son solo algunos de los famosos que vimos. Estamos seguros de que había muchos más festejando dentro del hotel antes del gran evento de los Globos de Oro 2024 este domingo en el Beverly Hilton Hotel.

La cantante Tinashe y la actriz Gabrielle Union causaron sensación con sus reveladores atuendos al entrar en el Chateau Marmont. Tinashe lució un conjunto de cuero negro sin sujetador, mientras que Gabrielle mostró sus increíbles piernas con un vestido corto.

Las actrices Julia Garner y Natasha Lyonne también andaban muy sexys con sus minivestidos. Todas las demás también estaban vestidas de punta en blanco.

Some of Hollywood's biggest stars gathered at the Chateau Marmont for a pre-Golden Globes bash Friday night – and everyone looked stylish as they strutted before the cameras.

Check out this list of celebs photographed going in and out of the iconic L.A. hotel for the "W Magazine's Best Performances Issue" soirée ... Eiza Gonzalez, Nic Cage, Tallulah Willis, James Marsden, Emma Stone, Gabrielle Union, Tobey Maguire, Kaia Gerber, Laura Harrier, Storm Reid, Danielle Brooks, Natasha Lyonne, Tinashe and Julia Garner.

Those were just the famous faces we saw. We're sure there were many more partying it up inside the hotel before Sunday's big 2024 Golden Globes extravaganza at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Singer Tinashe and actress Gabrielle Union made a real splash with their revealing outfits as they entered Chateau Marmont. Tinashe was in an all-black leather ensemble busting out of her brassiere, while Gabrielle showed off her amazing legs in her short dress.

Actresses Julia Garner and Natasha Lyonne also looked sexy in their minidresses. All the others were dressed to the nines as well.

Magnolia Network stars Gray and Mike Benko have been separated since April 2023 ... spending time apart to work through their marital difficulties ... TMZ has learned.

We've obtained the court docs ... Mike vacated their marital home on the date listed as their separation, and Gray is requesting an Order of Separate Support & Maintenance -- when one spouse receives court-ordered support from the other spouse, without a divorce.

The request also allows her to live apart from Mike without further interference from him.

The docs say she's hopeful the parties will be able to negotiate a settlement agreement to resolve all the issues of their marriage and separation ... though by the looks of it, divorce appears to be imminent.

She believes the court should review the agreement, approve it, and make the terms a part of the court's final order in this action.

The estranged pair, who share 2 children, were compared to Chip & Joanna Gaines, aka the gurus of home makeovers ... following the release of their successful show, "Happy to Be Home With the Benkos" last year.

Lamar Odom dice que la ketamina ha sido una herramienta exitosa para él y que lo ha ayudado a combatir sus problemas de adicción, esto después de que se revelara que el fármaco estaba en el cuerpo de Matthew Perry cuando murió.

Conversamos con Lamar afuera de Oxy Dental el jueves en Lomita, California (de su propiedad), y habló sobre la controversia en torno a la terapia de ketamina tras el informe del forense sobre la muerte de Matthew.

Lamar dice que la terapia de Matthew era similar a la suya y de acuerdo a su experiencia, funciona, pero hay serias condiciones. Para empezar, los usuarios no deben conducir.

La ketamina se ha utilizado para la depresión y la ansiedad, pero es más comúnmente utilizada como anestésico en los quirófanos.

Como informamos, Matthew fue encontrado en su jacuzzi en octubre, donde se declaró su muerte. El examinador médico del condado de Los Ángeles afirmó que tenía altos niveles de ketamina en su sistema, que lo dejaron inconsciente.

El Dr. Zaid Fadul, que ha prescrito la ketamina a sus pacientes, se unió a nosotros en "TMZ Live", el mes pasado y nos explicó por qué era engañoso que el forense apuntara con el dedo a la droga.

Lamar Odom says ketamine has been a successful tool to help him combat his addiction problems ... this after it was revealed it was in Matthew Perry's system when he died.

We got Lamar outside Oxy Dental, which Lamar owns, in Lomita, CA on Thursday, and talked about the controversy surrounding ketamine treatment therapy following the coroner's report on Matthew's death.

Lamar says Matthew's therapy was similar to his ... and according to him, it works -- but there are serious strings attached. For starters, users should not drive cars.

Ketamine has been used for depression and anxiety but is more commonly used as an anesthetic in operating rooms.

As we reported, Matthew was found in his jacuzzi in October and was declared dead. The L.A. County Medical Examiner claimed he had high levels of ketamine in his system, rendering him unconscious.

Dr. Zaid Fadul, who has prescribed ketamine to his patients, joined us on "TMZ Live," last month ... telling us why the coroner pointing fingers at the drug was misleading.
