Amy Schumer knows how to perk up a room ... playing a prank at Jimmy Buffett’s memorial to ease the melancholy in the room -- all by pulling her top down!

The actress/comedian was honored at the Variety Power of Women event in NYC where Sascha Seinfeld -- the daughter of Jerry Seinfeld and a writer on AS’ show “Life & Beth” -- introduced her by telling the NSFW story, Page Six reports.

The way Seinfeld tells it ... Amy attended a memorial dinner for the late great singer -- who passed away last September. Jimmy's widow Jane Buffett came in the room and Amy went to greet her, after making one small change to her outfit.

Edgar Lansbury, a Tony-winning producer and brother of late TV & Film star Angela Lansbury has died ... according to a post from one of his former stars.

Peggy Gordon -- who appeared in the original off-Broadway cast for the show "Godspell" -- shared the news on Facebook earlier this week. She didn't provide a cause of death but said his memorial would take place in the fall.

Edgar, born in London in 1930, first rose to prominence on the Broadway scene in the early 1960s ... when his show "The Subject Was Roses" starring Martin Sheen won him the Tony Award for Best Play.

Pauly Shore se está moviendo a toda máquina con su película biográfica de Richard Simmons, pues según los informes, le dijo a una multitud en Los Ángeles que va a seguir adelante con el proyecto con o sin la bendición de Simmons.

El actor y comediante se subió al escenario de Netflix Is A Joke show el viernes por la noche en Los Ángeles y se refirió a la polémica película y pareciera que la posibilidad de que Richard esté a bordo está fuera de toda posibilidad.

Variety informa que Shore dijo: "También voy a protagonizar la película biográfica de Richard Simmons, le guste o no a Richard. Solo otro jodido bache en mi jodido camino".

Pauly Shore's moving full-steam ahead with his Richard Simmons biopic ... reportedly telling an L.A. crowd he's going forward with or without Simmons' blessing.

The actor-comedian hopped onstage for his Netflix Is A Joke show Friday night in Los Angeles when he addressed the controversial film project ... and, it sounds like Pauly's out on potentially getting Richard onboard.

Variety reports Shore said, “I’m also gonna be starring in the Richard Simmons biopic … whether he likes it or not, Richard. Just another f***ing bump in my f***ing road.”

Channing Tatum wants a judge to hear all of the issues in his divorce from Jenna Dewan in one trial ... instead of splitting up the case like she wants.

According to documents obtained by TMZ ... Tatum's asking a judge to deny Jenna's request to bifurcate the case -- which, in essence, would split the issues into 2 trials. Instead, Channing wants to keep it all wrapped up in one.

CT's argument's pretty simple here ... he's saying the issues should be consolidated, unless splitting them up would expedite the proceedings, and he thinks Jenna's trying to do the exact opposite.

Tom Skerritt has no interest in seeing the latest "Alien" sequel -- instead, he's keeping his streak going of passing on all the movies after the OG, because he says they can't compete.

The actor -- who played Capt. Dallas in the original 1979 sci-fi classic -- talked to TMZ ahead of its 45th anniversary, and says he was well aware while making the Ridley Scott film that it was going to be a classic ... and that's partly why he hasn't seen ANY of the others.

He tells us he also figured the studio -- seeing huge dollar signs -- would order up lots of sequels (8 to be exact) which include crossovers...  and the upcoming "Alien: Romulus."

Brooke Shields' daughters may be college-aged adults, but they're still mommy's girls at heart -- something their mother confessed to ... very proudly, we might add.

The actress swung by SiriusXM's "The Jess Cagle Show" Thursday, where she spilled on her incredibly close bond with daughters Rowan and Grier -- who are 20 and 18, respectively -- confirming they all still share a bed sometimes.

She explains ... "You know, the minute my husband is on any type of work trip or gone or something, you know, they still sleep in the bed with me. We still watch rom-coms. They're my babies and they will never not be."

Mark Hamill says the force is strong with this White House, appearing at a press briefing to cap off the week and sing the praises of President Biden, whom he's already nicknamed.

The legendary actor surprised the press corp Friday -- appearing alongside press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and explaining how he got to meet the prez ... highlighting some of his legislative accomplishments.

Hamill eventually opened up the floor to questions -- with one reporter asking about MH's meeting with POTUS. While he's cagey on exactly what he and Biden talked about, he does admit he christened JB as "Joe-B-Wan Kenobi" -- and it got a laugh out of the room.

John Leguizamo might not remember Patrick Swayze fondly all these years later -- but he might be pleased to know the feeling was mutual ... so says PS' brother.

We spoke to the late actor's sibling, Sean, who tells TMZ ... he actually recalls having a conversation with Pat on the heels of them wrapping production for their 1995 film 'To Wong Foo' -- in which Patrick and John both starred as drag queens.

According to Sean ... Patrick relayed to him that he found JL to be a difficult person, that he had an attitude and they butted heads a lot on set ... so that part of John's story's confirmed.

Robin Williams really was the nicest guy in Hollywood ... 'cause one of the child stars from "Mrs. Doubtfire" says he stuck up for her ... this after she got expelled as a teen.

Lisa Jakub -- who played one of Robin's onscreen daughters in the 1993 comedy -- stopped by fellow 'Doubtfire' alum Matthew Lawrence's "Brotherly Love Podcast" this week -- where she shared how she was kicked out of school while filming their flick.

She explained she was attending high school in Canada at the time -- but had to be on set to shoot the movie, which meant she'd be out of school for a good while ... an arrangement she says they were cool with at first, until they weren't ... and told her not to come back.

Kathy Bates is ready to slide into some stylish shapewear -- saying she'd be happy to star in a campaign for SKIMS ... all Kim Kardashian has to do is make the call!

The actress attended the CBS Fall Schedule Celebration in L.A. Thursday and chatted with People about Kim's turn on "American Horror Story" ... providing a unique perspective since Bates regularly pops up in the anthology series, although she's not in KK's season.

Kathy admits she hasn't watched Kim in 'AHS' yet ... but, the two apparently have a rapport -- 'cause Kathy says Kim sent her SKIMS a few years back and apparently told her she'd put her in an an ad one day. Welp, Kathy's ready to take her up on it, saying she's still waiting!

Rachel Zegler just hit the big 2-3 this week -- and while she's looking forward to a new year of life, she notes age 22 was brutal for her ... and a big reason seems to be 'Snow White.'

The actress posted some telling messages to her Instagram Story Thursday night -- which show her posing in a couple different dresses (with the top of her head cropped out) and lengthy captions attached that touch on how rough this past year has been for her.

She writes, "I hope 23 holds a lot less hatred, a lot less being afraid for my safety in public, and a lot more understanding for growing up."

Rachel Zegler acaba de cumplir 23 años y aunque está ansiosa por empezar un nuevo año, dijo que los 22 años fueron brutales para ella y "Blancanieves" parece ser un gran motivo.

Rachel escribe: "Espero que los 23 tengan mucho menos odio, mucho menos miedo por mi seguridad en público y mucha más comprensión de lo que es crecer".

El hombre que escribió "Volver al Futuro" dice que es un engaño el video de un hombre que afirma haber capturado a un viajero en el tiempo en la vida real, y todo se reduce a la logística de romper el espacio-tiempo continuo.

Bob Gale, quien escribió los guiones de la trilogía de los 80, dice a TMZ que es hora de frenar la teoría de Alec Schaal de que atrapó a un tipo que habría viajado en el tiempo luego de entrar en su cobertizo y supuestamente haber salido mucho más viejo.

En su opinión como experto, su lógica simplemente no tiene sentido con los viajes en el tiempo reales, algo con lo que está familiarizado.

The guy who wrote "Back to the Future" calls BS on a video claiming to have captured a real-life time traveler ... and it boils down to the logistics of breaking the space-time continuum.

Bob Gale -- who penned the scripts to the beloved '80s trilogy -- tells TMZ ... it's time to slam on the DeLorean brakes on Alec Schaal's theory that he caught a dude who actually time-traveled by popping into his shed ... and supposedly emerged way older.

In his (movie) expert opinion ... the logic simply doesn't add up to real time travel, as he's familiar with it, which is why he thinks this whole damn thing is a hoax.
