Specifically, Stodden mentions Teigen who posted multiple times on social media that she hated Courtney and even said her fantasy was for Stodden to take a "dirt nap."

"RoboCop" icon Peter Weller is all about returning to the franchise -- but hold up, he’s not jumping back in just yet, 'cause he tells TMZ the conditions have got to be right first.

We caught up with Peter at LAX, and he said he’d pretty much do anything if the script is good and the money’s right -- so, he's not exactly asking for much.

Catch the full video, because it looks like even if Peter gets a good deal for a "RoboCop" reboot, it'll have to compete with his latest passion -- he’s just written a book!

The original Mickey Mouse is out for blood in a new horror film based on Steamboat Willie ... and his targets are a group of princesses who are knockoffs of Disney stars.

Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler were all smiles at Saturday night's premiere of "Snow White" in Hollywood — despite all the negative press surrounding the film remake.

The actresses stood side by side on the red carpet at El Capitan Theatre — and they could not have looked happier posing for pics alongside the movie's producer Marc Platt, director Marc Webb and songwriters Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.

Gal, who plays the Evil Queen, looked amazing in her black lace dress. Rachel, who portrays Snow White, exuded elegance in her peach gown with a matching corset.

"The Mandalorian" fans will be pulling out their wallets and saying "This is the way" for this new auction item ... a lightsaber used in the show and wielded by Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill!

GWS Auction has put the saber up for sale ... starting the bidding at $25K -- so, a super Star Wars fan is going to need to empty the bank account for this one.

According to the site, two versions of the lightsaber -- a metal one called a "hero" lightsaber used for close-up shots and inserts and a lighter "stunt" lightsaber used in general shots and action sequences. This is the stunt lightsaber.

Rachel Zegler was finally asked about all the controversies dogging her upcoming big-budget Disney film, "Snow White" ... and she clearly wasn't having any of it.

Rachel was chatted up in LAX on Friday ... where she said "it feels wonderful" the live-action film is about to be released ... but it seemed pretty clear she was not in the mood to talk -- like, at all.

RZ booked it to her ride through the terminal while declining to sign autographs ... and really hauled butt when she was asked about all the negative press surrounding the film -- which mostly boils down to herself and costar Gal Gadot.

Jonathan Majors got real about his past ... revealing both men and women sexually abused him as a child.

The actor said he confronted his childhood trauma during therapy following a domestic violence program -- which he was required to undergo as part of his sentencing after his 2023 guilty verdict for assaulting his ex, Grace Jabbari.

JM told The Hollywood Reporter his sexual abuse began when he was just 9 -- one year after his dad left the family -- explaining the abuse came from people who were "supposed to look after you, in the absence of a father."

You have to see the hilarious exchange ... Chappell and her pal were live-streaming when they accidentally got sucked into a battle with this guy who wouldn’t quit, begging them for just one round -- all while they were scrambling to figure out how to bail on the game.

While he was pleading passionately on one side of the screen, Chappell was frantically trying to kick him out on the other ... but, of course, staying super polite. Heck, she even threw in some Urdu, thinking it might help him understand her better.

Disney may have toned down its big Hollywood premiere for "Snow White," but Rachel Zegler wasn’t gonna let that stop her from going big on the promo tour -- glitz or no glitz!

Rachel made her grand entrance at the Spanish premiere Wednesday -- but it still wasn't quite the red carpet spectacle she might have imagined. Instead, the event was scaled down and tucked away in a remote castle in Segovia, northwest of Madrid.

Rachel, who takes on the title role, stunned in a white floral gown as she performed "Waiting On A Wish" -- a brand-new song for the film -- serenading a modest crowd of locals with her powerhouse vocals.

"Snow White" has been drowning in controversy for months, and now with Disney more or less pulling the plug on the movie’s red carpet premiere, one of its key actors is beyond disappointed -- you might even say ... GRUMPY!

Martin Klebba, the voice of Grumpy -- one of the 7 dwarfs in the new flick -- tells TMZ ... he’s seriously bummed and a bit pissed Disney axed what should’ve been a massive premiere for such a major film -- all because of the ongoing controversies surrounding the film, and stars Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler.

Martin tells us while Rachel, who plays Snow White, and Gal, as the Evil Queen, are entitled to their own political views and ideals, those personal opinions shouldn’t have overshadowed everyone else’s hard work -- no matter how much bitching about them is on social media.

Liev Schrieber says his child walking a runway at Paris Fashion Week doesn't mean there's a new Hollywood nepo baby on the block.

We got the "Ray Donovan" star at the new Planet Hollywood in New York City and our photog asked him about his kid, Kai, making her runway debut at the Valentino show.

Liev isn't buying the notion that Kai is riding her father's famous coattails and getting top modeling gigs because of her parents.

"Snow White" is in its big release week, but instead of excitement, the controversy is still going strong -- and Ali Chapman tells us she totally gets why fans are frustrated.

We spoke with Ali, her hubby Matt McArthy, and their pal Jeff Beacher, owner of Beacher's Madhouse, at Craig's in L.A. Tuesday -- where she told TMZ the whole point of the OG film was the 7 dwarfs ... so that was 7 missed chances for actors like her who would’ve loved to be part of the live-action remake.

Catch the video -- because they all have a lot to say! "Freakshow" star Ali added that Disney had the perfect opportunity to represent the Little People community, only to miss the mark and shut them out in the process.
