Val Kilmer finally got his grand Hollywood sendoff ... and a ton of celebs showed up to remember his life and acting career.

The late actor's celebration of life went down Sunday at the Chateau Marmont hotel in West Hollywood ... and famous folks in attendance included Jack Black, Sean Penn, Slash, Kristin Wigg, Will Forte and Daryl Hannah.

A couple directors Val worked with in some of his biggest movies were also there ... Oliver Stone and Jerry Bruckheimer.

American actress Edith Conn AKA "Didi" was in her mid-20s when she skyrocketed to fame playing Frenchy -- the high school senior and 'beauty school dropout' who mistakenly dyes her hair hot pink -- in the 1978 musical/comedy film "Grease."

Edith shared the big screen with Hollywood legends like John Travolta as the hot and suave leader of the T-Birds, Danny Zuko, Olivia Newton-John as the new and naive girl at school, Sandy and Michael Tucci as Marty's silly, goofy boyfriend and part of the T-Birds.

Other honorable cast mentions include Stockard Channing as Rizzo!

"Beauty school dropout, no graduation day for you!"

Sydney Sweeney is receiving a heap of praise for her latest performance as former professional boxer Christy Martin ... and all the love is making her emotional!

Sydney was brought to tears Friday after she and the rest of the cast got a thunderous standing ovation at Toronto International Film Festival following a screening of her biopic, "Christy."

SS was clearly overcome by the moment ... and she told the festival crowd it was an honor to play the iconic sports figure, who joined her on stage.

Druski's viral NASCAR skit sparked a good ol' fashioned down-home racial debate across America -- totally the type of comedy the world needs, says Brandon T. Jackson.

Movie buffs remember Brandon's portrayal in the 2008 Ben Stiller-directed comedy blockbuster "Tropic Thunder" as "Alpa Chino" ... the rapper stranded in the jungle who told Robert Downey Jr.'s character -- who was in blackface -- his hijinks weren't appreciated.

TMZ Hip Hop linked with Brandon following the Druski firestorm, and he says canceling Druski would be like canceling RDJ's unforgettable performance in "Tropic Thunder" ... no dice!!!

September’s here, the air’s (kinda) turning crisp, and what better way to ease into spooky season than with a major horror franchise creeping back onto our screens?!

We’re diving into the creepiest drop of the week on "TMZ Movie Tea" with Jabeen Waheed ... Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson return in "The Conjuring: Last Rites." It’s the franchise’s grand finale, so that basically means side-eyeing the screen from between your fingers.

But is it the scariest movie this year ... well, that's based on your personal horror-meter!

Sydney Sweeney's getting ready for the first showing of her boxing movie chronicling the life of legendary boxer Christy Martin ... and she's looking like a total knockout.

The actress just arrived at the Princess of Wales Theatre at the Toronto International Film Festival for the premiere of her film, "Christy."

Sydney's all glammed up and spilling out of the top of her dress, which is hugging her slim figure.

Hollywood actresses Amanda Seyfried and Julia Roberts wore identical 'fits at this year's Venice Film Festival, but which celeb is workin' it best?! If you take a good look, the only two differences are their shoes and hair color ...

The question here is: Who wore it better?!

VOTE NOW!  

Sydney Sweeney sounds like she may be punching her way to her first Academy Award ... based on what we're hearing about her upcoming boxing movie.

Sydney is starring in "Christy," a film chronicling the life of boxer Christy Martin, and it's set to premiere Friday afternoon for a select audience at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Our sources tell us the studio behind the movie, Black Bear, tested the flick and it "tested through the roof."

Darth Vader's lightsaber might be red, but its former owners are only seeing piles of green right now ... 'cause they sold the prop for millions.

The screen-matched Hero Dueling Lightsaber used by Vader in "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi" sold at auction earlier this week for $3.6 million -- even higher than the original $1M-to-$3M estimate.

We caught up with Brandon Alinger -- COO of Propstore, the company that sold the saber -- as the item hit auction ... and, he told us the company's previous "Star Wars" prop record sale was $2.3 million. Looks like The Force was just stronger with this one.

Giorgio Armani died Thursday ... and among those mourning the loss is a Hollywood icon who tells TMZ the legendary fashion designer helped make one of his films an instant classic.

As you know ... Giorgio died "peacefully" at home surrounded by his loved ones. He was 91.

Paul Schrader, writer and director of "American Gigolo," tells TMZ … the 1980 film starring Richard Gere had an unintentional cross-promotion that helped make the movie a classic ... and pushed Armani's lucky break into the U.S. market.

American actress Christina Scherer was in her early 20s when she played Becky -- the young and energetic chief assistant who feels overworked and underappreciated -- in the comedy/drama "The Intern" back in 2015.

Christina shared the big screen with Hollywood icons like Anne Hathaway as the fashion company CEO, Jules, Robert De Niro as the wise senior citizen intern working for Jules, and Adam DeVine as Jules' coworker who goes out of his way to help others, Jason.

In 2019, Scherer moved to New York City to focus on her artwork.

Celebrities from all over hit the red carpet at the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, and to say they showed out BIG TIME for the world's oldest film festival, would be an under (fashion) statement!

Dressed to the nines, Julia Roberts was a "Pretty Woman" at the "After the Hunt" premiere -- donning a custom Atelier Versace gown, and George and Amal Clooney posed for a show-stopping shot for George's latest film, "Jay Kelly."

Why yellow, Halsey! The 30-year-old singer owned the red carpet of "The Smashing Machine" film -- turning heads in a yellow satin dress, not to mention her fiancé, Avan Jogia got head nods in his dapper suit!

Paris Jackson's telling Colman Domingo he better stop telling lies if he doesn't "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'" ... 'cause she says she never consulted on the Michael Jackson biopic.

Here's the deal ... Domingo -- who is playing Jackson's father, Joe Jackson, in the new movie -- told People at this year's amfAR benefit gala that Paris had been "very helpful" to him during the shooting process.

However, Paris says Colman's straight-up fibbing ... 'cause she took to Instagram to say she had "0% involvement" in the movie.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was practically a blubbering baby after debuting his new movie, "The Smashing Machine," at the Venice Film Festival ... where he got one hell of a reaction.

Check it out ... Dwayne and his costar, Emily Blunt, wipe away tears as the audience at the film festival showers the performers with love ... including a 15-minute standing ovation. Take it in!!!

While The Rock is no stranger to public affection -- he's dominated the box office many times over his career -- "The Smashing Machine" sets up the WWE star as a possible Oscars contender for this year's awards show.

Mexican actor and producer Héctor Jiménez was 32 years old when he was cast to play Steven -- Nacho's poor and awkward wrestling partner who steals food -- in the family/comedy film "Nacho Libre" back in 2006.

Héctor shared the big screen with Jack Black as the bold and funny monastery orphanage chef who secretly becomes a wrestler, Nacho, Ana de la Reguera as the kind and compassionate nun working at the orphanage, Sister Encarnación, and Darius Rose as the adorable orphan, Chancho, who is protective of Nacho's secret identity.

Woody Allen didn't vote for Donald Trump ... but, it seems he's got support if the guy ever wants back into showbusiness -- 'cause he's a great professional actor!

The Hollywood legend stopped by Bill Maher's 'Club Random' podcast and opened up about directing the President of the United States in his 1998 movie celebrity.

Allen shouted out the president's professionalism ... saying he was polite to everyone on the set -- and giving his acting a thumb's up.
