Ask and you shall receive ... at least, if you’re Donald Trump -- 'cause apparently "Rush Hour 4" is happening at his request, with Paramount now gearing up to roll out the next Jackie Chan-Chris Tucker buddy-cop smash.

Trump’s pulling his pal Brett Ratner back into the mix, per Semafor ... he wants BR to revive the franchise that originally put his directing career on the map -- yup, the same director whose career hit the brakes after multiple #MeToo sexual-assault allegations in 2017.

Trump’s really keeping Ratner booked and busy ...  the guy’s also directing the "Melania" doc, which Amazon Prime snapped up for a whopping $40 mil and is dropping in Jan 2026.

Dharmendra, one of Bollywood's most enduring leading men, died in Mumbai on Monday.

The actor's cause of death wasn't released to the public. He'd spent time in and out of the hospital in the weeks prior to his death, according to The New York Times.

Dharmendra appeared in romance films at the start of his career in the 1960s and later branched out into action and comedy-centric projects.

Dharmendra was elected to the lower house of the Indian Parliament in 2004, and later spoke of his regret about getting into politics.

Several of Dharmendra's children followed him into acting, including his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol from his first wife, Prakash Kaur.

He married his frequent costar Hema Malini in 1980, and they welcomed two children, one of whom -- daughter Esha -- became an actress.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi paid tribute to the late actor on X, writing Dharmendra's death marked the "end of an era in Indian cinema."

Dharmendra was 89.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson gave fans a history lesson worth the price of admission at Universal Studios Hollywood, derailing a backlot tour to greet everyone on the tram.

The 53-year-old actor announced he was there shooting "Jumanji 3" -- his first time shooting a movie in Los Angeles in a long time -- and addressed them in full wardrobe.

While his appearance was special for the crowd, it may have been more meaningful for Rock. He revealed to the screaming fans, "Life comes full circle, because I started my career here on this lot filming a little movie you guys might have seen called 'The Scorpion King,' so it's really cool to come back."

Actor Udo Kier — who landed famous roles in “My Own Private Idaho” and "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," has died.

His partner, Delbert McBride, confirmed to Variety that Kier passed away Sunday.  His close friend, Michael Childers, posted on Facebook Kier died in a hospital in Palm Springs, California. A cause of death was not released.

The German-born actor had a long and illustrious Hollywood career, spanning decades with over 250 credits from 1966 to 2025. His final role was as Hans in "The Secret Agent."

American actress Jessie Ennis was in her mid-20s when she played Debbie, the sorority sister, in the 2018 drama/action film "Life of the Party."

Jessie hit the big screen with iconic actors like Melissa McCarthy, Maya Rudolph, and Julie Bowen.

Josh Brolin looks ready to join up with a "Gangster Squad" ... because it seems he may have some expansive new ink on his back.

The actor was spotted surfing in Santa Barbara Saturday ... and, while walking to and from the water, he pulled his wetsuit down to let his torso breathe.

And, on his back, is a huge black tattoo ... with a lighthouse rising from the waves, topless mermaids framing the scene and the word "aretê" -- an ancient Greek word that literally means "fulfillment" and "virtue '-- squarely between his shoulder blades

We all know some actors love to steal the spotlight, but others are just as powerful when they blend into the scenery -- can you guess who this low-key star is?

We ran into this guy way back in the day stepping out in the Big Apple, and the guy naturally blended into the hustle and bustle of New York City ... in a borderline Oscar-winning performance!

There's magic in the air this weekend -- can you guess who these wickedly talented co-stars are?

We caught the first of these two actresses while she was signing autographs for a few fans, and she was just tickled pink by the whole experience!

"Wicked" fans were dancing through the movie theater Friday in their cutest Glinda-fied and grungy greenified costumes to watch the big premiere of "Wicked: For Good."

TMZ headed to Los Angeles' iconic The Grove shopping center Friday, and it's safe to say the costumes were wicked good -- just check out our gallery! We even found actress Teala Dunn and her mom ready to watch.

Fans went all out ... from green ponchos and ruffled pink dresses to on-theme green and pink drinks, fans were thrilled to get into character to watch the follow-up to 2024's "Wicked." Extra points go to The Grove for displaying costumes worn by Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo during filming and adding a yellow brick leading to the theater.

"Wicked" blew up the box office last year, and it's looking to set a record this year, with a projected $151.5 million opening, per Deadline. Friday's premiere and Thursday's previews already raked in $68.6 million ... which blows last year's sales out of Shiz.

Fans are already raving about "Wicked: For Good" online, giving it a Rotten Tomatoes rating of 96%. Notably, critics are being a bit harder, rating it a 70% as of Saturday morning.

Timothée Chalamet's probably hoping his new movie, "Marty Supreme," gets more than 3 stars ... but that's all his friends sported on their heads at the film's pop-up when they dressed up as table tennis balls.

The actor wore a bright pink "Marty Supreme" jacket over a matching sweater, and his pink belt held up a casual pair of jeans.

Chalamet's escort into the event consisted of five or six people dressed in all black ... except for the bright orange headgear they wore with three black stars emblazoned on the front.

The exciting second act of "Wicked" is out now ... and we've put together behind-the-scenes pics from filming for you to scroll through all the movie magic before jumping back into Oz.

Filming kicked off back in late 2022 ... and it made fast friends out of Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Ethan Slater, and the rest of the film's cast as they shot both films at the same time -- a massive undertaking led by director Jon M. Chu.

The cast couldn't help but strike a few silly poses in between scenes ... with Cynthia making a face we just can't imagine the uptight Elphaba emulating.

Chadwick Boseman was honored with a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame Thursday, and his widow Simone Boseman spoke to us about his legacy and what this honor does for it.

As you know, Chadwick made history with his portrayal as T'Challa in "Black Panther" ... but Simone tells us its impact reached beyond just that film franchise.

She pointed out he blazed a trail for all future Black superheroes ... "He made space and now there can be more and more and more ... he set it up. He played the role he was meant to play."

Aaron Taylor-Johnson's a wolf in very little clothing ... stripping down for his part in the upcoming horror film "Werwulf."

The actor was spotted in Dartmoor -- a national park in the southwest part of the United Kingdom ... pacing the grassy hills without a shirt.

He did cover up his chest a little with a ton of fake blood ... much of it concentrated on his broad shoulders and the upper reaches of his chest and throat.

Yo, Adrian ... check out Anthony Ippolito's form while he runs like Sylvester Stallone in a new movie all about the making of "Rocky."

The actor hit Sly's old stompin' grounds out in Philadelphia to shoot a pivotal scene for the biopic "I Play Rocky" Wednesday ... with cameras capturing him running up the stairs now known as the "Rocky Steps" -- named after the iconic character who ran up them in the OG movie -- which lead up to the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Check it out ... Ippolito's outfitted in an all-gray track suit and black beanie, just like Stallone wore in the first movie. He successfully makes it up the steps and bounces around in triumph -- before collapsing at the end of the shot.

American actor Steele Stebbins was just a teen when he played Kevin in the comedy/adventure film "Vacation" back in 2015.

Stebbins was amongst many Hollywood greats like Christina Applegate, Ed Helms, and Beverly D'Angelo.

Ariana Grande had Jimmy Fallon flying off the handle with her wicked wand skills while promoting "Wicked: For Good" on 'The Tonight Show' Tuesday evening.

Check out the clip -- she told Jimmy she's a bit rusty ... and then effortlessly twirled her wand around, totally impressing the audience. It seems like playing Glinda certainly changed Ariana for good -- at least in the wand department!

The pop star and actress had a ball of a time with Jimmy on 'The Tonight Show,' where they also performed a medley of famous duets ... including but not limited to "For Good" from "Wicked," Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell’s "Ain’t No Mountain High Enough," Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s “Shallow,” Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine" and "APT." by ROSÉ and Bruno Mars. Talk about talent!

As you know, Ariana and with her "Wicked" costars are currently promoting the sequel to 2024's film. They all reunited to create a new rap for 'The Tonight Show' on Monday, playing off their viral video from last year, which summarized the musical's storyline.

It hasn't been all fun and games, though ... last week, a crazed fan nearly tackled Ariana on the red carpet at the movie's Singapore premiere. He has since been charged with being a public nuisance and reportedly sentenced to 9 days in jail.
