Timothée Chalamet’s opera and ballet hot take didn’t just leap onto the stage out of nowhere ... it turns out he’s been trying to make this pointe for years, as a resurfaced clip shows.

A fan video from 2019 shows the actor making a similar comment while promoting “The King” ... telling a crowd he feels centuries-old forms of artistic expression -- like opera and ballet -- are "dying art forms."

It’s a short clip, so the full context isn’t crystal clear ... but it looks like TC was reflecting on his career path when he casually slipped in the comment -- and seven years later, he’s basically doubled down, sparking fresh backlash.

Britney Spears has some hurdles in front of her after her recent DUI arrest ... but at least her biopic won't be impacted.

A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... the biopic based on her best-selling memoir "The Woman In Me" is still in development ... so the arrest won't affect the project.

"Scary Movie" director David Zucker is weighing in on Marlon Wayans' claim that Harvey and Bob Weinstein stole the franchise ... telling TMZ this kind of thing happens in Hollywood all the time, and in his view it's just part of the business.

We caught up with David in L.A. Thursday, and while he says he doesn’t know every detail of the situation, he defended a studio's right to make creative decisions ... pointing to his own experience with his "Naked Gun" franchise.

ICYMI, Marlon accused the Weinstein brothers of swiping the original "Scary Movie" concept -- which started as a Wayans family idea back in 2000 -- with the studio Miramax claiming it and running with the idea, continuing to make sequels without their involvement.

We're told Robinson passed away "peacefully" on February 15.

Robinson broke into the movie business in the mid-1980s after proudly serving in the United States Army and having great success in the automobile industry.

Hindsight is 20/20 for Terrence Howard -- 'cause he's looking back at the time he lost out on a massive Marvel payday ... because he threatened to knock the teeth out of a big-time producer.

Howard dished all on the “PBD Podcast," saying the drama started during the promo run for the film "The Brave One," when he confronted producer Joel Silver over why his name wasn’t billed above the title alongside Jodie Foster. Joel told him it was because TH had a supporting role ... an explanation Terrence says he understood, but he still reacted aggressively.

According to Howard, his temper flared, and he warned Silver that if he ever spoke to him like that again, he’d knock his teeth out. Yikes.

Zendaya is seemingly having the time of her life amid a claim by her stylist she and Tom Holland secretly got hitched.

Christina Applegate gave an unflattering account of disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein in her new memoir "You With the Sad Eyes" ... and he had nothing but praise for her in return.

Here's the deal ... the actress and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) advocate wrote about a brief interaction with Harvey at a Hollywood party in her new book ... saying she called him out when she allegedly overheard him making distasteful remarks about another woman. She writes that Harvey was "definitely afraid" of her after that ... because she's a woman who doesn't mess around.

And, Harvey didn't deny a single thing about her account ... and is instead applauding her strength and honesty. Through a spokesperson, Harvey tells TMZ she's a "gifted actress and a powerful voice in Hollywood," adding ... "It’s good to see her sharing her story and her perspective in her own words." “I do not remember running into Christina Applegate or having that conversation.”
