Jamie Foxx is turning up his holiday celebration to 10 this year -- his mega-mansion should be visible from space, now that he's pulled out all the stops on Christmas decorations!

JF's sprawling Agoura Hills property looks like something straight out of a Christmas flick -- starting with the word "JOY" displayed on the guy's front lawn, shining bright for all to see.

His driveway is lined with lights, his front fountain has Santa and a snowman, and the estate even has some MASSIVE Christmas trees decorated to the 9's ... safe to say, there isn't much of Jamie's 20k-square-foot home not doused in the Christmas spirit!

As you know, Jamie was hospitalized back in April with his mystery illness, and he spoke out about that ordeal earlier this week at the Critics Choice Association Awards ... saying his life was almost cut short.

Chevy Chase is falling hard for the holidays, but not in a good way -- he tumbled off a stage during a 'Christmas Vacation' event, and despite Clark Griswold's smartwatch having some serious concerns ... he's doing fine.

Chevy was greeting fans Wednesday night at Shea's Performing Arts Center in Buffalo, NY ... where they screened his National Lampoon holiday classic, but as you can see in this clip we got, the Q&A sesh got off to a rocky start.

For some reason, Chevy was rolled out onstage in a wheelchair, but quickly stood up and started walking toward the crowd ... before suddenly dipping out of sight, as he stepped right off the stage!

He eventually got up and back to his seat onstage with help from his wife, Jayni, and the Q&A's host ... and the whole room had a laugh when Chevy's smartwatch called him out for his tumble!

Folks in the audience told us he ended up doing the event with an icepack on his knee but still stuck around to snap some pics with fans and answer questions.

Sources close to Chevy tell us he simply misjudged the edge of the stage when walking out -- saying the stage lights on him blacked it out ... but he's doing just fine, apart from a bruised knee.

Jeremy Renner plays Hawkeye, but 'The Avengers' star looked more like Iron Man while traveling through NYC's JFK Airport ... thanks to a compression device he has to wear nearly 1 year after his horrific snowplow accident.

The actor wore 2 of the devices -- used to improve blood flow and reduce pain and swelling -- strapped to his lower legs ... along with some warm winter threads during his Wednesday travel plans.

Though, Jeremy has already come a long way since miraculously surviving the ordeal of being crushed by his snowplow on New Year's Day.

As well as his broken bones, he also suffered a collapsed lung and punctured liver ... but defied the odds a mere 10 weeks later as he began to walk with the aid of a cane.

Video footage captured the horror of the accident ... with a team of medics racing to save his life before he was eventually airlifted to the hospital in critical condition.

As well as the actions of the first responders, Jeremy told Jimmy Kimmel months later that his survival was down to pure luck.

Ken Hudson Campbell -- who played Santa in "Home Alone" -- is hoping for a Christmas miracle ... after kickstarting a GoFundMe for help after his recent cancer diagnosis.

Campbell -- who's also appeared in other beloved classics such as "Groundhog Day" and "Armageddon" during his 35-year career span -- was diagnosed in late Oct after a tumor "elusively grew on the bottom of his mouth and began encroaching on his teeth."

The statement on the GoFundMe says he's scheduled for a 10-hour surgery to remove the tumor Thursday ... which will also remove a large part of his jawbone.

Additionally, he'll undergo reconstructive surgery and rounds of radiation and chemo ... with a lengthy 6-month recovery period.

Unfortunately, Ken lost his SAG-AFTRA health insurance in Jan 2022 following the pandemic ... and even though he's found new insurance, substantial out-of-pocket costs are still anticipated -- hence the GFM.

At the time of writing, it has reached a little over $58K of its $100K goal.

Susan Sarandon's antisemitic rant has now cost her a role in a project -- just the latest hit to her career after she bashed Jews.

The actress has been dropped from a short film she was set to star in called "Slipping Away" -- this according to the co-founder of the production company that was putting it together.

David Barroso of PTO Films tells Page Six ... "As a company, PTO Films would like to make it clear that Susan Sarandon’s views do not reflect the opinions of our organization. We were considering her for a short film, but due to her recent statements, we have decided to pursue other options."

"Slipping Away" had been listed as an upcoming title on Sarandon's IMDb page, but it's gone now. There are 4 other future productions she's attached to -- three of them are in post-production and one is still in pre-production. Unclear if her roles in those are affected yet.

Remember ... Sarandon caught heat for speaking up at a pro-Palestine rally in NYC recently, but what she said specifically ended up costing her. The antisemitic comment in question was ... "There are a lot of people afraid of being Jewish at this time, and are getting a taste of what it feels like to be a Muslim in this country."

Jamie Foxx took home some hardware at the Critics Choice Association Awards Monday night, and he got emotional as he opened up about his mystery illness that he says almost killed him.

Jamie accepted the Vanguard Award for his performance in "The Burial" and spoke to the audience for 12 minutes -- it's the first public appearance since he was rushed to the hospital back in April.

Jamie didn't say what triggered the emergency, but he painted a bleak picture, saying he couldn't walk and wouldn't wish what he went through on his worst enemy.

The crowd was eating out of his hand, giving him a standing ovation and cheering him on as he talked about a journey that was almost life-ending.

He said, "I cherish every single minute now ... I saw the tunnel. I didn't see the light."

Sylvester Stallone's inaugural Rocky Day got the coolest reenactment ever -- and it came courtesy of a young, loud fan who knows the movie's lines frontward and backward.

The legendary actor was in Philly Sunday to celebrate the first-ever holiday dedicated to him and his onscreen character -- y'know on account of the fact his film takes place in the City of Brotherly Love and everything ... not to mention his famous statue there in town.

Speaking of that monument, that's where this awesome interaction between Sly and a young fan went down ... where the kid recited Rocky's speech from 'Rocky Balboa,' where he tells his son how hard life is and how you gotta "keep punching."

Check it out ... the little dude goes all in on the delivery here, and SS matched him during part of it. They were going toe to toe in passion -- but the little guy might just take it.

BTW, if this boy looks familiar ... that's because he's actually made a thing of this lately. In fact, he recently did something similar with none other than Hulk Hogan -- who, funny enough, actually once co-starred alongside Sly in one of the 'Rocky' movies.

Looks like the young man is going around and impressing the hell out of the big macho stars from back in the day ... and they're definitely feeling it.

The 2023 Academy Museum Gala looked more like the Academy Awards Sunday night with a seemingly never-ending line of A-list celebs streaming in for the event, while they were all dressed to the nines.

Check out this eye-popping list of Hollywood attendees ... Leonardo DiCaprio, Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey, Selena Gomez, Dua Lipa, Salma Hayek, Jared Leto, Kendall Jenner, Billie Eilish, Hailey Bieber, Demi Moore, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Christina Ricci and Adrien Brody.

And the list didn't stop there. Feast your eyes on these names ... Fantasia Barrino, Tom Blyth, Gael García Bernal, Lupita Nyong’o, Eugenio Derbez, Natalie Portman, Molly Shannon, Simu Liu, Jay Ellis, Mason Gooding, Christopher Briney, Barry Keoghan, Lily Gladstone, Taraji P. Henson, Jon Bernthal, Sterling K. Brown and Niecy Nash.

There were many more, but you get the picture.

The third annual gala was supposed to take place in October to honor Meryl Streep, Oprah Winfrey, Michael B. Jordan and Sofia Coppola. But the event was pushed to Sunday after the Israel-Hamas war broke out in the Middle East.

More stars getting crap thrown at them while they're on stage ... this time it was Florence Pugh, and it happened all the way down in Brazil.

The actress appeared alongside her 'Dune 2' costars Sunday in Sao Paolo for an event called CCXP 2023 -- basically just a Comic Con thing, where they all showed up alongside director Denis Villeneuve and talked about the forthcoming sequel in front of fans.

As their segment was coming to a close ... the entire cast -- including Timothee Chalamet, Zendaya and Austin Butler -- gathered toward the front of the stage to pose together.

Out of nowhere, this thing comes flying in from the audience and smacks Pugh in the mug -- which definitely caught her by surprise ... not to mention everyone else too. All her cast members checked on her to make sure she was okay ... and their time ended awkwardly.

No telling what exactly it was ... but at first glance, one might say it resembles a shrimp.

Unclear if anybody was held to account over this -- if you watch the video, it doesn't look like security is running over to the culprit ... or if much of anything else was done at all. Of course, it goes without saying ... this troubling trend of hurling objects continues even now.

We've seen a lot of performers -- especially musicians -- have to deal with overzealous fans like this here in the States ... but it appears people all over the world are doing it as well.

Johnny Depp hasn't been widely embraced by very many A-listers in Hollywood since his trial with Amber Heard -- but one star's welcoming him back with open arms ... Will Smith.

The two actors were both at the Red Sea Film Festival in Saudi Arabia this past week, and they each walked the carpet separately ... as did other big celebs. But once they got inside, it appears they not only crossed paths ... but brought it in for the real thing, all friendly-like.

Interestingly, Will himself posted a couple clips that show him and Johnny hugging and chatting -- and although the moment is fleeting as part of his larger compilation ... he didn't shy away from it, and he certainly didn't try to hide the fact he palled around with JD.

Now, WS didn't explicitly go out of his way to name Johnny or touch on their meetup in his caption. He simply wrote, "Wow! Thank You Red Sea Film Festival! You have created real Magic — An Oasis of art & creativity! What’s Next? I’m in."

You actually have to watch his post in full to catch the fact they hung out -- but it's there, and it's definitely interesting ... as it appears he's the first big-time star to deal with Johnny in this manner, especially post-trial.

Johnny's "comeback" has been less than lukewarm -- he's appeared in some high-profile campaigns here and there ... but we haven't seen him really splash back onto the Hollywood scene in a major, mainstream way. Ditto for his ex-wife, BTW ... she's at arm's length as well.

Like we said ... Will looks to be the first real A-lister who's accepted Johnny back into the fold -- as a manner of speaking. And, strangely enough, they don't seem to have any real history ... no movies together, and they weren't old friends either from what we can tell.

And yet, here's Will squeezing Johnny tight with no reservations. Considering Will himself has become somewhat embattled of late -- perhaps it's not as crazy as we think.

Will did just say the other day that he's on a healing journey and trying to adjust his outlook on life -- and it would seem that starts with not judging others who've been labeled a certain way. FWIW, Johnny's rep is still incredibly divisive ... even after his in-court victory.

Robert Downey Jr.'s time in the MCU has come and gone -- 'cause the head honcho of the studio just confirmed his character is dead-dead and ain't coming back ... period.

The actor was profiled in a new Vanity Fair piece, and they interviewed Marvel chief Kevin Feige to talk RDJ's time as Iron Man ... including what led up to it, and how it ended -- namely, with his character being killed off in 'Endgame.'

It was a huge moment for the Marvel franchise ... and there's been a lot of speculation Feige and co. would attempt to revive Downey's character in future installments, via alternate universes, etc. Welp, that ain't happening -- 'cause KF says Tony Stark's forever gone.

Of RDJ's departure, Feige explains ... "We are going to keep that moment and not touch that moment again. We all worked very hard for many years to get to that, and we would never want to magically undo it in any way."

'Endgame' director Joe Russo confirmed Downey wouldn't don the suit again ... adding, "We’d already said tearful goodbyes on the last day of shooting. Everybody had moved on emotionally. We promised him it would be the last time we made him do it -- ever."

The way the filmmakers describe it, it's almost like Downey is over Marvel -- which makes sense ... dude's been in the franchise since 2008, when he kicked things off in "Iron Man."

Speaking of that ... Feige says the studio heads at the time were reluctant to cast RDJ at first because of his tumultuous past -- but once they saw his screen tests and audition tapes, they knew they had their man. As it turned out, they bet on the right guy for the job.

Michael B. Jordan had a bad encounter Saturday night ... with a Kia, which is now worse for wear after MBJ veered into it.

The actor crashed his blue Ferrari into a similarly-colored parked Kia at around 11:30 PM in Hollywood.

The LAPD responded and found no signs of Michael being impaired by drugs or alcohol. Cops did not perform a field sobriety test.

Our law enforcement sources say police on the scene asked Jordan, "What happened?" but the 'Creed' star didn't offer an explanation.

There were no injuries or damage to property, other than the Kia and the Ferrari. LAPD told Michael to fill out a police report online.

Michael has been out and about with this Ferrari before -- he was photographed walking away from it in 2021 ... when he was still dating Lori Harvey, so there's no doubt it's his.

A "Barbie" reunion is news, given the insane success of the flick, and it happened in West Hollywood Saturday with the stars front and center.

Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, director Greta Gerwig and others showed up at the Pendry Hotel to celebrate the release of the screenplay book.

Lots of other stars hit up the event, including America Ferrera, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Finneas O'Connell, Mark Ronson, Jon Batiste and former Playboy centerfold/Hefner GF Barbi Benton.

As you know, the movie blasted through the $1 billion mark internationally and continues its roll as an inspiration to women around the world.

Jonathan Taylor Thomas said he'd be home for Christmas, and after disappearing from public life for a long time ... he's here to make good on his promise.

The elusive ex-child star -- who vanished from the big show ten years ago -- surfaced earlier this week in SoCal ... where he was apparently out running errands near his home. As many people have noted, the dude looks almost unrecognizable compared to his childhood.

Nothing all that remarkable in the pic itself ... it's just a guy who's left Hollywood behind minding his business. But considering how big a star he once was -- it is eye-popping.

Remember, the last time we saw JTT making the rounds and signing autographs was way back in 2013, and at the time ... he was very much doing the A-lister thing, embracing cameras, questions and fans. Now, though, it's quite clear -- he wants none of that.

It was around this same time that he opened up to People Mag about why he'd decided to step away ... saying he'd been working since he was a young kid and wanted a break. He also said he didn't want fame to define him, and simply didn't care much about it.

The last time Jon was out in public was during COVID -- when he was spotted walking his dog and laying low. Now, two years later, we're seeing him again ... sans any pooch.

Beyoncé is all set to take the top spot at the box office this weekend with her new concert film — but it’s falling way short of another this year … guess who.

The Queen Bey had a strong first-day start to the weekend with her 'Renaissance' flick — which raked in about $11.5 million between Thursday previews and Friday’s full day of showings. Projections have it pegged to make somewhere in the ballpark of $20-$24 million domestically through Sunday.

Like we said, it’s certainly a solid figure as far as concert films are concerned — especially historically — but it pales in comparison to how Taylor Swift’s 'Eras' movie did in the same window a few months ago … when it made $39 mil domestically between Thur/Fri, and ended up with a huge haul of $92 million for its total opening weekend.

Of course, at this point, the “Eras” tour film has grossed well over $250 million worldwide.

Not to compare the two, but you kind of have to when Bey and Tay are the biggest pop stars in the world … and they both released concert films within a short window. The juxtaposition is only natural, and the numbers are what they are.

It should go without saying … they most certainly support one another regardless, and attended the other’s premiere, respectively -- Bey in L.A. for Tay, and Tay in London for Bey.

And yes ... they posed together on both occasions, so it's no bad blood whatsoever -- or so it seems, anyway. Their fervent fan bases tend to be a little more competitive at times.

In any case, the real winner here is AMC — which exclusively distributed both movies and is cleaning up big time. Rather than use an outside studio partner, they did it themselves … and so far, it seems to be paying off.

Jimmy Kimmel better watch his back ... because his 13-year-old nephew, Wesley Kimmel, is banking on taking over Hollywood.

After all ... for his role as Dylan Callahan in the upcoming movie "Red One," the teen's minor contract, obtained by TMZ, unveils his whopping payday of $100K!!!

According to the contract, Wesley pocketed $95K in base pay for his work in the movie and banked an additional $5K for promoting it.

Wesley stars in "Red One" alongside big names Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Kiernan Shipka, and Lucy Liu -- bagging the gig after paying his dues in Disney+ shows such as "The Mandalorian" and "WandaVision."

The movie's official release date is still under wraps ... though considering its festive, action-packed theme, it looks like it'll hit Amazon Prime in the run-up to Xmas.
