Alan Cumming has officially spoken out about Tourette syndrome activist John Davidson shouting the N-word at The British Academy Film Awards in February ... labeling the annual ceremony a "trauma triggering s***show."

Alan -- who hosted the Feb. 22 show -- shared his apology on Instagram Tuesday ... saying he's sorry for "all the pain Black people have felt at hearing that word echoed round the world" -- and also to the Tourette's community for the onslaught of negative comments due to the world's "lack of understanding and tolerance" about the neurological disorder.

He even directed some shade at the BAFTAs and BBC network, noting ... "We were all let down by decisions made to both broadcast slurs and censor free speech." But he acknowledges "all trauma must be recognised and honoured."

Hailey Glassman -- best known as Jon Gosselin's ex-girlfriend -- and celebrity makeup artist Daisy Toye, a longtime glam pro for Martha Stewart, have joined the cast of "The Real Housewives of New York City" for season 16.

Hailey, who's a public relations pro, shot to fame in 2009 when she dated Jon in the immediate aftermath of his explosive split from Kate Gosselin. The two were together for several months with their whirlwind romance playing out in the tabloids before they ultimately called it quits by the end of 2009.

Daisy, meanwhile, brings serious polish to the franchise. She's spent years working high-profile shoots, red carpets and media appearances. Daisy's connection to New York City's elite social and beauty circles makes her a natural fit for the franchise's next era.

Production sources tell TMZ ... the hit Hulu series is not currently in production. We're told typically, if filming were taking place in the United States, the cast and crew would be gearing up to start around this time. However, because the upcoming season is set to film in London, our sources say production isn't scheduled to begin for a couple more months.

We're told no production schedules have been affected following the death of Short's daughter, Katherine Short.

Ron Funches absolutely torched his costars on "The Traitors" ... with Porsha Williams catching a considerable amount of the heat as his main punchline!

In a recent stand-up set, Ron joked Porsha had his suspicion levels through the roof on the show, saying he was convinced she was a full-blown traitor, until the rest of the cast shut that theory down fast, telling him she wasn’t a mastermind ... just "dumb as f***."

The bit keeps escalating ... Ron says when he later Googled her, fans were stunned he didn’t know exactly how dumb she really was.

American actor and singer Hunter Parrish was only 18 years old when he first started playing Silas -- the popular, naïve high school student focused on girls -- on the popular show "Weeds" back in 2005.

Hunter was part of an ensemble cast including Mary-Louise Parker, Justin Kirk and Elizabeth Perkins.

This actor and musician has had a wide variety of roles across his career, on big screens and small, as well as in the studio … can you guess who he is?

He once spent Days of his life on a soap opera … and did a large amount of work in a Small town … he's definitely one to hang out with The Boys, even spending time on a famous Creek, after getting a Bloody Valentine … he's also got three albums out, if you prefer listening over looking.

The 32nd annual Actors Awards are underway ... and, we've got pics from inside the event -- with numerous moments shown on the broadcast and a few that weren't.

From Kristen Bell opening the show with a song-and-dance number to Connor Storrie and Kathryn Hahn cracking jokes together while presenting an award.

"Marty Supreme" cast members Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow flashed some huge grins while sitting at a table together.

Catherine O'Hara's acting colleagues have honored her with one last trophy ... awarding her a posthumous Actors Award.

The actress was nominated for Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Comedy Series for her part as Patty Leigh in "The Studio" ... and, she won it at Sunday night's ceremony.

When her name was announced, the audience jumped to its feet in rapturous applause ... and, Seth Rogen -- who won his own Actors Award for "The Studio" -- headed to the stage to accept the trophy on O'Hara's behalf.

Martin Short had a difficult last week ... and decided it was best if he didn't attend the Actors Awards Sunday.

The veteran actor was up for the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series -- an award he won last year -- for "Only Murders in the Building ... but, he was the only one of the five nominees not at the ceremony in Los Angeles.

Seth Rogen ended up taking the trophy anyway ... but, it seems clear Martin skipped the ceremony because his daughter, Katherine, passed away last week.

Michael J. Fox says his part in the hit TV show "Shrinking" wasn't just a small little acting gig ... but something much more.

Photographers caught up with the movie and TV star at LAX Saturday ... and he was asked what it was like playing Jerry on the show -- a man with Parkinson's disease, just like himself.

Take a listen for yourself ... Michael says this part was more than just a TV role to him -- though he also added it's nice to go to set and do the work.

Delroy Lindo is addressing the racial slur that was heard during the BAFTA Film Awards last weekend while he and Michael B. Jordan were presenting onstage.

As we reported ... a man identified as Tourette's syndrome advocate John Davidson shouted a racial slur from the audience last Sunday while Lindo and Jordan were at the podium. The remark was picked up on the live broadcast and immediately sparked outrage.

Davidson later said the outburst was the result of his Tourette's syndrome.

"The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" fans can expect a possible West Coast spinoff ... and if it gets the official green light, sources tell us the show could be rolling cameras within weeks!

Production sources connected to the project tell TMZ a pilot episode has already been filmed and shopped around … and now it’s simply a waiting game for a full series pickup.

We’re told March is the tentative target to get cameras back up ... but that all hinges on a network or a streamer making it official ... the foundation is there, and now it's decision time.

Amanda Frances says a reconciliation between herself and Dorit Kemsley seems unlikely ... but, she's laying the blame totally at the other star's feet.

We caught up with the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star in New York City earlier this month ... and we had to ask her about the drama between herself and the star -- which kicked off while filming when Frances claimed Kemsley "outsourced her financial well-being to a man."

As you can imagine, Dorit -- who is going through a messy divorce with PK Kemsley -- took offense at the comment ... and accused Amanda of not being a "girls' girl."
