Jonathan Majors was supposed to have an Oscar-buzzy film come out this year -- but that ain't happening now, 'cause Disney's hitting pause ... this amid his pending assault trial.

The actor's bodybuilding drama, "Magazine Dreams," has been yanked indefinitely by the Mouse House ... which was due to release this flick under its Searchlight Pictures subsidiary in early December. As of now, though, the film's release date has been moved to "unset."

The timing is no surprise, considering JM's criminal trial has been scheduled to start on Nov. 29 ... just a week or so before "Magazine Dreams" was originally set for its debut. Considering Disney doesn't know which way things will go in court -- they're hedging their bets on him.

Strangely enough ... they proceeded with season 2 of "Loki," which heavily features Majors -- and which has actually gotten rave reviews of late, especially for his performance as Kang.

The guy finds himself in limbo at the moment -- on the one hand, Disney seems to have stood by him by not replacing him in the MCU and by trotting out "Loki" without issue ... but on the other hand, they're slowing their roll on a film that solely focuses on him as the star.

Of course, there's the actors' strike that's ongoing -- so that, too, could be playing into this.

Muddying up the waters even further, of course, have been all the twists and turns in Majors' case itself ... including the fact that the NYPD arrested his accuser/ex-GF, Grace Jabbari, on suspicion of assault -- even though the Manhattan D.A.'s office says they're not prosecuting.

In other words, her arrest will amount to nothing -- and it proved to be a very strange move by the cops ... showing that they're simply not on the same page with the D.A. there.

The D.A. meanwhile has added apparent extra ammo to their evidence war chest -- throwing in a UK police report of alleged DV in England ... suggesting a separate woman has accused JM of violence as well. The details of that alleged incident, however, aren't clear.

Then, there are all those surveillance pics/videos of Jabbari the night of ... looking quite alright after allegedly getting brutalized. Like we said, the whole thing has been weird as hell.

Kim Kardashian pulled out all the stops at home this spooky season -- 'cause her crib looks like a straight-up haunted mansion that'd make Disney blush ... or haunted estate, more like.

Check out this elaborate house tour that KK posted on social media -- where she takes her fans/followers through pretty much the entire grounds of her Hidden Hills property ... which, BTW, is expansive at more than five acres of land and 30,000 square feet in living space.

When you consider how damn big this place is ... it makes the decorations she and her team laid out all the more impressive, because they're super elaborate and, dare we say, dope!

There's a lot to marvel at here ... be it the "cemetery" of plaster-molded hands, which are apparently made in the shapes of real people in her household -- including her kids, and even her chef. That, or the two massive skull-plated pillars standing outside her front door.

Even the interior is pimped out in Halloween-themed decor ... including candles, cobwebs and hooded dummies that line her looooong and wide hallway -- which itself is kinda freaky.

One last honorable mention in Kim's Halloween home makeover ... the haunted guest house.

Sounds like she/the kiddos are big fans of the holiday because there's no way any of this was cheap -- which just shows Mama Bear will spare no expense to make the fam happy.

'Memba this is the home Kim won in the divorce from Kanye ... and she's certainly making it her own. The only question we have -- how much are tickets to this ghoulish maze???

3:27 PM PT -- The State of Israel is fuming over Elon's pledge to help Gaza -- with its Minister of Communications saying his attempt to intervene is only going to bolster terrorists.

Shlomo Karhi took to Twitter to write, "Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight this.  HAMAS will use it for terrorist activities. There is no doubt about it, we know it, and musk knows it. HAMAS is ISIS."

He adds, "Perhaps Musk would be willing to condition it with the release of our abducted babies, sons, daughters, elderly people. All of them!  By then, my office will cut any ties with starlink."

Elon, meanwhile, has responded ... "We are not so naive.   Per my post, no Starlink terminal has attempted to connect from Gaza.   If one does, we will take extraordinary measures to confirm that it is used *only* for purely humanitarian reasons.  Moreover, we will do a security check with both the US and Israeli governments before turning on even a single terminal."

Elon Musk is coming to the rescue in Gaza -- which is currently being infiltrated by Israel ... and which is effectively cut off from the world in terms of communication and connection.

The multibillionaire tech boss announced this weekend that he'd be lending his Starlink satellite services to people on the ground there ... which will provide Internet access amid a blackout in the area as Israeli forces move in amid their delayed ground operation.

Elon actually broke the news in response to one of his famed foes, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- who was decrying the fact that Israel had made Gaza go totally dark overnight.

Seemingly unprovoked, EM responded directly to the NY congresswoman, writing ... "Starlink will support connectivity to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza." He went on to reiterate this with others, highlighting the UN as one of the orgs that'd get connected.

Of course, his specificity here speaks to the fact that Hamas terrorists are still all throughout Gaza -- which is who the Israelis are attempting to root out and eradicate ... despite an overwhelming call for a ceasefire worldwide, which has erupted into pro-Palestine protests.

In trying to find the ones responsible for the Oct. 7 attack on Israel -- which claimed more than 1,400 innocent lives -- thousands of Palestinians have been killed in retaliation.

The war has become incredibly polarizing, especially here in the States ... but Elon's stepping up and seemingly showing some compassion for Palestinians caught in the middle of this.

Disney's going back to the drawing board for their 'Snow White' reboot -- 'cause they just delayed its release by a year ... and are now promising actual dwarves, albeit fake ones.

The Mouse House made the announcement Friday ... instead of coming out in March, the 'SW' live-action film is slated for Spring 2025. Some cite the ongoing actors' strike as the impetus for this, but others see a far more obvious reason ... a helluva lot of backlash.

That seems to be confirmed with the first official publicity pic Disney released amid the delay news. You see Rachel Zegler (as Snow White) surrounded by the Seven Dwarfs ... only here, they're all completely animated with CGI -- and they're short, just like in the OG.

Why that's taking people by surprise ... earlier this year, set photos from this film leaked prematurely -- which showed 'em doing pickup shots out in the UK, and which appeared to unveil what the "dwarfs" were going to look like in this reimagined 21st-century version.

Instead of using little-person actors to play the dwarves ... Disney opted to cast 6 random people (or typical height) and only 1 little person -- a decision that pissed off many online.

Of course, the whole reason they even went that route was because of Peter Dinklage's very public griping about the whole 'Snow White' story ... which he found demeaning to little people and completely "backwards." As a result, Disney promised to go in another direction.

Now, however, the studio seems to be backtracking yet again -- 'cause here, they're teasing actual dwarves ... which appears to indicate they are, in fact, going to play up the classic.

Of course, if they do animate these dwarves (as is suggested in the promo pic) ... that'll undoubtedly get even more flak -- 'cause it'll make it so no little person actors can snag the coveted gigs. Plus, doing all CGI will cost a crap ton of more money ... so we'll see what Disney actually ends up doing. It's possible these drawn dwarves are just fill-ins for now.

The other element of controversy that Disney has to grapple with is its lead star ... Zegler herself has caught a lot of heat for hating on 'Snow White' and calling it outdated.

Mike Pence is throwing in the towel on his bid for the presidency, 'cause he says it's simply not his time to be commander-in-chief ... but it sounds like politics are still in his future.

The ex-Veep announced Saturday that he was suspending his presidential campaign, which has been going for about 5 months now ... but without much traction, it seems. He dropped the bombshell during a speech he gave for the Republican Jewish Coalition in Vegas.

In MP's remarks, he cites a Bible verse that says "there's a time for every purpose under heaven," adding that after much thought and prayer -- he's realized right now isn't his.

You can kinda hear people in the crowd react with shock ... which changes into cheering.

Pence says while he might be exiting the 2024 race, he isn't abandoning his mission of fighting for "principled conservative values" and helping elect GOP leaders. It's a pretty shocking development -- especially considering he was one of the higher-profile candidates.

Pence positioned himself as a traditional Republican ... aka, someone who stood against Donald Trump/MAGA -- even though he was 45's right-hand man in the WH for 4 years.

That allegiance to Trump -- which was strong throughout his entire presidency -- waned toward the end ... when Pence was thrust into the Jan. 6 insurrection as one of the primary targets ... all because he refused to do Trump's bidding in overturning the election results.

In the years since Jan. 6, Pence has come out firmly against his old boss ... but as far as making an impact as a would-be contender -- he never really gained any serious steam.

Time will tell how long the others can hold out -- at this rate, Trump is far and away the favorite to secure the Republican nomination ... no one else is seriously threatening that.

A YouTuber's bodyguard punched a guy's lights out -- all of which was caught on video ... and which reeks of déjà vu considering he did this before while working for DaBaby.

We're talking about Jack Doherty, who's pretty famous among the Gen Z crowd ... and who posted a wild clip of a violent altercation that went down Friday night during what looks to be some sort of Halloween party here in L.A. alongside fellow YouTuber Corinna Kopf.

It looks like Jack was arguing with a couple guys who were rolling with Corinna and her crew -- all stemming from an apparent snub she dished out to Jack while at the party -- and they're all bickering back and forth for a while ... until this security dude rolls up.

Eventually, he confronts one of the fellas Jack's facing off with ... and they start to exchange words -- which ultimately ends with JD's hired muscle throwing a haymaker out of nowhere.

The guy who gets punched -- who's way smaller than the bodyguard -- falls straight to the ground ... and his friends (including Corinna) start to yell at the perpetrator, asking him why he did that. The bodyguard backs away and tries cussing them out in his defense.

Jack seemed happy to post the clip online, and he added "context" underneath ... writing, "they were pressing us," which seems to mean that the guys he was initially arguing with were threatening him. But based on the longer version of this incident ... that's iffy at best.

Now, here's the kicker ... this bodyguard was actually wrapped up in something similar a few years back while working for DaBaby -- something the Internet was quick to remember.

We actually covered this at the time ... DB was performing in New Orleans, when he started getting swarmed by fans as he waded into the crowd -- at which point, this same man (who was working for DaBaby) threw a similar punch ... only then, he KO'd a freaking lady.

A closer look shows it is, indeed, the same man ... and we've figured out who the hell he is. He goes by Kane Kongg on social media. He's a content creator himself -- but obviously does bodyguard work on the side for the rich and famous.

Hollywood's scariest night was chock-full of costume and make-up-wearing celebs ... but it was Paris Hilton who really turned heads when she walked in as Britney Spears!!!

Paris hit L.A.'s hottest Halloween party -- Casamigos -- Friday night with a slew of A-listers, and she stood out from the pack in her sexy blue stewardess outfit just like the one Britney wore in her 2003 music video for her hit song, "Toxic."

Given all the Britney news -- and drama -- of late, Paris gets an A+ on her Halloween report card for choosing to appear as a super relevant pop culture figure.

The rest of the guest list was also frightening in its star power. Feast your eyes on these bold-faced names ... Justin Bieber, MGK, Megan Fox, Ed Norton, Bill Maher, David Spade, Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber, Austin Butler, Kaia Gerber, Tobey Maguire, Len Wiseman, Brett and Jason Oppenheim, Rachel Lindsay, Brock O'Hurn, Tyga, Saweetie, Alessandra Ambrosio, Paris Jackson, Molly Sims, Scott Stuber, Lauren Conrad, Charlotte McKinney, Sara Sampaio, Rachel Zoe, Rodger Berman and Robin Thicke.

Some of their get-ups were pretty freaky, too ... MGK and Megan went all Quentin Tarantino, dressing up as two bloodthirsty murderers from his "Kill Bill" movies.

The party was killer as well. It was held in a private house in Bev Hills and was packed with costumed revelers.

Everyone was drinking booze from the open bar and munching on tater tots, pizza, grilled cheese and sliders. We're told the vibe was great all around and people had an awesome time.

But don’t forget kiddos … Halloween doesn’t officially kick off until Tuesday.

50 Cent can't get enough of mocking Madonna -- and now he's even poking fun at her butt, reigniting their beef.

The rapper took to Instagram Friday and posted side-by-side photos comparing Madonna in a silver bodysuit performing onstage to an animated black insect.

His caption got even more personal, zeroing in on her rump. It read, "who the f*** did this? She’s rich how the hell she didn’t get it fixed 🤨I want the f***ing doctors name right now. I mean damn it man ! LOL"

Madonna has yet to comment, but she must be pretty miffed at Fitty who has a track record of dissing the legendary pop star. In June 2022, Fitty posted a racy Madonna snapshot next to images of aliens.

He wrote a caption that read, “I hope she didn’t make her kids take this picture. LOL at 63 somebody tell her to chill out please." Fitty has since deleted the post.

Going back further, Fitty took another shot at Madonna's age in December 2021 after she posted sexy photos of herself on social media.

Fitty wrote on IG, "Yo this is the funniest s***! LOL. That's Madonna under the bed trying to do like a virgin at 63. She shot out, if she don't get her old a** up. LMFAO."

In a lengthy response, Madonna, in part, said, "Here is 50 Cent pretending to be my friend. Now you have decided to talk smack about me! I guess your new career [is] getting attention by trying to humiliate others on social media."

Aaron Carter died from a drowning accident, but his son believes the wheels were set in motion by doctors and pharmacies that destroyed Aaron's judgment ... and he's suing them for wrongful death.

Princeton Lyric Carter, the nearly 2-year-old son of Aaron, claims in a new lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, doctors prescribed Hydrocodone, Oxycodone and Alprazolam with no medical justification and knowing Aaron's "mental health and psychiatric condition.

The lawsuit names, among others, Walgreens, claiming the drugs and quantities, along with Aaron's psychiatric issues, should have sounded alarm bells for the pharmacy.

Aaron died November 5, 2022 -- he was found by his housekeeper, dead in his bathtub. The official cause of death was Xanax and huffing that led to drowning.

Princeton's mom, Melanie Martin, filed the suit on his behalf.

Bill Maher was on a tear Friday night, acknowledging a deep state but not the one people talk about.

The 'Real Time' host got real ... it's become impossible in the United States to build anything -- houses, windmills, toilets, you name it -- without jumping through endless hoops of overregulation by legislators and bureaucrats.

BM offers a slew of examples ... a toilet in San Francisco that cost $1.7 million. He says it's needed because the people s**ting and pissing on the sidewalk have been disturbing people breaking into cars.

In S.F., anyone who wants to build a home must secure 87 permits.

And there's this ... Wyoming is building the largest wind farm in North America, but it took 18 years to get approval to START building. As Bill says, when the first paperwork was filled out Leo's GF wasn't even born.

Bill has some history here ... it took him more than a year to get solar at his house, and he let the world know -- many times!

Taylor Swift has been a fixture at a bunch of Travis Kelce's games this season, but that's not gonna happen this weekend ... cuz her multibillion-dollar tour is about to start back up.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Taylor won't be making the trip to Denver Sunday when the Kansas City Chiefs take on Russell Wilson and the Broncos because she's gotta get back into tour mode.

Taylor's first show back from hiatus is slated for November 9 in Buenos Aires, Argentina -- so you gotta imagine there will be some serious rehearsals and meetings before then.

Taylor's been on a 3-month break from her 'Eras' tour -- closing out the first leg of U.S. shows with 6 nights at SoFi Stadium back in August -- but she'll now be touring off and on for the next year internationally with dates in Brazil, Japan, Sweden, Australia, Canada, France, Italy and a whole bunch more.

As we reported, she's also just hit billionaire status -- Forbes says she's worth $1.1 billion thanks to the "Eras" tour -- and credits her for being one of the only artists to hit the milestone solely off touring and recording sales.

Of course, she's likely made the NFL a bunch of money this season in new viewership and jersey sales ... attending a bunch of her boyfriend Travis' games and cheering him on from a private suite with friends from Sophie Turner to Patrick Mahomes' wife, Brittany.

If you've ever wanted to play golf with Jason Bateman and Will Arnett, Zoom chat with Bryan Cranston or visit Ben Stiller on a Hollywood set, here's your chance ... these once-in-a-lifetime experiences are up for grabs, and they support our veterans, too.

Some of the biggest names in Hollywood are teaming up with Homes For Our Troops ... an annual online auction raising funds for injured vets, and once again this year's lineup is incredible.

Jason and Will are auctioning off 18 holes of golf with them at the Bel-Air Country Club ... and Ben's offering a chance to go with him to work on the set of "Severance."

You could also grab lunch in NYC with Lou Diamond Phillips, have Michael Connelly write your name in his next novel or get tickets to Adam Sandler's show and then meet him.

There's some super cool Hollywood memorabilia being auctioned off too ... including items signed by Jon Bon Jovi, Mark Hamill, and Chris Evans.

Jon's contributing an autographed guitar; Mark signed a super rare Luke Skywalker figurine and Chris is offering a personalized video message ... with an autographed 'Captain America' shield and movie poster thrown in for good measure.

Ryan Reynolds is getting in on the action too ... with a rare, autographed Deadpool figurine. Meanwhile, Jennifer Aniston's fundraising with a Fendi bag from her personal collection.

There's also the dress Mindy Kaling wore to Beyoncé's "Renaissance" tour show, and a Wynonna Judd autographed guitar.

Sports fans have something to bid on too ... a basketball signed by the whole "Inside the NBA" crew -- Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley and Shaquille O'Neal. Plus, there's an NFL football signed by Peyton Manning and his Super Bowl champion teammates from the 2010 Indianapolis Colts.

All of the auction's proceeds go to Homes For Our Troops, which builds and donates custom homes for post-9/11 veterans with severe wounds.

Justin Timberlake is taking some serious heat over Britney's memoir, and Mauricio's taking heat as well for some late-night hand-holding. So we gotta ask ...

Cooper Manning says Univ. of Texas fans will need to wait a bit longer to see Arch Manning starring on the field for the Longhorns ... telling TMZ Sports this week his boy has "a little ways to go" still.

Peyton and Eli's big bro was candid with us when speaking about Arch's situation while out at LAX this week ... saying his 18-year-old son is still trying to figure out how to stay afloat in Austin during his first year on UT's campus.

"I mean, he lost his ID early on," Cooper said of Arch with a laugh. "So, baby steps. But I think he's every day trying to get a little better. And I think he's doing that."

Of course, Arch came to Texas with some sky-high expectations ... he was the No. 1-ranked recruit in the country -- and many Longhorns fans expected him to compete for the starting job as soon as he got his burnt orange jersey this year.

But, that hasn't been the case ... Quinn Ewers has been QB1 this entire season -- and even though he's now hurt, Maalik Murphy is expected to get the start this weekend over Arch.

Head coach Steve Sarkisian said there is a chance the young Manning could make his collegiate debut in Saturday's contest vs. BYU -- but he seemed to make it clear that Murphy will be the guy while Ewers is out.

Cooper, meanwhile, doesn't appear to see anything wrong with that ... telling us he expects his freshman son to just need some more time to season up.

"I'm surprised he hasn't lost his key and his car and his book bag and everything," Cooper said. "Freshman year -- you know, the lumps. But he's growing up."

As for Arch's NFL future, Cooper obviously isn't ready to talk about any of that ... telling us, "That's a long way away."

Taylor Swift's recent rerelease of her "1989" album is a big win -- not just for the new stuff, but for the old versions, too, which kinda defeats Taylor's original purpose for rerecording!

According to stats from Spotify and YouTube, the 2014 version of Taylor's iconic album had over 15 MILLION streams after Friday's release of 'Taylor's Version.' YouTube data specifically shows 2.8 million streams on its platform alone -- with a wide majority replaying her music videos like "Blank Space" and "Shake It Off."

On Spotify, she's racked up 12.5M streams for the old album, despite the new music being available ... "Style" was the winner with over 2.5M, while "Blank Space," came in a very close second. Other big hits were "Bad Blood" and "Wildest Dreams."

Amazon data shows CD sales also went through the roof  -- crazy, we know -- with her deluxe version selling 271% more than usual, while her traditional CD jumped up 189%.

That's not all in terms of physical media -- vinyl records of her OG album skyrocketed 210% as well .. moving its rank on the charts from 261 to 84.

Those astronomical increases might sound like great news -- but, remember, Taylor's only rerecording her first 6 albums because she wasn't able to buy the master recordings when Scooter Braun bought her former label, Big Machine.

Sarah Michelle Gellar may have once played cruel, but you better come with 'Cool Intentions' when seeking out the minor changes in these two shots! If you're feeling stumped, just lean on your instincts. You've got this!

The actress recently threw on her leather jacket and sneaks and hit up Buena Park, Cali for Knott's Scary Farm's 50th anniversary, and Gellar stopped for a quick photo-op with one buff pumpkin in an array of autumn foliage. Have you come correct to be the slayer of these discreet differences?
