"Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" fired up the box office this weekend, and the whole franchise passed an impressive milestone ... but some are saying producers shouldn't count their ghosts before they materialize.

According to reports, 'Ghostbusters' is projected to make $45.2 million in its opening weekend domestically -- taking the top spot by a wide margin over some incumbent champions of the theater.

Meanwhile, the movie got off to a mediocre start internationally ... taking home just $16.1 million in 25 global markets -- still, enough for an impressive opening weekend total of $61 million.

Trevor Etienne -- the college football star and brother to Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne -- has been arrested for DUI ... TMZ has confirmed.

A representative with the Athens-Clarke County jail tells TMZ ... Trevor was booked at 4:35 AM ET on a DUI charge.

He was also charged with reckless driving, failure to maintain lane/improper driving on the road, and affixing materials that reduce visibility of windows/windshield.

Rob Lowe's ringin' in a new decade right ... partying hard at a rager in Los Angeles -- with as much star power as the Oscars red carpet.

The film and television star turned 60 last week, but celebrated big by the beach in beautiful Santa Monica this weekend ... and, the guy's got a ton of celebs from his more than 40 years in Hollywood who showed up to get down.

Cameron Diaz and her man Benji Madden -- who just welcomed another kid into the world, BTW -- pulled up to support RL on his big day ... enjoying a nice couple's night out while leaving the kiddos at home.

Tom Sandoval's celebrating a milestone in a loud way ... blasting "Happy Birthday" on a trumpet -- and, we're told not everyone was diggin' it.

Check out the video, obtained by TMZ ... there's Tom, right behind the bar at Fox Fire -- a local Los Angeles hot spot -- gettin' the place to quiet down before lifting up the brass and playing the first few notes.

Some of the crowd gets into it, singing along to the beginnings of the tune ... but, our sources say some of the people closer to the back weren't loving the serenade -- seemingly annoyed with TS.

BTW ... we're told Tom was with a lovely lady at the bar -- unclear what their relationship might be, but Sandoval is one of the most eligible bachelors around.

Also ... unclear where Tom got the trumpet from -- but, we don't imagine he's lugging it around on a bar crawl. So, it's possible the bar had one, and it was just calling his name.

Obviously, Tom's super talented ... he's the frontman of a pretty popular cover band "Tom Sandoval & The Most Extras" -- so, he's just proving once again he's got that talent for music.

FWIW ... Tom's talked about playing his trumpet before -- saying playing it's always a deep, meaningful expression of himself. Some of his costars were less enthusiastic.

Kanye West's wife, Bianca Censori, engaged in a shocking coverup Saturday night, hiding her body under a fur coat ... presumably because they were chowing down with North West.

Ye, Bianca and his 10-year-old daughter hit up Nobu. and BC arrived in a full, furry coat and leggings to boot!

North was into the attention as they arrived, smiling at the paparazzi. Kanye and Bianca ... not so much.

Bianca's fit is in sharp contrast to what she has not been wearing lately -- namely, clothes.

She stopped shoppers dead in their tracks a few days back, wearing very little as they grabbed some grub at the Cheesecake Factory at The Grove in L.A.

Bianca's dad is none too pleased about what's happened to his architect daughter, who almost never utters a word in public. According to the Daily Mail, he called her a "trashy naked trophy pony."

Kim Kardashian has been interacting with Bianca at a few events lately, and maybe KK got in her ear.

Kate Middleton's uncle is no fan of Meghan Markle, and he blasted her in an interview last week with The Times in London, but now he's apologizing in the wake of Kate's cancer diagnosis.

According to The Times, Gary Goldsmith has nicknamed Meghan "Laughing Girl," telling the paper a week ago, “Let’s face it, Laughing Girl isn’t going to be around forever, is she? I think she’s fickle. And I think she’s so bad for Harry and for our country.”

Seems GG is harboring bad blood after Meghan accused a Royal or 2 of making racist comments about Archie and his skin color, and he believes she was zeroing in on Kate.

He added, "The idea that Laughing Girl says Kate is racist makes me furious. Kate knows her family’s roots and is proud of them. I’m sorry, but Laughing Girl is not good people.”

Goldsmith claims it wasn't always this way, saying, “William, Harry and Kate were such a happy little trio and it got totally ruined. With all that going on — and there is other stuff going on that is not in the public domain — are they at their absolute happiest? No. Their kids bring them a lot of joy, but no.”

Now he's apologized on X ...  "This interview and shoot was done over a week ago and went to print before I was aware of the sad news regarding my niece Kate. My thoughts and prayers are with Kate and the wider family at this difficult time and deeply upset at the timing of this article."

Honey Boo Boo ain't messin' around when it comes to her cash ... threatening Mama June with some legal drama for "stealing" her money.

Here's the deal ... the reality stars sat down for another money-related discussion on this week's episode of "Mama June: Family Crisis" -- with June handing over checks for her daughter Alana -- better known as Honey Boo Boo.

The small amount of money HBB receives shocked Mama's daughters who interrogate her about it ... before eventually admitting she spent some cash on cost of living expenses, like clothes and food.

That certainly upset her daughter ... who says in a confessional that she may need to consider legal action against her mom -- adding she feels June's stolen from her.

It seems like Alana's fed up with her mom ... 'cause this isn't the first time they've quarreled over cash.

Remember ... just last week, an episode came out where Honey Boo Boo said she felt her mom always had money for everyone else, but never for her -- and she accused her mom of spending more on her husband's gold chains than her own college.

Now, we know these episodes were shot a while ago ... 'cause the family's talking about Alana's college tuition money, and we know she's already in school. She's studying nursing in Colorado, and she says she received a $21,000 scholarship.

Daisy de la Hoya received a helping hand from some fellow Hollywood stars who are also sober and familiar with what she experienced during a mental health breakdown.

Jennifer Gimenez, formerly of "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" fame and her husband, Tim Ryan from A&E's "Dope Man" tell TMZ ...  they teamed up with actor Corey Feldman and his manager, Dave Altman to help get Daisy into a mental health treatment center.

Jennifer and Tim tell us Daisy's seeing a therapist daily and is going through the 12-step program. This, of course, comes after Daisy was accused of stalking "90 Day Fiancé" stars Mariah Fineman and Tom Brooks ... which she denies.

Jennifer and Tim say Daisy is journaling a lot, working on music, and has already acknowledged she had a problem -- which Jennifer and Tim say is a huge step in the right direction, and one that takes a whole lot to admit.

Corey's manager is currently caring for her dog.

Jennifer and Tim -- both recovering addicts who care for people in long-term recovery -- say Daisy was fragile when she entered treatment, but they're already seeing her turn the corner.

It's great to hear she's doing much better now ... all thanks to some great celeb friends!

Aaron Taylor-Johnson gettin' his license to kill it as James Bond from a former 007 ... who tells us ATJ's got the toughness to handle the secret agent life.

George Lazenby -- who played Bond in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" -- gave Aaron his seal of approval ... saying the 33-year-old can handle the stunts, and all the ladies who love a man in a tux.

Worth noting, Aaron's already got a leading lady of his own -- director/producer Sam Taylor-Johnson ... but we get where George is goin'.

Lazenby adds he's pretty sure Aaron doesn't have the part yet ... 'cause when he auditioned for the part back in the 1960s, he went through a bunch of different tests and auditions before he won the role.

James Bond has gone totally international now, according to George ... who points out the character's been played by people of different nationalities over the past 60 years, including a Scot, a Welshman, an Irishman, multiple Englishmen, and George himself, who is Australian.

Because of that variety of national origins, Lazenby says he's fine with wherever the actor happens to hail from ... as long as they do the character justice.

Mike Perry's the face of BKFC ... so, we asked Platinum, what's your dream bare-knuckle fight?!

His answer ... "Jake Paul!"

32-year-old Perry sat down with Babcock on the "TMZ Sports" TV show (airs weeknights on FS1) from the TMZ office this week when we asked him who resided at the top of his hit list.

"Jake Paul, man," Mike said ... "If he hurts Mike Tyson, bro, let me get that, bro."

Perry's a huge fan of Iron Mike Tyson, BTW ... and obviously stands ready to get some payback if The Problem Child hurts Tyson during their July 20th scrap at AT&T Stadium in Texas.

Perry and Paul -- 9-1 as a pro boxer -- have some history. Mike briefly served as a sparring partner for Jake in 2021 before his fight with Ben Askren (Jake knocked out the retired MMA star). Suffice it to say, the men have different views on who got the best of the other.

But, before we start dreaming of a Perry vs. Paul mega fight, Mike has his gloveless hands full with Thiago Alves ... the combat sports vet he's set to scrap with at Knucklemania 4 on April 27 at the Peacock Theater.

Perry, who may well have been made for bare-knuckle boxing, is 4-0 in the promotion ... with wins over Eddie Alvarez, Julian Lane, Michael Venom Page, and Luke Rockhold.

Mike says he plans to show up next month in an even more dangerous form ... a scary proposition.

Jake Gyllenhaal's looks over the years are kick-ass!

Here is a 20-year-old version of the blue-eyed actor showin' some sexy stubble at the "Donnie Darko" Hollywood Premiere back in 2001 (left). In addition to playing Homer Hickam in "October Sky", this was a breakout role for Mr. Gyllenhaal.

And, more than 20 years later ... all eyes were recently on a scruffier and tougher Jake -- at the New York premiere of his newest film "Road House" where he plays an ex-UFC fighter-turned-bar bouncer -- in London, England (right).

His dashing looks have ABS-olutely put up a fight in Hollywood, but the question here is ...

For all you Mozart buffs out there, there's a piece of memorabilia up for grabs: his signature -- but here's the catch -- you need some seriously deep pockets if you want to snag it.

Gotta Have Rock and Roll has the legendary composer's signature up for auction -- and it's expected to fetch anywhere from $100k to a whopping $200k -- with the bidding kicking off at $75,000.

Mozart's signature, written in black ink, has been authenticated and graded (NM-MT 8) by PSA/DNA, the top dog in third-party authentication for autographs and memorabilia. So, rest assured, it's the real deal!

Mozart's full name was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and he's widely regarded as the most influential Austrian composer of the Classical period ... and his musical legacy continues to resonate and inspire to this day.

Despite his short life -- he passed away at just 35 in 1791 -- Mozart's incredible productivity led to over 800 works spanning nearly every classical genre of his era.

Hidden within this cute cheeky chick is an actress and cooking TV personality born in Ontario, Canada. She may not be a trained chef, but her cooking show and two cookbooks prove she know's what she's doin' in the kitchen!

Most recently, you've seen her out and about with Lindsay Lohan as they're starring in a movie together. Perhaps one of the most famous WAGS to a Golden State Warrior, she currently has a bun in the oven, and will soon have 4 cute kiddos to look after.

Kristin Cavallari's lookin' head over heels for her new man Mark Estes, holding hands and flashing sweet looks on their way to dinner in L.A.

The happy couple strolled into Sugarfish -- a classy sushi joint in ritzy Beverly Hills ... and KC was dressed to impress, hot leather pants pulled up high.

The couple grabbed a bite to eat before having a car pick them up ... and, Cavallari even helped a pap figure out who the 24-year-old looks like -- pointing to one legendary actor.

Watch the clip yourself to hear the comparison ... and, check out the demeanor too. Lots of laughin' and flirtin' -- great to see the new couple's still in that honeymoon phase.

Remember ... Cavallari went public with her relationship not long after we posted photos of her and Estes hangin' out down in Cabo -- lookin' fabulous while riding a tram at the airport headed for customs.

Cavallari's since detailed more specific info about her new dude ... taking to her podcast to talk about how fate seemingly brought the two together.

And, the happy couple seems to be gettin' serious -- 'cause Cavallari shared a snap where Estes appeared to be deep in convo with one of her three kiddos ... definitely looks like more than just casual dating.

The death count in Friday's tragic Moscow mass shooting is much higher than originally believed ... according to Russia's President Vladimir Putin.

The controversial head of state reportedly told the nation during a televised address that 133 people had been killed in the vicious attack at Crocus City Hall, a concert venue on Moscow's Western outskirts.

Putin likens the shooters to Nazis ... saying they killed in an organized fashion, aiming for Russian citizens and even children.

ISIS has claimed responsibility for the attack, but President Putin laid the blame squarely at the feet of Ukrainian officials ... saying they were working to let the perpetrators cross the border into their country.

FWIW ... an anonymous United States official told The Washington Post there's no reason to doubt the Islamic State's claim.

As we reported ... videos from the tragic shooting went viral -- showing graphic scenes of death and destruction at the music hall. People huddled behind chairs while gunshots echoed around the structure, and initial estimates put the death count at above 40.

Explosives were reportedly used during the attack, resulting in the whole building catching fire.

Officials in Western countries warned their citizens about venturing out to large public gatherings this month in the aftermath of Putin's recent election victory ... warning of possible terror attacks.

At least one man was detained by police last night ... caught on video being frisked with his hands up against a wall. It's unclear how many people were detained or how many were involved in the mass shooting.

A controversial royal family biographer is in some hot water for a tweet he posted minutes before Kate Middleton announced her cancer diagnosis.

Omid Scobie -- who wrote a controversial book on the royal family last year -- shared a tweet of him setting an alarm for 6 PM on Friday ... the time in England when Kate Middleton shocked the world by revealing she has cancer.

And, right after the Princess of Wales revealed the info, two things happened -- Scobie took the tweet down, and social media raked him over the coals.

Comments calling the tweet tasteless and attacking Omid's character ran rampant across X ... and the journalist ultimately had to address the online controversy after several media outlets picked up the news.

In another tweet posted Friday, Scobie explains he didn't know what the announcement was about, and only wanted to alert his followers to the news -- deleting his post shortly after watching Middleton's video.

Scobie expresses his frustration with the outlets who reported the story, saying they ran with the post as if it were a sick "countdown" to the news ... which he says was never his intention.

It's not totally shocking some people may think Omid was making light of the news ... 'cause he's quite the controversial figure in the royal realm. Remember, Scobie wrote the book "Endgame" which made some serious claims about the royal family.

Among them, two senior royals were alleged to have made racist comments about Meghan and Harry's children. Though they were supposed to go unnamed, a Dutch translation of the book listed them ... as King Charles and Princess Kate.

Scobie's said the two were erroneously identified ... but, the book left a sour taste in many people's mouths -- and it appears Scobie's no longer getting the benefit of the doubt, especially when it comes to the Princess of Wales.
