Brett Gelman is opening up about the recent backlash he's faced for vocally supporting Israel amid its conflict with Hamas in Gaza ... and he thinks it's BS that his gigs are getting nixed.

The "Stranger Things" star joined us Monday on "TMZ Live," where he slammed bookstores for canceling his upcoming appearances over the ongoing controversy in the Middle East.

Brett -- who recently released his book, 'The Terrifying Realm of the Possible' -- confirmed that three different bookstores canceled his promotional appearances amid alleged security concerns.

A California man is competing with Florida Man for weirdest headline of the week -- 'cause he got arrested for walking around and apparently chomping on a human severed leg.

The dude's name is Rosendo Tellez. and he got busted Friday out near Bakersfield -- in a small town called Wasco -- after eyewitnesses saw him strolling through town with what looked to be an entire limb that was attached to a person just earlier in the day.

Kern County officials say the leg was illegally taken from the scene of a train accident that morning -- when Tellez is alleged to have swooped it up after a man was hit and killed at the Amtrak station in town. Not too long after that ... citizens say they spotted Tellez holding it.

Jake Paul's speed-skating superstar girlfriend, Jutta Leerdam, threw on a bikini and took a swim during a lavish getaway recently ... showing off her incredible, Olympic-worthy body while snorkeling through the water.

The Problem Child and Dutch athlete got some R&R in Costa Rica ... soaking in the sun, enjoying the wildlife and having plenty of time at sea.

The couple of about a year have been inseparable throughout the trip ... sharing plenty of PDA snaps as they celebrated their love.

Anne Hathaway says people in the public really didn't like her after she won her Oscar -- so much so, studios steered clear ... that is, until Christopher Nolan came knocking (again).

The actress opened up about to Vanity Fair about all the hate she was receiving in the early 2010s -- which reached its peak in 2013 when she took home a statuette for her role in "Les Misérables" ... when she gave a heartfelt (but to some, cringe-worthy) acceptance speech.

This phenomenon -- known at the time as "Hathahate" -- had actually been building up for a few years, going back to 2011 when she hosted the Oscars with James Franco. Even then, people were saying they found her a little too sincere, awkward and "annoying."

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce got hot and heavy in the Bahamas last week -- making out in the water while they were stripped down to their bathing suits ... and it's a familiar sight.

The couple got into the ocean Thursday while enjoying Harbour Island -- and they were ready to make out and get cozy on their vacation ... 'cause that's exactly what they did, not just among the waves but on the actual beach as well.

Take a look at the hot pics for yourself -- Taylor was all over Travis while he held her as they took a dip ... with one arm wrapped around his body, and the other hand holding a drink.

The door Kate Winslet infamously clung to at the end of "Titanic" has sold for a hefty price ... beating out other impressive film memorabilia at an auction.

The slab of wood that played a role in Leonardo DiCaprio's onscreen death recently sold for an impressive $718,750 during Heritage Auctions’ Treasures from Planet Hollywood event -- making it the priciest sale at the auction.

The door -- which is actually a doorframe, according to the auction's notes -- wasn't the only "Titanic" memorabilia sold at the event. The pale purple and pink chiffon dress Kate wore as Rose for most of the film's sinking scenes was also sold ... but only went for $125k.

Timothée Chalamet's at it again ... channeling his inner Bob Dylan while filming for the legend's biopic, "A Complete Unknown," in New York.

You gotta see the vid ... the 28-year-old absolutely nailed the singer-songwriter's signature style Sunday in downtown Manhattan, rocking a brown suede jacket, green pants, shades, and perfectly messy hair while stepping out of a car with a cigarette in hand.

The 'Dune' actor brings Dylan's swagger to life crossing the street outside El Quijote, the restaurant inside the Hotel Chelsea -- the very spot where the musical legend found his inspo!

Jonathan Majors isn't staying out of the spotlight amid his legal woes -- just ask the riders of the TMZ Tour ... who caught the dude in the flesh, and heard him flex his pipes!

Check out this video we got of JM from last week, when our tour guide spotted him driving next to our bus in the middle of a tour of Los Angeles. He was nice enough to chat with us and our guests for a bit ... and once he learned it was someone's birthday, he started singing.

Looks like Jon was riding solo here with his pup, but nonetheless ... he gave it his all.

Tana Mongeau is having a good laugh at the expense of fellow internet star JoJo Siwa  ... who's now trying to be "bad" after years of being cute, cuddly and kid-friendly.

Tana posted a video over the weekend mocking JoJo's new song "Karma" -- in which she's reciting some of the lyrics ... and then posing a question on whether JS is actually a "bad girl" now as she proclaims.

There's another video Tana posted that continued to poke fun at JoJo's song ... you can clearly tell TM's not taking JoJo seriously, and she thinks she's jumping the shark here.

Donald Trump's catching a bit of a break yet again ... his hefty multi-million-dollar bond in his New York civil case just got a major trim, and he may just be able to pay it off.

A NY appeals court sliced DT's civil fraud judgment bond from a staggering $454 million down to $175 million Monday ... plus they're tossing in an extra 10 days for him to rustle up the cash after his legal squad said they were hitting roadblocks securing the dough.

The ruling comes on the same day New York Attorney General Letitia James would've started trying to enforce the judgment against Trump in this case -- namely, by initiating the gears of attempting to seize his assets, including cash he might have and even properties.

A college basketball player seemed to suggest Kylie Jenner was recently trying to holler at him -- but unfortunately for him ... that couldn't be further from the truth, TMZ has learned.

23-year-old UNC shooting guard Paxson Wojcik was leaning into this notion that Kylie was interested in him in the digital world -- at least based on a video a reporter took of him after a game last week ... where the interviewer name-dropped the beauty mogul directly.

Check it out ... Paxson gets peppered with questions by this guy post-game, and the line of questioning is pretty direct -- "What do you have to say about rumors that Kylie slid into your DMs???" BTW, there really weren't any rumors until his homeboy floated this online.

Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun says he's jumping ship, he plans to call it quits by the end of this year ... amid the company's ongoing safety fiascos.

In a statement Monday, Calhoun straight-up acknowledged Boeing's challenges, saying, "The eyes of the world are on us, and I know that we will come through this moment a better company."

He added, "We will remain squarely focused on completing the work we have done together to return our company to stability after the extraordinary challenges of the past five years, with safety and quality at the forefront of everything that we do."

'Euphoria's third season has been put on ice -- and it seems the reason is because a lot of their cast is blowing up ... which makes ya wonder if the show's now in their rearview.

HBO is addressing a report that claimed Season 3 of the series had been scrapped entirely, telling TMZ ... "HBO and Sam Levinson remain committed to making an exceptional third season. In the interim, we are allowing our in-demand cast to pursue other opportunities."

While the network says they plan to get back to "Euphoria" at some point, Deadline reports there's no firm production start date -- even though filming was supposed to start soon.

Drake's A-list rap friends are dumping on him after Kendrick Lamar's shots, but he's taking it in stride ... at least, while the public's watching!!!

During his Sunday night show in Sunrise, FL, Drake confronted the internet-breaking backlash from Kendrick's lyrical thrashing of him and J. Cole with a bit of defiance.

“I got my head up high, my back straight, I’m ten f***ing toes down… and I know no matter what there’s not another n**** on this Earth that could ever f*** with me.”

Looks like the suspects in the Moscow concert hall terror attack are getting roughed up while in custody -- they were severely bruised, and barely conscious during their first court appearance.

The suspected terrorists were photographed Sunday in a Russian courtroom, where they appeared to have cuts and bruises on their swollen faces as they faced terrorism charges following Friday's carnage. In fact, Saidakrami Rachabalizoda, a 30-year-old suspect, entered the court with a bandage around his ear and several noticeable bruises on his face.

32-year-old Dalerdzhon Mirzoyev was also photographed with a black eye as he sat behind plexiglass for the appearance in court. He also appeared to have the remnants of a plastic bag around his neck.

Joe Biden took time out of his Sunday night to throw a jab at Donald Trump ... trolling the former president for receiving golf awards at his own course.

No. 45 got the honors at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida ... earning the titles of Club Champion and Senior Club Champion -- and afterward, he gloated about it on Truth Social.

In his post, Trump said he got the trophies over a talented field ... writing, "The qualifying and match play was amazing."
