Before this darling gal in pink turned into an award-winning actress, she was growing up in Argentina with her 5 older siblings, studying ballet until she was 15 and began modeling just a couple years later.

When she's not diving into a character, she's known for her modeling work. Clearly from a young age she enjoyed dressing up, and today she still drapes herself in pearls ... and dresses to the 9s!

She starred alongside Chris Hemsworth in her most recent movie, but you may also remember her as Beth Harmon on Netflix's "The Queen's Gambit."

Michael Blackson thinks Elton John had two choices while shoe shopping in France when nature called ... pee in a bottle or explode!!!

We got the comedian at LAX and our photog asked him about the French storeowner claiming Elton came into his shop and pissed in a plastic bottle in the middle of the store.

The Democratic National Committee is taking shots at Donald Trump for working with Fyre Festival honcho Billy McFarland, saying convicted felons flock together.

Here's the deal ... Rolling Stone reports Billy is helping connect Trump with different rappers to boost his campaign and "court Black voters."

Billy, of course, is famous for his failed Fyre Fest a couple years back in the Bahamas -- a disaster that landed him behind bars for wire fraud and sparked a couple documentaries about the festival.

A&E has a new lawsuit on its hands over its "Secrets of Playboy" docuseries -- a woman claims the network is exploiting old nude images of her without her consent.

In the docs, Jennifer claims she was hired as a dancer in 2001 or 2002 to work an event at the Mansion, and was filmed dancing in nothing but green body paint.

Alec Baldwin's trial for the fatal shooting on the "Rust" movie set begins Tuesday ... and cops are beefing up security out of precaution, TMZ has learned.

Denise Womack-Avila, spokeswoman for the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office, tells TMZ ... due to the actor being so high-profile, and the amount of media interest in the case, additional deputies will be working the courthouse and the surrounding area to maintain peace and safety.

She did not go into specifics about what that might look like as far as numbers -- that's a typical precaution for law enforcement, so as not to tip its hand to the media ... but it's clear AB's presence raises the stakes.

50 Cent's growing TV and film empire is impressing Tyler Perry to no end -- so much so, he tells TMZ Hip Hop he's open to pairing their powerhouse studios for a future project.

Tyler was singing 50's praises when we saw him Monday in NYC ... where we got his reaction to a recent meeting they had at TP studios in Georgia, and from both accounts, things went well enough to blossom future meet-ups.

A family spokesperson announced Monday that Joan, who was the widow of actor Rod Steiger, died on June 24 at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center due to complications from a stroke.

Joan had a remarkable career, kicking things off in the 1950s with "Candid Camera" ... where one of her most famous moments was playfully tickling men with her feathered hat as they sat next to her.

Kevin Bacon is still feeling sexy well into his 60s ... because he's fishing for likes with a bare-chested photo.

The actor is celebrating his 66th birthday today and he's marking the occasion with a topless thirst trap ... showing off his abs, which are still there.

Kevin's posing outdoors somewhere, leaning back on what appears to be a rock near the base of a bluff ... and it looks like he has swim trunks on, so he may be near a beach.

Kyle Richards can't wrap her head around people needing to comment on women's bodies in this day and age -- this in response to body-shamers attacking her pal Kesha.

We caught up with the 'RHOBH' star at LAX Monday following her Aspen trip with the singer -- and she tells us she's baffled by the mean comments about Kesha's appearance ... 'cause as far as she's concerned, she's gorgeous -- and even more beautiful on the inside.

As for whether Kesha's letting the trolling get to her, Kyle points us to the singer's IG message ... where the "Timber" hitmaker said those mean comments only made her stronger.

The 35-year-old former defensive end -- who hung up his cleats after the 2022 season -- threw up the steamy pic on his X page ... showing he's still got some massive pecs, bulging quads and boulder-sized shoulders even in retirement.

Watt appeared to know he looked good, too ... as he captioned the pic simply, "Progress."

Alec Baldwin just got a huge part of the prosecution's case thrown out ... a day before his manslaughter trial kicks off.

The judge ruled prosecutors cannot introduce evidence of Baldwin's role as a producer in the film ... something that was a critical part of the State's argument that Baldwin's alleged recklessness led to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Baldwin was an Executive Producer on the film, but there were other EPs as well who had much more of a hands-on role.

"Hawk Tuah" is enriching Haliey Welch's life -- literally and figuratively -- and she's getting a lil' emotional about the whole thing as she cashes in on her instant celebrity.

In the video, obtained by TMZ, you can see Haliey getting an extravagant bottle parade Sunday while she hosted at the Daer Dayclub at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. As it turns out, Haliey hit 1 million IG followers over the weekend, and seems like the celebration of that milestone got her a little choked up.

Haliey was joined at the event by her pal Chelsea Bradford -- y'know, her sidekick in the OG "hawk tuah" vid -- and her mood was much lighter when a Daer bottle service girl raised a champagne toast to her.
