Canadian actress Carrie-Anne Moss was in her early 30's when she first started playing Trinity -- the butt-kicking babe and computer hacker who tricks humans into thinking they're in reality -- in the sci-fi film "The Matrix" back in '99.

Carrie-Anne shared the action-packed film with Keanu Reeves as the quiet computer hacker who grew up in The Matrix, Neo, Laurence Fishburne as the intense, captain of the large flying ship (the Nebuchadnezzar), Morpheus and Hugo Weaving as the robotic and emotionless, Agent Smith.

She also starred in the 2000 thriller film "Memento" with Guy Pearce.

Bella Hadid is speaking out on the big controversy surrounding her Adidas ad campaign for a Munich Olympics shoe ... and she says she didn't do her homework.

The model reacted to the backlash from last week in a lengthy statement posted on social media Monday ... saying she had no clue the 1972 Munich Olympics included a famous tragedy where 11 Israeli athletes were taken hostage and murdered by Palestinian terrorists.

Bella explains she had no knowledge of the historical connection between the '72 Olympics and the Adidas shoe, adding ... "I am shocked, I am upset, and I am disappointed in the lack of sensitivity that went into this campaign."

Donald Trump was grazed by a bullet during the assassination attempt ... at least that's what a ballistic expert gleans from the way the former president's injured ear is healing.

Leonard Romero -- a forensic firearms examiner who's worked alongside the LAPD and several other law enforcement agencies in this field -- tells TMZ … Trump's ear healing so quickly isn't evidence he wasn't hit (as some have suggested), but on the contrary ... it's actually consistent with a graze from a bullet, as opposed to a more direct impact.

The way Leonard, explains it ... a graze only impacts the skin's surface -- it's more like a scrape or a scratch, and doesn't cause heavy damage, even when the bullet is from an AR-15 assault rifle, as was the case here.

Britney Spears' home popped up on the market Monday -- which got her fans thinking she was ready to get the hell outta Cali ... but she isn't going anywhere, TMZ has learned.

Eagle-eyed sleuths probably noticed BS' Thousand Oaks mansion show up on real estate sites as being listed for sale Monday -- and it looked like she was trying to unload it for just under $9 million ... at least based on the public listing.

However, despite the fact this info got published and went wide everywhere -- multiple sources with direct knowledge tell us the whole thing was a hack ... and Britney is NOT packing her bags.

A French diver is going viral at the 2024 Olympics -- not just for his aquatic skills, but for proving size might in fact matter ... but, so does the cut of your swim trunks.

Excitable fans went wild online over Jules Bouyer at the Paris games, sharing pics of the soaked springboard diver after one of his recent events -- mainly to highlight his bulge, which was making a big splash despite his teeny weeny swimsuit.

A key angle of Bouyer from the side gives fans an up-close and personal view of his junk in the trunk, which certainly thrilled international audiences. But this isn’t his first time he's made everyone go wild at the Olympics.

"Survivor: Africa" star Kim Johnson has died ... this according to her family.

The 'Survivor' alum's daughter, Kerry Johnson Tichi confirmed the sad news on Monday, as she shared with People that her mother had passed away. Kerry remembered the reality TV competitor as "the coolest mom and grandmother in the word," but did not share a cause of death.

Kerry added ... "Our mom leaves a legacy of strength, resilience, kindness and generosity. She wore her rose colorized glasses right up until the end ... We will miss her forever."

Travis Barker is selling his plane ticket -- and considering his history, this one's a big deal.

The Blind-182 rocker put his personal boarding on the auction site Trophy for $8,000 ... and it’s Travis’ actual Qantas Airlines boarding pass from earlier this year when he went from Sydney to Perth on a commercial flight, complete with a meaningful handwritten note.

The message reads, “I know I got Angels watching over me ...” -- fitting since the '08 crash left him with third-degree burns on 65% of his body. BTW, this note is something he writes on all his boarding passes ... even before the crash, but it obviously carries more weight post-crash.

Baltimore Orioles catcher James McCann was drilled in the nose by a 95 MPH fastball on Monday ... but incredibly, the guy shook it off and stayed in the game!!

The scary scene went down just minutes ago in the Orioles' tilt with the Blue Jays at Camden Yards ... as McCann was facing off with Toronto pitcher Yariel Rodriguez.

Check out footage from the game's broadcast ... on a 2-2 count, Rodriguez let a heater fly, but it got away from him -- and beelined right toward McCann's noggin.

Angela Murray is not losing her job because of some abrasive behavior inside the "Big Brother" house ... despite some fans' attempts to hit her where it hurts.

Here's the deal ... Angela's under fire for calling housemate Matt "Crazy Eyes" during an epic rant on the current season ... and some folks took things so far as to bombard her real estate company with poor reviews, hateful comments and an endless barrage of calls.

Angela works at Utah's Elite Realtors and her boss, Liz Sears, tells TMZ ... the company stands by Angela and she has NOT been fired, because they know she's just playing a role on a reality TV show and her angle as this season's villain has nothing to do with her real life or job capabilities.

Actress Erica Ash -- famous from one of the 'Scary Movie' films and "Survivor's Remorse" -- has died ... this according to her family.

NBC's Colin Jost is only seven toes down in his Olympic coverage in Tahiti -- the "Saturday Night Live" star has been dealing with a nagging injury after a nasty run-in with a reef.

The "Weekend Update" anchor -- who's notably ditched his shoes while working the surfing competition for the 2024 Paris Games -- probably wishes his dogs were more protected upon his arrival in French Polynesia ... 'cause he just showed off three of his toes wrapped in gauze on Monday.

Jost joked about the ailment on Instagram ... saying, "You know it’s going great when you’ve been to the Olympic medical tent more than any of the athletes."

Phaedra Parks is picking back up her peach ... 'cause the Bravo personality just announced her official return to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" -- this amid Kenya Moore's exit.

The reality TV star -- who appeared on 'RHOA' seasons 3 through 9 -- took to Instagram on Monday to confirm her return to the Bravo hit.

In the new IG upload, Phaedra can be seen holding the show's iconic token -- a Georgia peach -- while dressed to the nines in front of a private plane. She added ... "You called. I answered 🍑#RHOA #S16"

1:47 PM PT -- Prince William and Kate Middleton just weighed in on the tragedy -- writing in part, "As parents, we cannot begin to imagine what the families, friends and loved ones of those killed and injured in Southport today are going through."

They went on to extend their condolences, while thanking first-responders who arrived on the scene.

12:28 PM PT -- Officials have now confirmed even more tragic news from this horrific incident -- namely, the fact that a second child has now died.

Pro-Palestine protesters made their presence known at the Olympics in the worst possible way ... invoking the biggest antisemite known to human history straight from the stands.

Check it out ... as the Israeli team lined up on the field alongside Team Paraguay on Saturday at the Parc des Princes ... anti-Israel demonstrators holding Palestinian flags repeatedly made the Nazi salute and chanted, "Heil Hitler."

According to Sky News, the Israel national anthem was also booed by protesters, who held a banner that read, "Genocide Olympics." The protesters were reportedly removed during the game ... which saw Paraguay coming out victorious thanks to a 4 to 2 final score.

Lil Pump has taken issue with Kamala Harris identifying as Black -- falsely claiming she has no African heritage (which isn't true) ... all while again doubling down on Donald Trump.

The rapper followed in Swae Lee's footsteps over the weekend -- coming down hard on KH over race ... namely, floating the wild allegation that she "isn't Black." Instead, Pump insists she's only of Indian heritage ... even though a quick Google search disproves that.

Either way ... LP is deep in his delusion here -- he got interviewed about this topic and stuck to his guns about her race -- and also said she's incarcerated over 1500 people over weed-related offenses during her time as district attorney in San Francisco.
