"Back to the Future" fans and Universal Pictures have been asking for a new time-traveling chapter for nearly 35 years, but it ain't happenin' ... like, EVER, the franchise co-creator and writer tells TMZ.

Bob Gale tells TMZ ... 'BTTF' fans and Universal Pictures can stop wondering -- and definitely stop asking -- 'cause there will NEVER be a fourth film. And just as important, there will NEVER be a reboot or a spinoff.

We caught up with writer and franchise co-creator after director Robert Zemeckis recently said he dug the idea of turning "Back to the Future: The Musical" into a film, much the same way "Hamilton" was done.

Haters can save their breath when it comes to JJ Redick  ... 'cause his former teammate, Matt Barnes, tells TMZ Sports the Lakers coach simply "doesn't give a s***" about any outside noise.

Barnes played with Redick on the L.A. Clippers from 2013 to 2015 ... and if there's one takeaway he got from their time together, it's that the dude stays focused on what matters -- and definitely knows his stuff.

Now that Redick has landed his first head coaching gig (with the Purple and Gold, no less), all eyes are on him ... and naturally, that puts his performance under the microscope.

American actor Robert Picardo was in his mid-30s when he first started playing the vicious Coach Cutlip -- who always wears a red hat and whistle while barking orders at P.E. -- in the classic family sitcom "The Wonder Years" back in 1988.

Picardo was part of an ensemble cast including Fred Savage as the awkward brother, Kevin, Jason Hervey as Kevin's big bro who enjoys bullying his younger sibling, Wayne and Danica McKellar as the girl next door, Winnie.

You may also recognize Robert as the doctor on "Star Trek: Voyager" and Richard in the 'Stargate' franchise.

Bianca Censori only knows how to shop one way ... by looking super sexy.

Kanye West's wife shopped 'til she dropped Tuesday at a Williams Sonoma store in Los Angeles, all while wearing a skin-tight white mini dress and some sheer lace tights to show off her figure.

Bianca's dress barely covered up her butt and she was busting out of her dress ... but we gotta say, this is more fabric than usual as far as BC is concerned. Still, she was showing off her legs and the rest of her assets, as she's known to do.

Dean Cain is happy Taylor Swift fans turned out to not be Donald Trump's kryptonite ... because Taylor's endorsement didn't put Kamala Harris in the White House.

The 'Superman' star tell TMZ ... he's pumped Swifties made no difference at the ballot box and in the end "common sense prevailed" in electing Trump president.

Dean says voters aren't swayed as much by celebrity endorsements as perhaps they were in the past ... and he says the proof is in the pudding this election season.

The feds are working with local law enforcement agencies to investigate the burglaries at the homes of Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce ... TMZ has learned.

Multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation tell TMZ ... the FBI is assisting the Cass County Sheriff's Office to investigate the Mahomes incident, and joining forces with the Leawood Police Department to probe the Kelce crime.

The FBI getting involved means this is a pretty big deal, and not just because Patrick and Travis are famous athletes.

"Saturday Night Live" star Chloe Fineman says Elon Musk was the worst guest host she ever came across ... because he made her cry.

Chloe outed herself as the cast member Elon brought to tears on 'SNL' during his 2021 appearance in a since deleted social media post ... and we tackled the topic on "TMZ Live."

Elon's since come out and defended his actions ... and this story is generating a lot of hot takes in our office.

Peanut the Squirrel is officially in the clear, testing negative for rabies after his death, but get this -- it's also emerged that both he and Fred the Raccoon were set for the chopping block days before they were seized in a raid ... and their owner is absolutely livid over it.

Mark Longo didn't hold back, telling TMZ it's hard to stomach the bombshell revelation that 4 different agencies had already given the green light to euthanize his pets 7 days before they were even taken from his Upstate New York property on October 30.

The New York Post reports state officials advised the county to euthanize the animals a week before the raid was launched. This news contradicts the New York Department of Environmental Conservation's claim that Peanut had bitten an agent during the raid ... supposedly necessitating the rabies test. Animals must be euthanized to properly test for rabies.

A male model who has appeared in Vogue has been arrested and charged in the brutal stabbing death of a father in New York that left the deceased with a knife lodged in his chest.

Mike Tyson says his upcoming boxing match against Jake Paul isn't just the biggest bout in the sport's existence ... it's the "biggest fight in the history of life!!"

The boxing legend icon made the declaration to Harvey and Charles on "TMZ Live" on Tuesday ... saying despite all the blockbuster Pay-Per-Views he's headlined over the years, Friday's event at AT&T Stadium takes the cake.

The 58-year-old admitted it's the most-hyped bout in the world ... claiming, "[There's never been a fight this big."

Our sources say Travis and Taylor stayed at a downtown Kansas City hotel on the night of the Oct. 7th burglary, after the Chiefs' "Monday Night Football" showdown with the Saints at Arrowhead Stadium. We're told Taylor and Travis's security wasn't playing around after the break-in.

In the divorce docs obtained by TMZ ... Ben cited "irreconcilable differences" as the reason behind his split with Laura -- and asked the court to enforce their prenuptial agreement from 2018. He noted September 9 as their date of separation.

This coincides with what sources tell us ... as they say the "Orange Is the New Black" actress and the 'X-Men' actor broke up sometime in the last few months, and that Laura is currently living in Tennessee while Ben resides in Los Angeles.

Megan Fox figures to have an interesting, and potentially challenging, family dynamic now that she's pregnant with Machine Gun Kelly's baby ... because things sound icy between MGK and Megan's ex-husband, Brian Austin Green.

Sources familiar with the situation tell TMZ … Brian and MGK have no relationship whatsoever, which could lead to rough waters when it comes to co-parenting.

Tom Brady got candid about his personal life on Tuesday ... openly admitting to a room full of strangers that he has not been the world's greatest father to his three kids.

Brady was asked how he's able to motivate his 17-year-old son, Jack -- who he shares with Bridget Moynahan -- and his other young son and daughter, Benjamin and Vivian -- who he shares with Gisele Bündchen -- and he wanted to make it clear to the audience he's by no means the G.O.A.T. of parenthood.

Liam Payne's death is putting a spotlight on the unseen struggles teen singers face when they put trust into stardom, even when it seems like they're thriving ... according to Jeff Timmons from 98 Degrees.

Jeff is just one of several boy banders opening up about the rollercoaster ride his group, Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, New Edition, New Kids on the Block and many others endured for decades. They're all featured in the new Paramount+ documentary, "Larger Than Life: Reign of the Boybands."

On Tuesday's "TMZ Live," Jeff told us the sudden fame they all encountered -- mostly in the early 2000s -- was absolutely a blessing, but it was also impossible to prepare for everything that was thrown at them.
