Miley Cyrus is speaking out in defense of fellow pop star Chappell Roan ... who has faced an immense amount of backlash since skyrocketing to fame this year.

The former Disney Channel star addressed Chappell's bumpy road to stardom in a new cover story for Harper's Bazaar ... where she urged her fans to treat the newcomer with kindness, noting it's "really hard coming into this business."

As Miley put it ... she wished "people would not give [Chappell] a hard time," since being a celeb in the social media age is particularly tough.

Logan Paul pulled a switcheroo on a news outlet looking to do a deep dive into his cryptocurrency practices -- sending a look-alike to take part in an interview in his place.

It's all laid out in BBC's new documentary titled "Logan Paul: Bad Influence?" ... which claims to have "new evidence" to back accusations the internet superstar promoted crypto projects without disclosing to his fans he had a stake in them -- resulting in big paydays.

In the project, Matt Shea said his team tried to get Paul to sit down with them for months with no luck ... before he finally caved and agreed to host a Q&A at his gym in Puerto Rico.

Wayne Knight’s health glow-up is next level ... and now he’s spilling the tea on it all, including how his weight loss has negatively impacted his Hollywood career.

We caught up with the actor at LAX on Tuesday, and he told us he’s shed a whopping 100 pounds since 1993's "Jurassic Park" -- something he's achieved by trying everything from therapy to radiation… and in true comic Wayne fashion, even "being taken by aliens."

Jokes aside, you’ve gotta watch the full video -- 'cause Wayne reveals which method actually worked best for him. Plus, he gets real about how years of yo-yo dieting have impacted him.

Colin Farrell’s "The Penguin" transformation was so epic and convincing that a clip of him speaking in his native Irish accent while fully in character has left viewers speechless.

Take a listen for yourself… the actor was giving a speech after wrapping filming in a clip --now deleted by HBO -- to the crew off-camera, but his smooth Irish accent totally clashes with the villainous, Gotham-dwelling look he was rocking for the show, and the New York growl he uses in character.

The accent switch was so intense, it almost overshadowed Colin’s heartfelt message ...  "I have loved every minute of it even when I wasn't loving it. And, I just feel so grateful and humbled and blessed by being part of this collective."

It's happening -- just like we predicted -- Donald Trump's "Presidential" motorcade now includes a Cybertruck!!!

As Trump made his way to watch the launch of Elon Musk's Starship rocket, the fleet of Chevys had a disruptor smack in the middle -- courtesy of The First Buddy.

Now it's true ... this is not an official Presidential motorcade, since Trump is the Prez-elect, but it sure feels like an omen.

Paul Mescal can't believe his eyes after meeting his official doppelgänger ... who nabbed the title earlier this month in Ireland in a look-alike competition.

Unlike Timothée Chalamet, who made a surprise appearance at his own competition in NYC, the "Gladiator II" star didn't get the pleasure to attend the event ... though, the contest was clearly on his radar.

While speaking with the winner -- a recent college graduate named Jack Wall O’Reilly -- on Zoe Ball's BBC Radio 2 'Breakfast Show' Wednesday, the Oscar nominee confessed he "saw the photo" after the fact ... applauding the young man, who he said "captured the spirit of me very well."

The 2024 GQ Men of the Year Awards may've been about lots of tastemakers we love, but it was Nicole Kidman who left us wanting more.

Check it out ... the actress posed for photos at the London-based event in a red hot number -- which perfectly matched the award show's vibrant red carpet. Nicole looked like an early Christmas present at the party, as she turned and showed off her dress' satin ribbon detailing ... which was interwoven from her ankles all the way up over her backside.

The Oscar winner rounded out the look with a pair of matching stilettos ... making it clear she meant business with this ensemble. Nicole was one of the evening's honorees, so it makes sense she dressed to the nines for the event.

The listing agent, Drew Meyers of Westside Estate Agency, tells TMZ the previous owner -- Elon Musk -- tacked on a restrictive covenant to the sale to preserve the historic nature of the property ... meaning the house that was originally listed in August for just under $13M can't be torn down.

Drew adds ... "A house of this significance should never be torn down. It should be restored and brought back to life while maintaining its beautiful soul. We want to make sure it’s sold to someone who appreciates its timelessness.”
