Tom Hiddleston got a quiet shout-out as a famous ex of Taylor Swift's at the People's Choice Awards -- but the dude took it in stride and was all smiles ... which kinda speaks volumes.

The actor was among many famous faces on hand Sunday during the broadcast -- and while host Simu Liu was making a Swifite joke ... the cameras cut to Tom right at the tail end of it, but he wasn't a sourpuss about it. If anything, he was quite the good sport!

Here's what happened ... Simu was doing his monologue, and at one point in his remarks -- he shouted a movie this year about a blonde who got everyone to dress up and dance.

No, he wasn't referring to "Barbie" -- as he jokingly noted, it was the "Eras" tour movie.

That got a big laugh, especially as Simu continued to lean into the fact that he was a Swiftie before he was ever cast in "Barbie" ... and while he was finishing his gag, Tom's face popped up on the screen -- seemingly without his knowledge, but it certainly felt like a choice.

We'll admit, if producers just wanted to show him for his connection to Taylor -- they briefly dated in the summer of 2016 -- it didn't really make sense, especially in the context of what was being said. Simu was talking about her "1989" album, which TH has nothing to do with.

Again, though ... the homeboy wasn't weird about it either. That's probably because his little fling with Taylor is one of a few relationships of hers that ended somewhat amicably ... so he can be in a room with Taylor's name being thrown and not be bent out of shape.

Billie Eilish seemed to speak some truth at the People's Choice Awards this weekend -- namely, openly wondering why a bunch of social media "stars" were among real A-listers.

The singer was filmed chatting with Kylie Minogue behind the scenes at the award show in L.A. Sunday -- and she could be heard pointing out that there was a crap-ton of TikTokers in the building ... something she didn't look to be a huge fan of.

Watch ... BE was sitting next to KM when she made the observation -- and once she realized she was being filmed, she tried to cover up how she felt about it, unsuccessfully.

Billie could be heard noting there were some TikTok heads "over there" ... she then grimaces, shakes her head and says something to the effect of "I don't need it." Now, in terms of who exactly Billie might've been referring to, there's only a handful of suspects.

There really weren't a lot of TikTok/social media personalities on hand at the show -- and they did seem to be more filled with actual Hollywood types (mainstream actors/musicians) than viral people. But, among those who have a huge following ... Tana Mongeau, Chris Olsen, Gigi Gorgeous, Alix Earle, James Charles and maybe a couple more here and there.

That's what makes her remarks so funny ... even with the small handful of TikTokers, it was still enough to rub Billie the wrong way -- and we gotta admit, she ain't really wrong here!

Fans of Matthew Perry slammed the BAFTA Awards over their perceived snub of the late actor, prompting the show's executives to respond to all the backlash.

The fury began Sunday night after the 2024 British Academy Film Awards aired a four-minute In Memoriam segment showing images of actors who passed away over the last year, including Carl Weathers, Tina Turner, Chaim Topol, Michael Gambon and Richard Roundtree.

As the photos flashed on screen, actress Hannah Waddingham performed onstage, singing a rendition of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time."

It was a wonderful celebration of these famous and talented people ... the only problem was Perry was not among those honored.

His fans were upset, expressing their frustrations on the social media app, X.

One person fumed, “No mention of Matthew Perry in the #BAFTAs memorial?! Bad form."

Another wrote, "Hannah Waddingham's voice is so beautiful. It's a shame BAFTA left Matthew Perry off the list though."

A third grumbled, "No Matthew Perry in the #BAFTAs memorium?? Feels a tad disrespectful. Did they just forget?"

Other Perry supporters noted the actor was not just known for his role on the TV sitcom, "Friends," but he also had a long and successful movie career.

BAFTA senior execs responded to one angry X user, writing, “Matthew Perry will be remembered in this year’s TV Awards ceremony.” They also attached a link to Perry's tribute on the BAFTA website, highlighting his TV and film work.

TMZ broke the story ... Perry's assistant found his body last October floating in a hot tub at his L.A. area home. The coroner performed an autopsy, concluding Perry died from the "acute effects of ketamine," an anesthetic used to treat depression. Drowning was listed on the autopsy report as a secondary cause of death.

Nadie vive en el mundo de Barbie en el Reino Unido esta noche... porque "Barbie" acaba de ser descalificada en los premios de cine de la Academia Británica.

La película más taquillera del verano pasado optaba a cinco premios en la gala del domingo: Mejor Actriz, Mejor Actor de Reparto y Mejor Guión Original, junto con un par de otros premios de diseño.

Desgraciadamente, los creadores de la película se van sin ninguno de ellos, con un 0 de 5 en la ceremonia que suele ser un buen indicativo de hacia dónde se inclinarán los votantes de los Oscar.

"Barbie" no es la única película galardonada que ha sido desairada esta noche, "Asesinos de la Luna" de Martin Scorsese perdió sus nueve nominaciones, mientras que "Maestro" no ganó ni uno de sus siete premios.

Pero, los desaires de "Barbie" se sienten los más significativos, dada la tormenta de fuego que estalló después de Greta Gerwig y Margot Robbie no fueron nominados a Mejor Director y Mejor Actriz, respectivamente.

Recuerdemos que todo el mundo, de los usuarios de X hasta la ex Secretaria de Estado Hillary Clinton se han quejado de que "Barbie" no reciba esas nominaciones en particular.

Margot más tarde rompió su silencio sobre el desaire de Greta, aún más conmovedor desde que se supo que quedó fuera de la lista de nominados para los BAFTA.

No one is living in a Barbie World over in the United Kingdom tonight ... 'cause "Barbie" just got shut out at the British Academy Film Awards.

The biggest blockbuster of last summer was up for five awards at the show Sunday -- Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay along with a couple other design awards.

Unfortunately, the film's creators are walking away without a single one -- going 0-for-5 at the ceremony that's usually a pretty good indication of the way Academy Awards voters are gonna lean.

"Barbie" isn't the only awards season darling that got snubbed tonight BTW ... Martin Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon" lost all nine of its nominations while "Maestro" didn't win one of its seven awards.

But, the "Barbie" snubs feel the most significant ... given the firestorm that popped off after Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie weren't nominated for Best Director and Best Actress respectively.

Remember ... everyone from random X users to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton chimed in on "Barbie" not receiving those particular nominations.

Margot later broke her silence on Greta's snub ... even more poignant since GG was left off the nomination list for the BAFTAs as well.

Hollywood's biggest movie stars mixed, mingled and munched at a famous hotel ahead of the upcoming Academy Awards ... and there was a heavy "Barbie" contingent.

Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling were among the "Barbie" stars in attendance Monday at the annual Oscar nominees luncheon at The Beverly Hilton.

Billie Eilish and Finneas were also representing "Barbie" in Bev Hills ... the musicians are up for the Oscar for Best Original Song for "What Was I Made For?" and they seem to be the team to beat after their song won twice at the Grammys

"Barbie" director Greta Gerwig was there too ... rubbing elbows with other famous directors like Steven Spielberg and "Oppenheimer" honcho Martin Scorsese.

Steven's nominated for his work as a producer on Bradley Cooper's Leonard Bernstein biopic "Maestro," which is nominated for seven Academy Awards.

Bradley directed and starred in the film and he's up for Best Actor ... so naturally he made sure to chat with some of the other stars in his category, like "American Fiction" leading man Jeffrey Wright.

This year's spread ... wild mushroom risotto.

Check out the gallery ... it's loaded with big names like Emma Stone, Paul Giamatti, Sterling K. Brown, Marlee Matlin, Diane Warren, Brittany Snow and Hailee Steinfeld.

Las estrellas de cine más importantes de Hollywood se mezclaron y comieron en un famoso hotel antes de los próximos Premios de la Academia y hubo un fuerte contingente de "Barbie".

Margot Robbie y Ryan Gosling fueron algunas de las estrellas de "Barbie" que asistieron el lunes al almuerzo anual de los nominados al Oscar en el Beverly Hilton.

Billie Eilish y Finneas también estuvieron representando a "Barbie". Los músicos compiten por al Oscar a la Mejor Canción Original por "What Was I Made For?" y parecen ser el equipo a batir después de que su canción ganara dos veces en los Grammy

La directora de "Barbie" Greta Gerwig también estuvo allí, codeándose con otros directores famosos como Steven Spielberg y Martin Scorsese.

Steven está nominado por su trabajo como productor en la película biográfica de Bradley Cooper sobre Leonard Bernstein, "Maestro", que está nominada a siete premios de la Academia.

Bradley dirigió y protagonizó la película y es candidato a Mejor Actor ... así que, naturalmente, se aseguró de charlar con algunas de las otras estrellas en su categoría, como "American Fiction" protagonista Jeffrey Wright.

El plato de este año... risotto de setas silvestres.

Échale un vistazo a la galería, la cual está cargada de grandes nombres como Emma Stone, Paul Giamatti, Sterling K. Brown, Marlee Matlin, Diane Warren, Brittany Snow y Hailee Steinfeld.

Tyreek Hill and Keeta Vaccaro have clearly put their divorce case drama in the past ... the two packed on the PDA on their way to NFL Honors on Thursday -- looking more in love than ever.

Of course, the relationship looked like it was coming to an end just a couple weeks ago ... after Hill submitted a petition for the dissolution of his marriage in Broward County.

But, the Miami Dolphins wideout said it was all filed in error ... and, eventually, the case was dismissed earlier this week.

Now, the couple is putting on quite the united front, getting cozy before, during, and after the NFL's annual awards ceremony in Vegas.

The two shared a kiss in a car -- before Hill got a little bit handsy during a dance backstage. They also shared an embrace at the event's red carpet -- documenting it all on their Instagram pages.

"NFL honors with the wife," Hill said in a caption recapping the event.

Brad Pitt sabía que Bradley Cooper iba a ser una estrella, no por las actuaciones que le valieron nominaciones al Oscar, sino que por un papel más cómico.

El actor de 60 años subió al escenario del Festival Internacional de Cine de Santa Bárbara el jueves para darle a su compadre de 49 años el Premio al Mejor Intérprete del Año por su papel de Leonard Bernstein en "Maestro", una película que también dirigió y co-escribió.

Fue un gran honor para el evento y le dio a Brad Pitt la oportunidad de hablar sobre el trabajo de Cooper en el tiempo, incluyendo el momento en que supo que iba a ser grande.

Por cierto, "Maestro" es la quinta actuación por la que Cooper recibe una nominación al Premio de la Academia, pero Pitt no hizo alusión a ninguna de esas actuaciones, en su lugar se deshizo en elogios por su papel en "The Hangover".

Pitt señaló las sutiles complejidades de la actuación de Cooper y cómo el actor mejoró la película desde el lado de la pantalla en un sentido. ¡Bastante impresionante para una película cuyo uno de sus personajes principales es un tigre!

El ganador del Oscar no solo habló de "The Hangover". También se refirió a la actuación de Cooper en "A Star is Born" y su rol de director, señalando cómo Bradley logró de alguna manera equilibrar sus escenas emocionales bebiendo con su capacidad para tener un ojo en el equipo y asegurarse de que estaba recibiendo la toma perfecta.

Brad añadió: "Hacer eso muy, muy bien es poco menos que perfecto".

Esperemos que la Academia piense lo mismo. Cooper es candidato a Mejor Actor por su papel en "Maestro" en los Oscar de este año.

Brad Pitt knew Bradley Cooper was gonna be a star ... not because of his Oscar-nominated performances -- but because of a more comedic role.

The 60-year-old actor hit the stage at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Thursday to give his 49-year-old compadre the Outstanding Performer of the Year Award for his part as Leonard Bernstein in "Maestro" -- a movie he also directed and co-wrote.

It's a top honor at the event ... and it gave BP the opportunity to talk about Cooper's work through the years -- including the moment he knew BC was gonna be big.

"Maestro" is the fifth performance for which Cooper received an acting Academy Award nod BTW ... but Pitt didn't point to any of those performances -- instead he heaped praise on Cooper for his role in "The Hangover."

Pitt pointed out the subtle intricacies of Cooper's performance -- saying so many of the moments Cooper makes great have very little to do with him ... improving the film from the side of the screen in a sense. Pretty impressive for a movie where one of the main characters is a tiger!

The Oscar-winner didn't just talk about "The Hangover" though ... he also brought up Cooper's "A Star is Born" performance and direction -- noting Cooper somehow balanced emotional drunk acting scenes while also keeping an eye on the crew to make sure he's getting the perfect shot.

Brad added, "To do that really, really well is nothing short of perfect."

Hopefully, the Academy feels the same way ... Cooper's up for Best Actor for his role in the movie at this year's Oscars -- an award he's 0-for-3 on so far.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are stirring up memories of past high-profile NFL couples -- including one controversial ex-couple -- at least for Keegan-Michael Key.

KMK hosted the NFL Honors -- the league's annual end-of-season award ceremony -- and, obviously, the funnyman had to bring up Traylor.

He pointed out Kelce isn't the first NFL baller to date a pop star ... name-dropping Russell Wilson and Ciara and Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson before cracking a joke about Brad Paisley and Peyton Manning's friendship.

While Russ and Ciara are still going strong nearly a decade into their relationship, JS and TR didn't make it nearly that long ... with their relationship causing constant drama for the pair.

You'll recall ... Romo and Simpson started dating in late 2007, and just like T-Swift, Simpson became a huge staple in the crowd at Dallas Cowboys games.

Dallas struggled in 2008 though -- the first full season Simpson and Romo dated -- missing out on a playoff spot by one measly tie to the rival Philadelphia Eagles.

Some fans, rather unfairly, blamed the team's issues on Romo and Simpson's relationship ... the couple broke up the following year after Tony found out Jessica was still in contact with her ex, John Mayer.

Worth noting ... Romo's been very supportive of Swift and Kelce since they took their relationship public in September -- recently saying he's rooting for the couple to marry after accidentally referring to Swift as Kelce's wife back in December.

BTW, Key made a few more jokes involving Swift and Kelce though none at the couple's expense ... instead poking fun at the Carolina Panthers and ex-Pats head coach Bill Belichick.

Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower" is hitting at a new, historic milestone -- the 2018 duet was certified Double Diamond, aka 20 million sold, putting it in a class all of its own!!!

Both artists were equally excited when they hugged it out at the award ceremony Thursday in celebration of their achievement, and posed for pics with their managers and label teams.

RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier said the Carter Lang/Louis-produced track raised the bar for collaborations going forward, and it'll probably take a new-age "We Are The World" moment to even approach its success.

When the song broke the all-time record at 17x Platinum, Post told TMZ Hip Hop that having Swae in the studio was the secret sauce needed for making the track so huge.

SZA definitivamente es de las artistas que ve el "vaso medio lleno", pues dice que ya ha superado el haber perdido el Álbum del Año en la 66ª edición de los Premios Grammy.

La rapera y cantante de R&B se sentó con The Hollywood Reporter el lunes, un día después de que su álbum "SOS" perdiera frente a "Midnights" de Taylor Swift por el premio más importante de la noche, y dijo que no le importaban tanto los trofeos como simplemente "sobrevivir a la noche".

Por si se lo perdieron, SZA también actuó en los Grammys este domingo y llegó tarde a recibir uno de los tres Grammys que ganó debido a ello, por lo que parece que la artista de 34 años tenía asuntos mucho más urgentes en su mente.

Básicamente, SZA dijo que está feliz de haber ganado 3 premios, sin importar cuán grandes o pequeños sean a los ojos del resto del mundo, agregando que no estuvo "bombardeando en televisión", por lo que todo funcionó muy bien para ella.

Y si creen que perder una de sus nominaciones frente a T-Swift está molestando a SZA, piénsalo dos veces porque le dijo a The Hollywood Reporter que llegó a hablar un montón con Taylor en el evento y la encontró "divertidísima".

Suena como el comienzo de una hermosa amistad entre celebridades.

Es importante señalar que SZA también ha estado recibiendo una tonelada de amor de otras celebridades, como por ejemplo Beyoncé, quien parece haberle enviado una nota escrita que ella volvió a publicar en Instagram. Definitivamente, hace que sea difícil obsesionarse con un Grammy más cuando la Reina se contacta contigo.

SZA's definitely a "glass half full" kinda artist ... because she says she's already moved on from losing Album of the Year at the 66th Grammy Awards.

The rapper/R&B singer sat down with The Hollywood Reporter Monday -- one day after her album "SOS" lost out to Taylor Swift's "Midnights" for the evening's biggest award -- and, she said she didn't care as much about the trophies as simply "surviving the night."

ICYMI ... SZA also performed on Grammys Sunday -- and was late receiving one of the three Grammys she did win because of it -- so, it seems the 34-year-old had much more pressing issues on her mind.

Basically, SZA said she's happy to have won 3 awards, no matter how big or small they are in the rest of the world's eyes ... adding she didn't "bomb on live television" so the whole thing worked out great for her.

And, if you think losing on one of her nominations to T-Swift's buggin' SZA, then think again -- 'cause she told THR she got to talk with Taylor a ton at the event and called her "funny as hell."

Sounds like the beginning of a beautiful celeb friendship.

FWIW ... SZA's been getting a ton of love from other celebs -- like Beyoncé, who seems to have sent her a handwritten note that she reposted to IG. Definitely makes it hard to obsess over one more Grammy when the Queen reaches out.

Ludacris is recalling a wild moment from his win at the Grammys back in the day ... and it's all about Justin Timberlake's explicit reaction to Luda's big night -- which sounds jarring.

The story, as Ludacris explained on "Drink Champs," goes like this ... Ludacris was backstage at the 2007 Grammys after winning the award for Best Rap Album and he was dropping f-bombs and letting out his emotions.

Back then, Ludacris says artists went into little holding areas only separated by thin curtains ... which didn't offer much privacy.

Once Ludacris ended his celebration, he says he heard a voice from the other side of the curtain ... "Shut the f*** up, some of us didn't win any g****** Grammys!!!"

Luda says he pulled back the curtain ... only to find Justin Timberlake standing there, and in his mind -- it was clearly him who yelled it.

Hard to tell if Luda is all that bent out of shape about it -- if anything, he seems to find it more amusing than anything all these years later. Based on his demeanor here, he clearly loves to tell the tale and still gets a kick out of it in 2024.

Ludacris says he was extra amped after winning the award because he had come up short for years and set out to win a Grammy when he recorded "Release Therapy."

Justin's funny outburst was a bit premature ... he lost Best Pop Vocal Album and Album Of The Year for "FutureSex/LoveSounds" but won two Grammys ... Best Rap/Song Collaboration for "My Love" and Best Dance Recording for "Sexy Back."

FWIW, Luda says it's all love with Justin ... calling JT "gangsta" -- so he's good in his book.

Ludacris recordó un gran momento de una vieja victoria en los Grammys. Se trata de la reacción de Justin Timberlake a la gran noche de Luda.

La historia, como Ludacris explicó en "Drink Champs", es así: Ludacris estaba en el backstage de los Grammys 2007 después de ganar el premio al Mejor Álbum de Rap y estaba dejando salir sus emociones.

En aquel entonces, Ludacris dice que los artistas iban a pequeñas áreas de espera que estaban separadas únicamente por finas cortinas que no ofrecían mucha privacidad.

Una vez que Ludacris terminó su celebración, dice que oyó una voz desde el otro lado de la cortina: "¡Cállate la p*** boca, algunos de nosotros no ganamos ningún g****** Grammys!"

Luda dice que corrió la cortina solo para encontrar a Justin Timberlake de pie... claramente fue él quien lo gritó.

Luda parece encontrar muy divertido este asunto todos estos años después. Basándonos en su comportamiento, está claro que le encanta contar la historia y todavía se divierte en 2024.

Ludacris dice que estaba muy emocionado después de ganar el premio porque se había quedado corto durante años y se había propuesto ganar un Grammy cuando grabó "Release Therapy".

El divertido arrebato de Justin fue un poco prematuro, perdió Mejor Álbum Pop Vocal y Álbum del Año por "FutureSex/LoveSounds" pero ganó dos Grammys, Mejor Colaboración Rap/Canción por "My Love" y Mejor Grabación Dance por "Sexy Back".

A propósito, Luda dice que solo tiene amor por Justin, llamando a JT "gangsta" - por lo que es bueno en su libro.
