Dawson's Creek

Katie Holmes shared a touching tribute to her late, "Dawson's Creek" costar Obi Ndefo.

The "Dawson's Creek" actress took to Instagram to share some kind words about her time acting alongside Obi, writing ... "He was wonderful to work with and such a kind man. I send prayers and grace to his family. Rest in Peace."

As we previously reported ... Obi died at the age of 51, his sister Nkem Ndefo announced on Facebook Saturday.

Obi Ndefo, an actor best known for playing Bodie Wells on "Dawson's Creek" has died ... according to a Facebook post from his sister.

Nkem Ndefo shared the tragic news Saturday ... saying she was heartbroken at the death of her younger brother -- and hoped he'd finally found peace. She did not share a cause of death.

Obi got his start in Hollywood back in the mid-'90s appearing in bit roles on shows like "Star Trek: Voyager," "3rd Rock From the Sun" and "Angel" ... before getting his big break on "Dawson's Creek."

Lupita Nyong'o y Joshua Jackson han salido a pasear de la mano para mostrar su nueva relación.

Los dos se veían felices y cómodos el martes mientras daban un paseo por Joshua Tree, California.

Ambos lucían un gorro y ropa cómoda mientras charlaban, sonreían y parecían disfrutar de la compañía del otro.

Por supuesto, las nuevas fotos están muy lejos de la tienda de comestibles de la pareja en Los Ángeles.

El dúo se dirigió a una tienda de comestibles Erewhon en el carro de Josh, mientras que Lupita hizo todo lo posible para ocultarse en el asiento del pasajero. A partir de ahí, cada uno entró y salió de la tienda por separado antes de volver al coche de Josh y despegar.

Fue en octubre cuando Josh y Lupita fueron vistos juntos en un concierto en Los Ángeles. En ese momento, Lupita todavía estaba públicamente con su novio, Sal Masekela, rápidamente borró fotos con Sal de su Instagram después de que las fotos del concierto salieran a la luz antes de anunciar finalmente que se habían separado.

There's no hiding it anymore -- just days after they went to great lengths to conceal their relationship -- Lupita Nyong'o and Joshua Jackson are now out and walking hand-in-hand.

The two looked happy and comfortable Tuesday while taking a stroll in Joshua Tree, California.

Notice both sported a beanie and comfy-wear as they chatted, smiled and seemingly enjoyed each other's company.

Of course, the new photos are a far cry from the couple's grocery run back in Los Angeles earlier in the week.

The duo drove up to an Erewhon grocery store in Josh's car while Lupita tried her best to hide in the passenger's seat. From there, each entered and exited the store separately before getting back in Josh's car and taking off.

It was back in October when Josh and Lupita were spotted together at a concert in Los Angeles. At the time, Lupita was still publicly with her boyfriend, Sal Masekela -- she quickly deleted pics with Sal from her Instagram after the concert photos surfaced -- before eventually announcing they had split.

Joshua Jackson y Lupita Nyong'o claramente no quieren que nadie sepa que están pasando mucho tiempo juntos y haciendo todo lo posible para evitar ser fotografiados durante una salida por comestibles.

La ganadora del Oscar hizo un valiente intento (aunque sin éxito) para eludir la vista al llegar con la estrella de "Dawson's Creek" a Erewhon en Los Ángeles el lunes. Lupita se agachó en el asiento del pasajero, pero aun así no se pudo ocultar.

A pesar de su plan frustrado, Joshua siguió manteniendo la ilusión de una salida en solitario cuando se dirigió a la tienda con Lupita siguiendo su ejemplo minutos más tarde.

Mientras que la pareja aún no ha confirmado su relación, sus travesuras sugieren que su relación va más allá de la amistad.

Joshua y Lupita se conocen desde hace años, con su conexión aparentemente fortaleciéndose en octubre en el concierto de Janelle Monáe.

Aunque no hubo demostraciones de afecto en el show, la salida levantó sospechas, especialmente teniendo en cuenta que Lupita terminó con su novio, Selema Masekela, el mismo día y rápidamente borró todo rastro de él de su Insta.

Joshua Jackson and Lupita Nyong'o clearly don't want anyone to know they're spending a whole lotta time together -- going to great lengths to avoid being snapped together during a joint grocery run.

The Oscar winner made a valiant attempt -- albeit unsuccessfully -- to duck out of view when arriving with the "Dawson's Creek" star to Erewhon in L.A. Monday. Lupita ducked in the passenger's seat, but was still spotted.

Despite their foiled plan, Joshua continued to maintain the illusion of a solo outing as he headed into the store first ... with Lupita following suit minutes later.

While the pair have yet to confirm their relationship, their shenanigans suggest their relationship is beyond friendship.

Joshua and Lupita have known each other for years ... with their connection seemingly heating up in October at Janelle Monáe's concert.

While there was no PDA at the show, the outing raised eyebrows ... especially considering Lupita called it quits with her BF, Sal Masekela, the same day ... and swiftly deleted all traces of him from her IG.

Jodie Turner-Smith is pulling the plug on her marriage to Joshua Jackson ... TMZ has learned she just filed for divorce.

The British actress/model cites the boilerplate "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the divorce. According to the docs, filed by disso queen Laura Wasser, Jodie is asking for joint custody of their 3-year-old daughter, Juno.

Jodie wants to take spousal support off the table for both her and Joshua.

There's no prenup in place.

The date of separation is September 13.

Jodie and Joshua met during his 2018 birthday bash and their relationship was immediately fast-tracked ... they got engaged just months later.

The 2 went to the Beverly Hills Courthouse to snag a wedding license, before most people knew they were even dating.

They went Instagram official 10 days later with a pic of them gazing into each other's eyes during a dinner date.

There were breakup rumors in September 2022 after they unfollowed each other on Instagram, but they attended the Oscars back in March and looked very much like a couple.

Katie Holmes and Jamie Foxx are on the waterfront ahead of New Year's Eve -- and on the issue of jet skis ... Katie's leading the charge into battle.

The couple mounted some WaveRunners Saturday in Miami, and made a splash cruising around Biscayne Bay ... where Katie served as the pilot, and Jamie her trusty #2. She was ahead of him for most of the ride, and really seemed to have a handle on things.

KH and JF have been in Florida on a romantic getaway since at least Friday, where they've been staying in a luxury yacht ... just the two of them, as far as we can tell.

Going out as a couple has been a gradual progression for them since last September, when they first went public with their longtime relationship. Since then, they've been seen out together more and more ... and this is just their latest display of being boo'd up.

Hurricane Florence has the Wright Brothers on the run -- or at least the memorial dedicated to them -- and Richard Gere's favorite beachside inn is also bracing for the worst.

The Wright Bros. National Memorial in Kill Devil Hills, NC will be shut down to the public this week as Florence -- currently a category 4 storm -- barrels toward the Carolinas and Virginia. The memorial sits on the Outer Banks, and is directly in the hurricane's path ... so on Monday they shut down all operations to, as they say, batten down the hatches.

Florence's timing really sucks -- the memorial was supposed to get a replica Monday of the 1st plane Orville and Wilbur flew. That delivery was postponed for fear it would be damaged when the storm hits.

Nicholas Sparks fans will recognize the Outer Banks Inn from 2008's "Nights in Rodanthe." Yes, the place where Gere and Diane Lane banged a lot. The owners, Ben and Debbie Huss, are boarding up and getting outta Dodge -- but tell us they expect their famous house to mostly hold up to Florence.

That's a tall order with winds expected to reach up to 156 mph.

James Van Der Beek thinks it would be sacrilegious if a new actor donned Harrison Ford's iconic fedora in a new Indiana Jones movie ... unless that actor was him.

Our photogs caught up with the "Friends With Better Lives" star in New York City yesterday ... where we asked him about the huge rumor that Bradley Cooper might be the next Indy.

Van Der Beek was dead set against the idea of anyone new taking the role, but when we asked if he would want to do it ... he hilariously deadpanned, "Absolutely. F*** Harrison Ford."

Dawson's got game (at least, most of the time) .... 'cause TMZ Sports has video of James Van Der Beek ballin' in an entertainment basketball league -- hittin' 3s and airballs in the same game.

James is a member of the "Dallas" squad in the E-League at Equinox gym in L.A. -- along with his famous teammates Brandon Routh, Josh Hutcherson, James Lafferty and Nick Swardson.

And that's not all ... some of the stars from other teams include Michael B. Jordan, Trey Songz and Kevin Hart.

As for Van Der Beek, he had his ups and downs in Week 1 ... every time he did something well, it seems like he followed up with a blunder.

In the end, James' team lost -- but keep your head up, there's always next week!
