Will Smith's efforts as a dad are getting serious recognition from his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith -- who paid a glowing Father's Day tribute to him ... despite their bizarre dynamic.

The actress dropped a family IG pic Sunday -- which featured their kids Willow and Jaden, alongside his ex-wife Sheree Zampino and their son Trey ... all while giving props to Will for rocking the game as both a girl dad and a boy dad.

Jada acknowledged Will didn't just hit the mark in fatherly duties -- he went above and beyond.

Morgan Freeman is once again voicing his disdain for Black History Month ... blasting the tribute as a deeply flawed concept.

The Oscar winner -- who has spoken out against Black History Month a number of times over the years -- railed against the annual observance in a new interview with Variety ... saying he absolutely detests it, while noting he simply doesn't relate.

MF says ... "You are going to give me the shortest month in a year? And you are going to celebrate ‘my’ history?! This whole idea makes my teeth itch. It’s not right."

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Vivienne chose to spend Father's Day by her A-list mom's side ... hitting the Tony Awards in the Big Apple, and channeling her mama's style.

The mother-daughter duo stepped out in twinning teal ensembles Sunday to support "The Outsiders" musical -- which was nominated for 12 awards heading into Broadway's biggest night ... and which Angie is responsible for co-producing.

Angie's teen daughter is notably serving as a producer's assistant on the play, so she helped out her mom with getting it all together. And, while "The Outsiders" won Best Musical ... that might not be the only reason Viv skipped out on spending the holiday with Brad.

Ben Affleck spent time with his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, and not his current wife, Jennifer Lopez, for Father's Day -- this after J Lo sent him some love for the holiday.

JG was photographed Sunday walking up to Ben's rental in Brentwood -- heading up the driveway solo in a relaxed 'fit with no one else in sight ... at least in this shot anyway. The one person who was also not with Jennifer ... the other Jennifer, who still shouted out BA.

ICYMI, J Lo posted a Father's Day tribute to Ben Sunday, throwing up a photo of him from "Pearl Harbor" and calling him a "hero" ... even though we now know she wasn't with him.

Grab those toolkits and ties, people ... it's Father's Day once again -- and, Hollywood knows how to highlight its dads, the famous ones and the ones who helped raise a future celeb.

Hollywood celebrities shared pictures with their own fathers or -- if they have kids themselves -- then pics of them with their little ones ... and, you can just feel all the fatherly love coming through social media.

Glen Powell and Mark Zuckerberg started off the festivities by highlighting their own dads -- with Zuck even humbling his billionaire persona to highlight his old man in a shirt that reads "Ed's Kid."

Jennifer Lopez still has kind words for her man Ben Affleck ... wishing him a Happy Father's Day despite their recent marital woes.

The singer-songwriter shared a pic of a young Ben to her Instagram story in black and white ... and small lettering appears, one letter after another, under it. The message reads, "Our Hero. Happy Father's Day."

She also tossed in a white heart emoji ... letting everyone know she's still got a lotta love for her husband of nearly two years who is dad to Violet, Seraphina and Samuel and stepdad to her kids Max and Emme.

Prince William's remembering the good old days on Father's Day ... posting a rare throwback photo of himself with his dad, King Charles.

The Prince of Wales shared the snap, featuring a him as a small Royal running around a garden while his father -- looking tall and stylish in a dapper suit -- supervises.

Will's got a huge grin on his face ... and, even his usually stoic dad's cracking a smile -- a rare sight for the King of England. William addressed His Royal Highness informally in the caption, calling him "Pa."

These hustling and bustling Dads are celebrating Father's Day today, so to honor their studly looks we've gathered Hollywood's hottest and now it's up to you to identify who's who!

Underneath this cheeky mashed-up photo is one macho man but more importantly a Hot Hollywood Zaddy who can GET IT on the big screen and from the sidelines ... HOOK 'EM! Use your fatherly instincts, and see if you can score this dad lookin' dazed and confused!

A true Texan, he shares his three kiddos -- who also live in the Lone Star State -- with his hot Brazilian-American model wife.

He was part of the iconic bet: "How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days", but can you win over the unknown famous father given these clues?

Father's Day should be a time to rethink parenting so kids aren't running the show at home ... so grouses Bill Maher!

The "Real Time" host bore in on the whole "Gentle Parenting" movement, where parents treat kids like right-thinking adults. Turns out cow-towing to children does great harm to the kids parents think they're nurturing. Bill notes the run-of-the-mill high school student has the same level of anxiety as a psychiatric patient in the early 1950s. Nuff said.

Mr. Maher argues the OG traditional dad, or trad dad, is the answer. Go back to treating kids like they are -- little people without judgment who need discipline and preparation for real life.

It's a dad's world and we're just livin' it ... well, for this weekend at least 😜! Come kick off Father's Day weekend with these A-list stars and their adorable celebrity mini-mes!

Proudly posting their little ones on social media, famous fathers like Rob Lowe had a lil' R&R with matching robes and face masks with his son John Owen .... like father like son, Cristiano Ronaldo's son is absolutely SHREDDED and watch what happens when Andy Cohen matches his PJ's with little Ben!

Joey Chestnut and his longtime nemesis Takeru Kobayashi are going head-to-head in a hot dog eating contest once again -- but it won't be part of the usual Fourth of July event ... it's a Labor Day extravaganza!!

The showdown is 15 years in the making -- the two last went at it in 2009 at the traditional Nathan's competition in Coney Island ... when Jaws beat Kobayashi to defend his mustard belt.

The timing of the announcement is pretty interesting -- on Tuesday, Major League Eating announced Chestnut was OUT of the Independence Day contest due to an endorsement deal he inked with a rival food company.

President Biden threw a big bash at the White House ... an early celebration for the upcoming Juneteenth holiday ... and it looks like Joe was in a happy daze.

Biden and VP Kamala Harris were front and center Monday night on the famous South Lawn, chillin' with Billy Porter, among others who came out for the celebration ... which included a concert and a standup comedy performance.

POTUS knows how to host a party ... the main draw here was live music with performances by Gladys Knight, Patti Labelle, Kirk Franklin, Doug E. Fresh and Trombone Shorty. Solid lineup, for sure. Comedian Roy Wood Jr. served as the opening act.

Although these two can be slightly shady on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" ... here to kick off Pride weekend are besties Garcelle Beauvais and Sutton Stracke. Do you have what it takes to find the changes in the two colorful shots?

In typical Beverly Hills fashion, the two ladies rolled up to the Pride parade bad and bougie in a black Bentley! They braved the West Hollywood hotness by fanning off 🔥, but can you rip through the pictures and score the alterations?

Happy Pride!

2024 is struggling to compete with last year's impressive box office numbers ... with 2 expected blockbusters underperforming over Memorial Day weekend, doing historically bad.

A Comscore report shows "Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga" and "The Garfield Movie" both failed to impress this holiday weekend ... bringing in only $32 million and $31.1 million, respectively.

While 'Furiosa' did find itself in the No.1 spot ... its box office total was strikingly different than what "The Little Mermaid" brought in last year. For the record, the live-action remake brought in $117 million on its opening weekend.

The weather's heating up, and even celebrities need to take a day off every once in a while ... with many getting summer started earlier than the calendar indicates.

Tom Brady knew exactly how he wanted to spend his long weekend ... ripping off his shirt and ending up on a wakeboard, big grin on his face. Loving that ocean breeze through the hair, Tom!

Meanwhile, Sofia Vergara took a snap with her tiny dog ... and wished everyone a very happy holiday -- seemingly enjoying the day with a close pal of hers.
