Sydney Sweeney is still with her fiancé Jonathan Davino and is NOT dating Glen Powell, multiple sources with knowledge tell TMZ ... this coming on the heels of a swarm of rumors pinning them together.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Sydney is still living with Jonathan and all is well between them -- they are still engaged. We're told Glen and Sydney are not dating.

Glen and Sydney have been filming for months ... the flirting, we're told, is tied to the rom-com.

Sydney was spotted with a massive diamond ring last year from Jonathan, and the 2 started dating back in 2018.

She mentioned in a February interview with Cosmo she doesn't like dating people in the entertainment industry ... makes sense, he's in the restaurant biz.

A clip of Glen and Sydney goofing around on a couch went viral, showing him dipping her while they both were full of laughs -- folks online took it as a major red flag.

The costars were then seen at CinemaCon to promote their new flick, getting just as close while posing for pics -- looking adoringly at each other.  We're told there's less here than meets the eye.

As for Glen, he's been dating Gigi Paris but she did something that raised eyebrows Monday ... she unfollowed Sydney. We have not been able to confirm whether they're still together.

A movie theater in Alaska unknowingly gave patrons a free 3D show ... after a real-life moose wandered inside!!!

It all went down in a theater in Kenai, Alaska and security footage shows the moment the large 4-legged animal stumbled into the cinema last week. You won't believe what the moose did as soon as he walked in to the lobby!

The furry customer looked around as some theater workers started recording in complete amusement ... others did so in fear.

The moose, on the other hand, seemingly had no care in the world ... approaching the counter and chowing down on buttery popcorn and some leftover food from the trash!!

Eventually, Mr. Moose made his exit at the urging of workers.

In Alaska, it's against the law to actively feed moose. According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game ... moose that have been fed are more likely to charge at people, including children.

Harry Belafonte, the iconic and pioneering singer, actor and civil rights activist is dead ... according to his rep.

Ken Sunshine says Harry -- who burst onto music charts in the 1950s before becoming a successful actor -- died Tuesday at his home in Manhattan of congestive heart failure.

Belafonte popularized calypso music in America in the early 50s with his infectious -- still, to this day -- hit song, "Banana Boat Song" ... also known as "Day-O." Younger folks will recognize it as that song from "Beetlejuice."

Harry was born in NYC to Jamaican-born parents, so his music was fueled by Caribbean sounds ... and his breakthrough album, "Calypso" became the first ever record to sell more than 1 million copies in a single year.

His music success made him in a commodity in Hollywood where he immediately landed roles in "Carmen Jones," "Island in the Sun" and "Odds Against Tomorrow." He was also very good friends with Sidney Poitier, with whom he costarred in the 70s classics, "Uptown Saturday Night" and "Buck and the Preacher."

As prominent as he was as an entertainer, Belafonte is equally hailed for his work as a civil rights leader and human rights activist. He was commonly seen marching with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in the 60s ... and he was at the forefront of efforts to fight famine in Africa.

He was one of the key organizers of the "We Are the World" charity record in 1985. In fact, Harry was so respected among the packed room of superstars that during the late night recording, they all spontaneously burst into a few verses of "Day-O." Very cool moment.

Just last December -- the last time he attended a public event -- he received the National Order of the Legion of Honour from the French government.

He's survived by his wife Pamela, 4 children -- including actress, Shari Belafonte -- 2 stepchildren and several grandchildren.

Harry Belafonte was 96.

Glen Powell's girlfriend seemingly isn't here for her boo getting any closer with his costar Sydney Sweeney ... because she did a social media detox of Sydney amid rumors she and Glen called it quits.

Glen's gf, Gigi Paris, unfollowed the "Euphoria" star on Instagram just as Sydney and Glen are stirring buzz their relationship is more than a work thing. Paris also posted breakup music on her IG stories, further fueling the notion she and Glen are dunzo.

Folks online have been speculating that Syd and Glen are a secret item -- or not-so-secret, depending on how you look at it. They both appeared at CinemaCon Monday night in Vegas ... and fans think the looks they're giving each other are super telling.

As you know, they had a blast shooting their new rom-com, "Anyone But You," in Australia... and a seriously cozy clip of the two, had fans going nuts -- one where Glen playfully dips Sydney while chilling on the couch.

Just to complicate things even more ... Sydney's supposedly still with restaurant owner Jonathan Davino, with whom she got engaged last year.

Pete Davidson's late-night car crash didn't result in serious injury, but that doesn't mean the comedian is gonna get off scot-free ... because we've learned he's now facing possible criminal charges as a result of the incident.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... the Beverly Hills Police Department recently wrapped its investigation, and sent the case over to the L.A. County District Attorney's Office to determine whether Pete will be charged for the crash.

As we first reported, drugs and alcohol were ruled out as factors in the mishap, but we know Pete was traveling at a high rate of speed when he crashed ... so you gotta imagine at the very least, a reckless driving charge is on the table.

TMZ broke the story ... Pete was driving with his girlfriend, Chase Sui Wonders, through Bev Hills last month when he lost control of his Mercedes, drove through someone's yard and crashed into the side of their house. No one was injured.

Pete was not cited at the time for the crash, but that didn't mean he was in the clear.

Pete Davidson's New York Knicks took home a big win, but one fan might wanna take a lesson in personal space ... cuz he got wayyy too far into Pete's zone.

Check out the video, Pete was posing for pics and high-fiving a bunch of his fellow Knick fans as he left Madison Square Garden Sunday afternoon. You see Pete appears to pose for a pic with one dude in a pink shirt and blue cap and continues to move through the crowd.

That clearly wasn't enough for the fan though, who continued to follow Pete ... putting his arm around the comedian and resting his head on Pete's shoulder.

Pete tries to stay cool, taking more pics with others, but when the overzealous fan continued to get all up in his grill Pete understandably snaps ... shoving the dude away and telling him to back off.

Finally, the fan takes a hint and leaves Pete alone.

While his exit was stressful, the good news for Pete is the Knicks defeated Cleveland to take a 3-1 series lead ... not to mention, he got to share a seat next to (and likely some laughs with) Jon Stewart.

We know Jonathan Majors' alleged DV victim was out partying after the incident in question -- but now -- there's video that appears to support Majors' team's claim she was just fine.

TMZ has obtained security footage that was referenced in a filing last week by his legal team -- where they submitted still images that they argued prove their case ... namely, that his woman was not assaulted by Majors at all, and that this whole thing is a false witch hunt.

That's been their argument from the beginning ... and the new video does seem to firm up their POV -- at least on its face, anyway.

Check out the clips for yourself ... we're told this was recorded at Loosie's Nightclub near Little Italy in Lower Manhattan after the taxi altercation with Majors -- which this woman claims turned violent and left her with injuries. However, here, she doesn't look too hurt.

You can view everything that Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, noted in her previous filing -- including where the alleged victim is seen walking in normally, ordering drinks, dancing and pushing her hair back with her hand ... which she claimed was injured by Majors.

There's an interesting moment where this woman is dancing by a DJ booth. She puts her drink down on the ledge, chats with the DJ and then launches forward abruptly ... possibly hitting her head. Later, you see her leaving while holding hands with another woman.

Remember, Majors' attorney claimed last week that her client was not with the alleged victim after the taxi cab moment ... and that he didn't come into contact with her again until the following morning -- when he allegedly found her unconscious in his bathroom.

At that point, he called 911 on her behalf ... and that's when cops showed up and arrested him.

His team all along has also insisted purported text messages sent from the alleged victim to Jonathan in the aftermath of all this -- where she appears to recant her allegations and apologize to him -- do not make any reference to injuries supposedly inflicted by him.

Olivia Wilde and Jason Sudeikis are still in the middle of a nasty custody battle, but you'd never know it watching the two cheer on their kiddo like the best of friends.

Both Olivia and Jason attended one of their kid's soccer games Saturday where they not only exchanged pleasantries, but also stood together chat as they took in all the action. It's not the first time we've seen them together since their split, but it's certainly a drastic change from what's been happening behind the scenes in their custody battle.

TMZ broke the story ... Olivia took home a victory in court last month when a judge rejected Jason's request to have the case moved from California to New York.

It was a big deal for Olivia, considering California is more generous with awarding child support, but the whole battle has still been pretty costly to the director.

In legal docs, obtained by DailyMail, Olivia's attorney wrote, "While Jason can afford to spin his wheels with filing after filing, Olivia cannot ... Jason should not be permitted to litigate Olivia into debt."

The temps are heating up and the water pressure is at full force with famous babes in the shower. Based on these good, clean and fun pics ... April showers are making May flowers look quite promising! There's some major drippage in the air, so check yourself before you wet yourself!

Taking their shower time to the tropics ... Stassie Karanikolaou and Alessandra Ambrosio celebrated some fun in the sun with a thorough rinse, and actress Jamie Chung joined in on the scrub-a-dub fun, also sharing a shower shot! Here's hoping April showers bring May flowers!

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are living out the plot of 'Ted Lasso' in real life -- 'cause their British soccer team just got bumped up to a whole new level of competition.

Wrexham won their match Saturday against Boreham Wood to come from behind and secure a 3-1 victory -- which guarantees them a promotion from the National League (the level 5 league in which they'd been playing of late) to the next tier ... League Two (4th tier).

If they get three more promotions ... Wrexham would be playing in the English Premier League alongside mega teams like Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United, etc.

They're not quite there yet ... but you could argue they're well on their way -- and Saturday's small step into the next chapter was not without celebration and ecstasy. Literally, you could see it all over Ryan and Rob's faces when the final whistle was blown.

RR and RME embraced in a hug as they were overcome with shock ... and eventually stormed the field with the rest of the team -- not to mention the rest of the fanbase.

Indeed ... Wrexham supporters were over the moon and rushed the pitch to ring in the win. And eventually, Ryan and Rob held up the big trophy -- which brings this Cinderella tale full circle. They became owners of Wrexham back in 2021 ... and have documented their journey.

The whole was showcased on an FX series called "Welcome to Wrexham" ... which dove into why Ryan and Rob got involved with this down-and-out club in a tiny town in North Wales.

Since their takeover, the team has turned around their luck ... and they've been playing well and ascending in the ranks. Now, the team has reached the milestone they've been battling for for a long time -- and they'll get to play in the league above them next year.

Like we said ... this is pretty much exactly what Jason Sudeikis goes through weekly on Apple TV -- except, in this case, Rob and Ryan are even more so fish out of water.

Steve Martin and Charlie Sheen are but a handful of celebs who seem to really want their blue checkmarks back on Twitter -- and they're making their concerns known, publicly.

The two Hollywood heavyweights took to the bird app over the past couple days to express their dismay at not being verified anymore -- and they tweeted their gripes too ... letting everyone (as well as Elon Musk, specifically) know they want to be 1 of 1 on Twitter.

First, Steve ... who may or may not be joking here. He writes, "I no longer have a blue check. But I would appreciate it if told me that you still see it. I really need this."

He's getting a lot of responses from fans who say he's still blue checkmark verified in their books ... and that he doesn't need Twitter's validation to be considered legit. Again, considering SM's sense of humor -- we feel like he's low-key trolling in this instance.

Then there's Charlie ... who, perhaps, sounds a bit more serious about wanting back in the blue club. He says with some zest, "dear @elonmusk i’m sorry your fancy rocket exploded in spectacular fashion. I’m certain you’ll build an even bigger and more explody one."

CS adds, "now, may i please have my blue check back? it would mean a lot to me. thank you in advance, sincerely - c sheen." Elon responded, saying he feels Chuck's pain.

Of course, some are responding to both Charlie and Steve and asking the obvious -- if you want a blue check, why not just pay for it ... especially seeing how you can easily afford it??? It's a fair question -- but it's also tricky ... 'cause blue checks are kinda cringe now.

Indeed ... the consensus online seems to be, if you still have a blue check -- except for LeBron, William Shatner and Stephen King (whose checks Elon has explicitly said he's comping) -- you obviously pay for it now ... aka, you're sorta in the "loser club," if you will.

If that is, indeed, the case ... there sure are a lot of "loser" A-listers who still have their checks and who presumably pay Elon $8/month -- including Taylor Swift, Arnold Schwarzenneger, LL Cool J, Khloe Kardashian, John Cena, Soulja Boy, Ellen DeGeneres, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus and The Weeknd (who's got a gold checkmark, surprisingly).

All these people have opted to retain their verified status ... and clearly see some value in letting the public know they still are who they say they are. Can't really knock 'em.

Feels like we're back in high school again ... so, pick your clique, we suppose. 🤷🏽‍♂️

The first photos of Alec Baldwin on the new "Rust" movie set have trickled out ... and one showed him handling a lever action rifle.

Baldwin was shooting scenes for the film in Pray, Montana, Friday when the images were snapped -- the actor was spotted passing the prop gun, handle first, to another crew member.

Another picture shows the actor wearing old Western garb while standing next to a horse just one day after prosecutors dropped involuntary manslaughter charges against him in the 2021 killing of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the first "Rust" set in New Mexico. Director Joel Souza was also wounded in the shooting but survived.

From the beginning, Baldwin maintained that he never pulled the trigger when he shot Hutchins with a revolver while practicing for a scene, claiming the gun had discharged on its own. He also said he was told the gun was not loaded with live ammo.

The Santa Fe D.A. folded like a cheap suit, belatedly conceding the prop gun Baldwin used at the time had a modified trigger that increased the likelihood the firearm could misfire without actually pulling the trigger.

Armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed still faces involuntary manslaughter charges. Former "Rust" assistant director David Halls cut a plea deal with prosecutors for his role in Hutchins' death and was sentenced to 6 months probation.

Bill Maher told a great story Friday night about an AAA-list Hollywood shindig where all the beautiful people were railing against cancel culture. They didn't have the balls to follow through, but Bill certainly did -- with the first annual COJONES AWARDS!!!

Bill says a big-time producer invited him to his Brentwood home to moderate a discussion on how to put the brakes on cancel culture. He says it seemed every big actor in Hollywood was there, and they were all charged up. When Bill suggested an awards show to honor those who pushed back, everyone was charged and promised to follow through. They didn't.

Well, on 'Real Time,' Bill did.  He presented awards to folks who, as Bill says, told the eggshell skull-whiners ... "F*** off you over-sensitive little s****."

This year's award recipients include the President of Cornell University, who refused to offer a "trigger warning" to students in lectures that may prove too much for them to handle.

Another recipient -- Trader Joe's, which refused to yank Trader José beer from its shelves.

And Netflix honcho Ted Sarandos snagged a set of balls for refusing to pull Dave Chappelle from the menu.

Koko Da Doll, one of the memorable subjects from the recent documentary "Kokomo City," is dead ... and the film's director says she was shot and killed as a result of trans violence.

D. Smith -- director of the moving, award-winning doc featured this year at Sundance -- shared the sad news Friday, saying Koko, AKA Rasheeda Williams, "was shot and killed in Atlanta" Tuesday night.

She added, Williams' death makes her "the latest victim of violence against Black transgender women," -- but says she will "inspire generations to come and will never be forgotten."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Atlanta PD says cops responded to reports of a shooting just before 11 PM, and investigators found a woman who had been shot -- she was pronounced dead on the scene.

For those unaware, "Kokomo City" took home 2 awards at this year's Sundance Film Festival -- following Black transgender sex workers, including Williams, as they lived and worked in New York and ATL.

Williams, along with Daniella Carter, Liyah Mitchell, and Dominique Silver, accurately put a spotlight on the horrendous threats women like them face on a daily basis.

Sundance is also paying respects, saying "We were honored to have her at the Festival this year with KOKOMO CITY, where she reminded Black trans women, 'we can do anything, we can be whatever we want to be.' It is a tragic loss."

Williams was 35.

Alec Baldwin continues to embarrass Santa Fe New Mexico authorities who charged him with involuntary manslaughter ... because he may have been right all along when he insisted he never pulled the trigger on the gun that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

The prop gun Baldwin used back in 2021 had been modified, this according to the L.A. Times ... the trigger mechanism had been changed which increased the probability it could have misfired without Baldwin pulling the trigger.

Baldwin insisted he never pulled the trigger, something prosecutors and even the FBI disputed. The D.A. made a big deal of its theory that pulling the trigger was a major component of its case ... a case that has now gone up in flames.

What's unclear ... when did authorities learn of the modification on the gun? And how could it be ... Baldwin was charged before the authorities properly examined the weapon to understand exactly what happened.

The involuntary manslaughter case against Baldwin is being dropped ... less than 2 weeks before the trial is set to begin. The case was widely criticized, in no small part because the D.A. somehow felt an actor was responsible for checking the work of an expert armorer.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the armorer on the set, remains the only person charged with involuntary manslaughter.

Twitter's looking really different right now, as some huge celebs are getting stripped of their precious blue checkmarks ... but despite Elon Musk cutting their verifications, some A-listers are handing the bird the monthly fee.

Taylor Swift, Khloe Kardashian, and Ryan Reynolds are among the bunch putting up cash to keep the badge ... as well as Soulja Boy and The Weeknd.

It doesn't stop there -- Arnold Schwarzenegger, Nick Carter, LL Cool J, O.J. Simpson, Sia, and John Cena seem to be shelling out the dough, too.

If you click on their checkmarks, you'll now see the following response -- "This account is verified because they are subscribed to Twitter Blue and verified their phone number.”

Worth noting, there are a couple reasons why their usernames still come with a side of blue. For starters, they could be paying to keep Twitter Blue's features -- uploading longer vids, making longer tweets and editing tweets.

Of course, these folks could have been paying the $11/month, and made the decision to unsubscribe within the past month ... so, the checkmark is just there until it expires.

You also might have noticed some celebs who have the check, but say they aren't paying -- well, Elon says he's covering the cost for a chosen few ... his Inner Blue Circle, if you will.

As we reported, celebs like Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian and K-pop group Blackpink all had their verification revoked when the change rolled out Thursday ... but it looks like there are a decent amount doing their part to keep the lights on at Twitter HQ.
