Lots of Los Angelenos were disappointed Saturday night with the Lakers getting shellacked ... including a score of celebs who watched ... mostly on the hardwood of course!

Lakers vs. Nuggets Game 3 was a no-contest event, with the Lakers losing by a score of 119 to 108.  Among those who winced as they watched ... Adele, Jake Gyllenhaal, Denzel Washington, Eddie Murphy, Robert Pattinson, Andy Garcia, Jimmy Iovine, Flea and Jennifer Hudson.

Jack Nicholson should get his own, separate call out, so here it is ... he was on hand with his son, Ray.

But wait, there's more ... Eddie Murphy was hobnobbing it with entertainment titan Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Johnny Depp knows this is a pivotal moment in his career, and a real chance to get back his A-list Hollywood status ... so, that's exactly why he's focusing on the important stuff to get his mind right.

Sources connected to the actor tell us his recent stop at the Cannes Film Festival -- where he premiered his movie "Jeanne du Barry" -- was different from years before. We're told, back in the day, Johnny would've attended every after-party and stayed up late.

Our sources say after Tuesday's premiere, he made the decision to head back to his room early to make sure he got enough rest and to prepare for another day of media interviews.

We're told Johnny's experienced "an evolution in terms of prioritizing his health and rest" while also really picking things up with his work.

After Cannes, Depp flew to London to do Jeff Beck's tribute show with Eric Clapton and several other guitar greats -- and then he's hitting the road with his band Hollywood Vampires.

From there, he'll jump right into directing duties on "Modi," starring Al Pacino.

Depp's certainly been welcomed back by his adoring fans, and even corporations -- remember that new $20 million deal with Dior -- so it's no surprise he wants to strike while the iron's hot and capitalize on all the positive attention.

As for Amber Heard, she's hightailed it to Spain where she lives a much more quiet life with her kiddo.

Owen Wilson needs a new pair of pajamas ... because police say a homeless man got into the actor's house and promptly threw on some of Owen's sleepwear.

Law enforcement tells TMZ ... the man ended up inside Owen's Santa Monica home Tuesday night, rummaging through the house before slipping into a pair of the actor's pj's.

We're told Owen's assistant came home to discover the intruder, coming face-to-face with the man before they both booked it out of the house in separate directions.

Owen's assistant called Santa Monica PD, and cops rushed over with lights and sirens blaring, setting up a perimeter and nabbing the suspect in a nearby yard, still wearing Owen's duds.

Police say it doesn't appear the man took anything else from the home. The guy was booked on felony burglary.

We're told cops believe the suspect didn't know it was Owen's home.

Underneath this mashed-up photo is a highly acclaimed movie star who's been workin' her tail off since the '90s, and since she's known for performing her own stunts ... don't be surprised if she whoops your butt at this scramble! Are you equipped to take on the challenge?!

Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are clearly lovin' their vacation together ... so much, in fact, that he gave her a nice pat on the rear as they stepped onto dry land for some lunch!

The Amazon bigwig and his boo were spotted in the South of France Saturday, taking some time away from his $500M superyacht to get some grub at Plage Keller in Antibes. We're told as Jeff helped Lauren into the spot, he gave her a playful smack on the butt!

The 2 were all smiles as they strolled into the restaurant together, clearly havin' a blast while in full vacay mode.

As we reported, the happy couple's been enjoying their time out in Europe on Jeff's half-a-bil yacht, dubbed the Koru ... soaking in the sun together on the new vessel's maiden voyage.

There was also discussion on whether or not the ship's busty figurehead was made to look exactly like Lauren ... but folks online have been debating if it really resembles her.

BTW -- Jeff and Lauren are now just a 30-minute drive from Cannes ... unclear if they just happened to move the vacation towards the big festival as a coincidence, or if they're planning on making an appearance before it wraps next week.

Looks like the drama at this year's Cannes Film Festival isn't just on the silver screen ... because the head of the entire event got into a seriously heated spat with a cop over his bike riding outside a hotel.

The Friday night confrontation was caught on camera by French journalist Eric Morillot ... who says the argument quickly turned physical after Cannes Director Thierry Frémaux was zipping around outside the Carlton Hotel, where a good chunk of attendees is staying.

Morillot says the Cannes honcho asked the cop for his name after apparently denying him the spot ... getting more and more heated as the bickering went on -- even threatening to file a complaint.

Of course, all the shouting's happening in French, but tension like that is a universal language. The heat reportedly died down later, with the 2 shaking hands.

For what it's worth, Frémaux announced at the beginning of this festival he'd be riding around on his bike to reduce his carbon footprint ... but it's unclear if he'll be making the switch back to cars now.

As you know, Frémaux's been welcoming the likes of Harrison Ford and Johnny Depp to the festival this year -- with both actors getting standing ovations after their films were shown in front of esteemed audiences.

Martin Scorsese is the latest to touch down in France ... bringing "Killers of the Flower Moon" to the festival Saturday -- and the cast joined him, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, and Jesse Plemmons.

New York Jets star Sauce Gardner will never forget Jessica Alba now ... 'cause just a couple weeks after he didn't know who she was during a Knicks game meetup -- he scored some custom cleats with her face all over them!!!

Sauce got the feet heat this week from artist Mike Jordan ... who thought it was absolutely hilarious that the NFL defensive back couldn't recognize her while the two were at Game 2 of the Heat-Knicks playoff series with Aaron Rodgers.

If you missed it, Sauce revealed two days after his Madison Square Garden man-date with his new QB that he truly had no knowledge of the actress as she sat right near him in a courtside seat. In fact, he said Rodgers made fun of him for it all night.

Jordan tells TMZ Sports ... he wanted to commemorate the funny ordeal by drawing up some Alba-themed kicks for the 22-year-old cornerback.

On one of the Nike Vapor spikes, Jordan featured a depiction of Alba in her movie "Honey." On the other, he drew Alba from her Susan Storm role in the "Fantastic Four."

Jordan says both shoes took a few days to complete ... and he ultimately ended up dropping them off for Sauce at the Jets' facility on Tuesday.

"I wanted to do something fun," Jordan said of the spikes. "I hope Jessica likes them, too."

Daniel Day-Lewis doesn't do anything half-assed, and that includes dropping outta Hollywood ... because the highly acclaimed actor couldn't look more relaxed than he does on the streets of NYC.

In an extremely rare sighting, the reclusive actor was out Friday with his wife Rebecca Miller ... holding hands as they strolled around Manhattan's West Village.

DDL is the picture of chill in a ball cap and sweats, 6 years into his retirement from making movies.

He was also rocking a tracksuit Thursday while out and about in the Big Apple, and he's obviously decided to grow out his locks while away from the limelight. Truth is, Daniel bears a striking resemblance these days to his character from "The Last of the Mohicans."

Pretty sure that's a flip phone in his hand, too -- a fitting retro look for a guy who's rarely been photographed in public since 2017, when he starred in Paul Thomas Anderson's "Phantom Thread."

The 3-time Oscar winner announced his step back from acting months before the film's release, thanking his fans and collaborators over the years.

If he weren't retired, we'd say this new chill look is a prime case of his legendary method acting -- Daniel famously became his characters while preparing for roles, even off-camera.

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp are both thriving in Europe, but leading very different lives -- while he's getting standing ovations in Cannes, she's keeping things lowkey as she goes about another day in Spain.

AH was out and about Thursday in Madrid, where she's now living with her daughter, Oonagh ... and looking pretty content with her new life.

She stopped to snap a pic with a fan, and was all smiles chatting it up with a pal, too. All in all, Amber seems to be in great spirits nearly one year after a jury unanimously found she had defamed her ex-husband ... whose life has also dramatically shifted.

As we reported, Johnny was clearly the fan favorite at Cannes, opening up the festival with his role as King Louis XV in Maïwenn's "Jeanne du Barry" ... and fans flocked outside the theater to welcome him back to the silver screen.

He also got a couple of massive standing ovations -- once when he first walked into the theater and again after the film, leaving Johnny pretty emotional.

Easy to understand why -- before last year's verdict, Depp was seen as a showbiz pariah accused of abusing Heard. Now, he's being celebrated for his acting and getting $20 million to remain the face of Dior's Sauvage cologne.

As we reported, Amber's become a fixture around Madrid amid reports she's quit Hollywood.

Interesting parallel, and seemingly happy, lives after all the drama of last year's bitterness.

Issa Rae is over the moon she's making her big Marvel debut in the world of animation ... because she tells us she's been a big comic book head since she was a lil' kid!

We got Issa Thursday at LAX, and we talked about her getting her spidey senses flowing for the upcoming flick "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" -- something she's stoked about for a couple of reasons.

For those unaware, Issa's playing Jessica Drew -- another variant of Spider-Woman ... and even though a majority of the film's plot is kept under wraps, one thing about her character is certain -- she's fighting crime with a bun in the oven!

Issa's all about representation, but she has a word of warning for any pregnant ladies out there ... don't be fightin'! Regardless, she's all for the bigger message -- that women's lives don't need to be put on hold just because they're having a baby.

"Good Burger" is returning to the big screen with OG stars Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell ... and we nabbed an early look at the new production's set as filming gets underway.

Eyewitnesses tell TMZ ... the sequel "Good Burger 2" started shooting Thursday in North Providence, RI around 8 AM, and it's obvious the set designers put a lot of work into recreating the look of the classic '90s flick.

We're told production completely transformed a vacant Friendly's ice cream shop ('memba those?) into the new Good Burger joint.

The joint was originally painted red, but that all changed about 2 weeks ago when production gave the shop a major facelift ... just after notifying local businesses.

Sources say the crew went in and did a full paint job, added window decals and more. They even built a concrete wall in the parking lot, before finishing it off with some spray paint.

And, now it's time to get all that hard work on camera -- we're told they've been filming all this week ... with the cast and crew shooting a scene involving some actors at the graffiti wall.

Paul Walker's brother says there are no surprise appearances from him in the final chapter (allegedly) of the 'Fast and Furious' franchise ... but he's happy another family member is getting her shine.

We got Cody Walker Thursday right after Ludacris got his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame -- and we asked him about the new "Fast X" movie, and Paul's daughter Meadow Walker appearing in it.

First off ... while Cody says there are no secret cameos from him in "Fast X", he acknowledges there's always been talk of it, and doesn't completely shut the door.

Fact is, it wouldn't be much of a secret if he told us!

As far as possible CGI scenes of Paul's character, Brian O'Conner ... Cody says he's not involved in those decisions. He does tell us Paul is referenced in it, as you'd expect.

As we reported, Meadow does have a small role in "Fast X" ... and she says it's a blessing to be able to honor her father's legacy.

Cody tells us he's stoked and it makes total sense his niece is taking the torch from her father for her first appearance in a 'Fast' flick.

The new movie is in theaters this week and is expected to make a ton of money at the box office ... which is no surprise to Cody. He tells us why Paul would have been pleasantly surprised at the franchise's direction since starring in the OG film back in the day.

Cody's still big on the car scene -- just as Paul was -- his FuelFest will be at Irwindale Speedway, outside L.A., on June 3 ... and he says the accompanying car show will showcase the top custom exotic cars from around the globe.

Add live music, drag races, and drifting and ya got the perfect party for diehard "FF" fans.

Cody sounds like he's fine with not joining the franchise, preferring to leave the acting up to his niece.

Harrison Ford was supposed to be the center of attention at Cannes today, but it's the folks in charge of festival logistics that are getting side-eye after giving his wife, Calista Flockhart, a seat BEHIND the actor at his big premiere.

The veteran actor and his actress wife arrived hand in hand Thursday to thunderous applause at the world premiere of the highly-anticipated “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny."

You can see the two scanning the seating assignments, and Calista notices she's been seated behind her hubby -- mentioning something to him behind a smile. Ford notices the awkward arrangement as well -- appearing to give an "Oh" as Calista stands by his side.

All the folks around them seem to be caught up in their applause, but it's a super cringe moment, to say the least. Unclear who is responsible or what might have led to the mix-up, but it's pretty strange to have the two sit separately ... especially on Ford's big night.

The power couple has been together since 2002, and they tied the knot in 2010 so it's not like this is a new fling.

Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are back in action ... and we have the first images of the famous duo filming together for their upcoming 'Bad Boys' flick.

The actors were spotted Wednesday in Atlanta shooting a scene for "Bad Boys 4" ... and, the guys are fully in character -- Will as Det. Mike Lowrey and Martin as Marcus Miles Burnett.

As you can see, they were right in the thick of all the action ... it appears Will's character was talking Martin off an 8-story ledge, as he stood near the edge wearing a hospital gown.

You'll recall we saw Will on set of the new film, last month, but this is the first time we've seen him and Martin together in front of the cameras.

Will's fully back into the swing of his movie career since he infamously slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars. While Smith is banned from attending the award show for 10 years ... it's not impacting his appeal as an A-list draw for Hollywood blockbusters.

This will be the 4th installment of their 'Bad Boys' franchise, which started way back in '95.

The "White Men Can't Jump" remake -- starring Jack Harlow -- will pay tribute to Lance Reddick by dedicating the upcoming film to the late actor, following his sudden death.

TMZ Sports is told ... the film, a remake of the original 1992 flick, featuring Reddick in one of the leading roles, will receive an on-screen dedication ... after the actor passed away in March due to heart disease.

Reddick, best known for his work on HBO's The Wire and the John Wick movie franchise, plays a character named "Benji."

Of course, Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson starred in the OG White Men Can't Jump in 1992, and became an instant classic.

Charles “Calmatic” Kidd II, the Grammy-award-winning director of the remake, recently raved about working with Reddick while talking to the LA Times.

"As director, it was weird because I’m so used to giving actors notes. But for [Lance], I was like, “Man, I don’t have any notes. That was damn near perfect.” So I think what I learned from him was the importance of prep."

"I feel like when he came onto the set, he was just so prepared and knew exactly what to do and knew all the nuances of his character that he just knocked [it] out the park the first time. I don’t think we realize how good we had it for him to be a part of this film."

Harlow also recently opened during the movie's premiere about what it was like working with Lance, saying it "was an absolute pleasure to be around" him.

Reddick was 60 years old.

Rachel Bilson says she had a gig pulled out from under her for openly sharing her sex preferences in the bedroom, which she says include being "f***ing manhandled" while doin' the deed!

Here's the deal ... the actress was talking about her favorite sex positions on the "Women on Top" podcast earlier this month, and one part went viral when she explained the wild reason why missionary is one of her favorites.

This week, on her own "Broad Ideas" podcast, she revealed she had a new job locked in place ... but the sex talk cost her the whole thing.

Rachel's pretty pressed over it, claiming she was just speaking in a "humorous way" about sex, and can't fathom why the plug was pulled for simply being honest.

Looking back, Rachel's pretty sure she might've worded her opinion differently, but says she definitely wouldn't have stopped herself from telling her truth.

She adds it's the first time something she's said has made her lose work, but for those unaware, she's been candid about her sex life in the past -- revealing she didn't have her first orgasm until she was 38 years old.
