Al Pacino Demanded DNA Test Did Not Believe He Could Impregnate Anyone

Al Pacino was so certain he could not get his girlfriend or anyone else pregnant, he did not believe the baby was his at first, and got a DNA test for proof ... sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ.

The 83-year-old actor, we're told, had medical issues that would have commonly prevented a man from impregnating a woman. We're told Al had no idea until 2 months ago that 29-year-old Noor Alfallah was pregnant, and when he found out he was "shocked."

Our sources say Al doubted at first the baby was his and wanted a DNA test. We're told Noor obliged and the test showed he was indeed the dad.

Showbiz 411 first reported the paternity test.

TMZ broke the story ... Noor is 8 months pregnant. It will be Al's 4th child.

LeBron James is giving his stamp of approval to the actors who played him and his high school teammates in an upcoming movie ... saying the talented group of guys knocked it out of the park.

The NBA superstar and the rest of the St. Vincent-St. Mary "Fab Five" squad attended the "Shooting Stars" premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday ... and King James was super complimentary of the final product as he addressed the crowd before the start of the flick.

James admitted it was a weird experience for him, Romeo Travis, Sian Cotton, Willie McGee and Dru Joyce III to see their lives played out on the screen ... but said the cast perfected every last detail.

"You guys did an unbelievable job," James said.

Of course, the Peacock project -- produced by Bron's SpringHill Entertainment -- is based on the book James released alongside Buzz Bissinger in 2009 ... which focuses on James and Co.'s journey to winning high school state championships.

The flick stars names like Wood Harris, "Stranger Things" actor Caleb McLaughlin and high school phenom Mookie Cook ... and hits the streaming service on Friday.

Ben and Jen Finally Seal the Deal on $60 Million Home!!!

UPDATE

5:38 PM PT -- Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are wasting no time now that they've purchased a new home together ... because they're already moving in their stuff, and the house is buzzing with activity.

UPDATE

Ben and Jen's belongings are piled up high in the driveway ... and there's tons of furniture, paintings, rugs and a bunch of moving boxes.

UPDATE

Moving crews are hard at work getting everything inside ... and it looks like Jen and Ben will have no problems filling out their massive estate.

UPDATE

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have FINALLY bought a house after 2 years of looking ... and it's amazing.

The house boasts a cinema, wine room, whiskey lounge and a spa with a hair and nail salon, and a sauna and massage room. And get this, there's also a separate, 5,000-square-foot sports facility, which includes an indoor pickleball court, boxing ring and sports lounge. On top of that, there's a 2-bedroom guard house.

In all, there are 12 bedrooms, 24 bathrooms and 15 fireplaces!

Ben and Jen paid $60,850,000 ... and they paid in cash. The whole deal took 1 week, start to finish.

It sounds like a lot of loot, but it turns out they got an incredible deal. The property was listed in 2018 for $135,000,000 and relisted this year for $75M.

It sits on a 5-acre promontory and the security is unmatched ... the estate is double-gated.

It's considered the crown jewel of Wallingford, and that's saying something.

The newlyweds have had several false starts, going into escrow on a few other estates but pulling the plug before closing.

Ben and Jen were repped by celeb realtor Brett Lawyer. The seller was repped by Ginger Glass.

Pete Davidson has a new best friend, a super cute pup ... and he was all smiles as he picked up his new buddy with girlfriend Chase Sui Wonders.

They picked up the pooch in New York City, going to Citipups in Manhattan to get their furry friend ... the pet store just posted footage of Pete and Chase at the counter.

Folks who work at Citipups tell TMZ ... Pete and Chase came through May 21 and left with a cavapoo puppy. We're told the pup, a boy, was only 2.5 months old ... and he didn't have a name, so Pete and Chase have a big decision to make.

The puppy's not a rescue or anything ... we're told it was from a breeder.

Leading up to Pete's in-store visit, we're told Pete was in contact with Citipups and told them he fell in love with the cavapoo after seeing a photo of the pup.

Pete brought Chase along with him ... and we're told they loved the dog and bought it on the spot. Naturally, we're told Pete and Chase are super excited with their new pup ... though it's unclear if it's Pete's dog or if they got it together.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

It's good to see Pete with a four-legged friend ... earlier this month he mourned the death of his 2-year-old dog Henry.

'Five For Fighting' 'Memba Him?!

American singer and songwriter Vladimir John Ondrasik III -- more commonly known as "Five For Fighting" -- was in his mid-30s when he rose to stardom with hit songs like "Superman", "100 Years" and "The Riddle."

The singer's popularity continued well into the late 2000s ... "Chances" played over the end credits of the film "The Blind Side" with Sandra Bullock and Tim McGraw. In 2016, Five For Fighting's song "Born To Win" debuted and was the opening montage track for the Season 8 finale of "American Ninja Warrior."

To this day, Five For Fighting's music is appreciated and respected by other big-name musicians like Idina Menzel.

Guess what he looks like now!

Kim Cattrall Coming Back As Samantha Jones For 'And Just Like That...'

And just like that, Kim Cattrall is reprising her role as Samantha Jones for the sequel to "Sex and the City" ... TMZ has confirmed.

The actress is set to make an appearance as her famous character in the upcoming series of "And Just Like That..." ... but Kim will be limited to just a brief cameo as Sam the publicist.

Kim filmed one scene for the upcoming series, returning to the franchise after a nasty feud with her former costar, Sarah Jessica Parker.

After reports of Kim's shocking return broke Wednesday, the official Twitter account for the show played into the news ... tweeting, "Secret's out!!"

Kim did not appear as Samantha in the first season of "And Just Like That..." ... but she's involved in the second season, which premieres June 22 on Max, despite previously declaring she was done with the franchise due to her beef with Sarah.

The last time Kim played Samantha was in the 2010 movie, "Sex and the City 2."

While "And Just Like That..." is coming back in June, reports say Kim's cameo doesn't come until August, so it sounds like it's pretty late in the season.

Stay tuned ...

Swae Lee's last journey through the Spider-Verse resulted in several diamond plaques -- a feat not lost on Metro Boomin, who just recruited the Rae Sremmurd rapper to lead the first soundtrack single of the new film "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse!!!"

On Wednesday, Metro lifted the veil off the animated visual for "Calling," a star-studded collab that also features Nav and A Boogie Wit da Hoodie.

Swae's melodic crooning kicks off the track as lead character Miles Morales doodles in his notebook ... and the vid later previews the latest version of popular character Gwen Stacy.

The film and soundtrack drop simultaneously on Friday ... and Metro has been slowly revealing the features on Instagram, just like he did with his chart-topping "Heroes & Villians" album last year.

So far, Metro has confirmed heavy hitters such as Lil Wayne, Future, Nas, 21 Savage, Coi Leray ... and the list goes on.

The track still stands as the most decorated song of all time at 18x platinum. "Calling" has some big shoes to fill but the film has been earning rave reviews, so anything is possible!!!

GA Car Wreck Car Catapults Through Air After Hitting Tow Truck Ramp

CRAZY CAR STUNT
Lowndes County Sheriffs Office

A scene straight out of 'Fast and the Furious' unfolded on the side of a busy highway ... as a distracted driver hit a tow truck ramp and hurled through the air.

The insane video was captured on body cam from May 24 along Highway 84 in Southern GA. Officials from the Lowndes County Sheriff’s Office were on scene for a crash that had happened just minutes earlier ... but things quickly turn from bad to worse.

You see two other vehicles traveling down the highway on the same side a tow truck is parked and waiting to load up another busted ride. Clearly not paying attention, one of the new drivers hits the tow truck's ramp ... and goes flying through the air.

Debris shoots everywhere, and officers rush over to the car while requesting EMS.

The driver in the car that hit the ramp was reportedly hospitalized with serious injuries. It's unclear if the driver will face any charges for driving in the lane next to the shoulder while emergency vehicles were stopped.

Al Pacino Baby No. 4 Came as a Total Surprise ... 83-year-Old Gearing Up for Dad Mode Yet Again

Al Pacino wasn't looking to become a new daddy at the ripe old age of 83 ... we've learned his girlfriend's pregnancy came as a total surprise to the actor.

Sources close to Pacino and 29-year-old Noor Alfallah tell us ... he was not gunning to have baby #4 in their fairly-new relationship. They've only been dating for a year.

Although it seems like a "no duh," there are a bunch of seniors who are intentional about producing offspring, like 73-year-old Richard Gere, who has a 2 1/2-year-old, a 4-year-old and a 9-year-old. And famously, there's Tony Randall, who was 77 when he and his 26-year-old wife had the first of 2 kids. Larry King was 65 when he had his son Chance, followed by son Cannon the next year. And, Billy Joel was 71 when he had his last kid.

TMZ broke the story ... Alfallah is 8 months pregnant, something she's been able to keep a secret, despite being spotted out with Al several times in the last month.

We don't yet know the sex of the baby ... but it'll be Al's 4th kid.

Al's got twins with actress Beverly D'Angelo -- 22-year-old Olivia and Anton -- and 33-year-old Julia with Jan Tarrant.

Baby Pacino will mark Noor's first. As we reported, she's dated other seasoned celebs, including Mick Jagger and billionaire Nicolas Berggruen, but no kiddin' with them.

Offset Swings Into 'Spider-Man' Premiere ... Lookin' 'Bad' with 3 Sons!!!

Offset is back on dad duty for a big movie premiere -- which is starting to become a cool family tradition -- only this time, he was inspired by MJ's style.

The rapper brought his 3 sons to the 'Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse' premiere Tuesday night in L.A. -- and from 20-month-old, Wave, whom he had with Cardi B, to 13-year-old Jordan Cephus and 8-year-old Kody Cephus, from previous relationships .. the whole fam was decked out in red and black.

Offset set the tone with a Michael Jackson-inspired outfit -- a red and black leather getup straight out of the King of Pop's "Bad" era -- and the kids were also on theme, and everyone had their shades on too. Quite the family portrait!

Remember, Offset did exactly this earlier this month, when he brought his 2 young daughters to the premiere of the live-action 'Little Mermaid' -- the girls were dressed like princesses and he was a prince.

It's funny, Offset's jacket that night was also giving MJ vibes.

Anyhoo ... the guy definitely knows what gets his kids excited. Well done, Papa Bear!

Angela popped out Tuesday at the "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" premiere in Westwood, near the UCLA campus ... and she rocked a casual, college look.

AW wore a red varsity jacket, with a crop top and jeans as she made her entrance. She traded her go-to high heels for Nike Air Jordan 11 sneakers. As for accessories ... strictly minimal.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

The former stripper/reality TV and OnlyFans star has recently transformed herself, and the reviews are universal -- super positive.

She was on "TMZ Live" recently and said she made the change for her kids, adding her focus is now motherhood, music and new business ventures.

Clearly, Angela seems to be more than happy with the switch up ... good on her!

Ezra Miller 'The Flash' Future Sequel Is Mine!!! ... Film Director Says

Even though Ezra Miller is a magnet for controversy and has had numerous brushes with the law ... the actor will definitely keep their future gig as "The Flash," at least according to the film's director.

"Flash" director Andy Muschietti appeared on an upcoming episode of "The Discourse" podcast and made no bones about wanting Miller to reprise the role of the superhero in the event there's a sequel.

Muschietti said, "If [a sequel] happens, yes [Miller would be Flash]." I don’t think there’s anyone that can play that character as well as they did." Miller, who identifies as non-binary uses they/them pronouns.

Muschietti continued, "The other depictions of the character are great, but this particular vision of the character, they just excelled in doing it."

The director also pointed out Miller plays two different versions of Barry in the newest installment of the movie to be released June 16, so "it feels like a character that was made for them." Miller's character goes by the name Barry Allen as part of an all-star cast that includes 2 Batmans played by Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck.

THE CHAOTIC ARREST
MEGA

Despite the actor's success, Miller has repeatedly been arrested in Hawaii and Vermont for assault, disorderly conduct, petit larceny, burglary and harassment.

All the cases occurred in 2022, but none of them resulted in Miller getting sentenced to jail.

In the burglary/larceny case, Miller pled guilty to a reduced charge of unlawful trespass as part of a deal with prosecutors and received one-year probation.

Bam Margera Desperate To See Son Phoenix ... Amid Drama With Nikki

Bam Margera is desperate to develop a relationship with his son, Phoenix ... but the former "Jackass" star says his estranged wife isn't having it.

Bam's attorney, Peter W. Thompson, tells TMZ ... Nikki is not allowing Bam to talk to his son through FaceTime or phone calls, and she's completely cut off all contact.

We're told the last communication between Bam and Phoenix was over 2 months ago, on March 29, when Bam came to California to visit his son.

Of course, that was the day we got video of Bam screaming at Nikki in a Burbank restaurant where she was having lunch with Phoenix.

RANTING AND RAVING
TMZ.com

Since then, we're told Bam hasn't seen Phoenix or been able to speak with him.

And, get this ... we're told Bam has Christmas gifts for Phoenix that he's been unable to give him. Despite Bam's attempts to get the gifts to his son -- 5 months after the holiday -- we're told Nikki won't accept them, even rebuffing Bam's offer to have other people drop off Phoenix's gifts.

As we first reported ... Nikki filed for legal separation back in February, citing irreconcilable differences and asking for legal and physical custody over Phoenix, as well as spousal support.

Bam's attorney says at one point they were trying to set up a schedule where Bam and Phoenix would FaceTime every other day, but it never materialized.

The way Bam's camp sees things ... it's safe for him to interact with Phoenix on FaceTime or on the phone, and it's "completely unreasonable" for Nikki to not answer the calls.

Bam's voiced his complaints with a judge but was shut down ... and Nikki shaded him in her legal response, claiming he can see their son as long as he's in California and not under the influence.

Meanwhile, we're told Bam's still supporting Nikki financially ... paying for the car she's driving and footing the bill for her home.

Bottom line for Bam ... he's willing to work with Nikki and her attorney because he wants to see his kid, even if it's just virtually.

Nikki's attorney, David Glass, tells TMZ ... "From Nikki's perspective, Bam's continued instability is what makes connecting him and Phoenix difficult. But, Nikki remains open to regular FaceTime communication, so long as Bam is not impaired during the calls, and so long as Bam does not denigrate Nikki during the calls."

Tom Brady, Leo DiCaprio Rubbin' Elbows On Yacht In Sardinia

Two of Gisele Bündchen's exes walk onto a yacht ...

There's no joke here, but that's exactly what went down in Sardinia over the weekend ... with Tom Brady and Leonardo DiCaprio hanging out on a big boat together.

As we previously reported, the "Departed" actor has been yacht hopping for about a week following the Cannes Film Festival ... most recently ditching his shirt to hang with his guy friends out on the waters near the Italian island.

As it turns out, the NFL legend was also part of the fun at sea ... with TB12 and Leo appearing in a big group photo posted on Miami hospitality entrepreneur David Grutman's Instagram stories.

The occasion appeared to be a birthday bash for their friend, Bert Hedaya ... and judging by the picture, it didn't appear to be awkward at all for the two -- granted, they were about 25 feet away from each other.

Remember, Leo dated Gisele for more than 5 years in the early 2000s before she tied the knot with Brady ... a marriage that lasted over a decade before ending in divorce this past October.

TB12 and Leo are both seemingly keeping their options open for now ... and apparently, they're enjoying the hell outta their free time.

Grutman also posted a solo shot alongside Brady ... with the quarterback joking he was "ready for my hospitality internship."

Brady might have his hands tied with his new Las Vegas Raiders and Aces ownership AND prepping for his new Fox TV gig ... but hey, live it up, champ!!
