Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, Oprah Winfrey and Ellen DeGeneres all dropped into Kevin Costner's charity event for first responders in California ... proving Hollywood Royalty is very much alive and well.

The A-List celebs descended on the "One805 Live" event at Kevin's Oceanside estate in Santa Barbara Friday to honor local cops and firefighters for their service, particularly during January's horrible storm that caused evacuations in Montecito.

Everyone was in great spirits as Kevin and Oprah delivered speeches about the first responders who proudly stood next to them onstage.

Harry and Meghan also walked out onstage as they were introduced as special guests. At one point, Harry gave an honorary award to Kevin before the Oscar-winning actor launched into his address.

Maroon 5 capped things off with their high-energy performance in front of a packed crowd.

Matthew McConaughey Alleged Stalker Shows Up at Book Event ... Restraining Order In Place Forces Her to Leave

Matthew McConaughey's decision to ensure the safety of his fans paid off -- proactively getting a restraining order against an obsessive woman -- and allowing cops to intervene when she showed up at a recent meet-and-greet event.

Sources close to the actor tell us the woman, who has been bothering him for years, showed up over the weekend where McConaughey was promoting his new book.

We're told she was greeted by police, informed of the restraining order, and escorted off the property without incident.

Our sources say McConaughey understood the potential risks the woman could pose if she showed up, and wanted to make sure his fans -- including young kids -- were safe ... so that's why he decided to go to court before the event.

The woman's allegedly been an issue for a long time -- with bizarre emails, concerning letters and frivolous lawsuits. Matthew has been able to ignore the woman, but things recently came to a head when she allegedly stated she was planning on attending Matthew's event to promote his new book.

Good guy McConaughey strikes again.

Matthew McConaughey Presunta acosadora se presenta en un evento... Orden de restricción la obligó a irse

La decisión de Matthew McConaughey de garantizar la seguridad de sus fans ha dado sus frutos, ya que proactivamente obtuvo una orden de restricción contra una mujer obsesiva que le permitió a la policía intervenir cuando se presentó en un evento reciente.

Fuentes cercanas al actor nos dicen que la mujer, que lo ha estado molestando por años, se presentó el fin de semana donde McConaughey estaba promocionando su nuevo libro.

Nos dicen que fue recibida por la policía, informada de la orden de alejamiento y escoltada afuera de la propiedad sin incidentes.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que McConaughey entendía los riesgos que podría significar que apareciera la mujer y por eso quiso asegurarse de que sus fans, que incluían a niños pequeños, estuvieran a salvo... Así que por eso decidió ir a la corte antes del evento.

La mujer supuestamente ha sido un problema durante mucho tiempo. Le ha enviado correos electrónicos extraños, cartas preocupantes y demandas frívolas. Matthew ha sido capaz de ignorarla, pero las cosas llegaron a un punto crítico recientamente cuando anunció que estaba planeando asistir al evento de Matthew para promocionar su nuevo libro.

El bueno de McConaughey atacó de nuevo.

Matthew McConaughey Consigue orden de restricción contra una acosadora ... Temía que se presentara en un evento

Matthew McConaughey ha conseguido una orden de restricción en contra de una mujer que, según el actor, lo ha acosado y acosado por más de un año. Matthew presentó la solicitud antes de que se llevara a cabo un evento, al que temía que asistiera.

De acuerdo con los documentos obtenidos por TMZ, Matthew afirma que ha sido objeto de acoso por parte de esta mujer desde abril del 2022, diciendo que le ha enviado "cartas desquiciadas, correos electrónicos y demandas frívolas diseñadas para atraerme a la corte con el fin de contactarse conmigo."

El actor dice que ella asegura que está en una relación con Matthew y que es co-autora de sus libros, pero él nunca se ha puesto en contacto con ella, y le ha pedido a su equipo de seguridad que la traten amablemente cuando hablen con ella. Pero, él quería dejar bien claro que no tiene deseos de hablar.

Matthew dice que las cosas han ido escalando y que recientemente esta mujer compró un boleto para un evento fotográfico de su libro para niños, "Just Because", en Los Ángeles, para el cual planeaba viajar "más de 300 millas" para reunirse con él.

El actor afirma que también le envió un "correo electrónico amenazador" a la librería antes del evento, confirmando su asistencia.

Claramente, el juez estuvo de acuerdo con que la mujer era un problema, por eso decidieron concederle la orden temporal.

Matthew McConaughey Gets Restraining Order Against Alleged Stalker ... Feared She'd Jeopardize Book Event

Matthew McConaughey got a restraining order against a woman he says has stalked and harassed him for over a year ... filing for protection before an in-person event he feared she'd attend.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Matthew claims he's been subjected to harassment from the woman since April 2022 -- saying she has sent him "unhinged letters, emails, and frivolous lawsuits designed to lure me into court to contact me."

He claims she thinks she's in a relationship with Matthew and co-authored his books with him ... adding he's never contacted her and told his security to treat her kindly when talking to her, but wanted them to make it clear he doesn't want to talk.

He says things have escalated, claiming she bought a ticket to a recent photo op event for his children's book, "Just Because," in L.A., and planned to travel "over 300 miles" to meet him.

Matthew claims she also sent a "threatening email" to the bookstore ahead of the event, confirming her attendance.

Clearly, the judge agreed she was an issue ... granting the temporary order for Matthew.

Young Batman In 'Batman Begins' 'Memba Him?!

American actor Gus Lewis was just 12 years old when he played the kid version of Batman -- who had a fear of bats after falling into a cave and encountering the animal -- in "Batman Begins" back in 2005.

Lewis shared the big screen with Hollywood legends like Christian Bale -- playing the adult version of Batman, Cillian Murphy as the vicious psychopath who is afraid of Batman, Scarecrow and Katie Holmes as the town of Gotham's district attorney and Batman's love interest, Rachel Dawes.

From a young age, Lewis found interest behind the camera and in more recent years, he has stepped into writing and directing roles.

Guess what he looks like now!

El joven Batman en 'Batman Begins' ¿Se acuerdan de él?

El actor estadounidense Gus Lewis tenía solo 12 años cuando interpretó la versión infantil de Batman -ese que tenía miedo a los murciélagos luego de haber caído en una cueva y tropezarse con ellos- en "Batman Begins", allá por 2005.

Lewis compartió la gran pantalla con leyendas de Hollywood como Christian Bale -en el papel de la versión adulta de Batman-, Cillian Murphy como el Espantapájaros, el despiadado psicópata que teme a Batman, Katie Holmes como la fiscal del distrito de la ciudad de Gotham y Rachel Dawes, a quien pretende Batman.

Desde muy joven, Lewis se interesó por la cámara y en los últimos años se ha dedicado a escribir y dirigir.

Adivina qué aspecto tiene ahora.

Cam'ron Reprises 'Paid In Full' Role... In Dame D.O.L.L.A.'s Vid!!!

Cam'ron is rewinding it back to 2002 when he starred in the Roc-A-Fella-produced film "Paid In Full" ... a cult classic still getting its props today thanks to Damian Lillard.

The (probably) soon-to-be ex-Blazer released his "Paid In Full" video Thursday from his new album "Don D.O.L.L.A." album featuring Cam reprising his old role.

Cam'ron played "Rico" in the popular gangsta flick ... which was a loose exposé on the life and times of Harlem drug dealers Rich Porter, Alpo Martinez and Azie "AZ" Faison.

Song costar Tobe Nwigwe also pops up in the clip, which he helped direct with Keoni Mars.

Joe Jonas Dinner With Nick ... Night Before Sophie Sues

Joe Jonas seemingly found some comfort in his brother, Nick Jonas ... grabbing dinner in the night before his estranged wife, Sophie Turner, slammed him with a lawsuit over the custody of their kids.

Two-thirds of the Jo Bros were at The Waverly Inn in NYC Wednesday night -- and Joe seemed to be deep in conversation with Nick as they dined.

BTW, this spot is a couple blocks away from where Sophie was hanging out with Joe's other ex, Taylor Swift, the night before.

She was also spotted at The St. Regis Hotel in New York on Thursday, hours after suing her estranged husband ... so they're still not that far from each other.

As we reported, Sophie claims Joe is illegally keeping their 2 kids in New York and wants them brought back to England, as laid out in an explosive lawsuit she filed Thursday morning.

Sophie says she agreed -- "with some hesitation" -- to let the kids stay with him while he was touring in the U.S. because she was working on her time-consuming series overseas, but that agreement was supposed to last until September ... when she would "collect the children and return home to England."

She even cited an international treaty that deals with child abduction across country lines ... so she's keeping pretty serious about getting her kids back to her.

In response, Joe's rep issued a lengthy statement ... saying Sophie's wishes would violate an order that restricts both parents from relocating the children," also reiterating that he's open to sharing custody with her if she moves to England full-time.

Do you think the Sophie Turner/Joe Jonas divorce war will get uglier? Vote below.

Joe Jonas Estuvo cenando con Nick ... La noche antes de la demanda de Sophie

Joe Jonas parece haber encontrado consuelo en su hermano, Nick Jonas, con quien lo vimos cenando la noche antes de que su esposa, Sophie Turner, lo demandara por la custodia de sus hijos.

Dos tercios de los Jo Bros estaban en The Waverly Inn en Nueva York el miércoles por la noche, y Joe parecía estar muy concentrado en la conversación con Nick mientras cenaban.

Por cierto, este lugar se encuentra a solo un par de cuadras de donde vimos a Sophie pasando el rato con la otra ex de Joe, Taylor Swift, la noche anterior.

También fue vista en el Hotel St. Regis de Nueva York el jueves, horas después de demandar a su marido separado ... por lo que aún están bien cerquita el uno del otro.

Como informamos, Sophie asegura que Joe está manteniendo ilegalmente a sus dos hijas en Nueva York y quiere que ambas sean traídas de vuelta a Inglaterra, como se establece en una explosiva demanda presentada este jueves por la mañana.

Sophie dice que accedió "con algunas dudas" a que los niños se quedaran con él mientras estaba de gira en EE.UU., porque estaba trabajando en su serie en el extranjero. Pero se suponía que ese acuerdo solo duraría hasta septiembre, cuando ella "recogería a los niños y volvería a casa a Inglaterra."

Ella incluso citó un tratado internacional que se ocupa de la sustracción de menores entre países, por lo que se está tomando muy en serio que sus hijas vuelvan con ella.

En respuesta, el representante de Joe emitió un extenso comunicado en donde dice que los deseos de Sophie violarían una orden que restringe a ambos padres la reubicación de los niños ", reiterando también que está abierto a compartir la custodia con ella si ella se muda a Inglaterra a tiempo completo.

John Cusack Blasts Democratic Elites ... They're All 'Full of S***'

John Cusack -- someone who's been transparent about his liberal views for years -- is coming after Democrats ... 'cause in his eyes, they have a total lack of morals.

The often-left-wing actor didn't hold back on social media earlier this week, saying those towards the top of the Democratic Party are "full of s***." He goes on to blame them for people switching to Donald Trump as a consideration for the presidency.

It's a long rant that John goes on -- he even takes shots at former Prez Barack Obama's iconic "Hope and Change" slogan ... something John's calling, "another branded hustle."

John's heated talk came in response to an article that claimed Dems are considering doing away with federal wealth taxes ... writing, "This kind of staggering amoral bulls*** is one of the main reason[s] (yes there are others) Trump's demagoguery works on people."

He sarcastically adds, "Don’t worry fellas - the democrats will save the .000000001 % from paying tax" ... saying, "To even attempt this … Unbelievable."

For those unaware, John's often spoken out about things like politics, activism, and wealth distribution ... but he usually sees things from a Democratic perspective.

Sounds like John's fed up with the left, too ... at least, for the time being.

Hollywood Celebs History of Helping Homeless

Jennifer Garner moved hearts this week after trying to give a homeless man the shoes off her feet -- unquestionably a sweet move, and one we've actually seen several celebs make during L.A.'s unprecedented crisis.

LENDING A HAND
X17online.com

Lending a hand to people in need has actually been an ongoing tradition in Hollywood for years ... as we've seen some very famous faces recently demonstrate their generosity.

Take, for example, Denzel Washington ... who, just a few years ago, went out of his way to help an unsheltered man on the streets of L.A., this at the height of the pandemic in May 2020.

This gentleman was apparently having an episode in West Hollywood, and Denzel came over to comfort him as police eventually arrived and got a handle on things. Even while officers were talking to the man, DW stuck around and provided him comfort. It was quite something.

A year prior, Lil Pump was doing his own food giveaway just in time for the holidays ... handing out tons of corndogs to folks who were on the street and hungry.

BTW ... Pump was doing this on Skid Row in DTLA -- one of the most heavily populated areas for unhoused folks in the city.

Jeremy Renner, too, has proven to have a charitable spirit ... he once took his daughter with him to hand out jackets, blankets and food to homeless people in Reno, NV.

At the time, JR did this right around Thanksgiving -- setting a good example for his kid.

Speaking of Turkey Day ... it's become a little bit of a give-back pastime over the years for celebs to team up with the L.A. Mission to dish out hot meals to the needy. There've been several stars who've partaken in this ... Danny Trejo, Emmy Rossum, Kevin Hart and Lisa Rinna, just to name a few.

There's even been some community service from controversial A-listers, like Kanye West.

Before he was persona non grata in Hollywood -- as a result of antisemitic remarks he spewed last year -- the dude was prominently kind to people less fortunate.

There's that memorable time he was handing out cash and Yeezys to one homeless man, in particular, in his own home city of Chicago -- back before he and Adidas split up -- and you could tell it meant a lot to this fella that he was gifting them for free.

Point is ... Hollywood often gives back, publicly -- and, that doesn't even account for noble deeds that go down off-camera and behind closed doors. Keep up the good work, folks.

Celebridades de Hollywood Y su historial ayudando a las personas en la calle

Jennifer Garner conmovió algunos corazones esta semana después de intentar quitarle los zapatos a un hombre sin hogar, y aunque fue un acto muy dulce de su parte, está lejos de ser la única estrella dispuesta a ayudar a los demás.

Darle una mano a las personas que más lo necesitan es en realidad una tradición en Hollywood desde hace algunos años. Solo recientemente, hemos visto algunas de las caras más famosas del negocio haciendo demostraciones notables de generosidad.

Tomemos, por ejemplo, a Denzel Washington que hace apenas unos años se desvió de su camino para ayudar a un hombre que estaba en las calles de Los Ángeles. Esto, en medio del apogeo de la pandemia en mayo de 2020.

Al parecer, este señor estaba teniendo un episodio en West Hollywood y Denzel se acercó a consolarlo mientras la policía llegaba a controlar la situación. Incluso, mientras los agentes hablaban con el hombre, el actor se quedó cerca a su lado y le proporcionó consuelo. Fue todo un acontecimiento.

Un año antes, Lil Pump hizo su propia donación de alimentos, justo a tiempo para las fiestas, compartiendo una tonelada de corndogs a la gente que estaba en la calle.

Por cierto, Bomba estaba haciendo esto en Skid Row en Downtown Los Angeles, una de las zonas con mayor población de personas sin hogar en la ciudad.

Jeremy Renner, también ha demostrado tener un espíritu caritativo. Una vez llevó a su hija con él para repartir chaquetas, mantas y alimentos a las personas en Reno, NV.

Hablando del Día de Acción de Gracias, esta fecha se ha convertido un poco en pasatiempo de retribución para las celebridades en los últimos años, quienes se han unido para repartir comidas calientes a los necesitados. Han sido varias las estrellas que han participado en estas iniciativas: desde Danny Trejo, Emmy Rossum, Kevin Hart a Lisa Rinna, sólo para nombrar unos pocos.

Incluso ha habido polémicas entre los A-listers, como es el caso de Kanye West.

Antes de que fuera persona non grata en Hollywood, como resultado de los comentarios antisemitas que vomitó el año pasado, el tipo era en realidad bastante amable con las personas que eran menos afortunadas.

Timothée Chalamet is hinting things are going well with Kylie Jenner ... but he's not ready to talk about it, only flashing a smile when asked about his new boo.

Ciertamente no han estado tratado de ocultarlo desde el día del concierto, sentados juntos en la cancha en el US Open la semana pasada con un montón de otras celebridades en el edificio.

Rep. Lauren Boebert Groping Theater Date's Bar Slammed ... Comments Disabled After 1-Star Reviews

Rep. Lauren Boebert's handsy night at the theater has a Colorado bar getting flooded with a bunch of negative reviews ... all because the guy she was foolin' around with owns it.

Lauren's date that night, Quinn Gallagher, owns Hooch Craft Cocktail Bar in Aspen, and folks online have been taking to Yelp to express their distaste -- but they're more enraged about his night out as opposed to the actual biz.

One Yelper said Quinn is "disruptive & disrespectful in public places," an obvious reference to last week's caught-on-camera moment while he and Boebert were enjoying "Beetlejuice" the musical ... and each other.

Another wrote, "This place sucks unless you admire an owner that dates Boobert [sic] and causes a ruckus at a theater play" -- while someone else added, "The owner is doinking 36 year old Grandma Boebert, who supported an insurrection against America!"

The chatter on Yelp has gotten so bad, the platform had to temporarily disable reviews -- something the site often does when it sees a rapid uptick in folks review-bombing a business.

It didn't stop there, though -- Hooch's Facebook page was met with the same negative energy ... and its Instagram account has also turned off comments.

As we reported, we got Lauren in D.C., and she told us Quinn is a great guy, but a second date isn't in their future ... something she openly attributes to their political differences.

Don't forget, Hooch hosted a drag performance in January as part of the city's annual Pride Week, and Lauren's railed on drag performers in the past. Yet another sign they won't be getting wild at "Wicked" anytime soon.
