Evan Ellingson -- a one-time child star who seemed to be on a trajectory toward major fame -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

The former actor, who hasn't been on camera for over a decade, passed away Sunday at his home in San Bernardino County -- where his body was discovered in his bedroom ... this according to the coroner's office there. The exact circumstances of his death are unclear at this point ... but officials tell us that, for now, there appears to be no foul play involved.

Evan's father, Michael, was able to give us a bit more detail -- telling TMZ Evan was found at a sober-living home. We're told he'd struggled with drugs in the past, but was doing better of late -- and that his sudden passing comes as a complete shock to the family.

Ellingson is perhaps best remembered starring opposite Cameron Diaz -- playing her teenage son -- in 2009's "My Sister's Keeper." He was also well-known for his recurring role as Kyle Harmon on "CSI: Miami" ... in which he starred for a total of 18 episodes over 3 years.

He'd actually gotten his start in showbiz at the age of 13 with a small role in a TV movie as well as a guest appearance on 'General Hospital.' From there, EE went on to act in shows like 'Titus,' 'That Was Then,' 'Mad TV,' 'Complete Savages,' 'Bones,' '24' and others.

Ellingson also acted in a handful of films, such as 'Walk the Talk,' 'Letters from Iwo Jima,' 'The Bondage,' 'Confession,' 'Rules of the Game,' 'Time Changer,' 'The Gristle' and more.

Like we said, Ellingson appears to have stepped away from Hollywood ... not having any acting credits post-2010. Still, he left his mark on TV/film -- and he died quite young.

Ellingson was only 35.

Evan Ellingson, una estrella infantil que parecía estar en una trayectoria hacia la fama, ha muerto. TMZ ha indagado.

El ex actor —que no ha estado en cámara durante más de una década— falleció el domingo en su casa en el condado de San Bernardino, donde su cuerpo fue descubierto en su dormitorio. Esto de acuerdo con la oficina del forense. Las circunstancias exactas de su muerte no están claras en este momento, pero los funcionarios nos dicen que, por ahora, no hay señales de actos maliciosos relacionados con su muerte.

El padre de Evan, Michael, fue capaz de darnos algunos detalles. Nos comentó que Evan fue encontrado en un centro de rehabilitación. Había luchado contra las drogas en el pasado y le estaba yendo mejor últimamente así que su repentino fallecimiento es un shock para la familia.

Ellingson, es recordado por protagonizar "My Sister's Keeper" junto a Cameron Diaz en 2009, interpretando a su hijo adolescente. También era conocido por su papel recurrente como Kyle Harmon en "CSI: Miami" en la que protagonizó un total de 18 episodios durante tres años.

Se inició en el mundo del espectáculo a los 13 años con un pequeño papel en una película para televisión y una aparición como invitado en "Hospital General". A partir de ahí, pasó a actuar en series como "Titus", "That Was Then", "Mad TV", "Salvajes por completo", "Bones" y "24", entre otras.

Ellingson también actuó en un puñado de películas, como "Walk the Talk", "Letters from Iwo Jima", "The Bondage", "Confession", "Rules of the Game", "Time Changer" y "The Gristle", entre otras.

Como hemos dicho, Ellingson parece haberse alejado de Hollywood, ya que no tiene ningún crédito como actor después de 2010. Aun así, dejó su huella en la televisión y el cine y laentablemente murió demasiado joven.

Ellingson solo tenía 35 años.

A Hollywood stuntman, whose film credits include "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Endgame," was killed along with three of his children in a car crash in Georgia.

Taraja Ramsess was driving his 5 kids in a pickup truck on the Interstate in DeKalb County Halloween night when he turned onto an exit ramp and collided with a tractor-trailer, according to WSB-TV News. The cause of the accident is under investigation.

Ramsess was declared dead at the scene with two of his daughters -- a 13-year-old and the other just 8 weeks old.

His mom, Akili, confirmed their deaths on Instagram and later revealed in a second IG post his 10-year-old son -- who was on life support -- had also passed away.

Akili wrote that Ramsess' two other daughters survived, but the 3-year-old was hospitalized with minor injuries.

Akili also honored Ramsess, talking about his love for his children, martial arts, motorcycles and especially filmmaking.

In Hollywood, Ramsess was known for his roles in "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Endgame," but his stunt work was also featured in "Avengers: Infinity War," "The Suicide Squad" and "Creed III," as well as other movies.

He also worked in the art department on "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire," "The Walking Dead" and "The Vampire Diaries."

Ramsess was 41.

Jon Voight está en las antípodas de su hija Angelina Jolie en el conflicto palestino/israelí y ha explicado con vehemencia por qué cree que está equivocada.

El actor publicó un largo video en Instagram, en el que quema su propia carne y sangre por su postura mayoritariamente pro/Palestina. Recordemos que Angelina pidió un alto el fuego y condenó la campaña de bombardeos de Israel en Gaza.

Jon dice que Israel está en medio de la guerra y que su represalia, por naturaleza, será fea. Sin embargo, el veterano actor dice que el ataque está justificado debido al ataque terrorista del 7 de octubre llevado a cabo por Hamás.

En palabras de Jon, está decepcionado con Angie por "no entender el honor de Dios, las verdades de Dios", y califica la respuesta de Israel en Gaza de "justicia para los hijos de Dios en Tierra Santa". También dice que este conflicto no puede ser civil ahora... ha ido demasiado lejos para eso.

Jon también señala una táctica que, según muchos estrategas militares, Hamás utiliza para mezclarse entre palestinos inocentes: utilizar escudos humanos para defenderse.

En resumen, Jon es muy pro/israelí y no está ni cerca de pedir la paz como Angelina. Sin embargo, no creemos que su hija vaya a decir algo, puesto que es sabido que no son cercanos.

Mientras tanto, los cuerpos en Gaza suman más de 9.000. Cada vez más políticos estadounidenses están pidiendo una "pausa", incluyendo el presidente Joe Biden y su personal.

Jon Voight is on opposite ends of the Israel-Palestine conflict from his daughter, Angelina Jolie ... and he explained in impassioned terms why he thinks she's wrong.

The actor posted a lengthy video on Instagram, in which he torches his own flesh and blood for her mostly pro-Palestine stance ... where she called for a ceasefire, and condemned Israel's bombing campaign in Gaza.

JV says Israel is in the midst of war, and that their retaliation, by nature, will be ugly ... which he believes is justified due to the Oct. 7 terrorist attack carried out by Hamas.

As Jon puts it ... he says he's disappointed with Angie for "having no understanding of God's honor, God's truths" -- going on to call Israel's response in Gaza "justice for God's children in the Holy land. He also says this conflict can't be civil now ... it's gone too far for that.

Jon also points out a tactic that many military strategists say Hamas uses in burrowing itself among innocent Palestinians -- namely, using human shields to defend themselves.

Bottom line ... Jon is very much pro-Israel, and is nowhere near calling for peace like AJ. FWIW, JV's words here are probably falling on deaf ears ... he's estranged from his kid.

As far as his point, though ... the bodies are piling up in Gaza -- well over 9,000 now by many estimations -- and Israel is facing increased scrutiny for their cause. More and more U.S. politicians are calling for a "pause" ... including President Joe Biden and his staff.

Antes de que esta dulce niña que hace cerámica se convirtiera en una estrella de Broadway y en una actriz de la pantalla, solo se arremangaba y ponía las manos en la arcilla, creciendo en Torrance, California, y yendo a la Universidad de Nueva York.

A partir de 2013, apareció regularmente en "Girl Code" de MTV e hizo su primer papel recurrente en televisión en "The Path" de Hulu, y no es ajena al escenario de Broadway, protagonizando "Be More Chill" y "SpongeBob Squarepants: El musical de Broadway".

¿Necesitas una pista más? Su primer papel fue en 2022 junto a Michelle Yeoh.

Before this sweet girl making pottery turned into a Broadway star and an on-screen actress, she was just rollin' up her sleeves and getting her hands on some clay, growing up in Torrance, California and heading off to New York University!

Starting in 2013, she appeared as a regular on MTV's "Girl Code" and made her first recurring TV role in Hulu's "The Path", and she's no stranger to the Broadway stage -- starring in "Be More Chill" and "SpongeBob Squarepants: The Broadway Musical."

Need one more clue? Her breakout role came in 2022 alongside Michelle Yeoh.

Rachel Zegler was front and center with her castmates for the premiere of her big new 'Hunger Games' movie ... but don't worry, she ain't crossing the SAG picket line here.

The actress -- who plays the lead in 'The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes,' a prequel to the movies Jennifer Lawrence was in years ago -- got dressed to impress Sunday out in Berlin ... where she and the other stars hit the red carpet for their flick's world debut.

Everyone looked great, of course, and RZ even seemed to be channeling an outfit J-Law's character, Katniss, wore in the flicks ... so she's paying homage to heroines before her.

The other actors on the carpet with her included ... Hunter Schafer, Tom Blythe and Josh Andres Rivera. No sign of the other stars -- including Peter Dinklage and Viola Davis -- so it seems they kept this outing relatively small and tight ... with just the core young group.

Now, the one thing that comes to mind here when you see this -- namely, actors attending a premiere, which hasn't happened for a good while now -- is ... what about the SAG strike???

Of course, that's still going on at the moment ... with the guild now passing its 114th day of picketing as they continue to try and hammer out a deal with the AMPTP ... which, BTW, sent SAG-AFTRA its "best and final" offer Saturday, something the union's reviewing now.

As for RZ and co. ... they're in compliance, because their 'Hunger Games' flick was granted a waiver by SAG a couple weeks ago. The reason they were eligible for an exception ... apparently, Lionsgate (the studio distributing this) isn't part of the AMPTP -- which is kinda shocking, seeing how this movie (and all the others) are huge blockbuster-level projects.

In any case ... it's no harm, no foul. Zegler and friends are free to do press to plug 'Songbirds and Snakes' -- although it remains to be seen if that'll get asses in seats.

1:54 PM PT -- TMZ has obtained some video of Katy Perry's last residency show in Vegas -- and it looks like the stars on hand, including Celine Dion, were busting a move and having a blast.

Check out this footage that shows the celebs who attended boogying down throughout the concert -- you can see Celine Dion bobbing to the music as Katy did her thing ... plus, Cameron Diaz and her husband, Benji Madden, were right behind getting their groove as well. So was Zoe Saldana, BTW -- so yeah, it was a packed house, and star-studded to the max.

As for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry ... we're told they were also seated in the VIP section, but they were in a group of seats that were adjacent to Celine and co., so not really with them.

Their night seemed to be a little more low-key ... with Meghan chatting up a woman she was sitting next to, and PH just kinda sitting there minding his own biz, somewhat aloof. Even when they were seen standing up with the others ... the couple just sorta stood there. 😅

Anyhoo, one other notable sighting ... Katy's fiancé, Orlando Bloom, was obviously in the crowd and he had their daughter perched up on his shoulders and Katy explained how much their child means to her. He also danced with their little girl, Daisy Dove, while mom was onstage.

After the show, Katy and Orlando broke off from everyone else and hit up XS Nightclub at the Wynn and celebrated her last bow with The Chainsmokers. Cool way to go out, no doubt.

Celine Dion is definitely on the comeback trail ... she made her second public appearance in a week at Katy Perry's concert last evening -- and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were also in the crowd!!!

Celine and her twin sons, Eddy and Nelson, dropped in to catch Katy's performance at Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas Saturday night -- and she looked absolutely spectacular.

This is great news given her health struggles. As you know, Celine has long been dealing with a debilitating disease called stiff-person syndrome, which causes painful muscle spasms.

On Monday, the iconic singer was seen out for the first time in 3 ½ years, showing up at the T-Mobile Arena for a hockey game between the Vegas Golden Knights and her hometown Montreal Canadiens.

As for Harry and Meghan, the couple arrived apart from Celine and her sons to Katy's concert Saturday. They quickly became the center of attention as fans shot cell phone videos of them.

At one point, Harry and Meghan were pictured near Celine, but it's not clear if they ever got to talk to one another.

Interesting photo, nonetheless. And, it seems like everyone had a terrific time, including Katy’s fiancée, actor Orlando Bloom, and their daughter Daisy Dove.

There was a big shindig at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art this weekend -- and a crap ton of A-listers showed up ... doing their best impression of a tourist along the way.

The event was a LACMA Art and Film Gala -- sponsored by Gucci -- that was hosted by a trustee of the institution, Eva Chow, and one Leo DiCaprio ... where everyone was coming together Saturday to honor artist Judy Baca, and pat themselves on the back, etc.

In other words, just another reason to get dressed up and step out in La La Land -- and the stars who attended certainly didn't disappoint ... nor did they miss the chance to pose at one of the most iconic IG-friendly spots in L.A., which is normally crawling with sightseers.

Of course, we're talking about the Urban Light display right outside of LACMA's front doors -- and right next to the tar pits there too, which stink to high heaven. A lot going on there!

Anyway, take a peek at who swung by to be fancy and flashy in front of the famed forest of street lamps that folks like to run through and snap pics in front of ... just about everyone got the opportunity to act like an out-of-towner, and they all certainly took it.

Kim K struck a pose, as did Ben and Jen ... and let's not forget Paris Hilton, Salma Hayek, Heidi Klum and Lenny Kravitz, just to name a few. BTW, Lupita N'yongo and Jodie Turner-Smith were both also there ... which is a little awkward considering the Joshua Jackson connection they share lately. Unclear if they crossed paths, but each came off as chill.

At any rate ... looked like a fun night out, and it also seems they booted all the normies. 😅

Jacob Elordi's turn as Elvis Presley in Sofia Coppola's new movie is getting a lot of head-turns -- and that's probably 'cause he method-acted his way into the role ... with pig skin.

The Aussie actor recently revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that he immersed himself into the character in a very unique way ... namely, by stuffing his face with bacon -- and a helluva lot of it, too.

During the roundtable, Coppola noted that Elordi ate a lot of pork strips on set -- which JE confirmed ... pointing out he would apparently down about a pound a day while working.

Seems this technique stemmed from something Priscilla Presley herself told them about her late ex-hubby and his grub of choice. Now, as for how all this bacon gorging affected Jake ... he says he got quite heavy, although he's fortunate enough that it never really showed.

It's interesting ... Elordi's approach to method acting (basically, clogging his arteries just like Elvis, it seems) significantly differs from Austin Butler's -- who continued using his Elvis voice well after cameras had stopped rolling.

AB's commitment to the schtick was praised by some ... and ridiculed by others.

Funny enough ... it sounds like Elordi's take might actually be more accurate to EP himself -- at least according to Coppola, who (in this same EW sit-down) says Priscilla told her after one of the screenings that JE's voice sounded just like Elvis did once upon a time.

The flick, 'Priscilla,' is getting rave reviews on all fronts ... but it's not without its controversy. Whereas the Butler film was a glossy Wikipedia slide through the King's life -- this project focuses more on Elvis and Priscilla's relationship ... and how they came together.

It's a little messy -- Elvis courted Priscilla while she was a teen, and there's been a lot of side-eye in 2023 over it -- something the late Lisa Marie Presley protested before she died.

In any case, the film is out in theaters now ... and there's been a lot of commentary.

Elvis' estate doesn't like Coppola's characterization of the icon either, FWIW -- but Priscilla herself has been on board from day one. This whole thing is literally based on her memoir.

El papel de Jacob Elordi como Elvis Presley en la nueva película de Sofia Coppola está dando mucho que hablar y eso es probablemente porque se metió muchísimo en el papel...

El actor británico reveló recientemente en una entrevista con Entertainment Weekly que se sumergió en el personaje de una manera muy singular, a saber, comiendo una gran cantidad de tocino.

Durante la mesa redonda, Coppola señaló que Elordi comía un montón de tiras de carne de cerdo en el set, lo que el actor confirmó señalando que al parecer bajaba alrededor de una libra al día mientras trabajaba.

Parece que esta técnica surgió de algo que la propia Priscilla Presley les contó sobre su difunto exmarido y su comida preferida. Ahora, en cuanto a cómo todo este tocino atiborrándose afectó a Jake, dice que se puso bastante pesado, aunque tiene la suerte de que nunca se notó realmente.

Es interesante, pues el enfoque de Elordi para interpretar al cantante (básicamente, la obstrucción de sus arterias, al igual que como lo hizo Elvis, al parecer) difiere significativamente de la estrategia de Austin Butler, que continuó utilizando su voz de Elvis mucho después de que las cámaras dejaran de rodar.

El compromiso de Austin Butler con su actuación fue elogiado por algunos y ridiculizado por otros.

Curiosamente, parece que la interpretación de Elordi podría ser más precisa que la del propio Elvis Presley, al menos según Coppola, quien (en esta misma entrevista con EW) dice que Priscilla le dijo después de una de las proyecciones que la voz de Jacob sonaba igual a la de Elvis.

Priscilla está recibiendo críticas muy favorables, pero no está exenta de polémica. Mientras que la película de Butler era una brillante diapositiva de Wikipedia sobre la vida del Rey, este proyecto se centra más en la relación de Elvis y Priscilla y cómo llegaron a estar juntos.

Es un poco complicado. Elvis cortejó a Priscilla cuando ella era una adolescente y ha habido un montón de ojos sobre ello en el último tiempo, algo que la difunta Lisa Marie Presley protestó antes de morir.

En cualquier caso, la película está en los cines ahora y está recibiendo un montón de comentarios.

A los herederos de Elvis tampoco les gusta la caracterización que Coppola hace del icono, pero la propia Priscilla ha estado de acuerdo desde el primer día. Todo el filme se basa literalmente en sus memorias.

Michael J. Fox's health problems are no secret to the world -- but they're far more dire than just about anyone could've imagined ... 'cause the guy nearly became an amputee.

The beloved actor got into the full extent of his medical hurdles with Town & Country, opening up about just how banged up he's been in recent years ... and revealing that he practically had to have a part of his body surgically removed.

MJF says, "My hand got infected and then I almost lost it. It was a tsunami of misfortune."

The context here is Mike discussing all the injuries he's sustained of late -- including breaking two of his arms, a shoulder, his orbital/cheekbone and one of his hands ... which somehow led to a far more dire diagnosis, albeit ... one that thankfully never fully manifested.

On top of these dings, Michael also underwent surgery in 2018 to have a spinal tumor removed -- which was unrelated to his Parkinson's disease. While rehabbing from that, he suffered a nasty fall ... and says he broke his other arm in the process.

In this T&C interview, he continues to reflect on his mortality -- just like he did earlier this year with CBS ... where he said he didn't see himself living past 80.

Here, Mike says ... "One day I’ll run out of gas ... Certainly, if I were to pass away tomorrow, it would be premature, but it wouldn’t be unheard of. And so, no, I don’t fear that."

Los problemas de salud de Michael J. Fox no son ningún secreto para el mundo, pero son mucho más graves de lo que cualquiera podría haberse imaginado.

El querido actor abordó extensamente sus problemas médicos con Town & Country, abriéndose sobre lo golpeado que ha estado en los últimos años y revelando que casi tuvo que se amputado.

El actor dijo: "Mi mano se infectó y casi la pierdo. Fue un tsunami de desgracias".

Mike estaba hablando sobre todas las lesiones que ha sufrido en el último tiempo, incluyendo la rotura de dos de sus brazos, un hombro, su orbital/pómulo y una de sus manos, lo que de algún modo condujo a un diagnóstico mucho más grave, aunque afortunadamente nunca se manifestó plenamente.

Además de estos golpes, Michael también se sometió a una cirugía en 2018 para que le extirparan un tumor espinal, que no estaba relacionado con su enfermedad de Parkinson. Mientras se rehabilitaba de eso, sufrió una fea caída y dice que se rompió el otro brazo en el proceso.

En esta entrevista, el actor también reflexiona sobre la muerte, al igual que lo hizo a principios de este año con la CBS en donde dijo que no se veía a sí mismo viviendo más allá de los 80 años.

Aquí, Mike dice ... "Un día me voy a quedar sin gas ... Ciertamente, si yo fuera a morir mañana, sería prematuro, pero no sería inaudito. Así que no, no temo eso".

Arnold Schwarzenegger está siendo arrastrado a los tribunales por una ciclista a la que accidentalmente golpeó con su carro, y ella está apelando a sus habilidades de conducción, o más bien, a la supuesta falta de ella.

De acuerdo con la nueva demanda obtenida por TMZ, una mujer llamada Joanne Flickinger afirma que es la ciclista a quien Schwarzenegger chocó con su SUV en febrero en una concurrida calle de West Los Ángeles.

En los documentos, Flickinger afirma que Arnold es responsable. Dice que estaba conduciendo "a exceso de velocidad" y falló en mantener una "visión adecuada". También afirma que la colisión del actor le causó lesiones graves.

TMZ publicó la historia, Arnold estuvo involucrado en un accidente de tráfico con una mujer que fue trasladada a un hospital. Se nos dice que tomó la bicicleta de la señora, la ató a su SUV y la llevó a un taller de bicicletas local para su reparación.

En ese momento, nuestras fuentes policiales nos dijeron que la mujer hizo un giro a la izquierda delante de Arnold, antes de que él tuviera la oportunidad de pisar el freno. También dijeron que no iba muy rápido en absoluto.

Obviamente, la ciclista ve las cosas de manera diferente, y va tras de Arnold por dinero.
