A "Barbie" reunion is news, given the insane success of the flick, and it happened in West Hollywood Saturday with the stars front and center.

Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, director Greta Gerwig and others showed up at the Pendry Hotel to celebrate the release of the screenplay book.

Lots of other stars hit up the event, including America Ferrera, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Finneas O'Connell, Mark Ronson, Jon Batiste and former Playboy centerfold/Hefner GF Barbi Benton.

As you know, the movie blasted through the $1 billion mark internationally and continues its roll as an inspiration to women around the world.

Some of Hollywood's biggest names took over an L.A. street -- literally! -- for the Balenciaga fall 2024 show -- but it was Cardi B who stole the spotlight with her sexy catwalk debut.

Wrapped in a blue fur coat, the hip hop icon hit the runway for the first time as the likes of Kim Kardashian, Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek looked on from their seats lining the city block, which was cordoned off by the police for Saturday's fashion event.

Kim appeared as stunning as ever in her form-fitting lace ensemble, while Nicole and Salma took a more conservative approach, wearing long, chic black dresses.

Kim's sister, Kendall, Teyana Taylor, Eva Longoria, Tracee Ellis Ross, Zooey Deschanel, Lisa Rinna and her daughters Amelia and Delilah were also in the crowd, looking amazing in their stylish outfits.

Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz also showed up, but they went all caszh, sporting jeans and sweatshirts. Sexyy Red was there as well, posing for a photo with Kim at one point.

Algunos de los nombres más importantes de Hollywood se apoderaron de una calle de Los Ángeles (literalmente), para el show de Balenciaga otoño 2024. Pero fue Cardi B quien robó el centro de atención con su sexy debut en la pasarela.

Envuelta en un abrigo de piel azul, el icono del hip hop llegó a la pasarela por primera vez el sábado. Se pudo ver a otras mujeres importantes de la talla de Kim Kardashian, Nicole Kidman y Salma Hayek. La calle fue acordonada por la policía solo para el evento de moda.

Kim apareció tan impresionante como siempre en su conjunto de encaje ajustado, mientras que Nicole y Salma tomaron un enfoque más conservador, con vestidos negros largos y elegantes.

La hermana de Kim, Kendall, junto a Teyana Taylor, Eva Longoria, Tracee Ellis Ross, Zooey Deschanel, Lisa Rinna y sus hijas Amelia y Delilah. Todas ellas lucieron increíbles en sus elegantes atuendos.

Lil Wayne y 2 Chainz también aparecieron, pero iban de lo más casual, luciendo vaqueros y sudaderas. Sexyy Red también estuvo allí, posando para una foto con Kim por un momento.

There's a 100% chance Amanda Seyfried has (already) been makin' it rain for years!

Going back to North Shore High School ... here is a 18-year-old version of the stunning star looking oh so "fetch" -- playing "Mean Girls" Karen Smith -- in her Santa talent show outfit back in 2004 (left).

And, 19 years later, Mrs. Seyfried recently dazzled and glowed on stage at a skincare event in Shanghai, China (right). Today, this "Jingle Bell Rock" queen is celebrating her 38th birthday, and she's never shined brighter!

"What a bright time, it's the right time!"

The question is ...

¡Hay un 100% de posibilidades de que Amanda Seyfried (ya) haya estado haciendo un montón de dinero desde años!

Volviendo a North Shore High School, aquí tenemos una versión de 18 años de la actriz interpretando a Karen Smith en "Mean Girls". Luce con su traje de Santa para el concurso de talentos de 2004 (izquierda).

Y, 19 años después, la Sra. Seyfried deslumbró y brilló en el escenario de un evento sobre el cuidado de la piel en Shanghai, China (derecha). Hoy, esta reina del "Jingle Bell Rock" celebra su cumpleaños 38, ¡y nunca ha brillado tanto!

"¡Qué tiempo tan brillante, es el momento adecuado!".

La pregunta es ...

Swizzled and stirred into this well-crafted scramble is a stunning star from London who's no amateur to acting in holiday movies. Grab your "Four Realms" and see if you can you crack open this Nutcrackin' Queen!

Born in the '80s -- and having two parents in the biz -- she got her acting itch at just 3 years old, but perhaps her breakout year wasn't 'til 2003, starring alongside Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom. She also recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the holiday romance film "Love Actually."

Jonathan Taylor Thomas said he'd be home for Christmas, and after disappearing from public life for a long time ... he's here to make good on his promise.

The elusive ex-child star -- who vanished from the big show ten years ago -- surfaced earlier this week in SoCal ... where he was apparently out running errands near his home. As many people have noted, the dude looks almost unrecognizable compared to his childhood.

Nothing all that remarkable in the pic itself ... it's just a guy who's left Hollywood behind minding his business. But considering how big a star he once was -- it is eye-popping.

Remember, the last time we saw JTT making the rounds and signing autographs was way back in 2013, and at the time ... he was very much doing the A-lister thing, embracing cameras, questions and fans. Now, though, it's quite clear -- he wants none of that.

It was around this same time that he opened up to People Mag about why he'd decided to step away ... saying he'd been working since he was a young kid and wanted a break. He also said he didn't want fame to define him, and simply didn't care much about it.

The last time Jon was out in public was during COVID -- when he was spotted walking his dog and laying low. Now, two years later, we're seeing him again ... sans any pooch.

Will Smith is once again reflecting on the ups and downs of his life over the past couple years -- and he says he's a work in progress ... who shouldn't rely on outside validation.

The actor was onstage and addressing a crowd Saturday in Saudi Arabia for the Red Sea Film Festival -- where he talked about a number of things ... but perhaps most notably, he addressed his "many adversities" over the past couple years and how he's processed it.

Of course, he's very much alluding to his Oscars slap moment -- but he also seems to be touching on his personal life as well, especially as it pertains to his marriage with Jada Pinkett Smith. Check out what he says about the highs and lows of fame ... it's interesting.

It's a long-winded response he has here, but essentially ... it boils down to not needing the outside world to clap for him on any given thing he's doing, professionally or otherwise.

It sounds like Will has sought that as the years have gone on ... but he now says he has to teach himself to be content with himself/his mission regardless -- vowing to continue on the path of self-improvement and to not let outside influences affect him as much as they have.

On how he's reacted to setbacks, WS says he's "deeply human" ... and that is virtue is not perfected, although he hopes to sharpen it now going forward. His goal these days is to perfect his light, and to teach others about the craft of filmmaking/storytelling.

It might sound like a lot of mumbo-jumbo ... but there are kernels of wisdom in what Will's saying. From what we can glean -- he's essentially promising not to let the world get him down, or to rile him up ... regardless of what's being said, or who's saying it.

As you know, Will's been the subject of A LOT of chatter lately ... not so much for the slap these days, but for his relationship -- which was recently revealed to be less than traditional.

The other good news out of this weekend appearance is the fact he revealed 'I Am Legend 2' is a go ... and that Michael B. Jordan is going to be in it -- with a script now done.

Beyoncé está lista para ocupar el primer lugar de la taquilla este fin de semana con su nueva película "Renaissance", pero se está quedando muy por debajo de otro estreno de este año ... adivinen de quién.

La Queen B tuvo un buen comienzo este fin de semana, con una recaudación de unos 11,5 millones de dólares entre el jueves y el viernes. Las estimaciones apuntan a un total entre 20 y 24 millones de dólares hasta el domingo.

Como ya les contamos, es una cifra sólida en lo que respecta a las películas sobre conciertos -especialmente históricamente-, pero se ve opacada con lo que hizo la cinta "Eras" de Taylor Swift en el mismo periodo hace unos meses. Esta recaudó 39 millones de dólares en el mercado doméstico entre el jueves y el viernes, y terminó con una enorme recaudación de 92 millones de dólares en su fin de semana de estreno.

A la fecha, "Eras" ya ha recaudado más de $250 millones en todo el mundo.

No es por comparar a las dos, pero hay que hacerlo cuando Bey y Tay son las mayores estrellas del pop en el mundo y ambas lanzaron películas de conciertos en un corto período de tiempo. La yuxtaposición es natural y las cifras son las que son.

No hace falta decir que ambas se apoyan mutuamente y que asistieron al estreno de la otra, Bey en Los Ángeles y Tay Tay en Londres.

Y sí, posaron juntas en ambas ocasiones, por lo que no hay mala sangre en absoluto, o al menos eso parece. Sus fervientes seguidores tienden a ser un poco más competitivos a veces.

En cualquier caso, el verdadero ganador es AMC, que distribuyó en exclusiva ambas películas y está haciendo un buen dinero. En lugar de utilizar un estudio externo, lo hicieron ellos mismos y hasta ahora parece estar dando sus frutos.

Beyoncé is all set to take the top spot at the box office this weekend with her new concert film — but it’s falling way short of another this year … guess who.

The Queen Bey had a strong first-day start to the weekend with her 'Renaissance' flick — which raked in about $11.5 million between Thursday previews and Friday’s full day of showings. Projections have it pegged to make somewhere in the ballpark of $20-$24 million domestically through Sunday.

Like we said, it’s certainly a solid figure as far as concert films are concerned — especially historically — but it pales in comparison to how Taylor Swift’s 'Eras' movie did in the same window a few months ago … when it made $39 mil domestically between Thur/Fri, and ended up with a huge haul of $92 million for its total opening weekend.

Of course, at this point, the “Eras” tour film has grossed well over $250 million worldwide.

Not to compare the two, but you kind of have to when Bey and Tay are the biggest pop stars in the world … and they both released concert films within a short window. The juxtaposition is only natural, and the numbers are what they are.

It should go without saying … they most certainly support one another regardless, and attended the other’s premiere, respectively -- Bey in L.A. for Tay, and Tay in London for Bey.

And yes ... they posed together on both occasions, so it's no bad blood whatsoever -- or so it seems, anyway. Their fervent fan bases tend to be a little more competitive at times.

In any case, the real winner here is AMC — which exclusively distributed both movies and is cleaning up big time. Rather than use an outside studio partner, they did it themselves … and so far, it seems to be paying off.

Susan Sarandon is now walking back antisemitic remarks she delivered at a pro-Palestinian rally in NYC last month ... offering her apologies to anyone she offended.

The actress posted a lengthy statement on Instagram Friday night, explaining that she made a "terrible mistake" when she said Jews are “getting a taste of what it is like to be Muslim in this country, so often subjected to violence.”

Susan uttered the words in front of a large crowd at the November 17 rally in Manhattan's Union Square.

The demonstrators were protesting against the Israel-Hamas war, which broke out after the terrorist group invaded the Jewish state on October 7. Hamas militants, who rule over the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, slaughtered some 1,400 Jews, including babies.

In her IG post, Susan said she was invited to the event, but was not supposed to speak, yet ended up on stage with a mic in her hand, trying to communicate concerns about a rise in hate crimes throughout the country.

She pointed out the controversial phrasing she used falsely implied that Jews have not faced persecution. She then highlighted centuries of Jewish oppression and genocide in Europe, as well as the Tree of Life shooting in Pittsburgh, PA.

Susan went on to say she "deeply regrets diminishing the reality" and for voicing her hurtful remarks.

Susan Sarandon se está retractando de los comentarios antisemitas que hizo el mes pasado en una manifestación pro-palestina en Nueva York, ofreciendo sus disculpas a todos los que ofendió.

La actriz publicó una larga declaración en su Instagram el viernes, en donde explica que cometió un "terrible error" cuando dijo que los judíos están "saboreando lo que es ser musulmán en este país, tan a menudo sujetos a la violencia".

Susan pronunció estas palabras ante una gran multitud en la manifestación del 17 de noviembre en Union Square en Manhattan.

Los manifestantes estaban protestando contra la guerra entre Israel y Hamás, que estalló después de que el grupo terrorista invadiera el Estado judío el 7 de octubre. Los militantes de Hamás, que gobiernan a los palestinos en la Franja de Gaza, masacraron a unos 1.400 judíos, incluidos bebés.

En su mensaje de Instagram, Susan dijo que había sido invitada al acto, pero que se suponía que no iba a hablar, aunque terminó en el escenario con un micrófono en la mano, tratando de comunicar su preocupación por el aumento de los delitos motivados por el odio en todo el país.

Señaló que la polémica frase que utilizó implicaba falsamente que los judíos no habían sufrido persecución. A continuación, destacó los siglos de opresión judía y el genocidio en Europa, así como el tiroteo de Tree of Life en Pittsburgh.

Susan continuó diciendo que "lamenta profundamente haber empequeñecido la realidad" y haber expresado estos dolorosos comentarios.

Jimmy Kimmel better watch his back ... because his 13-year-old nephew, Wesley Kimmel, is banking on taking over Hollywood.

After all ... for his role as Dylan Callahan in the upcoming movie "Red One," the teen's minor contract, obtained by TMZ, unveils his whopping payday of $100K!!!

According to the contract, Wesley pocketed $95K in base pay for his work in the movie and banked an additional $5K for promoting it.

Wesley stars in "Red One" alongside big names Dwayne Johnson, Chris Evans, Kiernan Shipka, and Lucy Liu -- bagging the gig after paying his dues in Disney+ shows such as "The Mandalorian" and "WandaVision."

The movie's official release date is still under wraps ... though considering its festive, action-packed theme, it looks like it'll hit Amazon Prime in the run-up to Xmas.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is speaking out against the barbaric, unprovoked Hamas attack on Israel ... meeting with survivors and their families.

The former governor of California got emotional as he condemned the Oct. 7 slaughter of innocent civilians ... saying it's unlike anything he's ever seen and offering his support for Israel.

Arnold met with family members of Israeli hostages who are still being held by Hamas in Gaza .. presenting them with bronze eagle statues.

After the meeting, Arnold told us he's looking to spread peace ... because it's more powerful than hate and anger.

14-year-old Ella Shani was among the survivors traveling from Israel to Santa Monica to meet Arnold ... she recounted how her father was murdered on Oct. 7 by Hamas terrorists at Kibbutz Beeri, and how her 16-year-old cousin Amit Shani was kidnapped.

Ella says her cousin was hiding in a safe room in his home when Hamas set the place on fire and broke down the door. She says Amit and two other Israeli men from a neighboring house were ordered into a car, kidnapped and taken to Gaza.

As Ella spoke for about 30 minutes, Arnold teared up ... and they hugged in the end. He also showed her some of his cool movie memorabilia, like a robot head from 'Terminator.'

David Lynch, el hombre detrás de "Twin Peaks", "Mulholland Drive" y "Blue Velvet", acaba de recibir una petición de divorcio.

La esposa de David, Emily, ha presentado una demanda para poner fin a sus 14 años de matrimonio y no parece ser muy amistosa.

La esposa de la leyenda del cine, de 77 años, está pidiendo la custodia exclusiva, legal y física de su hija de 11 años. Emily quiere que David tenga derechos de visita, pero solo eso.

También está pidiendo la manutención del cónyuge y el pago de honorarios del abogado.

No hay evidencia sobre un acuerdo prenupcial, pero David ha sido una fuerza creativa importante en Hollywood durante décadas. También ha dirigido "El hombre elefante", "Corazón salvaje", "Carretera perdida" e "Inland Empire".

David Lynch, the man behind "Twin Peaks," "Mulholland Drive" and "Blue Velvet," is on the receiving end of a divorce petition.

David's wife, Emily, has filed to end their 14-year marriage, and it doesn't seem all that amicable.

The 77-year-old directing legend's wife is asking for sole legal and physical custody of their 11-year-old daughter. Emily wants David to have visitation rights, but that's it.

Emily is also asking for spousal support and attorney's fees.

There's no evidence of a prenup, but David has been a major force in Hollywood for decades. He's also directed "The Elephant Man," "Wild at Heart," "Lost Highway," and "Inland Empire."
