The Golden Globes are underway, and while you're seeing what CBS wants to show you on TV ... there's a heck of a lot going on behind the scenes, which you can see right here.

All the stars are cheesin' and posing together for very happy pics at their tables as they mingle around the ballroom at the Beverly Hilton -- and by the looks of it everybody's pretty freaking happy, with celebs grinning from ear to ear.

Some of the stars who are smiling bright on the floor ... Taylor Swift, Allison Hsu, Matty Matheson, Simu Liu, Thierry Frémaux, Harrison Ford, Lee Sung Jin and Steven Yeun -- to name a few.

More pearly whites on display came from Florence Pugh and Margot Robbie ... who were kinda twinning with their pink/red dresses.

Hailee Steinfeld kept things chic with a classic ball gown ... and Andrew Scott, Raul Domingo, Colman Domingo, Bryn Mooser and Natasha Lyonne were palling around down there too.

Safe to say, it's a feel-good night and the awards are just gonna keep coming.

It's awards season again, and that means the Golden Globes are back to kick off the campaign -- only this time it's on a new network ... but still drawing all the big names.

The stars are just now arriving at the Beverly Hilton in L.A., and they're doing their usual thing -- walking up the carpet, stopping in front of cameras and showing their fancy duds ahead of the broadcast itself. And yes, it's a who's-who of talent in 2024.

Some of the splashiest names are taking their sweet time, but there's still a crap ton of celebs who've shown up so far -- including ... Helen Mirren, Heidi Klum, Wilmer Valderama, Jo Koy (who's playing host) Jeannie Mai, Selena Gomez, Tyler James Williams and others.

Of course, other stars expected to show face ... Robert Downey Jr., Margot Robbie, Leonardo DiCaprio, Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper, Natalie Portman, Jeffrey Wright, Matt Damon, Colman Domingo, Carey Mulligan, Fantasia Barrino, Joaquin Phoenix, Nicolas Cage, Timothee Chalamet, Emily Blunt, Rosamund Pike, Jodie Foster and more.

Oh, and Taylor Swift is expected to touch down as well at some point -- like we said, anyone who's anyone is gonna be there tonight ... and they're doing it on none other than CBS.

NBC dropped the Globes after last year's show -- this following a lot of controversy about diversity (or a lack thereof) in the years prior from the Hollywood Foreign Press Association ... which, BTW, was completely disbanded and disassociated with this year's award show.

Now, the Globes are being handled by Dick Clark Productions and another holdings company -- and they're hoping to start fresh with a new look, new vibe ... but the same old celebs.

The seating arrangement's been set, so we already have a sense of who'll be where.

Barry Keoghan's new movie got a song that came out over 20 years ago back on the charts -- and it's all thanks to a neat little dance he did at the end where he's butt-ass naked.

Of course, we're talking about "Saltburn" and the end scene where the main character successfully snuffs out an uber-rich family in the UK to inherit their wealth and estate. To celebrate he does an intricate number through the house in his birthday suit ... with Sophie Ellis-Bextor's 2001 song "Murder on the Dancefloor" blaring in the background.

In the context of the film, the track makes sense ... and it's very fitting for what's going on. But it seems folks are rediscovering this oldie-but-goodie anew ... 'cause it's back at #8 on the Official UK Singles Chart -- not to mention surging on Billboard's Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales Chart, where it sits 3rd behind songs from Cher and Dua Lipa.

Elsewhere, Ellis-Bextor's memorable is charting on different trending lists, on Spotify, etc.

"Saltburn" is obviously stuck in people's minds -- because audiences left the theater and went searching for 'Murder,' driving the song across all these different platforms/streamers.

SEB's grateful for the attention -- and extra money lining her pocket, we're sure -- telling the BBC ... "It's extraordinary. It's a song I've been singing for over 20 years, I still love singing it. I love the way people react when I do it live."

She adds, "For new people to be discovering it, for it to be making new memories with people is kind of beautiful," noting she hasn't really processed all the newfound attention.

Mind you, the all-nude dance throughout the castle is perhaps one of the least shocking moments of the film ... there's a lot of others, including a sex-with-a-grave scene, a semen-slurping bathtub highlight, etc. Yeah, it's that kind of movie -- totally freaking out there.

Se espera que "Barbie" sea una de las grandes protagonistas de la ceremonia de los Oscar este año, pero una categoría en la que podría quedar relegada tiene que ver con su guion y Judd Apatow cree que es un error.

Así es la cosa; a medida que se acerca la 96ª edición de los Premios de la Academia, las posibles nominaciones van tomando forma entre bastidores y en el tema del guion, Margot Robbie y compañía están un poco jodidos por la categoría en la que quedaron.

La semana pasada, Variety informó de que "Barbie" iba a ser relegada a la categoría de Mejor Guion Adaptado en lugar de Mejor Guion Original, puesto que los personajes ya "existían".

Para muchos snobs del cine fue una mala decisión, viendo que el argumento de "Barbie" es, de hecho, bastante original, en el sentido de que no es una reelaboración de otra historia de "Barbie" existente y Judd está entre los que están indignados en nombre de los guionistas que lo idearon.

Escribe: "Es insultante para los guionistas decir que estaban trabajando a partir de material existente. No había material ni historia existentes." Francamente, muchos están de acuerdo.

La razón por la que la gente está disgustada de que "Barbie" haya sido considerada como Adaptada en lugar de a Original -a pesar de hacer campaña por esta última- es porque hay una competencia más dura en Adaptada; incluyendo "Oppenheimer", "Killers of the Flower Moon", etc. Tremendas competidoras básicamente.

Teniendo en cuenta lo repleta que está la categoría, los cinéfilos creen que "Barbie" tendrá más posibilidades de ganar y viendo el gran impacto cultural que ha tenido este año, mucha gente quiere verla brillar de todas las formas posibles.

Lo cierto es que "Barbie" cumplía todos los requisitos y frases como "No controlo los ferrocarriles ni el flujo del comercio" merecen sin duda algún reconocimiento.

"Barbie" is expected to be a big player at this year's Oscars ceremony -- but one category where it might get stiffed relates to its script ... and Judd Apatow thinks it's BS.

Here's the deal ... as the 96th Academy Awards approach, the potential nominations are taking shape BTS -- and on the issue of screenplay, Margot Robbie and co. got kinda screwed because of what bucket they'll land in for consideration by voting members.

Last week, Variety reported that "Barbie" was going to be relegated to the Best Adapted Screenplay category as opposed to Best Original ... since the characters already "existed."

Film snobs thought that was a bad call, seeing how the plot of "Barbie" is, in fact, pretty original -- in the sense that it isn't a rework of another existing "Barbie" story out there ... and Judd is among those who are outraged on behalf of the scribes who came up with it.

He writes, "It’s insulting to the writers to say they were working off of existing material. There was no existing material or story. There was a clear box." Frankly, many agree.

The reason folks are bummed that "Barbie got thrown into Adapted as opposed to Original -- despite campaigning for the latter -- is 'cause there's tougher competition in Adapted ... including "Oppenheimer," "Killers of the Flower Moon," etc. Oscar shoe-ins, basically.

Considering how packed that category is, the movie buffs feel like "Barbie" will have a harder chance at actually winning ... and seeing how big of a cultural impact it had this year, a lot of people want to see it get some shine in as many ways as possible this year.

Fact is, "Barbie" checked all the boxes -- and lines like "I don't control the railways or the flow of commerce" most certainly warrant some recognition somewhere along the way.

Jodie Foster's crapping on Gen Z, but more specifically how they operate on the job -- which begs the obvious question of ... who the hell is she talking about exactly??? 👀

The 2-time Oscar-winning actress did an interview with The Guardian where she candidly shared her thoughts on these young'ns out here ... and she took aim at the early-20-somethings and teens that she appears to have crossed paths with on movie/TV sets.

JF started on this train of thought by first praising 20-year-old actress Bella Ramsey -- saying she asked her to intro her at an event, noting how she embodies a modern type of womanhood in her appearance/fashion choices, etc. Bella identifies as nonbinary, BTW.

In the same breath, though, Jodie went on to slam other Gen Z'ers at large -- including, apparently, old coworkers of hers, with JF griping ... "They’re really annoying, especially in the workplace. They’re like, ‘Nah, I’m not feeling it today, I’m gonna come in at 10.30am.’"

She continues, "Or, like, in emails, I’ll tell them this is all grammatically incorrect, did you not check your spelling? And they’re like, ‘Why would I do that, isn’t that kind of limiting?’"

The irony, of course, is that she started out in showbiz at a very young age too. In fact, she was just 12 years old while acting in Martin Scorsese's "Taxi Driver." Perhaps she's using that experience and how she handled herself in ripping on this new, hip generation!

Now, Jodie could just be speaking about Gen Z office/work culture generally or anecdotally -- but it does kinda sound like she might be referring to Gen Z'ers she's crossed with professionally herself ... and if that's the case, there's only a select handful that fit the bill.

Ariana Grande ha estado fuera de la escena musical por un buen tiempo, pero todo eso va a terminar a finales de esta semana, al menos eso dice la Princesa del Pop.

La cantante anunció el domingo que lanzará un nuevo single en solitario -el primero en casi 3 años- el próximo viernes y ha vuelto a usar comas en los títulos de sus canciones. El tema se llama "Yes, And?"

Ari está publicando una tonelada de anuncios en sus historias de Insta, incluyendo un montón de enlaces para que los fans ordenen el single por anticipado. También parece estar usando su cuenta oficial de "Sweetener" para promocionarlo.

Por supuesto, su base leal está más que entusiasmada con la noticia, ya que muchos sienten que ella estuvo seriamente fuera del radar por demasiado tiempo desde que nos entregó el álbum "Positions" allá por el otoño de 2020. Después de eso, ella ha sido bastante discreta tanto en la música como en la vida pública.

Todo eso cambió el año pasado cuando se divorció de su ahora ex marido Dalton Gómez y comenzó a salir con su coprotagonista en "Wicked" Ethan Slater (el chico de "Bob Esponja"). El cambio en su vida amorosa causó muchos titulares al igual que su separación profesional del mega manager Scooter Braun.

Mientras que mucha gente siente que Ariana ha decaído últimamente, la verdad del asunto es que ella ha estado ocupada rodando este musical en el Reino Unido y obviamente haciéndole frente a muchas cosas en su círculo íntimo.

Sí, ella no ha sacado música original hace un tiempo, pero ha vuelto a los escenarios durante las vacaciones y fue un gran éxito.

Ariana Grande has been out of the music scene for a good long while now -- but that's all coming to an end later this week ... so says the Princess of Pop herself.

The singer announced Sunday that she'd be dropping a brand new solo single -- her first in nearly 3 years -- this upcoming Friday ... and she's back to using commas in her song titles. The track is called 'Yes, And?' and AG teased with a blurry close-up shot of her mug.

Ari's posting a ton of promo in her IG Story too ... including lots of links for fans to pre-order the single. She also seems to be using her official "Sweetener" account to hype it up as well.

Of course, her loyal base is beyond excited about the news ... as many feel like she seriously fell off the radar for a bit too long since dropping her "Positions" album way back in the Fall 2020. After that, she's been a pretty MIA ... both in music and in public life.

That all changed last year when she divorced her now ex-husband Dalton Gomez and started dating her "Wicked" costar Ethan Slater (the 'SpongeBob' guy). The swap in her love life caused a lot of headlines ... as did her professional split from mega manager Scooter Braun.

While a lot of folks feel like Ariana fell off lately, the truth of the matter is ... she's been busy shooting this musical out in the UK, and obviously dealing with a lot in her inner circle.

Yes, she hasn't put out original music of her own in a bit -- but she has recently dipped her toe back into performing onstage in front of a crowd ... and for the holidays, it was a big hit.

2024 has only just begun – but Halle Bailey already has a lot to be thankful for with the birth of her first child, Halo!

The Grammy-nominated singer and her rapper boyfriend, DDG, posted photos on their Instagram pages Saturday night, showing their hands gently holding Halo's fingers with his name etched in a gold bracelet around his little wrist.

In her caption, Halle wrote, "Even though we’re a few days into the new year, the greatest thing that 2023 could have done for me, was bring me my son.. welcome to the world my halo 🥰👼🏽 ✨the world is desperate to know you 😉🤣♥️."

DDG also commented under his IG pic, "my biggest blessing by far 👶🏽❤️ son son.. never been so in love 🥹 baby halo."

As you may recall, the couple became an item in March 2022 when DDG posted a message on Halle's IG account for her birthday. Since then, they've kept their private lives out of the spotlight ... that was until last night.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard decided to take in some high culture Saturday night, going to a Broadway show ... one with a special personal meaning.

The controversial ex-con hit the Big Apple with her husband Ryan Scott Anderson, and the two hustled to make curtain for "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child."

If you recall ... her mother, Dee Dee, yanked her out of school when she was very young, and she repeatedly read the 'Harry Potter' series to learn to read.

Gypsy took to TikTok minutes before the curtain went up to share her 'Harry Potter' love, and snaps of her seats, with her exploding social media audience.

The couple's fun night out sits in stark opposition to the harrowing details emerging in her new Lifetime docuseries.

Gypsy recently revealed she'd been violent toward her mother before she and her then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn plotted her murder.

The 32-year-old says, after her mother caught her trying to run away when she was 19, Dee Dee chained her to the bed and beat her severely.

She said Dee Dee also bought a gun and one day, while arguing, Gypsy grabbed it off the table and fired multiple shots at her mother.

It turned out to only be a BB gun, but Gypsy said she was shocked to find she'd pulled the trigger at all, having made the snap decision without thinking.

Dee Dee's medical records show she was treated for a pellet gun injury ... but she said a man robbed and shot her in a Walmart parking lot.

Of course, a few years later, Gypsy did plan and successfully stab her mother to death ... a crime for which she served seven years.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard decidió empaparse de alta cultura el sábado por la noche y asistió a un espectáculo de Broadway... uno con un significado personal especial.

La controvertida ex convicta llegó a la Gran Manzana con su marido Ryan Scott Anderson y los dos se apresuraron a hacer fila para "Harry Potter y el Niño Maldito".

Recordemos que su madre, Dee Dee, la sacó de la escuela cuando era muy pequeña y leyó repetidamente la serie de "Harry Potter" para aprender a leer.

Minutos antes de que se abriera el telón, Gypsy usó TikTok para compartir su amor por Harry Potter y las instantáneas de sus asientos con su creciente audiencia en las redes sociales.

La divertida noche de la pareja contrasta con los angustiosos detalles que aparecen en su nueva docuserie de Lifetime.

Gypsy reveló recientemente que había sido violenta con su madre antes de que ella y su entonces novio Nicholas Godejohn planearan su asesinato.

La joven de 32 años dice que, después de que su madre la sorprendiera tratando de huir cuando tenía 19 años, Dee Dee la encadenó a la cama y la golpeó severamente.

Dijo que Dee Dee también compró una pistola y un día, mientras discutían, Gypsy la cogió de la mesa y le disparó varias veces a su madre.

Resultó ser solo una pistola de aire comprimido, pero Gypsy dijo que se sorprendió al descubrir que había apretado el gatillo, después de haber tomado la decisión sin pensar.

Los registros médicos de Dee Dee muestran que fue tratada por una herida de escopeta de perdigones, pero ella dijo que un hombre le robó y le disparó en un estacionamiento de Walmart.

Por supuesto, unos años más tarde, Gypsy hizo un plan que resultó con su madre apuñalada hasta morir... un crimen por el que cumplió siete años.

La escuela secundaria de Mia Thermopolis en "El diario de la princesa" ha encontrado un comprador después de casi 3 meses en el mercado... TMZ ha averiguado.

De acuerdo con los registros de bienes raíces, los propietarios del inmueble de 6,5 millones de dólares de estilo mediterráneo en San Francisco, que se duplicó como exterior de la escuela secundaria en la comedia protagonizada por Anne Hathaway en 2001, aceptaron una oferta por la casa el pasado viernes.

La propiedad de 4 cuartos, 4 baños y 12 habitaciones con 4.554 pies cuadrados de espacio, sin duda es apta para la realeza. Cuenta con una sala de medios de comunicación, ascensor, un gimnasio en el nivel inferior y un garaje para un carro con un armario de lavandería.

En el exterior, hay un jardín en la azotea con una cocina al aire libre y fogata con majestuosas vistas a la bahía de San Francisco, a la ciudad al norte y al este y al bosque al oeste.

Por supuesto, el mejor punto de venta de la propiedad es que aparece como la ficticia Grove High School en "El diario de la princesa", a donde asistió el personaje de Anne Mia antes de enterarse de que era princesa de Genovia.

Solo se utilizaron las tomas exteriores de la casa para la escuela. Las escenas al interior fueron filmadas en Alverno High School en Sierra Madre, cerca de Pasadena.

La casa era propiedad del ex director general de Just Desserts y su esposa y ha sido sometida a numerosas reformas en las últimas 2 décadas.

Mia Thermopolis' high school from "The Princess Diaries" has found a buyer ... after nearly 3 months on the market ... TMZ has learned.

According to real estate records ... the owners of the eye-watering $6.5 million sprawling Mediterranean-style abode in San Francisco ... which doubled as the exterior of the high school in the 2001 comedy starring Anne Hathaway ... accepted an offer on the home last Friday.

The 4-bed, 4-bath 12-room villa with 4,554 square feet of living space is undoubtedly fit for royalty ... boasting a media room, elevator, a lower-level gym, and a one-car garage with a laundry closet.

On the outside, there's a roof garden with an outdoor kitchen and firepit ... with majestic views over the San Fran Bay, city views to the north and east and forest views to the west.

Of course, the best selling point of the property is that it's featured as the fictional Grove High School in "The Princess Diaries" ... which Anne's character Mia attended before learning she was Princess of Genovia.

Only the exterior shots of the home were used as the school ... scenes inside the school were filmed at Alverno High School in Sierra Madre, near Pasadena.

The home was owned by the former CEO of Just Desserts and his wife ... undergoing plenty of renovations over the last 2 decades.

Underneath this cinched up star is a man who has worked with all the greats in Hollywood ... Cher, John Travolta, Angelina Jolie ... you name it! Refrain from becoming moonstruck starstruck as you ponder on who this stud in the top hat could possibly be ...

Along with several famous entertainers, he attended Beverly Hills High School but dropped out senior year to pursue his acting dreams ... making his on-screen debut in 1981. Take off your hat and wish this birthday boy a Happy 60th before he's "Gone In 60 Seconds!"

Debajo de esta estrella distorsionada hay un hombre que ha trabajado con todos los grandes de Hollywood, desde Cher hasta John Travolta y Angelina Jolie, ¡lo que sea! No te quedes boquiabierto mientras reflexionas sobre quién puede ser este galán con sombrero de copa...

Junto con otros famosos del mundo del espectáculo, estudió en el instituto de Beverly Hills, pero abandonó los estudios en el último año para perseguir sus sueños como actor y debutó en la pantalla en 1981. Quítate el sombrero y deséale un feliz cumpleaños número 60 a este galán, ¡antes de que se te escapen esos 60 segundos!

3:49 PM PST -- The Palm Beach Sheriff's Office tells TMZ ... Cindy's roommate called cops to their Lake Worth Beach home on Dec. 30, 2023 -- saying she returned home from a holiday trip, knocked on Cindy's door in their residence ... but got no response.

The roommate told officers she smelled a strong odor emanating from inside and called 911, noting the last she'd seen CM alive was on Dec. 19. Cops went in and found Cindy dead in her room ... with no foul play suspected. An investigation is underway.

3:22 PM PST -- A county rep confirms to TMZ that Cindy died of "natural causes."

Cindy Morgan -- famous for her role in "Caddyshack" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office confirmed the actress' passing in the area, but no further details about when she died or under what circumstances were immediately available. We've also confirmed her body is currently at a local funeral home there in Florida.

Morgan will likely best be remembered for playing Lacey Underall in the famous 1980 comedy opposite Chevy Chase, Bill Murray and Rodney Dangerfield -- portraying the country club owner's hot niece who captures the attention of pretty much every male character.

She had quite a few scenes in there ... and was memorable as the key temptress in the flick. There's one notable scene she shared with Chevy, where she tried seducing him at a party.

While she was great in "Caddyshack," Cindy had actually starred in several other big films throughout her career ... specifically, in "Tron" -- where she played 2 big roles, Lora and Yori. In addition to this, she also starred in "Galaxis," "Silent Fury," "Up Yours" and other movies.

Her TV resume was even more impressive ... CM had roles on hit shows like "The Love Boat," "CHiPs," "Bring 'Em Back Alive," "The Fall Guy," "Falcon Crest," "Matlock," "Hunter," "The Highwayman," "Manusco, FBI," "The Larry Sanders Show," "Under Suspicion" and more.

Cindy's resume included 37 acting credits, and it looks like she'd been active as recently as 2022 with a voice role in an indie flick. We've tried reaching out to her team ... but haven't had any luck in tracking down someone who currently reps her.

She was 69.

RIP
