From the moon to the Big Apple, Drew Barrymore has landed safely here on Earth and is counting on you to detect the extraterrestrial changes in these images. Buckle up, and see if you can scope out the minor switch-ups ... do it for Drew!

Rather than taking a spaceship or Citi bike, Drew got around by foot in New York City earlier this week and was rockin' some winter attire. The minor changes in the two shots may be a pain in the neck to find ...

Blast off!

It's been a busy week at TMZ ... covering everything from the Golden Globes to a Milli Vanilli divorce, but a few stories really stood out on our TV shows -- "TMZ on TV," "TMZ Live" and "TMZ Sports" -- so, check 'em out yourself!

For starters, we got into the gripping new video of OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney, and her Miami murder case, on "TMZ Live." We aired new footage showing her squabbling with her slain BF, Christian Obumseli, 2 months before she killed him at their Miami condo ... which prosecutors claim she did intentionally.

Lots of folks online viewed Clenney as the aggressor in the wild clip -- but we break down how it could have an impact on a far more important group of people ... the jury.

On a muuuuch lighter note, we also talked Tom Cruise on "TMZ on TV" and his big movie news this week -- the fact he signed a mega deal with WB to produce and star in a bunch of franchise films ... even as he's moving forward on "Top Gun 3."

The catch ... he's doing 'TP3' with Paramount, despite seemingly giving 'em the cold shoulder to sign with WB, and even getting his own office there. Yeah ... interesting.

Lastly, our "TMZ Sports" crew got into the big NFL playoff weekend ... and the aspect of it Swiftees everywhere wanna hear. QB legend Brett Favre was on the show to talk about Taylor Swift's impact on Travis Kelce's opening round game against the Dolphins.

Watch and see how he feels about a potential Chiefs loss, and who might be to blame!!! 👀

Peter Crombie, famoso por interpretar a uno de los personajes favoritos de los fans de "Seinfeld", "Crazy" Joe Davola, ha muerto ... TMZ ha averiguado.

El actor falleció el miércoles debido a una enfermedad que le quitó la vida rápidamente, según su ex esposa Nadine Kijner. No está claro qué enfermedad podría haber padecido. El resto de los detalles que rodean su muerte no fueron revelados inmediatamente.

Peter será mejor recordado por su recurrente papel en "Seinfeld", "Crazy" Joe Davola, que aparece en 5 episodios de la temporada 4. Joe aterrorizó, acosó y amenazó a Jerry Seinfeld e incluso salió con Elaine en un momento dado.

Aparte de su fama en "Seinfeld", Peter actuó en películas como "My Dog Skip", "Natural Born Killers", "The Blob", "Se7en" y "Rising Sun", "Born on the Fourth of July", por nombrar solo algunas. En realidad, trabajó mucho más en televisión, y a lo largo de los años apareció en grandes series.

Además de "Seinfeld", Peter protagonizó la miniserie de televisión "House of Frankenstein". También participó como estrella invitada en programas como "NYPD Blue", "Walker, Texas Ranger", "Diagnosis Murder", "Law & Order", "Perfect Strangers", "Spenser: For Hire", "L.A. Law", "L.A. Firefighters" y muchas otras.

En total, tenía 35 créditos como actor y parece que dejó el mundo del espectáculo alrededor del año 2000.

La ex esposa de Peter nos dice: "Era el hombre más bondadoso, generoso y considerado. Era querido por todos, generoso y nunca tenía nada malo que decir de nadie".

Su amigo Bill Stetz recuerda a Peter como "un amigo amable y leal, de palabras suaves y trabajo expresivo como actor y escritor." Peter tenía 71 años.

Peter Crombie -- famous for playing fan favorite "Crazy" Joe Davola on "Seinfeld" -- has died ... TMZ has learned.

The actor passed away Wednesday due to some sort of illness that took his life quickly, according to his ex-wife Nadine Kijner. It's unclear what ailment he might've been battling -- the rest of the details surrounding his death weren't immediately disclosed.

Peter will be best remembered for his recurring role on "Seinfeld" ...  his character "Crazy" Joe Davola appears in 5 episodes in season 4 ... with Joe terrorizing, stalking and threatening Jerry Seinfeld and even dating Elaine at one point.

Aside from his "Seinfeld" fame, Peter acted in movies like"My Dog Skip," "Natural Born Killers," "The Blob," "Se7en" and "Rising Sun," "Born on the Fourth of July" ... just to name a few. He did a lot more work in television, actually ... having made appearances on some big-time shows over the years.

In addition to 'Seinfeld, Peter starred in the TV miniseries "House of Frankenstein" ... as well as guest starring roles on TV shows like "NYPD Blue," "Walker, Texas Ranger," "Diagnosis Murder," "Law & Order," "Perfect Strangers," "Spenser: For Hire," "L.A. Law," "L.A. Firefighters" and lots of others.

All in all, he had 35 acting credits to his name ... and it looks like he left showbiz around 2000.

Peter's ex-wife tells us ... "He was the kindest most caring, giving, considerate man. He was loved by everybody, generous and never had anything bad to say about anyone."

His friend Bill Stetz remembers Peter as "a gentle and loyal friend of soft words and expressive work as an actor and a writer." Peter was 71.

Jeremy Allen White says he ain't interested in the sofa from his Calvin Klein underwear shoot -- even though it's free on the web right now ... for whoever wants to come claim it.

We got Jeremy at the Four Seasons in Los Angeles Friday and our photog asked him how he felt about the couch being listed for $0 on Facebook Marketplace by a woman claiming the orange couch is literally sitting on top of her NYC building right now ... up for grabs!

You'll recall ... this is the same sofa on which Jeremy stripped down to his underwear for a recent rooftop photo shoot for Calvin Klein in New York City ... snapping a few pics on the rooftop furniture in a spread everyone's going wild for, even now.

Jeremy's a pretty humble guy ... he says the $0 price tag is about what it's worth, and he doesn't think the couch belongs in a museum somewhere either. Dude ain't interested in it for himself either, BTW ... he says he's got more couches than he can deal with.

The famous piece of furniture popped up on FB this week for free ... with the lady listing it writing, "Guess what? I've got the hottest seat in town – the legendary red corduroy couch that a famous celebrity chef (in not-so-many clothes) sat on in the commercial everyone’s talking about." She goes on to say her hubby had the hookup, but it's been left behind.

She's offering it up for free to anyone who wants to come and grab it -- but they gotta do all the heavy lifting themselves. As for the price tag ($0), JAW thinks that sounds about right.

Tom Holland is speaking up about all the speculation he and Zendaya are dunzo, and he's saying it simply isn't true ... issuing an outright denial to the notion they've split.

The 'Spider-Man' star was out and about Friday in L.A., walking through an alley with a pal as they made their way to Tom's parked car ... and a photog was waiting to chat him up about all the breakup buzz..

Dude tried congratulating TH on a new 'Back to the Future' gig -- which isn't real, BTW -- but then finally asked the obvious question ... are y'all broken up or not? Tom says "No, absolutely not." He doesn't elaborate further, but that's about as clear as he can be on this issue.

Of course, this all comes on the heels of what a lot of people took as red flags in the past couple weeks -- including Zendaya unfollowing everyone (Tom as well) ... not to mention the fact Tom and Zendaya haven't been photographed together in public in literally months.

Meanwhile, Zendaya herself was also out and about Friday -- we got video of her cruising around Culver City with her brother, Austin.

Unclear if they ended up buying anything, but as you can see ... they were pretty chipper on the way out as they headed back to their car, with Zen once again in the driver's seat.

Remember, Zendaya and Austin were photographed Wednesday as well -- driving around town and doing their own things ... solo. It is allowed when you're dating, but for what it's worth she was driving with her brother, and Tom was mobbin' around WeHo that night.

Fast-forward a few days, and they're still not together, but now ... Tom's saying they continue to be a couple.

Frankly, there's no smoking gun on them splitting up, anyway -- in fact, we'd been told by people with direct knowledge the duo spent NYE together. The fact they haven't been hanging out together in public these past couple weeks doesn't necessarily mean they're done.

It just means they've got individual lives -- plus, Zendaya and Tom are notoriously private as it is ... so this might just be par for the course.

FKA Twigs suggested that the UK banning her Calvin Klein ad was a double standard -- and seemed to suggest race was a factor ... but the org that nixed it is calling BS.

UK's Advertising Standards Authority -- which has authority over this sorta thing -- tells TMZ their final assessment on whether an ad stays or goes is based solely on their responsibility and offense rules -- and FKA's ad broke 'em on objectification and inappropriate targeting.

The photo in question shows Twigs showing some side-boob & butt/thigh but covering the rest of her modesty with a denim shirt -- not the raciest shot in the world, but it's been pointed out that Kendall Jenner's similarly racy CK ad got a free pass across the pond recently.

The ASA tells us they took a hard look at the two "similar but, crucially, subtly different ads" -- but it was Twigs' ad that they took issue with ... 'cause she was far more revealing than Kendall was.

Take a look at the pics and you'll see ... Twigs is showing some side-boob and part of her buttocks -- whereas Kendall is wearing jeans and fully covering her chest with her hands.

Also, unless you've been hiding under a rock ... Jeremy Allen White's recent steamy CK ad has been doing the rounds everywhere lately -- including the UK -- a decision that's fueled widespread discussion on "double standards," as FKA put it.

But, ASA isn't backing down ... telling us they understand there's a fine line between judging what is and isn't likely to cause offense --  but it's their job to make the call.

Supa Emcee -- the Michigan-born rapper whose biggest claim to fame is being cut OUT of Eminem's "8 Mile" -- has been charged with murder following the death of his girlfriend.

According to the local reports, Supa -- real name Jimmie Brown -- has been accused by the authorities of stabbing and slashing his partner of 13 years, Kelly Mays, around 17 times in the neck and chest during an alleged altercation in their Detroit apartment on January 7.

Cops claim he fled the scene before turning himself in later in the day ... when he was ultimately charged with murder.

Mays' daughter denounced all association with Brown, telling local Fox 2 Detroit, “I hate him now and he is no father of mine. I touched her foot, and it was cold. I have nightmares about it so every time I fall asleep, I see it.”

Brown's a seasoned veteran on the Detroit rap scene ... he got the chance to battle rap against Em in the iconic hip hop film but the scene got downgraded to the DVD ... destined to become a relic soon.

We obtained the court docs ... Brown's next hearing is scheduled for January 25. He faces up to life in prison if convicted. Mays was 49.

Tom Holland está hablando sobre los rumores de que él y Zendaya han terminado, y está diciendo que simplemente no es cierto y negando rotundamente de que hayan roto.

La estrella de "Spider-Man" andaba paseando por Los Ángeles el viernes, caminando por un callejón con un amigo mientras se dirigían al carro aparcado de Tom y un fotógrafo estaba esperando para hablar con él sobre todas estas especulaciones.

El tipo trató de felicitar a Tom por su nueva actuación en "Regreso al Futuro", -que no es real, por cierto- pero al final le hizo la pregunta obvia, ¿terminaron o no? Tom dice: "No, en absoluto". No da más detalles, pero es lo más claro que se puede ser en este tema.

Por supuesto, todo esto viene después de que mucha gente advirtiera malas señales en las últimas semanas, incluyendo el hecho de que Zendaya dejó de seguir a todo el mundo, incluyendo a Tom. Eso, por no mencionar que Tom y Zendaya no han sido fotografiados juntos en público en literalmente meses.

Mientras tanto, la propia Zendaya también andaba fuera el viernes. Tenemos un video de ella paseando por Culver City con su hermano, Austin.

No está claro si terminaron comprando algo, pero como se puede ver, estaban bastante contentos de regreso a su carro, con Zen, una vez más en el asiento del conductor.

Recordemos que Zendaya y Austin fueron fotografiados el miércoles también, conduciendo por la ciudad y haciendo sus propias cosas en solitario. Se permite cuando estás saliendo con alguien, pero si vemos lo que realmente importa, ella estaba conduciendo con su hermano y Tom estaba cerca de West Hollywood esa noche.

Avancemos algunos días y ellos todavía no están juntos, pero ahora ... Tom está diciendo que siguen siendo una pareja.

Francamente, no hay ningún indicio de que han terminado, de hecho, personas con conocimiento directo nos han dicho que el dúo pasó la noche de fin de año juntos. El hecho de que no hayan sido vistos en público no significa necesariamente que rompieron.

Solo significa que tienen vidas individuales. Además, Zendaya y Tom son notoriamente privados, por lo que esto podría ser solo lo normal.

Sam Haskell Jr. is officially denying culpability in his triple murder case this week -- and the guy continues to go shirtless before a judge ... this as officials have fears of self-harm.

The murder suspect had an appearance in court Friday in Los Angeles, where he and his lawyers officially entered not guilty pleas to the 3 counts of murder Haskell is facing. Also of note ... the fact he was trotted out in front of everybody with his bare chest exposed again.

Remember, he was rocking the same sorta look when he first appeared in court last month ... something correctional officers relegated him to because of what they said were suicidal thoughts he was expressing.

Now, more than a month later of his being in custody ... he's still shirtless, something his lawyers griped about Friday -- claiming their client has not indicated he intends self-harm upon himself. Despite this, hizzoner denied Sam a shirt ... offering a self-harm vest instead.

Doesn't sound like Sam took the judge up on that ... and now, he's due back in court next month. It's unclear what exactly he's wearing behind bars, but when he's appeared in court ... he's been shirtless both times.

Remember, prosecutors allege Sam killed his wife, Mei, as well as her parents Yanxiang and Gaoshan. TMZ obtained surveillance video that appeared to show Haskell dumping something off at a dumpster shortly before he was arrested.

He remains in custody without bail.

Actress Mia Goth -- known for the films "X" and "Pearl" -- is being sued by a background extra of her upcoming film in the series ... after allegedly kicking him in the head on purpose during a take.

According to the docs, obtained by TMZ, Mia, director Ti West, and A24 are all being sued by an extra for the upcoming flick, claiming things got physical last year while they were shooting late at night.

The background actor says the scene called for him to wear a robe and be covered in fake blood from head to toe ... and he says he had to lay down in the dirt and play dead for several hours, "enduring ants and mosquitoes."

Mia, who plays Maxine, was supposed to run past the actor, step over him and look at him, then keep running ... but after a few takes, the actor claims Mia "nearly stepped" on him.

He says Mia was warned to be careful but instead, he claims she "intentionally kicked" him in the head with her boot on the following take, causing serious pain and neck stiffness. He says doctors later told him he suffered a concussion.

He claims no medical assistance was provided on set. Instead, he says Mia approached him in the bathroom and "taunted, mocked, and belittled" him ... daring them to do anything about what went down.

What's more, he says the fake blood had stuck to his body, so peeling off the blood-stained robe caused more pain -- and he claims he experienced headaches on the drive home and "nearly passed out twice" during the trip.

Jason Patric's brother was struck and killed by a bus this week in New Jersey ... TMZ has confirmed.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Jordan Miller -- who's a year younger than Jason -- was walking across the street in Fort Lee Wednesday afternoon, when a NJ Transit bus barreled into him while making a left turn, according to a preliminary police account.

We're told Jordan was rushed to a local hospital, where he was initially listed in serious condition, but then took a turn for the worse and was later pronounced dead.

Fort Lee PD detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the incident to determine if it was an accident or a crime. Jordan was a customer service rep at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan. A Port Authority rep confirmed to us Jordan is, in fact, the sibling of Jason ... who apparently was friendly with folks in the agency.

As you probably know, Jason is a big-time Hollywood actor with a laundry list of film credits -- including "The Lost Boys," "Sleepers," "Geronimo: An American Legend," "Your Friends & Neighbors," "Narc," "The Losers," "The Alamo," and "Speed 2: Cruise Control." Jason has also appeared on some TV shows, such as "Entourage" and "Saturday Night Live" as host.

We reached out to Jason's camp ... they had no comment. Jordan was 56.

Jason Sudeikis se ha visto como un verdadero soltero últimamente, aunque en una noche en Hollywood esta semana parecía estar muy cariñoso con un potencial nuevo romance.

La estrella de "Ted Lasso" fue al popular Bird Streets Club en West Hollywood el jueves por la noche con la actriz Elsie Hewitt, donde le dio un pequeño abrazo que ella le correspondió. Elsie también agarró su brazo de una manera un tanto tierna y entraron juntos.

No más de expresiones de afecto que las que se ve en las fotos, pero sin duda parece indicar que son amigos y tal vez algo más. Después de todo, ambos están solteros.

Jason Sudeikis supuestamente se separó de la coprotagonista de "Ted Lasso", Keeley Hazell, hace un par de años. Esto, por supuesto, solo un poco después de la ruptura con su novia desde hace mucho tiempo y madre de su bebé, Olivia Wilde, lo que fue ampliamente cubierto. Ahora está aquí conversando con Elsie, pero es difícil saber lo que significa.

Si, de hecho, están saliendo --algo de lo que no estamos seguros en este momento-- sería una tendencia interesante para Jason en lo que se refiere a la edad. Ella tiene 27 años, Keeley; 37, mientras que Olivia tiene 39 años.

Se siente como que podría estar yendo con chicas un poco más jóvenes como sus parejas.

Aunque Jason y Olivia claramente han superado su separación, siguen llevando bastante bien el cuidado de sus hijos. Constantemente se los ve juntos con sus 2 hijos.

De todos modos, en cuanto a Elsie... Ella es una sin duda un buen partido, vamos a darle eso. También es una de esas jóvenes estrellas en ascenso en la industria, con papeles en "Dave" y otros programas y películas.

Una última cosa. Elsie estaba saliendo recientemente con Benny Blanco, que obviamente está con Selena Gomez ahora. Así que, como hemos dicho, ella parece estar disponible y Jason también.

Jason Sudeikis has been looking like a real single fella lately -- and during a night out in Hollywood this week ... he looked to be getting cozy with a potential new flame.

The 'Ted Lasso' star hit up the popular Bird Streets Club in WeHo Thursday night -- where he linked up with actress Elsie Hewitt ... giving her a nice little hug, and her reciprocating. She also grabbed his arm in a somewhat tender way ... and they went inside together.

There isn't much more PDA here beyond what you see in the pics -- but they certainly seem to indicate the two of them are friendly ... and perhaps more. They are, after all, both single.

JS reportedly split with 'Lasso' costar Keeley Hazell a couple years back -- this, of course, on the heels of his ugly breakup with longtime girlfriend/baby mama Olivia Wilde ... which was widely covered. Now, here he is chatting it up with Elsie -- but it's hard to tell what this is.

If they are, in fact, dating -- which we're just not sure of at this point -- it'd be an interesting trend for Jason in the age department. She's 27, and Keeley is 37 ... whereas Olivia's 39.

On its face, it feels like he might be going a little younger with his pool of potential partners.

While Jason and Olivia have both clearly moved on since splitting up -- they continue to co-parent pretty well ... they're constantly seen getting together with their 2 kids in tow.

Anyway, as for Elsie here ... she sure is a hot ticket, we'll give her that. And, she's also one of these young rising stars in the biz -- with roles on 'Dave' and other shows/movies.

One last thing of note ... Elsie was recently dating Benny Blanco, who's obviously now with Selena Gomez. So, like we said ... she appears to be available and ditto for Jason.

Ava DuVernay's just like the rest of us ... thrilled that Angela Bassett's finally bagged an Oscar at the Governors Awards, but she's also clarifying it's its own thing -- separate from an Academy Award at the big show.

TMZ got the director out in NYC, where she made the distinction between the Governors Awards and the prestigious, world-renowned Academy Awards coming up in 2 months ... where bagging a shiny gold statuette is the pinnacle of every actor's career.

Ava says it was high time for the Academy to honor Angela's body of work. Of course, she's also been nominated for 2 acting Oscars -- Best Actress for 1993's "What's Love Got To Do With It" and Best Supporting Actress for 2022's 'Wakanda Forever' -- but has yet to win one.

With that said, Ava -- who's one of the Academy Governors herself -- was thrilled to witness Angela get this well-deserved recognition ... and made it clear the Governors Award and Academy Awards are separate entities.

She also raves about getting to watch Ms. Bassett do her thing, and was especially inspired by her acceptance speech.

As for Angela ... she was stoked to be highlighted -- urging fellow Black actresses to think of who their ancestors intended them to be ... telling them to remain courageous.

She also paid tribute to the empowered women she's represented in her roles -- real queens like Tina Turner, Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King ... and, of course, Wakanda's fictional Queen Ramonda.

Ava DuVernay es como todos nosotros... está encantada de que Angela Bassett finalmente haya recibido un Oscar en los Governors Awards, pero también aclara que no es exactamente el verdadero premio.

TMZ se reunió con la directora en Nueva York, donde hizo la distinción entre los Governors Awards y los prestigiosos y mundialmente conocidos Premios de la Academia que se celebran dentro de dos meses, donde llevarse una brillante estatuilla dorada es el pináculo de la carrera de todo actor.

Así que si usted está celebrando que Angela finalmente se ganó un Oscar después de perder en 2 nominaciones anteriores -en 1993 con "What's Love Got To Do With It" y en 2022 con "Wakanda Forever", Ava está diciendo, momento... este aún no es el real.

Sin embargo, Ava nos dice que está muy feliz de que su "hermosa hermana" haya sido reconocida por su trabajo en general en la ceremonia de los Governors Awards, donde su amiga Regina King le entregó el premio.

Ella también delira sobre poder ver Angela hacer lo suyo en el escenario y dijo que se sintió especialmente inspirada por su discurso de aceptación.

Angela instó a sus compañeras actrices negras a pensar en lo que sus antepasados querían que fueran, diciéndoles que sigan siendo valientes.
