Malia Obama has come a long way from her childhood days in the White House ... 'cause she's now walking the red carpet at Sundance as a straight-up filmmaker.

The 25-year-old daughter of former president Barack Obama made her debut on the red carpet at the Park City, Utah annual event Thursday night.

Malia looked just stunning in her light blue button-down shirt, gray overcoat, gray scarf, black pants and shiny brown boots.

The former first daughter showed up for the premiere of her new short film, "The Heart," which she wrote and directed under the name Malia Ann. Turns out that Ann is her middle name, which appears in the credits.

Malia has said the movie is about "lost objects and lonely people and forgiveness and regret, but I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in these things."

Sounds like a winner to us! Let's hope the Sundance jurors and audiences think so, too, when they go vote for their favorite flicks in each category.

As a side note ... Malia was just 10 when she moved into the White House during her dad's 8 year tenure as the 44th President of the Unites States from 2009 to 2017.

Malia Obama ha recorrido un largo camino desde sus días de infancia en la Casa Blanca, pues ahora está caminando por la alfombra roja de Sundance como una verdadera cineasta.

La hija de 25 años del ex presidente Barack Obama hizo su debut en la alfombra roja en el evento anual de Park City, Utah, el jueves por la noche.

Malia estaba deslumbrante con su camisa azul claro abotonada, un abrigo gris, bufanda gris, pantalones negros y botas marrones brillantes.

La joven cineasta acudió al estreno de su nuevo cortometraje "The Heart", que escribió y dirigió bajo el nombre de Malia Ann. Resulta que Ann es su segundo nombre y es el que aparece en los créditos.

Malia ha dicho que la película trata sobre "objetos perdidos y gente solitaria y el perdón y el arrepentimiento, pero también creo que se esfuerza por descubrir si puede existir ternura y cercanía en estas cosas".

Se escucha como una ganadora para nosotros. Esperemos que los miembros del jurado y el público de Sundance piensen lo mismo cuando voten por sus películas favoritas.

The cast of "The American Society of Magical Negroes" all seem to be in agreement that white people shouldn't say the title in full -- and that goes for our own camera guy too.

David Alan Grier made that perfectly clear in a walk-and-chat we did with him Thursday at LAX -- where he was on his way to Sundance to screen his and Justice Smith's new dark comedy ... which is sort of a goofy spin on 'Harry Potter,' but with historical racial tropes.

Just watch the trailer to get the gist of what it's actually about -- it's pretty self-explanatory -- but on the issue of saying this film's title in full ... DAG is on the same page as Justice. Namely, he also thinks whites should steer clear of letting it come out of their mouths.

You'll recall ... JS -- who's the lead star of the flick -- told us exactly that yesterday at the airport, although you can tell he's totally joking. Ditto for Dave ... or so it seems?!?

Check out this back-and-forth he has with our photog ... let's just say, it's a bit awkward.

La actriz estadounidense Alicia Witt tenía poco más de 20 años cuando interpretó a June Carver, una chica coqueta y a la moda ansiosa por conseguir el puesto de consejera jefe de una empresa inmobiliaria en la comedia romántica "Aviso de dos semanas" (Two Weeks Notice), en 2002.

Alicia compartió la gran pantalla con Hugh Grant, en el papel del arrogante multimillonario y promotor inmobiliario George Wade, y Sandra Bullock, como la inteligente Lucy Kelson, licenciada en Derecho por Harvard y especializada en derecho medioambiental y conservación.

Alicia saltó a la fama como actriz infantil con papeles en "Dune" y "Twin Peaks". También actuó junto a Queen Latifah en "Last Holiday".

American actress Alicia Witt was in her mid 20's when she played June Carver -- the fashionable and flirty gal eager to land the new Chief Counsel role for a real estate company -- in the comedy/romance film "Two Weeks Notice" back in 2002.

Alicia shared the big screen with Hugh Grant as the arrogant billionaire and real estate developer, George Wade, and Sandra Bullock as the smart Harvard Law alumni, all about environmental law and preservation, Lucy Kelson.

Alicia first rose to fame as a child actress landing roles in "Dune" and "Twin Peaks." She also acted alongside Queen Latifah in "Last Holiday."

Indiana Jones está de vuelta, pero Harrison Ford no se pondrá el sombrero... ¡ni siquiera en el mundo digital!

Bethesda Softworks publicó el jueves el tráiler de su próximo videojuego "Indiana Jones y el Gran Círculo", y los fans no pudieron evitar darse cuenta que Indy suena un poco diferente.

Y es que Ford, que interpretó el papel en todas las películas y series de televisión, no prestará su voz al proyecto, sino Troy Baker, quien es como el Harrison Ford del mundo de los videojuegos. Sí, es así de icónico.

Basta con echarle un vistazo a los créditos del tipo: "The Last of Us", "Mortal Kombat", "BioShock", "Halo 4", "Resident Evil" y "Call of Duty: Black Ops", ¡además de darle voz a Batman en una serie!

Las reacciones de los fans son abrumadoramente positivas (no es una pequeña hazaña cuando se trata de la comunidad de jugadores.) A las personas que conocen el trabajo de Baker les encanta el casting y los que no todavía estaban impresionados por el trailer.

No se sabe exactamente por qué Harrison no volverá al papel. Podría ser por dinero —los videojuegos no tienen el mismo presupuesto que las grandes superproducciones— o podría ser que Han Solo está cumpliendo las promesas que hizo durante su gira de prensa para "Indiana Jones y el dial del destino"... es decir, que ha terminado con Indy y que está pasando a algo más grande y mejor.

Una cita que realmente lo dice todo, cuando se le preguntó si era agridulce dejar el personaje, Ford respondió: "No. Es hora de que crezca". Así que, definitivamente, parece un tipo que cuelga su viejo sombrero de arqueólogo.

Harrison tiene otros papeles en todo caso. Acaba de recibir una nominación al Critics Choice Award por su trabajo como el Dr. Paul Rhoades en "Shrinking" y tiene dos proyectos de Marvel en camino, el tipo está muy ocupado para una persona de 81 años.

Richard Simmons made very clear this week that he doesn't approve of Pauly Shore making a movie about him/his life -- but Pauly thinks he'll win the guy over ... eventually.

The actor touched down at the Salt Lake City Int'l Airport Thursday, where he's in town for the Sundance Film Festival that's going down this weekend in neighboring Park City. Right off the bat, photogs on hand were ready to pepper him with questions about this film of his.

Of course, the big one being ... do you think it's right to proceed with this Richard Simmons biopic -- even though the man himself hasn't given his blessing ... explicitly so.

Check out Pauly's take here, 'cause he touches on a few different things. For starters, he thinks RS might be singing this tune today ... but could well be feeling completely different about it by tomorrow. More importantly, though, he thinks intention is everything with this.

From Pauly's view, he's not coming from a vindictive place -- and he vows to do Richard justice in his portrayal of him. He also says straight up ... build it, and they'll come!

Pauly goes on to explain that he genuinely believes once Richard can see this new short film of his -- on which the forthcoming biopic will be based -- RS will come around to seeing his things his way, basically suggesting the work will be good ... and it'll be done right by Rich.

Bottom line for Pauly here ... people love Richard, and they also love him -- and he says folks are itching to see both of them make a comeback in a big way.

His question is ... what's wrong with giving the people what they want?!?

Indiana Jones is back already, but Harrison Ford ain't pickin' up the whip ... not even in the digital world!

Bethesda Softworks released the trailer for its upcoming video game "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" on Thursday, and fans couldn't help but notice ... Indy sounds a bit different.

That's because Ford -- who played the role in all film/TV content -- isn't lending his voice to the project ... instead it's Troy Baker, who's kinda like the Harrison Ford of the video game world. Yep, he's that iconic.

Just check out the guy's credits ... "The Last of Us," 'Mortal Kombat,' "BioShock," "Halo 4," 'Resident Evil' and "Call of Duty: Black Ops" ... plus he voiced freakin' Batman in one series!

And, fan reactions are .... overwhelmingly positive (not a small feat when it comes to the gaming community.) People who know Baker's work love the casting and those who don't were still blown away by the trailer - 'cause he's doing one heck of an impression.

It's unclear exactly why Harrison isn't coming back to the role. Could be money -- video games don't have the same budgets as blockbuster films -- or it could be that Han Solo's keeping to the promises he made during his press tour for "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" ... namely, that he's finished with Indy, and he's moving on to bigger and better.

One such quote that really says it all ... when asked if it was bittersweet leaving the character HF replied, "No. It’s time for me to grow up." So, it definitely sounds like a dude who's hanging his old archeologist's hat.

Harrison's got other roles to kick ass at BTW ... he just received a Critics Choice Award nom for his work as Dr. Paul Rhoades in "Shrinking," and he's got two Marvel projects on the way -- dude's pretty busy for an 81 year old.

It's the home that just won't sell, but Sofia Vergara's giving it another go ... relisting her Beverly Hills mansion with a massive price drop to woo a buyer.

The 7-bedroom abode has been through a few price reductions since going up for sale in 2022 for $19.6M ... even being taken off the market earlier this month ... and now it's being relisted for $13,950,000. If you're not good at math -- that's a big dip!

The $5.7M price drop is undoubtedly an attempt on Sofia's end to get rid of the property ... as it's the home she once shared with her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello.

The pair announced their divorce in July 2023 ... but while things didn't work out for them personally, at least they were living it up in style. That much is clear from these photos.

The spectacular BH estate is steeped in exceptional elegance and complete privacy ... boasting a brand-spankin' new chef's kitchen, 11,000 sq ft of living space, and hardwood floors.

It's also got a full-sized gym, a resort-like backyard with a pool and spa, a movie theater, and even a wine room. It sounds like a steal for the new price tag!

1:44 PM PT - Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que el preciado reloj Audemars Piguet de Arnold Schwarzenegger encontró un comprador en la subasta de hoy y el precio por el que se vendió fue bastante asombroso.

Nos dicen que el reloj terminó yéndose por 270.000 euros, lo que se traduce en alrededor de $293k en billetes verdes. Recuerden, este objeto había sido valorado en alrededor de $100.000 más o menos, por lo que pueden imaginarse que la escapada de Arnold con él en Alemania aumentó su valor entre los postores.

En total se recaudaron 1,3 millones de euros, lo que supone un récord para la organización. Esto es especialmente importante porque los recaudadores de fondos en Europa no suelen recaudar tanto como en Estados Unidos.

En cualquier caso, todo se destinará a una gran causa. Esto es la Iniciativa Climática de Arnold Schwarzenegger. ¡¡¡De nada, Madre Tierra!!!

La detención de Arnold Schwarzenegger por parte de la aduana alemana fue un asunto serio, pero ahora que está donde tenía que estar, está haciendo bromas, ¡y de las picantes!

El actor de Terminator finalmente llegó a su gran subasta en Austria el jueves, donde se subió al escenario del famoso Stanglwirt Resort para ser anfitrión de las ofertas en nombre de Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, y el costoso reloj también estaba entre los artículos.

Echa un vistazo a este video obtenido por TMZ, donde se ve a Arnold dirigirse a todos en la sala. Luego, el tipo se sumerge de lleno en lo que pasó en el aeropuerto de Munich.

Estaba de muy buen humor porque básicamente hizo unos cuantos minutos de stand-up comedy, bromeando sobre el hecho de que había sido esposado el día anterior, pero señalando que no tenía nada que ver con el asunto en la aduana. En lugar de eso, lo relacionó a una noche apasionada con su novia. 😅

Sí, estaba muy divertido e incluso llegó a decir que los chicos de aduanas en realidad estaban buscando un segundo reloj mientras buscaban entre sus cosas, pero nunca lo encontraron, y sugiere que es porque lo puso donde no brilla el sol.

Arnie consiguió unas risas, sin duda, y estuvo trabajando la audiencia como si fuera un comediante experimentado. Por cierto, nos han dicho que el evento estaba abarrotado: había más de 350 personas y terminó hablando durante un total de 8 minutos, no solo sobre el incidente de Alemania, por supuesto.

No está claro si Arnold acabó vendiendo el reloj Audemars Piguet en cuestión, que, por cierto, tenía una puja inicial de 50.000 euros, pero al menos soltó unos buenos chistes.

1:44 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ that Arnold Schwarzenegger's prized Audemars Piguet watch found a buyer at the auction today -- and the price it went for is pretty staggering.

We're told the timepiece ended up going for 270,000 euros ... which translates to about $293k in greenbacks. Remember, this thing was valued at around $100,000 or so -- and you gotta wonder if Arnold's escapade with it in Germany boosted its value among bidders.

They raised a total of 1.3 million euros at the fundraiser -- which is a record for the org!! This is especially big because the fundraisers in Europe don't generally raise as much as they do in the U.S.

In any case, it's all going toward a great cause ... the cash goes toward Arnold's Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative. You're welcome, Mother Earth!!!

Arnold Schwarzenegger's customs detention was a serious matter that held him in Germany -- but now that he's where he needs to be ... the dude's cracking jokes, kinky ones too!

The Terminator finally made it to his big auction in Austria Thursday -- where he took the stage at the famed Stanglwirt Resort ... where he was hosting a bidding war on behalf of his Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, with that pricey watch being one of the items.

Check out this video, obtained by TMZ, where AS is intro'd and comes out to address everyone in the room. The dude dives right into what happened to him at the Munich airport.

He was in a real fun mood -- 'cause Arnold basically did a couple minutes of stand-up comedy here ... joking about the fact he'd been handcuffed the day prior, but noting it had nothing to do with the customs thing. Instead, he pins it on a hot night with his GF. 😅

Yep, he's in full dad-joke mode here ... and the hits just kept coming. Arnold went on to say that the guys in customs were actually looking for a 2nd watch in their search of his stuff -- but they never found it, and he suggests it's because he put it where the sun don't shine.

Arnie got some laughs, for sure ... and he was working the room like a seasoned comic. BTW, we're told this event was packed -- upwards of 350 people were there, and he ended up talking for a total of 8 minutes, not entirely about the Germany incident of course.

Unclear if Arnold ended up selling off the Audemars Piguet watch in question -- which, BTW, had a starting bid of 50,000 euros! -- but at least he rattled off some good one-liners.

Gotta love Arnold, man ... dude knows how to tell a good story.

Pierce Brosnan no está preocupado por las acusaciones de aguas termales, de hecho, es exactamente lo contrario, aparentemente se siente fabuloso aquí en la soleada California muy lejos de sus problemas legales en Wyoming.

El actor de Bond desde hace mucho tiempo estaba en Malibú el miércoles, consolidando su sentido pionero del estilo con una chaqueta azul marino, bufanda a juego y gafas de sol. Por supuesto, también estaba mostrando una enorme sonrisa mientras recorría la ciudad, ¡sin ningún sentido de culpa en absoluto!

Pierce tenía una bolsa de sobras en la mano después de salir de un almuerzo en el restaurante Lucky y sí, su confianza es palpable, como su increíble sentido de la moda. El actor va muy elegante.

Es interesante verlo caminar sin una aparente preocupación en el mundo, recordemos que acaba de presentar una declaración de inocencia en su caso de Wyoming, donde las autoridades lo acusan de allanamiento de morada en el Parque Nacional de Yellowstone, alegando que irrumpió en la zona de aguas termales, y todo parece estar respaldado por una foto en la que aparece en un entorno similar.

Todo el mundo pensó que lo admitiría y pagaría cualquier multa que le impusieran, pero Pierce ha indicado que planea presentar algún tipo de batalla. El juez accedió a su solicitud en una conferencia virtual el 20 de febrero en lugar de una comparecencia en persona.

Como informamos anteriormente, las autoridades lo citaron el mes pasado por supuestamente ir fuera de pista cerca de Mammoth Hot Springs el 1 de noviembre, violando varias leyes.

Pierce Brosnan is unbothered by hot spring allegations -- in fact, he's the exact opposite ... apparently feeling fabulous here in sunny California ... miles from his legal woes in Wyoming.

The longtime Bond actor was out and about in Malibu Wednesday ... cementing his trailblazing sense of style in a navy blazer, matching scarf, and shades. Of course, he was also flashing a huge smile while hitting the town there ... no sense of guilt at all!

Pierce had a leftover bag in hand after leaving a lunch meeting at Lucky's restaurant ... and yes, his confidence is palpable -- as is his incredible fashion sense. Dude's looking sharp.

It's interesting that he's walking around without an apparent care in the world like this -- remember, he just entered a not guilty plea in his Wyoming case, where officials are accusing him of trespassing at the Yellowstone National Park ... claiming he waded into the hot springs area, which actually seems to be backed by a photo of him in a similar surrounding.

Everyone thought he'd cop to it and pay whatever fine they'd throw at him -- but now, PB has indicated he plans to put up a fight of some sort. BTW, the judge in his case granted his request for a virtual conference on Feb 20 instead of an in-person court appearance.

As we previously reported ... authorities cited 007 last month for allegedly going off-trail near Mammoth Hot Springs on Nov 1 -- violating several closures.

Se rumoreaba que Jacob Elordi y Olivia Jade podrían terminar, pero descubrimos que no es el caso luego de ver a la pareja aún sigue unida.

Fuentes directas nos dicen que están cien por ciento seguros de que la pareja es feliz —a pesar de un informe afirmando lo contrario— y lo más importante, nos dicen que están juntos en Nueva York en este momento. Sabemos que Jake tiene que asistir a los ensayos de esta semana antes de su show en "SNL".

Olivia ha sido vista esta semana alrededor del Rockefeller Plaza e incluso nos dicen que Olivia ha sido vista cerca del camerino de Jacob.

Sabemos que Jacob y el equipo de "SNL" están repasando el show del sábado, evidenciado en fotos, videos y detrás de cámaras que están publicando en las redes sociales y suena como que Olivia Jade está ahí con su novio.

La razón por la que la gente asumió que se habían separado —aparte del informe que afirmaba que lo habían hecho— fue porque Olivia parecía haber dejado de seguir a Jacob en Instagram, aunque no está claro si siquiera se seguían.

Jacob y Olivia han estado saliendo durante al menos un par de años y al parecer terminaron en una una ocasión solo para volver a estar juntos poco después.

Las especulaciones sobre su relación podrían radicar en el hecho de que Jacob ha tenido un gran año en su carrera, protagonizando dos películas aclamadas por la crítica y abriéndose camino.

Una vez más, todo esto comenzó justo después de un supuesto "unfollow"... los rumores se dispararon después de eso. Ahora, nuestras fuentes nos dicen que Olivia está junto a Jacob en estos momentos y probablemente estarán juntos durante el fin de semana.

Por supuesto, sería una gran noticia si ella o Elordi entran al club de la soltería, ya que pasarían rápidamente a la categoría de "los más cotizados".

Sin embargo, hay que tomárselo con calma, ya que siguen juntos

Jacob Elordi and Olivia Jade have been rumored to be on the outs -- but we know that's simply not the case ... 'cause the couple's hanging out as he gets ready for a big show.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us JE and OJ are most certainly not broken up -- despite a report claiming otherwise -- and more importantly ... we're told they're literally together in NYC right now, this as Jake goes through rehearsals this week ahead of his 'SNL' gig.

Per production sources ... Olivia has been seen this week in and around 30 Rockefeller Plaza, and we're even told Olivia's been spotted near Jacob's dressing room.

We know Jacob and the 'SNL' team are running through what they're going to put on Saturday -- evidenced in photos, videos and behind-the-scenes clips they're posting on social media -- and it sounds like Olivia Jade is in the mix back there as well with her BF.

The reason folks assumed they'd split -- aside from the report claiming they had -- was because Olivia appeared to have unfollowed Jacob on Instagram ... but TBH, it's unclear if they were even following each other, to begin with.

Jacob and Olivia have been dating for at least a few years now -- and while they did reportedly break up once before ... they ended up getting back together, and we're hearing they continue to be an item right now.

Part of the reason, perhaps, that people are speculating about their status might lie in the fact that Jacob has had a huge year in his career -- starring in two critically acclaimed films ... and paving a path for himself as a bona fide A-lister, outside of his "Euphoria" run.

Again, this all started with people seeing an alleged "unfollow" and the rumors kicked into high gear after that. From what our sources are telling us though ... Olivia's right by Jacob's side as we speak, and she'll probably be hanging around through the weekend as well.

Of course, it'd be big news if either she or Elordi were single ... they're both smoking hot and would be one of the bigger eligible bachelors/bachelorettes on the young Hollywood market.

For the time being, though ... people oughta hold their horses, 'cause they're still on.

Richard Simmons está aparentemente lo suficientemente cabreado con la película no autorizada sobre su vida, que ha decidido hablar por segunda vez en 10 años.

Richard publicó el miércoles: "Puede que hayan escuchado que pueden estar haciendo una película sobre mí con Pauly Shore. Nunca he dado mi permiso para esta película. Así que no crean todo lo que leen".

Tuvimos a Pauly Shore en "TMZ Live" recientemente y nos dijo que estaba entusiasmado con la posibilidad de hacer un documental sobre Richard y esperaba que el gurú del fitness estuviera a bordo. Claramente no lo está.

Como saben, Richard desapareció de la vista pública hace más de una década y, aparte de algunos vistazos fugaces, no se lo ha vuelto a ver desde entonces.

TMZ produjo un documental en 2022 llamado "Lo que realmente le pasó a Richard Simmons" y nuestra conclusión fue que este dejó el ojo público, en parte, porque estaba experimentando problemas físicos, en particular con sus rodillas, y también estaba agotado de su implacable falta de ayudar a casi cualquier persona con quien entraba en contacto.

En la declaración del miércoles dijo: "Solo trato de vivir una vida tranquila y estar en paz".

The Wolper Org, que está produciendo la película biográfica con Warner Bros, dijo a TMZ: "Aunque nos encantaría tenerlo involucrado, respetamos su deseo de privacidad y planeamos producir una película que lo honre, lo celebre y cuente una historia dramática".
