Olivia Newton-John was apparently a Swiftie -- at least that's what her rep says, telling us the late singer would've gotten a kick out of these Taylor Swift's 'Grease' throwback photos.

Michael Caprio, Olivia's publicist of 25 years and counting, tells TMZ ... Olivia "would be tickled" to see all the childhood pics of young Taylor playing Olivia's famous character in a school production of the hit musical ... which just surfaced earlier this week.

Olivia's publicist adds ... she "had the greatest respect for Taylor as an artist and she was a fan of her talent." So, the fact Taylor was paying homage to her in her youth is kismet.

As we reported ... some old photographs of Taylor in character as Sandy is making the rounds ... it's from June 2000, long before Taylor was the biggest star in music.

Funny enough, Olivia and Taylor actually crossed paths when ONJ was still alive ... Michael says Olivia took a group of girlfriends to see a Taylor concert in Miami in 2010, with Olivia raving about Taylor's performance.

Michael recalls Olivia telling him she thought "Taylor was such a sweet, talented and smart girl."

Sounds like the feelings are mutual ... Michael says Taylor's got a vintage concert t-shirt from Olivia's 1982 Physical Tour in her wardrobe. On its face, they were big fans of the other.

Jake Gyllenhaal came under a microscope this week after reports surfaced about alleged erratic behavior on a movie set ... but now, the film's director's clearing the air.

Here's the deal ... director Thomas Bidegain spoke with the French magazine Technikart last week where he discussed his movie "Suddenly" -- which, at one time, had Gyllenhaal and Vanessa Kirby attached before both allegedly dropped out during pre-production.

The interview detailed several alleged frenzied episodes involving Gyllenhaal ... like demanding a car that was neither "red or white," rehearsing in a ridiculous accent like the Pepé Le Pew accent, and stripping down to his undies before launching himself into the freezing ocean -- all of which was being mocked and widely discussed on social media.

Ultimately though, all of it might not be true -- 'cause while Bidegain refused to comment on the validity of those stories, he did tell Variety his issue came from creative differences with JG and VK rather than any unprofessional behavior.

TB explains it like this ... the film was still very early in the process, not shooting and not even in pre-production yet like Technikart suggested. This was in the throes of the COVID-19 pandemic, so the creative team had only spoken over Zoom when Thomas pitched the idea of meeting as a group in Iceland for a week to work on the project.

The French director said he thought they all were on the same page, but quickly realized their visions weren't in sync when they started breaking down the script together ... Kirby and Gyllenhaal apparently had entirely different opinions on the story's meaning and themes.

Bidegain says he peaced out on the trip after four of the seven days when he realized it wouldn't be a fruitful partnership ... with Thomas noting he'd never worked with an actor-producer like Gyllenhaal before ... and that, he says, created challenges.

Vanessa later contacted Bidegain about purchasing the script, Thomas claims, but he wouldn't sell ... instead making the movie with French actors -- as they seemed more in tune with his vision.

Thomas is more diplomatic in his response now ... saying he wanted to make the movie his own way. We'll admit though ... what he's quoted as claiming against Jake in the OG article is ... a little wild. BTW, this movie of his finally came out last year.

In any case, it's all water under a bridge, it seems ... and there's a lesson in this.

Jake Gyllenhaal estuvo bajo la lupa esta semana luego de que surgieran informes sobre un supuesto comportamiento errático en el set, pero ahora el director está aclarando las cosas.

Esta es la cuestión, el director Thomas Bidegain habló con la revista francesa Technikart la semana pasada sobre su película "Suddenly" que tuvo a Gyllenhaal y Vanessa Kirby antes de que ambos supuestamente abandonaran la pre-producción.

La entrevista detalla varios episodios supuestamente frenéticos que involucran a Gyllenhaal, como exigir un carro que no era ni "rojo ni blanco", ensayar en un acento ridículo como el de Pepé Le Pew, y desnudarse hasta quedar en ropa interior para sumergirse en el océano helado, todo lo cual fue objeto de burlas y ampliamente discutido en las redes sociales.

En última instancia, todo esto podría no ser verdad, porque aunque Bidegain se negó a comentar la validez de esas historias, le dijo a Variety que su problema provenía de diferencias creativas en lugar de cualquier comportamiento poco profesional.

Thomas Bidegain lo explica así: la película todavía estaba en una etapa muy temprana, no había rodado ni pre producido siquiera, como sugirió Technikart. Esto fue en plena pandemia, por lo que el equipo creativo solo había hablado por Zoom cuando Thomas lanzó la idea de reunirse en Islandia durante una semana para trabajar en el proyecto.

El director francés dijo que pensaba que todos estaban en la misma página, pero rápidamente se dio cuenta de que sus visiones no estaban alineadas cuando empezaron a desglosar el guion juntos. Al parecer, Kirby y Gyllenhaal tenían opiniones totalmente distintas sobre el significado y los temas de la historia.

Bidegain dice que abandonó el viaje después de cuatro de los siete días, cuando se dio cuenta de que no sería una asociación fructífera. Thomas señaló que nunca había trabajado con un actor-productor como Gyllenhaal antes y que eso creó desafíos.

Vanessa más tarde se puso en contacto con Bidegain sobre la compra del guion, dice Thomas, pero él le habría dicho que no lo vendería y en lugar haría la película con actores franceses, ya que parecía más en sintonía con su visión.

Thomas es más diplomático en su respuesta ahora y dice que quería hacer la película a su manera. Sin embargo, hay que admitir que lo que afirma contra Jake en el artículo de OG es... un poco descabellado. Por cierto, esta película suya finalmente salió el año pasado.

En cualquier caso, todo es agua pasada y se puede sacar una lección.

3:41 PM PT -- Two of Carl's former costars have expressed condolences for the late actor.

Arnold Schwarzenegger posted a photo of them from the set of 'Predator,' and wrote ... "Carl Weathers will always be a legend. An extraordinary athlete, a fantastic actor, and a great person. We couldn’t have made Predator without him. And we certainly wouldn’t have had such a wonderful time making it."

Dolph Lundgren of 'Rocky' fame also posted a tribute, writing ... "I was saddened to hear the news this morning. Along with the world, I will miss Carl. He was a great actor, a terrific athlete and a good friend. I cherish many special memories of Carl, both professionally and personally. Like Apollo Creed, he had that special charm that always brought a smile to your face"

Carl Weathers -- famous from a number of movies, but most prominently as Sylvester Stallone's early nemesis in the 'Rocky' movies -- has sadly died ... TMZ has confirmed.

The beloved actor passed away peacefully Thursday while surrounded by loved ones -- this according to a statement from his family. They say, "We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Carl Weathers."

They add, "He died peacefully in his sleep on Thursday, February 1st, 2024. … Carl was an exceptional human being who lived an extraordinary life. Through his contributions to film, television, the arts and sports, he has left an indelible mark and is recognized worldwide and across generations. He was a beloved brother, father, grandfather, partner, and friend."

Unclear what ailments, if any, Carl may have been battling lately ... he'd been actively acting in recent years -- and on the surface, there didn't seem to be much wrong with him.

In any case ... it's an absolute blow to showbiz -- Carl was a titan in the movie industry, with acting credits dating back to the early 1970s when he was guest starring on shows like "Good " 'Kung Fu," "S.W.A.T.," "The Six Million Dollar Man," "Cannon" "McCloud" and more.

His true big break came courtesy of Sly ... Carl was cast as the brash and bold heavyweight champ of the world, Apollo, and he was pitted against Rocky in the ring for two films.

His character stuck around for another two 'Rocky' films ... in the third one, he actually brought the Italian Stallion out of a slump and back to glory with a new type of training he'd never experienced ... making for some iconic, memorable scenes as part of a montage.

The shot of them slow-mo running on the beach, and Sly eventually pulling ahead, goes down in movie history as one of the most awesome and inspiring things caught on camera.

Apollo was killed off in "Rocky IV" -- in dramatic fashion, no less -- but his imprint in that movie franchise lives on even today ... Michael B. Jordan plays his fictional son in the 'Creed' flicks, which are still going strong -- and which continue to be cranked out in Hollywood.

Even outside of 'Rocky,' Carl's presence left an impression in just about every cult classic flick he's been a part of. Just to name a few right off the bat -- "Predator," "Happy Gilmore," "Action Jackson," "The Defiant Ones," "Braker," "Death Hunt," "Hurricane Smith," and others.

His TV credits are also quite impressive ... CW was on shows like "Fortune Dane," "Tour of Duty," "Street Justice," "In the Heat of the Night," "Brothers," "The Shield," "Arrested Development," "Chicago Justice," ... and more recently, in Star Wars' "The Mandalorian."

He'd appeared in episodes of the latter as recently as 2023. In all, he has 80 acting credits.

Outside of Hollywood, Carl was involved in noble charitable efforts -- including Lupus L.A., The L.A. Police Memorial Foundation, The PEACE Fund and The Tower Cancer Research Foundation.

Prior to his acting career, Weathers played for the Oakland Raiders from 1970-1971 ... and the team addressed the tragic loss in a statement Friday afternoon.

"Always a proud Raider, Weathers will be missed dearly by his Raiders Family and his many fans worldwide," the team said. "Our deepest condolences are with the Weathers family at this time."

He's survived by his two sons. Carl was 76.

RIP

Carl Weathers, famoso por una serie de películas, pero sobre todo por las primeras películas de Sylvester Stallone, "Rocky", ha muerto ... TMZ ha confirmado.

El querido actor falleció en paz el jueves mientras estaba rodeado de sus seres queridos. Esto, de acuerdo a una declaración de su familia, quienes dicen: "Estamos profundamente tristes de anunciar el fallecimiento de Carl Weathers".

Y añaden: "Murió pacíficamente mientras dormía el jueves 1 de febrero de 2024. ... Carl fue un ser humano excepcional que vivió una vida extraordinaria. A través de sus contribuciones al cine, la televisión, las artes y los deportes, ha dejado una huella indeleble y es reconocido en todo el mundo y por generaciones. Era un hermano, padre, abuelo, compañero y amigo muy querido".

No está claro con qué dolencias, si es que había alguna, podría haber estado luchando Carl últimamente. Había estado actuando activamente en los últimos años, y en la superficie, no parecía que estuviera mal.

En cualquier caso, es un duro golpe para el mundo del espectáculo: Carl era un titán en la industria del cine, con créditos como actor que se remontan a principios de los años 70, cuando actuaba como estrella invitada en series como "Good Times", "Kung Fu", "S.W.A.T.", "The Six Million Dollar Man", "Cannon", "McCloud" y muchas más.

Su verdadera gran oportunidad llegó de la mano de Sly. Carl interpretó al audaz campeón de los pesos pesados, Apollo, y se enfrentó a Rocky en el ring en dos películas.

Su personaje se mantuvo en otras dos películas de "Rocky". En la tercera, sacó al Semental Italiano de un bache y lo devolvió a la gloria con un nuevo tipo de entrenamiento que nunca había experimentado, lo que dio lugar a algunas escenas icónicas y memorables.

La escena en la que corren por la playa en cámara lenta, donde Sly acaba adelantándose, pasará a la historia como una de las más impresionantes captadas por una cámara.

Apollo murió en "Rocky IV", nada menos que de forma dramática, pero su huella en la franquicia cinematográfica perdura aún hoy. Michael B. Jordan interpreta a su hijo ficticio en las películas de "Creed", que aún siguen produciéndose en Hollywood.

Incluso fuera de "Rocky", la presencia de Carl ha dejado huella en casi todas las películas de culto en las que participó. Por nombrar solo algunas: "Predator", "Happy Gilmore", "Action Jackson", "Los desafiantes", "Braker", "Death Hunt", "Hurricane Smith" y otras.

Sus créditos televisivos también son bastante impresionantes. Estuvo en series como "Fortune Dane", "Tour of Duty", "Street Justice", "In the Heat of the Night", "Brothers", "The Shield", "Arrested Development", "Chicago Justice" y más recientemente, "The Mandalorian" de Star Wars. En esta última, apareció en episodios tan recientes como 2023.

En total, tiene 80 créditos como actor.

Fuera de Hollywood, Carl estuvo involucrado en nobles esfuerzos caritativos, incluyendo Lupus L.A., La Fundación L.A. Police Memorial, El Fondo PEACE y La Fundación Tower Cancer Research.

Le sobreviven sus dos hijos. Carl tenía 76 años.

Issa Rae has a bone to pick with Hollywood execs ... accusing them of copping out of their promises to increase diversity onscreen ... and continuing to live in the Stone Age.

The "Insecure" creator/actress lays out her thoughts about the current state of the entertainment industry to TIME ... saying she hasn't seen Hollywood so scared, clueless and at the mercy of Wall Street, and stating there are no more smart execs around anymore.

Issa's firm on her stance ... saying that many have aged out, holding onto their position with iron-clad claws and refusing to let young blood in to get that much-needed representation on the big screen. In other words, a bunch of old heads are still calling the shots -- and Issa seems to think they're screwing the pooch 'cause they're out of touch.

A main point she's trying to make is that conglomerate leaders should stay in their lane, focusing on the business side of things rather than making big creative decisions they know nothing about.

One such example -- Issa says these execs haven't caught onto the fact that social media has changed the way we consume entertainment ... saying the only people taking risks are on platforms like TikTok, adding, "That's what's getting the eyeballs of the youth. So you're killing your own industry."

Though, the "Barbie" star ain't blind to the harsh realities of keeping up with the evolving industry herself ... she's had her reality series, "Sweet Life: Los Angeles," canceled, and she also had to lay off 8 staff members amid the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes last year.

But, she's staying true to her brand identity and will continue fighting to have diverse stories told on the big screen.

Issa Rae tiene cosas que decir de los ejecutivos de Hollywood, a quienes acusa de evadir sus promesas de aumentar la diversidad en pantalla y seguir viviendo en la Edad de Piedra.

La creadora y actriz de "Insecure" expuso sus pensamientos sobre el estado de la industria del entretenimiento en TIME, donde dijo que no ha visto a Hollywood tan asustado, despistado y a merced de Wall Street como hoy, y que ya no hay ejecutivos inteligentes.

Issa es firme en su postura. Dice que muchos han envejecido y se han aferrado a su posición con garras de hierro, negando el ingreso de gente joven para conseguir esa tan necesaria representación en pantalla. En otras palabras, un puñado de cabezas viejas siguen estando al mando y según Issa la están cagando porque están fuera de onda.

El principal punto que está tratando de hacer es que los líderes de los conglomerados deben permanecer en su carril y centrarse en los negocios en lugar de tomar grandes decisiones creativas de las cuales no saben nada.

Un ejemplo de ello, dice Issa, es que los ejecutivos no han captado que las redes sociales han cambiado la forma en que consumimos entretenimiento y dice que las únicas personas que toman riesgos están en plataformas como TikTok. Agregó: "Eso es lo que está recibiendo los globos oculares de los jóvenes. Así que estás matando a tu propia industria".

Aunque la estrella de "Barbie" tampoco es ciega a las dificultades de mantenerse al día en una industria en constante evolución. Su propia serie "Sweet Life: Los Ángeles" fue cancelada y el año pasado también tuvo que despedir a 8 miembros de su plantilla durante las huelgas de la WGA y SAG-AFTRA.

Pese a todo, ella se mantiene fiel a su identidad de marca y seguirá luchando por tener diversas historias en la pantalla grande.

Taylor Swift has had performing in her blood for a long, long time -- evident in the fact that she once played Sandy in a kid-version of "Grease" ... and the photos are adorable.

Actor/comedian Tobin Mitnick threw up some photos he has in his possession that show him acting alongside Tay Tay in a children's version of the famed musical/film -- and TM seems to be playing Danny Zuko, whereas Taylor is playing Olivia Newton John's character.

There's 3 pics total, and it looks like Tobin/Tay were good pals during this production way back in the day -- it also seems like they were giving their all, in rehearsal or otherwise.

Tobin writes, "Thank you mom for digging these pics of @taylorswift and I harmonizing like buttah on summer nights twenty five years ago out of storage. Also trav the note is an f-sharp if youre interested. June 2000."

Of course, everyone saw these and is losing their minds over the fact that Taylor as a child is cute as hell -- not to mention the fact that this low-key telegraphed her future ... obviously, she went on to become one of the biggest pop stars ever.

Funny enough, Tobin seems to have alluded to this play last year -- and he says it didn't get nearly as much attention at the time. Welp, if he didn't have pics back then, that's probably why.

Anyway, it's cool stuff -- but the obvious question with this is ... who has the video???

Seeing how this "Grease" play went down in the early aughts, ya gotta figure one of the parents from back then had their giant camcorder out and was rolling from inside an auditorium somewhere.

Taylor has actually addressed the fact she was in "Grease" as a kiddo -- not to mention other musicals/plays -- and now ... here's the proof! Based on what we can see, she was a natural and then some.

The late ONJ probably would've been proud to see the great Taylor Swift doing her best Sandy. Lots of good songs for her to belt out, and we're sure she absolutely crushed.

Taylor Swift ha llevado la actuación en la sangre por mucho, mucho tiempo, y unas adorables fotos demuestran que alguna vez interpretó a Sandy de "Grease".

El actor y comediante Tobin Mitnick publicó algunas fotos que lo muestran actuando junto a Tay Tay en una versión infantil del famoso musical y película. Tobin parece estar interpretando a Danny Zuko, mientras que Taylor al personaje de Olivia Newton John.

Hay tres fotos en total y parece que Tobin/Tay eran buenos amigos durante esta producción. También parece que lo dieron todo en los ensayos o de otra manera.

Tobin escribe: "Gracias mamá por desenterrar estas fotos mías y de @taylorswift, armonizando en unas noches de verano veinticinco años atrás. La nota es un fa sostenido si te interesa. Junio 2000".

Por supuesto, todo el mundo vio esto y está perdiendo la cabeza al ver lo tierna que era Taylor cuando niña, por no mencionar que esta pequeña actuación vaticinaba su futuro ... Hoy es una de las estrellas del pop más grandes de la historia.

Curiosamente, parece que Tobin hizo alusión a esta obra el año pasado, pero no recibió tanta atención. Bueno, si no tenía fotos en ese entonces, ese puede ser el motivo.

De todos modos, la pregunta obvia es, ¿quién tiene el video?

Viendo cómo se llevó a cabo esta obra de "Grease", se tienen que imaginar que alguno de los padres andaba con su videocámara gigante fuera y estaba rodando desde el interior de un auditorio en alguna parte.

Taylor ha dicho que estuvo en "Grease" cuando era niña, por no hablar de otros musicales y obras de teatro, y ¡aquí está la prueba! Basándonos en esto, la actuación era natural en ella.

La difunta Olivia Newton Johns probablemente habría estado orgullosa de ver a la gran Taylor Swift haciendo su mejor Sandy. Un par de buenas canciones para ella y estamos seguros de que debe haber sido un éxito rotundo.

Brad Pitt y Quentin Tarantino están de vuelta. El dúo se reunirá para la décima y última película del director, "The Movie Critic".

Pitt ganó con el Oscar al Mejor Actor de Reparto por su último papel con Quentin en "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" de 2019, y su primer trabajo juntos fue en "Inglorious Basterds" de 2009,la cual también generó toneladas de elogios. Ámbos han forjado una amistad fuera cámaras y no sorprende que sigan juntos en el camino.

Deadline informa que la nueva película se estrenará en 2025 y que la productora Stacey Sher, que trabajó en "Pulp Fiction" en 1994, se ha incorporado como productora, así que está claro que estará en buenas manos. Sony también supuestamente recogió los derechos de distribución de la película.

Quentin no ha profundizado demasiado en la premisa de la película, pero sabemos que se basa en la vida de un crítico de cine a finales de 1970, según el título.

El rodaje tendrá lugar en L.A., Quentin dijo en una declaración que comenzó a dirigir películas en California, por lo que era lógico que rodaría su última película en su ciudad natal y capital mundial del cine.

Quentin ha dejado claro desde hace tiempo que solo dirigiría 10 películas, diciéndole a Playboy en 2022 que no creía que los directores mejoraran con la edad, de hecho, se dio cuenta de que estaban fuera de contacto con lo que el público quería, haciendo de sus últimas cuatro películas sus peores.

Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino are back at it ... the duo will be reuniting for the director's tenth and final film, "The Movie Critic."

Pitt walked away with the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his last collab with Q in 2019's "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood" ... and their first collab in 2009's "Inglorious Basterds" also generated tons of praise -- so signing up for another round of acclaim was clearly a no-brainer for the actor, 'cause he's coming back for thirds with QT.

Deadline reports the new movie's eyeing up a 2025 release & producer Stacey Sher, who worked on QT's 1994 hit "Pulp Fiction," has hopped on board as producer ... so it'll clearly be in good hands. Sony's also supposedly picked up the film's distribution rights.

Quentin has not delved too deep into the movie's premise -- but we know it's based on the life of a movie critic in the late 1970s, as per the title.

Filming will be taking place in his L.A ... Quentin said in a previous statement he started directing movies in Cali ... so it was only fitting he'd shoot his final motion picture in his hometown and cinema capital of the world.

QT's long made it clear he would only direct 10 movies ... telling Playboy back in 2022 that he didn't believe directors got better with age -- in fact, he noticed they got out of touch with what audiences wanted, making their last 4 films their worst.

Film producer Bradley Thomas -- who helped make "Killers of the Flower Moon" -- has suffered an unimaginable tragedy ... his wife took her own life this week, TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell us Isabelle Thomas jumped from a balcony at the Hotel Angeleno in the West L.A. area Monday night -- and we're told she was discovered dead at the scene when first responders arrived. Our sources tell us she leaped from a high-up floor.

Our law enforcement sources also say no suicide note was left behind.

Her death case is currently with the Medical Examiner's Office -- and they list it as a suicide. The official cause is attributed to multiple traumatic injuries ... consistent with a major fall.

Isabelle and Brad had been married since 2018, and they share two young children together -- and they were even pictured as recently as Jan. 13 at a public event.

It's a tragic turn of events for BT, no doubt, who's in the middle of Oscar season thanks to a movie he produced that's up for Best Picture -- namely, "Killers of the Flower Moon." He's produced tons of other movies over the years ... "Dumb and Dumber," "There's Something About Mary," "Kingpin," "Shallow Hal," "All the Money in the World," "Triangle of Sadness," etc.

Isabelle is survived by her husband and their two children. She was only 39.

RIP

El productor de cine Bradley Thomas, que ayudó a hacer "Killers of the Flower Moon", ha sufrido una tragedia inimaginable: su esposa se quitó la vida esta semana, según ha averiguado TMZ.

Fuentes policiales nos dicen que Isabelle Thomas saltó desde un balcón del Hotel Angeleno en el área de West L.A. el lunes por la noche, y nos dicen que fue encontrada en la escena cuando llegaron los primeros auxilios. Nuestras fuentes dicen que saltó desde un piso alto.

También dicen que no se dejó ninguna nota de suicidio.

Su caso se encuentra actualmente en la Oficina del Médico Forense y está siendo calificado como un suicidio. La causa oficial se atribuye a múltiples lesiones traumáticas a causa de una caída importante.

Isabelle y Brad estaban casados desde 2018 y tienen dos hijos pequeños. Fueron fotografiados juntos tan recientemente como el 13 de enero en un evento público.

Se trata de un giro trágico para Bradley, sin duda, que se encuentra en plena temporada de Oscar gracias a "Killers of the Flower Moon", una película producida por él que opta a Mejor Película. Thomas ha producido montones de otras películas a lo largo de los años, como "Dumb and Dumber", "There's Something About Mary", "Kingpin", "Shallow Hal", "All the Money in the World", "Triangle of Sadness", etc.

A Isabelle le sobreviven su marido y sus dos hijos. Solo tenía 39 años.

Que en paz descanse.

Sophie Turner está recibiendo una buena dosis de críticas por su rol como madre, a partir de un viaje que hizo con algunos amigos a la nieve, y por suerte para ella, sus fans la están apoyando, o al menos algunos de ellos.

Todo este lío comenzó cuando la estrella de "Game of Thrones" compartió unas fotos en Instagram esquiando con su novio Peregrine Pearson y sus amigos, con el comentario: "¿Alguien quiere Jägerbomb?". Claramente, solo era un post divertido donde aparecía disfrutando y viviendo su vida, aunque los trolls de Internet no pensaban lo mismo y se lo hicieron saber en masa en sus comentarios.

Por desgracia para ella, se despertó una intensa indignación hacia Sophie por tener la audacia de disfrutar de su tiempo libre sin la presencia de sus hijas, sobre todo porque sus últimos meses han estado llenos de drama con el divorcio de Joe Jonas.

Sus comentarios estaban plagados de preguntas sobre el paradero de sus hijas, con algunos incluso exigiendo que "fuera una madre", y aunque Sophie al parecer trató de eliminar algunos de estos comentarios, varios se filtraron y otros fans saltaron en su defensa.

Un leal fanático puso el recordatorio de que a las mujeres se les permite tener una identidad fuera de ser madre, otro, en tanto, criticó la doble moral sexista diciendo que no había ninguna indignación relacionada con los niños en el Instagram de Joe Jonas.

Otros señalaron que en una situación de acuerdo de custodia, una madre tiene vía libre para salir y disfrutar de su vida cuando no tiene a los niños, no está condenada a estar lejos del mundo tejiendo y horneando galletas, como sus enemigos parecen pensar.

En el caso de Sophie, ella recientemente llegó a un acuerdo amistoso de custodia con Joe después de meses de turbulencias luego de la solicitud de divorcio en septiembre pasado.

Las cosas se complicaron un poco después. Sophie citó una ley de "secuestro de menores", alegando que Joe estaba impidiendo que sus dos hijas viajaran al Reino Unido reteniendo sus pasaportes, a pesar de que pidió a un juez que desestime la demanda el mes pasado.

Sophie Turner's getting a serious dose of mommy shaming over a skiing trip with some pals -- and luckily for her, her fans have got her back ... well, some of them do anyway.

This whole mess kicked off when the 'GoT' star recently shared IG snaps of herself hitting the slopes with her boyfriend, Peregrine Pearson, and their pals ... writing, "Jägerbomb anyone?" Clearly just a fun post showing her enjoying herself and living her life ... although, trolls felt very differently about it, and they let her know en masse in her comments.

Unfortunately for her, there was intense outrage over Sophie having the audacity to enjoy some downtime without the presence of her kiddos -- especially since her last few months have been rife with Joe Jonas divorce drama.

Her comments were rife with questions about children's whereabouts -- with some demanding she oughta "be a mom" -- and while ST reportedly attempted to delete some of these remarks, some still filtered through ... and other fans jumped to her defense.

One loyal supporter put out a reminder that women were allowed to have an identity outside of being a mother -- and another called out the sexist double standard ... saying there was no kid-related outrage over on JJ's IG.

Others pointed out that in a custody agreement situation, a mother has free reign to go out and enjoy her life when she didn't have the kids -- not be locked away from the world while knitting and baking cookies, which the haters seem to think was normal.

In Sophie's case, she recently came to an amicable custody agreement with Joe after months of turbulence put in motion by his divorce filing in September last year.

Things got messy soon after ... Sophie cited a whole "child abduction" law, claiming Joe was preventing their 2 children from traveling to see her in the UK by allegedly withholding their passports -- though she asked a judge to dismiss the claim last month.

Brad Pitt ain't about giving away his acting secrets ... just ask Donald Glover.

Donald's starring in the new series "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" alongside Maya Erskine -- a reboot of the 2005 film starring Pitt and Angelina Jolie, but Donald says the megastar wasn't exactly keen on passing on the torch.

Donald said Brad skirted giving him advice for the high-octane action series. He was on the 'Tonight Show' with Jimmy Fallon when he revealed a meeting with Brad didn't amount to much.

In fact, he says Brad didn't dish out any actual pointers on how Glover could take on the role. DG added, he "kind of Brad Pitted his way out of it" -- in Layman's terms, he just charmed his way through their interaction, and let him know he'd do a great job.

It's no surprise Glover was fishing for advice from Brad -- especially since "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" was a runaway hit on the big screen ... with its leads having spectacular onscreen chemistry and even falling in love IRL while filming -- something Glover's costar Maya said put heaps of pressure on her.

Maya said they were asked to "sex it up" for the show ... with a photog from the show's promo shoot even asking them to channel their inner sexual animal -- which she says was a worm.

Not really the vibes he was going for, Maya!!
