Jada Pinkett Smith had a terrifying incident go down at her Los Angeles Area home earlier this week -- cops say two men climbed onto her balcony while she was inside!

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the men wearing hoodies attempted to break in a little before 8 PM thinking the coast was clear -- but we're told they were scared off when the "Red Table Talk" host saw them.

Police responded to the scene ... but our sources say the suspects had long taken off and were nowhere to be found.

Unclear if Jada was the target or if this was just a crew hitting nice homes in and around the L.A. area.

We're told deputies took an attempted burglary report ... and the case is now under investigation.

Jada's been separated from hubby Will for a few years now, and though they're apparently still on pretty good terms, especially in the aftermath of that Oscars slap, it's highly unlikely that he was with her at the time of the break-in.

Cops say it's unclear whether she had other company at the time ... or was alone.

Speaking of being alone, Jada said last year she and Will would eventually move back in together. That clearly hasn't happened yet.

New Hollywood bromance alert ... Glen Powell and Johnny Manziel are apparently buddies, because they partied their faces off together in the desert.

TMZ obtained video of Glen and Johnny hanging out last night at Casa Amigos Tacos and Tequila in Scottsdale, where Johnny Football had a VIP section.

Folks who were there say Johnny was already in the club when Glen showed up and joined the group.

We're told this wasn't a coincidence ... Johnny and Glen clearly planned to hang out, and their group of about a dozen were mostly hot chicks.

As you can see, Glen is chatting up a woman in one of the videos ... and we're told they stayed close throughout the night.

Johnny meanwhile, was talking to several different ladies ... and we're told there was no drama and everyone seemed to be in good spirits, with JM and GP partying for at least a few hours.

Glen was in town to play golf in Wednesday's Pro-Am at the WM Phoenix Open ... Johnny wasn't golfing, but he's never turned down a good time.

It's an interesting pairing ... Johnny won the Heisman Trophy at Texas A&M and Glen studied at the University of Texas at Austin before heading to Hollywood. The schools are big rivals, but it's more of a big brother-little brother type deal.

Taylor Swift's ex-BFs usually serve as inspo for her songs ... but one particular track from her upcoming album shouts out a famed silent film actress -- whose family is loving it.

TayTay's song, 'Clara Bow,' is one of the cuts featured on her forthcoming 'Tortured Poets Department' album -- and fans were rife with excitement/speculation over what it could mean ... as there are many ways to interpret this.

Clara was one of the first movie stars of her day back in the 1920s -- and she also got a ton of media attention/scrutiny ... which ended in tragic fashion (more on this later).

Anyway, because of the historical significance ... many have taken this song to be an important on 'TPD' -- but either way ... Clara's real-life descendants are incredibly appreciative of the spotlight T-Swift is shedding on their ancestor.

Clara's great-granddaughter Brittany Grace Bell tells TMZ ... their family is hoping the attention from the pop idol can highlight Clara's many accolades and talents -- rather than the media scrutiny and gossip she was subjected to during her career.

We're told TS's team never got in contact with her family over the song ... but Brittany says she'd love to connect with them to find out exactly what prompted the track's name and get more of the backstory. She's absolutely over the moon about it ... she'd like to link up.

As for her own theory, BGB tells us she thinks TayTay can relate to her legendary great-grandmother 'cause she's a modern-day "IT girl," and Clara was the original "It" girl.

Brittany also addresses fan speculation that Taylor may have dropped a major Easter Egg of the musical tribute with her recent Grammys look.

People noticed TS wore a necklace similar to the one Clara was photographed wearing back in the day -- leaving Brittany fascinated over whether Clara actually inspired the outfit.

As for all the attention she's now receiving, Brittany tells us she thinks Clara would be thrilled to see her family name live on and have a new generation hear her story/learn about her life.

While Brittany says she hopes the reaction is positive, she says we'll just have to wait and see what the song's lyrics are like before she can make any further judgments.

We should mention ... Clara's life was challenging -- with issues ranging from mental health struggles and beyond -- and many look back on her story as a cautionary tale, which is why Taylor invoking her name has piqued curiosity ... as many see it as ominous commentary.

Barry Keoghan is keeping his relationship status a closely guarded secret ... refusing to say if rumored GF Sabrina Carpenter is his Valentine -- even though we all know the deal.

We talked to BK out in Los Angeles Thursday afternoon and -- in between doling out signatures and taking selfies with a bunch of fans -- we asked Barry if he had a Valentine, specifically Carpenter, this year ... and he gave us something of a non-answer answer.

Check out the vid ... Barry doesn't answer the question and instead simply repeats the questions with a mischievous grin on his face -- before posing for another selfie and taking off down the alley.

He doesn't flat-out deny having a Valentine ... so, it seems his rumored romance with Sabrina's still going strong. A number of outlets are reporting the pair got nice and cozy at a post-Grammys bash earlier this week.

As we reported ... Barry and his ex-wife Alyson Kierans reportedly split in 2023 about a year after welcoming son Brando together. Keoghan seemingly confirmed the news during an interview GQ published last month.

The couple's been spotted out a few times together in previous months ... with paps catching them on a dinner date in Brentwood in early December and fans taking some quick pics at an interactive museum in L.A. in January. They've also posed together at events ... so the cat's outta the bag, really. You'd never be able to tell from BK's response to us though!

We also asked Barry Keoghan if he wants a bathwater-scented candle created in his honor, like the one made for his pal and costar Jacob Elordi based on their iconic and disturbing bathtub scene in "Saltburn" ... and Keoghan jokes he hopes to reach that milestone one day!

It appears Barry's love life is staying in the zipped-lips realm for now ... though his tongue-in-cheek body language may be another indication he's going steady with Sabrina.

Ben Affleck's not taking questions about the alleged kiss he shared with Britney Spears ... with even the mention of the moment putting him in a seemingly sour mood.

The actor was walking down the street in Santa Monica Friday when a photog fired a question at him in Spanish ... a language in which Ben's pretty much fluent, and it sure seems like he fully understood this question.

Check out the vid ... Ben's face breaks into a big grin when he hears the pap greet him in Spanish -- possibly excited at breaking out his bilingual skills -- but then he quickly gets, "Is it true what Britney Spears said about you that you and she shared a kiss??"

Once the full question is out, Ben's expression totally changes ... smile gone and exasperatedly shaking his head as he walks swiftly to his car and drives off.

BA's clearly not happy about having this question directed at him ... all triggered by one of Britney's social media posts.

As we previously reported ... BS shared a throwback snap of herself with Ben and legendary songwriter Diane Warren, and claimed she made out with Ben on the same night the photo was taken back in 1999.

She also implied a lot more happened before they locked lips, but didn't share exactly what she meant by that with fans.

The comment raised a lot of eyebrows ... after all, Britney just released her memoir packed full of bombshell revelations -- so it's odd she seemed to have left this out. She's claiming she completely forgot about it which seems unlikely, to say the least.

She later took down the post -- an added layer of drama -- but it appears that move isn't quelling interest in what is, at this point, just a rumor she's created.

Brad Pitt sabía que Bradley Cooper iba a ser una estrella, no por las actuaciones que le valieron nominaciones al Oscar, sino que por un papel más cómico.

El actor de 60 años subió al escenario del Festival Internacional de Cine de Santa Bárbara el jueves para darle a su compadre de 49 años el Premio al Mejor Intérprete del Año por su papel de Leonard Bernstein en "Maestro", una película que también dirigió y co-escribió.

Fue un gran honor para el evento y le dio a Brad Pitt la oportunidad de hablar sobre el trabajo de Cooper en el tiempo, incluyendo el momento en que supo que iba a ser grande.

Por cierto, "Maestro" es la quinta actuación por la que Cooper recibe una nominación al Premio de la Academia, pero Pitt no hizo alusión a ninguna de esas actuaciones, en su lugar se deshizo en elogios por su papel en "The Hangover".

Pitt señaló las sutiles complejidades de la actuación de Cooper y cómo el actor mejoró la película desde el lado de la pantalla en un sentido. ¡Bastante impresionante para una película cuyo uno de sus personajes principales es un tigre!

El ganador del Oscar no solo habló de "The Hangover". También se refirió a la actuación de Cooper en "A Star is Born" y su rol de director, señalando cómo Bradley logró de alguna manera equilibrar sus escenas emocionales bebiendo con su capacidad para tener un ojo en el equipo y asegurarse de que estaba recibiendo la toma perfecta.

Brad añadió: "Hacer eso muy, muy bien es poco menos que perfecto".

Esperemos que la Academia piense lo mismo. Cooper es candidato a Mejor Actor por su papel en "Maestro" en los Oscar de este año.

Brad Pitt knew Bradley Cooper was gonna be a star ... not because of his Oscar-nominated performances -- but because of a more comedic role.

The 60-year-old actor hit the stage at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Thursday to give his 49-year-old compadre the Outstanding Performer of the Year Award for his part as Leonard Bernstein in "Maestro" -- a movie he also directed and co-wrote.

It's a top honor at the event ... and it gave BP the opportunity to talk about Cooper's work through the years -- including the moment he knew BC was gonna be big.

"Maestro" is the fifth performance for which Cooper received an acting Academy Award nod BTW ... but Pitt didn't point to any of those performances -- instead he heaped praise on Cooper for his role in "The Hangover."

Pitt pointed out the subtle intricacies of Cooper's performance -- saying so many of the moments Cooper makes great have very little to do with him ... improving the film from the side of the screen in a sense. Pretty impressive for a movie where one of the main characters is a tiger!

The Oscar-winner didn't just talk about "The Hangover" though ... he also brought up Cooper's "A Star is Born" performance and direction -- noting Cooper somehow balanced emotional drunk acting scenes while also keeping an eye on the crew to make sure he's getting the perfect shot.

Brad added, "To do that really, really well is nothing short of perfect."

Hopefully, the Academy feels the same way ... Cooper's up for Best Actor for his role in the movie at this year's Oscars -- an award he's 0-for-3 on so far.

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good are still going strong after his assault trial conviction ... and they've even bonded further while living in NYC, and taking a cross-country road trip together.

Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... they're easy to spot around lower Manhattan's Greenwich Village, where they're constantly walking their dog.

Not only that, but our sources say the couple's been, basically, inseparable -- although we're told Meagan's going back to work on the TV show "Harlem" next week ... so, they'll probably be spending a bit more time apart.

MG and JM haven't been spotted out together in a while, BTW ... photogs last snapping them in public way back in December, but there seems to be a good reason for that -- they were recently out on the open road, driving coast-to-coast.

We're told the pair drove all the way from L.A. to NYC, with a quick pit stop in Dallas to see Majors' mother, Terri ... to whom Meagan got close during Jonathan's trial.

The couple just got back to New York within the last week.

It's not surprising they've kept a low profile over the past couple months ... all eyes were on Meagan and Jonathan during the trial which ended with the jury finding him guilty on one count of reckless assault in the third degree and one count of harassment. He was acquitted on 2 other charges.

As Majors himself told us, he's relying a lot on God and faith in the aftermath of his conviction and leading up to his sentencing in April.

Jonathan Majors y Meagan Good siguen juntos después de su condena de juicio por asalto, y a pesar de que viven en Nueva York, están en medio de un viaje por la carretera a través del país juntos.

Fuentes cercanas a la pareja le dicen a TMZ que son fáciles de detectar en torno a Greenwich Village del Bajo Manhattan, donde están constantemente paseando a su perro.

No solo eso, nuestras fuentes nos informan que la pareja ha sido inseparable, aunque nos dicen que Meagan va a volver a trabajar en el programa de televisión "Harlem" la próxima semana, por lo que probablemente, van a pasar un poco más de tiempo separados.

Meagan y Jonathan no han sido vistos juntos por un tiempo. fotógrafos última instantánea de ellos en público camino de vuelta en diciembre, pero parece que hay una buena razón para que - que fueron recientemente en la carretera, la conducción de costa a costa.

Nos dicen que la pareja condujo todo el camino desde Los Ángeles a Nueva York, con una parada rápida en Dallas para ver a la madre de Majors -Terri- a quien Meagan se le acercó durante el juicio de Jonathan.

La pareja acaba de regresar a Nueva York durante la última semana.

No es de extrañar que han mantenido un perfil bajo los últimos meses, todos los ojos estaban puestos en Meagan y Jonathan durante el juicio que terminó con el jurado declarándolo culpable de un cargo de asalto imprudente en tercer grado y un cargo de acoso. Fue absuelto de otros dos cargos.

Como el propio Majors nos dijo, está confiando mucho en Dios... Recordemos que debe asistir a su condena en abril.

Don Rickles no puede grabar nuevas líneas para "Toy Story 5", pero su hija espera que Disney tenga más audios archivados de su padre que puedan utilizar, pues quiere que este aparezca en la película ... ha averiguado TMZ.

Por si no lo saben, el miércoles se anunció que la quinta entrega de la película animada tiene fecha de lanzamiento para el 2026. Aún no tenemos detalles del elenco, pero Rickles, quien interpretó al Sr. Cara de Papa en las primeras cuatro entregas, falleció en 2017.

Hablamos con Mindy Rickles, la hija del fallecido actor y comediante, quien nos dice que Disney o Pixar aún no se ha comunicado sobre un plan para usar la voz de Don, lo cual es interesante teniendo en cuenta que el Sr. Cara de Papa es un personaje clave en el filme.

De hecho, Mindy tiene tan poca información que ni siquiera sabía que se había anunciado una "Toy Story 5" y no tiene ni idea si planean usar su voz o la refundición de MPH.

Con eso dicho, Mindy nos dice que le da permiso a la franquicia para utilizar la voz de su padre a través de imágenes que podrían haber dejado y escondido en la bóveda durante los años. Pero tiene que ser realmente su padre porque no le parece el uso de la IA.

Este no es un concepto nuevo. "Toy Story 4" se estrenó en 2019, unos dos años después de la muerte de Don y él no había grabado una sola línea para la película en ese momento.

El equipo se puso creativo y seleccionó líneas no utilizadas de las tres primeras películas, parques temáticos, videojuegos asociados e incluso para el espectáculo "Disney On Ice: Toy Story" para reconstruir su parte. Eso es exactamente lo que Mindy quiere que ocurra ahora.

No está claro exactamente cuánto más diálogo podría tener Disney de Don, pero con la muerte de la actriz que interpretaba a la Sra. Cara de Papa, Estelle Harris, en 2022, los creativos detrás de "Toy Story" podrían solo decir que la pareja se fue con otra familia, como pasó con Wheezy el pingüino y Bo Peep entre la segunda y tercera película. Por supuesto, también podrían conseguir nuevos actores de doblaje.

Don Rickles can't record new lines for "Toy Story 5" -- but his daughter's hoping Disney has more archived audio to use, 'cause she wants her dad in the flick ... TMZ has learned.

ICYMI ... the fifth installment of the beloved animated franchise got a 2026 release date, announced Wednesday. We don't have cast details yet, but Rickles -- who played Mr. Potato Head in the first four installments of the franchise -- passed away in 2017.

We spoke to Mindy Rickles -- the daughter of the late great actor and comedian -- and she tells us ... Disney or Pixar has not yet reached out about a plan to use Don's voice, which is interesting considering Potato Head is a huge character in the franchise.

In fact -- MR was so in the dark, she says, that she didn't even know "Toy Story 5" was announced ... and doesn't have a clue if they plan on using his voice, or recasting MPH.

With that said ... Mindy tells us she's giving the franchise two thumbs up to use her dad's vocals via footage they might have left over and stashed away in the vault over the years -- but it's gotta really be him ... because she says AI's a no-go for her.

This isn't a new concept ... "Toy Story 4" came out in 2019 -- about two years after Don passed away and he hadn't recorded a single line of dialogue for the movie at the time.

The 'TS4' team got creative and cherry-picked unused lines he recorded for the first three movies, theme parks, associated video games, and even the 'Disney On Ice: Toy Story' show to piece together his part. That's exactly what Mindy tells us she wants to happen now.

It's unclear exactly how much more dialogue Disney might have from Don ... but with Mrs. Potato Head actress Estelle Harris' death in 2022, the creatives behind 'Toy Story' might just say the couple's moved on to another family -- like Wheezy the singing penguin and Bo Peep between the second and third movies. Of course, they could just get new voice actors too.

Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower" is hitting at a new, historic milestone -- the 2018 duet was certified Double Diamond, aka 20 million sold, putting it in a class all of its own!!!

Both artists were equally excited when they hugged it out at the award ceremony Thursday in celebration of their achievement, and posed for pics with their managers and label teams.

RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier said the Carter Lang/Louis-produced track raised the bar for collaborations going forward, and it'll probably take a new-age "We Are The World" moment to even approach its success.

When the song broke the all-time record at 17x Platinum, Post told TMZ Hip Hop that having Swae in the studio was the secret sauce needed for making the track so huge.

La película biográfica de Michael Jackson está en plena producción y uno se puede dar cuenta de ello al ver que Colman Domingo y Nia Long en el set, interpretando a los personajes de los padres del cantante.

Los dos actores aparecieron vestidos y maquillados el miércoles en Los Ángeles, para grabar "Michael", que es la primera película oficial sobre la vida del fallecido y gran artista, y Colman y Nia están haciendo el papel de Joe y Katherine Jackson.

Echa un vistazo a las fotos: Colman Domingo y Nia Long se ven prácticamente irreconocibles como la madre y padre de Michael, y por cierto, no fueron solo ellos los que aparecieron en el set. También estaban algunos actores infantiles, quienes presumiblemente interpretarán las versiones jóvenes de los Jackson 5, listos para filmar.

Al igual que Colman y Nia, el actor infantil Juliano Valdi está dando con el look de un joven Michael Jackson, con un afro y una bata azul.

Felicitaciones para el departamento de casting porque todos se ven fantásticos.

Como ustedes probablemente saben, Antoine Fuqua está dirigiendo la película, la que pretende contar la historia de un "hombre brillante pero complicado". Esta película cuenta con la bendición de los herederos de Michael, lo que ha levantado cejas en algunos, pero ha sido recibido como una gran noticia por otros.

El sobrino real de Michael Jackson, Jaafar Jackson está retratando al Rey del Pop y de todas las fotos que hemos visto de él hasta ahora, se ve como una copia fiel de su fallecido tío. La familia de Michael también está participando en esta producción, así que, de acuerdo a todos estos indicios, será la historia oficial de Michael.

Si se abordan las cuestiones controvertidas que lo perseguían, ya veremos.

El biopic se estrenará en los cines en 2025, así que va a pasar un tiempo antes de que veamos a todos en la gran pantalla. Por ahora, los fans de Michael Jackson pueden disfrutar de este adelanto.

Usher llegará a lo más alto de Apple Music gracias al show de medio tiempo del Super Bowl y va a hacerlo a lo grande con una producción que será una oda a "The Hangover".

El Super Bowl LVIII es en Las Vegas este año y Apple reunió a Usher y a la pandilla -Ludacris, Lil Jon y Taraji P. Henson- para recrear la clásica película de comedia en un clip de siete minutos cargado con otras estrellas, y parece sugerir que todos podrían participar el domingo.

El cortometraje comienza con el CEO de Apple -Tim Cook- alertando a Luda, Jon y Taraji a través de FaceTime que Ursh había desaparecido en combate. El trío procede a correr enloquecido a través de la "Ciudad del Pecado" para encontrar a la superestrella de R&B desaparecida.

En el camino se encuentran con Anderson .Paak, J Balvin y Wesley Snipes, y los clásicos de Las Vegas -The Blue Man Group y Criss Angel- en el personaje completo para reforzar la comedia y hay una fuerte insinuación de que Usher incorporará su patinaje sobre ruedas masterclass en su set de medio tiempo.

El año pasado por estas fechas, Usher, Floyd Mayweather y otros famosos se subieron a la pista de patinaje para celebrar el álbum "The Chronic" de Dr. Dre con Apple Music, así que la sinergia es máxima.

Se perfila para ser el año de Usher, quien está dejando caer su nuevo álbum "Coming Home" el domingo y también va de gira en agosto.

The Michael Jackson biopic is in full swing on the production -- and you can tell, 'cause Colman Domingo and Nia Long are already on set ... in character as MJ's parents.

The 2 actors showed up in full costume/makeup Wednesday in L.A., where cameras were rolling for "Michael" -- which is the first official film to tackle the late, great entertainer's life on camera ... and already, Colman and Nia are dead ringers for Joe and Katherine Jackson.

Check out the pics ... CD and NL are virtually unrecognizable as Michael's mom and dad -- and BTW, it wasn't just them who were arriving on set to shoot ... child actors, who are presumably playing the young versions of the Jackson 5, also showed up ready to film.

Just like Colman and Nia, child actor Juliano Valdi is nailing the look as a young Michael Jackson ... he's got the afro going and a blue robe.

Shoutout to the casting department ... 'cause everyone looks fantastic here in character.

As you're probably well aware by now ... Antoine Fuqua is directing the film, which aims to tell the story of a "brilliant yet complicated man." This movie has the blessing of Michael's estate -- which has raised eyebrows, but been embraced as great news by others.

MJ's real-life nephew, Jaafar Jackson, is portraying the King of Pop ... and from all the shots we've seen of him so far -- he's a dead-on doppelgänger for his late uncle. Michael's family is also on board with this production ... so by all accounts, it'll be the official Michael story.

Whether it tackles the controversial issues that haunted him in his life ... we'll see.

The biopic is due out in theaters in 2025 ... so it's gonna be a while before we see everyone on the big screen. For now, people/MJ fans get to enjoy this sneak peek.

Usher gets the next crack at Apple Music's reign over the Super Bowl Halftime Show -- and they're going all out with a highly-produced promo ... an ode to "The Hangover."

Super Bowl LVIII's in Vegas this year and Apple gathered Usher and the gang -- Ludacris, Lil Jon and Taraji P. Henson -- to recreate the classic comedy flick in a 7-minute clip loaded with other stars, and it seems to suggest these stars might be in the mix on Sunday.

The short film opens with Apple CEO Tim Cook alerting Luda, Jon and Taraji via FaceTime (shameless plugs, duh!) that Ursh had gone MIA  ... and the trio proceeds to run amuck through Sin City to find the missing R&B superstar.

Along the way they encounter Anderson .Paak, J Balvin and Wesley Snipes, and Vegas staples -- The Blue Man Group and Criss Angel -- in full character to beef up the comedy and there's a strong hint that Usher will incorporate his masterclass roller skating into his halftime set.

Around this time last year, Usher, Floyd Mayweather and several other celebs hit the rink to celebrate Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" album with Apple Music so the synergy is running high.

It's shaping up to be Usher's year ... he's dropping his new album "Coming Home" on Sunday and also going on tour in August.
