La afirmación de Jessica Chastain sobre la popularidad de un nombre de bebé no se sostiene. Mientras que ella dice que muchos fans están nombrando a sus hijos en honor a su personaje de "Interstellar", Babynames.com dice que no es el caso.

La base de datos en línea para los nombres de bebé le aclara a TMZ que el nombre "Murph" -el nombre del personaje de Chastain de la exitosa película de 2014- no es el gran éxito que ella cree.

Babynames.com utilizó los datos de la Oficina de Seguridad Social, y dice que "Murph" no entró en el top 1.000 de nombres, ya sea para hombres o mujeres en cualquier año.

Halle Bailey and DDG, the father of her child, have not gone their separate ways and are not broken up -- even though the internet certainly seems to think they did ... TMZ has learned.

The singer's rep tells us Halle and DDG are still together and that all the reports they've split are straight-up false -- point blank. The reason this even had to be addressed is because folks were running rampant with rumors that they'd thrown in the towel recently.

There were definitely indications there, perhaps, was trouble in paradise ... including the fact that they'd recently unfollowed each other on Instagram, which is kind of a big deal in 2024.

Jessica Chastain's claim about a popular baby name isn't holdin' water -- while she says lots of fans are naming kids after her "Interstellar" character ... Babynames.com says that's not the case.

The online database for baby names tells TMZ ... the name "Murph" -- Chastain's character's name from the hit 2014 movie -- isn't the big hit she thinks it is.

Babynames.com used the Social Security Office data, and it says "Murph" didn't make the top 1,000 names ... for men or women in any year.

Brian Cox nunca ha tenido pelos en la lengua y esta vez le ha tocado a Joaquin Phoenix recibir sus dardos por su interpretación en la película "Napoleón".

La estrella de "Sucesión" lanzó una serie de comentarios en el HistFest de Londres esta semana, en donde criticó la representación de Phoenix de la figura histórica en 2023, como francamente horrible e incluso sugirió que debería haberle hecho más justicia al papel.

Brian dice: "Terrible. Terrible. Una actuación realmente terrible de Joaquin Phoenix. Es realmente espantosa. No sé en qué estaba pensando. Creo que es totalmente culpa suya y no creo que Ridley Scott lo ayudara".

Brian Cox has never been one to mince his words, and Joaquin Phoenix is on the chopping block this time over his performance in the "Napoleon" movie.

The "Succession" star unleashed a rapid-fire tirade at London's HistFest this week ... slamming JP's 2023 portrayal of the historical figure as downright awful -- even suggesting he would've done the role more justice.

Brian says, "Terrible. It's terrible. A truly terrible performance by Joaquin Phoenix. It really is appalling. I don’t know what he was thinking. I think it’s totally his fault and I don’t think Ridley Scott helps him."

El equipo de Sydney Sweeney no ha perdido el tiempo respondiendo a los ataques contra su aspecto y sus dotes interpretativos por parte de una productora de Hollywood... aunque la propia mujer se retracte.

Un representante de la actriz de "Euphoria" llamó a Carol Baum por sus recientes comentarios que clasifican SS como "no es bonita" y no una buena actriz, diciendo: "Qué triste que una mujer en la posición de compartir su experiencia y conocimientos elige en lugar de atacar a otra mujer".

El representante añade: "Si menospreciar a otra mujer es lo que Carol ha aprendido durante sus décadas en el negocio, y considera apropiado transmitirlo a sus alumnas, entonces es verdaderamente vergonzoso. Despreciar injustamente a una compañera productora dice mucho del carácter de la Sra. Baum".

Sydney Sweeney's camp hasn't wasted time clapping back at the attack on her looks and acting chops by a Hollywood producer ... even though the woman herself is walking it back.

A rep for the "Euphoria" actress called out Carol Baum for her recent remarks that classified SS as "not pretty" and not a good actress, saying, "How sad that a woman in the position to share her expertise and experience chooses instead to attack another woman."

The rep adds, "If that’s what she’s learned in her decades in the industry and feels is appropriate to teach to her students, that’s shameful. To unjustly disparage a fellow female producer speaks volumes about Ms Baum’s character.”

Chris Pratt se veía como todo un héroe mientras grababa una escena para su nueva película, haciendo todas sus maniobras mientras perseguía a un malo ficticio en el medio del Océano Pacífico.

El actor fue visto esta semana grabando en la playa de Malibú y vestido como un oficial de la policía de Los Ángeles, mientras filmaban una escena que lo obligaba a perseguir a un tipo hacia el mar, totalmente vestido, eso sí.

Chris estaba en movimiento en otro clip también. Allí fue visto sosteniendo su arma y diciéndole a alguien que se bajara. Por cierto, la película que está filmando se llama "Mercy" y es un thriller de ciencia ficción donde interpreta a un detective que es acusado de un crimen y debe demostrar su inocencia.

Chris Pratt looked like a legit action hero while filming a scene for his new movie -- and he's doing all his own stunts, it seems ... chasing a fictional bad guy into the Pacific Ocean.

The actor was spotted this week in costume and in character as an LAPD officer, shooting scenes up in Malibu -- which included one set piece that required him to chase a dude down into the sea, fully clothed mind you.

Chris was on the move in another clip too ... where he was seen holding out his gun and telling someone to get down. BTW, this movie he's filming is called 'Mercy,' and it's a sci-fi thriller where he plays a detective accused of a crime and needing to prove his innocence.

Sydney Sweeney ain't as hot as we all think ... that's Hollywood producer Carol Baum's take, anyway, and she's teeing off on the actress' looks and acting ability.

Carol ripped into Sydney during a discussion before a screening of her 1988 film, "Dead Ringers" -- and kinda outta nowhere, she took issue with Sydney's recent romantic comedy, "Anyone But You" ... slamming it as unwatchable.

Carol -- whose credits include "Father of the Bride" and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" -- said she'd asked her students at USC to explain the craze surrounding Sydney.

Sydney Sweeney no es tan guapa como todos pensamos, o al menos eso piensa la productora de Hollywood Carol Baum, quien despotricó sobre la apariencia de la actriz y su capacidad de actuación.

Carol arremetió contra Sydney durante una discusión antes de la proyección de su película de 1988, "Dead Ringers", y un poco de la nada tuvo problemas con la reciente comedia romántica de Sydney "Anyone But You", la que calificó de insoportable.

Carol, cuyos créditos incluyen "Father of the Bride" y "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", dijo que le pidió a sus estudiantes de USC que le explicaran la locura en torno a Sydney.

Incluso Zendaya no está segura sobre el futuro de "Euphoria", quien compartió que tiene cero idea de si la temporada 3 se realizará alguna vez.

Durante el estreno de su nueva película "Challengers" el martes en Los Ángeles, Zendaya dejó saber que no tiene nada que decir sobre si la producción de HBO comenzará nuevamente, a pesar de que está acreditada como productora ejecutiva.

Zendaya le dijo a Variety: "Yo no estoy a cargo. Pero, por supuesto, si es lo correcto para los personajes y todo resulta como debería, por supuesto. Pero está más allá de mí".

Even Zendaya is uncertain about the future of "Euphoria" -- sharing she has zero insight into whether season 3 will ever happen.

During Tuesday's Los Angeles premiere for her new movie, "Challengers," Zendaya let it be known ... she has no say on whether production starts up again for the HBO drama, even though she's credited as an executive producer.

Zendaya told Variety, "I am not in charge. But, of course, if it's right for the characters and everything turns out the way it should, of course. But it's beyond me."

Bill Maher se cuadró con Woody Allen, al decir que no cree en las acusaciones de abuso sexual y piensa que los actores que no quieren trabajar con él son "pu**ies".

Bill estaba conversando con Katie Couric en su podcast "Club Random" cuando salió el nombre de Allen. Maher dijo: "Respeto al artista y al hombre", y luego ahondó en las acusaciones de que abusó sexualmente de Dylan, su hija adoptiva, cuando tenía 7 años.

Bill cree que la historia fue diseñada por Mia Farrow para obtener una ventaja en su amargo divorcio, diciendo que Farrow fue motivada por la venganza.

Bill Maher went in hard for Woody Allen, saying flatly he doesn't believe the sexual abuse allegations and thinks actors who won't work with him are "pu**ies."

Bill was chatting it up with Katie Couric on his 'Club Random' podcast when Allen's name came up. Maher said, "I respect the artist and the man," and then he bore in on the long-standing allegations that Allen sexually abused Dylan, his adopted daughter when she was 7.

Bill believes the story was engineered by Mia Farrow to gain an advantage in their bitter divorce, saying Farrow was motivated by vindictiveness.

Johnny Depp hasn't retired from acting, despite the fact he's currently giving all his attention to directing right now ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Johnny tell TMZ ... the Oscar nominee isn't done with performing in front of the camera, but his current passion has been directing the biopic "Modi," as he's been very happy being back in the director's chair.

The forthcoming drama about the life of Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani stars Riccardo Scamarcio, Sally Phillips and Al Pacino ... and the film has already gotten great buzz. It's his first time directing a feature film since 1997's "The Brave" ... which he also co-starred in with Marlon Brando.
