Owen Wilson wants nothing to do with a movie leaning into the idea O.J. Simpson was innocent of the infamous '94 murders -- turning down a boatload for the lead part.

The partially finished flick's director, Joshua Newton, admits he thought Owen was perfect for the role of attorney Douglas McCann, but he says even dangling a whopping $12 million check couldn't sway Owen to sign on the dotted line.

Newton tells Rambling Reporter talks initially went pretty deep with Owen about playing McCann ... a real-life attorney who got sucked into various conspiracy theories during Simpson's 1995 criminal trial.

Christina Applegate una vez tuvo un virus estomacal tan intenso que la obligó a usar pañales... algo que hace hasta el día de hoy, por precaución.

La actriz entró en detalle sobre esto en un nuevo episodio de su pódcast... diciéndole al co-anfitrión -Jamie-Lynn Sigler- que recurrió a usar pañales debido a su intensa batalla contra el virus. Ella le atribuyó la infección a una ensalada contaminada de un restaurante que frecuentaba a menudo.

No está claro cuando fue que esto sucedió, pero ella dice que las cosas estaban tan mal que comenzó a sentirse mareada y enferma durante tres semanas, hasta el punto de que no podía comer o hacer mucho más.

Christina Applegate once had a stomach bug that was so intense that it forced her to start wearing diapers ... something she says she still does to this day, out of precaution.

The actress went into graphic detail about this on a new episode of her podcast ... telling co-host Jamie-Lynn Sigler she resorted to wearing diapers due to her intense sapovirus battle -- which she chalked up to eating a tainted salad from a restaurant she frequented often.

Unclear when exactly this happened -- but CA says things were so bad that she started to feel dizzy and sick for 3 weeks, to the point where she couldn't eat or do much else.

Glen Powell finalmente está hablando en serio sobre su rom-com con Sydney Sweeney, es decir, que su química fuera de la pantalla fue 100% escenificada y falsa.

El actor habló de una vez por todas en una nueva entrevista con NYT, donde contó todo sobre su película con Sydney "Anyone But You". "Las dos cosas que hay que tener para vender una comedia romántica son diversión y química. Sydney y yo lo pasamos muy bien juntos y tenemos un montón de química sin esforzarnos".

Y añade: "La gente quiere que lo que está en pantalla salga de la pantalla, y a veces solo tienes que predisponerte un poco a eso y funcionó de maravilla. Sydney es muy inteligente".

Glen Powell is finally saying the quiet part out loud when it comes to his rom-com with Sydney Sweeney -- namely, that their off-screen chemistry was 100% staged and fake.

The actor spilled the tea once and for all in a new interview with NYT -- saying this about his and Sydney's movie "Anyone But You" ... "The two things that you have to sell a rom-com are fun and chemistry. Sydney and I have a ton of fun together, and we have a ton of effortless chemistry."

He adds, "That’s people wanting what’s on the screen off the screen, and sometimes you just have to lean into it a bit -- and it worked wonderfully. Sydney is very smart."

Anne Hathaway claims she once had to make out with 10 different men during a chemistry test -- but that didn't happen on two of her biggest movie hits ... TMZ has learned.

Donna Morong -- the casting director for 'Princess Diaries' in 2001 -- tells TMZ … she's never participated in any auditions where two actors had to make out with their partners in order to test screen chemistry, something Anne says she had to do early in her career.

Some fans speculated "The Princess Diaries" may have been the film in question, as Anne told V Magazine the chemistry read was for a project back in the 2000s. Remember, the coming-of-age movie premiered in 2001 ... and featured Anne kissing not one, but 2 of her costars.

Amber Heard cumplió 38 años esta semana, y para celebrar la ocasión, está bebiendo champán... todo esto 8 años después de que supuestamente se cagara en la cama de Johnny Depp.

La actriz publicó en IG el martes -un día después de su cumpleaños- luciendo hermosa y bebiendo un poco de burbujas. Su pie de foto era revelador, con Amber escribiendo: "Champagne tipo de cumpleaños".

También parece que Amber está en algún tipo de bodega de vino, porque está rodeada de botellas... es interesante teniendo en cuenta su historia con Depp.

Amber Heard turned 38 this week -- and to ring in the momentous occasion, she's knocking back champagne ... this 8 years after she allegedly crapped in Johnny Depp's bed.

The actress posted on IG Tuesday -- a day after she hit the big 3-8 Monday -- and it was a simple shot of herself looking gorgeous and sipping on some bubbly. Her caption was telling as well, with AH simply writing ... "Champagne kind of birthday."

It also looks like Amber is in some kind of wine cellar here, 'cause she's surrounded by a ton of bottles on both sides -- which is also interesting considering her history with JD.

Dermot Mulroney believes Sydney Sweeney is so much more than a pretty face -- despite the fact some believe she's just getting by in showbiz on good looks and a rockin' bod.

We caught up with the actor in L.A. Tuesday ... where he addressed Hollywood producer Carol Baum's controversial criticism of his "Anyone But You" costar. As you may have heard ... Carol blasted Sydney's acting ability and looks, slamming 'ABY' as being unwatchable.

While Dermot laughed off Carol's hate for his and Sydney's rom-com -- in which he played the actress' father -- he did issue a reprimand to Carol ... making it clear he doesn't approve of the way she dissed his costar's looks.

3:41 PM PT -- Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que Disney es muy intenso cuando se trata de la integridad del personaje, ya que mantener la magia viva con sus huéspedes y clientes es de suma importancia para ellos, por lo que terminaron despidiendo a Sophia Dottir.

En este caso en particular, nos dicen que la integridad de los personajes que valoran se ha roto, así que han tenido que hacer lo que tenían que hacer. En cuanto a los rumores de que Blancanieves está "prohibida" en sus parques, nuestras fuentes afirman que no podría estar más lejos de la realidad y que eso nunca ocurrirá... y que si vas a cualquier parque de Disney hoy en día, el personaje estará allí siendo interpretado por otra actriz.

Una mujer que interpretó a Blancanieves para un trabajo afirma que fue despedida por la Casa del Ratón por arruinar la magia en redes sociales, lo que ha dado lugar a cierta confusión entre los fans de Disney.

3:41 PM PT -- Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Disney is very big on character integrity -- because keeping the magic alive with their guests and patrons is of the utmost importance to them, which is why they ended up getting rid of Sophia Dottir.

In this particular situation, we're told the character integrity they value was broken -- so they had to do what they had to do. In terms of the rumors that Snow White is "banned" from their parks, our sources say it couldn't be further from the truth and that'll never happen ... and that if you go to any Disney park today, SW is there being played by another actress.

A woman who played Snow White for a job claims she was canned by the Mouse House for ruining the magic on social media ... which has led to some confusion among Disney fans.

The Southern California home Anne Heche destroyed in the car accident that claimed her life has been fully restored -- and it's on the market too ... going for a bundle.

The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom Los Angeles residence looks strikingly different from the last time we saw it -- as it was previously a scorched wreck from the fiery collision that led to Anne's untimely passing in 2022.

These days, the house boasts a fresh coat of white paint with a black trim along the side. A small, but sunny front porch juts out into a modest front yard. The front of the structure is completely rebuilt too ... and looks nothing like it did a couple years ago.

David Mamet -- who's written some very famous screenplays in his day -- isn't a fan of Hollywood's efforts to diversify ... slamming the initiatives as "fascist totalitarianism."

The Pulitzer Prize winner -- known for scripts such as "Wag the Dog," "Glengarry Glen Ross" and others -- took a firm stance against DEI initiatives during the Los Angeles Times book festival on Sunday ... where he appeared to promote his memoir.

David made it clear he's unimpressed with Tinseltown's attempts at fostering diversity, equity and inclusion ... slamming such efforts as "garbage." He added ... "The [film industry] has little business improving everybody’s racial understanding as does the fire department."

Rebel Wilson dice que una vez se encontró en medio de una orgía llena de drogas, cortesía de un miembro de la familia real británica... supuestamente.

La actriz detalla el encuentro en su nuevo libro de memorias, "Rebel Rising", explicando cómo recibió una invitación de última hora en 2014 a una fiesta en la casa de un multimillonario tecnológico sin nombre en las afueras de Los Ángeles.

El supuesto vinculado a la realeza -que ella describe como hombre y decimoquinto o vigésimo en la línea al trono británico- estaba tratando de contribuir a la fiesta del tipo rico con más mujeres, y esa es básicamente como consiguió la invitación. Rebel no dio el nombre del miembro de la realeza... parece alguien muy lejano.

Rebel Wilson says she once found herself at a drug-fueled orgy, courtesy of a member of the British Royal family ... allegedly.

The actress details the encounter in her new memoir, "Rebel Rising" ... explaining how she received a last-minute invitation in 2014 to a shindig at an unnamed tech billionaire's home on the outskirts of Los Angeles.

The supposed Royal -- who she describes as male and "fifteenth or twentieth in line to the British throne" -- was seeking to flesh out the rich guy's bash with more women ... which is why she got an invite. RW didn't name the Royal ... sounds like someone far-removed.

Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone have dibs on 2 of the 4 spots on the Mt. Rushmore of action heroes ... but who are the other 2?

Arnold and Sly sat down with Harvey for a new FOX special, airing tonight (Tuesday) at 8 PM/7 Central, to talk about their intense rivalry that eventually turned into a close friendship.

Arnold's pick for the 3rd spot is interesting ... not necessarily top of mind, but when you hear it it makes a lot of sense.
