It seems like the animal kingdom is waving its pride flags, too ... spreading the message that love is love -- all detailed in a new doc about animal sexuality, which is apparently fluid.

From gay penguins and giraffes to lion "bromances" and lesbian primates, Peacock's "Queer Planet" delves into the wild world of animals' homosexual interactions ... revealing over 1,500 species engaging in queer behavior.

The 90-minute doc -- narrated by actor Andrew Rannells -- dishes on lions mounting each other, the promiscuity of pansexual bonobo monkeys, and even sex-changing clownfish.

Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg paid their respects on D-Day's 80th anniversary -- the Allied invasion of Normandy ... looking on with many prominent world leaders in France.

The actor-director duo appeared in Normandy Thursday ... standing stoically in dark suits alongside numerous onlookers. They understand the gravity of the invasion as well as any -- remember, they've worked on multiple war projects together, including "Saving Private Ryan," which depicted D-Day.

They also created the show "Band of Brothers" -- released back in 2001 -- following an Army unit during WWII. Their work together on this front is clearly why they were there.

Seeing is believing ... or not, if you're Jake Gyllenhaal, who says being legally blind has actually given his movie star career a huge boost!

IYDK, the actor was born with a lazy eye, which naturally corrected itself, but he's been rocking strong corrective lenses since he was 6 -- and for him, not being able to see clearly has always been the norm.

In fact, Jake says his vision woes gave him an acting edge ... for example, he tells The Hollywood Reporter he ditched his contact lenses for his 2015 action flick, "Southpaw."

Selma Blair grabbed the spotlight at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC with her choice for a date -- her English red fox Labrador that she led around on a leash.

That's right ... Selma hit the red carpet with her cute-as-a-button service dog named Scout at Wednesday night's movie premiere of "Diane Von Furstenberg: Woman In Charge."

Of course, the pooch plays a big role in the actress' daily life, assisting her with her disability while the two go everywhere together.

"Deadpool & Wolverine" officially secured a hard R rating -- but don't expect any sex or nudity this time around ... although, we've learned Disney isn't to blame for that.

Here's the deal ... the official MPA rating is kinda historic -- it's the first R-rated flick in the Marvel Cinematic Universe -- and like fans were promised, it ain't for children under 17. However, eagle-eyed moviegoers noticed something was missing from this 3rd installment of the Ryan Reynolds franchise ... naked bodies.

'D & W' is rated-R for "strong bloody violence and language throughout, gore and sexual references" -- whereas the the previous 2 installments included nudity and sex acts.

In her early 20's, Canada native and actress Ingrid Rogers was cast to play Steffie -- a waitress at the El Paraíso nightclub and Benny's free-loving girlfriend -- in the 1993 crime-thriller movie "Carlito's Way."

Rogers played opposite Al Pacino as the criminal trying to turn his life around after jail, Carlito, Sean Penn as Carlito's manipulative defense attorney attempting to take over the NYC drug trade, David and Penelope Ann Miller as the ballet dancer, stripper and Carlito's ex, Gail.

After her success as Steffie, Ingrid went onto popular shows like "All My Children."

Vivienne Jolie-Pitt appears to be following in her older sister's footsteps -- dropping her pop's last name professionally in a Broadway playbill, something she reportedly asked to have changed.

The 15-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie is currently working as a producer's assistant for the Broadway show 'The Outsiders' -- and, of course, she gets a credit in the playbill ... except it's written as "Vivienne Jolie," nothing more.

ET cites a source who claims the change isn't due to a lack of space ... instead, VJP apparently asked to leave "Pitt" off -- another of Brad's kids seemingly sending a message.

One of Norway's most famous scenic spots is now connected to a tragic death -- a man fell nearly 2,000 feet off the cliff featured in a 'Mission Impossible' flick.

Law enforcement in the Scandinavian nation confirms the victim -- who was in his 40s -- died Monday after falling from Preikestolen ... the name of the iconic bluff overlooking the town of Lysefjord.

Police officials told CNN they're investigating the death as an accidental fall, and say they "have no assumptions that anything criminal has happened."

Halyna Hutchins' family's attorney is pissed about Alec Baldwin's new reality show ... side-eyeing the timing of the announcement and referring to it as a public relations stunt.

Gloria Allred -- who's repping members of the late cinematographer's family -- tells TMZ ... she's not buying any sort of coincidence in the announcement's release coming just a month before his involuntary manslaughter criminal trial begins.

She says, "This appears to me, to be a calculated and cynical public relations move to try to influence the jury pool in New Mexico to think of him as a sympathetic family man rather than as the killer of Halyna Hutchins, who was the beloved daughter of our clients Olga Solovey, Halyna’s mother, Anatolii Androsovych, Halyna’s father, and Svetlana Zemko, Halyna’s sister."

Jennifer Lopez says she's dismayed by all the negativity in the world -- but the question ... is she referring to current events in 2024, or is this about her personal woes of late?

In her latest "On the JLo" newsletter that got blasted out to fans Wednesday, J Lo used her movie "Atlas" and it doing well on Netflix as the jumping-off point into this topic ... taking a jab at pessimism at large and reminding everyone there's tons of love to spread.

Jennifer wrote, "Hi everybody, I just found out some great news and it's all because of YOU!! 'ATLAS' is #1 worldwide again this week!!! Thank you all so much!!!"

Martin Lawrence is speaking out after the internet was convinced his health was failing amid the 'Bad Boys' press run ... and he says he's doing just fine.

The 59-year-old comedian addressed the rumors on Tuesday as he and Will Smith sat with Hot 97's "Ebro in the Morning" team -- this after the Twitter-sphere went into a frenzy after seeing a recent clip of Will seemingly assisting a somewhat frail-looking Martin on top of a bus.

Ebro gave Martin the floor, asking him if he wanted to clear anything up -- specifically asking him if his health was alright in light of all the chatter. Martin didn't hesitate to clarify here.

Jonathan Tucker didn't even have time to put shoes on when a man walked right into his neighbor's house ... with startling new video showing him jumping into action barefoot.

The actor -- best known for the TV shows "Westworld" and "Kingdom" -- appeared on doorbell camera footage from his neighbors' house Sunday night when he rushed to their aid after a man allegedly pushed his way into the Hancock Park home.

Check out the clip obtained by KCAL News ... Jonathan has a bag slung over his shoulder and walks quickly into the house while screams can be heard from inside. Video from the street later shows JT running out with one of the kids in his arms.

Kevin Costner was determined to give Whitney Houston a proper sendoff after her death ... and nothing was going to get in his way, not even a major TV network.

The actor recalled his "The Bodyguard" costar's 2012 funeral during an appearance on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast, revealing an unfortunate moment he had while preparing for his friend's farewell.

Costner, who was one of 8 people to speak at the singer's funeral, was asked ahead of the ceremony to shorten his speech ... so CNN and other networks could air commercials during the broadcast.

Sydney Sweeney will soon have the keys to a new estate in South Florida ... a lavish, oceanfront mansion, and we've got pics of her already hanging out in her new 'hood.

TMZ obtained these photos of Sydney down in the Sunshine State -- we're told she was grabbing a cup of java at a local coffee shop over Memorial Day weekend, and word in the area is she was in town for a housewarming party.

Sydney stands out anywhere she goes ... and her custom blue Fiat 500 makes it even easier to spot her. She's big into cars, of course, and she's posted some social media videos showing her tooling around the new property.

Massiel Taveras is still fuming at the security guard who tussled with her at the Cannes Film Festival ... telling TMZ the woman needs to take her butt to church, or at least open a Bible.

We got the Dominican actress Tuesday in Los Angeles and our photog asked her about her incident with the Cannes security guard -- which, as we all saw, got a little testy ... not to mention handsy.

Massiel tells us she was just trying to get a photo of her dress, the one with a huge image of Jesus Christ, when the security guard intervened ... rushing her along up the stairs.

Will Smith has picked up a thing or two in his decorated Hollywood career ... because he's now able to film himself starring in his blockbuster action movies!!!

Fans are going gaga over some new, behind-the-scenes footage from Will and Martin Lawrence's new flick, "Bad Boys: Ride or Die." The BTS video shows Will handling a firearm and also working the camera in a hectic shootout scene ... yep, doing both simultaneously.

It's pretty incredible ... Will's got a camera strapped to his waist and films himself shooting up some bad guys. At one point, Will flips the camera around to show his POV and then goes back to his face.
