Dwayne didn't exactly clarify how he sustained the ailment ... although he joked, "Anytime your film is called 'The Smashing Machine,' well, you're kind of going to get smashed up."

Looks like Chloë Sevigny felt "American Psycho" was the best way to describe her costar Christian Bale ... at least on the set of that movie, an experience she calls intimidating AF.

The actress had a front-row seat to Christian's extreme method acting approach as the villainous Patrick Bateman for the 2000 flick ... which she told Vanity Fair she was trying super hard to respect, but it made for an especially challenging work environment for her.

Chloë explained she's all about being gregarious, silly and goofy -- so, when people take themselves too seriously, she goes into shutdown mode ... which happened on the set of 'AP.'

Joe Jonas was seen getting cozy with a mystery brunette on a Greek beach, but the mystery didn’t last long ... 'cause she's been identified as Lebanese actress Laila Abdallah.

The singer kept the talking stage with the dark-haired beauty under wraps, because judging by their beach pics, they were already pretty tight -- holding hands, frolicking in the water, and basically attached at the hip while soaking up the sun.

Who exactly is Laila, you ask? Well, she's in the showbiz world herself, having starred in 25 TV series and appeared in 4 movies in her native Lebanon -- all this after starting as a model in music videos.

Sydney Sweeney is wasting no time enjoying all the finer things her new oceanfront estate in Florida has to offer ... slipping on a bikini and riding all sorts of things on the water.

The actress kicked off her weekend at her new place down in the Keys, hopping on an inflatable banana boat Friday and riding the toy in some skimpy swimwear.

As you can see, Sydney's working on her tan, and her amazing body ... getting some exercise paddling around on a paddle board ... with a super cute dog in tow!!!

John Leguizamo is pleading with the Television Academy to stop whitewashing award shows -- taking drastic action to get his message across by taking out a full-page signed ad.

The actor begged Academy members to start recognizing people of color for their contributions via an ad he took out in The New York Times -- just in time before voting kicks off for the Primetime Emmy Noms June 13.

He writes, "Dear Hollywood, please let this be the year we finally embrace change. The year we truly find equity and see artists of color represented across not just one category but ALL categories."

Will Smith's star power's reinvigorated the summer box office ... 'cause his newest 'Bad Boys' flick cleaned up in its opening weekend and made him a box office darling once again.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" is projected to make $56 million domestically when all's said and done -- higher than the previous estimate of $53 million.

BTW ... international box office totals have eclipsed $48.6 million -- cracking the $100 million total globally.

Jason Momoa's got one musically gifted family ... bringing his kids onstage with him during his band's Hollywood show in footage obtained by TMZ.

The actor took the Sunset Room Hollywood stage -- a venue just off the Hollywood Walk of Fame in L.A. -- with his group ÖOF TATATÁ ... and check out the vid, 'cause he also shares a pretty great moment with his kiddos.

The video starts with JM playing on his own before transitioning to a shot of him face-to-face with his son -- 15-year-old Nakoa-Wolf -- strumming on a guitar.

Jon Cryer's opening up about his relationship with Demi Moore back in the day ... revealing he had no idea about her drug addiction while they were together.

The actor -- who starred alongside Moore in the hit 1984 flick "No Small Affair" -- tells People -- briefly dated his costar while making the classic movie ... but, JC didn't realize she was using until about two weeks before wrap.

The way Jon explains it ... their tryst ended fairly quickly, and he remembers her as having a charismatic spark to her -- all of which completely fooled him.

Will Smith totally stunned fans of his hit 'Bad Boys' franchise Friday ... dropping in at a random L.A.-area screening.

The actor shared a clip to his Instagram, where he hits a theater in Baldwin Hills -- a neighborhood in Los Angeles -- donning a mask to keep a low profile while joining the crowd at "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" which was released wide yesterday.

Smith says it's a tradition for him ... whenever he has a new flick coming out, he goes to a few different showings of the flick -- one on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Ian McKellen's got a morbid standard for the parts he takes ... picturing his legacy if the next role happened to be his last -- and, admitting there's one film he'd do in a heartbeat.

The actor -- who turned 85 last month -- sat down for an interview with "The Sunday Times" and revealed whenever a script comes in he considers it like it may be the last part he ever plays.

He says those stakes make him turn down many projects ... and push him to be his best version on stage or screen -- 'cause he may not get another shot at it.

Everyone, of course, knows Reese Witherspoon, but did you know that's not exactly her real name?

For those of you who didn't know, the actress revealed she was born Laura Jeanne Reese Witherspoon in a recent Vanity Fair interview ... while sitting down for a one-on-one chat with her good buddy, Nicole Kidman, to reminisce about shooting their TV series, "Big Little Lies," with costar Laura Dern.

At some point during their discussion, Witherspoon brought up that she shares the same first name as Dern. Here was her back and forth with Kidman about the big reveal.

Whatcha gonna do if you can't capture the discreet switch-ups in these Martin Lawrence and Will Smith photos? Both 'Bad Boys' are bringing their A-game-fashion, but there are definitely some mishaps 😜 ... They're comin' for ya, so you better watch out!

The 'Bad Boy' franchise's newest film, "Bad Boys: Ride or Die", premiered earlier this week and these handsome gents hit up SiriusXM's Town Hall in New York City to talk all about their 4th reunion.

Can you locate the changes made to these two besties?

Harvey Weinstein's rape conviction in New York was overturned this spring ... and now he's looking to achieve a similar outcome in California, having just filed a new appeal.

In new legal docs obtained by TMZ, Weinstein's lawyers -- Jennifer Bonjean and Michael Freedman -- are officially appealing his 2022 rape conviction in L.A. ... claiming prosecutors relied on false testimony to advance a flawed narrative from one of his accusers.

They also went after the prosecution for allegedly introducing prejudicial information from previously uncharged alleged sex offenses unrelated to the case -- which they say unfairly swayed the jury against Weinstein.

Tiffany Haddish once told Leonardo DiCaprio she wanted to shag -- but with one major condition ... which sounds a little controversial, even though she's clearly joking.

Speaking on SiriusXM's "The Howard Stern Show" Thursday, the actress recounted the first time she met Leo -- with her saying, "I told him, 'I want to f***, but only if you're in character from 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape.'"

As you may know ... Leo starred in the 1993 flick alongside Johnny Depp ... playing the role of Arnie Grape, a young boy with special needs.

Will Smith will tell ya ... even fame can't spare you from the taxman's grip, as he found out the hard way -- in fact, he says it cost him everything he owned back in his Philly days.

The actor spilled the beans on the "7PM in Brooklyn" podcast -- reminiscing about the late '80s, when he snagged his first Grammy for Best Rap Performance with "Parents Just Don't Understand." But, right at that high point, he also got a not-so-friendly notice from the IRS.

Will reflected, "I was, like, 'the IRS gets money from everybody, they don't need mine' -- but they felt differently. So I didn't pay taxes for two years and winning a Grammy and all that…so they just thought they should take my stuff."

Martin Lawrence and Will Smith clearly aren't down with Jason Kelce's shower habits ... 'cause the "Bad Boys" duo couldn't contain their disgust when discussing the NFL legend's "nasty ass feet."

The two actors addressed Kelce's recent revelation on "7 PM in Brooklyn" with Carmelo Anthony and The Kid Mero ... during a segment called "F***in' Wit It or F*** Outta Here," when guests give their approval or a big thumb's down on certain pop culture topics.

Smith immediately let out a grunt as soon as Mero asked about Kelce's viral stance ... and Lawrence followed up with his own hilarious reaction.
