Morgan Freeman is once again voicing his disdain for Black History Month ... blasting the tribute as a deeply flawed concept.

The Oscar winner -- who has spoken out against Black History Month a number of times over the years -- railed against the annual observance in a new interview with Variety ... saying he absolutely detests it, while noting he simply doesn't relate.

MF says ... "You are going to give me the shortest month in a year? And you are going to celebrate ‘my’ history?! This whole idea makes my teeth itch. It’s not right."

Grab those toolkits and ties, people ... it's Father's Day once again -- and, Hollywood knows how to highlight its dads, the famous ones and the ones who helped raise a future celeb.

Hollywood celebrities shared pictures with their own fathers or -- if they have kids themselves -- then pics of them with their little ones ... and, you can just feel all the fatherly love coming through social media.

Glen Powell and Mark Zuckerberg started off the festivities by highlighting their own dads -- with Zuck even humbling his billionaire persona to highlight his old man in a shirt that reads "Ed's Kid."

Alan Cumming takes great Pride in his 'X-Men' movie "X2" ... quite literally 'cause the actor's claiming it's the gayest movie he's ever made!

The actor -- who now hosts the hit reality competition show "The Traitors" -- sat down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly recently where he reflected on his diverse career including his appearance in the 2003 follow-up to "X-Men."

If you haven't seen the movie, Cumming plays Nightcrawler -- a bright blue mutant with the ability to teleport in the flick. Hugh Jackman, Halle Berry, Anna Paquin, Patrick Stewart and James Marsden star in the movie and, by all appearances, the film's a pretty standard comic book film.

Armie Hammer's reflecting on viral cannibalism claims upending his life ... laughing at how ridiculous they are before adding he's "grateful" for everything he's experienced.

The actor sat down for a wide-ranging interview with the low-key "Painful Lessons" podcast ... opening up about how the online hate against him transformed his life -- in some ways for the better.

Hammer starts by saying he's able to look at all his trials and tribulations at a distance and finds them hilarious ... thinking it was totally ridiculous anyone thought he could eat another person.

"Sandlot" star Tom Guiry, who played Smalls in the movie, got busted for throwing a strike ... but cops say he didn't hit his target with a baseball, he used a dumbbell!!!

TMZ obtained video of the alleged incident ... and it appears to show Tom tossing a huge weight on a car windshield, shattering it completely.

The footage is absolutely bonkers ... you see Tom bring the dumbbell behind his head and then drop it on a white Jeep ... before marching across two manicured front lawns to go back inside ... all while the dumbbell rolls down the hood.

A wild, deadly bus hijacking in Atlanta is stirring up some wild flashbacks for one of the actors from "Speed."

As we reported, a madman in Atlanta hijacked a city bus, which he used to lead police on an unbelievable high-speed chase ... and, during which he allegedly shot and killed a passenger.

Hawthorne James, who played bus driver Sam Silver in the 1994 blockbuster, tells TMZ ... he was shocked watching footage of the Atlanta bus bouncing off cars.

It all gave him some serious déjà vu, but, of course, he acknowledges the major difference is Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock and himself always knew they were safe.

Woody Harrelson became public enemy number one when he walked onto the "Cheers" set, and everyone wanted to "kick his ass" ... so says the show's star, Ted Danson.

Ted and Woody sat down for an interview on the "Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend Podcast" to discuss "Cheers" ... and, they dove into Woody joining the show during season 4 as the new bartender -- also named Woody.

Ted says no one really had a problem with Woody ... except he happened to be about 10 years younger than the rest of the cast -- and, they decided to try and knock the guy down a few pegs.

Theo James has clearly ended up on some s****y first dates ... 'cause the guy says he once went out with a girl who ended up taking a dump in his bathtub!

The actor recently sat down with Entertainment Weekly for a panel discussion and played Two Truths and a Lie -- a game where a person says two true statements and one lie and others guess which is which -- and he said a woman once left him a brown reminder of their time together.

The way Theo tells the story ... it was back during his university days, and he and this girl hit the town before heading back to his place where they had some "fun" -- you can probably read between the lines on your own.

Joe Alwyn's finally speaking on what led to his breakup with Taylor Swift ... though he's still keeping details close to the chest.

The actor spoke to The Sunday Times in an interview published Saturday when he was asked whether he's listened to Taylor's new album "The Tortured Poets Department" -- which many believe contains references to their relationship.

Alwyn sorta sidesteps the question here, instead saying he hopes people can understand how difficult ending a six-year-long relationship -- one he refers to as both "loving" and "fully committed"

Hunter Biden has certainly been making the rounds in L.A. following his federal gun conviction ... first, he enjoyed a yummy Italian meal in West Hollywood – and now he attended the screening of a new Sean Penn movie.

That's right ... President Biden's son doesn't seem to have a care in the world – or at least that's the image he's publicly portraying -- despite facing up to 25 years in prison after a jury convicted him this week on three felony gun charges.

He's a first-time offender so he won't get anywhere near the max and there's a chance he'll get straight probation.

Terrence Howard firmly believes his non-traditional theories on math, gravity and science are the simple truth -- and it's only the "Jim Crow laws of mathematics" preventing the rest of the world from getting on board with him!

We got the actor/mathematician at LAX and our photog asked him if anyone's reached out to debate him on some of his differing views about the world we live in ... including his insistence that 1 x 1 = 2.

Terrence says he's open for healthy debates on what he's been preaching on podcasts ... where he's been challenging the conventional math laws that have been around for centuries.

Erik von Detten is sending love back to the Kelce brothers -- this after discovering their favorite Disney movie growing up was "Brink!" ... and as it turns out, he's a fan of theirs too.

The actor -- who played the lead in the classic Disney Channel flick -- tells TMZ he's honored by the recognition ... which he also says doesn't surprise him one bit, 'cause the 1998 classic was fantastic by his own standards.

Erik goes down memory lane with us -- reflecting on why he thinks "Brink!" still resonates with people today ... and why Travis and Jason Kelce might dig it so much from their childhood.

Meagan Good is starring in a new movie about domestic violence -- and it's a little awkward considering what her boyfriend Jonathan Majors just went through in real life.

The actress is the lead actress in Tyler Perry's latest drama, "Divorce in the Black," which follows a woman as she tries to escape a violent partner. The trailer was released Thursday -- and you see Meagan's character break down in tears as she reflects on her toxic marriage.

Meagan also showed up for a premiere of her new flick Thursday in L.A. ... and interestingly, she showed up by herself, without Jonathan. Of course, Meagan's been dating JM for the last year ... standing by the ex-Marvel star amid his assault trial in NYC.

American actor William Earl Brown was in his mid 30's when he played Mary's younger bro, Warren, who loves his baseball and hates Ted -- in the 1998 romantic comedy film "There's Something About Mary."

Brown was part of an iconic cast including Ben Stiller as the dorky insurance salesman, Ted, determined to hook up with his high school love, Cameron Diaz ... who plays the genuine orthopedic surgeon looking for Mr. Right, Mary and Matt Dillon as the shady private detective, Pat.

Brown is also known for playing Kenny the cameraman in "Scream" back in 1996.

Rob Schneider is finally free to go in on Will Smith over his infamous Oscars slap on Chris Rock -- and let's just say, he's not sugarcoating it at all.

It's been 2 years since the slap seen 'round the world, but Rob kept mum until now because he was an elected SAG-AFTRA official at the time, but on Tuesday’s "The Kyle & Jackie O Show" he let it rip ... branding the actor a "twat" and saying he exposed himself as the "a**hole" he really is.

Rob called the slap a "deep, dark thing" for Will to do on a worldwide stage like the Academy Awards -- and especially to Chris, who he hailed as one of the greatest comedians of our generation.

Kevin Spacey broke down into tears to reveal a hard truth: he's destitute -- so deep in the hole, in fact, that he's about to lose his home ... this on the heels of his #MeToo scandal.

In his first major TV appearance in years, the embattled actor disclosed on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" Tuesday that his Baltimore home, where he lived while shooting "House of Cards," is now up for auction -- and he was soon planning to pack his stuff into storage.

When Piers pressed Kevin on why it had come to such an extreme ... he candidly admitted he simply couldn't foot the debt he owed -- which he says amounts to millions.
