Kate Beckinsale has been wearing giant bows on her head lately -- and when people told her to lose the bizarre accessory ... she snapped back, and it's clear she ain't ditching 'em.

This whole back-and-forth went down on Kate's IG comments this week -- long story short ... she threw up some clips of herself partaking in a variety of activities, and of course ... she was wearing her signature oversized bow, a look she's been rocking for a few years now.

Par for the course ... social media folks were quick to clown Kate about the bow -- telling her quite plainly to "take that ridiculous bow off" ... among other mean comments/requests.

Christina Ricci is unloading her Los Angeles area home -- and she's aiming to double her earnings with the price tag.

The actress listed her Woodland Hills, CA home Monday ... and if you have an extra couple million (and change) lying around, the property could be yours.

CR is asking for a cool $2.249 million for the crib -- and despite the steep ask, Christina's residence is certainly worth the Benjamins ... it's got all the bells and whistles of luxury.

Alec Baldwin was super sloppy with firearms on the "Rust" movie set before the infamous fatal shooting ... at least that's what prosecutors are claiming ahead of his trial.

According to new legal docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors in New Mexico say they intend to introduce evidence Alec was negligent with a firearm on set even before cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot and killed with a gun Alec was holding.

The prosecution claims at one point during filming, Alec recklessly pointed and fired a blank round at a crew member while using the crew member as a line of sight.

Denzel Washington is reminiscing about his days working with Whitney Houston -- saying he saw past her tough exterior and felt a deep need to cushion her from life's harsh blows.

At the American Black Film Festival, host Chaz Ebert echoed Denzel's observation about the late star's vulnerability on the set of the 1996 comedy, "The Preacher's Wife." Denzel, surprised his need to protect Whitney was obvious for all to see, asked, "You really got that?"

As Chaz confirmed it was, Denzel nodded knowingly, "Well, of course" -- adding, "I always felt like I wanted to protect her. You know? She wanted to be so tough, but she really wasn't. That's all. Okay."

The seaside home famously used as a filming location in the Mark Wahlberg and Reese Witherspoon thriller "Fear" is up for sale ... after getting a complete, and stunning, makeover.

Mark and Reese shot a good portion of their 1996 movie at this Canadian location, but the home is a lot different, and more modern, now. One thing that hasn't changed is the incredible scenery around it -- the home sits on the shores of the Salish Sea in British Columbia, just outside Vancouver.

In the drama flick, Mark and Reese's characters are love interests ... and the home is where she lives with her family.

4:30 PM PT --  A rep for "Player Kings" tells TMZ Ian McKellen is doing well after his fall, saying ... "Following a scan, the brilliant NHS team have assured us that he will make a speedy and full recovery and Ian is in good spirits."

"The production has made the decision to cancel the performance on Tuesday 18 June so Ian can rest. Those affected will be contacted by their point of purchase as soon as possible tomorrow."

"Thank you to doctors Rachel and Lee who were on hand in the audience and to all the venue staff for their support.”

Ian McKellen stepped into the spotlight in London and ended up in a hospital ... this after taking a nasty fall during a theater performance this week.

The actor -- who turned 85 last month -- was hospitalized Monday after losing his footing in a "Player Kings" fight scene and falling off stage ... this according to multiple reports out of the UK.

Ian plays John Falstaff in 'PK' -- a new West End production of Shakespeare's Henry IV parts one and two -- and he was circling a battle scene when he tumbled off the front of the stage, screaming in pain as he hit the deck.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are clearly headed for divorce, and some of the folks we've spoken with say one of the many reasons for the split -- JLo's "Love Addiction."

TMZ has a new documentary on Hulu -- 'JLo & Ben: Missed Warning Signs' -- in which Dr. Phil, Dr. Drew, Psychotherapist Dr. Jenn Mann and others say there are lots of reasons this relationship just didn't work.

One of the people with whom we spoke is Jon Peters, the mega-producer of movies like "Flashdance" and "Prince of Tides," who has a history of both dating famous people -- including Barbra Streisand -- and addiction.

Will Smith's efforts as a dad are getting serious recognition from his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith -- who paid a glowing Father's Day tribute to him ... despite their bizarre dynamic.

The actress dropped a family IG pic Sunday -- which featured their kids Willow and Jaden, alongside his ex-wife Sheree Zampino and their son Trey ... all while giving props to Will for rocking the game as both a girl dad and a boy dad.

Jada acknowledged Will didn't just hit the mark in fatherly duties -- he went above and beyond.

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.
