Brad Pitt has been "extremely concerned" for his estranged son Pax after the bike accident that nearly killed the 20-year-old, and he's been getting a steady flow of information about his recovery ... TMZ has learned.

Sources close to Brad tell TMZ ... he was shocked and emotional after learning about the accident. TMZ broke the story ... Pax was riding his e-bike without a helmet along an L.A. street on July 29, when he plowed into the back of a car idling at a red light.

Pax was unconscious ... it was so bad eyewitnesses thought he had died. Pax suffered a serious head injury with brain bleed, as well as a hip injury. Paramedics rushed Pax to an ICU unit, and he stayed in the ICU for a week before being released. He's now on the mend.

Miranda Kerr has bid adieu to her stunning Malibu bachelorette pad -- you know, the one she snapped up right after her split from Orlando Bloom a decade ago.

The place sold for $4,115,000 Tuesday ... a bit less than the $4.5M it was listed for in February. But hey, the supermodel still came out ahead, having bought it for almost $2.2M. Not a bad flip!

Reese Witherspoon is mourning a loss in her family ... as the actress has confirmed the passing of her beloved dog, Hank.

Ben Stiller threw his full support behind Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential election -- but, in doing so, he cracked a weird joke about white Jewish dudes all wanting to be Black.

Blake Lively looked like she was auditioning for the role of "Barbie" in NYC Tuesday night as she decked herself out in a sexy all-pink ensemble.

Britney Spears has yet to name the leading lady for her biopic ... but those close to the pop star are already making suggestions.

Felicia Culotta, Britney's former longtime assistant and confidante, tells TMZ ... she's so happy to hear the singer's best-selling memoir, "The Woman in Me," is being made into a movie. As she's a significant character in the tell-all, she already has a couple of casting ideas ... for Britney AND herself.

For starters, she thinks Emma Roberts would be a stellar choice for Brit. Emma is best known for her work in the "American Horror Story" franchise ... but was once a singing child star on Nickelodeon's "Unfabulous," which parallels Britney's own roots on "The Mickey Mouse Club."

Here's Blake Lively channeling Britney Spears at her movie premiere ... with a nod to one of the singer's most iconic looks.

Blake turned heads Tuesday at the "It Ends With Us" premiere in New York ... wearing a one-strap Versace dress once worn by Britney herself.

The homage to Britney comes on the heels of news about Britney's bestselling memoir being on track to be turned into a biopic.
