Kick Kennedy and Ben Affleck are finding common ground ... they're both wicked pissed about the ongoing chatter over their rumored romance, which just won't go away.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s daughter was in Venice, Los Angeles Friday night when a photog asked her straight up if she was dating Ben.

It's the first time Kick's been asked about Ben directly -- but she's not jumping at the chance to set the record straight once and for all ... instead, she skirts the question entirely.

Angelina Jolie is used to life in the limelight ... so much so, she calmly fended off a swarm of overzealous fans, who broke through her security to make contact with the A-Lister.

The actress-filmmaker stopped by the Toronto International Film Festival Sunday evening, where she presented her new film, "Without Blood," which she notably directed. But, her evening was nearly derailed after a swarm of fans seeking autographs cornered her at the industry event.

Watch the video ... one overeager fan even ran past her security detail and hugged Angie ... which shocked others in the crowd. You can hear an audible gasp when the too-close-for-comfort fan encounter happens!

Before this Los Angeles native in her summer tank top turned into an actress and model, she was just posing and cheesing for the camera, growing up in the '80s and began her acting career at just 4 years old ...

Her claim to fame came in the late '90s from her role in "Eve's Bayou" alongside Samuel Jackson and Jurnee Smollett and just a few years later she landed on Nickelodeon where she played Bobby's bestie on "Cousin Seeker."

Need another clue? In one of her movies, she danced it out with Ne-Yo!

Leonardo DiCaprio had a titanically good time in NYC this weekend ... clubbing and chatting with a woman who looks like his girlfriend.

The actor hit a club in the Big Apple ... customary baseball cap pulled low over his eyes -- though he went sans facemask while on the dancefloor at least.

Leo's chatting up a lady in these vids ... and, though it's hard to tell who it is, it very well could be his GF, Vittoria Ceretti.

Kathy Bates is ending her acting career ... saying she's got one more TV show left in the tank -- though she nearly didn't make it at all.

The actress opened up about the end of her career during an interview with the New York Times ... admitting her new role on "Matlock" -- where she plays an older, gender-flipped version of the same character from the '80s drama -- is her last part.

The way Bates tells it ... she was considering moving on from acting -- telling her agent she was offically done after a poor experience on a movie set. She wouldn't say which one.

"It's Showtime" ... Beetlejuice and Lydia Deetz' looks over the years are scary hot!

Here is a 36-year-old version of a freaky and frazzled Michael Keaton playing the ghost with the most Beetlejuice ... and a 15-year-old version of actress Winona Ryder goin' full goth as wedding-ready Lydia Deetz back in 1988 (left).

And 36 years later, these two characters are being reprised for the Tim Burton follow-up film "Beetlejuice Beetlejuice" with Keaton back with the recently deceased ... and Ryder's still "strange and unusual" rockin' her iconic spiky bangs (right).

An exorcism is bound to happen in the new film, so the question here is:

Sean Penn's not afraid of a little public PDA ... locking lips with his lady love on the sidewalk while looking head over heels in Spain.

The actor painted Madrid rojo this week ... enjoying a fun night filled with dinner, handholding and more than a few passionate kisses -- keeping the party going until the earlier morning hours, we're told.

We're also told he was hanging out with Valeria Nicov -- a Moldovan actress with credits in a few minor projects ... who couldn't help but snuggle up next to the star on the street.

Nicole Kidman's dealing with a tragedy in the family ... leaving the Venice Film Festival abruptly after her mother's death.

Halina Reijn -- director of Nicole's new movie "Babygirl" -- accepted the festival's best actress award on NK's behalf ... reading a prepared statement from the star.

Nicole's statement starts by revealing the tragic news about her mom, Janelle -- causing members of the audience to gasp -- and saying she needs to head home to be with her family.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's son, Pax Jolie-Pitt was involved in a car accident about two months before he was badly injured in an e-bike crash, TMZ has learned.

The 20-year-old wrecked his Tesla before midnight on May 19 when he crashed into a parked box truck outside RED Studios Hollywood, according to the company's incident report.

Thankfully, Pax was not hurt in that collision ... but pictures and video from the scene show the Tesla was likely totaled.

Jennifer Lopez is not letting her divorce from Ben Affleck stop her from supporting a film they made together ... she just hit up the premiere, while Ben's skipping out.

J Lo arrived in style at Friday's big debut for her and Ben's movie, "Unstoppable," which is showing at the Toronto International Film Festival ... and she's showing lots of skin in a bejeweled dress.

Ben co-produced the movie alongside his BFF, Matt Damon -- it tells the true story of wrestler Anthony Robles, who was born with one leg and overcame major hurdles on his way to becoming an NCAA Division I champion at Arizona State University.

Rebel Wilson is giving her second Los Angeles home -- which she used as an office -- another shot on the market ... TMZ has learned she's relisted the home for $3.85 million.

The Aussie star first listed the 5-bed, 6-bath pad back in early June for $4.15 million. She bought the place in 2016 for $2.95 million.

The home, with over 4,000 square feet of living space, was never Rebel's primary residence in L.A. -- we're told Rebel used it for meetings and filming social media content.

Prosecutors in New Mexico want another bite at the apple when it comes to Alec Baldwin, Jamie Foxx is going to address his health scare for the first time, and Ludacris is breaking out the big guns ... all this on today's TMZ TV Hot Takes.

First up on "TMZ Live," Charles and Babcock explain why prosecutors are trying to get another trial in the "Rust" shooting case.

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid have serious skin in the game ... showing a lot of it on a yacht in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.

The actor and his model girlfriend stripped down to a limited amount of swimwear for a sun-drenched day on the waters surrounding Sardinia, an island off the coast of Italy.

Bradley's catching Italian sun rays in some black board shorts ... and Gigi is working on her tan lines with a lavender bikini, while keeping her money maker in the shade courtesy of a matching bucket hat.

Distance makes the heart grow fonder ... but for Katy Perry, it was life-changing following her year-long split from Orlando Bloom.

The pop star reflected on the cause of her and Bloom's breakup in 2017 on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast ... admitting she wasn't fully in the relationship when they first linked up in 2016.

She added ... "I was fresh out of a relationship, and I was just like, ‘I can’t do this anymore. I need to go swim in a different pond,’ but I had yet to do a lot of real work."

"Rust" prosecutor Kari T. Morrissey wants another shot at trying Alec Baldwin ... and has asked the judge to reconsider the decision to dismiss the involuntary manslaughter charge against the actor.

In new court documents filed Wednesday ... Morrissey went after Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer's grounds for dismissing the case -- in which she ruled Baldwin had been prejudiced by the prosecution's suppression of evidence.

This meant Baldwin could not be charged with involuntary manslaughter in the case again ... but prosecutors are now asking the judge to reconsider her ruling.

Jamie Foxx is set to unveil the full scoop on his mysterious health scare that landed him in an ATL hospital last year ... teasing the full confession will happen on his new upcoming one-man show.

The actor dropped the news on IG this week -- promoting "One More Chance: An Evening with Jamie Foxx" ... teasing a deep dive into his health scare saga.

The witty line “What Had Happened Was” is splashed across a black background for the main promo ... so it looks like Jamie’s keeping things light.
