Jake Lloyd, the former child star who played Anakin Skywalker in the 'Star Wars' prequel trilogy, has emerged for the first time in over a year ... after previously seeking treatment for schizophrenia at a mental health facility.

The retired actor appeared to be doing well during a recent outing in Los Angeles, where he swung by his local gym, hit his vape a few times, and recycled a number of protein shake boxes.

Jake looked to be keeping a low profile ... keeping his head down while sporting a freshly trimmed beard.

"The Godfather" could have turned out to be a completely different flick, because it turns out Al Pacino was very nearly given the axe from his iconic portrayal of Michael Corleone!

The role eventually landed Al an Oscar nom, so it’s wild to think the studio initially wanted Ryan O’Neal, Robert Redford, or Warren Beatty instead. And, even after director Francis Ford Coppola championed Pacino for the gig, the journey to prove the naysayers wrong was super rocky.

Al spills the tea in his memoir "Sonny Boy" ... saying just a week and a half into filming, Francis dropped the bomb that Paramount wasn’t feeling him for the role.

Olivia Munn is basking in the glow of motherhood ... sharing an up-close look at her first month with newborn daughter Méi June Mulaney.

The actress posted a series of sweet photos and videos from her little girl's first month at home ... giving a glimpse of how she and husband John Mulaney are adjusting to life as parents of 2.

Olivia, who welcomed her baby girl via surrogacy last month, looks happier than ever ... cradling little Méi in a number of heartwarming photos. Though, as most new parents can relate, Olivia and John look a little sleep-deprived in a few shots ... which makes sense since Méi appears to need frequent belly rubs during bedtime.

Martin Lawrence is all about spreading the love where it counts, making it clear he’s not losing sleep over the wave of critics coming for "Bad Boys 4."

We caught up with the movie star at LAX Monday, and he had some sage words for the critics of his latest action flick installment, telling us they’re entitled to their opinions, but at the end of the day, it’s the fans who loved the movie that matter most -- after all, they’re the ones keeping the lights on.

He also spilled the beans on whether he’d be up for a fifth 'Bad Boys' movie with his buddy Will Smith, and you’ll want to check out the video to catch his thoughts.

Anne Hathaway has returned to her "Ella Enchanted" roots for a Kamala Harris fundraiser in NYC ... impressively belting out Queen's "Somebody to Love" for the crowd.

Check it out ... the actress took the stage at the Broadway for Harris event, where she loudly and proudly sang out the rock band's most famous love ballad. And, not for nothin', she sounded pretty solid, too!!!

Of course, Anne is no stranger to the tune, as her character in the "Ella Enchanted" film also belted out the Queen anthem in one iconic scene.

Harrison Ford is quite the dapper Hollywood superstar, but he’s taking a trip down memory lane and cringing at one particularly iconic look.

The movie star confessed that looking back at pics of him from the 1982 Cannes Film Festival, where he was rocking unbelievably short shorts, makes his stomach turn -- In fact, in his own words, he quipped to GQ, "I think I’m going to be ill."

Harrison's full look comprised a navy blue sweater and matching shorts that seem a touch too teeny for comfort.

"The Apprentice" director Ali Abbasi isn't sweating Donald Trump's harsh criticism of his flick ... in fact, he's encouraging 45 to keep posting about the biopic.

We caught up with the filmmaker on "TMZ Live" Monday, where we got Abbasi's honest reaction to Trump blasting "The Apprentice" on his social media platform, Truth Social.

As Abbasi puts it ... he has no problem with the former prez taking to social media to air his grievances, as the reaction only brings more eyeballs to the controversial movie.

7:38 AM PT -- A source with direct knowledge tells TMZ ... there's no beef between the women -- the clip takes place after the show ended and Nicole Kidman was on her way out.

Nicole Kidman and Salma Hayek exchanged words and put hands on each other at the Balenciaga show in France last month, according to a new video.

The actresses were attending the September 30 event as part of Paris Fashion Week -- and things got a bit tense as they posed for paparazzi photos.

Check out the clip ... Nicole is face-to-face with Salma, saying something to her.

Simu Liu is standing firm in his decision to call out one business for cultural appropriation ... after facing off against the owners on a "Shark Tank"-esque show.

The actor, who is Chinese-Canadian, appeared on a recent episode of CBC's "Dragons' Den" ... where businesses pitch their ventures to potential investors.

The Marvel superstar bubbled over with frustration after Sebastien Fiset and Jess Frenette pitched their version of bubble tea, or boba, titled Bobba ... claiming they had transformed the popular Asian beverage into "a convenient and healthier ready-to-drink experience."

American actor Kevin Chevalia was only 7 years old when he played Jamie Seaver -- the youngest kid and owner of Chance the rascally bulldog -- in the 1993 animal adventure film "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey."

Kevin shared the big screen with Benj Thall as Jamie's feisty brother who loves spending time with Shadow, Peter, Sally Field who voiced the bold and wise Himalayan cat, Sassy and Michael J. Fox who voiced the rescued American Bulldog puppy, Chance.

In 1996, Chevalia reprised his role in "Homeward Bound II: Lost in San Francisco."

Donald Trump wants a 'Full Metal' military ... playing a video at last night's rally calling out Kamala Harris for wanting a "woke military" -- and playing clips from Stanley Kubrick's "Full Metal Jacket."

The former POTUS was in Coachella, California Saturday night when he started talking military ... and, he played a video which is easier to watch than explain.

The video -- which Trump has since posted and pinned to the top of his X account -- shows a version of America's military run by him vs the military he says "Comrade" Kamala Harris will run.

Dennis Quaid doesn't just play former presidents, he also campaigns for them ... stepping up to the mic during a Donald Trump rally in SoCal's Coachella Valley, and declaring it's time "to pick a side."

Fresh off his starring role in "Reagan" -- who Dennis called his favorite prez of the 20th century -- the actor sang Trump's praises before the candidate came on stage.

While wearing a MAGA cap, Quaid asked the crowd, “Are we gonna be a nation that stands for the Constitution or for TikTok?” He also compared Trump to Ronald Reagan, saying the nation is facing some of the same issues it did during the 1980 election.

Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria Ceretti are sticking to popular European transport back stateside ... riding bikes through the Big Apple and hanging with a member of Leo's fam.

The actor and his model girlfriend hit the New York City streets Saturday ... with the two hopping on bicycles and flying down the streets -- Leo in his usual incognito mask and hat combo.

Check out the pics ... while he's trying not to attract too much attention, he needs his nose to breathe during the physical activity -- and, it's pretty clearly him even with the mask on.

It may be all peace and love in these two photos of Anne Hathaway, but we know her fashion sense has come a long way since her "Andy Sachs" days ... Do you have the keen eye to track down the minor alterations? Legs go!

Arriving in style, Hathaway rocked a trench coat with some thigh highs and took some time to greet her fans after leaving "The Apprentice" premiere in NYC earlier this week. Browse brows over the photos and see if you can find the mishaps.

Adam Sandler is getting back into character as "Happy Gilmore" and working on his golf game ... taking swings at a driving range on the set of the much-anticipated sequel.

The Sandman was spotted filming scenes for "Happy Gilmore 2" with a golf club in hand ... hacking away with an iron at a golf course.

No drivers this time ... seems Happy is working on his short game, which, let's face it, has never really been Gilmore's strong suit.

T.I. has said his days of sweating on stage performing are OVER ... a conclusion that just so "happens" to coincide with winning a $71 million judgment!!!
