American actress Samantha Mathis was in her mid-20s when she played Amy March -- the youngest March sister known for manipulative ways and artistic beauty -- in the family film "Little Women" back in 1994.

Mathis was part of an ensemble cast including Kirsten Dunst who played the young version of Amy ... Winona Ryder as the straightforward tomboy who loves writing, Jo March and Christian Bale as the wealthy and charming neighbor, Theodor "Laurie" Laurence.

Other cast-worthy mentions include Susan Sarandon as Marmee March and Claire Danes as Beth March.

Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothée Chalamet were caught smooching on the street in the Big Apple ... but TC's girlfriend, Kylie Jenner, has nothing to be jealous about ... 'cause it was only for a movie.

Gwyneth and Timothée were filming Wednesday on the set of their new sports flick, "Marty Supreme," in NYC, where the actors were seen in the throes of passion during one scene.

Check out the video ... Gwyneth, in a red gown, stands behind Timothée, in a suit and tie, attaching a necklace around his neck.

The stars of "Napoleon Dynamite" dropped by a freaking sweet Missouri diner over the weekend, where they gave customers a thrill ... while rumors of a sequel to the iconic flick continue.

The trio from the immensely popular 2004 comedy film was finally noticed by a customer amid the commotion ... and the fan floodgates opened. But it was all good ... DR tells us the 3 were super chill and granted all snap and autograph requests ... before leaving a "quite large" tip.

Selena Gomez was in a generous mood after a fancy dinner ... giving a homeless man some cash for a meal of his own ... and it's all on video.

The singer and "Only Murders In The Building" star was leaving Nobu Fifty Seven in New York City Tuesday night when she stopped to take a couple pictures with fans and sign autographs ... and afterward, a panhandler asked her for money.

Selena stopped in her tracks on her way to a waiting SUV and asked her bodyguard if he had any cash ... and ended up giving the homeless man a $20 bill, telling him to "have a good meal."

'Tis the season for clowns ... and, while "Joker: Folie à Deux" was supposed to reign supreme as Clown Prince of Cinema, a more horrifying harlequin is crushing the box office.

"Terrifier 3" -- a low-budget gory horror flick following a serial killer dressed as a clown -- hit the box office this past week and has soared past 'Joker 2' already ... raking in $18 million while 'Joker 2' made just $7 million this weekend.

We sat down with David Howard Thornton -- who played Art the Clown in all three 'Terrifer' films -- and, he tells us he's stunned ... calling this a David and Goliath matchup of a small indie film against a massive studio project.

Sydney Sweeney seems to be getting a feeling of euphoria from working out ... 'cause she's showing off her muscles in new photos from the Christy Martin biopic set.

The actress shared a couple pics early Wednesday morning to show off the character transformation ... saying paparazzi photos -- taken last week -- already spoiled the surprise for everyone, so she's got no issue sharing the pics from set.

SS is outfitted in a pair of gray sweatpants and a red tank top ... showing off her powerful arms while making a muscle for the camera.

Cynthia Erivo has had enough of the fan edits surrounding the upcoming "Wicked" movie ... including one viral image of the reworked movie poster.

The actress, who plays Elphaba in the highly anticipated "Wicked" film, issued a statement on Instagram Wednesday after fans took it upon themselves to edit the movie's poster to look more like the one used for the Broadway musical.

Check it out ... the new image is edited to cast a shadow over Cynthia's eyes from the Wicked Witch's wide-brimmed hat ... much like it does in the original illustration.

Albuquerque, New Mexico native and actress Jessica Lowe was in her mid-20s when she played Ginger -- the mousy voiced step mother and Eddy's wife -- in the rom-com film "Blended" back in 2014.

Jessica was part of an ensemble cast including Kevin Nealon as Ginger's husband who lives in Vancouver, Eddy, Adam Sandler as the clumsy manager at Dick's Sporting Goods, Jim, and Drew Barrymore as the professional closet organizer who falls in love with Jim, Lauren.

Jessica was also in the drama series "The Righteous Gemstones" with Danny McBride and Adam DeVine.

Sydney Sweeney's neighbors are likely feeling lucky the actress lives next door ... since the "Euphoria" starlet recently played a pivotal role in apprehending a burglar.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Sydney was away from her Los Angeles-area home filming the Christy Martin biopic on the East Coast, when her security cameras alerted her to a person sneaking around her property.

We're told the suspect made their way onto Sydney's property around 3:30 AM Monday ... but didn't stay in her yard for long, as the trespasser then made their way over to her neighbor's place.

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.
