Kristin Chenoweth is standing by her prayers for Diddy ... even though the rapper is currently in federal detention, awaiting trial on racketeering and sex trafficking charges.

We caught up with the Broadway legend in New York City and asked her if she is still keeping Diddy in her thoughts ... given the gravity of the charges brought against him in September.

Per Kristin, she's "still praying" for Diddy ... but acknowledged the case against the Bad Boy Records founder is "really bad."

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger just welcomed their third baby -- and the pair took to IG to share the happy news.

There was no baby pics in their Monday post -- just a sweet, simple shot of their son’s name, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt, and his Friday birth date.

Their caption kept it simple -- "Mama and baby are doing well, and Ford’s siblings are thrilled by his arrival. We feel so blessed and grateful. Love, Katherine and Chris."

Issa Rae’s getting her fandom to hit the books -- especially since Georgia State University College of Law is now offering a whole course breaking down the business and legal side of her life.

The actress gave TMZ the scoop on "The Legal Life of Issa Rae" course, a deep dive into the behind-the-scenes magic that’s fueled her entertainment success -- and she tells us if you're curious about any part of the biz, that’s the class to sign up for.

The course also breaks down Issa’s real-world contracts, giving students a chance to study how those deals go down and what an entertainment lawyer really does -- all thanks to the institution's law professor Moraima "Mo" Ivory, who created the course.

Action star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is coming clean about some recent reports of his behavior on set ... admitting to his method of taking care of emergency business when nature calls -- but denying he's costing production millions of dollars in downtime.

In a new interview with GQ, DJ responds to a rumor going around Hollywood prompted by an article earlier this year, alleging he was so late so often on the set of an upcoming movie that he cost the production exorbitant sums of money -- and also, that he urinates in bottles on set.

The Wrap reported in April Johnson was so regularly tardy during production of "Red One" -- an upcoming Christmas flick in which he plays Santa Claus' bodyguard -- sometimes by as much as 8 hours, that it added to a $250 million production cost and irritated his castmates. The report also alleges he pees in bottles to save time.

Tom Cruise is upping the ante for his next 'Mission: Impossible' movie ... pulling off another jaw-dropping stunt for the spy thriller franchise.

Check it out ... the new trailer for "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" dropped Monday, with Cruise back in action as super-spy Ethan Hunt. This, of course, meant the stunt-loving actor underwent a number of grueling action sequences ... including one where he clung onto a plane as it did aerial spins.

While we're sure there were several safety protocols in place during the stunt, the final product is certainly impressive ... given the fact it looks as though Cruise could've fallen to his death if it had gone even slightly awry.

Mattel's got a "Wicked" big problem on its hands ... 'cause it added a URL to the back of its Elphaba and Glinda toys -- and, it turns out it's a very NSFW site.

Here's the deal ... the toy company's pushing dolls of characters from the movie based on the Broadway musical of the same name -- mainly selling action figures of the two main witches.

On the back of the dolls, they put a URL to the website "www.wicked.com" ... in case people who purchase the toys want to buy more -- except, that's not the company's website. It's a porn site!

TMZ may collect a share of sales or other compensation from links on this page.

TMZ obtained video of J Lo making her way inside Saturday night's event at Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in DTLA, but the actress/singer stopped to acknowledge her many admirers.

Check out the clip ... As J Lo walks toward a large archway with "Wicked" emblazoned across the top, fans are screaming her name from behind police barriers lining either side of the street.

Robert Vito -- an actor who starred in a 'Spy Kids' movie and several other shows in the early 2000s -- was arrested Friday on a felony domestic violence charge ... TMZ has learned.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... officers responded to Vito's L.A.-area home Friday night after they received a call about an alleged domestic violence incident.

Our sources say Vito and his girlfriend allegedly got into a verbal argument which turned physical ... and, Vito apparently pushed her into some furniture. Cops also tell us Vito allegedly threw his young son onto the couch before knocking him down.

Barry Keoghan's looks over the years are so hot they may just give you heartburn "Saltburn"!

Here is a 25-year-old version of the handsome Irish actor showing a smooth-shaven face at Paris Fashion Week back in 2017 (left). This was the year he landed roles in "Dunkirk" and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer".

And 7 years later, a scruffy and smiley Barry hit Toronto, Canada for the premiere of his new film "Bird" -- which dropped earlier this weekend (right).

We know how Sabrina Carpenter feels about her man, Mr. Keoghan, but "Please, please, please" answer the question:

"Joker: Folie à Deux" was always going to be a flop, and even members of the cast knew it ... this according to one of those very actors.

Tim Dillon -- a comedian who appears in the critically-reviled film -- stopped by "The Joe Rogan Experience" earlier this week ... and, during the three-hour discussion, the two chatted about TD's new flick bombing at the box office.

Dillon's unequivocal here ... calling the movie literally the "worst film ever made" -- saying he think the creatives behind it got cold feet when there was pushback from film critics on some of the first film's themes.

Kevin DiCicco, the man who owned Buddy -- star of the popular "Air Bud" movies -- and helped create the film series is in dire straits ... he's homeless, about to be kicked out of the shelter where he's staying.

TMZ spoke to DiCicco Saturday ... who tells us he's staying at a shelter down in San Diego, but his 90-day limit is coming to an end soon -- and, he has no idea where he'll go from here. It's the end of the line ... and, he's terrified.

Kevin -- who found future dog actor Buddy near his Yosemite cabin and took him in back in the day -- explains his next step seems to be living on the street ... complicated by the major health issue with which he is dealing.

Sally Field was not having much of a fun birthday on Wednesday ... which was on full display when she was snapped trashing her Kamala Harris signs after Donald Trump won reelection.

Looking somewhat dejected, Sally tossed the signs into the trash cans outside her Los Angeles home ... clearly showing she was at best, sad -- at worst, pissed -- over DT's victory.

Back in August, Sally posted on IG when Harris officially accepted the nomination ... "I've not been on social media. Not since it became public toilet paper for our former crook of a President. But 'hope is making a comeback.' So here I am. This is me. And this is my dog, Dash. Buckle up,"

SF was among the cavalcade of stars who put their full support behind Kamala ... endorsements that clearly did nothing to move the needle -- as evident in DT also winning the popular vote this time around.

One celeb who backed Trump -- Kid Rock -- definitely celebrated DT's win ... and made a surprising request to his fans and fellow Trumpers ... let's all just get along now!

In a video he posted to IG ... KD dropped the act and appeared as himself, Robert Ritchie ... and told his fans it's time to come together as a country and let go of animosity for one another.

"We must remember that most of our left-leaning friends are good people who want the same things in life as we do, but simply think differently on how to get there," he implored.

Taylor Swift had a LOOOOONG dinner Friday night with pal Zoë Kravitz, and at the end of the evening it kinda showed!

TS and Zoe hit up Chez Margaux in NYC's Meatpacking District. The photo agency says they were there for 8 hours ... seems a little overblown, but it was apparently a long night.

On her way out, the superstar seemed a bit unsteady ... after all, how could wine not have been on the menu for a great French meal!?!

Jennifer Lawrence rocked an elegant look while out Thursday night in La La Land ... and her baby bump was on full display.

JL appeared to be all biz while leaving a restaurant with doggie bag in hand ... while she sported a brown midi dress with a V-neck, a black leather jacket and lack ballet flats -- and of course, her bump was showing, too!

Jennifer's rep confirmed last month the Oscar-winning star was expecting ... this being her second child with husband, Cooke Maroney, who she married in 2019.

The Hallmark Channel is bringing the magic of its Christmas movies to the high seas ... launching 2 star-studded cruises set to put anyone in the holiday spirit.

One of the 2 crossings -- both of which are sold out -- has already left from Miami, Florida and is heading out for the crystal blue waters of Nassau, Bahamas ... with a number of the channel's fan-favorites onboard.

The first crossing features an appearance from Jonathan Bennett, who has been lovingly dubbed the "Gay King of Christmas" by Hallmark Channel fans and is hosting the getaway. As you can see in new video obtained by TMZ ... he is already getting up close and personal with guests.
