50 Cent won't have to pack up his G-Unit studios from Shreveport after all -- the Louisiana Senate voted to keep the state's alluring film tax credit -- albeit, trimming the fat by several million!!!

Things were looking bleak last week when the state House of Representatives eliminated the $150 million incentive for the 2025 fiscal year ... but Variety reports the state Senate Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee agreed to secure the state's film jobs with a newly approved budget of $125 million.

50 admitted the abrupt announcements had him a little restless, but he promised to rev the studio back up with renewed energy.

Alec Baldwin is not off the hook for Halyna Hutchins' death as far as the "Rust" cinematographer's Ukrainian family is concerned -- her mother is ripping into him, and refusing to attend the film's debut screening.

Olga Solovey says Baldwin "continues to increase my pain with his refusal to apologize to me and his refusal to take responsibility for her death. Instead, he seeks to unjustly profit from his killing of my daughter."

She says there's been no justice for her daughter, and as a result, she will not attend the film's premiere Wednesday at Poland’s EnergaCAMERIMAGE Film Festival. Halyna's mother, father and sister all live in Ukraine, which neighbors Poland ... so, it would be the easiest way for them to see Halyna's final film.

The actress, now 28, revealed on the "SHE MD podcast" that her L.A. gyno, Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, ran an egg count and confirmed her potential future infertility struggles -- and she didn't sugarcoat it, informing her that her plan of waiting 5 years to have kids wasn’t the best option.

The "Midsommar" star was told to freeze her eggs, and she didn’t hesitate to do so ... especially as she had known she wanted kids ever since she was a kid.

Lindsay Lohan may've stepped out to support her new Christmas movie ... but she ended up bringing the heat thanks to her sheer, backless dress for the premiere.

Check it out ... the actress posed for pictures on the red carpet for the New York City premiere of Netflix's "Our Little Secret" -- a new romcom starring LiLo, Ian Harding, and Kristin Chenoweth, among others.

Lindsay wasn't afraid to show some skin for the promotional event, as her dress featured a dramatic V-neckline -- which was adorned with bejeweled clasps. The ensemble also included a drastically low-cut back and a see-through skirt ... giving fans a glimpse of her fit frame.

Denzel Washington is walking back his claim a same-sex kiss was cut from "Gladiator II" ... after director Ridley Scott said the lip lock "didn't happen."

We're not sure what was more tense at the Los Angeles premiere for the 'Gladiator' sequel ... the action on the big screen, or Denzel and Ridley addressing the now debated man-on-man smooch.

Denzel, who plays a former slave-turned-arms dealer named Macrinus in the flick, said the reaction to his comments was "much ado about nothing" ... accusing the media of making it more than it was.

The stars of "Gladiator 2" turned the Hollywood premiere into their own Colosseum showdown, strutting down the red carpet like warriors -- and every one of them brought their A-game to claim the spotlight.

Alec Baldwin’s Western flick "Rust" has been tangled in controversy ever since Halyna Hutchins' on-set death 3 years ago ... but it's finally getting its moment 'cause people are scrambling for tickets to the world premiere.

The movie’s dropping Wednesday at Poland’s EnergaCAMERIMAGE Film Festival -- but when tickets went live for festival-goers early Tuesday morning, the system crashed from all the crazy demand.

Shortly after 8 AM in Poland, a message popped up on the site saying, "The Camerimage portal is currently undergoing system maintenance." By around 8:35 AM, The Hollywood Reporter says some users were able to get back on and grab their tickets.

Hollywood’s most famous stars lit up the 2024 Governors Awards Sunday night — and the eye-popping guest list included Jennifer Lopez, Nicole Kidman and Selena Gomez.

Jeff had a furry ensemble from Burberry ... he's playing The Wizard in the new musical.

Michael Peña plays in a band, but music isn't really an escape for him ... because he's just going from one gig to the next ... keeping his day job as an actor too.

We got the 'Ant-Man' star at LAX and our photog asked him if leaving movie sets to play onstage with Nico Vega is a nice break from acting.

But, as Michael explains, the grind never stops ... he's on his way to Mexico to play a show, but then has to fly back down to Australia to film at the end of the week ... so he's got a lot on his plate.

Sabrina Carpenter was working late, 'cause she's a singer -- serving major glam vibes as she lit up the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California for the latest stop on her "Short n’ Sweet" tour.

The singer's audience Sunday night was a total star-studded affair ... with Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, Katy Perry, Cara Delevingne, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and even Blue Ivy -- solo, no Beyoncé -- front and center, soaking in Sabrina’s show-stopping, lingerie-inspired looks as she brought the house down.

John Mayer, Robin Thicke, Noah Cyrus, and Madelaine Petsch were also spotted vibing to Sabrina’s set -- proving this was the place to be.

Another one of Camryn Bynum's interception celebrations has gotten a big thumbs up from its inspiration ... Lindsay Lohan revealed over the weekend she absolutely loved his "The Parent Trap" salute!

The Minnesota Vikings star, of course, hit the handshake celly alongside Josh Metellus during Minnesota's game against the Jets last month ... and when Lohan was finally asked about it on Sunday's "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" -- she called it "the coolest thing to see."

It appears the "Call Me By Your Name" star was dedicated to accurately portraying Dylan ... obsessively studying the performer to the point he couldn't shake BD's speaking voice at times. However, it's Chalamet's singing voice that's drawn quite a bit of speculation ... with some wondering if he was really singing in the trailer released back in July.

Tim Matheson says he's lucky he never got too big into cocaine ... saying he played hard -- but, he worried too much about how the white stuff would affect his work to get addicted.

The star of "Animal House" spoke with Page Six about his new memoir, "Damn Glad to Meet You" -- a reference to a line his character says to prospective pledges in the iconic college fraternity film -- and, he explains that because he was a working actor, he was afraid of overindulging in coke.

Basically, Matheson says he wasn't a star and lived paycheck to paycheck ... and, he was acutely aware he could lose his income unless he continued to perform well.
