Denzel Washington is getting real about his battle with alcohol, admitting his wine consumption ravaged his body.

The Oscar-winning actor sat down for a wide-ranging interview with Esquire while promoting his new flick "Gladiator II" — and, at one point, he went into detail about his love for expensive wines.

Denzel said it started in earnest in 1999 when he constructed a ten-thousand-bottle wine cellar in his house, which only served to enhance his booze intake.

Demi Moore, Julianne Moore and Selena Gomez were among a bevy of stars attending Tuesday's "Elle Women In Hollywood" event — and all the ladies looked stunning in their amazing outfits.

Demi, Julianne, Selena and the other celebs arrived on the red carpet at the Four Seasons Hotel on Tuesday night, posing for a slew of paparazzi pics.

Check out the photos ... Demi sparkled in her gold reflective dress; Julianne looked elegant in her red gown; and Selena was a sight to see in her black jumpsuit.

Actor Ray Santiago was 20 years old when he played Jorge -- the alleged son of Gaylord "Greg" Focker -- in the sequel rom-com film "Meet The Fockers" back in 2004.

Ray was part of an ensemble cast including Ben Stiller as the the awkward and funny nurse, Greg and Teri Polo as the school teacher and expecting mom-to-be, Pamela Martha Focker.

Other worthy cast mentions include Dustin Hoffman as Greg's fun and eccentric father, Bernie and Barbra Streisand as the down-to-earth sex therapist and Greg's mother, Roz.

Santiago was also in "Accepted" with Justin Long and Blake Lively.

Dan Hennessey, a veteran Canadian voice actor behind many iconic cartoon characters, has died, TMZ has learned.

Dan's family tells TMZ ... he died Wednesday at home in his sleep from complications associated with Parkinson's disease.

You’ve definitely heard his voice at some point -- he voiced Chief Quimby on "Inspector Gadget," George Raccoon on "The Raccoons," Father Bear on "Little Bear" and Braveheart on "The Care Bears."

Gene Wilder’s Bel Air home just had its price slashed by $3.5M, now sitting at a still-eye-watering $9.5M ... with a requirement that the future buyer must preserve the property's legacy.

The listing agent, Drew Meyers of Westside Estate Agency, tells TMZ the previous owner -- Elon Musk -- tacked on a restrictive covenant to the sale to preserve the historic nature of the property ... meaning the house that was originally listed in August for just under $13M can't be torn down.

Drew adds ... "A house of this significance should never be torn down. It should be restored and brought back to life while maintaining its beautiful soul. We want to make sure it’s sold to someone who appreciates its timelessness.”

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.

Florence Pugh is getting real about her reproductive health -- explaining it was a "mindboggling realization" that she had to freeze her eggs at 27 after her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis diagnosis.

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.

Snoop Dogg and his wife, Shante Broadus, were all smiles on the red carpet, serving major couple goals in matching white outfits.

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.

But, the three A-listers were just the tip of the iceberg … a truckload of celebs arrived in their classiest outfits on the red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo are bringing "Wicked" in for a landing ... appearing at a film premiere in London ahead of the much-anticipated movie's release in theaters.

Jeff Goldblum and Bowen Yang joined Ariana, Cynthia and the rest of the cast Monday on the green carpet across the pond ... and everyone was looking super stylish.

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.
