Chris Pratt Bet On Me, Of Course ... Not the Horse!!!

In a race against a horse, who'd win -- the horse or Chris Pratt?

If you guessed the horse and not the guy who plays Star-Lord in "Guardians of the Galaxy," then you're probably right -- but that didn't stop Pratt from sizing up a horse while filming an extensive workout scene Sunday in LA.

Unclear what movie he's shooting, or if he's actually racing the horse -- but Chris is focusing on work after the split from Anna Faris. Seems to be paying off, because he's in great shape.

Chris Martin & Dakota Johnson Our Love Life's a Beach!!! And Kenny G Agrees

Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin are going public -- the new couple strolled on the beach over the weekend, packed on some PDA and, for good measure ... hung out with Kenny G.

Chris and Dakota have been dating for a few months, but previously took great measures to keep it private. That all changed Sunday in Malibu ... where the "Fifty Shades of Grey" star and Chris looked inseparable.

They had some unexpected company on the beach when Kenny G popped up, sadly without his saxophone. So, no Coldplay-Kenny G collab.

That Dakota's a lucky woman.

James Franco No-Show at Critics' Choice Upset, Frustrated

James Franco was nowhere to be seen Thursday night at the Critics' Choice awards because he was extremely upset over sexual misconduct allegations against him ... sources connected to Franco tell TMZ.

Franco won Best Actor in a Comedy Film but was not in the hangar at the Santa Monica Airport to claim the trophy.

Our sources say the actor is in a bad place ... upset and frustrated over allegations he says are untrue. Franco endured several grillings on talk shows in the last few days, saying he'd rather take a bullet than cast aspersions on the #MeToo movement.

One source said on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being inconsolable, Franco's a 6.

He flew to L.A. Thursday to attend the awards, but obviously had a change of heart.

'Avengers 4' Who Lives, Who Dies ... Piece of Cake

WARNING: POTENTIAL HUGE 'AVENGERS 4' SPOILER ALERT!!!

'Avengers 4' had its wrap party Thursday and the centerpiece was a giant Thanos cake, but it's what was underneath the franchise's evil villain that could give away who survives in the flick.

Look closely ... you'll see 4 arms holding up the platform on which Thanos is standing. They appear to be the arms of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Vision (Paul Bettany), Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). Pay attention to the fingernails, claws and colors of the suits.

Marvel execs have hinted some of the superheroes wouldn't make it past "Avengers: Infinity War," which hits theaters in May, and this 'Avengers' film won't see the box office til 2019, so a lot can happen.

The burning question ... do the 4 conquer Thanos, or are they the ones who succumb to his evil powers? Some 'Avengers' fans believe Captain America doesn't make it, and if that's the case the 4 here would be Thanos' worst nightmare.

Not the first time a cake's given something away.

Timbaland Drops $4 Million for SICK Miami Condo!!!

Timbaland knows value when he sees it ... that's why he dropped FOUR MILLION BUCKS for a condo that's still under construction.

The mega hitmaker spent a small fortune on this plush Miami crib in the 53-story Aria on the Bay building that's nearing completion. Timbaland's oasis is a 6-bedroom, 8-bathroom pad that will include 2 private elevators. The new digs will be finished in about 2 months.

The condo's interior will be a sprawling 4,700 square feet and the terrace alone -- with unobstructed bay and ocean views -- is an expansive 1,200 square feet. The building's 648 luxury condos also have access to baller amenities -- pools, hot tubs, fire pits, private spa, and an indoor/outdoor bar.

How baller's the building? Yankees star Giancarlo Stanton bought a penthouse there.

Timbaland was repped by Tim Elmes and Marc Hameroff, and John Parsiani repped the seller.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Just Had a Kid?!?! ... Could've Fooled Us

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked absolutely incredible during a bikini photo shoot in the Bahamas this week ... this just six months after popping out a baby boy in June.

Goes to show, Jason Statham has a lot to be proud of after Rosie, his longtime girlfriend, gave birth to their first kid last summer ... count her post-birth bod as part of that.

This is the first bikini shoot the former Victoria's Secret Angel has done since giving birth, and it certainly looks like she's been putting in work since then.

The dad bod movement's got a lot of catching up to do. #NewMomBod
