"Stranger Things" star Brett Gelman is speaking out after the arrest of Luigi Mangione -- the suspect charged in the murder of a healthcare executive in New York -- saying while the U.S. healthcare system is broken, that's no excuse to commit murder.

We caught up with the actor at LAX Tuesday ... Gelman tells TMZ he understands the frustration with healthcare, but made it clear that being fed up with the system doesn’t give you the right to go out and kill someone.

Check out the video ... because Brett dishes more thoughts on the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson ... telling us the way whoever did the crime should’ve made a point about the healthcare system if he really wanted.

Brooks Nader is making a gas station her runway after getting all dolled up in a flamin' hot outfit for everyday errands.

Kate Upton had her fans concerned last month after posting a worrisome scenario to her Instagram ... but the SI Swimsuit legend is now clarifying the details of the note, saying it had nothing to do with her husband, MLB star Justin Verlander.

As we previously reported, Upton asked her followers about a situation involving a 10-year-old girl traveling with her intoxicated dad ... the father threatens a taxi driver with a gun "if he does not drop them off on the highway at midnight to walk home."

Upton then speculated whether the described scene was an emergency or crime and how "lawyers/judges/advocates/law enforcement/parents" would feel about the matter... but did not explain what exactly was going on until Monday.

Selena Gomez has come a long way from her Disney Channel days -- just like Zendaya, Miley Cyrus and Nickelodeon alum Ariana Grande, with all four former child stars getting nods for the 2025 Golden Globes.

The noms dropped Monday morning, and Selena snagged TWO -- She’s up for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a TV Series (Musical or Comedy) for "Only Murders in the Building" and Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for Netflix’s "Emilia Pérez."

Selena hit up her IG Stories to share her shock over her "Emilia Pérez" nom -- her reaction coming straight from bed as she processed the early morning news.

The actress posted on her Instagram account Sunday, where she called out a recent report that claimed Suri had become a millionaire in her own right thanks to a trust fund she inherited from dad Tom Cruise -- as well as one from her mom.

Yet, as Katie clarified in her upload, this report was a bunch of hogwash ... with the "Dawson's Creek" alum slamming the article as "completely false."

Joey Lawrence and Samantha Cope are showing that love conquers all. The couple, who recently called off their divorce, stepped out publicly for the first time, sending a clear message that things are going great between them.

Kelsey Grammer wasn’t letting a foot injury slow him down -- he was cruising around London on a scooter like it was no big deal!

The "Frasier" star was all smiles despite rocking a cast on his leg, showing no signs of slowing down as he made his way through the crowds with the help of his trusty transportation Saturday.

Kelsey had one knee on the scooter for balance, and it looks like he probably knew he'd warm up after picking up some speed ... 'cause apart from a sweater and some jeans, the guy wasn't doing a whole lot to bundle up in the chilly British city.

It’s unclear how he got the injury, and it's definitely not the break he needed after wrapping up season two of his "Frasier" revival recently.
