Will Smith took one question about his net worth and turned it into a philosophical session ... but when pressed on how much he might be worth, the dude deflected.

The actor was asked by Complex's Speedy Morman if it was true his net worth was $350M as listed on Google ... but Will laughed it off, saying he didn't really keep track of that stuff. So in other words, he didn't confirm or deny.

Eventually, Will dove in on the question -- but only elaborated on his mindset, saying when he was coming up in Hollywood, he was all about making money. Not so much now though.

Rebel Wilson's claims against Sacha Baron Cohen are becoming more clear -- because an excerpt from her new book is out ... and she details a pretty disturbing story about him.

The actress's new memoir, 'Rebel Rising,' is due out in a few days ... and People Mag obtained an excerpt -- which features descriptions of things Rebel claims happened on the set of their 2016 flick 'The Brothers Grimsby' ... including a lot of inappropriate behavior.

She writes, "It felt like every time I’d speak to SBC, he’d mention that he wanted me to go naked in a future scene. I was like, 'Ha, I don’t do nudity, Sacha.'"

Director Ridley Scott appeared seriously frustrated after he was inadvertently caught in the crossfire, figuratively, during the federal raid on Diddy's Los Angeles-area home.

Check out the new photos showing the Oscar nominee getting out of his vehicle Monday after law enforcement blocked him from getting to his home in Holmby Hills ... not a great day to be Diddy's neighbor.

As police taped off the neighborhood street near Diddy's $40 million mansion, the filmmaker was spotted stuck in traffic amid the chaos.

Jake Gyllenhaal's new flick, "Road House," packs one helluva punch ... but Key West's Mayor ain't too thrilled with how their sunny paradise has been portrayed on-screen.

Teri Johnston, the mayor of Key West, tells TMZ ... while she hasn't caught the film, she's not pleased with its rowdy, drug-filled, and crime-ridden portrayal of the Florida Keys ... saying that might've been The Keys in the '70s and '80s, but it's a whole new ball game in 2024!

Mayor Johnston lays down the facts ... telling us 90% of Key West residents are transplants  -- representing a diverse mix of environmentalists, artists, business owners, teachers, firefighters, and police officers.

Anne Hathaway says people in the public really didn't like her after she won her Oscar -- so much so, studios steered clear ... that is, until Christopher Nolan came knocking (again).

The actress opened up about to Vanity Fair about all the hate she was receiving in the early 2010s -- which reached its peak in 2013 when she took home a statuette for her role in "Les Misérables" ... when she gave a heartfelt (but to some, cringe-worthy) acceptance speech.

This phenomenon -- known at the time as "Hathahate" -- had actually been building up for a few years, going back to 2011 when she hosted the Oscars with James Franco. Even then, people were saying they found her a little too sincere, awkward and "annoying."

The door Kate Winslet infamously clung to at the end of "Titanic" has sold for a hefty price ... beating out other impressive film memorabilia at an auction.

The slab of wood that played a role in Leonardo DiCaprio's onscreen death recently sold for an impressive $718,750 during Heritage Auctions’ Treasures from Planet Hollywood event -- making it the priciest sale at the auction.

The door -- which is actually a doorframe, according to the auction's notes -- wasn't the only "Titanic" memorabilia sold at the event. The pale purple and pink chiffon dress Kate wore as Rose for most of the film's sinking scenes was also sold ... but only went for $125k.

Timothée Chalamet's at it again ... channeling his inner Bob Dylan while filming for the legend's biopic, "A Complete Unknown," in New York.

You gotta see the vid ... the 28-year-old absolutely nailed the singer-songwriter's signature style Sunday in downtown Manhattan, rocking a brown suede jacket, green pants, shades, and perfectly messy hair while stepping out of a car with a cigarette in hand.

The 'Dune' actor brings Dylan's swagger to life crossing the street outside El Quijote, the restaurant inside the Hotel Chelsea -- the very spot where the musical legend found his inspo!

7:11 AM PT -- A rep for Sacha Baron Cohen tells TMZ … "While we appreciate the importance of speaking out, these demonstrably false claims are directly contradicted by extensive detailed evidence, including contemporaneous documents, film footage, and eyewitness accounts from those present before, during and after the production of The Brothers Grimsby."

Rebel Wilson claims Sacha Baron Cohen is trying to make her keep his name out of her book as an "a**hole" in showbiz -- and she suggests he's trying to muzzle her.

The actress teased that one of the chapters in her forthcoming memoir, 'Rebel Rising,' will name a douchebag in Hollywood that she says she had a bad experience with -- teasing the prospect of identifying this alleged jerk nearly 2 weeks ago ahead of her book's release.

Welp, late Sunday ... she got ahead of her own deadline and called out this person directly on social media -- claiming Sacha's the guy, with some other choice words for him as well.

"Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire" fired up the box office this weekend, and the whole franchise passed an impressive milestone ... but some are saying producers shouldn't count their ghosts before they materialize.

According to reports, 'Ghostbusters' is projected to make $45.2 million in its opening weekend domestically -- taking the top spot by a wide margin over some incumbent champions of the theater.

Meanwhile, the movie got off to a mediocre start internationally ... taking home just $16.1 million in 25 global markets -- still, enough for an impressive opening weekend total of $61 million.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson gettin' his license to kill it as James Bond from a former 007 ... who tells us ATJ's got the toughness to handle the secret agent life.

George Lazenby -- who played Bond in 1969's "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" -- gave Aaron his seal of approval ... saying the 33-year-old can handle the stunts, and all the ladies who love a man in a tux.

Worth noting, Aaron's already got a leading lady of his own -- director/producer Sam Taylor-Johnson ... but we get where George is goin'.

Lazenby adds he's pretty sure Aaron doesn't have the part yet ... 'cause when he auditioned for the part back in the 1960s, he went through a bunch of different tests and auditions before he won the role.

James Bond has gone totally international now, according to George ... who points out the character's been played by people of different nationalities over the past 60 years, including a Scot, a Welshman, an Irishman, multiple Englishmen, and George himself, who is Australian.

Because of that variety of national origins, Lazenby says he's fine with wherever the actor happens to hail from ... as long as they do the character justice.

Tiffany Haddish is living a straight-and-narrow existence ... saying she's been off substances for well over two months -- though admitting it's not totally by choice.

The comedian joined "The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet" Friday where she revealed she's living the sober life these days ... claiming she hasn't drunk, smoked weed or done anything else in about 72 days.

TH says it hasn't been super hard for her ... 'cause she says she's never been a big user of substances anyway -- so she's cool with giving all that up.

But, don't get fooled ... Haddish isn't totally making that decision on her own -- 'cause she claims she's actually been ordered by a judge to lay off any and all substances.

Tiffany also adds she would've fought her most recent DUI charge if the stress wasn't doing a number on her health -- saying she was just driving while tired.

Of course, Haddish copped a plea deal in her Hollywood DUI case ... pleading no contest in February to a conviction of reckless driving -- a much lesser charge.

Remember ... Tiffany was arrested in November when cops claimed they found her asleep in her car, parked awkwardly on the street. She was released pretty soon after, and joked about the incident during a comedy set pretty quickly after.

Through all the jokes, it seems Haddish has really made a huge change to her life -- even if it wasn't 100% her idea to begin with.

Lindsay Lohan's a leading lady once again, and the Irish are celebrating ... 'cause they're hoping her new flick is the lucky charm they need to boost tourism in that country.

A rep for Tourism Ireland -- an official arm of the Irish government -- tells TMZ ... their team is super excited that Lohan's new movie "Irish Wish" came outta the gates #1 on Netflix, and they've got fingers crossed that it inspires people to travel to the Emerald Isle.

We're told they think their homeland looks magnificent in the film, and they appreciate how the directors added some iconic locations -- like Killruddery House and the Cliffs of Moher -- to the movie.

Tourism Ireland is also looking at the impact other movies and TV shows have had on tourism in the country. They note the spike their neighboring nation of Northern Ireland got after "Game of Thrones" filmed there -- and tons of people apparently hit up Inis Mor and Achill Island to see "The Banshees of Inisherin" locations.

Dolph Lundgren's not against recasting an iconic character -- telling fans to give David Corenswet's Superman a chance ... even if he's not entirely sure who he is.

We talked to the action movie star in Los Angeles Friday, and asked him all about the DC Universe coming to an end -- 'memba, Dolph starred as King Nereus in the 'Aquaman' films -- and he says he's sad to see it go 'cause of his great time working on the flick.

DL name-drops a few of his costars from the flick before moving on to the outrage surrounding Henry Cavill being dropped as Superman for Corenswet.

Lundgren says he isn't familiar with David -- by name or reputation -- but he says fans always get up in arms when one of their fav characters ends up being played by someone else ... and they need to give the guy a chance to flex his superhero muscles.

It seems like Dolph doesn't know Corenswet's work very well -- and yet, he's very positive here, saying he's rooting for DC's newest Man of Steel ... which is pretty awesome.

That said, Dolph's very clear there's one character he doesn't want recast ... Apollo Creed, played by the late great Carl Weathers.

Ben Affleck is looking a lot younger these days -- and it probably has to do with the fact that he's gotten rid of his face hairs ... all just in time for a new movie he's working on.

The actor was out and about in L.A. Thursday rocking a whole new mug -- and by that, we mean he was totally clean-shaven ... having lost his full salt and pepper beard, which he's been sportin' for quite a while now.

Now, Ben's got nothing but his bare skin out in the wild ... and we gotta say, he looks fresh!

Dude's got a cool 'fit on as well -- color-coordinated, per usual -- and he even had a basketball in hand that he was bouncing around as he strolled. Indeed, BA's got a pep in his step ... and something tells us him shaving might have something to do with it.

Frankly, he looks like a 30-something all over again ... albeit, with a more mature vibe.

If you're wondering why Ben lost the beard -- it appears directly tied to the start of production for his new movie, 'The Accountant 2,' which reportedly started filming this week. With him playing the lead character again (who was also clean-shaven), the face trim makes sense.

Like we said, Ben hasn't had a fully shaven face like this in quite a bit -- lately, he's been letting his facial hair grow ... which is why he was almost unrecognizable in these pics.

Of course, we'd recognize that handsome face anywhere with or without whiskers -- the real question now is ... what does the missus at home, Jennifer Lopez, think about it?

Gwyneth Paltrow's reminiscing on her glory days ... saying they don't make movies like they used to -- and blasting the superhero genre for saturating the market, despite being in many such flicks herself.

The Marvel star went on "Hot Ones" Thursday when host Sean Evans asked her about a comment "American Fiction" writer/director Cord Jefferson made at the Oscars ... basically, begging Hollywood to invest in smaller indie projects like his.

Welp, it seems like GP agrees ... saying she feels studios put more of their resources into big-budget superhero flicks these days -- and suggesting the work's suffering because of it.

Check out the vid for yourself ... Gwyneth kinda craps on the superhero genre for its lack of originality -- while adding it's impossible to cater to as many people as the studios try to while still being unique and full of substance.

Of course, Paltrow knows a thing or two about superhero movies ... she appeared as Pepper Potts -- Tony Stark/Iron Man's love interest in seven Marvel films -- so, she's been around the superhero block, which is why what she's saying is so surprising.

With that said, everyone knows Paltrow got her start in smaller-budget projects like "Se7en" and "Shakespeare in Love" -- for which she won an Oscar -- and she says the art reaches a higher form when less money is involved ... because real artists are allowed to take risks.

Gwyneth's one of many who seem burnt out on all the superhero flicks ... Paul Dano, Martin Scorsese, Jennifer Aniston, Francis Ford Coppola and others have spoken out against the genre in recent years -- with John Mulaney cracking jokes about it at the Oscars.

Bigger than all those stars, though ... audiences seem sick of superhero movies as well. Just look at the box office for "Madame Web" and "The Marvels" over the last six months or so.

Johnny Depp's not taking accusations from a former costar lying down ... he's firing back over an actress blasting him for treating her poorly on the set of "Blow."

The actor's rep is coming out swinging, saying Lola Glaudini's allegation Johnny was verbally abusive while filming one particular scene in the 2001 movie -- saying, "Johnny always prioritizes good working relationships with cast and crew and this recounting differs greatly from the recollection of other members on set at the time."

As for Lola's side of the story ... she actually said it back in January while on the "Powerful Truth Angels" podcast, but it's been resurfaced online. During the appearance she claimed Depp went off on her after director Ted Demme told her to burst into laughter at one of his lines.

According to Lola, Depp didn't catch wind she was following Demme's direction, leading him to think she was intentionally interrupting his scene.

Lola's full description of the alleged incident definitely ain't for kids' ears -- "Johnny Depp, when they say cut, walks over to me, comes up to me, sticks his finger in my face -- and I'm in a bikini on the ground like this -- and he comes over, and he goes, 'Who the f*** do you think you are? Who the f*** do you think you are? Shut the f*** up. I'm out here, and I'm trying to f***ing say my lines, and you're f***ing pulling focus."

Need a few more f-bombs? Why not? Lola claims the rant continued ... "You f***ing idiot. Who the f*** do you think … Oh, now, oh now it's not so funny? Now you can shut up? Now you can f***ing shut the f*** up? Oh it's not funny now? The quiet that you are right now, that's how you f***ing stay.'"

She says she was just trying to hold back the tears after he screamed in her face -- and claims Depp offered a "non-apology" afterward.
