Michael Jackson's nephew Jaafar's jumping right into a thriller night ... getting dead-dolled up just like Uncle Mike for a recreation of the "Thriller" music video.

New photos from the set taken earlier this week show Jaafar looking just like Michael -- a common sight during filming that still doesn't get old -- clad in the iconic red leather get-up.

But, fans will probably focus more on his face ... 'cause the makeup's a dead ringer for Michael's in the 1983 music vid -- emphasis on "dead!!!"

Nicole Kidman getting hot and heavy in the sack with Zac Efron is not something you hear every day... but that's exactly what happens in their new film and we have a sneak peek at some of their sexy scenes.

Check it out ... On Wednesday, Netflix dropped a trailer for the movie, "A Family Affair," ahead of the June 28 premiere – and the two A-list actors can't keep their hands – or bodies – off each other.

In the 2-minute clip, Kidman and Efron are seen tangled up half-naked on a bed before they intensely make out against a wall.

Bill Moseley -- known for 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' franchise -- got an unwelcome scare of his own last week after being slammed into by a cyclist ... who apparently took off.

The actor's rep tells TMZ ... it all went down in Raleigh, NC Friday -- where the horror icon was expected to attend Carolina Fear Fest ... but shortly before the event kicked off, he was hit from behind during an afternoon walk, leaving him with 4 fractured ribs and a fractured pelvis.

We're told Bill was walking behind his hotel along a dual pedestrian-bike path and that a dude came flying down the lane and ran right into him from behind ... at a speed which we're told was about 30 MPH. Rather than stop to help, Bill's rep says this man bolted ... fleeing the scene.

Bill, as a result, was left writhing in pain ... and we're told help was eventually called for him ... and he was transported to a trauma hospital, where he underwent multiple CT scans.

In the end ... Bill suffered multiple pelvic and rib fractures -- something he noted himself on IG, posting a couple shots of himself in a hospital gown, and eventually being wheeled out in a wheelchair. While what happened to him was serious ... he's keeping his spirits up.

As for the biker who hopped back on his bike and rode off, Moseley -- who's also starred in 2007's "Halloween" threw in a horror character reference, saying ... "And here I thought Jason packed a punch!"

Bill's since been discharged from the hospital, and has a 6-week rehab stay ahead of him, and has been ordered by docs to avoid putting weight on his left leg at all costs.

The folks behind Carolina Fear Fest also confirmed Bill's expected to make a full recovery, and have announced anyone who purchased a photo op with Bill will receive an immediate refund.

Bill's undoubtedly loved and respected in the horror community. In addition to starring in the 1986 sequel to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," he also appeared in "Texas Chainsaw 3D" in 2013 as Drayton Sawyer.

He's also a staple in Rob Zombie's "Firefly" trilogy, among countless other horror projects solidifying his status as a genre icon.

Molly Ringwald is opening up about her experiences as a teen star ... sharing her time in Hollywood was more daunting than fans realize, 'cause she says she was preyed upon.

The 'Breakfast Club' actress reflected on her early career during the latest episode of the "WTF with Marc Maron" podcast, where she recalled being "taken advantage of" -- this despite her shy demeanor and introverted nature as a budding celeb.

She added ... "You can't be a young actress in Hollywood and not have predators around." Now, while Molly says she wasn't sexually assaulted by any one individual -- she does feel she was exploited ... although she doesn't quite get into the details of how, or by whom.

2024 is struggling to compete with last year's impressive box office numbers ... with 2 expected blockbusters underperforming over Memorial Day weekend, doing historically bad.

While 'Furiosa' did find itself in the No.1 spot ... its box office total was strikingly different than what "The Little Mermaid" brought in last year. For the record, the live-action remake brought in $117 million on its opening weekend.

A 'Karate Kid' series OG was shocked to learn his character's name has skyrocketed in popularity for babies ... and he hopes that means no more random insults from fans on the street.

Here's the deal ... the Social Security Administration just released the most popular baby names for 2023 ... and highlighted that the second fastest-rising boy name was "Chozen."

AMC is getting a "Sicilian message" of sorts from one of the "Goodfellas" crew after the network slapped a new warning on the mob classic ... causing fans to flip more than Tommy -- aka Joe Pesci -- being told to get his shine box.

Here's the deal ... TMZ recently reported AMC added a warning over outdated stereotypes in addition to violence and language ... and, it caused some serious online backlash.

Disney's gone off the deep end with their woke messaging and needs to focus on the building blocks of story, so says the director of several Mouse House classics.

John Musker -- who directed the animated versions of "The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin" and "Moana" -- called out the content giant during an interview with El País ... basically saying Disney's gone overboard on getting their message across.

Joe Morton would love to reunite with Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves for a 3rd "Speed" movie ... but isn't yet sold on the plot, TMZ has learned.

The actor tells TMZ ... he'd love to be a part of "Speed 3," after Sandra and Keanu both expressed an interest in rebooting the franchise. However, Joe -- who played Lieutenant Herb 'Mac' McMahon in the OG -- says there are some big questions that need to be answered before he signs on for any new movie.

He adds ... "'Speed' was a wonderful roller coaster ride; the bus had to careen through the city and jump a gap in a bridge and couldn’t go below 50mph or it would blow up -- what’s 3’s vehicle?"

Glen Powell had a strong reaction to watching "Hidden Figures" the first time ... but, it wasn't exactly a happy one -- admitting he puked after leaving a rough cut of the film.

The iconic "Home Alone" house is up for sale, but it's coming along with a bit of controversy -- 'cause despite realtors' claims, TMZ has learned the movie wasn't shot inside.

Julio Macat -- cinematographer for the 1990 Christmas classic -- tells TMZ ... exterior shots for the movie were filmed at the home now on the market, but they never actually shot scenes inside the home.

Instead, we're told the film was shot at the then-defunct New Trier Township High School in Chicago on massive sets.

The photoshoot didn't stop there ... the star even swung by the Netflix billboard sporting the bold message, "DON'T F WITH JLO" -- a nod to her butt-kicking character in the streamer's new action flick.

An award-winning horror short set in Red Lobster never got a proper release because the chain got wind of the flick and told the director to throw it overboard.

Robin Comisar, writer and director of "Great Choice" -- which gained a cult following thanks to fan-altered bootlegs -- tells TMZ after his 2017 flick starring an up-and-coming Carrie Coon started making waves on the festival circuit, he got hit up by RL brass.

Kelly Rowland's not the life of the party at the Cannes Film Festival ... in fact, the way she's waving her finger, seems she's downright pissed about something going on at a big glitzy event.
