Gene Hackman’s wife, Betsy Arakawa, made phone calls to a medical center on the morning after the day officials first identified she was believed to have died — throwing a wrench into the timeline of both their deaths.

Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Denise Womack-Avila stated the department obtained phone records confirming Betsy made three phone calls to a Santa Fe medical center on the morning of February 12 — the day after New Mexico officials concluded she likely had died … from hantavirus, a rare and potentially fatal disease.

Womack-Avila told TMZ Tuesday … “We can now confirm that Mrs. Hackman’s phone was utilized on the morning of February 12 to call a medical center in Santa Fe, Cloudberry Health. A total of three calls were made that morning, all to the medical center.”

It’s unclear if this changes the timeline for Gene’s death on February 18 … investigators have said the last known activity from his pacemaker was on February 17. Gene’s official cause of death is heart disease and advanced Alzheimer’s disease — and officials believe he didn’t realize Betsy was dead in the home due to his condition.

Kim Kardashian kept it sweet with some ice cream after a wild day when TMZ dished she was seriously considering taking Kanye West to court to strip him of custody of their kids.

The SKIMS mogul looked every bit the glamorous star during her indulgent pit stop at Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream in Calabasas, California … stepping out with her good pal Natalie Halcro on Monday evening.

Kim was satisfying her sweet tooth, looking like a total showstopper in a furry coat, skintight leather leggings, and heel boots — strutting along like she doesn’t have a care in the world … even though we all know she’s got a lot on her mind.

TMZ explained just hours before her outing Kim was seriously considering asking a judge to strip Ye of joint legal custody of their four kids.

The reason? Kanye decided to drop the track “Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine,” featuring their daughter North, with disgraced mogul Diddy — despite initially agreeing in a mediation last week not to release the song.

Kim was vehemently opposed to letting North participate in any way, and Ye flagrantly ignored their custody agreement — even posting on X, “THE MAN MAKES THE FINAL DECISION.”

The original Mickey Mouse is out for blood in a new horror film based on Steamboat Willie … and his targets are a group of princesses who are knockoffs of Disney stars.

Sources close to the production of “Screamboat” tell TMZ … five “Party Princesses” will serve as Steamboat Willie’s victims, and they are loosely based on Disney princesses.

We’re told the princesses are celebrating a birthday on the steamboat and the party includes … Cindi, Jazzy, Bella, Arianna and Rory.

Steamboat Willie — the OG Mickey Mouse from 1928 — is now in the public domain … meaning the beloved Disney IP is up for grabs thanks to an expired copyright.

This gives filmmakers free rein to twist Mickey into whichever version they prefer … and “Screamboat” is a horror comedy.

The Disney princesses aren’t in the same boat, though, which is why “Screamboat” is getting creative here with a little workaround.

Unclear if all five princesses get killed off by Steamboat Willie … but in one of the images we obtained, the princess based on “Little Mermaid” is tied up and bloodied.

As we told you … the filming location here was a decommissioned Staten Island Ferry owned by “Saturday Night Live” stars Pete Davidson and Colin Jost.

Our sources told us so much fake blood was used during filming they had to hire a special cleaning crew for Pete and Colin’s orange boat.

The indie flick’s official description goes like this … “‘Screamboat’ follows a group of New Yorkers on a late-night ferry ride that turns deadly when a mischievous mouse begins a rampage, targeting unsuspecting passengers. The unlikely crew must band together to thwart the murderous menace before their relaxing commute turns into a nightmare.”
