Val Kilmer’s unexpected passing is sending shockwaves through Hollywood … with tons of stars reacting to the loss after the actor died of pneumonia on Tuesday.

Francis Ford Coppola, who directed Kilmer in the 2011 horror-mystery film “Twixt,” praised the actor in an Instagram tribute, calling VK a natural talent that “only grew greater throughout his life,” alongside a photo of them on set.

A long time ago, I was auditioning for the movie “The Doors” It was kind of a cattle call. They paired together potential Jims with potential Pamela‘s. And they were running behind so we were spilling out of the casting office, sitting on the porch, the lawn, and the driveway.…

One of Kilmer’s most iconic roles was playing Jim Morrison in “The Doors” … and “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Jennifer Tilly recalls Kilmer pulling up to the casting call in a ’60s convertible, blaring the band’s music “at top volume.” She says in that moment, it was clear “nobody else stood a chance.”

Actor Josh Brolin is sharing a snap of him with Kilmer smiling together while posing in nature, writing … “You were a smart, challenging, brave, uber-creative firecracker. There’s not a lot left of those. I hope to see you up there in the heavens when I eventually get there.”

“Frozen” star Josh Gad also posted a tribute to Kilmer on Instagram, sharing a photo of him as his “Top Gun” character, Tom “Iceman,” writing … “RIP Val Kilmer. Thank you for defining so many of the movies of my childhood. You truly were an icon.”

The official “Top Gun” account on X is also honoring Kilmer, writing … “Remembering Val Kilmer, whose indelible cinematic mark spanned genres and generations.”

Kanye West
‘I Havent Seen Saint This Year’ …
You Can Anytime!!!

Published April 22, 2025 11:30 AM PDT

Kanye West claims he hasn’t been around his son Saint at all this year … but we know that’s not even remotely close to the truth.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Ye can see his kids whenever he wants and mostly chooses not to, but he has definitely seen Saint in 2025.

Kanye’s kids mostly live with their mother, Kim Kardashian, in California … but we’re told Ye spent about 3 months in Los Angeles this year and didn’t ask to see Saint or any of his kids, aside from North … until a week before leaving town.

In fact, we’re told it was only a few days ago that Kanye saw Saint, Chicago and Psalm … and Ye has full control to see his kids when he wants.

What’s more, Kanye and Saint were together in Japan earlier this year … when they shot the cover art for “Bully” and filmed an accompanying video.

This all flies in the face of one of Kanye’s recent posts on X … “I HAVENT SEEN SAINT THIS YEAR.”

Kim and Kanye were married for 6 years and had 4 kids before divorcing in 2022 … and, as we’ve told you, Kim wants wants their kids to have a relationship with their father and has almost always facilitated that.

Kristen Stewart
Wife Dylan Meyer Flashes Ring Fetching Food
… We’re Hungry After Wedding!!!

Published April 22, 2025 10:05 AM PDT

Dylan Meyer is now happily married to Kristen Stewart … and she’s showing off her gold wedding band for the world to see.

TMZ obtained a photo of Dylan dressed casually in a T-shirt and sweatpants outside her Los Angeles home — flashing her shiny new ring — after she tied the knot with the famous actress in a private ceremony Sunday.

The photog snapped the pic Monday and it captures Dylan greeting an Uber Eats delivery driver, who handed her food from Joe & the Juice cafe.

Dylan then turned and walked back inside her house, seemingly in a relaxed mood. In case you’re wondering, Kristen was never seen during the food delivery.

But we did see a lot of the newlyweds over the weekend. As we first reported, Kristen and Dylan got hitched Sunday afternoon at Mexican restaurant Casita Del Campo.

We’re told it was an intimate affair, with Ashley Benson and her husband Brandon Davis among the notable guests at the wedding. TMZ obtained exclusive photos of the lovebirds saying their vows before kissing and hugging.

Our sources tell us Kristen and her screenwriter wife picked up their marriage license in Los Angeles County last Tuesday. The two first met on a 2013 film, but they didn’t start dating until 2019, after Kristen’s split from model Stella Maxwell.
