Rumors of Ryan Gosling being eyed to take over the Marvel role of Black Panther have spread like wildfire online ... but there is not a vibranium ounce of truth to it, TMZ has learned.

An insider with direct knowledge tells us ... Ryan has not been cast -- nor has he been eyed -- to play an iteration of Black Panther ... the iconic African superhero first played on the big screen by the legendary Chadwick Boseman.

Rumors of the brazen casting have swirled out of control -- even generating headlines -- and it seems this all started from a meme of Ryan's face photoshopped onto Black Panther posted back in 2018 ... and used by haters taking shots at Disney's diversity casting for historically white roles.

Kaity Biggar and Zach Shallcross are officially husband and wife ... TMZ has learned.

According to court documents, obtained by TMZ, "The Bachelor" alums tied the knot on May 23, 2025, in Texas.

Disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein was just found guilty by a New York jury on one charge in his sex crimes retrial.

The 12 jurors convicted Weinstein on first-degree criminal sexual act related to the 2006 case of ex-production assistant Miriam Haley, who accused HW of forcibly performing oral sex on her at his Manhattan home.

Weinstein was acquitted on a separate charge of criminal sexual act arising from similar allegations brought by model Kaja Sokola, also in 2006. The jury has yet to vote on a third charge in which aspiring actress Jessica Mann claimed Weinstein raped her in 2013.

Maybe word hasn't made its way to Leo -- the Sox stink right now with a 23-44 record ... either that, or he's still keeping the faith.

Scott Wolf’s breaking his silence a day after wife Kelley dropped their separation news -- saying filing for divorce was the hardest decision he’s ever made.

The "Doc" actor kept it classy in a statement obtained by TMZ, saying their three kids are -- and always will be -- their top priority ... adding their top ask was for privacy as they guide their crew through this new chapter.

Alessandra Ambrosio brought the beach vibes and bikini tides to Cabo -- the top model scorched social media with her recent Cabo vacay pics.

Tropic like it's hot, the Victoria's Secret icon donned a white-hot bikini -- struttin' into the water, and showin' off her long n' lean physique layin' poolside.

The 44-year-old captioned her Instagram post, "Beautiful days well spent in paradise ..." and shouted out the Montage Los Cabos -- a notable spot for the A-list stars like Demi Moore and Oprah.

Wavy hair don't care, Ambrosio posted up with her hot man, Buck Palmer -- the duo both rockin' their swankiest beach attire.

Travis Decker -- the Washington dad accused of brutally murdering his three daughters -- has been seen in public, and cops say it’s only a matter of time before they catch him.

After a weeklong manhunt, cops now believe Travis is hiding out near Blewett Pass in the Wenatchee Mountains of Washington. It's all thanks to a tip from hikers who spotted a sketchy man -- who bore a striking resemblance to Decker -- trying to be inconspicuous as he wandered around a trail in the Enchantments.

The Chelan County Sheriff says tracking teams jumped on the hikers' tip -- and sure enough, one of their chopper pilots eyeballed the lone hiker near the trail. But, the moment the pilot saw him, the man bolted.

It’s unclear if the buyers are die-hard stans of the Netflix show -- but the "California" pad is where the Byers shacked up with Eleven post-Hawkins, Indiana … but like we said, the house is really smack bang in Albuquerque, NM.

Allison Mack's locked up again ... no, she's not headed back to federal prison -- she's locked up in a new partnership, 'cause she got married!

In her post, KK wrote that she was OK with Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents removing violent criminals, but not hardworking people ripped from their families.

Bert Kreischer’s keeping it 100, spilling the tea on his one trip that totally soured him -- Fiji, which, for some bizarre reason, he claims is just a glorified Arizona in disguise.

Yup, you heard that right. The comedian spilled the beans on "Drop A Pin Podcast," saying the one place he’ll never go back to is Fiji. Why? Because it felt more like a trip to the southwest U.S. than a tropical South Pacific escape!

When someone pointed out that Arizona’s, well, a land-locked desert -- especially compared to Fiji’s crystal blue waters -- Bert didn’t skip a beat, firing back that it was actually the dry terrain that gave him those arid AZ vibes.
