Martha Stewart's criticism of Ryan Reynolds' "very serious" off-camera persona should be taken with a grain of salt ... given the fact the actor's been quite vocal about his past anxiety hurdles.

As our source puts it ... Blake Lively's husband likes being quiet over being "on" ALL the time.

Lady Gaga gave a live performance at Kamala Harris' final campaign rally Monday night in the all-important swing state of Pennsylvania, belting out "God Bless America" to show her full support for the Democratic presidential nominee.

Gaga was seated at a piano on the famous "Rocky" Steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the eve of Election Day, giving it her all vocally, while also making a little speech after singing the second national anthem.

She told the packed audience the country was depending on them, presumably to get out and vote. Gaga then said women for decades never had a voice in this country, nurturing their kids and supporting their husbands to help them make decisions.

Freddie's steadily getting praised for his rapping ability, and the first listen impressed LBJ so much he had to post on social media about it.

We spotted the promo a couple weeks ago and connected the dots ... Freddie says he called up FK actor Robert Englund, who happily obliged to do the voiceover and give Freddie's hip hop peers the same unnerving Krueger haunted him with as a kid.

Because of his reputation as a skilled MC, we also got Freddie's take on why the BET Hip Hop Awards cut out its biggest draw this year -- the rapping ciphers that have been going viral for many years.

Freddie tells us today's talent flat-out sucks at rapping, but he doesn't have that ailment, so here were are.

Selena Gomez came in hot, shutting down body-shamers who had the audacity to troll her look at last week’s "Emilia Pérez" premiere in L.A.
