  Mystery around Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter’s death deepens after new details emerge

Mystery around Tommy Lee Jones’ daughter’s death deepens after new details emerge
By Patrick Reilly
Published Jan. 2, 2026
Updated Jan. 2, 2026, 6:37 a.m. ET

Victoria Jones, the late daughter of Hollywood legend Tommy Lee Jones, was initially believed to have been drunk when she was found lying unresponsive on the ground at a San Francisco Hotel New Year’s Day, according to a report.

Jones, 34, was found on the 14th floor of the ritzy Fairmont hotel by a guest who thought she had was passed out from drinking and alerted hotel staff, a source told the Daily Mail.

Staffers immediately began CPR and called for an ambulance — but paramedics declared her dead at the scene when they arrived.

Police arrived at the Fairmont San Francisco hotel around 3:14 a.m. on Thursday after a report of a medical emergency, according to the San Francisco Police Department.

There was no signs of foul play and no drug paraphernalia was found at the scene, the source told the Daily Mail. There was also no indication her death was a suicide.

The Medical Examiner will determine the cause of her death, cops said.

It’s still not clear if she was a guest at the hotel or how she wound up on the 14th floor.

Jones was the daughter of “No Country for Old Men” actor and his first wife, Kimberlea Cloughley.

Jones, who appeared on screen with her father when she was younger, was arrested at least three times in the past year, according to records obtained by The Post.

In April, she was busted in Napa County for obstructing a peace officer, being under the influence of a controlled substance, and possession of a narcotic controlled substance, court documents show.

Then in May she was arrested in Santa Cruz County and in June back in Napa County she was busted on domestic battery and domestic violence/elder abuse charges and was later released on bail.

Jones pleaded not guilty in both cases out of Napa County, according to court records.

Chilling details emerge in mysterious death of Tommy Lee Jones's former child star daughter as guests at swanky hotel 'thought she was drunk' before dark truth was revealed.
By MARJORIE HERNANDEZ, US WEST COAST NEWS EDITOR and SAMEER SURI, US SENIOR SHOWBUSINESS REPORTER and MELISSA KOENIG, US REPORTER

The daughter of Hollywood icon Tommy Lee Jones was found dead by a guest at an upscale San Francisco hotel early on New Year's Day.

Victoria Jones, 34, was lying on the ground of the 14th floor of the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco when a guest who thought she might be drunk alerted hotel staff, a source told the Daily Mail.

The daughter of Hollywood icon Tommy Lee Jones was found dead by a guest at an upscale San Francisco hotel early on New Year's Day.

Victoria Jones, 34, was lying on the ground of the 14th floor of the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco when a guest who thought she might be drunk alerted hotel staff, a source told the Daily Mail.

The staffers quickly realized Victoria was unresponsive and immediately started CPR and called for an ambulance.

By 2002, she made her movie debut with a small part in her father's picture Men in Black II.

She would go on to appear in a handful of acting projects as a child, including a 2005 episode of One Tree Hill and a role that same year the Western picture The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada, which was directed by her father.

Although she has not acted onscreen since her role as a cheerleader on One Tree Hill, she has attended the occasional red carpet alongside Jones as an adult.

In 2017, she posed proudly at his side at the ArcLight Hollywood for the premiere of his movie Just Getting Started, also starring Morgan Freeman and Rene Russo.

She also made an appearance with her father in October 2017 at the opening of that year's Tokyo International Film Festival, where he was serving as president of the international competition jury.

After directing his daughter in The Three Burials of Melquiades, Jones showered praise on Victoria in an interview promoting the film.

'She’s a good actress, has her SAG card, speaks impeccable Spanish,' he said. 'When she was a baby, I told Leticia, her nurse, to speak to her in Spanish.'

He also related a charming anecdote about having to acclimatize his then 14-year-old daughter to the rigors of working on a Hollywood movie set.

'She had to get up at 5am for her part. One morning, she wouldn’t get out of bed. I said: "Honey, this is work." But she wouldn’t budge,' he told the New Yorker.

'So I fired her. Then, without telling me, the production staff went over and woke her and rushed her out to the set just in time,' he recalled.

Victoria is survived by Jones, Cloughley and her brother, Austin. 

The Daily Mail has contacted Tommy Lee Jones's representatives for comment, as well as the Fairmont San Francisco and the San Francisco Police Department.

The Walt Disney Company and OpenAI reach landmark agreement to bring beloved characters from across Disney’s brands to Sora
Agreement marks a significant step in setting meaningful standards for responsible AI in entertainment.
December 11, 2025

As part of this three-year licensing agreement, Sora will be able to generate short, user-prompted social videos that can be viewed and shared by fans, drawing on more than 200 Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars characters.
Agreement will make a selection of these fan-inspired Sora short form videos available to stream on Disney+.
Disney and OpenAI affirm a shared commitment to responsible use of AI that protects the safety of users and the rights of creators.
Alongside the licensing agreement, Disney will become a major customer of OpenAI, using its APIs to build new products, tools, and experiences, including for Disney+, and deploying ChatGPT for its employees.
As part of the agreement, Disney will make a $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI, and receive warrants to purchase additional equity.
The Walt Disney Company and OpenAI have reached an agreement for Disney to become the first major content licensing partner on Sora, OpenAI’s short-form generative AI video platform, bringing these leaders in creativity and innovation together to unlock new possibilities in imaginative storytelling.

As part of this new, three-year licensing agreement, Sora will be able to generate short, user-prompted social videos that can be viewed and shared by fans, drawing from a set of more than 200 animated, masked and creature characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar and Star Wars, including costumes, props, vehicles, and iconic environments. In addition, ChatGPT Images will be able to turn a few words by the user into fully generated images in seconds, drawing from the same intellectual property. The agreement does not include any talent likenesses or voices.

Alongside the licensing agreement, Disney will become a major customer of OpenAI, using its APIs to build new products, tools, and experiences, including for Disney+, and deploying ChatGPT for its employees.

As part of the agreement, Disney will make a $1 billion equity investment in OpenAI, and receive warrants to purchase additional equity.

Under the agreement, Disney and OpenAI are affirming a shared commitment to the responsible use of AI that protects user safety and the rights of creators. Together, the companies will advance human-centered AI that respects the creative industries and expands what is possible for storytelling.

The transaction is subject to the negotiation of definitive agreements, required corporate and board approvals, and customary closing conditions.

“Technological innovation has continually shaped the evolution of entertainment, bringing with it new ways to create and share great stories with the world,” said Robert A. Iger, CEO, The Walt Disney Company. “The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment for our industry, and through this collaboration with OpenAI we will thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works. Bringing together Disney’s iconic stories and characters with OpenAI’s groundbreaking technology puts imagination and creativity directly into the hands of Disney fans in ways we’ve never seen before, giving them richer and more personal ways to connect with the Disney characters and stories they love.”

“Disney is the global gold standard for storytelling, and we’re excited to partner to allow Sora and ChatGPT Images to expand the way people create and experience great content,” said Sam Altman, co-founder and CEO of OpenAI. “This agreement shows how AI companies and creative leaders can work together responsibly to promote innovation that benefits society, respect the importance of creativity, and help works reach vast new audiences.”

Under the license, fans will be able to watch curated selections of Sora-generated videos on Disney+, and OpenAI and Disney will collaborate to utilize OpenAI’s models to power new experiences for Disney + subscribers, furthering innovative and creative ways to connect with Disney’s stories and characters. Sora and ChatGPT Images are expected to start generating fan-inspired videos with Disney’s multi-brand licensed characters in early 2026.

Among the characters fans will be able to use in their creations are Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Lilo, Stitch, Ariel, Belle, Beast, Cinderella, Baymax, Simba, Mufasa, as well as characters from the worlds of Encanto, Frozen, Inside Out, Moana, Monsters Inc., Toy Story, Up, Zootopia, and many more; plus iconic animated or illustrated versions of Marvel and Lucasfilm characters like Black Panther, Captain America, Deadpool, Groot, Iron Man, Loki, Thor, Thanos, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Leia, the Mandalorian, Stormtroopers, Yoda and more.

As part of the agreement, OpenAI has committed to continuing its industry leadership in implementing responsible measures to further address trust and safety, including age-appropriate policies and other reasonable controls across the service. In addition, OpenAI and Disney have affirmed a shared commitment to maintaining robust controls to prevent the generation of illegal or harmful content, to respect the rights of content owners in relation to the outputs of models, and to respect the rights of individuals to appropriately control the use of their voice and likeness.

  Heidi Klum Reveals This Year’s Stunning Halloween Costume

Heidi Klum Reveals This Year’s Stunning Halloween Costume
The costume queen once again transformed for her annual Oct. 31 celebration, this year going as Medusa.
By Kirsten Chuba
October 31, 2025 8:48pm

The Queen of Halloween has done it again.

As midnight neared in New York City on Friday, Heidi Klum revealed yet another stunning costume, this year arriving at her annual Halloween party as Medusa.

Alongside husband Tom Kaulitz — who also appeared in an elaborate look as a knight turned to stone fighting against her — Klum transformed with a headpiece of moving snakes, fangs and a forked tongue, paired with a full snake body suit and a long tail. She wielded a bow and arrow that she playfully aimed at Kaulitz, between sticking her tongue out menacingly at photographers.

Klum is hosting her 24th Halloween bash, presented by Butterfinger and Huluween on Disney+, at Hard Rock Hotel New York’s The Venue on Music Row. The party has become one of the signature events of Spooky Season, as Klum always turns up in a jaw-dropping look — in recent years, she’s transformed into E.T., a peacock, Fiona from Shrek, Jessica Rabbit and famously, a worm.

The model had been dropping Easter eggs for this year’s costume all month on her social media, and recently told Good Morning America, “I’m going to be very ugly — very scary, but very ugly.” She was also giving glimpses at the look throughout the day on Friday, showing off the process on social as her prosthetics and fangs were applied. Klum collaborates on her costumes with prosthetic makeup designer Mike Marino, who won an Emmy this year for his work on The Penguin.

In a video posted to her Instagram showing the behind-the-scenes of last year’s E.T. costume, Klum explained the origins of her signature party, remembering, “It all started about 25 years ago when I was searching for the party in New York City and I thought, ‘I’m going to have to take that one over.'” She added that over the years as the pressure to beat her past costumes has grown, “I have sleepless nights over Halloween, you have no idea. I always hope that it works out.”

  AI 'actor' Tilly Norwood is an innovation nobody asked for
Posted by: Hollywood Press Releases - 10-05-2025, 06:54 AM - Forum: 2025 - No Replies

AI 'actor' Tilly Norwood is an innovation nobody asked for
A new AI "actor" is piquing the interest of talent agents. This spells disaster for cinema.


Oct. 3, 2025, 3:00 AM PDT
By Zeeshan Aleem, MSNBC Opinion Writer/Editor
In an announcement that has received massive backlash across Hollywood, Eline Van der Velden, the Dutch founder of what she calls “the world’s first artificial intelligence talent studio,” told a film festival panel over the weekend that her artificial intelligence “actor” Tilly Norwood has received attention from multiple talent agents. It follows Van der Velden’s statement to Broadcast International over the summer that “We want Tilly to be the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman, that’s the aim of what we’re doing.”

But the public isn’t asking for AI entities to replace human actors.

According to Variety, Van der Velden told the panel at the Zurich Film Festival last weekend that “Tilly” was initially met with skepticism in studio boardrooms, but their interest has increased — and that in the coming months she plans to announce who will represent the AI creation. It’s not clear what contributed to the alleged increased interest in Tilly, but one possibility, assuming it’s true, is that the technological sophistication of an AI-generated video by Van der Velden’s AI company released this summer piqued the curiosity of talent agents and film studios.

Entrepreneurs and the capitalist class are relentlessly seeking to deploy AI in a manner that exceeds its reasonable use cases.

While Van der Velden’s comments at the festival sounded triumphant, NBC News points out that actors across Hollywood have responded with horror and anger. Actors Emily Blunt, Lukas Gage, Melissa Barrera and Kiersey Clemons, for example, have slammed the AI creation.

“Does it disappoint me? I don’t know how to quite answer it, other than to say how terrifying this is,” Blunt said in an interview in response to the news about Tilly. When Blunt was shown an image of Tilly, Blunt responded with shock. “No, are you serious? That’s an AI? Good Lord, we’re screwed. That is really, really scary. Come on, agencies, don’t do that. Please stop. Please stop taking away our human connection.”

“The View” co-host and actor Whoopi Goldberg, one of the rare talents who’s won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony (EGOT), had a different response. She said, “It’s a little bit of an unfair advantage. But you know what? Bring it on. Because you can always tell them from us.”

I don’t share Goldberg’s confidence. The tech is getting so good so quickly — and it’s only going to get better — that it’s conceivable that AI creations could be inserted into movies and shows without some audience members being able to tell they aren’t real.

The Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, or SAG-AFTRA, seems vigilant about that possibility, and its statement Tuesday catalogs the many ways AI talent is problematic:

To be clear, 'Tilly Norwood' is not an actor, it’s a character generated by a computer program that was trained on the work of countless professional performers — without permission or compensation. It has no life experience to draw from, no emotion and, from what we’ve seen, audiences aren’t interested in watching computer-generated content untethered from the human experience. It doesn’t solve any 'problem' — it creates the problem of using stolen performances to put actors out of work, jeopardizing performer livelihoods and devaluing human artistry.

At least one talent agency came out and said that it refuses to work with “Tilly Norwood.”

Van der Velden has responded defensively to the condemnations. “To those who have expressed anger over the creation of our AI character Tilly Norwood: she is not a replacement for a human being, but a creative work — a piece of art,” she said. “Just as animation, puppetry, or CGI opened fresh possibilities without taking away from live acting, AI offers another way to imagine and build stories.”

But Van der Velden’s statement is glib nonsense. She has explicitly pitched Tilly as a replacement for human beings — otherwise why liken her to “the next Scarlett Johansson or Natalie Portman”? Why is she fielding talent agents for real actors? What is the value proposition of Tilly Norwood as an “AI actress” if not to resemble a human so much that it could replace a human actor? And what’s in it for film studios and production companies if not replacing humans with a much cheaper alternative?

Using AI technology to replace human actors would not be like depicting a human in a cartoon, which has a clear genre distinction from live-action movies. Nor is it like using puppets or CGI to depict creatures that are clearly understood to not be humans and interact with casts of human actors. The technology, as Blunt’s response suggests, could be imperceptible.

Entrepreneurs and the capitalist class are relentlessly seeking to deploy AI in a manner that exceeds its reasonable use cases in order to maximize profits. This profit motive will incentivize the use of AI “actors.” Even if they aren’t as good, they’ll be cheaper, they won’t unionize, they won’t complain about unfair or unsafe working conditions, they won’t have scheduling conflicts. In other words, there is no obvious limit on their capacity to be exploited.

The artistry of acting stems from a human being transforming into somebody else and drawing from their own experience to tell a story. Actors have different styles and make unique judgment calls based on their bodies, their inner life, their interpretation of screenplays, their organic chemistry with other actors on set — the outcome of how it all comes together will be unpredictable and reflect something specific about all the creators involved. When you replace that with a computer program, there is no craft or magic — only a simulacrum based on the most hollow form of algorithmic mimicry, designed to replace human beings who have ideas and and emotions with a computer program that cannot. We deserve better.

Video 'Tron: Ares': Release date, plot, cast, & everything we know

'Tron: Ares': Release date, plot, cast, & everything we know

By Fran Ruiz last updated May 27, 2025
Disney is returning to the Grid with "Tron: Ares" in 2025, but the threat may be in the real world this time around.

[Image: J25yuGQLChzbed8v3mTJic.jpg]

Grid is live, initiate Tron: Ares.

Despite Tron: Legacy's less-than-desirable box office performance more than a decade ago (given its $170 million budget), Disney is booting up the Grid again in 2025 for Tron 3; that's right, Tron: Ares is downloading soon to the big screen.

A follow-up to Legacy had actually been in the works for a good while, as the franchise has proven successful in other media and Disney Parks. However, crafting the right story was difficult, and so Tron 3 went through several iterations until the company felt good about it and cast Jared Leto in the lead role. Will this turn out alright or be another failed refresh of a dusty movie series that perhaps was never that big to begin with? We'll find out soon enough.

Of course, Tron: Ares won't be the only sci-fi blockbuster coming from Disney in 2025, with several of its studios leaning hard on the genre: There's Disney's Lilo & Stitch live-action remake Pixar's Elio, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, Predator: Badlands, and Avatar: Fire and Ash.

With Predator: Badlands, Zootopia 2, and Avatar: Fire and Ash set to arrive right after, we're not expecting a release date shift in Disney's schedule unless the threequel hits a snag or the strategy is reworked due to external factors.

Tron: Ares will release exclusively in theaters on October 10, 2025. It'll also be taking over as many IMAX screens as possible. If you're staying at home, you probably won't be able to watch it on VOD, physical formats, and Disney Plus until early 2026.

Watch Tron and Tron Legacy now on Disney+.
Watch Tron and Tron Legacy now on Disney+. And, when it's available, you can watch Tron: Ares on Disney+ as well.

Little is known about the plot of Tron: Ares until marketing starts to boot up and throw previews our way via magazines, stills, or trailers. That said, Disney has already shared a teaser trailer and an official (but brief) synopsis that reads as follows:

"Tron: Ares follows a highly sophisticated program, Ares, who is sent from the digital world into the real world on a dangerous mission, marking humankind's first encounter with A.I. beings."

We know that Jared Leto is playing the titular Ares, the "highly sophisticated program" looking for something in the real world. Jeff Bridges is returning as Kevin Flynn, but it hasn't been confirmed whether he has a large role or is just back as a glorified cameo.

For curious newbies: The original Tron (1982) followed Kevin Flynn, a computer programmer and video game developer who found himself transported inside the software world of a huge computer. His adventure involved interacting with programs to escape and, of course, included the iconic Light Cycles. The late 2010 sequel, Legacy, followed Sam (Flynn's son) responding to a message from his long-lost father. Inside the Grid, he had to team up with the algorithm Quorra and other characters to stop the evil program Clu from, you guessed it, invading the real world.

Information is limited, but for now what we do know is that Tron: Ares will split its runtime between the real world and the Grid. This'll be a tricky balancing act, as the previous Tron movies' main strength was how stylish and distinct their representation of a digital world was. With much of the focus being elsewhere, that plot and those characters better be good; if the teaser trailer is any indication, at least the stakes seem pretty high and that the visuals won't disappoint.

Tron: Ares has received one teaser trailer so far. The first preview shows us short glimpses of the rebooted Grid, an incursion (and later a full-blown invasion) into the real world which almost feels alien in nature, and citizens, law enforcement, and some high-profile actors looking confused. Until we get a deeper look at the movie, we'll be scratching our heads too. Watch the trailer here: https://youtu.be/9KVG_X_7Naw

Ladies & Gentlemen: The Most Terrifying Movie Of The Year

[Image: image.webp]

Horror fans have been fortunate over the past year with a bevy of creepy entertainment offerings, including Academy Award-nominated film Get Out and the trippy Netflix series Black Mirror. However, true lovers of the genre can never never really get enough of a fright fix. Thankfully, the brilliant minds over at A24 (The Witch, Split) have introduced Hereditary, a film so shockingly good that some are saying it's "the most disturbing and terrifying" thing they've seen in years.
According to a press release, the film, which was written and directed by Ari Aster and debuted at the Sundance Film Festival, tells the story of a family whose "cryptic and increasingly terrifying" ancestral secrets begin to reveal themselves following the passing of the family matriarch. Throughout the bone-chilling trailer, star Toni Collette grapples with her loss while she and the rest of her family begin to unravel into chaos — we're talking people walking upside-down on walls, birds flying into windows, people getting set on fire, and a whole slew of other unexplainable events.

Though this particular movie mom seems, well, unhinged, there's no doubt Collette will deliver a compelling performance. Her portrayal of stressed-out single mom Lynn Sear in The Sixth Sense was simultaneously heartbreaking and horrifying. We can only imagine what she'll bring to the table as the one who witnesses paranormal phenomena.

Perhaps the scariest part of Hereditary? We have to wait until June 8, 2018 for the film to hit theaters.

Acclaimed Horror Thriller ‘Oddity’ Gets Digital Steaming Premiere Date
ByTim Lammers, Contributor.  I cover Hollywood and entertainment.

Aug 04, 2024, 01:48pm EDT

IFC FIlms/Shudder/Colm Hogan
Oddity—an indie horror thriller widely embraced by critics—is coming soon to digital streaming.

[Image: 960x0.jpg?cropX1=630&cropX2=2002&cropY1=57&cropY2=828]
Moviegoers have been treated to several horror releases in spring and summer of 2024, including Late Night with the Devil, Abigail, Tarot, The Strangers: Chapter 1 MaXXXine and Longlegs. The latest horror film to hit theaters is Oddity, which came out in limited release on July 19.
