WARNING: POTENTIAL HUGE 'AVENGERS 4' SPOILER ALERT!!!

'Avengers 4' had its wrap party Thursday and the centerpiece was a giant Thanos cake, but it's what was underneath the franchise's evil villain that could give away who survives in the flick.

Look closely ... you'll see 4 arms holding up the platform on which Thanos is standing. They appear to be the arms of Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson), Vision (Paul Bettany), Black Panther (Chadwick Boseman) and the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo). Pay attention to the fingernails, claws and colors of the suits.

Marvel execs have hinted some of the superheroes wouldn't make it past "Avengers: Infinity War," which hits theaters in May, and this 'Avengers' film won't see the box office til 2019, so a lot can happen.

The burning question ... do the 4 conquer Thanos, or are they the ones who succumb to his evil powers? Some 'Avengers' fans believe Captain America doesn't make it, and if that's the case the 4 here would be Thanos' worst nightmare.

Sarah Silverman is able to look past the conduct of a man who went on social media and called her a "c***" ... she says because the poor guy is suffering with no financial ability to ease the pain.

We got the comedian at LAX Thursday and asked why she decided to pay the man's medical bills. Her answer is moving and awesome. Turns out the man suffers from excruciating back pain, has no insurance and no means to relieve his agony caused by 5 herniated discs.

Bella Thorne's bf is leaping to defend what might seem indefensible, and demanding Rob Lowe back off his girl ... despite her totally tone deaf comment about the deadly Montecito mudslides.

Bella's dating rapper Mod Sun, the guy she was trying to get to when she ignorantly tweeted about being inconvenienced by the mudslides blocking the 101 freeway. Rob subsequently called her out because she clearly knew nothing about the 17 people who'd been killed in the disaster.

Mod thinks Rob is guilty of shaming Bella, and went after the actor.

No, Scott Disick and Tyga didn't hold a "Klan Reject" meeting Thursday night ... just another day in the life of 2 apparently very eligible bachelors.

Kourtney and Kylie's exes partied together at 1 OAK on the Sunset strip and were seen hanging around waiting for their wheels. There were some baddies hanging around, but no sign of Sofia. Scott jumped in his raised Mercedes Benz G-Wagon and Tyga followed shortly after in his Bugatti.

One of the women accusing James Franco of sexual assault is blasting critics who have latched on to a comment she made ... that she likes to ruin lives.

Violet Paley has claimed Franco forced her head into his lap while his penis was exposed. She told the L.A. Times she and Franco were in a consensual, sexual relationship when they were sitting in a car and he pressured her into performing oral sex on him -- something she had not done to him before. Paley, an aspiring filmmaker, says, "The power dynamic was really off."

Franco has said the allegation is not true, but would not elaborate.

Paley has some questioning her veracity based on this tweet:

The 2018 edition of The Critics' Choice Awards has come to a close ... and we've got all the behind the scenes pics to wrap up the night.

"The Shape of Water" brought home the hardware for Best Picture ... but it was "Big Little Lies" that dominated the awards show.

Angelina Jolie looked stunning, Margot Robbie and Allison Janney popped bottles and the cast of "Get Out" posed for a few pics too.

Killer Mike loves him some Oprah Winfrey as much as anyone ... but that's NOT who he wants running for President in 2020.

We got Mike out at LAX Thursday and asked him about the wave of support -- and some backlash, too -- for Oprah to run against Donald Trump in the next election cycle. But as you can see from this video, KM wasn't having it.

The true "stable genius" might not be President Trump ... instead it's the people cashing in on 45's latest catchphrase.

According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, 3 people have already applied for rights to slap "stable genius" all over apparel. Problem is ... only one can own the rights to put it on clothes.

We spoke to Jeremy Joseph, the second guy to submit his application, who told us he jumped at the chance because he thought Trump's "unintended irony" could be a powerful statement.

The USPTO handles applications on a first-come, first-serve basis, so Jeremy might be S.O.L. if the applicant before him is approved. The third applicant wants a "stable genius covfefe" trademark for a coffee line ... so he's not competing with the other 2.

Patty Hearst's scathing criticism of the upcoming film and TV projects about her life wasn't taken lightly ... Fox just pulled the plug on its film project.

20th Century Fox Film announced Thursday afternoon it's cancelling its planned biopic about Hearst based on the book "American Heiress" by Jeffrey Toobin after she blasted the project and the author for glorifying her rape and torture.

Patty told us she especially took issue with Toobin allegedly referring to his book as "the last word on the subject." She says, "It was offensive to me that a man would have the audacity to tell a woman that he would have the last word on her trauma."

Hearst also took issue with Toobin's book citing one of its main sources as one of Patty's captors, and calling her abduction a "rollicking adventure."

Oprah Winfrey was hell-bent on changing the world and easing racial tension even as a teen at East Nashville High School, according to Gary Holt, who was student body Prez when O was veep.

We spoke to Gary at his home in Knoxville, and he had nothing but rave reviews of O's time in office ... including her successful plan to organize a multiracial band to play at prom.

Remember it was 1971, fresh off the Civil Rights movement, and just 3 years after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated -- so, no small feat for Oprah and Gary.

UFC fighter Jeremy Stephens just hit Conor McGregor with the trash-talkin' KO of the century -- saying he's ready to turn up the heat with the Irishman's "hot" mom!!

You remember how the beef began -- after Jeremy called out Conor at a news conference for UFC 205, Conor whipped around and famously said, "Who da fook is dat guy?!"

About a year later, Stephens shot back ... with a little help from Mama McGregor.

And now, Jeremy's taking it all the way.

"Maybe his dad can pick us up with the cab he used to drive and then take me and his mom out on a date," he told the guys on TMZ Sports (full interview airs tonight on FS1).

Bella Thorne may get the award for the most self-absorbed celebrity after going off that the mudslides inconvenienced her because the debris is blocking her from attending her boyfriend's concert.

Thorne tweeted, then deleted this:

Rob Lowe, who lives in the area, found out about Thorne's tweet and responded, "This attitude is why people hate celebrities/Hollywood. Bella, I'm sorry you were inconvenienced. We will try to move out our dead quicker."

Now we know to whom Oprah was referring on video when she pointed to a neighbor's home that was decimated by the mudslides ... it was the home of actor Jeff Bridges.

The star of "The Big Lebowski" bought the home 3 years ago for $6.8 million. We're told the house could be a total loss, but it's impossible to know at this point because the debris makes the extent of damage almost impossible to assess. Bridges says at the very least, the 3,300 square foot home was "severely damaged."

Oprah trudged through the mud the day after the slides hit and pointed out the home, but never said who owned it.

The slides have killed at least 17 people and 8 are still missing. A hundred homes were destroyed.

The scent of a woman will be pussy if a budding entrepreneur can nail down a trademark for her new line of fragrances inspired by the enduring symbol of the Women's March ... the pussyhat.

Fran Moss filed docs with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in hopes of flooding the market with fragrance-emitting wicks, sachets, pet sprays, body sprays and perfumes -- all with the pussy label.

According to the docs, Fran's toying with product names like pussy juice, pussy power, pussy now, and pussy positive. She also wants her trademark to include the "pussy power color" pink, and the pussyhat ears.

Good luck, Fran -- and if you're looking for a spokeswoman ...
