Madonna has unloaded her beautiful Hidden Hills mansion ... and the Queen of Pop is making a fortune on the sale, TMZ has learned.

Madonna recently sold her ray of light for a whopping $23M. Her estate initially hit the market with a $26M price tag before reducing it to $23.5M. The buyer got her to shave off half a mil, so here we are.

Madonna is still making a sold profit ... TMZ broke the story, she picked up the place from The Weeknd back in 2021 for $19.3 mil.

The stunning estate sits on 3 acres and comes in at over 12.5K square feet ... with 9 beds and 11 baths. It has some great perks, like a glass wine cellar, theater, music lounge (obviously), a study, and a really neat no-edge, saltwater pool out back.

Trevor Wright of The Beverly Hills Estates held the listing.

We reached out to The Beverly Hills Estates, but they had no comment.

Lindsay Lohan's first little bundle of joy is almost here, and the actress will in fact be havin' a boy ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Lindsay and her husband, Bader Shammas, are expecting the little dude, and pretty soon -- we're told she's very close to giving birth.

As we first reported, Lindsay's mother, Dina, will actually be by her side in Dubai for the birth ... and some of Lindsay's siblings will also be overseas around the same time as the birth to meet their new nephew.

Remember, the "Freaky Friday" star made the expecting announcement back in March ... with a swarm of support from fans and friends online.

Lindsay and Bader spent some time with her family in April -- marking the first time she had been with her mom and other members of her fam all together in at least 7 years.

As for the happy couple, they got married last year after sparking a romance just before the pandemic ... and now the 2 have something very exciting to look forward to very soon.

Big-time Barbie fans are gonna LOVE the way her IRL Malibu Dreamhouse looks after a pink glow-up ... a renovation completed just before the anticipated flick hits theaters.

This oasis is the real deal -- overlooking the Pacific Ocean in the heart of Malibu -- and the new color really pops ... certainly what Barbie would've wanted.

Aside from the new makeover, the spot has some sweet decor sprinkled throughout the home ... with a theater, hobby room and a luxurious infinity pool.

The mansion took to Airbnb in 2019 with a price tag of just 60 bucks to commemorate the iconic doll's 60th anniversary.

Back then, the home had splashes of pink, but this new look is a completely different beast.

The paddock just got a bit more crowded -- Ryan Reynolds, Michael B. Jordan and Rob McElhenney are hopping on Formula One's massive rise in popularity and investing in the Alpine Racing team!!

Renault, Alpine's parent company, announced the news on Monday ... saying Otro Capital, RedBird Capital Partners and Maximum Effort Investments (which includes the trio of actors) are taking a 24% equity stake in the organization ... which is worth $218 million.

Otro Capital's Alec Scheiner will get a seat on Alpine's board of directors as part of the deal.

This is yet another sports venture for RR and RM, who famously bought Welsh soccer team Wrexham AFC back in 2020. Reynolds was also recently interested in purchasing the Ottawa Senators, although his bid did not move forward.

Alpine couldn't be more thrilled with the deal ... saying the partnership "will bring successful sports & media experience and operational expertise in building high-growth companies."

Alpine is currently fifth in the Constructor standings this season with drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon ... who are notably covered in the hit Netflix series, "Drive To Survive."

F1 has reached new heights in America in recent years ... with the sport adding races in Miami and Las Vegas.

Harrison Ford sees age as just a number, sayin' he's got no plans to retire despite turning 80 ... so here are some other senior celebs who have also hit the big milestone without stopping!

Good ol' Indiana Jones isn't alone when it comes to timeless talent -- Martha Stewart's still cooking at 81, and looks GREAT doing it, while Morgan Freeman's appearing in countless projects as the years go on ... with 6 more in production!

Even Mick Jagger, who will be celebrating the big 8-0 next month, still has the moves ... just like he did when the Rolling Stones debuted back in 1962.

Countless others fit the same bill as these legends -- like Clint Eastwood, Rita Moreno, Al Pacino, Patrick Stewart, Michael Caine and James Earl Jones!

Margot Robbie is about to play Barbie on the big screen -- and in the lead-up to that, she's also the only one who apparently knows there's a theme to this ... color-wise, we mean.

The actress showed up to a press shoot Sunday in Beverly Hills with a bunch of her costars from the flick -- including Ryan Gosling, who's playing Ken. They all got together to pose for shots and to talk to journalists ... but MR stood out like a sore thumb, in a good way.

Take a gander ... she's quite literally the sole person rocking pink, and the juxtaposition is jarring. Everyone else is in brown/beige/grey -- as if they were there to promote "Dune 2" and not THE "Barbie" movie ... which is all about girly-girl vibes and vibrant shades/tones.

As we said, Margot did her job and served as a good soldier for the promo ... as she has been for the past several months now. She certainly knows how to telegraph Barbie.

A lot of people say she was born for this role ... and by the way she's oozing Barbie-core of late, that's probably accurate. Plus, this flick stands to be a big bounce-back for her in terms of projected box office numbers ... it's one of the most highly-anticipated films of the year.

In light of a couple of flops she was a part of last year, Margot could use a big opening weekend -- and considering all the fanfare and chatter online ... it's definitely got a chance.

Of course, she and the rest of the "Barbie" crew will have stiff competition that weekend ... Christopher Nolan's new blockbuster, "Oppenheimer," is coming out the same day -- and it too has a very starry cast, albeit a completely different tone.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are being put over a barrel at Netflix -- 'cause they're apparently on the verge of losing millions unless they pivot ... so says a new report.

According to The Sun, Netflix honchos have recently had a convo with the ex-Royal couple ... supposedly telling them to make better, must-see content -- or risk not getting the rest of their $100-million-plus contract ... which they've already gotten about half of at this point.

Indeed ... the reported conditions have been set -- namely, Meg and Harry must produce higher quality shows, docs, and/or movies to claim the rest of their bag ... and if they don't, Netflix is apparently prepared to cut their deal short and refuse to pay 'em out in full.

The Sun goes on to say -- citing an unnamed source claiming to be plugged in -- Netflix was happy with the results for their bombshell doc ... but have been disappointed about everything after that, which presumably includes PH's forthcoming Invictus docuseries (which is still happening and coming out around August). Anything else though is nowhere to be found.

The report notes Meghan pitched an idea for an animated series about a girl inspired by historical female figures -- but that got dropped by Netflix. It would seem they didn't think it was compelling ... a recurring theme we're now hearing about them as creatives.

Now, on the prospect of potentially cutting 'em loose unless they deliver ... The Sun's source says the streaming giant wouldn't do it as publicly/humiliatingly as Spotify did. However, they do concede it would grab big headlines in and of itself ... and probably be a bad look.

No word on a timetable for them to make good on their deal, but it sounds like the clock is ticking for them. Gotta say ... this is not great news for Harry and Meghan. It would seem that wherever they've inked big-time deals ... the companies have been unsatisfied.

They're already filthy rich as is -- but if their Hollywood prospects are cut short ... that could seriously impact their financial futures in the long run. So, they kinda gotta get with it on ideas.

Jon Hamm finally tied the knot -- and he did it with a former 'Mad Men' costar, no less ... with a lot of other nods to the show that made him super famous.

The actor married Anna Osceola Saturday after getting engaged last year ... and after dating for 2 years. They'd actually met on the set of 'Mad Men' in 2015 ... and apparently circled back with each other after Jon split with his longtime partner, Jennifer Westfeldt.

Now, as for the nuptials themselves ... absolutely stunning. Jon and Anna got hitched at beautiful Anderson Canyon in Big Sur -- so, yes, it was a seaside wedding of sorts.

The reason the Big Sur location is significant isn't lost on fans of 'MM' -- the series ended with Don Draper there having a rediscovery of himself ... and the final shot shows Jon's character stumbling across an epiphany for the iconic "Hilltop" Coke ad of 1970.

Nice little nod, obviously -- but the guest list was just the cherry on top for a "Mad Men" flashback. John Slattery showed up to congratulate his old costar, and there was even a hint of "Mad Men"-themed cocktails on hand as an homage. Lord knows those boys drank!

Other A-listers in attendance ... Billy Crudup -- who just recently got married himself -- plus Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, and others. Their walkup song was James Bond-linked too ... with a band playing the theme to "You Only Live Twice." Indeed, it was all 1960s fare here.

As for the bride and groom ... they looked great. Jon was incredibly dapper in his tux -- and Anna wowed with her flowing gown. Everyone else was dressed to the nines as well.

Julian Sands' tragic story may finally get some closure after all -- hikers discovered human remains in the same area where he went missing ... and they could very well be his.

The San Bernardino Sheriff's Dept. reported the remains were found on Saturday in Mount Baldy. Deputies responded to the scene and brought the victim's remains to the coroner's office for identification ... which will be revealed next week.

As we reported, Sands went missing in January after hiking alone in the mountainous area just north of Los Angeles. A full-scale search and rescue effort was undertaken but with no success ... even as recently as June.

In fact, it was just last week SBSD conducted its eighth organized search with a rescue team of about 80 volunteers. Hundreds of hours have been put into the search ... through the use of helicopters, drones, and other tactics. SBSD said they came up short yet again.

Sands' family recently made their first statement since the actor disappeared ... saying they were, "deeply grateful to the search teams and coordinators who have worked tirelessly to find Julian." Some of Sands' relatives have expressed they've already said their goodbyes.

Sands starred in popular films during the '80s and '90s -- including "Warlock", "Arachnophobia," "Gothic," "Boxing Helena," and more. He was 65 when he vanished.

For Joseph Baena and Arnold Schwarzenegger, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree ... Joseph's looking absolutely jacked as he films his very first action flick.

TMZ obtained these behind-the-scenes photos from the set of the upcoming action movie, "Called to Duty," and Joseph is super shredded ... just like his pops.

Arnold's son will be showing off his guns on the big screen ... it looks like they filmed one scene in the gym, where he's lifting weights in a tank top.

The movie sounds kind of like "Top Gun" ... it's about Navy air show pilots who get sent into battle ... and it's loosely based on real events between the United States and North Korea.

Joseph is playing Lt. Andrew "Bells" Harris, a Navy fighter pilot, and it's his first foray into action movies ... so his dad's gotta be super proud.

Kaley Cuoco's looks over the years are 'Bangin!'

Here is a 21-year-old version of the blonde beauty shooting a promo pic for "The Big Bang Theory" in Los Angeles back in 2007 (left). This was just the beginning of her 12-season run on the hit show, playing the role of Penny.

And, 16 years later the beautiful actress has diverted from her blonde days and recently freshened up -- going brunette -- at the premiere for Peacock's "Based On A True Story" in WeHo (right).

True story ... she's still a force to be reckoned with in Hollywood, but the question is ...

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is a man of his word ... after vowing to help UFC fighter Themba Gorimbo, who is struggling financially, the MMA fighter tells us the two plan to meet up very soon!

"It's surreal, to be honest, that The Rock wants to meet me," the 32-year-old fighter told TMZ Sports this week.

"I mean it's everyone's dream to meet The Rock but this is the other way around -- The Rock wants to meet me! I'm so excited!"

ICYMI, ESPN shared Gorimbo's (11-4) story last month ... and the world learned he had just $7 in his bank account before his UFC Fight Night fight in Las Vegas.

The tweet hit close to home for Dwayne. He famously had 7 bucks in his pocket after his football career came to an abrupt end with the Canadian Football League in 1995.

Obviously, The Rock signed with the WWE, started acting in movies, and became the biggest entertainer in the world. He started a production company, too ... which he named Seven Bucks Production.

"I once had $7 bucks too. I’ve been there on that grind.," The Rock tweeted. "Got your back, brother. I’ll help. You got this. I’ll be in touch."

Now, the two are going to meet face-to-face, according to Gorimbo ... and he's stoked!

"Me and him, we are the seven bucks boys," Gorimbo said. "Seven is my lucky number."

The Zimbabwean fighter says he has some ideas for Johnson when they finally meet in person ... he'd like a movie made about his life!

"He's the man that can do my story properly, so that's the only thing I'm going to ask, mostly."

Harrison Ford might be 80 years old, but the guy's not ready to hang it up in Hollywood just yet ... in fact, it sounds like he'll continue acting for as long as he can.

The legendary actor was chopping it up with Chris Wallace on a forthcoming episode of his show, and CW asked him straight up ... any thoughts on retiring??? Obviously, the question is being posed because of Harrison's age -- but check out his initial reaction ... he scoffs!

HF follows that up with an interesting point -- namely, he says he doesn't do well without something to do, like professional work on a movie/TV set. The reason for that, he says, is that he likes to feel useful. Not just that, but he apparently gets a thrill out it ... being helpful and of service. Sounds like he's saying ... as long as he can do that, he'll keep going.

Harrison also explains what he loves about productions in general -- and, to him, it's the feeling of bringing something to life, with everyone having a common goal. What's more, he says he never actually plans out how he'll react to scenes ... and just lets it play out naturally.

There's another clip from this interview that's making the rounds as well -- and it's all about Harrison insisting on how he doesn't play "heroes" ... but, more so, regular people who do heroic things. It's pretty interesting to hear him talk about that ... he's pretty passionate.

FWIW, he's actually about to play a superhero in some upcoming Marvel projects ... dude's been cast to portray Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, who eventually becomes Red Hulk.

Adam Sandler congratulated Happy Gilmore on his big golf news this week -- and no, this ain't a joke.

As it turns out, there's a young guy who actually goes by the same name as the famed Sandler movie character -- and yes ... the dude knows a thing or two about swinging clubs. Happy is a high school golfer, but on Friday -- he announced the next chapter of his career.

Happy took to Twitter and wrote, "I am very excited to announce that I have committed to continue my academic and golf career at Ball State University. I am very grateful for the opportunity Coach Fleck has given me! I would like to thank my family, my friends and coaches who push me everyday!"

Seems like somebody notified AS about the surreal development, and he responded. Adam quote-tweeted this and wrote, "Go get em Happy. Pulling for you." HG replied to that, saying ... "my life is complete." BTW, the "Happy Gilmore" jokes didn't end there though.

An account identifying itself as the "real" Shooter McGavin -- Happy's archnemesis in the movie -- responded to Happy's declaration as well, dropping a line from the film ... in true Shooter fashion.

Now, there doesn't appear to be much film on this kid ... so there's no telling how good he is. However, it looks like he's an avid golfer and has even attempted at getting in some pro tourneys. If he's going to school to continue playing the game -- he's gotta be kinda decent.

One last thing worth mentioning ... Happy isn't this guy's real name. He was born as a "Landon" -- but started going by Happy at a young age once he took up golf.

He definitely milks this whole thing too ... his Twitter bio says, "yes i can do 'the happy gilmore' swing" -- presumably, that means he can drive the hell out of the thing/go long.

The Titanic submersible story has captivated the world, and you can count Adele as one of the many mesmerized. In fact, she's got Qs about it too -- for her audience, no less.

The singer was performing during her Vegas residency Friday night when, at one point, she paused her crooning to talk to the crowd ... namely, to ask them about OceanGate's Titan vessel -- and whether anyone there would want to go see the Titanic wreckage like they did.

Adele takes an impromptu poll for the Yeas and Nays ... and from the sound of it, more people definitely would not put themselves in that situation. Ditto for Adele, as it turns out.

It's pretty funny ... she also poses the hypothetical of getting on a rocket ship to space -- something that's happening a lot more lately among other billionaires -- and there, too, the audience didn't seem onboard. Adele's right there with them ... calling herself a "p***y."

Interestingly enough, Adele says she can understand why some would wanna take the big risk and head down thousands of feet to examine the famed sunken ship ... but for her, it's just too scary of a thought. After the thing imploded underwater, probably more so.

Here's the kicker ... Adele is actually pretty into the Titanic. She once had a Titanic-themed birthday party to ring in her 30th birthday -- complete with the fancy stairwell and everything.

Henry Cavill apparently might've had the role of James Bond locked up in the 2000s -- and he would've gotten away with it too ... if it wasn't for that meddling Daniel Craig.

This revelation was made courtesy of Martin Campbell -- the director of "Casino Royale," which was the first new Bond movie to feature DC post-Pierce Brosnan. According to him, not only did Henry throw his hat in the ring for the coveted role ... but he was a real contender.

Here's what Campbell had to say about HC's audition way back when ... "He looked great in the audition. His acting was tremendous. And look, if Daniel didn’t exist Henry would have made an excellent Bond."

Campbell adds, "He looked terrific, he was in great physical shape … very handsome, very chiseled. He just looked a little young at that time back then."

Now, while Campbell notes that Henry wasn't his personal favorite at the time out of the final group being considered -- he still concedes ... the dude certainly could've done it. Unfortunately, Craig rolled through and gave it a shot -- and ended up landing the gig.

Now on the prospect of Henry potentially circling back and snagging the role of 007 now, Campbell addresses what most everyone else has said about HC at this point ... namely, he's kinda considered a geyser by Hollywood standards, especially for a multi-year commitment.

He explains that Craig spent a good decade-plus playing Bond -- and that sort of time could start to become noticeable on an actor like Henry, who's already in his 40s. MC continues ... "Henry’s 40, so by the time he’s done the third one he’s going to be 50 and anything beyond that’s two, three years per Bond. He’s in good shape Henry, he’s a good guy."
