The iconic "Home Alone" house is up for sale, but it's coming along with a bit of controversy -- 'cause despite realtors' claims, TMZ has learned the movie wasn't shot inside.

Julio Macat -- cinematographer for the 1990 Christmas classic -- tells TMZ ... exterior shots for the movie were filmed at the home now on the market, but they never actually shot scenes inside the home.

Instead, we're told the film was shot at the then-defunct New Trier Township High School in Chicago on massive sets.

Richard M. Sherman -- half of the Sherman Brothers songwriting duo responsible for some of the biggest Disney hits ever -- has died ... according to the Walt Disney Company.

Sherman passed away at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills, the company posted on its website. The announcement cites age-related illness as the cause of death.

Richard and his brother Robert -- who died of natural causes in 2012 -- caught their first big break in Hollywood in 1959 when their song "Tall Paul" reached #7 on the charts.

Some say The Kardashians are Hollywood's version of a Royal Family ... and now Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's firstborn is ready to take the crown!

North West made her Hollywood Bowl singing debut Friday evening ... performing "I Just Can't Wait to Be King" at the Bowl's "The Lion King" live concert event.

TMZ obtained a pic of Mama Bear Kim watching from the crowd with Chicago sitting in her lap.

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are lookin' very newlywed ... tooling around the Hamptons and flashing their rings in the first shots of them since their reported secret wedding.

The happy couple were out and about Friday doing some shopping ... and, just check out the huge grins on their faces -- they seem in a rather celebratory mood, we gotta say, while dressed in light, summery clothes.

Millie's throwing her hands up in the air victoriously while Jake gives a thumbs up to the photogs as they cruise around in a convertible -- and yeah, his left hand is a little more weighed down than when we last saw him.

Jennifer Lopez might be her own biggest fan -- she definitely looks like it as she poses for selfies in front of her own billboard promoting her own movie! Super meta moment.

Check out these shots of J Lo Friday in L.A., where she pulled over to grab some 'gram-worthy snaps with her massive "Atlas" billboard in the background -- and you can tell she's hitting all her angles.

The photoshoot didn't stop there ... the star even swung by the Netflix billboard sporting the bold message, "DON'T F WITH JLO" -- a nod to her butt-kicking character in the streamer's new action flick.

Millie Bobby Brown is a married woman -- she reportedly said "I do" to Jon Bon Jovi's son, Jake Bongiovi, in a not just low-key, but at this point, top-secret ceremony.

The "Stranger Things" star and Jake got hitched last weekend, somewhere in the U.S. ... according to a new report from The Sun.

The outlet says the couple married in a small private ceremony as a precursor to a larger one they plan on having later this year.

Vince Vaughn's flexing his vocal chops, hitting the stage in Sin City for some good ol' country jamming.

An eyewitness tells TMZ ... the movie star was spotted at the Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails Wednesday inside The Cosmopolitan, where he joined the resident Tomlinson Brown Band for some sing-along fun.

As you can see ... Vince lets the band do most of the heavy lifting while he joined them to perform Hank Williams Jr.'s "Family Tradition," and Alan Jackson's "Chattahoochee."

The iconic "Home Alone" house, which sits in a Chicago suburb, is up for sale -- but you've got to have some seriously deep pockets if you want to make it yours.

The Winnetka, IL home, which sits on just over half an acre, hit the market Friday with a $5.25 million price tag. The home was fully renovated and expanded in 2018, and the current owners who lived there for 12 years took care in maintaining the architectural detail and integrity of the home's most recognizable spaces.

The homeowners, who bought the place in 2012 for $1.585 million, did, however, maintain some of that OG movie magic ... keeping the front of the stately brick crib exactly the same as depicted in the 1990 film, starring Macaulay Culkin, Catherine O'Hara, Joe Pesci, and Daniel Stern.

An award-winning horror short set in Red Lobster never got a proper release because the chain got wind of the flick and told the director to throw it overboard.

Robin Comisar, writer and director of "Great Choice" -- which gained a cult following thanks to fan-altered bootlegs -- tells TMZ after his 2017 flick starring an up-and-coming Carrie Coon started making waves on the festival circuit, he got hit up by RL brass.

Robin declined to get into specifics about the chat ... but pointed out the obvious ... "Great Choice" never got an official release, which he says has been frustrating since he was so stoked about the project.

Morgan Spurlock -- the filmmaker behind the famous "Super Size Me" documentary -- has died at 53 after complications of cancer.

His death was confirmed by his family Thursday who said, he "passed away peacefully in New York surrounded by family and friends."

His brother Craig Spurlock added, "It was a sad day, as we said goodbye to my brother Morgan. Morgan gave so much through his art, ideas and generosity."

Demi Moore ain't playin' around when it comes to Cher .... 'cause she dressed down an audience member while introducing the iconic singer at Thursday's amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Cannes Gala.

Looking like a million bucks in her silver dress, Demi strolled onstage to give a tribute to Cher in the Hotel du Cap, Eden Roc auditorium in Cap d’Antibes. But things didn't go as smoothly as Demi would have wanted.

Check out this video posted to X ...  the actress, mic in hand, first checked in with the packed crowd to see if "this is the moment we’ve all been waiting for.”

American actor Jamison Newlander was just 17 years old when he was cast to play Alan Frog -- the Santa Carla comic kid and exhilarated vampire hunter -- in the 1987 classic horror film "The Lost Boys."

Jamison shared the screen with Corey Feldman as Jamison's brother and vampire hunter who worked in their parents' comic book store, Edgar, Jason Patric as the quiet teenager who loved pumping iron, Michael and Corey Haim as Michael's clever and witty younger bro who is staked by Edgar, Sam.

Newlander reprised his role as Alan Frog in "Lost Boys: The Thirst" in 2010.

All Bennifer questions are off-limits, at least if you're media covering Jennifer Lopez for her new movie -- and reporters were warned about it before she arrived ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Netflix alerted all the media outlets covering the Hollywood and Mexico City premieres for "Atlas" that no Ben Affleck, and no personal queries were allowed.

We're told they were also informed J Lo would only do group interviews with her costars Sterling K. Brown and Simu Liu by her side -- the studio's version of calling in backup.

Jennifer Lopez is keeping mum over rumors of her troubled marriage to Ben Affleck – and even warned a reporter not to ask about it.

The singer/actress was sitting onstage during Wednesday's panel discussion in Mexico City for her upcoming movie, "Atlas," when she was questioned about the status of her relationship with Ben.

Check out the video ... off camera, the journalist can be heard asking J Lo to address all the speculation around Ben. J Lo got the message loud and clear, and gave the newsman a little piece of her mind.

A Jennifer Lopez Netflix billboard is sending a strong message: don't mess with her -- or at least not with the titular character of her new action thriller movie, "Atlas."

Check out this billboard on L.A.'s famous Sunset Strip -- it's got a simple yet powerful message: "DON'T F WITH JLO" ... and while some driving by might initially think it's J Lo herself sending a warning, the Netflix logo accompanying it makes it clear it's just a clever promo for her new flick.

The marketing team nailed it ... especially 'cause the film revolves around her character, Atlas Shepherd, a data analyst who has to rely on AI to save humanity -- so yeah, she'll be doing some serious butt-kicking when it hits the streamer Friday.

Ben Affleck toyed with the paps Wednesday, by hiding the one body part that has mesmerized the public!

Ben was out and about L.A., picking up his son Samuel from school, with a bunch of paps in tow. As the photogs train their cameras on his left hand, Ben cleverly hides the appendage in his sweater.

Of course, what the photogs were looking for was his ring finger. Ben has flipped back and forth over the last few weeks, sometimes wearing his wedding ring and sometimes not.
