A 1975 X-Men comic book fetched an impressive $170,000 at an auction ... marking it as the second-highest price ever paid for a '70s comic book.

ComicConnect recently sealed the deal on "Giant-Size X-Men #1," the only comic to ever score a near-perfect 9.9 from CGC.

The site's President, Vincent Zurzolo, noted that '70s comics often linger in discount bins for years before nostalgia and significance catch up -- and bump up their value.

Alec Baldwin's never going to forget his manslaughter trial, because there's a filmmaker capturing his every move as part of a documentary about the "Rust" tragedy.

Ever since Alec touched down in Santa Fe, NM for his criminal trial in the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins on the "Rust" movie set, he's been shadowed by a woman with a video camera.

While Alec's got an upcoming reality show about his family airing next year on TLC, our sources say the woman behind the camera is NOT part of that project.

Margot Robbie's showing off her maternity fashion sense on the big stage -- making her first public appearance since revealing her pregnancy at Wimbledon.

The "Barbie" star dressed up her baby bump in a white and black polka dot maternity dress Friday at the All England Club in London.

Margot and husband Tom Ackerley were all smiles as they watched Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev battle on the Centre Court grass ... and the expectant parents even smooched in the stands during the semifinal match.

Shelley Duvall, who famously co-starred in "The Shining," is dead after a painful battle with diabetes.

Dan Gilroy, Shelley's life partner for decades, tells TMZ ... he found Shelley unresponsive in their home in Texas at 7 AM Thursday. He says Shelley had been under hospice care, and bedridden, for the last few months while dealing with complications from diabetes. He says she died in her sleep.

Shelley had the unforgettable role of Wendy Torrance in Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" -- she was on the other side of the door when Jack Nicholson smashes through the door with an ax, yelling ... "Here's Johnny!"

Sydney Sweeney might be a good actress, but she's having trouble looking impressed by a computer-generated image of her ... even when put on the spot to do so.

The "Immaculate" star was shown a 3D, AI-generated portrait of herself Wednesday at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event in Paris, and her reaction is worth a look.

Check out the video ... Sydney's asked what she thinks of the computer version of her portrait and she did her best to force a smile, awkwardly saying, "Awww, I love it."

Matthew McConaughey flew into some trouble after a bee stung him right in the eye -- or pretty darn close -- if his latest IG post is anything to go by.

As you can see, the actor's right eye is completely swollen shut ... looking bee-yond sore in the up-close selfie shared Wednesday.

MM captioned the pic "bee swell" to give some context ... but he didn't spill exact deets or if he's allergic to bees -- just enough to keep us buzzing with questions!

Sharon Stone's doubling down on her support for Kevin Spacey, and suggesting most of the backlash against him for his #MeToo era scandal is rooted in homophobia.

Sharon's driving point is that Kevin should be forgiven, and she even used her own experiences with sexual misconduct to make that point.

She told THR, "Kevin grabbed people by their genitals. Many people. But nobody [has publicly said] he's raped them or forced them into a sexual encounter. But there's so much hatred for him because, in his case, it was man-on-man. That's why he's not allowed to come back. Because he offended men."

Here's Jonathan Majors doing his thang at an after-party for his girlfriend Meagan Good's new movie ... and the guy's a dancing machine when Kendrick Lamar's Drake diss comes on.

Jonathan went off on the dance floor Monday night in New York City, momentarily stealing the spotlight during the premiere bash for Tyler Perry's "Divorce in the Black," which stars Meagan.

Folks who were there whipped out their phones to record Jonathan going HAM to "Not Like Us" ... sure looks like he's having a good time dancing getting in the middle of a group to show off his moves.

Kate Beckinsale finally spilled the beans on what caused her weeks-long hospital stay -- after some harsh trolling about her appearance forced her to set the record straight.

The actress clapped back to one critic who commented her "ass ran away" under an IG vid of her in a revealing pink outfit ... saying the grief over her mom's stage 4 diagnosis and her stepdad's passing was so intense it burned a hole in her esophagus.

The actress explained she was vomiting copious amounts of blood over the diagnosis and found eating very challenging -- which led to her six-week hospitalization in March.

Margot Robbie's proud she's a mother to be ... because she's proudly showing off her growing baby bump.

The megastar is over in Lake Como, Italy with her husband Tom Ackerley ... and she pretty much announced her first pregnancy to the world when she exposed her bare midriff while getting on a boat.

Check out the gallery ... Margot and Tom are super careful boarding the boat -- they've got some very precious cargo here -- and they both can't stop smiling.

Steve Carell might not be able to steal the moon ... but, his new movie's off to such a great start, the producers may be able to buy it when all is said and done.

"Despicable Me 4" -- once again starring Carell as lovable villain-turned-father Gru -- opened July 3, just in time for the holiday weekend ... and, it brought in a  whopping five-day total of $122 million.

More than $75 million just came out of the three-day weekend ... so, a pretty major holiday bump for the overall-clad Minions -- but, even without the extra days, the flick still opened well.

Sam Worthington's showing love for the late, great producer Jon Landau ... lauding his leadership abilities -- and, referring to their hit movie "Avatar."

The actor shared a statement with Deadline early Sunday in honor of producer Jon Landau who passed away Saturday ... saying JL was a passionate producer who led with humor, strength and compassion.

And, Worthington's honoring him through what they made together too ... writing, "The People say all energy is borrowed and someday you have to give it back. I see you, Jon.” The Na’vi -- the main alien tribe from their hit movies "Avatar" and "Avatar: The Way of Water" -- are also known as "The People."

Emma Roberts is doubling down on how nepo baby status ain't all it's cracked up to be ... claiming once again it's lost her jobs -- but never helped her land one.

The actress sat down for an interview with the magazine Flaunt that dropped earlier this week, and she reflected on being a nepo baby ... totally laughing off the idea she's getting help with her career from her dad Eric or aunt Julia Roberts.

ER says, "I’ve lost more jobs than I’ve gained from being in the business. People have opinions and sometimes maybe they’re not good opinions of people in your family. I’ve never gotten a job because of it, I know I definitely have lost a couple of jobs because of it."

Zak Bagans is conjuring up a frightening movie prop to add to his Haunted Museum ... a demon from "The Conjuring 2" horror film.

The "Ghost Adventures" star tells TMZ ... he just got his hands on the original demon prop used in filming for the sequel, designed by 'TC2' director James Wan and special makeup effects designer Justin Raleigh.

Zak says Wan considers this animatronic suit the best demon he's ever used.

Danny Trejo's saying farewell to his beloved Chihuahua Dixie ... a mini-yet-mighty dog that certainly made fans laugh, but Danny tells TMZ she also struck fear into the hearts of his other pets.

Dixie died this week at 16, and Danny's obviously heartbroken -- but he told us he's also full of joy for the smiles and laughs the tough-as-nails pooch provided by scaring the hell out of his pit bulls and Rottweilers. As he puts it, Dixie ran his house!

DT says fans used to be baffled when they saw him with Dixie ... most assuming he would be holding back two massive, brutish K-9s, but Dixie was his baby and always slept with Dad.

Lindsay Lohan just turned 38 and she couldn't be happier.

The actress posted an Instagram photo of herself with a big fat smile on her face as she celebrated her birthday Tuesday. She wore a white blouse and donned a small crown on top of her head with multi-colored bday candles.

In the caption, Lindsay wrote, “Another trip around the sun 🎂🥳🎉😘🙏 grateful for every moment and cherishing every second of everyday and all of the beautiful things life has to offer. Feeling blessed. Thank you for all of the lovely birthday wishes ☺️.”
