Marque Lynche ... the former 'All New Mickey Mouse Club' star died of "acute and chronic" alcoholism ... according to the NYC medical examiner.

The former co-star of Britney Spears and Ryan Gosling died back in December, and was found in his NYC apartment by his roommate.

Lynche -- who also shared the spotlight with Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera -- was a Mouseketeer from 1993 to 1995, and also appeared on season 3 of "American Idol."

Got fur controversy? Take it off -- that was Bella Thorne's wise approach on the beach.

The 18-year-old Disney star got super cheeky -- with a side of underboob -- in Malibu Thursday for a photoshoot. No one can question whether this outfit is faux or real.

Hilary Duff looked like she was playing peek-a-boo Saturday in We Ho.

The freshly divorced actress was lunching at fancy schmancy Petrossian in what looks like a flannel shirt, and that's about it. Turns out she was hiding a pair of Daisy Dukes.

Disney star Michael Galeota, who died Sunday at 31, had a rough road to the end.

Galeota struggled with alcohol issues, racking up 3 DUIs from 2006 - 2015. The last DUI -- in September -- was an ongoing case. He served jail time on a few occasions for violating his probation in alcohol-related incidents.

The actor, who starred in "The Jersey" on the Disney Channel, had a history of hypertension and high cholesterol. He also battled diverticulitis, inflammation of the digestive track.

Michael Galeota, star of "The Jersey" on the Disney Channel, has died ... TMZ has learned.

We're told the actor went to the hospital last week after complaining of abdominal pains and left last Wednesday ... against the doctor's advice.

Michael went radio silent over the weekend, and one of his friends went to his Glendale home Sunday to check on him. Michael didn't answer, so the friend climbed through a window and found his body lying in the living room.

We're told Michael had a history of hypertension and high cholesterol. He also battled diverticulitis -- inflammation of the digestive tract.

Our sources say he was not following medical advice. So far it's being treated as a death from "natural causes." An autopsy is pending.

Michael was 31.

RIP

Disney is pulling the plug on pretend warfare by banning all toy guns -- including 'Star Wars' blasters -- from their parks.

Mouse honchos weren't specific on why they upped security measures for Disneyland and Disney World -- but it could be a preemptive response as 'The Force Awakens' is set to premiere.

Other security additions include metal detectors at park entrances, and a ban on adults wearing costumes or masks.

It's a bold move for Disney -- possibly losing tons of cash in merchandise on shelved blasters, and other toy weapons.

Mickey Mouse, Elsa and some superheroes are in a Venezuelan standoff (like a Mexican one, but further south) with a company accused of putting on a bootleg live Disney show.

Disney says it fired off a cease and desist letter last year to the producers of “Aventura Congeladas” (translation: “Frozen Adventure”) ... demanding they kill all marketing and promotion of the show because it jacked mouse house characters.

The producers complied at first, but in a new lawsuit Disney says the show eventually started up again under a new name -- "Vacaciones de Aventuras" (translation: "Adventure Holidays") -- and added Marvel heroes like Spider-Man and Captain America.

Of course, Disney owns Marvel, so for them that's no bueno ... hence, the lawsuit.

Check out a clip of the live production -- Iron Man, Thor, Princesses Elsa and Anna, Olaf and many more make cameos. Disney's lawsuit demands millions for use of its trademarks.

They won't dejalo ir! (That's "let it go" for the gringos.)

Rick Springfield thinks the late Walt Disney is rolling over in his grave because of some rumored changes his company is making with 'Star Wars' merchandise.

Rick is a huge 'Star Wars' fan -- he even owns a VERY rare collectible called Head Man -- so we asked him about Disney allegedly killing all future sales of the Princess Leia 'slave' costume from 'Return of the Jedi.'

Rick's pretty passionate in his belief that someone at Disney's trying to make 'Star Wars' too G-rated, and Walt would NOT be down with that. As for the Mouse's handling of the 'Force Awakens' ... Springfield weighs in on that too.

Scarlett Johansson took a ride at Disney World Thursday, and the park took extraordinary steps to keep it under wraps.

Scarlett and hubby Romain Dauriac had a great time on the Tower of Terror ride, along with some common folks. The folks at Disney routinely take pics of the riders, who then view them afterward for purchase.

One of the families on ScarJo's ride were crestfallen when they were told the pics didn't exist. They smelled a rat, or a foul mouse, and complained to management.

The family -- who asked to not be named or shown in the photo -- tells us they got the royal runaround and finally, after speaking with nearly a half dozen employees, someone from the park sent them an email with the photo.

We don't know if Scarlett wanted the pic 86'd or if Disney World took the initiative. One thing we know, Disney doesn't automatically scrap celeb photos. We've seen pics of other stars, like Ice Cube, on the rides.

If your life is unfulfilled because you never got to ride Disneyland's Space Mountain in your underwear ... redemption is near, because a ton of park treasures are hitting the auction block.

Van Eaton Galleries in Sherman Oaks, CA has some incredible Disneyland swag from over the years ... not just old store merchandise, but actual installments and attractions from the park!

The owner of the gallery gave us a rundown of the big ticket items:

-- Space Mountain ride vehicle, which flashes lights and plays the actual music from the ride, expected to go for $60,000

-- One of the original benches from Main Street, expected to fetch $10,000

-- Jack Skellington head from the Haunted Mansion holiday version, expected to sell for $40,000

The pièce de résistance though, may be the actual PeopleMover ride vehicle ... complete with power roof and soundtrack from the original ride, if you're willing to bid as high as $300,000.

The auction kicks off November 21 ... and if you get the Space Mountain rocket, put down a towel.

Joe Jonas got some nourishment as he DJ'd up a storm at 1Oak Saturday night, courtesy of some Ninja Turtles.

The turtles carted in some pizza pies for the VMA event. Donatello was chatty after making the delivery. He was mum on the tip.

Ice Cube had a good day on Space Mountain ... where he busted out his "F**k tha Police" face just in time for the release of "Straight Outta Compton."

Cube and fam hit up Disneyland last weekend, and instead of his "Are We There Yet?" grin -- he flashed the hardest mug in the entire galaxy.

Sorry, Mickey ... you're not gonna catch O'Shea Jackson Sr. slipping.

In the shuttle, gettin' ready for flight ... lookin' in my mirror, not a Martian in sight.

Kanye West isn’t the biggest "Frozen" fan in the world and the ice princess onstage at Disneyland gave him a cold stare for it.

Kanye must have been exhausted from walking around the park for North West’s birthday -- 'cause he caught some major ZZZZZs during the "Frozen" sing-along show. The problem for Daddy West is he's pretty high profile.

A Disney employee noticed him, umm ... resting his eyes, and later said on FB and Twitter ... “when you perform for the Kardashian family for North’s birthday…and Kanye sleeps through the whole show.”

Our park sources tell us the employee was the woman who played Elsa. We're also told Kanye passed out for the entire performance, which is only 25 minutes. So, kinda perfect time for a nap.

Bottom line here ... Kanye's just like most other dads.

North West had an awesome second birthday she'll never remember... at Disneyland.

The Kardashian klan was on hand -- Kim, Kanye, Kourtney, Kendall, Kylie, Mason, Penelope, Tyga and his son King Cairo. No sign of Kris Jenner or Scott Disick, but still ... solid turn out.

They did the usual kids stuff ... lots of rides and a petting zoo.

Mariah Carey had a relaxing visit to Disneyland on Tuesday ... her staff, not so much.

The "Infinity" singer employed two nannies, four bodyguards (one of whom was tasked with holding her Louis Vuitton bag), three Disneyland VIP tour guides and a woman who served as her umbrella holder while she strolled around the park with her two kids.

Somewhere Nick Cannon is looking at these photos and laughing to himself.

Christina Aguilera made another trip to Disneyland Saturday with a pic of Mickey emblazoned on her chest ... the same mouse she called an "a**hole" just months earlier.

The famous singer strolled around with her fiance Matt Rutler and her son Max.

You may recall, the judge of "The Voice" got into it with Mr. Mouse last December, when she wanted a pic with the rodent who was on his break. As we reported things got heated and that's when she dropped the "a-hole" characterization of the famous character.

This time all was peaceful ... Christina was escorted by Disneyland staff. No animals were harmed.
