Ace Frehley may have recently died ... but his musical spirit is very much alive as one of his famous guitars is set to go on the auction block.

The legendary Kiss axman owned and signed the Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Smoking Guitar, which is one of several instruments being sold at the online auction presented by GottaHaveRockandRoll.com. The bidding will start Wednesday with a minimum bid of $100,000 for a piece of Ace history.

Remember ... the guitar features modifications for Ace's memorable "Smoking" effect that mesmerized crowds while he played onstage during his electric performances.

Dillion Danis better keep his head on a swivel ... 'cause the beef with Team Islam Makhachev is anything but squashed, according to the newly crowned welterweight champ's manager, Ali Abdelaziz.

"This is not over. This is not over," Abdelaziz told TMZ Sports on Monday.

"This guy is not safe. Whole Foods, the airport at a terminal, if people catch this guy, he's gonna have problems. He's not done, these people are not done with him. For the rest of his life. [Dillon] or Conor, they're not safe. Or they have to come out and say, 'Know what, we're sorry, we give up. We're done.' Then after that you'll get mercy."

Health scare for Liev Schreiber ... he's hospitalized in New York City, where he's going through a battery of tests.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … the "Ray Donovan" star had a massive headache Sunday and he called his doctor, who told him to immediately go to a hospital.

We're told 58-year-old Liev followed his doctor's advice and stayed overnight Sunday at a NYC hospital ... and today, doctors have been running tests on him.

It's unclear what is ailing Liev -- our sources say doctors don't know the nature of the problem -- but we're told Liev is able to speak and walk without any issues and has the full use of his limbs.

Jack Doherty is spilling on his Miami arrest ... telling TMZ the whole thing was so mind-numbingly boring, he’s actually calling it the worst day of his life.

The embattled influencer tells TMZ it was a brutal slog -- first stuck in a tiny cell with a cop for five hours, then shuffled off for a mugshot and fingerprints ... before spending another 10 hours in a big holding room where he could finally make some calls.

The day didn’t even end there ... the 22-year-old says he got thrown into yet another cell, took a nap, and then got jolted awake by guards who, he claims, were super nice -- even telling him TMZ had already posted his mugshot -- before letting him finally go.

Sydney Hardeman -- the viral Beyoncé fan who recently took her own life -- had realized her dream of becoming a pilot ... and she worried being too open about mental health struggles could doom her career, TMZ has learned.

As we reported ... Sydney died by suicide on November 8 at age 25. She was engaged and set to be married this upcoming April ... and had reached viral fame for her reaction to Beyoncé's 2018 Coachella set.

Jamie, Sydney Hardeman’s mother, tells TMZ … her daughter was concerned about seeking help … because being so open about her situation might have ruined her career.

Veteran rapper Talib Kweli was involved in a hellfire-heated exchange with security guards backstage at his Black Star concert last Saturday -- and TMZ Hip Hop has the explosive exchange all on tape!!!

The scene opens with Kweli barking at the top of his lungs at a group of men behind the curtain, demanding they tell him "Who the f*** they think they are!!!"

According to the sounds of the argument, Kweli was royally pissed off that security guards had walked onto the stage 1 minute past the 11PM curfew to stop the show, and was upping the bass in his voice towards anyone who tried to calm him down!!!

The executor of O.J. Simpson's estate, Malcolm Lavergne, stopped by "TMZ Live" Monday and admitted the estate doesn't have enough to cover Fred Goldman's $57 million creditor claim ... but he says they'll pay what they can.

Lavergne told us bluntly, "The reality is the estate currently doesn't have that kind of money and, practically, the estate probably will never have that kind of money."

So why did the estate accept the multimillion-dollar settlement? Lavergne explained it isn't based on how much Simpson's estate can afford, but whether the claim itself is valid.

"H3 Podcast" host Hila Klein says she's dealing with all sorts of vile threats simply for being Jewish ... and she says someone even sent her two human skulls in the mail!!!

The cohost of the comedy podcast tells TMZ ... she fears for her safety after two human skulls showed up at her office, and cops were called to her home over bogus claims that her children were living in filth.

We obtained photos of the human skulls sent to Hila and her husband, Ethan Klein, and it's pretty eerie.

11/17/2025 11:28 AM PT -- A rep for the Goldman family tells TMZ ... "The Executor’s acceptance of the claim is a positive acknowledgement of the debt; however, it does not constitute payment. This acceptance simply allows the administration of the claim to move forward in probate. We will continue to monitor the probate process as it progresses.”

O.J. Simpson's estate seems one step closer to paying Fred Goldman money he's owed for winning his wrongful death lawsuit years ago ... because the estate's accepted a multimillion-dollar settlement.

Malcolm LaVergne -- the Simpson estate executor -- filed court documents earlier this week in which he accepts Fred's creditor claim in the "amount of $57,997,858.12 (U.S.), plus judgment interest on the approved amount."

Goldman originally asked for north of $117 million ... but, LaVergne argues that -- despite what he sees as a good faith effort on Goldman's part to determine an accurate amount -- the interest hasn't been calculated correctly.

The saying goes "age ain't nothing but a number" -- but the gap between Blueface and his new boo thang Hazel-E has the "Thotiana" rapper's mama rethinking the math a little bit!!!

TMZ Hip Hop caught up with Karlissa Saffold Harvey at the Northridge Mall in L.A. last week ... and it appears we broke the news about the 17-year age difference Blue has with Hazel.

Karlissa was under the impression that Hazel-E was about "38-ish" -- a testament to the "Love & Hip Hop" star's good genes -- but judging from her reaction, her little boy Blue will have to exercise ALL his options.

Stefon Diggs is going after a social media star who accused him of drugging, sexually assaulting and later conspiring to kill him ... with the NFL star calling the claims pure fiction!!

The lawsuit, which TMZ Sports obtained, was filed by 31-year-old Diggs on October 1 ... with the Patriots star wideout accusing "would-be social media influencer" Christopher Blake Griffith of concocting a lurid story about him, stemming from an alleged incident at Stefon's Rockville, Maryland home in May 2023.

Diggs says he, along with Griffith and other influencers, hit up a local club after a charity basketball game in Washington, D.C., before later returning to Stefon's home. The Pats receiver says he then went to his bedroom, while his assistant asked Griffith to leave, capping a fairly mundane night.

It's safe to say Kevin Love is a future Hall of Famer ... and when that day comes, the NBA star tells TMZ Sports he would be honored to get the recognition "as a Cavalier."

We caught up with the 2016 champion and five-time All-Star this week ... and talked all about his NBA present and future, legacy in Cleveland, recent Instagram antics and partnering up with Shift Naturals, a lineup of non-alcoholic products to help folks unwind after a long day.

At 37 years old, the Utah Jazz forward said he's started to think about what retirement life would be like ... but as of right now, he's open to playing a few more seasons.

The NY Giants need franchise QB Jaxson Dart on the football field ... and that's why former star running back Brandon Jacobs is imploring the young player to SLIDE!!!

TMZ Sports spoke with the two-time Super Bowl winner earlier this week after Dart took another hard hit during Big Blue's November 9th game against the Chicago Bears, forcing him out of the game with a concussion.

It was the fourth time Dart was forced into the infamous blue medical tent ... and while Jacobs loves JD's mobility and playmaking ability, he's pleading with the rookie to learn how to avoid big hits.

Famous YouTuber and content creator Jack Doherty has been arrested in the Miami area, TMZ can confirm.

He was cuffed by Miami Beach Police outside a smoke shop and booked into Florida's Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center just before 9 AM on 3 charges -- possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and resisting arrest.

Specifically, cops say he was in possession of Amphetamine -- a medication used to manage ADHD and narcolepsy -- and less than 20 grams of weed.

Video of his arrest shows him arguing with police.

4:16 PM PST -- Jeremy Renner's lawyer, Marty Singer, tells TMZ ... "There was no deal reached with Yi Zhou to resolve my client Jeremy Renner’s substantial multi million dollar claims against her."

He adds ... "I have no knowledge why Yi Zhou would fabricate a story that a deal has been made with her since she was notified that there was no deal with her, including her use of Jeremy Renner in an animated movie when he only agreed to be in a documentary."

It looks like director Yi Zhou and actor Jeremy Renner are putting their differences aside after a contentious battle over their recent relationship and professional collaborations.

We told you all about it -- the pair shot cease and desist letters at each other after their professional relationship soured ... with Zhou accusing the Marvel star of coming onto her and then refusing to cooperate professionally, and Renner saying quite the opposite -- that the filmmaker threw herself at him repeatedly.

But, that's all in the past ... 'cause Zhou tells TMZ they have "reached a peaceful and mutually respectful resolution" and will be moving forward with their joint projects, "Chronicles of Disney" and the AI-animated "Stardust Future."

Ivanka Trump's soaking up some rays in The Sunshine State ... putting on a leggy display while paddleboarding across some calm water down south.

The First Daughter cut through the water around Indian Creek Island in Surfside, Florida while wearing a black tank top and tiny tennis skirt ... getting a solid tan on her legs during her relaxing afternoon out.

Ivanka kept the sun out of her eyes with matching black visor ... and she pulled her hair back into a tight ponytail.
