Patrick Muldoon's sudden death this week rocked fans and Hollywood ... but TMZ has learned one of his last completed projects might help some heal.
As we reported ... the film and TV star best known for his roles in "Days of Our Lives," "Melrose Place," and "Starship Troopers" died after suffering a heart attack on Sunday.
Kevin Interdonato, the writer-director of “Dirty Hands,” tells TMZ … the premiere for the crime thriller in which Patrick is the star, is tonight in New Jersey … and what was going to be a celebration of the film is now a celebration of Patrick.
Rep. James Comer is telling people not to worry about aliens snatching up American scientists, because he says hostile foreign nations are more likely to blame. Great!
The reality is nearly a dozen scientists with knowledge of America's nuclear and/or space programs have either died or gone missing since 2022 ... and House Oversight Committee Chairman joined us Tuesday on "TMZ Live" to talk about government investigations into the mystery.
Comer makes it clear he doesn't think aliens are beaming up scientists to learn about humanity's weaknesses -- as some are theorizing online -- though he knows some of his colleagues think otherwise.
Instead, the Congressman from Kentucky says it's more likely the usual suspects are involved ... Russian, Iranian or Chinese agents who want info on the USA's nuclear capabilities.
ICYMI ... the mystery surrounding 11 scientists is now on the radar of the FBI, and even President Trump was briefed on it last week.

Our TMZ DC Crew talked to Representative Chris Deluzio on Tuesday after he'd spoken at a press conference on Veterans Affairs issues ... which included concerns the Trump Administration is trying to privatize the V.A.
Given Deluzio's work with veterans and his own service record -- he went to the Naval Academy and served in the Navy from 2006 to 2012 -- we had to ask him about Trump's assertion he "would have won Vietnam very quickly."
Donald Trump Jr. isn't rushing down the aisle just yet, because he and Bettina Andersonare still figuring out what their big day will actually look like ... TMZ has learned.
Sources close to the couple tell TMZ ... there's no wedding date on the books, and nothing has been officially decided. Instead, we're told they’re actively weighing two very different options.
One possibility is a quick elopement within the next month, with a larger celebration coming later. While a White House event has been floated, our sources say a formal ceremony there isn't feasible in the immediate future, though celebrating there down the line is still being considered.
IvannaLisetteOrtiz -- the woman accused of shooting at Rihanna's L.A. home -- is now completely cut off from her kid … and the judge is leaving barely any wiggle room.
A Florida judge has ruled Ortiz will have zero contact with her child until further order of the court ... the only exception is if the child's father personally approves it. The court ordered the child's father to have 100% time-sharing … meaning full custody and control over the child's day-to-day life.
And this didn't start with Rihanna … Ortiz had already been previously placed on an involuntary psychiatric hold in Florida. She claimed it was based on false accusations, but the judge still flagged concerns.

Angelica claims she was "treated with hostility and exclusion" as soon as she began her employment and was "subjected to severe and pervasive harassment" by Patsy, Elsi, and other staff members. Specifically, she alleges she was "belittled and humiliated in front of coworkers" due to her race, national origin, and religious beliefs.
OnlyFans creator Skylar Mae is thanking Sydney Sweeney and "Euphoria" for giving OF some major free promo with this season's wild storyline ... she says it's bringing eyeballs to the platform.
Skylar tells TMZ ... she loves the scene where Sydney dresses up in a dog costume to make money as an adult content creator ... and it sounds like art imitating life.

We caught up with Fabio and his wife in L.A. Monday ... who told us about a wild run-in when a woman came up to him -- thinking he was actually the real late icon -- proclaiming "I knew you weren't dead!"
It’s not a one-off -- Fabio tells us people genuinely do double takes all the time ... and his recent viral meet-up with Jaafar Jackson only added to the lookalike madness.
Rep. Morgan McGarvey is quickly learning TMZ DC is here to shake things up on Capitol Hill ... even the Congressional Baseball Game is in our sights!!!
We got the Congressman from Kentucky on his way to practice for the Congressional big game, and Jacobtold him the charity event needs some serious stakes.
Our suggestion ... the game's MVP gets free rein to pass a bill. As far as we're concerned, bragging rights in Washington D.C. just ain't cutting it nowadays.
Kanye West looks like he’s fully in apology mode -- 'cause we caught him stepping out of a Jewish human rights center ... and yeah, we had questions.
Take a look ... Ye was leaving the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Beverly Hills Monday night after spending about an hour and a half inside... but when we tried to get a word on what went down inside, he clammed up completely.

6:00 AM PT -- We asked Nomiki Konst about the photos and the details of her claim ... she now says, "Over the course of 2 years, I attended over 10 Democratic organizing meetings. I'm not a whistleblower or a Swalwell survivor -- but was simply sharing an anecdote of an event that occurred at one of these many meetings. The event was in a public space with witnesses. After reviewing documents, the event occurred at a DNC meeting in 2017. The point has always been about his recklessness and demanding democratic leadership have better modes of accountability."
The woman who claims Eric Swalwell made her "uncomfortable" at a Democratic National Convention event appears to have her facts mixed up, because we obtained photos showing Swalwell wasn't there. She stands by her story but admits she mixed up the dates.
Here's the deal ... Nomiki Konst last week alleged she and Swalwell had an interaction at a 2018 DNC gathering in Chicago, which ran from August 23 through August 25, that made her "uncomfortable."
Konst, who is Bill de Blasio's ex-girlfriend, went on a podcast and claimed Swalwell brought her a glass of Prosecco and "zoomed" in on her. She also said he became "touchy-feely, touching my hands."
D4vd is getting cozy in a new jail cell -- he was transferred to the L.A. County Men's Central Jail just before 10 PM Monday, TMZ has learned.
The "Romantic Homicide" singer won't be able to make many friends in the clink -- a rep for the L.A. County Sheriff's Office tells us ... D4vd has been placed in segregation because he's a noteworthy inmate, which means he'll be alone with his thoughts most of the day.
