Fans of the classic 1971 film "Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory" can own a piece of the movie as rare as a golden ticket, but it won't come cheap ... or with the chocolate.

RR Auction has an original Wonka Bar prop up for grabs with the vintage wrapper and foil, and even though it's a cardboard insert inside instead of 45-year-old chocolate ... it's still expected to haul in around $4,000.

We're told props from 'Willy Wonka' are very hard to come by because the vast majority were discarded the day after shooting wrapped, but this lucky Wonka Bar survived.

The auction includes a promo photo signed by the film's star, Gene Wilder, who died in August, and several more of the actors ... including 3 who played Oompa Loompas.

The items are available to be bid on online until January 11th.

Olivia d'Abo's been battling her mega music producer ex-husband for 4 years in divorce court, but it seems well worth the wait ... she made out nice when the dust settled.

"The Wonder Years" star's getting $348k in spousal support from Patrick Leonard over the next 4 years, plus another $141k for her cut of the community property and attorney's fees. Pretty solid considering he asked the court to deny her support.

Olivia also gets half of the dough Leonard made on music he produced during their 10-year marriage, which includes Bon Jovi's 2003 album, "This Left Feels Right."

He gets a house, she gets a house and so on -- but the icing on the cake for d'Abo ... the painting gifted by Roger Waters goes to her.

Co-starring with the likes of Billy Bob Thornton and William Hurt is making a 15-year-old kid a ton o' dough ... as in six figures before he can even drive alone.

Britain Dalton is on David E. Kelly's Amazon lawyer drama, "Goliath" ... and according to the kid's contract, he's making $12,500 per episode for the first season of 8 episodes. That's $100k payday for a kid with just a handful of films under his belt.

Under California law, 15% of a child actor's pay goes into a trust until they turn 18. Sooo ... he'll get a nice bonus in December 2019.

Debbie Reynolds' movies are back on top again in the wake of her death ... and numbers don't lie.

Debbie's biggest films have jumped in the ranks on platforms like Amazon and iTunes, with her best known flick, "Singin' in the Rain," sitting pretty at #1 on Amazon's best sellers list as of Thursday.

The same movie was nowhere near that position as of Wednesday night.

Other Debbie movies have climbed the ladder as well -- "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" and a "Tammy and the Bachelor" triple feature pack are both among the top 4 best selling DVDs on Amazon.

Meanwhile, Debbie's films have suddenly been moved to iTunes' New and Noteworthy list since her passing ... even though the movies are at least 20 years old.

Carrie Fisher isn't being left out of the surge either. The film "Postcards from the Edge," based on her memoir about Debbie and Carrie's relationship, has also bumped up in iTunes' charts.

BTW ... a rep from YouTube also tells us any clips with "Singin' in the Rain" have shot up in searches by 1000% between Wednesday and Thursday. Yup, you read that right.

Fetty Wap actually has a favorite stripper ... no really, and that lucky dancer got showered for her birthday.

The "679" rapper rolled 50 deep into Aces strip club just after 1 AM Thursday in NYC ... and we're told the visit served a 2-pronged attack -- to turn up at the joint one last time before New Year's and shower the dancer, Blu, with $10k.

Carrie Fisher's name -- and her Princess Leia mug -- will be worth light years more in death than life.

Mike Gutierrez, who helps run Heritage Auctions, tells TMZ Carrie's death has boosted 'Star Wars' merch sales related to the late actress by as much as 3 times what it was just last week.

Gutierrez says 'Star Wars' merch prices will skyrocket even higher in the next 30 days. The same phenomena occurred when the last actors from "The Wizard of Oz" passed away.

The impact is already apparent. A signed photo of Leia and Luke Skywalker just sold for $1,500 Tuesday ... the day Carrie died. A signed pic of Leia, Han Solo and Luke sold for $156 in '02.

According to eBay ... 1,280 Carrie fisher memorabilia items have been sold since Tuesday ... a huge jump from the couple dozen or so that were selling before her death.

Young Thug got chauffeured around Hollywood like a big shot this summer, but stiffed the limo company like a bum ... according to a new lawsuit.

Hollywood Stars Limousine just filed suit against the Atlanta rapper for allegedly skipping out on a fat bill for rides they say they gave him ... to the tune of $18,676.

In the docs -- obtained by TMZ -- Hollywood Stars claims they drove Young Thug and some of his guests around for a total of 11 times this year -- with 10 of those happening in June.

The company says they gave Thug plenty of time to pay, but claims he told 'em to kick rocks. Now, Hollywood Stars wants a judge to make him pay back their dough in full.

Poker legend Phil Ivey was just ordered to return roughly $10 MILLION in baccarat winnings he pulled from an Atlantic City casino in 2012 ... after a judge ruled the way he played broke the law.

Ivey's alleged strategy is actually quite genius -- it's called "edge-sorting" and it's kind of like card counting in blackjack ... in the sense that it gives the player an advantage over the house.

Here's how it works ... the backs of baccarat cards have patterns on them that are SUPPOSED to be perfectly symmetrical, but they're not. The Borgata casino claims Ivey brought a female guest to the table who was a master at identifying the value of a card based on the pattern and she would tip him off so he could adjust his betting accordingly.

The hotel claims Ivey won more than $9.6 million in 4 visits to the hotel between April and October of 2012 using this technique.

The Borgata took him to court claiming Ivey broke the rules and they wanted their money back.

A judge has now weighed in and claimed Ivey didn't violate game rules -- but DID violate a New Jersey gambling law that's supposed to block players from using strategies like "edge-sorting" to swing the odds in their favor.

Ivey's lawyer told the AP, "What this ruling says is a player is prohibited from combining his skill and intellect and visual acuity to beat the casino at its own game."

Ivey will appeal the ruling.

It's clear Kris Jenner wants to keep Tristan Thompson around -- because she SMOTHERED Khloe's NBA star boyfriend in expensive Christmas gifts ... and he was all about it!

8:41 AM PT -- A rep for Versace tells TMZ the company strongly believes in equal opportunity as an employer and a retailer. They add ... "We do not tolerate discrimination on the basis of race, national origin or any other characteristic protected by our civil rights laws." Versace denies the allegations in the suit.

Versace secretly alerts staffers when an African-American person enters the store ... according to an ex-employee who claims the company also dissed his fashion sense and then canned him.

The man worked in a Bay Area store, and in a lawsuit says a manager told him about a store code called "D410," which was used to casually let co-workers know a black person was present -- as in, we got a D410 in menswear.

BTW ... that's the code for all black shirts in Versace stores ... according to the suit.

The employee says he shocked the manager by responding, "You know that I'm African-American?"

He says after that revelation they refused to give him rest breaks, and fired him after just 2 weeks. In the suit, he says he was told he was canned because he hadn't "lived the luxury life."

Translation: you got no swag, son.

Gretchen Rossi may have to lawyer up somewhere else after she stiffed a law firm for hundreds of thousands of dollars ... according to a new lawsuit.

Brown & Charbonneau, LLP -- a SoCal business and family firm -- just filed suit against the ex-'Real Housewives of Orange County' star, claiming she left 'em hanging with an invoice of about $285,000 in late 2013 ... and then another for $16,000 a few months later.

Gretchen's camp tells us she hired B&C to work on a harassment case and plans to pay her unpaid balance once she collects in an unrelated legal matter. She chalks it up to a "misunderstanding."

Young Thug and 21 Savage can't help themselves -- when beauties come twerking so does a bunch of cash!!

The rappers attended something called The Ultimate Twerk Off at Club Crucial in ATL ... where a bunch of chicks went hard in front of the rappers, and that prompted a bag of cash to make an appearance.

Check it out ... YT and 21 also spread the wealth to a bunch of clubgoers ... which for some odd reason were treated to what looks like an amateur boxing match.

All in all, Young Thug tossed around $20k and Savage unloaded $10k.

Meek Mill's about to haul it in for headlining a New Year's Eve party in Miami ... and the amount of 0s on his paycheck is right up there with some of rap's biggest acts.

Sources close to Meek tell us ... he's getting $200k to perform at Dream Nightclub in South Beach, plus $20k to partially cover expenses. Not too shabby for a guy whose career seems to be on a never-ending roller coaster.

We're told Meek will also be lubricated with spirits -- 10 bottles of Ace of Spades, 5 bottles of Moet Nectar Rosé and some Hennessy and tequila to boot.

Varsity Lifestyle Group is throwing the bash, and tickets to ring in the new year with the rapper are $60 for chicks, $109 for dudes, with VIP packages ranging from around $4k to $10k. It's scheduled to rage 'til 5 AM.

Mike Posner's ditching his L.A. bachelor pad, and based on the asking price the rest of the country is saying, WTF?!!

The "I Took a Pill In Ibiza" crooner's home is in escrow for around the $1.375 million asking price. Posner initially put the 4 bedroom, 3 bath place on the market in September for $1.425 mil.

There's a huge private deck connecting the main house with the back guest house, where we think Posner wrote some of his songs.

He's been living there since 2013, when he bought it for a little over a million bucks, so he'll walk away with a nice profit.

Odell Beckham Jr. is throwing more shade at the NFL -- claiming the league fined him $18,000 for rocking special Craig Sager tribute cleats against the Lions this weekend.

OBJ revealed the fine on DeSean Jackson's Instagram page -- after the Redskins star complained about being fined for wearing special edition cleats on Monday Night Football.

Beckham commented on the post saying, "Don't worry I got fined 18k for Craig Sager cleats that were auction off the cleats to the highest bidder and donating the proceeds to his cancer research."

He added, "18k like it's nothin to them, no warning to take them off or anything , noTHING!"

To be clear, Odell was personally auctioning off the cleats to benefit the Sager Strong foundation.

It's the second time Beckham has gone public with a gripe against the league this week -- grousing about how Ezekiel Elliott somehow didn't get fined for jumping in the Salvation Army kettle and insinuating that he would have been targeted if it was him.

'Tis the season!

Antonio Brown was feeling extra saucy Tuesday night -- and decided to spend some of his hard earned cash ... on the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh!

The Steelers superstar cut a $100,000 check to the hospital -- and showed it off on social media ... hopefully inspiring other people to give as well.

Brown has a great relationship with the hospital -- in fact, he hosted a softball game to raise money for the place earlier this year.
