Denzel Washington Moustache Meme Trolls Are LOSERS!
Y'know those Denzel Washington memes about his moustache that you've been laughing about -- well, Denzel ain't laughing. At all. In fact, he's got some strong words for the Internet.
For the first time, Denzel talked about all those images that popped up after he went to the Pacquiao-Mayweather fight sporting a Yosemite Sam handlebar moustache. The Internet had a field day (seriously, Google it) ... but when entertainment host Xilla brought it up, Denzel got gangsta.
Check out the clip -- Xilla simply asked what he thought about the memes, and DW said, "If I had my wallet I'd show you." It gets worse after that.
Btw, the real reason for the facial hair -- Denzel was filming 'Magnificent Seven' at the time with director Antoine Fuqua ... who's sitting next to him in this clip.
"King Kong ain't got nuthin' on me" ... definitely comes to mind here.

'E.T.' Original Movie Poster Art Going for SIX Figures!
The art that became the iconic poster for "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is hittin' the auction block, and it ain't gonna be cheap ... as in you'll have to trade in a car -- or 2 or 3 -- just to make a bid.
Heritage Auctions is selling the original art piece, which was painted by famed artist John Alvin -- who's also done art for "Star Wars," "The Goonies," "Blazing Saddles" and a bunch of other hit movies. We're told it should rake in $150,000 ... at the bare minimum.
At first, the piece belonged to Hollywood producer Bob Bendetson, who got it directly from Universal Studios years ago. It was hanging in his office for years, but now that his wife's turning that into a guest room -- he's ditching 'E.T.'
The artwork goes on the block October 12th. If you're on a budget, there's always the knockoff poster.

Mickey Rourke H'wood Tried to Hex Mel Gibson But He's Got Too Much ...
It was just a matter of time before Mel Gibson got to shove it in Hollywood's collective face ... according to Mickey Rourke.
Mickey was leaving Prime Cutts in L.A. (a carnivore's delight, btw) when we asked him about Mel getting a standing O for "Hacksaw Ridge" ... the new military flick he directed.
Rourke was not at all shocked, and says Gibson's just joining a list of talented guys Hollywood tried like hell to crush, but ultimately had to welcome back to the fold for one reason.
Check out Mickey's take, and also the trailer -- which is really interesting because Mel didn't put his own name in it. He's clearly aware he's made enemies.

'Grease' Conspiracy Rumor Killed Sandy Was Alive, Creator Says
Sorry "Grease" fans ... Sandy didn't die while Danny tried saving her and the whole film ISN'T her vivid coma fantasy ... according to one of the creators.
Jim Jacobs, who wrote the original book and musical with Warren Casey, is shooting down the conspiracy Sandy was dead during the whole film. He tells TMZ whoever made up the theory must have been on acid.
A theory's been flying around that Danny hadn't been able to save Sandy after someone linked the "Summer Nights" lyrics, "I saved her life she nearly drowned," with the final scene in the movie where the two take off in a flying car.
Jacobs says, although there are differences between the book and the movie, one thing is certain ... Sandy was very much alive and the real phenomenon is that "Grease" is still popular over 40 years later.

UFC's Roy Nelson Van Damme Coulda Fought UFC ... Dude's Legit
Jean-Claude Van Damme doesn't just talk the talk when it comes to MMA fighting -- he's a REAL athlete who coulda competed in the UFC back in his prime ... so says Roy "Big Country" Nelson.
Roy isn't just an accomplished UFC fighter in his own right -- but spent some quality time with JCVD on the set of the upcoming "Kickboxer: Vengeance" flick.
And with Van Damme recently lecturing UFC fighters about how weak their leg strikes have become -- we had to ask Roy if he thinks JC could back up his tough talk.
For the record, Van Damme is an accomplished martial artist -- who won several fights as a teenager before becoming an action star.
There's more ... we also asked Roy how he'd fare in a showdown with Hafthor Bjornsson -- the MASSIVE guy who plays The Mountain on "Game of Thrones."
The 400-pound Bjornsson famously had a sparring session against Conor McGregor -- but Nelson says he'd get CRUSHED against someone his own size.

Anthony will get to keep a bunch of cars and all his sports memorabilia now that the ink is dry on his divorce from "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" star, Gia Carides ... according to legal docs obtained by TMZ.
There was no prenup, so Anthony and Gia will pretty much split everything down the middle ... including royalties for their big hits while they were married ... standard stuff in CA.
Anthony keeps 2 Mercedes-Benz cars, a 2012 Ford truck and 7 motorcycles, including 3 Ducatis. Plus ... a Steinway baby grand piano.
Gia gets a one-time $12k check, plus $2,234 a month in spousal support. As for child support, she gets $870 a month, which is dirt cheap for Hollywood folks. But there's a kicker ... Anthony's gotta tack on another 10% of any money he brings in over $182k.
