Turns out ex-Batman Adam West has very abstract interpretations of his old archenemies ... and he could bring in more than $70k for 'em.

88-year-old Adam's taken up painting and his "Criminals on Canvas" exhibit is opening at the Gilman Contemporary studio this week in Ketchum, Idaho.

It includes 11 canvases, some depicting classic Batman characters -- Alfred, the Penguin and Riddler -- and not so classic ... Batdog. The standout piece has gotta be the "Joker Evening Makeup," which will set someone back $7,000. Total cost for all the pieces would top 70 grand.

Alan Thicke's TV family joined his real-life family to honor him Sunday night -- and it looked like a full reunion of "Growing Pains."

Kirk Cameron, Joanna Kerns, Tracey Gold, Jeremy Miller ... even Leo DiCaprio ... all showed up for the memorial service. Many of Alan's Hollywood pals who were not co-stars, like Bob Saget and Alex Trebek, also attended.

Alex spoke about how Alan gave him his first shot in Hollywood on a game show.

His sons Robin, Brennan, and Carter Thicke were also there with their families. Alan died last week from a massive heart attack while playing hockey with Carter.

Zsa Zsa Gabor, the Hungarian beauty who some called the OG Kim Kardashian, is dead just shy of 100 years old ... TMZ has learned.

We've learned Gabor died Sunday after suffering a heart attack. She was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Zsa Zsa endured a number of health problems in the last several years. Her right leg had to be partially amputated in 2011 after it got infected. Her husband, Frederic Prinz Von Anhalt, held birthday parties for Gabor the last few years, but she was so sick visitors were not allowed in her bedroom.

Zsa Zsa and her younger sister, Eva, were socialites in Beverly Hills for decades. Zsa Zsa had nearly 80 tv and film acting credits, but most often she played herself.

She was married to Conrad Hilton, Paris Hilton's great grandfather, from 1942-1947.

Billy Bush is a man of no words, but don't let that fool you ... he's ready for reentry.

Our photog got Billy coming out of Spago in Bev Hills Thursday, and on the surface it looks like he's not playing ball. But think about it ... he's at one of the 10 restaurants where everyone knows there are photogs, and just last Friday he went to Catch, which has the most paparazzi per square foot in L.A.

And there's more ... Billy's in a suit and it looks like some sort of a business lunch.

See you soon, Billy.

"Flip or Flop" stars Tarek and Christina El Moussa won't win an Oscar for faking affection, because a Starbucks outing that ends with a hug is as transparent as it gets.

The former couple were in Newport Beach Thursday, near where Tarek now lives, and walked awkwardly together into the java hut.

It's the goodbye that you gotta see. So staged.

As we reported, Tarek and Christina want to continue shooting their show, despite their breakup -- thus the photo op.

They gotta do better than this.

Morena Baccarin says her ex-husband's fear of their kid catching Zika in Brazil is a bogus claim made simply to spite her ... and she just won a court battle over the trip.

In a hearing Thursday, the court found Morena's ex, Austin Chick, waited too long to object to their 3-year-old son flying south of the border to visit his dying great grandmother.

His lawyers were demanding the "Gotham" star get their custody agreement authorized in Brazil to make sure he'd get custody if something happened to Morena during the trip. Morena's team, led by lawyer Samantha Spector, says they tried to resolve that issue, but Austin's camp went radio silent for weeks.

The judge ruled there was no reason to block Morena's trip. She told the court she'd hire top-notch security in Brazil and hunker down in her hotel for extra safety.

Beloved sportscaster Craig Sager has died after a long battle with a form of leukemia.

Turner Sports announced his passing on Thursday. He was diagnosed back in 2014, but continued working for TNT and TBS, covering NBA and MLB games through this past summer ... including a game of the NBA Finals.

He worked for Turner for more than 30 years.

Craig was one of the most popular sports reporters with fans and the superstar athletes he covered -- who loved to playfully mock his fashion sense. Craig was famous for his bold and colorful wardrobe choices on the sidelines.

Whoopi Goldberg's soaring high in the entertainment world now, but the view -- much less the smell -- wasn't always rosy.

We got Whoopi in NYC where our fearless photog asked her about the worst job she's ever had.

"Sons of Anarchy" star Charlie Hunnam is pretty sure his character is dead, but he's not ruling out a cameo in the new spinoff.

We got the former biker hunk in Runyon Canyon Wednesday where he told us ... as far as he knows ... Jax Teller went face first into an oncoming semi and he ain't coming back. But if producers want to somehow use him in their new show about a rival gang ... he'll hear 'em out.

As far as his noticeable absence from social media ... Charlie tells us he dodges it for a very specific reason.

5:50 AM -- Robin Thicke posted on Instagram about his father's passing.

TV icon Alan Thicke has died ... TMZ has learned.

We're told Alan had a heart attack while he was playing hockey with his 19-year-old son, Carter. He was transported to Providence St. Joseph's Medical Center around noon Tuesday, and pronounced dead there.

Law enforcement sources tell us ... a company that recovers organs was contacted, so some of Thicke's organs could be donated.

He's survived by his 3 sons -- Robin, Brennan and Carter ... and his wife, Tanya.

Alan played hockey regularly at a rink in Burbank. We're told he and Carter were on the ice around 11 AM when he started having chest pain, then got nauseous and vomited. The ambulance picked him up around 11:30 and took him to the hospital.

The Canadian born actor was most famous for his role as Jason Seaver, the dad on the '80s sitcom, "Growing Pains." Most recently, he was on the Netflix reboot, "Fuller House" ... and also had a cameo on the first episode of "This Is Us."

Alan also hosted game shows, talk shows, and wrote several famous TV show theme songs for "Diff'rent Strokes," "Wheel of Fortune" as well as "The Facts of Life."

He was 69.

Check out the Christmas gift that's a guaranteed SMASH hit -- if you let FOX 11's Lisa Breckenridge drive it, anyway.

The KTTV anchor was part of a "Good Day L.A." segment Tuesday about the hottest gift ideas for the season, and she just couldn't resist hopping on a scooter that goes up to 25 mph.

Looks like she got up to at least 20 mph before trashing some pricey studio equipment -- and possibly her face -- on live TV.

Actually, Lisa looked okay in the back of an ambulance afterward. All's well that ends with a hot firefighter, right?

Ron Howard might be a pioneer in film and TV ... but he says there's no way he'd want to be one in space.

We got the famous director at LAX, where he told us while he loved making his newest National Geographic mini-series, "Mars," he'd pass on trying to actually terraform the planet ... even if the idea is pretty cool.

Chrissy Metz might've just been nominated for her first Golden Globe, but she probably shouldn't quit her day job ... according to her driver.

We got the star from the new hit TV show "This Is Us" out in Bev Hills Monday, and she told us the guy who dropped her off wasn't all that impressed when she read him a line.

Doesn't sound like the dude knew who he was talking to. Spoiler alert: Chrissy's incredibly talented, and drivers are usually good for one thing ... and it ain't critiquing.

William H. Macy is adamant Emmy Rossum deserves everything she's asking for ... in fact, he says it's about f****** time.

We caught up with the "Shameless" star Monday at The Grove where we ask him about Emmy's contract dispute demanding equal pay. Check it out ... William gives our photog a history lesson on the Equal Rights Amendment.

Pretty damn clear Frank's pulling for Fiona ... maybe except in the looks department.

"Flip or Flop" stars Tarek and Christina El Moussa portray the chipper, nearly perfect all-American couple on TV but we've learned they're now separated ...after a scary incident involving guns and a feared suicide attempt.

Their ordeal started, at least publicly, in May when deputies responded to "a call of a possibly suicidal male with a gun" at the couple's Orange County home. According to law enforcement, a massive presence showed up -- 11 deputies and a helicopter.

Witnesses told cops they saw Tarek grab a gun from his safe, run out the back door and flee down a hiking trail. Shortly after, Christina was seen running out of the house crying and shaking.

Within minutes, the helicopter spotted Tarek on a trail and deputies told him to drop his weapon. Tarek complied and told deputies he had no intention of hurting himself. He said he wanted to "blow off some steam," and only brought the gun for mountain lions and rattlesnakes.

Deputies went back to the house and ended up seizing 5 guns, including an AR-15.

Christina and Tarek tell us they decided to separate while they reevaluate their marriage. As far as the incident goes ... they'll only say it was an "unfortunate misunderstanding."

They add ... they're committed to co-parenting, and ... "will continue to work through this process civilly and cooperatively, and plan to continue our professional life together."

Troian Bellisario's wedding day looked more like a day at summer camp, because she opted for a rustic, totally non-Hollywood, cool setting.

Spencer from "Pretty Little Liars" married Patrick Adams -- from the TV show, "Suits" -- on Rancho Dos Pueblos, outside Santa Barbara. The outdoor wedding was in a wooded park along the beach and featured not a single limo.

The groom and guests -- including Ashley Benson and Lucy Hale -- arrived on a giant white school bus. They did some things traditionally ... Troian's dad, legendary TV producer Donald Belissario, walked her down the aisle.

Troian being down with this kinda chill ceremony earns her instant "Cool Chick" status. Mazel!
