Zak Bagans is conjuring up a frightening movie prop to add to his Haunted Museum ... a demon from "The Conjuring 2" horror film.

The "Ghost Adventures" star tells TMZ ... he just got his hands on the original demon prop used in filming for the sequel, designed by 'TC2' director James Wan and special makeup effects designer Justin Raleigh.

Zak says Wan considers this animatronic suit the best demon he's ever used.

Mike Rowe's drumming up support for his new movie "Something to Stand For," urging Americans to rally around at least one thing -- feeling grateful for one great moment in our history.

We caught up with Mike on "TMZ Live" ... and he revealed the inspiration for his doc/movie came from witnessing how deeply divided Americans are during this election year.

He tells us he's hoping people can come together, especially on the 4th of July, to cut the country some slack and celebrate its progress.

American actress Madison Riley was 20 years old when she was cast as Jasmine Hilliard -- Rob's hot daughter who provides eye candy during a 4th of July reunion for her Dad's middle school buddies -- in Adam Sandler's comedy film "Grown Ups" back in 2010.

Joining Madison at the lake included Rob Schneider as Jasmine's Dad with several failed marriages, Rob Hilliard, Kevin James who loves Kentucky Fried Chicken and his family, Eric, David Spade as being the cool kid turned poor Bachelor, Marcus and Chris Rock as the stay-at-home Dad, Kurt.

And, of course ... Adam Sandler played the rich Hollywood agent with the hot wife, Lenny.

Other worthy cast mentions include Salma Hayek and Maya Rudolph.

Danny Trejo's saying farewell to his beloved Chihuahua Dixie ... a mini-yet-mighty dog that certainly made fans laugh, but Danny tells TMZ she also struck fear into the hearts of his other pets.

Dixie died this week at 16, and Danny's obviously heartbroken -- but he told us he's also full of joy for the smiles and laughs the tough-as-nails pooch provided by scaring the hell out of his pit bulls and Rottweilers. As he puts it, Dixie ran his house!

DT says fans used to be baffled when they saw him with Dixie ... most assuming he would be holding back two massive, brutish K-9s, but Dixie was his baby and always slept with Dad.

Vanessa Hudgens is giving a special shoutout to her man, Cole Tucker, on his 28th birthday ... taking to Instagram to shower her husband with all the love.

"Happy birthday to my slice of heaven @cotuck 🥳," the actress said to the Los Angeles Angels organization's third basemen on Wednesday. "You make the world a brighter place just by being you, ♥️🤟🏽"

As we previously reported, the two lovebirds got married back in December 2023 ... after Tucker popped the question to the actress earlier that year.

The 35-year-old actress and the ball player have been inseparable since they started dating back in 2020 ... and Hudgens -- who is pregnant with their first child -- has made plenty of appearances at Tucker's games to show her support.

Unfortunately for Tucker, he was recently placed on the temporarily inactive list. The reason for this move by the Salt Lake Bees -- the Angels' Triple-A affiliate -- is not known at this time.

It has been an up-and-down season for the utility player. He started spring training with the Seattle Mariners as a non-roster invite before being assigned to their Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainers.

A month later, he was released and picked up by the Angels. He saw some big-league action in late April, but the squad designated him for assignment -- then sent him back to the Bees.

No word on how the happy couple plans to celebrate the day ... but we imagine they will be spending some quality time together.

Lindsay Lohan just turned 38 and she couldn't be happier.

In the caption, Lindsay wrote, “Another trip around the sun 🎂🥳🎉😘🙏 grateful for every moment and cherishing every second of everyday and all of the beautiful things life has to offer. Feeling blessed. Thank you for all of the lovely birthday wishes ☺️.”

A full-circle moment is unfolding on James Gunn's 'Superman' set -- Will Reeve, son of the iconic Christopher Reeve, is flying into the DC Universe with a cameo in Gunn's film.

As you know, Christopher donned the red cape for the 70s and 80s 'Superman' movies ... and, undoubtedly, he would've been thrilled to see these heartwarming pics on X of his youngest son hugging Gunn on set in Cleveland, Ohio, carrying on his legacy.

Unclear what Will's role is exactly, but as you can see, he's dressed to the nines in a slick Clark Kent-style suit while dapping up Gunn, and then giving him a hug -- all while others on set clap, so looks like he had just wrapped filming his scenes.

Suki Waterhouse is opening up about her split with Bradley Cooper back in the day ... she says their breakup was dark, difficult, isolating and disorienting.

Michael Rooker says folks are sleeping on Kevin Costner's new movie saga ... telling us the film is a throwback to classic Hollywood and a departure from the "crap" TikTok generation.

We got Michael, who stars in Kevin's new epic "Horizon: An American Saga -- Chapter 1," at LAX and our photog asked him about the film's poor box office opening.

Michael thinks one of the reasons Kevin's movie only grossed $11 million last weekend is because folks nowadays are used to short social media clips and 90-minute movies ... not real, quality films with deep characters and rich storylines.

Jamie Foxx has shed more light on the sequence of events leading up to the mysterious ailment that landed him in an ATL hospital last year -- this in a resurfaced clip doing the rounds online.

It's unclear exactly when the video was taken ... but as you can see, Jamie tells a group of Phoenix, Arizona, restaurant-goers, "Look, April 11 last year, bad headache, asked my boy for an Advil ... I was gone for 20 days."

The crowd around him gasped in shock as Jamie revealed he had no recollection of anything during his 20-day hospital stay.

Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet's romance is still a thing -- or so it seems -- after several months out of the spotlight, they're back together for date night!

The couple, who first linked up last year, proved they're still together by enjoying a rare movie night out in Hollywood, stopping by the TCL Chinese Theatre over the weekend ... and, at least, attempting to keep a low profile.

The Kylie Cosmetics founder and actor were both dressed casually, wearing baseball caps and face masks.
