The prop gun that Harrison Ford used in his role of Han Solo in the 1977 film Star Wars sold for over $1 million at an auction last week.
The iconic 'blaster,' a converted Mauser pistol modified to only shoot blanks, is the last of three created for use in the film.
According to the Rock Island Auction company that hosted the event, the DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol was expected to secure a bid of around $500,000. Still, an avid fan exceeded their projections at $1,057,000 to win.
Ford, who brought the character Han Solo to life in the now titled Star Wars: Episode IV- A New Hope, wielded the prop throughout the entire film.

The pop duo Milli Vanilli was a sensation for a hot minute in the 80's till the world learned their secret. They weren't actually singing at all. Rather lip syncing to other artists.
They were shamed by everyone and forced to return their Grammy. And then essentially chased into hiding.
Now a film about their crazy experience is being produced and we've got the first look at the two playing the infamous pair.
Lead actors Tijan Njie and Elan Ben Ali appear in the new photo as Robert Pilatus...
Beck was about the funkiest thing on the radio for few months back in 1996 when his album Odelay came out. The smash hit 'Where it's at" was played like twice an hour on most radio stations.
Now we get to see how he spent some of those riches. The Scientologist and his former wife Marissa are selling the Hollywood Hills home they've had since 2014. In the celebrity world, that's a long time to live in a house.
It's a quaint 2,364 sq feet but it's located in what the listing calls "The...
We all know the drill. Once a girl (and I stress 'Girl') hits her mid 20's she's too old for middle aged Leo Di Caprio.
25 year old Camilla Morrone is an actress and model, that's another "type" Leo only dates, had been dating Leo since she was 21, but the pair actually met when she was 12.
Ok, hold up, the didn't start dating when she was 12. I don't think even Leo would go that young. But Camilla's mother was once married to Al Pacino and back when she was about 12 years old, Al introduced...
Back in the 80's Michael Fishman was just 6 years old when he joined the cast of "Rosanne" as the witless son of Dan and Rosanne Conner, DJ. Aka Dan Jr..
He spent 10 seasons on the show before it was canceled.
Then in 2018 he returned to roll of DJ Conner in the controversial spin off "The Conner". Now its learned he wont be returning for season 5 after 14 years of playing the roll.
The first hint that something was amiss was last week when ABC unveiled the season five poster, w...

September is going to be a megathon of good TV. Seriously. "House of Hammer" on Sept 2nd is all about Armie Hammer and his family and how depraved the hella-wealthy can be. Then Amazon answers HBO's GOT with their own series, Lord of the Rings.
Rick and Morty are back, finally, and Bravo has yet another show about vapid over primped women called "Real Girlfriends of Paris" and we can't wait.

That's not click bait. This is one of the most amazing videos dropped by a celebrity in years and it was all done intentionally. No leaks here.
Britney starts the video by saying the information she's giving us has zero benefit to her.
“I get nothing out of sharing all of this,” She said. “I have offers to do interviews with Oprah and so many people [for] lots and lots of money, but it’s insane. I don’t want any of it. For me, it’s beyond a sit-down proper interview.”

She was barrier breaking actress when she joined the cast of Star Trek. Now Nichelle Nichols will be part of an upcoming mission to space. Not unlike some of her previous cast mates.
Nichols died in July at 89, but memorial spaceflight company Celestis Inc. will launch a portion of her cremated ashes and a sample of her DNA about 90 to 190 million miles into space on its appropriately named Enterprise Flight, the company announced Thursday. The rocket named Vulcan is curren...
Close like brothers, but always at war. The once in a lifetime songwriting team of John Lennon and Paul McCartney was often filled with anger and regret.
In the 1970's John wrote Paul an exceptionally nasty letter and it recently went to auction.
Dylan Kosinski, a rep for Gottahaverockandroll Auction House, told TMZ the Lennon letter sold on Saturday for a total of $70K.
John's frustration with Paul is clear from the jump ... telling Paul he's ungrateful for all the money he's get...
