MARVEL ACTRESS CARRIE BERNANS Hit by Car During NYE Celebration ... Sustains Horrific Injuries

Marvel actress Carrie Bernans was hit by a car while celebrating New Year's Eve in NYC ... and graphic images show the gruesome extent of her injuries.

Carrie is hospitalized and you can see her bloodied and hooked up to machines in photos her mom Patricia posted on Monday. She says Carrie had been walking with a friend when they stopped at food truck, and a car careened into it ... knocking Carrie unconscious and pinning her underneath.

Carrie, who was in "Black Panther" and "Avengers: Endgame," suffered broken bones and fractures. You can see her mouth is bloodied, she's chipped several teeth and sustained several cuts on her face.

The crash on West 34th Street and 9th Avenue was so serious, it was declared a mass casualty incident -- with 3 NYPD officers among 9 others who also were injured.

The cops were called to the scene around 1:40 AM Monday, and the driver -- a 44-year-old man -- is now in custody at Bellevue Hospital.

It's believed the police were chasing the car before the crash.

Despite the traumatic crash, Carrie's mother says her daughter is healing and holding onto an immense sense of gratitude for life itself -- and asking everyone to keep her in their thoughts and prayers.

BIKER BRAWL
TMZ.com

TMZ has obtained more video showing the aftermath of Ian's terrifying New Year's Eve attack in the middle of Hollywood Boulevard, where the "Beverly Hills, 90210" star went toe to toe with the group of bikers, duking it out with them.

Check out the new footage ... the helmeted gang of assailants is mostly sitting on their choppers in the street, blocking traffic. Their leader, wearing a blue shirt and a head mask, lumbers across the road, pointing at the bikers and barking orders. The large man then climbs onto his own bike and takes off with his underlings.

In the midst of this, Ian runs across the boulevard to his 10-year-old daughter, Penna, who is clearly upset and crying. Like a doting dad, Ian wraps his arms around the girl and kisses her on her head, asking her if she's okay. Beside the shock of it all, Ian and Mia seem physically fine.

Police are now investigating the crazy brawl after an official report was filed with Ian's name listed as the victim.

TMZ broke the story with a video that captured the frightening ordeal. In the clip, the bikers are riding past Ian's car, possibly clipping it and sparking the confrontation. Ian exchanges punches with one of the bikers before he gets jumped by the other assailants. The whole thing turns into an all-out fight, and not a single bystander jumps in to help Ian.

By the way ... no one's been arrested yet. Stay tuned, though.

'Mean Streets' Star Richard Romanus Dead at 80

Richard Romanus -- famous from his memorable role in "Mean Streets" -- has died.

The actor's son, Robert, broke the sad news this weekend, telling THR his father had passed away Dec. 23 at a private hospital in Volos, Greece. The exact circumstances of his death remain unclear, and an official cause has yet to be announced.

Romanus hadn't acted in much since the early 2000s, with his last credited role being in Disney's "The Young Black Stallion" from 2003. Still, his career was noteworthy ... especially his turn as the villain in one of Scorsese's first films.

Of course, he played Michael the loan shark in 'MS' ... his character grows impatient with Robert De Niro's Johnny Boy after constantly ducking/dodging him on a fat debt owed.

Fans might also remember him for playing Richard La Penna in a few episodes of "The Sopranos" ... not to mention roles in other big shows like "Tenspeed and Brown Shoe," "Foul Play," "Strike Force," "Hill Street Blues," "The A-Team," "Cagney & Lacey," "Johnny Bago" and more.

Outside of "Mean Streets," Romanus' movie credits include ... "Wizards," "Sitting Ducks," "Heavy Metal," "Pandemonium," "Strangers Kiss," "Protocol," "Murphy's Law," "Oscar" and many others.

He's survived by his son, his wife and his famous younger brother, Robert. Romanus was 80.

RIP

Timothée Chalamet 'Wonka' Back at #1 to End the Year ... Box Office Boom in '23!!!

Timothée Chalamet is entering 2024 as king of the box office -- marking the end of what's been been a pretty damn good year in terms of ticket sales at the movies. Go figure!

The actor's latest offering, "Wonka," returned to #1 this weekend -- this after claiming the same spot two weeks ago when it first debuted and slipping to #2 last week after the release of 'Aquaman 2,' which technically came in first ... but still underperformed by a lot.

Those woes continued this week, with 'A2' slipping to second and Timmy's film retaking its position as top dog to end 2023 -- raking in about $24 mil through Sunday ... and bringing its total domestic haul to about $142 mil, and its worldwide gross to a whopping $387 mil.

Considering this thing only cost about $100 mil to make, that's a helluva good return. And considering WB has 3 films in the top 5 slots this weekend, we're sure they're happy too.

If you're wondering what 2023 has been like, generally, at the box office well ... movie fans might be in for a pleasant surprise -- 'cause as it turns out, theaters cleaned up quite a bit.

This year saw a domestic box office gross of over $9 billion -- which is actually great compared to recent years post-pandemic ('21's $4.3B & '22's $7.3B). Now, it does pale in comparison to what theaters used to bring in -- see 2019's domestic haul of $11.4B -- but still solid all things considered, and presumably an encouraging sign that theaters ain't dead!

Of course, there's a select few films we have to thank for this result ... especially "Barbie," which was the highest-earning movie this year by a long shot. Other honorable mentions go to 'Super Mario Bros.,' "Oppenheimer," 'Across the Spider-Verse,' and some Disney additions.

As far as superhero movies, though ... those, by and large, turned out to be major stinkers.

So what have we learned about getting asses in seats going forward? Big IPs are winners, and so are splashy biopics. Now, it seems like folks might be tired of seeing capes and tights, though ... so less of that and newer (familiar) wells of content might be the ticket.

Here's to more popcorn in the new year. 🍿

Timothée Chalamet 'Wonka' vuleve al número 1 al final del año... Boom de taquilla en 2023!!!

Timothée Chalamet está entrando al 2024 como el rey de la taquilla, marcando el fin de un año bastante bueno en términos de venta de entradas en el cine. Y no es para menos...

Su última película "Wonka" volvió al número 1 este fin de semana, después de ocupar el mismo lugar hace dos semanas cuando se estrenó en cines y de caer al número 2 la semana siguiente tras el estreno de "Aquaman 2", que técnicamente quedó en primer lugar... pero aun así tuvo un rendimiento muy inferior al esperado.

Los problemas continuaron esta semana y "Aquaman 2" cayó al segundo puesto, lo que le permitió a Timmy retomar su posición de liderazgo de fin de año, recaudando unos 24 millones de dólares hasta el domingo y elevando su recaudación nacional a unos 142 millones de dólares. A nivel mundial, la suma es de 387 millones de dólares.

Teniendo en cuenta que solo costó unos 100 millones de dólares hacerla, es un buen rendimiento. Y teniendo en cuenta que Warner Bros tiene 3 películas en los 5 primeros puestos este fin de semana, estamos seguros de que también están contentos.

Si se están preguntando cómo fue el 2023 en general, pues fue muy bueno.

Este año la taquilla nacional recaudó más de 9.000 millones de dólares, una cifra excelente en comparación con los años posteriores a la pandemia ($4.300 millones en el 21 y $7.300 millones en el 22). Ahora bien, palidece en comparación con lo que los cines solían recaudar (véase la recaudación nacional de 2019 de 11.400 millones de dólares), pero sigue siendo sólida en general y una señal alentadora de que los cines no están muertos.

Por supuesto, hay unas pocas películas a las que tenemos que dar las gracias por este resultado, especialmente a "Barbie", que fue la película más taquillera de este año con mucha diferencia. Otras menciones honoríficas son para "Super Mario Bros", "Oppenheimer", "Across the Spider-Verse" y algunas adiciones de Disney.

En cuanto a las películas de superhéroes, sin embargo, en general estas resultaron ser un fracaso importante.

Entonces, ¿qué hemos aprendido del éxito de este año para el futuro? Las grandes películas son las ganadoras, al igual que las biopics. Sin embargo, parece que la gente está cansada de ver capas y mallas... así que menos de eso y más contenido nuevo (familiar) podría ser.

Salud por más palomitas en el nuevo año. 🍿

Richard Romanus protagonista de "Mean Streets" muere a los 80 años

Richard Romanus -famoso por su memorable papel en "Mean Streets"- ha muerto.

El hijo del actor, Robert, dio la triste noticia este fin de semana, diciendole a THR que su padre había fallecido el 23 de diciembre en un hospital privado de Volos, Grecia. Las circunstancias exactas de su muerte aún no están claras y una causa oficial aún no ha sido anunciada.

Romanus no había actuado mucho desde principios de la década de 2000. Su último papel acreditado fue en la película de Disney "The Young Black Stallion" de 2003. Aun así, su carrera fue notable, especialmente su papel de villano en una de las primeras películas de Scorsese.

Por supuesto, interpretó a Michael, el usurero, en "Mean Streets". Su personaje se impacienta con el Johnny Boy de Robert De Niro después de eludirle constantemente el pago de una cuantiosa deuda.

Los fans también podrían recordarlo por interpretar a Richard La Penna en algunos episodios de "Los Soprano", por no mencionar papeles en otras grandes series como "Tenspeed and Brown Shoe", "Foul Play", "Strike Force", "Hill Street Blues", "The A-Team", "Cagney & Lacey", "Johnny Bago" y más.

Aparte de "Mean Streets", los créditos cinematográficos de Romanus incluyen, "Wizards", "Sitting Ducks", "Heavy Metal", "Pandemonium", "Strangers Kiss", "Protocol", "Murphy's Law", "Oscar" y muchas otras.

Le sobreviven su hijo, su esposa y su famoso hermano menor, Robert. Romanus tenía 80 años.

RIP

Celebrity Scramble Guess Who!

Underneath this spectacular snowflake is someone who's been singing and acting since the early 2000s. His holiday season started off with a bang as he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

Yes, he's got great hair, but one might say he uses "hairspray" to maintain his look. And if you're in the market for a "New Year's Eve Date," this handsome fella is avail! Perhaps the only dude giving his rockin' bod a run for its money is his younger bro! Keep watch for this bae!

"You are the music in me!"

Can you guess who he is?

Pierce Brosnan Mammoth Terraces Pic Resurfaces ... After Yellowstone Citations

James Bond has pissed off Uncle Sam in Big Sky Country -- allegedly trespassing into an area of Yellowstone National Park that was off-limits ... and the proof might be in this pic.

You might have heard about Pierce Brosnan getting dinged this past week with two federal citations accusing him of going off-trail near the Mammoth Hot Springs and venturing into a restricted thermal area ... all while violating closures, per court docs filed in Wyoming.

There wasn't much detail in the filings, other than to claim he waded a little too deep in the Mammoth Terraces by foot on Nov. 1. Now, he has to appear in court there by late Jan.

No word on how exactly the feds might know Pierce might've (allegedly) been at this specific location they're accusing him of being at -- but the clues might be on social media, including his own IG ... where he was documenting his Montana trip in early November.

There's also a photo that was posted to a popular aggregation page right around the same time that purportedly shows PB standing in the exact area park rangers say he was in. The IG page is called TouronsOfYellowstone (tourist/morons) and they highlight people screwing up while navigating the park. Here, you see a man standing near snow-covered springs.

Unclear where they snagged this pic -- but it sure looks like Bond based on what else he posted/was wearing that day. If it is in fact him, the evidence might be clear as day here.

Pierce hasn't addressed the citations just yet, but it sounds like it'll be something he just has to fess up to and pay a fine for ... assuming he cops to it. Talk about a Dr. No-No, huh?

Ben Affleck Quick, Jenny ... to the Bart-Mobile!!! Drivin' Mrs. Lopez on Vacay

Ben Affleck is playing chauffeur for the missus on their tropical end-of-year vacay -- driving Jennifer Lopez around in a teeny tiny vehicle that he definitely looks too big to be in.

Hubby was behind the wheel Friday in a Mini Moke -- which is basically a toy Jeep for adults -- while cruising around St. Barts with his wife riding passenger ... and like we said, BA seems to be a bit crammed in there, even though Jen's enjoying the ride.

They were out enjoying the day in the capital of Gustavia ... where we're told they hit up Arawak Cafe for a bite, and later did some shopping at Jacques Zolty (a perfume store) and Bulgari (a jewelry shop) while perusing the town.

Of course, they were shoulder to shoulder for their stroll -- with Ben wrapping Jen up tight.

Earlier in the week, J Lo was spotted out on the beach in a bikini -- where her toned body was on display. No sign of Ben there -- but the dude was front and center in the streets.

Their kids don't look to be with 'em for this little getaway ... so, a little alone time, it seems.

Ben Affleck Rápido, Jenny... Pasea a Mrs. Lopez durante sus vacaciones

Ben Affleck está haciendo de chófer para su mujer en sus tropicales vacaciones de fin de año, llevando a Jennifer López en un diminuto vehículo en el que definitivamente se ve demasiado grande en comparación al auto.

El marido estaba al volante de un Mini Moke el viernes, que es básicamente un Jeep de juguete para adultos, mientras paseaba por St. Barts con su esposa como pasajera, y como dijimos, Ben Affleck parece estar un poco apretado allí, a pesar de que Jen está disfrutando del paseo.

La pareja disfrutó el día en la capital de Gustavia, donde nos dicen que pararon a comer un bocado en Arawak Cafe y más tarde hicieron algunas compras en Jacques Zolty (una perfumería) y Bulgari (una joyería) mientras recorrían la ciudad.

Por supuesto, estaban hombro con hombro durante su paseo, con Ben envolviendo fuertemente a Jen.

A principios de semana, J Lo fue vista en la playa en bikini, en donde pudimos apreciar su tonificado cuerpo. No había rastros de Ben allí, pero el tipo estaba al frente y al centro en las calles.

Sus hijos no parecen estar con ellos en esta pequeña escapada, por lo que parece que tienen un poco de tiempo para ellos dos.

Gary Oldman Craps on 'Harry Potter' Role ... I'd Probs Do It Differently

" I WANT A DO-OVER !!!"
Josh Horowitz

Gary Oldman is considered one of the greatest living actors alive today -- but if you take his own review of his work, it's all pretty trash ... especially as it pertains to 'Harry Potter.'

The Academy Award-winning thespian -- who's range knows no limits -- recently got candid on the 'Happy Sad Confused' podcast over how he feels about some the roles he's taken over the years, including Sirius Black in the 'HP' film series.

He played Black for a total of 4 films ... but as he looks back now, GO says he thinks his acting was actually "mediocre" -- and when the host scoffed, Gary freaking doubled down!

The reasoning behind this apparently lies in the fact that he didn't know his character was going to be killed off. As Gare explains here, he didn't read ahead in the books -- the way the late Alan Rickman did -- and says he would've played Black differently if he'd known.

Still, he goes on to say that he often criticizes his past roles -- and while a lot of people try and give him praise ... Gary apparently doesn't get all the hype. Indeed, very harsh.

FWIW, you're a great actor, Mr. Oldman ... whether you like it or not!!!

El actor británico Tom Wilkinson Muere a los 75 'Full Monty,' 'Clayton,' Etc.

Tom Wilkinson, uno de los actores británicos más conocidos de los últimos tiempos, ha fallecido.

Sus seres queridos dieron la noticia a la BBC el sábado, con un comunicado de la familia que decía: "Es con gran tristeza que la familia de Tom Wilkinson anuncia que este murió repentinamente en su casa el 30 de diciembre. Su mujer y su familia estaban con él".

Las circunstancias exactas de su muerte no quedaron claras inmediatamente, ya que no se dieron más detalles. En cualquier caso, es un duro golpe para la comunidad cinematográfica, en la que era muy querido.

A Wilkinson se le recordará sobre todo por su papel de Gerald en "The Full Monty", una popular comedia de los 90 sobre un grupo de hombres de mediana edad que abría un local de striptease solo para hombres. Pero lo cierto es que Wilkinson participó en muchas otras películas igual de buenas a lo largo de los años.

Interpretó a Arthur Edens junto a George Clooney en "Michael Clayton", así como a Matt Fowler en "In the Bedroom" de 2001, y al autor en "The Grand Budapest Hotel" de Wes Anderson.

Wilkinson protagonizó otras innumerables películas a lo largo de los años, incluyendo "Batman Begins", "Shakespeare in Love", "Rush Hour", "Wilde", "El fantasma y la oscuridad", "El patriota", "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", "Valkyrie", "Mission: Imposible - Protocolo Fantasma", "El Llanero Solitario", "Selma", "Snowden", "El Titán", "El Samaritano"... y muchas, muchas más.

En total, tenía 129 créditos como actor y 2 proyectos en espera. Uno ya estaba en postproducción, por lo que presumiblemente será su último papel antes de morir. Wilkinson tenía 75 años.

Que en paz descanse.
