Alec Baldwin Hit with New Criminal Charge ... In 'Rust' Case

Alec Baldwin is being dragged back into criminal court in the "Rust" case -- and he's facing the same charge as before ... involuntary manslaughter.

The actor just got hit with a new grand jury indictment out of Santa Fe -- and it says he's being rung up on one count of involuntary manslaughter involving negligent use of a firearm. However, there's an alternative charge he could face ... involuntary manslaughter without due caution or circumspection.

The reason there are 2 charges listed is because the grand jury basically agreed there is enough evidence for him to be prosecuted on either ... but the D.A.'s office will presumably only pursue one of these.

Remember, Alec has already been put through the wringer on this front -- he was charged with involuntary manslaughter, but those charges were eventually dropped.

PRACTICE SHOT

He might've thought he was out of the woods, but prosecutors have been signaling for months they were leaving the window open to possibly re-charge ... and now they've followed through with the grand jury's indictment.

Alec pled not guilty at first -- and we imagine he'll enter the same plea again. His attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, signaled as much ... telling TMZ, "We look forward to our day in court."

Elisabeth Moss Father Ron Dead at 79

Elisabeth Moss' dad, Ron Moss, has died ... TMZ has learned.

The actress's father passed away Thursday night in Clearwater, FL after a brief battle with an infection -- this according to his grandson, Max, the executor of Ron's estate. We're told he was surrounded by family, and that his death was peaceful.

Max writes of his granddad ... "Ron made so many friends throughout his rich life and we want everyone to know that you all meant so much to him. Thank you for everything that any of you did for him throughout his life."

Ron was a professional musician, and was a trained trombone player who played in jazz bands throughout his life ... including gigging with none other than the father of Scientology leader David Miscavige. Yes, Ron was also a Scientologist himself ... as is Elisabeth.

He actually served as a manager for some big stars over the years too -- including Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes and others. Chick is Elisabeth's godfather, interestingly enough.

While he was born and raised across the pond, he and his ex-wife, Linda, raised Elisabeth and her brother Derek here in the States ... Los Angeles specifically. While Elisabeth has posed for some shots with her dad ... it doesn't appear they were that close of late.

Unclear if Elisabeth is aware of her father's death at this point -- we've reached out to her camp for comment ... but so far, no word back. Ron was 79.

RIP

Elisabeth Moss Su padre Ron muere a los 79

El padre de Elisabeth Moss, Ron Moss, ha muerto ... TMZ ha averiguado.

El padre de la actriz falleció el jueves por la noche en Clearwater, Florida, después de una breve batalla contra una infección. Esto, de acuerdo a su nieto, Max, el albacea de la herencia de Ron. Nos dicen que estaba rodeado de su familia y que su muerte fue pacífica.

Max escribe de su abuelo: "Ron hizo tantos amigos a lo largo de su rica vida y queremos que todos sepan que significaban mucho para él. Gracias por todo lo que cualquiera de ustedes hizo por él a lo largo de su vida".

Ron era músico profesional y trombonista de formación, y tocó en bandas de jazz durante toda su vida, incluyendo actuaciones con nada menos que el padre del líder de la Cienciología, David Miscavige. Sí, Ron también era un cienciólogo, al igual que Elisabeth.

En realidad sirvió como manager de algunas grandes estrellas en los últimos años también, incluyendo Chick Corea, Isaac Hayes y otros. Chick es el padrino de Elisabeth, curiosamente.

Aunque nació y creció al otro lado del charco, él y su ex mujer Linda criaron a Elisabeth y a su hermano Derek en Estados Unidos, concretamente en Los Ángeles. Aunque Elisabeth ha posado para algunas fotos con su padre no parece que fueran tan cercanos últimamente.

No está claro si Elisabeth es consciente de la muerte de su padre en este momento. Nos pusimos en contacto con su equipo para que hicieran comentarios, pero hasta ahora no hemos tenido respuesta. Ron tenía 79 años.

Que en paz descanse.

Kate Beckinsale BAFTA Might Not Honor My Stepdad ... During In Memoriam!!!

update

7:53 AM PT -- A BAFTA spokesperson tells TMZ ... "We were very sorry to hear of Roy Battersby’s recent passing - he was a renowned and trailblazing director. Roy Battersby was awarded the Alan Clarke Award in 1996, a BAFTA Special Television Award. We confirm he will be honoured in our forthcoming BAFTA Television Awards in May, and on the In Memoriam Section on our website."

Kate Beckinsale says the folks running BAFTA can't make any promises when it comes to honoring her late stepfather -- which she thinks is outrageous ... and she may be right.

The actress tore the British academy a new one Thursday in an IG post -- in which she alleged producers for the annual award show (basically, the UK version of the Oscars/Globes) told her the recently late Roy Battersby might not be recognized in their program.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

KB posted a pic of her stepdad receiving a lifetime achievement BAFTA award years ago for work he'd done in television across the pond, and Kate went on to air her frustration.

She writes, "Today BAFTA told me they ‘could not guarantee’ he would be included in their “in memoriam” tribute , to honour the industry members we have lost. So a man dead less than a week somehow has to audition in front of a committee after a decades long career (in which he has been awarded from said organisation the highest accolade they have) to decide IF his death is worth mentioning."

A Big Loss

As if that wasn't scathing enough, Kate adds ... "I am paralysed ,sick and sickened and I will honour him and his work every day of my life." She went on to say her mother, Judy Loe, has been quietly battling cancer behind the scenes too ... making this perceived snub worse.

One last final dig at BAFTA from Kate ... "[T]hanks again , BAFTA for your horribly cold email." Oof, talk about honest -- something tells us Roy will make it in there after all.

Jacob Elordi Let Me Get A Whiff of Myself ... Sniffs/Licks 'Elordi Bathwater' Candle

011924_jacob_elordi_kal
TAKE A WHIFF OF THIS!!!
NBC

Jacob Elordi's new movie "Saltburn" has a bathtub scene that has many stomachs turning, while others are pending money to smell his bathwater ... and now the actor himself's getting a big whiff!

He came face-to-wick Thursday night on 'The Tonight Show' as Jimmy Fallon whipped out a very distinct scented candle. If the marketing can be believed, the candle smells like JE's scent -- mind you, it's fan-made.

Jacob said he was already aware of the candles, thanks to his "Priscilla" costar Cailee Spaeny -- but, he says he's not seeing a dollar off the product.

Of course, he couldn't leave without taking a big old sniff of himself ... and even got his mouth involved a la Barry Keoghan's character in "Saltburn."

We won't give away too much, but all ya gotta know is BK's character, Oliver, slurps up some very spicy bathwater after Jacob's character, Felix, does much more than just soak in it.

Like we said, stomach-turning!

As for how well the candle captures Jacob's essence -- the Australian actor seemed a bit unimpressed, noting it smells more like laundry detergent than him.

"Saltburn" is taking the world by storm right now, racking up nominations this awards season ... and Elordi's stayin' busy too with an 'SNL' hosting gig coming up Saturday.

Breathe deep, folks!!!

Jacob Elordi Prueba supuesta vela con su propio aroma... En The Tonight Show

Huele esto...
NBC

¡La nueva película de Jacob Elordi "Saltburn" tiene una escena en la bañera que tiene a muchos con los estómagos revueltos, mientras que otros están dispuestos a pagar por oler su agua de baño y ahora el propio actor está recibiendo una gran bocanada de ella!

En el programa "The Tonight Show", del jueves por la noche, Jimmy Fallon sacó una vela perfumada muy especial. Si podemos confiar en lo que dice el marketing, la vela huele exactamente como Jacob Elordi. Se pueden imaginar que esto está hecho para los fans.

Jacob dijo que ya estaba al tanto de las velas, gracias a su coprotagonista en "Priscilla", Cailee Spaeny, pero dice que no está viendo ni un dólar por el producto.

Por supuesto, no pudo evitar dar una gran olfateada de sí mismo e incluso involucró su boca en ello, tal como el personaje de Barry Keoghan en "Saltburn".

No vamos a revelar demasiado, pero todo lo que tienes que saber es que el personaje de Barry, Oliver, chupetea un poco del agua de baño después de que el personaje de Jacob, Felix, se había estado dando un buen baño en ella.

Como hemos dicho, ¡estómago revuelto!

En cuanto a lo bien que la vela captura la esencia de Jacob, el actor australiano parecía un poco impresionado, señalando que huele más a detergente que a sí mismo.

"Saltburn" se ha convertido en un éxito, con varias nominaciones en esta temporada de premios y Elordi también se mantiene muy ocupado con su actuación como anfitrión de 'Saturday Night Live' el próximo sábado.

¡Respiren hondo, amigos!

Malia Obama Stuns At Sundance ... I'm a Big Shot in Hollywood!!!

Malia Obama has come a long way from her childhood days in the White House ... 'cause she's now walking the red carpet at Sundance as a straight-up filmmaker.

The 25-year-old daughter of former president Barack Obama made her debut on the red carpet at the Park City, Utah annual event Thursday night.

Malia looked just stunning in her light blue button-down shirt, gray overcoat, gray scarf, black pants and shiny brown boots.

The former first daughter showed up for the premiere of her new short film, "The Heart," which she wrote and directed under the name Malia Ann. Turns out that Ann is her middle name, which appears in the credits.

Malia has said the movie is about "lost objects and lonely people and forgiveness and regret, but I also think it works hard to uncover where tenderness and closeness can exist in these things."

Sounds like a winner to us! Let's hope the Sundance jurors and audiences think so, too, when they go vote for their favorite flicks in each category.

As a side note ... Malia was just 10 when she moved into the White House during her dad's 8 year tenure as the 44th President of the Unites States from 2009 to 2017.

We covered it all on the latest episode of The TMZ Podcast, available on all podcast platforms.

Malia Obama Deslumbra en su debut en la alfombra roja de Sundance

Malia Obama ha recorrido un largo camino desde sus días de infancia en la Casa Blanca, pues ahora está caminando por la alfombra roja de Sundance como una verdadera cineasta.

La hija de 25 años del ex presidente Barack Obama hizo su debut en la alfombra roja en el evento anual de Park City, Utah, el jueves por la noche.

Malia estaba deslumbrante con su camisa azul claro abotonada, un abrigo gris, bufanda gris, pantalones negros y botas marrones brillantes.

La joven cineasta acudió al estreno de su nuevo cortometraje "The Heart", que escribió y dirigió bajo el nombre de Malia Ann. Resulta que Ann es su segundo nombre y es el que aparece en los créditos.

Malia ha dicho que la película trata sobre "objetos perdidos y gente solitaria y el perdón y el arrepentimiento, pero también creo que se esfuerza por descubrir si puede existir ternura y cercanía en estas cosas".

Se escucha como una ganadora para nosotros. Esperemos que los miembros del jurado y el público de Sundance piensen lo mismo cuando voten por sus películas favoritas.

Como nota al margen, Malia tenía solo 10 años cuando se mudó a la Casa Blanca durante el mandato de 8 años de su padre como el 44º Presidente de los Estados Unidos de 2009 a 2017.

David Alan Grier on 'TASOMN' Dares TMZ Photog to Say Movie Title ... Go On, Out with It!!!

Those Are The Rules
TMZ.com

The cast of "The American Society of Magical Negroes" all seem to be in agreement that white people shouldn't say the title in full -- and that goes for our own camera guy too.

David Alan Grier made that perfectly clear in a walk-and-chat we did with him Thursday at LAX -- where he was on his way to Sundance to screen his and Justice Smith's new dark comedy ... which is sort of a goofy spin on 'Harry Potter,' but with historical racial tropes.

Just watch the trailer to get the gist of what it's actually about -- it's pretty self-explanatory -- but on the issue of saying this film's title in full ... DAG is on the same page as Justice. Namely, he also thinks whites should steer clear of letting it come out of their mouths.

You'll recall ... JS -- who's the lead star of the flick -- told us exactly that yesterday at the airport, although you can tell he's totally joking. Ditto for Dave ... or so it seems?!?

011724_justice_smith_kal
MIND YOUR MOUTH ...
TMZ.com

Check out this back-and-forth he has with our photog ... let's just say, it's a bit awkward.

Charlie here is a white dude, and he doesn't wanna offend anyone -- but when David dares him to say the film title in all its glory ... things get a little handsy, all in good fun, though.

June Carver en "Two Weeks Notice" ¿La recuerdas?

La actriz estadounidense Alicia Witt tenía poco más de 20 años cuando interpretó a June Carver, una chica coqueta y a la moda ansiosa por conseguir el puesto de consejera jefe de una empresa inmobiliaria en la comedia romántica "Aviso de dos semanas" (Two Weeks Notice), en 2002.

Alicia compartió la gran pantalla con Hugh Grant, en el papel del arrogante multimillonario y promotor inmobiliario George Wade, y Sandra Bullock, como la inteligente Lucy Kelson, licenciada en Derecho por Harvard y especializada en derecho medioambiental y conservación.

Alicia saltó a la fama como actriz infantil con papeles en "Dune" y "Twin Peaks". También actuó junto a Queen Latifah en "Last Holiday".

Adivina qué aspecto tiene ahora.

June In 'Two Weeks Notice' 'Memba Her?!

American actress Alicia Witt was in her mid 20's when she played June Carver -- the fashionable and flirty gal eager to land the new Chief Counsel role for a real estate company -- in the comedy/romance film "Two Weeks Notice" back in 2002.

Alicia shared the big screen with Hugh Grant as the arrogant billionaire and real estate developer, George Wade, and Sandra Bullock as the smart Harvard Law alumni, all about environmental law and preservation, Lucy Kelson.

Alicia first rose to fame as a child actress landing roles in "Dune" and "Twin Peaks." She also acted alongside Queen Latifah in "Last Holiday."

Guess what she looks like now!

Troy Baker le pone voz a "Indiana Jones" en un nuevo videojuego Harrison queda fuera

Indiana Jones está de vuelta, pero Harrison Ford no se pondrá el sombrero... ¡ni siquiera en el mundo digital!

Bethesda Softworks publicó el jueves el tráiler de su próximo videojuego "Indiana Jones y el Gran Círculo", y los fans no pudieron evitar darse cuenta que Indy suena un poco diferente.

Y es que Ford, que interpretó el papel en todas las películas y series de televisión, no prestará su voz al proyecto, sino Troy Baker, quien es como el Harrison Ford del mundo de los videojuegos. Sí, es así de icónico.

Basta con echarle un vistazo a los créditos del tipo: "The Last of Us", "Mortal Kombat", "BioShock", "Halo 4", "Resident Evil" y "Call of Duty: Black Ops", ¡además de darle voz a Batman en una serie!

Las reacciones de los fans son abrumadoramente positivas (no es una pequeña hazaña cuando se trata de la comunidad de jugadores.) A las personas que conocen el trabajo de Baker les encanta el casting y los que no todavía estaban impresionados por el trailer.

No se sabe exactamente por qué Harrison no volverá al papel. Podría ser por dinero —los videojuegos no tienen el mismo presupuesto que las grandes superproducciones— o podría ser que Han Solo está cumpliendo las promesas que hizo durante su gira de prensa para "Indiana Jones y el dial del destino"... es decir, que ha terminado con Indy y que está pasando a algo más grande y mejor.

Una cita que realmente lo dice todo, cuando se le preguntó si era agridulce dejar el personaje, Ford respondió: "No. Es hora de que crezca". Así que, definitivamente, parece un tipo que cuelga su viejo sombrero de arqueólogo.

Harrison tiene otros papeles en todo caso. Acaba de recibir una nominación al Critics Choice Award por su trabajo como el Dr. Paul Rhoades en "Shrinking" y tiene dos proyectos de Marvel en camino, el tipo está muy ocupado para una persona de 81 años.

"Indiana Jones y el Gran Círculo" saldrá este año en Xbox y PC, así que prepara tus látigos ¡porque esos artefactos pertenecen a un museo!

Pauly Shore I Know Richard's Mad About My Movie But I Honestly Mean Well!!!

Pauly Shore 1/18/24
he'll come around ... i think
BACKGRID

Richard Simmons made very clear this week that he doesn't approve of Pauly Shore making a movie about him/his life -- but Pauly thinks he'll win the guy over ... eventually.

The actor touched down at the Salt Lake City Int'l Airport Thursday, where he's in town for the Sundance Film Festival that's going down this weekend in neighboring Park City. Right off the bat, photogs on hand were ready to pepper him with questions about this film of his.

Of course, the big one being ... do you think it's right to proceed with this Richard Simmons biopic -- even though the man himself hasn't given his blessing ... explicitly so.

Check out Pauly's take here, 'cause he touches on a few different things. For starters, he thinks RS might be singing this tune today ... but could well be feeling completely different about it by tomorrow. More importantly, though, he thinks intention is everything with this.

From Pauly's view, he's not coming from a vindictive place -- and he vows to do Richard justice in his portrayal of him. He also says straight up ... build it, and they'll come!

Pauly goes on to explain that he genuinely believes once Richard can see this new short film of his -- on which the forthcoming biopic will be based -- RS will come around to seeing his things his way, basically suggesting the work will be good ... and it'll be done right by Rich.

Bottom line for Pauly here ... people love Richard, and they also love him -- and he says folks are itching to see both of them make a comeback in a big way.

011924_tmz_live_shore_kal 1/19/24
HE'LL COME AROUND!!!
TMZ.com

His question is ... what's wrong with giving the people what they want?!?

Time will tell if Richard does, in fact, warm up to the idea. For now, he's very much anti-this.

'Indiana Jones' Video Game Harrison Ain't Back in the Saddle ... Voice Acting Icon Steps In

Indiana Jones is back already, but Harrison Ford ain't pickin' up the whip ... not even in the digital world!

Bethesda Softworks released the trailer for its upcoming video game "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" on Thursday, and fans couldn't help but notice ... Indy sounds a bit different.

That's because Ford -- who played the role in all film/TV content -- isn't lending his voice to the project ... instead it's Troy Baker, who's kinda like the Harrison Ford of the video game world. Yep, he's that iconic.

Just check out the guy's credits ... "The Last of Us," 'Mortal Kombat,' "BioShock," "Halo 4," 'Resident Evil' and "Call of Duty: Black Ops" ... plus he voiced freakin' Batman in one series!

And, fan reactions are .... overwhelmingly positive (not a small feat when it comes to the gaming community.) People who know Baker's work love the casting and those who don't were still blown away by the trailer - 'cause he's doing one heck of an impression.

It's unclear exactly why Harrison isn't coming back to the role. Could be money -- video games don't have the same budgets as blockbuster films -- or it could be that Han Solo's keeping to the promises he made during his press tour for "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny" ... namely, that he's finished with Indy, and he's moving on to bigger and better.

One such quote that really says it all ... when asked if it was bittersweet leaving the character HF replied, "No. It’s time for me to grow up." So, it definitely sounds like a dude who's hanging his old archeologist's hat.

Harrison's got other roles to kick ass at BTW ... he just received a Critics Choice Award nom for his work as Dr. Paul Rhoades in "Shrinking," and he's got two Marvel projects on the way -- dude's pretty busy for an 81 year old.

"Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" comes out sometime this year on Xbox and PC ... so get your whips and fedoras ready -- those artifacts belong in a museum!!!

SOFIA VERGARA RELISTS BEV HILLS ESTATE ... Discounted by $5.7M!!

It's the home that just won't sell, but Sofia Vergara's giving it another go ... relisting her Beverly Hills mansion with a massive price drop to woo a buyer.

The 7-bedroom abode has been through a few price reductions since going up for sale in 2022 for $19.6M ... even being taken off the market earlier this month ... and now it's being relisted for $13,950,000. If you're not good at math -- that's a big dip!

The $5.7M price drop is undoubtedly an attempt on Sofia's end to get rid of the property ... as it's the home she once shared with her ex-husband, Joe Manganiello.

The pair announced their divorce in July 2023 ... but while things didn't work out for them personally, at least they were living it up in style. That much is clear from these photos.

The spectacular BH estate is steeped in exceptional elegance and complete privacy ... boasting a brand-spankin' new chef's kitchen, 11,000 sq ft of living space, and hardwood floors.

It's also got a full-sized gym, a resort-like backyard with a pool and spa, a movie theater, and even a wine room. It sounds like a steal for the new price tag!

Santiago Arana of The Agency and Barry Peele of Sotheby's International Realty hold the listing.

Arnold Schwarzenegger Habla de su detención... También cuenta chistes!!!

011824_arnold_schwarzenegger_kal
¿Pueden creerlo?
TMZ.com

Actualización

1:44 PM PT - Fuentes con conocimiento directo le dicen a TMZ que el preciado reloj Audemars Piguet de Arnold Schwarzenegger encontró un comprador en la subasta de hoy y el precio por el que se vendió fue bastante asombroso.

Nos dicen que el reloj terminó yéndose por 270.000 euros, lo que se traduce en alrededor de $293k en billetes verdes. Recuerden, este objeto había sido valorado en alrededor de $100.000 más o menos, por lo que pueden imaginarse que la escapada de Arnold con él en Alemania aumentó su valor entre los postores.

En total se recaudaron 1,3 millones de euros, lo que supone un récord para la organización. Esto es especialmente importante porque los recaudadores de fondos en Europa no suelen recaudar tanto como en Estados Unidos.

En cualquier caso, todo se destinará a una gran causa. Esto es la Iniciativa Climática de Arnold Schwarzenegger. ¡¡¡De nada, Madre Tierra!!!

La detención de Arnold Schwarzenegger por parte de la aduana alemana fue un asunto serio, pero ahora que está donde tenía que estar, está haciendo bromas, ¡y de las picantes!

El actor de Terminator finalmente llegó a su gran subasta en Austria el jueves, donde se subió al escenario del famoso Stanglwirt Resort para ser anfitrión de las ofertas en nombre de Schwarzenegger Climate Initiative, y el costoso reloj también estaba entre los artículos.

Echa un vistazo a este video obtenido por TMZ, donde se ve a Arnold dirigirse a todos en la sala. Luego, el tipo se sumerge de lleno en lo que pasó en el aeropuerto de Munich.

Estaba de muy buen humor porque básicamente hizo unos cuantos minutos de stand-up comedy, bromeando sobre el hecho de que había sido esposado el día anterior, pero señalando que no tenía nada que ver con el asunto en la aduana. En lugar de eso, lo relacionó a una noche apasionada con su novia. 😅

Sí, estaba muy divertido e incluso llegó a decir que los chicos de aduanas en realidad estaban buscando un segundo reloj mientras buscaban entre sus cosas, pero nunca lo encontraron, y sugiere que es porque lo puso donde no brilla el sol.

Arnie consiguió unas risas, sin duda, y estuvo trabajando la audiencia como si fuera un comediante experimentado. Por cierto, nos han dicho que el evento estaba abarrotado: había más de 350 personas y terminó hablando durante un total de 8 minutos, no solo sobre el incidente de Alemania, por supuesto.

No está claro si Arnold acabó vendiendo el reloj Audemars Piguet en cuestión, que, por cierto, tenía una puja inicial de 50.000 euros, pero al menos soltó unos buenos chistes.

Hay que querer a Arnold. El tipo sabe cómo contar una buena historia.
