Dennis Quaid is primed to join the Trump train for the upcoming U.S. Presidential election ... and he's making some pretty unfiltered statements about his pick, with choice language.

The actor went on "Piers Morgan Uncensored" this week, and he flat out said ... he's voting for Trump come November. He says it makes sense to him seeing the state of politics nowadays ... adding he couldn't care less about the backlash or what people say about DT.

As DQ eloquently put it ... "People might call him an a**hole, but he's my a**hole."

Bill Moseley -- known for 'The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' franchise -- got an unwelcome scare of his own last week after being slammed into by a cyclist ... who apparently took off.

The actor's rep tells TMZ ... it all went down in Raleigh, NC Friday -- where the horror icon was expected to attend Carolina Fear Fest ... but shortly before the event kicked off, he was hit from behind during an afternoon walk, leaving him with 4 fractured ribs and a fractured pelvis.

We're told Bill was walking behind his hotel along a dual pedestrian-bike path and that a dude came flying down the lane and ran right into him from behind ... at a speed which we're told was about 30 MPH. Rather than stop to help, Bill's rep says this man bolted ... fleeing the scene.

Bill, as a result, was left writhing in pain ... and we're told help was eventually called for him ... and he was transported to a trauma hospital, where he underwent multiple CT scans.

In the end ... Bill suffered multiple pelvic and rib fractures -- something he noted himself on IG, posting a couple shots of himself in a hospital gown, and eventually being wheeled out in a wheelchair. While what happened to him was serious ... he's keeping his spirits up.

As for the biker who hopped back on his bike and rode off, Moseley -- who's also starred in 2007's "Halloween" threw in a horror character reference, saying ... "And here I thought Jason packed a punch!"

Bill's since been discharged from the hospital, and has a 6-week rehab stay ahead of him, and has been ordered by docs to avoid putting weight on his left leg at all costs.

The folks behind Carolina Fear Fest also confirmed Bill's expected to make a full recovery, and have announced anyone who purchased a photo op with Bill will receive an immediate refund.

Bill's undoubtedly loved and respected in the horror community. In addition to starring in the 1986 sequel to "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," he also appeared in "Texas Chainsaw 3D" in 2013 as Drayton Sawyer.

He's also a staple in Rob Zombie's "Firefly" trilogy, among countless other horror projects solidifying his status as a genre icon.

Molly Ringwald is opening up about her experiences as a teen star ... sharing her time in Hollywood was more daunting than fans realize, 'cause she says she was preyed upon.

The 'Breakfast Club' actress reflected on her early career during the latest episode of the "WTF with Marc Maron" podcast, where she recalled being "taken advantage of" -- this despite her shy demeanor and introverted nature as a budding celeb.

She added ... "You can't be a young actress in Hollywood and not have predators around." Now, while Molly says she wasn't sexually assaulted by any one individual -- she does feel she was exploited ... although she doesn't quite get into the details of how, or by whom.

Robert De Niro is putting himself directly in the line of fire with Donald Trump's furious supporters ... who called him every name in the book, but he shouted right back at 'em.

The actor was almost literally Daniel in the lions' den Tuesday morning in downtown Manhattan, where De Niro came face-to-face with an angry MAGA mob -- they shouted "F*** you," and called him a traitor ... to America and Italians and Jewish people. Other obscenities made mention of Robert's mother.

He was surrounded by security guards as he made his way through the crowd, but did stop at one point to yell back, "We're trying to be gentlemen in this world, the Democrats. You are gangsters! F*** you!!!"

2024 is struggling to compete with last year's impressive box office numbers ... with 2 expected blockbusters underperforming over Memorial Day weekend, doing historically bad.

Terry Crews plans to pull up to Anderson Silva's boxing match in June ... but, he's not going to fight the MMA legend as he recently implied on social media -- he's simply going to support his buddy!

In case you missed it, the shirtless actor went on Instagram last week and delivered a message for the UFC legend, saying he's been training and is ready to see him June 15.

Fans figured Crews was throwing out a potential fight, but the 55-year-old told TMZ Sports that's simply not the case.

A 'Karate Kid' series OG was shocked to learn his character's name has skyrocketed in popularity for babies ... and he hopes that means no more random insults from fans on the street.

Here's the deal ... the Social Security Administration just released the most popular baby names for 2023 ... and highlighted that the second fastest-rising boy name was "Chozen."

For the "wax-on, wax-off" uninitiated, that was the bad dude in "The Karate Kid: Part II" who tried to kill Daniel, AKA Ralph Macchio ... only to become a fan-favorite hero thanks to his return in Netflix's wildly popular "Cobra Kai."

Actress and stand-up comedian Amy Hill was 50 years old when she was cast to play Sue -- the generous cafe manager at Hukilau cafe in Hawaii and Lucy's protective friend -- in the 2004 romantic comedy film "50 First Dates."

Video of the rant itself hasn't surfaced yet ... but, a clip allegedly shot in the lead-up to the convo is floating around on YouTube -- and, it shows Dreyfuss wearing a dress and performing a dance of sorts to Taylor Swift's "Love Story."

11:58 AM PT -- Another Cannes' attendee has called out the same security guard ... Ukrainian model Sawa Pontyjska -- better known as Miss Europe 2023 -- shared a clip where she ended up in a bear hug by security. Unclear exactly what led up to the confrontation.

Yoona -- a K-pop star turned actress -- was on the same grand staircase Kelly had been on a couple days earlier, and as she posed for pics and waved to fans ... the female security staffer blocked Yoona with her arm and rushed her into the event.

AMC is getting a "Sicilian message" of sorts from one of the "Goodfellas" crew after the network slapped a new warning on the mob classic ... causing fans to flip more than Tommy -- aka Joe Pesci -- being told to get his shine box.

Here's the deal ... TMZ recently reported AMC added a warning over outdated stereotypes in addition to violence and language ... and, it caused some serious online backlash.

Hannah Waddingham's got a long memory ... 'cause she says she's got a mental list of the casting directors who shunned her over the years -- and, she's ready to get the last laugh.

But, HW says she's got respect for herself ... saying she consistently turns down work if the offer's coming from someone who disrespected her talent or looks in the past.

Disney's gone off the deep end with their woke messaging and needs to focus on the building blocks of story, so says the director of several Mouse House classics.

John Musker -- who directed the animated versions of "The Little Mermaid," "Aladdin" and "Moana" -- called out the content giant during an interview with El País ... basically saying Disney's gone overboard on getting their message across.

JM says, "I think they need to do a course correction a bit in terms of putting the message secondary, behind entertainment and compelling story and engaging characters."

The actor tells TMZ ... he'd love to be a part of "Speed 3," after Sandra and Keanu both expressed an interest in rebooting the franchise. However, Joe -- who played Lieutenant Herb 'Mac' McMahon in the OG -- says there are some big questions that need to be answered before he signs on for any new movie.

He adds ... "'Speed' was a wonderful roller coaster ride; the bus had to careen through the city and jump a gap in a bridge and couldn’t go below 50mph or it would blow up -- what’s 3’s vehicle?"
