Mike Ehrmann/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — Golfing great Tiger Woods was injured in a rollover car crash in Southern California Tuesday morning, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department said.

In a statement to Golf Digest, Tiger’s agent Mark Steinberg said the legend, “suffered multiple leg injuries” in a “single car accident.” Steinberg added, “He is currently in surgery and we thank you for your privacy and support.”

The crash took place at about 7:12 a.m. on the border of Rolling Hills estates and Rancho Palos Verdes, the sheriff’s office said.

Woods, the driver and only occupant, was extricated through a windshield and taken to a hospital for his injuries, the sheriff’s office said.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department said he was transported in serious condition.

Former NBA champ Dwyane Wade posted photos to Instagram Tuesday of him on a golf course with Woods on Monday.

Amazon Video/Quantrell D. Colbert(LOS ANGELES) — Eddie Murphy may be an actor, but he is a father, first and foremost.  So, when working alongside daughter Bella Murphy in the comedy Coming 2 America, those two careers collided during a rather intense fight scene.

The father-daughter duo opened up to Entertainment Tonight on Monday about the sequel movie, of which Eddie reprises his role of Prince Akeem. Bella plays his daughter, Omma.

For Bella, the movie was her first acting gig and she felt the pressure to prove she landed the role not because of nepotism, but because she had the best audition.

“I was very nervous,” the 19-year-old admitted. “I didn’t want people to watch it and be like, ‘Oh, that’s his daughter because she can’t keep up with everyone,’ you know?”

That mentality, she admits, made her go a little too hard during a particular fight scene that she shot with her dad.

“I wanted my performance to be really good and I wanted to go in and do the best that I could,” she confessed. “I came down with my bow staff and I was supposed to whack my dad and he was, like, blocking, but the way I came down was way too close to his knuckles.”

“I saw his life flash before his eyes,” added Bella, saying the mishap caused director Craig Brewer to stop the scene.

Meanwhile, Eddie jokingly told his little girl, “You’re grounded!”

The Oscar-nominee added that he is proud of his daughter’s movie debut.

“I told her that she couldn’t work until she was 18,” he explained, saying he allowed he to audition because she was the right age for the part. “So she auditioned for it and got the part.” 

Coming 2 America premieres March 5 on Amazon Prime.

Todd Williamson/E! Entertainment(LOS ANGELES) — Mandy Moore is officially a mom!

The This Is Us actress revealed on Tuesday that she welcomed her first child, a boy named August Harrison Goldsmith, aka Gus. Moore took to social media to announce the good news, sharing a photo of her bundle of joy.

“Gus is here,” she wrote. “Our sweet boy, August Harrison Goldsmith. He was punctual and arrived right on his due date, much to the delight of his parents. We were prepared to fall in love in all sorts of brand new ways, but it goes beyond anything we could have ever imagined.”

This is the first child for Moore, 36, and husband Taylor Goldsmith.

The “Candy” singer first revealed she was pregnant with a baby boy last September, sharing a series of black-and-white photos with Goldsmith, 35.

In the snaps, Goldsmith cradled the actress’ baby bump as she flashed a big smile for the camera.

In mid-January, Moore shared an update on her pregnancy, saying she was “almost there.”

Moore and Goldsmith, a fellow singer, married in November 2018. They began dating in 2015 and got engaged in September 2017.

In a post celebrating her second wedding anniversary with Goldsmith last November, Moore wrote that she “can’t wait to meet this baby boy of ours.”

Samir Hussein/WireImage(LONDON) — While the appetite for the story of the runaway royals shows no sign of stopping in the States, it seems Brits are returning the favor to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for turning their backs on their royal lives.

In a Redfield & Wilton Strategies poll published by the U.K. publication The Sun, more than half of Brits surveyed said they’re not going to watch an upcoming interview with America’s veritable queen, Oprah Winfrey. 

The 90-minute special will air on CBS on our shores March 7, but in the U.K., 55% of those polled by The Sun said they won’t be tuning in when it airs the next morning over The Pond.

Only 27% said they’d be tuning in. 

What’s more, the survey said 43% don’t want the Duke and Duchess to return to Britain and “resume an active role in the Royal Family.”

A third said their opinions on the couple have gone “downhill” since they left the U.K.

The Sun noted the poll was conducted before the pair were officially stripped of their royal duties by Queen Elizabeth II — however, 44% said she should do so.

David McNew/Getty Images(LOS ANGELES) — In a move that would have made Seinfeld‘s high score holder George Costanza green with envy, NBC’s streaming service Peacock has announced it’s creating a “supersized physical competition series” based on the ’80s video game FROGGER. 

According to the streamer, the show’s concept “brings to life” the video game, pitting human contestants on an “epic” obstacle course that emulates the perilous journeys across the street — and the screen — undertaken by players who controlled its jumping amphibian character.

Like the 1981 Konami game of the same name, this IRL version of FROGGER will pit players against treacherous traffic, snapping gators and hungry hippos. 

Unlike the game, however, Peacock’s version of FROGGER will net the winning player a “massive” cash prize.
