A special effects technician was killed Monday in an accident during London production of the latest Batman film "The Dark Knight."

Warner Bros. said the unidentified crew member died when a truck carrying a camera platform crashed into a tree while following a stunt vehicle. Filming on the movie was not taking place at the time, and no actors were involved in the accident.

TMZ cameras caught the on-screen couple in various states of canoodle and just plain idling as the "Sex and the City" flick finally began shooting in New York. Despite the producers' attempts to keep lensmen away from the set, we managed to find SJP and Noth in a number of tony locations, including just outside celebriteria Nello's.

His snazzy black silk single-breasted suit got mad props from the crowd. When one fan asked Cuba to "Show me the money!" he slyly gestured to his suit, and replied, "You don't see it?"

Apparently, all the limoncellos he's been drinking are going straight to Danny DeVito's head. He's thinking about doing a sequel to "Throw Momma From the Train." What, what, what?

The former "Taxi" star says he even broached the topic with the film's co-star, Billy Crystal. "I actually haunt Billy [Crystal] all the time," he told the MTV Movies Blog. "I always call him and say we should do a sequel." What's next, "Other People's Money 2"?

The "momma" in question, Anne Ramsey, was nominated for a Golden Globe and an Oscar for the movie (who knew?), but died less than a year after the movie was released. No, she wasn't thrown from a train.

TMZ has learned that producers of the upcoming Lionsgate film "Tulia" have scrapped plans to start filming in October -- as the film's star, Halle Berry, is three months pregnant!

A source close to the production tells us Berry, 41, who is currently dating hottie model Gabriel Aubry, was set to star in the movie about the drug and racial profiling scandal in Tulia, Texas. The film, which was scheduled for a 2008 release, was to be directed by John Singleton and also starred Billy Bob Thornton.

We're told the project has not been shelved entirely; producers may decide to pick it up at a later date.

TMZ was at the star-studded premiere of "Anna," the first biopic of the late Anna Nicole Smith, and in typical Trendy fashion, Bobby once again made himself the center of attention. The Queen of Taffeta went on yet another random rant, this time proclaiming he should take custody of Dannielynn. Nurse!

Chyna Doll lamented the passing of her friend and "Illegal Aliens" co-star ... while Mary Carey, who didn't even know Anna, was just happy to be noticed. The film's star, Willa Ford, didn't even show.

But it turns out Gummi does have a bit of an acting career in his past, albeit a small one. A pre-Gummified Davis had a very small part in the 1997 Chris Farley flick, "Beverly Hills Ninja" as the young Farley. Yup, there is some resemblance there.

Gummi is in the movie for a only few seconds -- just enough time to hit someone over the head with a stick.

John Singleton, acclaimed director of "Boyz in the Hood," was involved in a fatal accident Thursday night in Los Angeles.

LAPD officers tell TMZ Singleton was driving his 2001 Lexus SUV around 8:00 PM on a Los Angeles street, when a female pedestrian, not in a crosswalk, suddenly stepped in front of Singleton's car. Police say Singleton immediately stopped and waited for police and an ambulance to arrive. The 57-year-old woman, identified as Constance Russell of Los Angeles, was taken to a nearby hospital where she died Friday morning.

Police tell TMZ Singleton was not speeding at the time and was not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Cops say their investigation has concluded and they've determined that this was a "very, very unfortunate accident."

Singleton will not be cited for any violation.

Hunky Will Smith is currently filming "Hancock" with hottie Charlize Theron at swanky Los Angeles eatery, Cafe Pinot -- and it's putting the pinch on the staff -- big time.

In the lawsuit, filed yesterday in Federal court, Fritz Junker is accusing Arquette's movie, "The Tripper," of being a copy of his film, "The Truth About Beef Jerky." According to the lawsuit, "A reasonable audience presented with the two works would recognize 'The Tripper' to be based upon 'The Truth About Beef Jerky.'" They both sound like high-concept pieces.

Case in point: Both movies tell the story of a group of modern-day hippies who travel to the Redwood Forest of Northern California for a music festival and are hunted and killed by a psychopath who hates their dippy-trippy lifestyle. We smell Oscar!

Junker is seeking monetary compensation in an amount to be determined at trial. He claims "The Tripper" has destroyed the commercial potential of "The Jerky" and that he has suffered significant harm and injury.

Crazy-eyes Corey Feldman and his be-Botoxed trainwreck/sidekick Corey Haim have both signed on to reprise their roles in a long overdue (translation: should never be made) sequel to the 1987 teen horror flick "The Lost Boys."

The former teen heartthrobs are now way over the celebrity hill, but that hasn't stopped them from acting like little babies on their A&E reality show, the oh-so-creatively titled "The Two Coreys."
