Jeremy Renner lleva un dispositivo de compresión en la pierna un año después de su accidente

Published | Updated

Jeremy Renner interpreta a Ojo de Halcón, pero la estrella de "Los Vengadores" se parecía más a Iron Man mientras viajaba por el aeropuerto JFK de Nueva York, gracias a un dispositivo de compresión que tiene que llevar casi un año después de su terible accidente con un quitanieves.

El actor llevaba dos dispositivos que se utilizan para mejorar el flujo sanguíneo y reducir el dolor y la hinchazón en la parte inferior de sus piernas.

Aunque, Jeremy ya ha recorrido un largo camino desde que milagrosamente sobrevivió a la terrible experiencia de ser aplastado por su quitanieves el día de Año Nuevo.

Además de sus huesos rotos, también sufrió un colapso pulmonar y se perforó el hígado, pero desafió las probabilidades solo diez semanas más tarde ya que comenzó a caminar con la ayuda de un bastón.

Las imágenes de video capturaron el horror del accidente, con un equipo de médicos corriendo para salvar su vida antes de que finalmente fue trasladado por vía aérea al hospital en estado crítico.

Además de la actuación de los socorristas, Jeremy le declaró meses después a Jimmy Kimmel que su supervivencia se debió a la suerte.

Bueno, desafiar las probabilidades se ve muy bien ahora que se acerca el aniversario de su terrible experiencia.

JEREMY RENNER Wired Up, Ready to Fly with Device ... Helps Recovery 1 Yr. Later

Published | Updated

Jeremy Renner plays Hawkeye, but 'The Avengers' star looked more like Iron Man while traveling through NYC's JFK Airport ... thanks to a compression device he has to wear nearly 1 year after his horrific snowplow accident.

The actor wore 2 of the devices -- used to improve blood flow and reduce pain and swelling -- strapped to his lower legs ... along with some warm winter threads during his Wednesday travel plans.

Though, Jeremy has already come a long way since miraculously surviving the ordeal of being crushed by his snowplow on New Year's Day.

As well as his broken bones, he also suffered a collapsed lung and punctured liver ... but defied the odds a mere 10 weeks later as he began to walk with the aid of a cane.

Video footage captured the horror of the accident ... with a team of medics racing to save his life before he was eventually airlifted to the hospital in critical condition.

As well as the actions of the first responders, Jeremy told Jimmy Kimmel months later that his survival was down to pure luck.

Well, defying the odds looks great on him as he approaches the anniversary of his ordeal.

Actor de "Mi Pobre Angelito" se opera de cáncer

Published | Updated

Ken Hudson Campbell, que interpretó a Papá Noel en "Mi pobre Angelito", espera un milagro navideño luego de poner en marcha un GoFundMe para pedir ayuda tras su reciente diagnóstico de cáncer.

Campbell  —que también ha aparecido en otros clásicos queridos durante sus 35 años de carrera como "El día de la marmota" y "Armageddon"— fue diagnosticado a finales de octubre después de que un tumor "elusivamente creciera en la parte inferior de su boca y comenzara a invadir sus dientes".

La declaración en el GoFundMe dice que está programada una cirugía de 10 horas para extirpar el tumor el jueves, procedimiento que también eliminará una gran parte de su mandíbula.

Además, se someterá a cirugía reconstructiva y rondas de radiación y quimioterapia y tendrá un largo período de recuperación de 6 meses.

Desafortunadamente, Ken perdió su seguro de salud SAG-AFTRA en enero de 2022 tras la pandemia y aunque ha encontrado un nuevo seguro, todavía se prevén importantes gastos de bolsillo, de ahí el GFM.

Al momento de escribir esto, ha alcanzado un poco más de $58K de su objetivo de $100K.

La declaración hace hincapié en que la cirugía podría afectar a su empleabilidad futura, añadiendo: "Pedimos tu ayuda para que Kenny pueda aprovechar el tiempo que le queda para recuperar la salud y pasar más tiempo con su familia y amigos".

'HOME ALONE' ACTOR Ken Hudson Campbell Set For Cancer Surgery STARTS GOFUNDME OVER SKY-HIGH COSTS

Published | Updated

Ken Hudson Campbell -- who played Santa in "Home Alone" -- is hoping for a Christmas miracle ... after kickstarting a GoFundMe for help after his recent cancer diagnosis.

Campbell -- who's also appeared in other beloved classics such as "Groundhog Day" and "Armageddon" during his 35-year career span -- was diagnosed in late Oct after a tumor "elusively grew on the bottom of his mouth and began encroaching on his teeth."

The statement on the GoFundMe says he's scheduled for a 10-hour surgery to remove the tumor Thursday ... which will also remove a large part of his jawbone.

Additionally, he'll undergo reconstructive surgery and rounds of radiation and chemo ... with a lengthy 6-month recovery period.

Unfortunately, Ken lost his SAG-AFTRA health insurance in Jan 2022 following the pandemic ... and even though he's found new insurance, substantial out-of-pocket costs are still anticipated -- hence the GFM.

At the time of writing, it has reached a little over $58K of its $100K goal.

The statement emphasizes the surgery could affect his future employability ... adding: "We're asking for your help so that Kenny can use the time ahead to return to health, and spend more time with family & friends."

Cowboys Coach Mike McCarthy Undergoing Appendix Surgery ... Eagles Game Status In Question

Published | Updated

The Dallas Cowboys might be without their head coach for their huge matchup with the Eagles this weekend ... 'cause the team says Mike McCarthy is slated to undergo surgery later Wednesday that could keep him from the sidelines on Sunday.

The Cowboys revealed McCarthy will have a procedure on his appendix after he was diagnosed with acute appendicitis following some abdominal pain he was suffering from earlier Wednesday morning.

The team says the 60-year-old is scheduled to be released from the hospital before sunrise Thursday ... and, somehow, he "anticipates coaching" against Philadelphia -- this despite kickoff being roughly 100 hours away.

While he's out, the Cowboys say their three coordinators will run team practices.

Of course, it'd be a big blow for the Cowboys if McCarthy cannot ultimately make it to AT&T Stadium ... because, after all, the contest is quite possibly the biggest regular season game the team has had in the last few years.

If Dallas wins, both teams will sit atop the NFC East with 10-3 records. If it loses, however, it will not only be two games behind Philly in the standings, it will also lose out in a tiebreaker scenario.

Kickoff is slated for 5:20 PM.

Britney Spears publica una foto con su padre luego de la noticia de su amputación

Published | Updated

Britney Spears se siente nostálgica acerca de su, padre Jamie Spears, y es la última señal de que está calentando a la idea de una reconciliación padre e hija.

La cantante publicó una serie de fotos de la familia el martes, la mayoría mostrandola a ella llevando a sus hijos ahora adolescentes cuando eran mucho más jóvenes, pero una muestra a Jamie junto a Brit, sosteniendo la lonchera de su nieto y una caja de jugo.

Britney no título las fotos, pero como te dijimos, ella está abriendo la puerta a la posibilidad de llegar a su padre, por lo que la foto podría ser una pista de que todo va por buen camino.

TMZ publicó la historia; los médicos tuvieron que amputar una de las piernas de Jamie después de 5 cirugías sin éxito para combatir una infección masiva. Además de su mal estado de salud, Jamie ha tenido que hacerle frente a la avalancha de críticas sobre su manejo de la tutela de Britney, con la cantante criticándolo públicamente en redes sociales.

Sin embargo, nos dijeron que la estrella se ablandó respecto a él recientemente, incluso diciendo que lo ha echado de menos a veces y consideró enviarle dinero para ayudarlo a salir.

Nos dicen que Jamie está totalmente abierto a volver a conectar con su hija, y nada le encantaría más que estar en buenos términos de nuevo con ella.

Como ya sabemos, también se lleva bien con mamá (Lynne), quien voló para la fiesta de cumpleaños número 42 de Britney el fin de semana y también se comunica con su hermana, Jamie Lynn.

Aunque las circunstancias que rodean la posible reconciliación no son las mejores... parece que para Britney la familia es lo primero en tiempos de crisis.

BRITNEY SPEARS Good Ol' Days with Dad & My Kids ... Posts Throwback Pics After Amputation News

Published | Updated

Britney Spears is feeling nostalgic about family, including her dad Jamie Spears, and it's the latest sign she's warming to the idea of a father/daughter reconciliation.

The singer posted a slew of throwback family snaps Tuesday -- most showing her carrying her now-teenage sons when they were much younger, but one also shows Jamie next to Brit ... holding his grandson's lunchbox and a juice box.

Britney didn't caption the photos, but as we told you, she's opening the door to the possibility of reaching out to her father -- so, the pic could be seen as her extending an olive branch to Jamie.

TMZ broke the story ... doctors had to amputate one of Jamie's legs after 5 unsuccessful surgeries to combat a massive infection. In addition to his ailing health, Jamie's had to cope with the barrage of criticism over his handling of Britney's conservatorship -- with the singer publicly blasting him on social media herself.

However, we were told the star softened towards him recently ... even missing him sometimes and considered sending him money to help him out.

We're told Jamie's totally open to reconnecting with his daughter, and would love nothing more than to be on good terms again with Brit.

As you know, she's also been getting along with mom Lynne, who flew out for Britney's 42nd birthday bash over the weekend and she's also communicating with sister Jamie Lynn.

While the circumstances surrounding the prospective reconciliation aren't the best ... it seems that for Britney, family comes first in times of crisis.

Jamie Spears Leg Amputated After Infection ... Britney Warming toward Reconciliation

Published | Updated

Britney Spears' dad, Jamie Spears, had his leg amputated a month ago, TMZ has learned, and we're told there is hope for a father/daughter reconciliation.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ, Jamie had a massive infection in one of his legs that landed him in a hospital for weeks. He had 5 unsuccessful surgeries to contain the infection, and doctors decided the only way to proceed was amputation.

Jamie is not doing well. He's had other ailments and has been downcast amid the torrent of criticism over his handling of the conservatorship ... something he thinks is terribly unfair. Remember, Jamie is the one who moved from Louisiana to care for his daughter back in 2007. Lots of people who were involved back then say Jamie may have saved Britney's life.

Now here's the interesting twist. Our sources say Britney has softened toward her dad recently. There have been times when she's said she misses her dad, and once even talked about sending him money to help him out.

Britney also invited Jamie Lynn to the party, although she was out of town and couldn't attend. BTW, we know Britney is communicating with her sister. Her brother Bryan did join in the fun over the weekend.

MERRY ELFIN' CHRISTMAS!!!

Our sources say Britney misses her family and now that she's told her truth in her memoir, she wants to reconnect. Jamie would be the last piece of that puzzle.

What's interesting ... whether reestablishing a relationship with her dad would have an impact on the legal action in play over allegations over the conservatorship.

Stay tuned.

El padre de Britney Spears sufrió la amputación de una pierna Britney se acerca a la reconciliación

Published | Updated

El padre de Britney Spears, Jamie Spears, tuvo su pierna amputada hace un mes, TMZ descubrió que hay esperanza para una reconciliación entre padre e hija.

Fuentes directas le dicen a TMZ que Jamie tenía una infección masiva en una de sus piernas que lo llevó al hospital durante semanas. Tuvo 5 cirugías sin éxito para contener la infección y los médicos decidieron que la única manera de proceder era la amputación.

Jamie no se encuentra bien. Ha tenido otras dolencias y se ha mostrado abatido en medio del torrente de críticas por su gestión de la tutela, algo que considera terriblemente injusto. Recordemos que fue Jamie quien se trasladó desde Luisiana para cuidar de su hija en 2007. Muchas personas que estuvieron involucradas en ese entonces dijeron que Jamie pudo haber salvado la vida de Britney.

Ahora, aquí está el giro interesante, nuestras fuentes dicen que Britney se ha suavizado hacia su padre recientemente. Ha habido momentos en los que ha dicho que echa de menos a su padre e incluso una vez habló de enviarle dinero para ayudarle.

En cuanto a Jamie, nuestras fuentes dicen que no hay nada que preferiría más que tener que una reconciliación con su hija y no alberga mala voluntad.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Britney echa de menos a su familia y ahora que ha dicho su verdad (en sus memorias), quiere reconectar. Jamie sería la última pieza de ese puzzle.

Kelly Oubre Jr. Breaks Silence On Accident ... Expected To Return Wed

Published | Updated

Kelly Oubre Jr. is finally speaking out about the hit-and-run accident that left him with serious injuries last month ... speaking with media in Philly ahead of his return to the basketball court on Wednesday.

Remember, the Philadelphia 76ers forward hasn't played any basketball since he suffered a broken rib, in addition to hip and leg injuries, after he was struck by a vehicle on November 11.

The 27-year-old has kept quiet about the incident ... until now, as he's been cleared to play and is expected to be available against the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.

"First and foremost before anything, I just want to say thank you to my family and my friends, the 76ers organization, especially coach [Nick] Nurse, for the utmost support throughout this whole process," Oubre said to the media on Monday.

"I’ve spoken to the police about this situation and they have an ongoing investigation. So I’ve spoken to who I need to speak to about it and I keep that where that is. I won’t be speaking on any details about that because they’re looking into it."

Even with all the injuries, Oubre says he does not have any ill will towards the driver, saying he's always about "love and peace".

Kelly also addressed rumors he made up the incident.

"I'm just really blessed that it wasn't worse than what it is and that I'm able to come back to work and smile, walk, talk, and breathe," Oubre said. "So yeah, that's what I have to say about the conspiracy theorists."

WALKING WOUNDED

Remember, TMZ Sports posted video, with permission, showing Oubre returning home after the accident, clearly in a great deal of pain. His wife immediately called 911, and Oubre was rushed to the hospital.

Oubre -- who signed a 1-year, $2.9 million deal with the 76ers in September -- was averaging 16.3 points and 5 rebounds a game before the incident.

NFL Official Suffered Dislocated Knee, Broken Fibula ... In Collision With Kamara

Published | Updated

UPDATE

2:35 PM PT -- Nick Piazza -- the NFL official who went down with an injury following the collision with Alvin Kamara -- suffered a dislocated knee as well as a fractured fibula.

But, thankfully, his blood vessels remained intact, according to New Orleans Saints writer John DeShazier.

DeShazier added that surgery for Piazza is likely to happen next week.

An NFL official had to be taken off the field on Sunday on a stretcher ... after he suffered a gruesome leg injury following a sideline collision with Alvin Kamara.

The play happened in the second quarter of the Saints' matchup with the Lions in New Orleans ... when Kamara took a pitch from Derek Carr and accelerated toward the first-down marker.

On his way, though, a Detroit defender shoved him out of bounds ... and when he went crashing toward the turf, his momentum carried him right into the knee of a game official.

The sideline worker crumpled in pain as soon as Kamara hit him ... and broadcast cameras showed his leg had bent awkwardly inward as a result of the hit.

Trainers eventually raced to his aid ... and strapped him to a backboard -- before carting him away from the field for further treatment.

The NFL has not yet released an update on his condition as of Monday morning.

Kamara and the Saints, meanwhile, were able to try to mount a comeback despite the gruesome scene at the Superdome ... but they ultimately lost to Detroit, 33-28.

La estrella de "Supernatural", Mark Sheppard, estuvo a un paso de la muerte el viernes, luego de sufrir no uno, sino SEIS ataques al corazón. Los paramédicos tuvieron que traerlo de vuelta a la vida.

En cuanto a su estado, otro susto... "Me siento muy bien. Humillado una vez más. Mañana en casa!"

Britney Spears Su madre Lynne la ve irse Después de un susto de cumpleaños con su perro

Published | Updated

Actualización

2:40 PM PT -- Aquí está la prueba fotográfica de que la relación de Britney y su madre se está reparando, porque su mamá estuvo de hecho en la fiesta de cumpleaños de su hija, y al parecer pasó la noche también.

Estas fotos fueron tomadas el sábado y muestran a Brit saliendo de la casa de su manager en Los Ángeles, y no lo habrían imaginado, Lynne Spears aparece despidiendo a su hija mientras sale en un SUV.

Se puede ver a Britney diciéndole adiós a Cade mientras la escolta hasta el vehículo, y muy claramente en el fondo, a su madre, mirando. Ya nos habían dicho que Lynne asistió la noche anterior, así que verla allí al día siguiente es bastante revelador.

Como saben, ambas han tenido muchas peleas en los últimos años, incluyendo algunas últimamente, sobre todo después de que Britney publicara sus memorias. Todo está bien ahora... o eso parece.

10:25 AM PT -- Fuentes le dicen a TMZ que el perro de Britney se encuentra bien. Solo se lastimó una pata y tuvo que ser llevado para que lo revisaran, pero nos dicen que todo está bien con el perro.

Además, nos dicen que la madre de Britney, Lynne, estuvo allí celebrando el cumpleaños de su hija y las fuentes nos dicen que se llevaron muy bien.

Britney Spears se puso de mal humor el viernes por la noche, después de que su perro tuviera una aparente emergencia médica, según ha indagado TMZ.

Britney estaba celebrando la previa a su cumpleaños en Los Ángeles en la casa de su manager y mejor amigo Cade Hudson, junto con su hermano Bryan y varios otros. La cantante cumplió 42 años hoy.

A las 2 AM, Britney, Cade y Bryan salieron de la casa de Cade y se subieron a un carro. Un fotógrafo de la agencia que se encontraba en el lugar dice que llevaba a su perro en el vehículo y que se dirigieron rápidamente a una clínica veterinaria abierta las 24 horas. Nunca vemos al perro, pero el fotógrafo afirma que lo llevaron con ellos.

Britney y su equipo se dirigió entonces a una gasolinera en Sunset Strip y por las fotos se puede ver que se trataba de algún tipo de emergencia. Cade está en pijama y sin zapatos.

Luego volvieron al veterinario y no está claro si tenían al perro cuando se fueron.

Bryan parece ser el único miembro de la familia con el que Britney mantiene una relación cara a cara. Ha estado con ella con bastante regularidad en los últimos meses.
