FAN HITS STEVE CARELL WITH A CAR: Steve Carell had a brush with death recently when a fan accidentally hit him on his bike with her car. The 56-year-old made the revelation on The Ellen DeGeneres Show: “I was riding, pretty fast road. I made a turn, and I didn’t see the car behind me, and they hit me from behind. So I went up over the handlebars.” He was shocked after getting hit, and so was the fan. “The woman who was driving the car jumped out,” Carell said. “She was distraught obviously, and I went over to her, and my bike was sort of stuck under the front of her car, and she’s saying, ‘Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! It’s Steve Carell!’” He joked:”She was so excited that she hit me. It was really kind of a fun experience, a fun fan encounter.”
