Being a movie star who does her own stunts can be a dangerous business, as Angelina Jolie discovered today on the set of Salt in Long Island.
The action star bumped her head while doing a stunt for the movie, resulting in a nick between the eyes, TMZ reports. She bled a little bit and was taken to the hospital.
Angie’s manager tells the site she’ll be fine.
Whew!
One night after Dancing with the Stars‘ Steve-O hurt himself during rehearsal, causing him to bow out of Monday night’s competition, the Jackass star returned in full form on Tuesday night, happy to give fans the update on his condition.
"I’m back. I really hope I stay in the competition," Steve-O told Samantha Harris. He also confirmed that there was luckily "no fracture" in his injured back.
The Jackass star was performing a back flip during rehearsals for his Salsa when he landed on his microphone pack, injuring his already hurt back.
Welcome back Steve-O!
The curse of ABC’s Dancing with the Stars continues! On Monday night, an already injured Steve-O added serious insult to… well, you know, when he landed on his microphone pack making his already injured back much worse only two hours before the show, forcing him to bow out of tonight’s competition and head to the hospital.
The judges were forced to score Steve-O’s dress rehearsal footage — a first in DWTS history! He received a meager score of 14. Host Tom Bergeron told viewers, "Steve-O hopes to be back." Partner Lacey Schwimmer told OK!, "Nothing’s broken."
Update: Producers have confirmed that Steve-O has been released from the hospital and is resting. He is expected to continue in the competition.
Natasha Richardson, wife of actor Liam Neeson and daughter to legendary actress Vanessa Redgrave, has reportedly been injured while skiing in Canada.
IrishCentral.com is reporting that Richardson suffered a brain injury and is in critical condition at a Montreal hospital. She was gearing up to co-star with her mother in a Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music. No word on whether Neeson is by her side. Redgrave and Richardson most recently starred as mother and daughter in the film Evening, also starring Claire Danes and Toni Collette.
Actor Daniel Radcliffe made a sobering visit to the hospital yesterday to visit his stunt double, David Holmes, who suffered spinal injuries while rehearsing for the latest Harry Potter movie, says UK paper The Daily Mail.
Tom Felton, who plays Draco Malfoy in the series of movies, accompanied Daniel to the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in London to support the stuntman, who fell to the ground on Jan. 28 while practicing a flying scene for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows.
The actors appeared shaken upon leaving the hospital, and with due cause – Holmes has been Daniel’s body double for all of the Harry Potter movies, and the injuries to his spine could cause paralysis.
Daniel, who was in NYC at the time of the accident, has spoken highly of his double before, calling him an amazing gymanst and saying, I do the majority of the stunts but there are some where it’s too high a risk."
Apparently, sometimes when man pits himself against nature, nature wins: Bear Grylls, host of the popular Discovery Channel show Man vs. Wild, injured his shoulder during an expedition in Antarctica.
The outdoorsman was working on a project promoting alternative energies sponsored by biofuel company Ethanol Ventures, the New Zealand Herald reported, when he hurt his shoulder. He’s been flown home to England to have his injury treated.
On Man vs. Wild, Bear takes on wildlife destinations that present a survival risk for tourists and shows how to navigate them safely.
These days it seems like Shia LaBeouf can’t help but get injured: after a car accident in July left him with a hurt hand requiring multiple surgeries, the Eagle Eye actor has been injured again on the set of Transformers.
According to TMZ, Shi was injured by a prop on set, resulting in a cut below his eyebrow that needed stitches. But apparently it takes a lot more to stop the young actor, as he reportedly went right back to work.
When TMZ contacted Shia’s rep, however, their only comment was "No comment."
The likelihood of getting injured on set is higher for Shia, as he’s admitted in the past that he did his own hard physical stunts for Eagle Eye.
Take it easy, Shia!
While a shoulder injury prompted tennis beauty Maria Sharapova to skip this year’s Olympics in Beijing, she’s keeping busy and "absolutely" hopes to compete in the 2012 games
"It’s disappointing, of course, but I’m not sitting at home watching TV with popcorn in my hand and munching on things," she tells OK! at the launch of Canon PowerShot Diamond Collection Wednesday in N.Y.C. "I’m doing things that are productive and I’ve been able to do things that I never have the chance sometimes to do, which has made the experience much more fun."
The young athlete has many more years to compete – she’s only 21 – but even when it’s time to hang up her racquet, she won’t be sitting still. Fifteen years from now, Maria says she wants to be "with a family, relaxed and retired but meanwhile still running around, doing things."
Off the court Maria is known for her fresh look and sleek style. Her best beauty tip? "Less is much, much more," she advises.
While she won’t say whether or not the low maintenance approach has helped her net that lucky someone, she does confess that the right guy doesn’t necessarily have to have a killer backhand.
"Just like any other woman, I want them to be their normal self, I want them to have their own life and to respect the business that I’m in," she says.
Of course, a little practice on the court couldn’t hurt your chances.
