Han Solo has been compromised. Disney confirmed today that Harrison Ford was injured during the filming of Star Wars: Episode VII, saying via press release that the veteran actor hurt his ankle and was taken to a hospital in London. “Harrison Ford sustained an ankle injury during filming today on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII,” reads the company statement. “He was taken to a local hospital and is receiving care. Shooting will continue as planned while he recuperates.” Details are scarce, but the star – reprising his beloved role of Han Solo for the wildly anticipated follow-up – was filming a scene near the door of the Millennium Falcon when the incident occurred.

Doin’ The Butt: Swamp Eel Removed From Man’s Blow-Hole After Getting Stuck Chewing Through His Colon

Posted on April 12, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

YIKES! Imagine these up your… Eel Removed From Man’s Colon Via HuffPo reports: A man in China’s southeastern Guangdong province admitted himself to a local hospital after he reportedly got a live eel stuck inside him. According to British tabloid The Sun, the man inserted the 20-inch-long Asian swamp eel into his anus after seeing it done in a porn movie, and he had to endure all-night surgery to have it extracted. According to a HuffPost translation of a blogger’s post on Chinese message board forum Mop.com, the eel reportedly chewed through the man’s colon, perforating his large intestine, and became stuck in his body cavity. A graphic X-ray image (seen below) shows how far inside the eel was when the man came in for treatment. Medical team members reportedly said the eel, which was “simply trying to find its way out,” was alive when removed but died shortly thereafter. According to The Sun, the man is still recovering at the hospital and might face animal cruelty charges. The Asian swamp eel — also known as the rice eel or rice paddy eel — is a snake-shaped fish that is commonly sold live at food markets in East Asian countries. Although this type of eel is known as an invasive species in parts of the United States, this isn’t the first time that it’s made its way into (ahem) foreign habitats. He was trying to cop a f- eel.

PHOTO: Unruly Passenger Duct-Taped to Airplane Seat

Posted on January 6, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Duct tape. It really is good for anything, huh? An unidentified man was bound to his seat by this useful item over the weekend, after he became enraged on a flight from Reykjavik, Iceland to New York City. A fellow passenger actually captured the unusual (hilarious) scene and posted the photo on Facebook: Confirmed Michael Raucheisen, a spokesman for Iceland Air: The man’s “behavior was considered to be unruly and threatening,” with the individual “hitting, screaming and spitting at other passengers, while yelling profanities.” The man was arrested and transported to a local hospital after the flight touched down at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Raucheisen adds that the man was “monitored for his own safety for the duration of the flight” and that “duct tape and plastic zip ties are considered standard protocol when restraining a passenger.”

Mom Breastfeeds Wrong Baby After Hospital Mix-Up

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

A snafu at a Minnesota hospital this week resulted in a mom breastfeeding the wrong baby, causing awkwardness and emotional distress for all involved. The mistake occurred after a baby boy at Minneapolis’ Abbott Northwestern Hospital was placed in the wrong bassinet in the nursery, ABC News reports. As a precaution, the baby breastfed by the wrong mom was tested for HIV and hepatitis, and will receive the tests every three months for the next year. The baby has so far tested negative for both diseases . If a child is accidentally fed breast milk from a woman who is not his mother, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends HIV testing. The CDC adds that the risk of HIV transmission through breast milk is small, and the virus is not known to spread through a single bout of breastfeeding. Still, the CDC recommends women with HIV should not breastfeed their children. Neither hepatitis B nor C can be spread through breastfeeding. The baby’s mother,Tammy Van Dyke, told ABC she could not stop crying on the way home from the hospital because of the surprising event that transpired. The incident also left the mother who was accidentally breastfeeding the baby distraught, as she had to wait before hospital staff found her own baby. The hospital gave Van Dyke a letter expressing its sincerest apologies for the infant mix-up, and said it would pay for the baby’s tests going forward.

Brooke Mueller Rushed to Hospital, Rep Denies Reports of Drug Overdose

Posted on December 7, 2012 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Brooke Mueller was rushed to a Los Angeles hospital just prior to noon Pacific Time today, but her rep denies reports that drugs were to blame for the latest incident surrounding the troubled ex of Charlie Sheen. Source tell TMZ that Mueller was transported via ambulance from her home in Tarzana, with various insiders alleging they are “deeply concerned” because she has been abusing substances again for weeks. Mueller has long battled addiction and has entered rehab over a dozen times. She most recently relapsed in June and has twin boys with Sheen. HOWEVER, Brooke’s rep has released a statement that cites a different reason for this hospitalization: exhaustion. Naturally. “An assistant thought Brooke was non-responsive while she was napping and hastily called an ambulance. As a precaution, Brooke was brought to a local hospital and discharged after an hour. She was diagnosed with exhaustion and dehydration and is now fine and resting at home. That’s it.” Are you buying this, THGers? Are praying that Mueller finally gets the help she so desperately needs?

Random Ridiculousness: 64-Year-Old Man Injured In Drive-By Pumpkin Attack

Posted on November 13, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

You know how you don’t really want to laugh at old people when bad things happen to them. We think you’re allowed one good chuckle and a couple of Charlie Brown/Great Pumpkin jokes on this one. Oakmont Police are investigating after a 64-year-old man was hit in the head by a pumpkin. Police Chief David DiSanti says Rose and Daniel Wagner were walking along the 900-block of Pennsylvania Avenue at about 8:30 p.m. Wednesday when someone tossed the pumpkin from a moving car. Daniel was taken to a local hospital emergency room for treatment. His wife told KDKA-TV it doesn’t appear he had any brain injuries, but may have suffered a concussion. He’s also sore and bruised. She said it happened so fast that her husband fell face down. They didn’t realize it was a pumpkin that struck him at first. Yes, we know we’re probably going to hell for finding this a little funny. Parents, please give you kids better things to do than crystal meth. SMH . Source

Rick Ross Suffers Second Seizure on Board Second Jet

Posted on October 14, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Rick Ross has suffered his second seizure of the day, sources confirm. The rapper originally blacked out en route to a concert in Memphis, as the plane he was on made an emergency landing and medics rushed to the scene. But Ross soon awoke, claimed he was 100% and boarded a second, private jet in order to fulfill his performance date at the FedEx Forum. TMZ reports that Ross’ second plane – which took off from Fort Lauderdale around 5 p.m. EST – was diverted to Birmingham, Alabama at 5:44 CDT due to another attack. The artist was taken to a local hospital and is in stable condition. Needless to say, Ross will not be performing tonight after all. Let’s hope he gets some needed rest. [Photo: WENN.com]

Posted on February 8, 2011 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

So that’s what we’re on huh? B*tches literally DYING for some a**…damn shame. A British tourist recently died after she allegedly flew to Philadelphia to get silicone injections into her buttocks at a Hampton Inn, sources say. Police are executing a search warrant at the Hampton Inn on Bartram Avenue Tuesday afternoon with suspicions that someone is renting rooms in which he or she performs butt implant procedures, sources say. Suspicions of these hotel-room medical procedures came about after a woman visiting from England allegedly died after a butt enhancement procedure and was taken to a local hospital, according to court documents. Several women from England recently traveled to Philadelphia to receive butt-implant procedures in hotel rooms, court documents say. The Delaware County medical examiner’s autopsy is not yet complete. Listen, when the song says “shake what ya momma gave ya!” that’s exactly what they meant! In a minute they’re gonna have to change it to “shake what the doctor gave ya!” SMH. R.I.P. to this lady. Source
