Weezer’s Cuomo Suffers Lung, Spleen Injuries After Crash

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Alternative,

UPDATE: Cuomo has just been released from the hospital

One day after a terrifying crash in New York, Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo was reported to be “sitting up” and “talking clearly” in his hospital room.

The group’s lead singer and his assistant, Sarah Kim, were both injured in a Saturday morning incident that sent his tour bus down a muddy ravine about 40 miles west of Albany. The bus - also occupied by Rivers’ wife, daughter and nanny - hit a patch of ice before going through a guardrail and traveling an additional 8-10 feet down a slope.

Jennifer Lopez’s Bruised Bum

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Gossip, Performances, Pop,

Jennifer Lopez’s fall at last month’s American Music Awards left her with an injured derriere.

“I have a bruised bone. What happened was one of the dancers’ backs was slippery from sweat and lights and everything. We never bargained for that because they always had T-shirts on in rehearsal,” Lopez explained. “So they were bare-backed, didn’t have shirts on for the performance, and when I stepped on their backs my feet got wet. So when I landed, it just slipped from under me.”

So You Think You Can Dance Suffers Illness and Injury

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, So You Think You Can Dance, News, Video,

We may still be hours away from the start of So You Think You Can Dance‘s Top 20 competition, but there’s already been a change in the lineup.

Despite postponing Juilliard to appear on the show (and making Adam Shankman cry during the audition phase), contemporary dancer Billy Bell will be off the program altogether. Although the 19-year-old was seen during last night’s pre-taped showcase, an illness has forced him to end his run. He will be replaced tonight by 21-year-old Brandon Dumlao, a hip-hop dancer from California.

According to statement from Bell’s family, continuing with the competition could have meant grave consequences. “We were all very disappointed when we heard the news and Billy was devastated when his doctors told the show that if he continued to dance on the show before he recovered, he could possibly die,” it read. While a specific diagnosis was not mentioned, Us Weekly reports Billy is being treated for mononucleosis.

George Clooney’s Medical Mistake

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrity Gossip,

George Clooney‘s driver took him to a dentist when he broke his hand.

The Hollywood actor was in a great deal of pain when he slammed his digits in a car door while at his home in Lake Como, Italy, and asked his aide to drive him to see an emergency doctor. However, the driver became confused and ended up taking him to a physician who specializes in teeth.

“He drives me into town… and he takes me to a dentist. Dentist’s chair, dentist’s lamp, everything. The guy comes in, pulls the dentist’s lamp down onto my hand. He starts pulling on my fingers, which really hurts. At last, he says, ‘Hmm, I think it’s broken…’ I’m saying, ‘Is there a real doctor anywhere in here?,’” Clooney recalled.

Aerosmith’s Joe Perry Disappointed with Steven Tyler’s Setbacks

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Concerts / Tours, Gossip, Rock,

Every time I hear someone attempt “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” on American Idol, I think to myself: “I wonder what happened to Steven Tyler?” Apparently I’m not the only one asking that question these days.

Over the past year and a half, the Aerosmith lead singer has suffered a number of physical setbacks including sore feet (seriously) and a broken shoulder. (The latter problem forced a cancellation of the band’s summer tour.)

But if you’d like to know how Tyler is doing now, you shouldn’t ask Joe Perry. The guitarist hasn’t exchanged words with Steven for some time now.

VIDEO: Pink Talks About Demanding Funhouse Tour

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Videos, Pop,

Pink‘s “most physically and vocally demanding” show of her life kicked off in the United States this week in dramatic fashion.

Although the crowd in Seattle gave her a warm reception, there was one element missing from the singer’s Funhouse tour: her “Sober” trapeze act. (A stand-in took over the high-flying duties during that segment.)

Pink revealed early in the program that she had somehow separated her shoulder. (She also said that her purse and phone were recently stolen.) Despite the pain, the 30-year-old refused to cancel the concert and carried on like a professional.

Hand Injury Sidelines Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock,

Tommy Lee Kids - this is why you shouldn’t handle fireworks.

A mishap with sparklers - yes, sparklers - will keep Tommy Lee from performing in several concerts with his crew. The Motley Crue drummer suffered a burn to his left hand last week conveniently during the band’s Crue Fest 2 tour.

Thanks to bandages on Lee’s left thumb and forefinger, Sevendust’s Morgan Rose - who “came charging in like a knight in shining armor” according to Nikki Sixx - has been asked to fill in. His first performance was last Friday in Cincinnati.

“We all wanna say we’re sorry Tommy has to sit out a couple shows, but we hope to have him back up on the drums ASAP ... I think Morgan needs a standing ovation for his dedication to kicking ass and helping not only Mötley Crüe out, but the road crew and everybody else out here whose lives would (have) been [affected] ... As for now, Mötley Crüe is a five-piece band — making history, one injury at a time,” Sixx wrote on his MySpace page.

No word at this time when Lee will be able to resume playing. The tour wraps up on September 2nd.

Aerosmith Tour Canceled After Steven Tyler Fall

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Rock,

A frightening fall earlier this month has forced the cancellation of Aerosmith‘s summer tour.

On August 5, Steven Tyler and the rest of his bandmates were in Sturgis, S.D. when the lead singer - as seen in the video - took a spill off the stage. The 61-year-old was performing his signature moves when he gave the crowd more than they had bargained for. “I was doing the Tyler shuffle and then I zigged when I should have zagged ... AND I slipped, and as I live on the edge ... I fell off the edge!” Tyler recently stated.
