Angelina Jolie filming "Salt" in New York

Angelina Jolie suffered minor injuries filming a stunt for her new movie Salt in Long Island earlier today.  From Star:

Angie was taken to the hospital after bumping her head, reports TMZ. She got a cut in between her eyes which bled a little.

The star’s manager said she will be fine.

Angelina, her partner Brad Pitt and their children have been staying in Long Island while she shoots Salt, the story of a CIA officer on the run.

The film’s production company released a statement saying, “This morning while filming an action sequence… Angelina Jolie sustained a minor injury. As a precautionary measure, Ms. Jolie will be taken to the hospital and examined. Production on the film has resumed.”

So, to recap: Angelina Jolie got an itty bitty bump on the head and has a boo-boo that was most likely patched up by one of the Spongebob Squarepants bandaids that a mother of six no doubt has stashed in a pocket of her purse.  And yet Star’s website has a giant headline screaming, “Angelina Jolie Hospitalised”.  I’m so glad nobody’s panicking.

I guess even the luck of the Irish runs out sometimes — Liam Neeson’s wife of fifteen years is reportedly suffering brain damage after sustaining a massive head injury while skiing in Quebec. The Daily Mail says

Actress Natasha Richardson was critically ill with a ‘traumatic head injury’ today after a skiing accident in Canada. Richardson, 45, was injured at the Quebec resort of Mont Tremblant.

Her husband Liam Neeson, who was filming in Toronto, flew to be at her bedside.

In the immortal words of Qui-Gon Jinn, “It will be a hard life, but you will find out who you are.” Our condolences to him and his family during this difficult time.
