The actor who plays Teri Hatcher’s ’secret’ boyfriend on Desperate Housewives has been involved in a very serious motorcycle accident.

Gale Harold was injured in the accident that occurred yesterday.

There are conflicting reports as to his condition. A hospital spokesperson told TMZ that the actor is in critical condition, but his publicist is saying that he simply injured his shoulder and is in stable condition. He added, “Everyone is hopeful for a full recovery.”

Harold is being treated at the USC Medical Center, which is a sign that he is in more than ’stable’ condition.

Even though I can’t stand his character on Desperate Housewives, I do wish him the best at this time.

Us magazine met up with Travis Barker at the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles where he just had another surgery to treat the third degree burns he sustained after surviving the September 19th Learjet crash.

Travis disclosed to the magazine that being involved in a plane crash was always a fear of his.

“I hate planes. My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened - well, I’m just thankful to be alive. I’m just grateful to be here at all.”

How are you doing?

“I am doing the best I can possibly be. I’m so anxious to get out of here. …I’ve just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again. [Barker has two children, Landon, 5, and Alabama, 2, with Moakler.] I’m going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!”

After over 25 years as a vegetarian, you had to start eating meat again. Why?

“I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, ‘There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.’ So I did. I don’t regret it at all, I feel so much better.”

How much longer will you be in the hospital?

“Oh gosh, I hope not much longer. I sit here and I read books and watch TV. I think if this surgery went well, I’ll be here for at most two weeks.”

Honestly, I can’t believe anyone cares.

I hate Dancing With the Stars, it’s like the new Lawrence Welk! It’s cheesy, it’s boring and I could give a crap about most of the ’stars’ they have on the show. I know most reality shows are complete garbage, but this one is the grime in the bottom of the trashcan!

Ok, enough with my rant.

Kim Kardashian is supposedly scheduled to be on the show next season. TMZ says that Kimmy has been practicing but suffered a major setback yesterday when she cut her foot on a glass table.

No, she wasn’t dancing on glass tables, (which I wouldn’t be surprised if she was, because I really don’t think she’s that smart) it was a glass coffee table in a hotel room that got her. The cut was probably pretty deep because there was blood everywhere. Kim was rushed to the hospital where she was treated.

If you do care, here is next season’s preliminary line up.

The funny/sad thing is, while everyone is freaking out about Kim, DWTS and her foot, one of the Barenaked Ladies survived a fricking plane crash yesterday!

Ed Robertson and three passengers on a Cessna 206 crashed in Ontario, Canada at about 12:30pm. All of them were able to walk away from the scene.

Deputy fire chief Brian Sears said the passengers were very lucky to have survived the crash. He said they climbed out of a window and that none of them suffered a single scratch.

The band’s spokesperson Adam Smith stated, “Everyone is fine, and that is the important thing. That’s all the comment we have at this time.”

Stumble it!

Sad but true story.

Britney Spears‘ mother, Lynne, killed a 12-year-old child in an accident when she was just 20-years-old.

Anthony Winters was killed after Lynne rounded a corner in her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana striking the boy who was riding a bike with friends in the street. There was oncoming traffic and Lynne could not stop her car in time. She had been on her way to the hospital, taking her brother there for an injury.

Spears’ publicist, Louise Taylor, confirmed the National Enquirer article saying that Lynne is understandably still haunted by the incident and has tried to keep the tragedy out of the papers.

She added, “The boy died at the hospital as a result of his injuries. Lynne, to this day, is grieved by the Winters’ loss of their son.”

Even though William Shatner was involved in a motorcycle accident years ago he still refuses to wear protective gear while riding his motorcycle.

“I think leather, and helmets and protective gear is foolish, in the hot California weather. I ride with sandals and shorts and a t-shirt.”

Shatner recalls laying his bike down and narrowly escaping injury.

“One time, I was driving along and the bike slide from under me, and I skidded across the two lane highway. I grabbed the bike hauled it up and got back on. I had to get to Los Angeles. I had a doll to take to my grandchild. I got back on the bike and my clothes are shredded. I realized I’m bleeding.”

He says that as he tried to collect himself people driving by recognized him and some even called out to him through their car windows.

“People are driving up and college kids are yelling at me. Finally they uttered the ultimate insult, ‘Beam me up Scotty,’ so I gave them the finger.”

The Shatner don’t take no shat.

Britney Spears was involved in a minor fender bender on Saturday that involved three vehicles.

Britney was driving northbound on the 405 connector to the 101 freeway when she rear ended a Nissan at a low rate of speed, which, in turn, also hit the car in front of it.

Statement from the accident report: “The collision occurred when the driver of the Mercedes, driving in the #3 lane, in stop and go traffic failed to observe the vehicle directly ahead of her come to a complete stop. She attempted to brake but failed to stop her vehicle prior to colliding into the rear of the Nissan [in front of her].”

The man who Britney hit says that he saw Britney applying makeup moments before the impact.

No injuries were initially reported but TMZ is saying that the guy in the Nissan has complained of a sore back Sunday.
