No, the site isn’t showing old posts from years ago; it’s happened again. Madonna was hospitalized this Saturday after she fell off a horse that was startled by a paparazzo.

“The accident occurred when the horse Madonna was riding was startled by paparazzi who jumped out of the bushes to photograph the singer,” spokeswoman Liz Rosenberg tells E! News. Us Weekly first reported the spill.

The 50-year-old pop icon was released after being treated for “minor injuries and bruises” at a Southampton hospital, says Rosenberg.

A lot of people are suggesting that maybe it’s time Madge hung up her riding boots– and her insurance company probably agrees. In 2005 she broke her collarbone, split three ribs, and fractured her hand when she fell off a horse on her 47th birthday.

But for someone as tenacious as her, I can’t see her giving up that easily. You know the old saying: When you fall off a horse, hire a team of lawyers to appeal the decision in court and get the family of the horse to release media statements saying the horse keeps asking for you and wants to be your daughter.

This video was forwarded to us by a Croatian reader. Here, a contestant named Leo Pavlacic, who is known for his interesting performances, “sings” his version of Britney’s “Womanizer” on a Croatian show that’s kind of like their version of American Idol.

In addition to the creative use of shamwow’s to make a vest/mane thingy, I love the put-my-crotch-in-the-judge’s-face move at about 0:55. (I can’t tell whether she likes it or not.)

Enjoy!

Sacha Baron Cohen Bruno NC-17 Pictures Photos

When he was invited to do an interview about Austrian economics by Sacha’s character Bruno, former presidential candidate Ron Paul got more than he expected when he ended up in a “bedroom” with a pantsless Sacha Baron Cohen.

PAUL: We were in a studio situation. I wasn’t invited to a hotel room. A studio situation where they had a lot of lights burn and blaze and all kinds of commotion. They said — better get in this back room here. And all of a sudden, I was in this room, which they had it all fixed up as a bedroom. So, getting me there was sort of dishonesty. Getting me into the interview.

I was expecting an interview on Austrian economics. So, that didn’t turn out that way. But, by the time he started pulling his pants down, I, What is going on here? I ran out of the room. This interview has ended.

The footage will most likely be included in the new Bruno movie, due out later this year. When the movie is released, Paul plans to apologize to his supporters, even though that will probably just give the film free publicity… like we’re doing right now. I give him credit for not threatening legal action, though he knows the footage will probably make him look ridiculous, and could damage his credibility in the minds of some humorless constituents.

Jackie Chan Does His Best Nixon

In case you didn’t know, Jackie Chan is Chinese. He was born in British Hong Kong, but lives in China, which is a Communist country, and often makes speeches to crowds of Chinese people who are either Communists or pretending to support Communism so they don’t get thrown in jail.

I feel the need to point out these very obvious facts because the American media is highly publicizing some comments the action star made during a speech at a forum in Hainan province this weekend.

“I’m not sure if it’s good to have freedom or not,” Chan said. “I’m really confused now. If you’re too free, you’re like the way Hong Kong is now. It’s very chaotic. Taiwan is also chaotic.”

Chan added: “I’m gradually beginning to feel that we Chinese need to be controlled. If we’re not being controlled, we’ll just do what we want.”

While many people might find those comments disappointing, they shouldn’t find them shocking. Living in China means that you just might possibly believe in Communism, or at least have to act like you believe in it.

What I really found surprising were his comments about the quality of Chinese goods:

The action hero complained that Chinese goods still have too many quality problems. He became emotional when discussing contaminated milk powder that sickened tens of thousands of Chinese babies in the past year.

Speaking fast with his voice rising, Chan said, “If I need to buy a TV, I’ll definitely buy a Japanese TV. A Chinese TV might explode.”

Lisa Rinna Poses for Playboy

I’m not really sure this is something I wanted to see. I’m not really sure this is something anyone would want to see. But for good or for ill, Lisa Rinna has posed for Playboy, and the photos are available online for viewing by the discerning public, should you choose to torture yourself like that.

Honestly, she doesn’t look that bad. Playboy got creative with the lighting and the makeup, and she actually has a nice body. But the illusion just doesn’t work because we all still know that it’s Lisa Rinna.

Even if she’s naked, all I can see is a pair of giant, collagen-overloaded lips. On her face.

Rihanna has been spotted partying late into the night at several Hollywood area clubs, thus completing the post-traumatic relationship rebound  trifecta of new hair, tattoos, and partying.

The songstress was out Thursday with an entourage of 10 at new Hollywood nightclub, Halo.

RiRi arrived at 11:30, with a posse of male and female friends…

“Rihanna’s group sat in the elevated V.I.P. area, which has one-way mirrors,” an onlooker tells us. “They can look into the crowd, but the crowd can’t see them. This offers the group privacy with a hint of voyeurism.” As an additional privacy measure, the onlooker says Rihanna wore sunglasses all night.

The starlet’s group enjoyed a bottle of Grey Goose at their table. “They danced at their table the entire time they were at the club, until closing at 1:30,” says our source. “Rihanna looked very happy.”

Note to Lohan: Even when you’re trying to forget about all your problems by engaging in several late nights of drunken dancing, entire bottles of vodka are meant to be shared.

Rihanna is scheduled to make her “comeback performance” next month in Dubai.
