Mark Wahlberg was rushed to the hospital last Friday after breathing in too much smoke on the set of his new film The Fighter. In the film, Wahlberg plays a tough guy who somehow overcomes the odds to rise to the top. Wow, he hasn't starred in a film like that in literally weeks. RadarOnline has the details:
"Mark was working on a scene [Thursday night] where a smoke machine was being used for atmosphere and apparently he breathed in too much smoke," a source tells us. "When he woke up Friday morning he was gasping for breath so he was taken to Massachusetts General Hospital where he was put on a breathing device that helped clear his lungs."
Like a real, er, Fighter, Wahlberg was released and back at work the same day.
Mark was gasping for breath and unable to speak clearly? Are they sure he wasn't just rehearsing one of his scenes? I haven't seen an actor so "wooden" since last Saturday night when I downloaded Ron Jeremy's Throbin Hood.
I know it doesn't seem like much but that piece of land just set back Mark Wahlberg $8.25 million. It's 6 acres (2 level, buildable acres) in the Beverly Park Terrace section of Beverly Hills.
NOTE: “. . . is better than you” is a Friday feature showcasing multi-million dollar celebrity homes in the hopes of generating feelings of jealousy, hatred, and animosity towards said celebrity. When you get down to the entertainment-dollar-spending core of it, you helped buy that home. Sucker!
ark Wahlberg is not pleased with Saturday Night Live for a little sketch they did about him on last week's show. He told the New York Post:
"Someone showed it to me on YouTube. It wasn't like Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin, that's for sure. And "Saturday Night Live" hasn't been funny for a long time. They've asked me to do the show a ton of times. I used to watch it when Eddie Murphy was there and Joe Piscopo and Bill Murray. I don't even know who's on the show now." (Source)
A little tip for Wahlberg: Never pick a fight with the weekly sketch show that's desperate for material. They have a lot more ammo than you. Also, never join a conga line at a gay bar if you don't want your ass slapped. You're gonna want to trust me on that last one.
