Car accidents seem to be the theme of the week. Yesterday it was revealed that Brandy caused a huge pile-up in late December that killed a woman. Today news came out that Nicole Kidman was in a car accident late last night while shooting a scene for her latest film, The Invasion, in downtown Los Angeles. Kidman's car was being towed behind a stunt driver when the driver lost control:
At around 11 p.m., the stunt driver operating the rig skidded while taking a corner at roughly 45 mph, causing Kidman's car to hit a poll and knock over a garbage can. Both the actress and her costar, 10-year-old Jackson Bond, who was riding in the front passenger seat, were wearing seat belts. Members of the crew immediately wrapped a blanket around Kidman and paramedics arrived to check the actress for injuries. Kidman, 39, was taken to Cedars Sinai Medical Center in an SUV, and was released within two hours. Sources tell Us that the actress was in shock and took a long break, but eventually resumed filming later that night.
Damn. Nicole Kidman is hardcore. There's no just no other way to describe someone being taken to the hospital after a car accident and then returning to the set at 1 AM to resume filming. If I get so much as a papercut at work I'll take the rest of the day off. Like yesterday I got a papercut while I was nailing the boss' daughter on his desk. He walked in on us and told me to go home early. And then he gave me the rest of the month off. Awesome!
