Alec Baldwin and his wife Hilaria, who had their baby son Rafael strapped to her chest, were walking down the street in Manhattan when a man suddenly fell to the pavement. The Baldwins immediately stopped to help the man. 911 was called and Hilaria put Rafael’s baby blanket under the man’s head as they waited for paramedics. Nice to see that the Baldwins are concerned citizens.

Later in Malibu, while Woody Allen was directing Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart on the beach, he slipped on some rocks and took a tumble. Coworkers panicked and helped him up – he seemed to be ok and continued to work. Woody appears to be an inspired workaholic and he writes and directs one movie after another.

Nice to see Lauren Scruggs out and having a good time at Chateau Marmont with her new husband. Four years ago the young model/fashion blogger from Texas lost her left eye and arm in an airplane propeller accident. Luckily, the 26 year old has a supportive mother who helped her survive the trauma. In December, Lauren married E! news correspondent Jason Kennedy and she wrote a book about her survival and “new reality.”

We do feel awful for bodybuilder Greg Plitt’s parents because his fatal train accident never should have happened. His devastated family was consoled by the fact that Greg’s many friends reached out and his Beverly Hills memorial service Saturday was packed with people. However there was a buzz through the crowd that this story is not over. Apparently there IS a lurid video of Greg’s accident and it is expected to appear on the internet.
Charlotte Casiraghi, 27, (she’s Princess Caroline’s daughter) is a classic beauty in her Gucci riding apparel as she competes at the Paris Eiffel Jumping Event. She has her own riding collection at Gucci. Charlotte started the competition right with this fabulous photo, but the day didn’t end well. During a jump she fell off her horse and had to be taken to the hospital for x-rays.

What a nice ending to a potentially sad story. Ashley Judd and her Scottish race car driver husband Dario Franchitti are back together after separating in January. And it’s all because of his racing accident. Last month he had a devastating crash and Ashley rushed to his side in the hospital. He recovered slowly and doctors advised him not to drive again. Instead of being foolish, he decided to retire from racing. That’s exactly what Ashley hoped for, and they are a happy couple again.

This is the day for 80’s pop star stories. George Michael, who has a history of passing out in cars and DUIs is no longer allowed to drive. Does that keep him safe? No way. According to The Daily Mail, he was just hospitalized after FALLING OUT of the passenger side of a car going 70 mph on a highway in London! George’s friend who was driving, nonchalantly explained that the door was ajar and George was trying to close it properly when he fell out! Luckily, horrified drivers behind him swerved around George, who was lying on the road with a bloody face. He was airlifted to a hospital with a head injury but is said to be recovering nicely.

Here we go with the BLAME BLAME BLAME again. The devastating death of young photographer Chris Guerra cannot be blamed on Justin Bieber, whose car he was following, OR on the lack of paparazzi laws. Bieber’s friend, who was driving the Ferrari, was pulled over for speeding, NOT the paparazzi. When Guerra stopped and attempted to photograph the cops ticketing the driver (whom he believed to be Justin) they told him to get back to his car across the street. Sadly, the distracted photographer didn’t think and walked into traffic where he was hit by a car. We side with the paparazzi – it’s not fair or necessary to legislate anti-paparazzi laws. Speeding and reckless driving are already against the law for everyone. We’ve never understood why celebrities try to out-speed paparazzi – no one is trying to kill them. The photographer in this case did no wrong and put HIMSELF in harm’s way.

Tori Spelling slammed her car into a wall at her child’s school today and of course she tweeted and blamed a paparazzi. We simply cannot understand how someone can “fear” a man with a camera they way they might fear a Crip with a handgun. Photographers are pushy, sometimes rude, but only dangerous when there are a pack of them and they’re fighting with each other. Tori has cultivated publicity all her life and chooses to have her family on a reality show. Are we supposed to believe that she lives in terror of paparazzi? It’s more plausable that Tori was talking on her cell phone to her publicist when she had the accident.
Tori Spelling even turns her husband’s release from the hospital into a photo op! We had to laugh when we saw these very calculated pictures of Tori rolling her husband Dean McDermott’s wheelchair out of the hospital. The balloons and placement of the kids make a great photo. Dean had an accident while dirt bike riding with his buddies last week and suffered a nasty puncture wound on his right side. He did vow to quit the risky sport. Another family that loves the limelight.
