UPDATE: According to the New York Post, Richardson is reportedly brain dead. She is being flown to New York so that family members can say goodbye.
Parent Trap star Natasha Richardson was severely injured late Monday afternoon.
The 45-year-old actress had been skiing in Montreal when she was somehow involved in an accident.

Some media outlets have described Natasha’s status as severe while others are listing her as critical.
According to IrishCentral.com, Richardson’s husband, Liam Neeson (Taken), had been filming in the Toronto area at the time of the incident. A rep for his movie, Chloe, told a Canadian station that Neeson immediately left the set to be with her.
The Tony Award winner had been scheduled to appear with her mother, Vanessa Redgrave, in a Broadway revival of Stephen Sondheim’s A Little Night Music. In addition to starring in Nell with Neeson, Natasha’s other film credits include Maid in Manhattan and Evening.

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Legal Issues,
The drama for Rihanna and Chris Brown continues one day after their Grammy Awards cancellations. Here is where things stand at this point:
- The $50,0000 bail Chris posted might not be the only financial hit the singer takes. Although the company has not completely severed ties with the 19-year-old, Wrigley has decided to pull the Doublemint Gum commercials featuring Brown. (Too bad they missed the one that actually aired during the Grammys yesterday.) A company spokesman told Us that they are waiting to see how things play out. “We believe Mr. Brown should be afforded the same due process as any citizen,” the rep explained.

DJ AM Steps Out in Public for Memorial Service
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music,
Three days after being released from the hospital, DJ AM (a.k.a. Adam Goldstein) attended the funeral for Chris Baker. Baker, one of the four victims from September 20’s crash, was Travis Barker’s close friend and assistant.
Although Goldstein’s burns were mostly covered, injuries to his neck were still visible underneath his green polo. (The attendees were asked to wear Chris’ favorite color to Monday’s service.)
Travis, who was also released from the Georgia hospital yesterday, was unfortunately not able to pay his respects his person. The former Blink-182 drummer, who now (understandably) refuses to fly, is currently en route back to LA via a bus.
