Breaking News: Paramedics Called to Brad Pitt's Home

It should have been a day of celebration for Brad Pitt. The actor turned 45 today and just wrapped shooting on Quentin Tarantino's film Inglourious Basterds.

But at aproximately 5 p.m. on Thursday evening, L.A. city paramedics and fire were called to the actor's home in the L.A. neighborhood of Los Feliz. An eyewitness said that an ambulance and a fire truck pulled up to the gate of Brad's compound and were let inside by one of his security guards. After a short 15 minute stay, paramedics left with an elderly man who was transported (and followed by Brad's security) to a local hospital. Ten minutes later, police arrived.

A spokeswoman for Los Angeles City Fire Department confirmed that they responded to a 9-1-1 call to Pitt's house.

It is not known yet if Angelina Jolie and the kids were home at the time. Brad arrived in L.A. last night from Berlin, where he's been shooting the film Inglourious Basterds.

David Copperfield Assistant Rushed to Hospital During Las Vegas Show

One of David Copperfield's magician's assistants was rushed to the hospital with a severe injury during the finale performance of his MGM Grand Las Vegas show Wednesday.

"During an illusion where David attempts to walk through the rotating blades of a 12-foot high industrial fan, the fan and its platform were being rotated by one of David's illustion technicians," the rep says. "Just prior to David himself walking through the fan, Brandon was accidentally pulled into the vortex of the moving fan blades, causing injury to his arm and face."
The Clark County Fire Department confirms that they received a call at 11:25 p.m. from the theater.

"It was reported that someone’s arm was stuck in a fan prop," Scott Allison, the fire department's spokesperson said. When paramedics arrived, the assistant's arm was free and had suffered severe bleeding.

The assistant, named Brandon (his last name is withheld for his privacy), broke his arm in multiple places.

"The surgery was several hours wherein the doctors could insert pins and bolts," the rep says. "There was a puncture on his face requiring eight or nine stitches. The Copperfield crew waited at the hospital during his arm and face surgery."

Copperfield was there when he woke up and presented him with a children's magic set to practice on during his recovery, his rep says.

"Brandon is a fantastic guy that has been with our team almost a year and is a loyal and hard-working illusion technician that is truly loved by all who know him," Copperfield said. "If he gets too good with the magic set, I’m in big trouble!"

An eyewitness to the incident said that when it happened, the audience "heard a thump."
The eyewitness adds: "One of the assistants dropped to the floor. The curtain came down partially. Blood was everywhere, and the other assistants dragged the victim back. Then the curtain closed all the way."

Shortly after, "Copperfield came out and said, 'We have an emergency and we might have to end the show...please give me two minutes.' He came back a minute later and said, 'I'm sorry, the show is over...if you want your money back, refunds will be given," says the audience member.

So You Think You Can Dance judge Mary Murphy -- who happened to be in the audience that night -- calls the moment "shocking.

"Everyone around me thought it was a joke; part of the show. But from my vantage point I could see clearly how serious it was. I pray that he is all right."

According to Copperfield's rep, Brandon is still in the hospital.

But the show will go on. "From what I've been told, David still intends to do both his shows this evening, as scheduled."

"The show will go on thanks to David’s amazing, hard-working crew, after rehearsing all day to fill in for Brandon," Copperfield's rep says.

“Many people assume that the death-defying illusions I do on stage are not dangerous," Copperfield says. "This unfortunate accident shows that couldn’t be further from the truth, and we’re just thankful that Brandon’s injuries weren’t worse.”

Copperfield's 90-minute show, "An Intimate Evening of Grand Illusion," is scheduled to run through January.

Hugh Hefner Having "Second Thoughts" About Giving Kendra Away at Wedding

Hugh Hefner says he's thinking twice about letting his ex Kendra Wilkinson get away.

"There may be a moment at the ceremony when I have second thoughts...may have to negotiate this," Hefner told E!'s Daily 10 Thursday. The Playboy mogul announced earlier that he'd be walking his ex down the aisle for her June nuptials to Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett.

(Although he must not be too torn up over losing Wilkinson: "Nothing has been the same" since the "two very lovely twins [ Karissa and Kristina Shannon, 19] walked into my life," he said.)

"We're going to have Kendra's wedding and reception at the mansiona -- spectacular affair!"

Wilkinson will officially move out the Playboy mansion this week, added Bridget Marquardt, who will serve as one of her bridesmaids (along with Holly Madison). Marquardt said she wants to assist Wilkinson in choosing a dress.

"I'm just not home that much, but I'm trying to help her out as much as possible," said Marquardt, who added that the ceremony will be filmed for their E! series.

Marquardt admitted that since Hef's new girlfriends moved in, "the feeling of the mansion is completely different. Not in a bad way, just totally different."

Jeremy Piven's Sickness Blamed On High Mercury Levels

A day after the actor abruptly announced his decision to pull out of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow on Broadway it has been revealed that Piven's diet is to blame for his apparently debilitatingly high levels of mercury.

"He was eating sushi twice a day and taking some Chinese herbs," states Dr. Carlon Colker, Piven's physician and the executive officer and medical director of Peak Wellness. "I tested his heavy metals and his mercury was amazingly, shockingly high."

Colker said that Piven's mercury levels were roughly six times the amount an average body can handle. He made the diagnosis, as well as the play-exiting recommendation, after weeks of the Entourage star complaining of fatigue, with symptoms coming to a head this week.

The doctor said that Piven experienced a dizzy spell and was unable to remember his lines, a one-two combo that apparently so worried the doc, he sent the actor to receive medical care.
"He was literally paralytic. He couldn't move after the shows."

Colker was quick to note that his recommendation to leave the play after two months, as well as Piven's decision, did not come about lightly.
"He is someone who has been acting for three decades, 17 hours a day. He's really been an iron horse, so this is unusual for him.
"He really wanted to tough this out. It's always been his dream to be on Broadway. But sometimes the risks outweigh the benefits."

The risks associated with mercury poisoning run the gamut from cardiac arrest, kidney failure, psychological problems and sometimes even death.

Piven was released from the hospital yesterday but has been ordered to significant bed rest. Colker said the actor should be back in top acting-chop form by February or early March—handily enough, around the time the new season of Entourage will begin filming.

William H. Macy, no stranger to a Mamet production, and Tony Award-winning stage vet Norbert Leo Butz will replace Piven in the play in consecutive runs through the show's close on Feb. 22.

Donald Trump Re-Gifts!

Donald Trump is guilty of Christmas re-gifting!
"Look, I've been re-gifted presents that I've given my family," Donald Trump Jr., 30, says in the Dec. 21 issue of Page Six Magazine, "They're like, 'Oh, great, thanks!' and then you end up getting it back the next year," he adds. "It's like, 'You know I gave you this last year, right?' And they're like, 'No, it's a different one!'"

Christmas in the Trump household was not "that different" than any other family's, he says, except that "we were on the top of Trump Tower.

"We'd run downstairs and jump into our parents' bed, just like everyone else," he says of his childhood. "Then we'd go over to our grandparents' place in Queens and do lunch."
Despite being worth about $2.6 billion, "The Donald" is just a normal guy, his son says.
"He's a blue-collar guy with a big balance sheet," he says. "He wants a burger, he wants to eat his turkey and bacon -- he doesn’t want to have souffles.

"He grew up in Queens, and while he may have the fancier side of his life, when it comes down to it, he just wants to watch football on the holidays," he adds.

Donald Jr. and his wife, Vanessa, say they want to make sure their 19-month-old daughter, Kai Madison, is down to earth as well.

"Vanessa and I both grew up with the understanding that we were incredibly fortunate to be in the positions that we were in," Donald Jr. says. "I think we've got to try to instill that in the generations to come."

Anne Hathaway And Kate Hudson Talk About Weddings

In the February/March issue of Modern Bride, Bride Wars stars Anne Hathaway and Kate Hudson dish about weddings.

Hathaway says her "favorite wedding moment" is when her older brother and his boyfriend got hitched a few years ago.

"At one point, he and his husband were standing up there, and my mom got up to sing," Hathaway recalls. "She was just beaming straight love into them, and everyone felt it, and it was just this really beautiful moment.

"When Mike and Josh booked the place, it was before daylight savings time, and the sun was pretty high up in the sky," she continues. "Now it was at eye level, and it was blinding! Burn-your-retina bright!

"We sent my cousin's boyfriend down to Canal Street [in New York City] with $250 to buy as many sunglasses as he could, and we put them on every other seat. Everybody just put on their sunglasses, and we have some great pictures of that!" she says. "It's all about crisis management, isn't it?"
