Wrestler Randy ‘Macho Man’ Savage Dies In Car Accident

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 20th, 2011

Legendary wrestler Randy Savage, otherwise known as ‘Macho Man,’ has died today in a car accident in Tampa, Florida, TMZ reports.

Savage’s brother, Lanny Poffo, said Savage suffered a heart attack while he was behind the wheel around 9:25 AM, causing him to lose control of his vehicle.

Savage was driving his 2009 Jeep Wrangler when he veered across a concrete median through oncoming traffic and “collided head-on with a tree.” Savage was then transported to Largo Medical center, where he died from his injuries.

His wife was a passenger in the vehicle during the collision  but survived with “minor injuries.” She was transported to a different local hospital where she was treated.  Randy and Lynn were both wearing their seatbelts at the time of the accident.

‘Macho Man’ began wrestling in the WWF in 1985 and became a superstar with his trademark catchphrase “Ooooooh Yeaahhhhh.” Savage was also the famous spokesperson for Slim Jim in the mid ’90s.

Savage survived by his new wife Lynn, whom he celebrated his 1-year anniversary with this year. Savage was 58.

‘Mad Men’ Star, January Jones, Flees Scene after Car Accident

Posted by Jacob Morris on June 11th, 2010

After watching the Lakers lose Thursday night, Mad Man star, January Jones, got into a car accident while driving home, reports TMZ.

The LAPD tells TMZ that Jones had been watching the game at a hotel and on her way back home several paparazzi began trailing her and she ended up driving her car straight into three other parked vehicles.

Jones then allegedly left the scene, leaving her license behind and walking to her house nearby to call the police.  She was told that the police had arrived, and so she went back to the location of the accident.  Jones says that the reason she fled was because the paparazzi were harassing her.

No arrest was made and no drugs or alcohol were suspected to have been involved.  Also, the police have said that this will not be treated as a hit-and-run investigation.

Where is Tiger Woods?

Posted by andPOP Staff on January 4th, 2010

There have been many theories about where exactly Tiger Woods is hiding out. Some people have suggested Florida, on a boat, California, Arizona, etc. etc. It’s getting to the point that it feels like playing “Where’s Waldo.” Now TMZ is reporting that the pro golfer is hiding out in Africa? Sources tell TMZ that right after the car accident occurred, Woods had already planned to head to Africa and stay at a friend’s estate. We feel that this theory is just as truthful or untruthful as any of the other theories.

Posted by Stephen Baldwin on December 1st, 2009

Tiger WoodsAmid talks of adultery and romance rumours, Tiger Woods’ biggest concern was the Florida police…that’s no longer the case.

After smashing up his Cadillac Escalade near his Orlando estate, the Florida Highway Patrol is penalizing Woods with a careless driving ticket that will cost him $164. The multi-millionaire golfer spends more than that on a meal.

Florida Police also failed to obtain a search warrant to uncover any alternative causes of the accident, not having sufficient evidence to back it up.

Larry King Gets Sued

Posted by Vanessa Baker on September 22nd, 2009

Larry KingTalk-show host Larry King’s company, Larry King Enterprises, and his driver and are being sued over a fender bender that happened in November 2008, reports TMZ. The two plaintiffs are suing for in excess of $50,000 in damages for injuries they allegedly suffered in the accident.

“This is a completely frivolous and fraudulent lawsuit,” said King’s wife, Shawn Southwick. “There was zero damage to both cars. Our driver has an excellent record and is extremely responsible. At the time of the incident, the people got out of the car, and they were completely fine. Our driver checked to see if they were okay. We have witnesses who will confirm that. They exchanged insurance information, and as soon as they saw Larry King Enterprises, they decided to go for what they assumed are deep pockets. These people went to an ambulance chaser for an attorney, and as though they were filling out a form to get the maximum amount of money they could, checked off every box possible. In return, they will be on the receiving end of a big, fat lawsuit.”

A court date is scheduled for December.

Morgan Freeman in Serious Car Accident

Posted by andPOP Staff on August 5th, 2008

Is there a “Dark Knight” curse?

Morgan Freeman is the latest star of the blockbuster Batman film to hit a serious speed bump in his life. He was involved in a car accident in Mississippi on Monday which flipped his car several times, leaving him trapped.

The Jaws of Life were used to free him. Freeman was said to be lucid while he was being extracted from the wreck. “He was talking, joking with some of the rescue workers at one point,” said Clay McFerrin, editor of the Sun Sentinel in Charleston.

The actor broke both his arm and elbow, and damaged his shoulder.

Freeman’s co-star Heath Ledger died shortly after the film was completed, and Christian Bale was recently investigated for a violent altercation with his own mother and sister.

Perez Hilton reports that police are investigating the Graziano family, and have listened to the voicemails.

Meanwhile, Nick Hogan has been releasing statements about how upsetting it is for him to be in jail, and both Hogan parents have taken on much younger lovers. There seems to be no end to their drama.
