You think after nearly dying on a jet ski, Sean Kinston would take a break from the dangerous machines. However, Kingston insists that he will get another one soon.

Talking to Ryan Seacrest, Kingston said, “I’m gonna go on another jet-ski… I was new to the area; I had just moved to the island and I didn’t know about the tides, I didn’t know about anything like that. It happened to me because I chose to ride around in that area, but there’s so much water that I could have chosen to ride around on.”

Well – at least the guy has a hobby.

Charlie Sheen was injured today while taking practice at Chase Field, home of the Arizona Diamondbacks.

‘Panic At The Disco’ frontman Brendon Urie broke his ankle onstage Sunday night, reports Billboard.

The lead singer apparently broke his ankle when he tried to climb back onstage after roaming through the crowd. The concert was held in in Pompano Beach, Fla.

The injury apparently didn’t phase Urie, though. The lead singer even took off his boot and showed the crowd his injury.

“There’s like a softball in my ankle,” he said, then grabbing his guitar to play the next song. Talk about dedication. He eventually got an ice pack for his ankle and wrapped it around his leg, though, hopping on one foot for the last bit of the show.

“Thank you to everyone who sang with us tonight at the show! Here’s how it ended for me,” Urie wrote on Twitter, then sharing a picture of his mangled ankle.

Check out the video below of the incident. It isn’t pretty.

Heather Mills Hospitalized After Skiing Accident

Heather Mills has left a hospital after receiving treatment for a shoulder injury she sustained during a skiing accident in Austria, Access Hollywood reports.

Best known as Paul McCartney’s ex-wife, Mills crashed on the Moelltaler glacier Wednesday and was flown by helicopter to a hospital in the southern city of Lienz. She was diagnosed with a fractured right shoulder blade.

She is expected to make a full recovery and was released midmorning Thursday. Mills, who uses a prosthetic leg, recently bought a house in southern Austria and is training there for the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games..

Mills said she crashed into a plastic pole that had turned as hard as steel due to the cold.

“That’s skiing, you know,” Mills said. Uh, I’m pretty sure ramming into a pole isn’t part of the sport.

Mills, a former model, married ex-Beatle McCartney in 2002. They divorced in 2008.

This is nice and all that she’s recovering, but my question is: why was a woman with one leg skiing? Seriously – that spells a recipe for disaster. What if her leg popped off! She must be quite the athlete to be able to balance on her one leg – I can’t even ski with both my legs.

Hugh Jackman Injured During Oprah Taping in Australia

Hugh Jackman is a showman, so it’s not surprising he would want to make a dramatic entrance into Oprah’s show at the Sydney Opera House in Australia. However, he created more drama than was initially anticipated.

The plan was for Jackman to zip line from the top sail of the Opera House down to the stage. Unfortunately reports suggest he was doing roughly 80km/h by this point, and hit the brakes too late. This then caused him to bash his eye into a lighting rig, causing a minor injury.

When taping continued, Jackman commented, “That was so much fun until the end,” he said. Referring the Winfrey’s previous guest, he added with a laugh: “Bono was meant to do this, but they couldn’t afford the insurance.”

See the video below for footage of the incident.

“Social Network” star Justin Timberlake halted production on his latest movie after seriously injuring his calf muscle during a stunt.

Pop Eater reports that JT was on-set shooting futuristic thriller “Now” when he hurt himself so badly he required crutches and rest. The film is on hiatus until Timberlake can get back on his feet and back into the action, which doctors are saying will take about two weeks.

He’s not completely incapacitated though – Timberlake appeared at the ArcLight theatre with his Social Network co-stars to answer some questions about the now infamous Facebook movie.

Until the MRI results give the “Now” crew the green light, the film will be completely ground to a halt.

Looks like “Now” may be a good time to start working on that next album, Justin?

Gustav Schaefer, drummer of the German pop-rock band Tokio Hotel, was reportedly injured in a fight at a German nightclub on Sunday.

Schaefer, 20, was injured at a club in his hometown of Magdeburg according to the band’s manager. Police have also confirmed the incident to Bild.de, a German news site.

“In one of Magdeburg’s night clubs, a stranger smashed two beer bottles on the head of Gustav,” David Jost, the band’s manager and producer, said in a statement. “Gustav had to be treated in the hospital with 36 stitches. The police [are investigating] aggravated assault.”

The manager’s statement also explains what allegedly happened between the drummer and a group of guys after he spoke with a girl at a club. “All of a sudden some guys surrounded Gustav,” he continued. “One of them, who had a bald shaved head, started to aggressively pick on him. Suddenly another guy appeared; he hit Gustav straight in his face without warning.

“This started a physical argument between Gustav and the man who had hit him,” Jost said. “Other guests of the club allegedly helped to pull the two apart from each other. The rowdy [man] took off and Gustav thought that that was it. But the guy with the shaved head continued to insult him. Then the vicious attack happened. The second guy approached Gustav from behind on the right side and without warning smashed a beer bottle on Gustav’s head from the side”.

Madonna reportedly twisted her ankle over the weekend, causing her 50th birthday plans to be put on hold.

“She views this as a sign that perhaps she should postpone the formal birthday bash and play it by ear instead,” a source told the UK Mirror. “Madonna now reckons it’ll go ahead during a three-day break in the tour towards the end of the month, not next weekend.”

This is just another set back in Madonna’s personal life. Not only is she currently defending her marriage, but she’s training hard for her upcoming “Sticky and Sweet” tour which is only weeks away.

Johnny Knoxville has incurred a bevy of painful injuries while performing “Jackass” stunts, but his newest accident takes the cake: he nearly castrated himself while riding a motorcycle.

Knoxville was filming a tribute to Evel Knievel in Oklahoma early in February when he had his painful accident.

Updating his blog, Knoxville wrote, “let’s just say before letting Travis Pastrana teach me how to do a backflip on a motorcycle I should have had him teach me to ride one first. Heh-heh…bad for me, good for our viewing audience at home. Have to go now. Have to empty the piss bag on my leg that I have to wear for the next two weeks until my torn urethra heals.”

The tribute will air on MTV on Feb. 23, and Knoxville promised that there will “lots of great stuff in the Evel Knievel tribute besides my trip to the hospital—lots!”

Action star Jackie Chan injured his chest while filming Rush Hour 3.

The 52 year-old actor was hit with a steel re-inforced table.

The mishap, though, wasn’t a first. Chan was injured last March when a stuntman wearing the wrong shoes kicked him in the chest during the shooting for his recent action comedy, “Rob-B-Hood.”

Chan tried to work despite the lingering pain using a stunt belt and taking medication but producers insisted he see a doctor.

X-rays cleared him of any broken bones or internal injuries.

Chan has endured many injuries over his career. In an interview last year the actor said he usually wakes up with pain in his waist, knees, and shoulders.

Ruch Hour 3 hits theatres in 2007.
