She didn’t suffer any serious injuries and was scheduled to return to the set later that day.
“There was an accident involving a rigged camera vehicle on the set of The Invasion Wednesday night in Los Angeles,” Warner Bros. said in a statement Thursday. “Nicole Kidman was in the vehicle at the time of the accident and was taken to the hospital for evaluation. She was released shortly thereafter.”
A total of eight people were brought to the hospital after the accident, although no other actors were involved. Two crew members suffered minor injuries.
“The production took the appropriate steps following the incident to ensure the safety of the cast and crew,” the studio said in the statement.
The accident occurred shortly before 12:25 a.m. in downtown Los Angeles. An ambulance was sent to the scene, but not needed.
“There were no life-threatening injuries,” the Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement. “They conducted a medical exam but the persons involved sought their own medical attention.”
Kidman’s husband, Keith Urban, was on set at the time, photos show. Earlier in the day, Kidman’s children Isabella, 14, and Conner, 11, were on the set, but had left before the accident.
Isaiah appologizes
It seems that Greys Anatomy star Isaiah Washington set off a firestorm over his comments at Mondays Golden Globes. He’d been questioned about having previously called co-star T.R. Knight a faggot and he used the offensive word again when talking with reporters.
“I apologize to T.R., my colleagues, the fans of the show and especially the lesbian and gay community for using a word that is unacceptable in any context or circumstance. By repeating the word Monday night, I marred what should have been a perfect night for everyone who works on ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ I can neither defend nor explain my behavior. I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I’ve asked for help.
I know the power of words, especially those that demean. I realize that by using one filled with disrespect I have hurt more than T.R. and my colleagues. With one word, I’ve hurt everyone who has struggled for the respect so many of us take for granted. I welcome the chance to meet with leaders of the gay and lesbian community to apologize in person and to talk about what I can do to heal the wounds I’ve opened.
T.R.’s courage throughout this entire episode speaks to his tremendous character. I hold his talent, and T.R. as a person, in high esteem. I know a mere apology will not end this, and I intend to let my future actions prove my sincerity.”
