People magazine reports that actor Morgan Freeman, who most recently played Lucius Fox in Batman: The Dark Knight, is in “good spirits” despite being hospitalized in a Memphis, TN medical center (he was airlifted from Mississippi after his accident there) after suffering a pretty heinous car accident this past Sunday night. Here is a pic of Freeman’s rolled vehicle and an official statement released by Freeman’s rep that updates the actor’s condition:

Morgan Freeman is in good spirits and is planning to have surgery after sustaining injuries in a car accident Sunday night, the actor’s rep said in a statement Monday afternoon.

The Dark Knight actor, 71, was listed in “serious” condition after a late-night car accident. Freeman was driving in Tallahatchie County when the accident happened at about 11:30 p.m., according to Mississippi Highway Patrol. He was removed from the wreck using the jaws of life, then airlifted from the accident scene to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis.

Wow! I’m not sure I was quite aware of the severity of his car accident … I had no idea he had to be removed from the wreckage with help from the jaws of life. He’s very lucky that he only suffered the injuries that he did … even still, I imagine it can’t be easy for Morgan Freeman right now. He is such a positive man, I am wishing him a very speedy recovery and I am very much looking forward to the day when I can update his condition when he is finally able to be released from the hospital.

Here are a few pics that were posted to the official Nine Inch Nails website and were taken over the weekend at the Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago, IL. NIN fans may recall that Nine Inch Nails were on board for the Lollapalooza fest back in 1991, the year that Perry Farrell started the whole thing. Along with bands like Siouxsie & the Banshees, Jane’s Addiction, Living Colour, Ice-T & Body Count, NIN were part of the very first Lollapalooza tour that traveled around the country. These days, Lollapalooza is a stationary 3-day music festival which takes place annually in Chicago, IL but back in the day it was a traveling circus of music acts, artists and other performers that toured from city to city. This year, NIN returned to the Lollapalooza stage for the first time in 17 years … here are a few of the official NIN pics:

Sadly, I was not in attendance at the first Lollapalooza tour in 1991 (nor was I at this year’s fest, for that matter) which is something that I will always regret. I would have loved to have seen both NIN and SaTB on the same stage (I was but a wee lad back then). Ah, memories. Anyways, new official photos are uploaded to NIN.com all the time but they only feature one photo at a time … when a new photo is uploaded the previous one is removed. But, you can go to NINblogs.wordpress.com to see an archive of all of the official photos that have been posted to the official NIN site. It’s an unconventional way to blog but it is very rare when Trent Reznor does anything conventionally.

Can you guess which member of Young Hollywood was spotted out and about in the San Fernando Valley in SoCal this week making his way out of the gym while sporting a knit cap (big hint) along with this nifty black and white Batman & Robin t-shirt:

HMMM … knit cap in the sweltering California sun + gym = an easy guess. After the jump, find out who it is …

Beyoncé and clandestine hubby Jay-Z were spotted around town here in NYC yesterday afternoon (on the 4 month anniversary of their secret nuptials) and B was snapped wearing a Barack Obama Progress t-shirt:

Call it a crazy hunch but I think that Beyoncé might be supporting Obama in the upcoming presidential campaign. Yes?

Yesterday we got to see an entirely grody photo of Rihanna and Chris Brown chillin’ in a hot tub togehter — you remember, the one where Rihanna was poppin’ a zit on Chris’s chin when they thought no one was looking? Today, we get to check out a few more pics from that fateful hot tub date, this time with much less ickiness:

They make such a cute couple … er, you know, when they’re not de-acne-fying one another, that is. I like that ChRihanna keep playing coy about their relationship … it makes analyzing their intimacies a lot more interesting. Whatever they are (or claim to be) to one another, they are very affectionate with each other … they make a very nice match, yes?
