To go to the hospital or not to go to the hospital?
On Monday, actor Conor Madden collapsed after being slashed by a sword during a production of Hamlet in Ireland.
The audience didn't realize he was legitimately injured until artistic director Alan Stanford approached the stage and announced that Conor's "blood and moans were real."
The Hamlet actor was sent to the hospital, and has since been released.
Fortunately, it looks like Conor will be fine, as he may be returning to the stage as soon as Wednesday.
Good luck, Conor…and be careful!

It's beginning to look like Nicola Formichetti is that much closer to becoming artistic director at Thierry Mugler.
As we mentioned back in June, their were rumors going around that the fashion house had both Gareth Pugh and GaGa's stylist in mind for the gig, but according to new reports Nicola is the front runner.
Thierry Mugler is said to be working on a contract for the hottest stylist in the biz, which would seal the deal.
Exciting!

Well this is inneresting.
Although many have been speculating that designer Gareth Pugh would be taking over the position of artistic director at Thierry Mugler, one source is saying it's Nicola Formichetti!
If this rumor is true, Nicola will definitely have his hands full.
Not only is he the fashion director for Vogue Hommes Japan and creative director for Dazed & Confused he's also the stylist and mastermind behind Lady GaGa's Haus of GaGa.
Hopefully we'll find out the replacement sooner than later!

Kevin Spacey must have a thing for blondes, because apparently he doesn't go after real talent.
According to reports, Spacey wants Kate Moss to appear in one of his upcoming London plays.
Spacey is the artistic director at the Old Vic theatre and has been after Moss to participate since earlier this month.
In fact, he reportedly even took her out to dinner two weeks ago to convince her.
According to a source, "Kevin was talking to Kate about auditioning for his eighth season, which starts in September. He seemed to be making overtures towards her, suggesting she should try out."
Seriously? He can't go after someone better?
