OMG!! Poor girl!!!

She takes it all in stride though, just like a real professional!

Marie Osmond accidentally peed herself on stage while performing with brother Donny Osmond over the weekend.

The two were performing on a cruise ship when a question from the audience had her in hysterics - so much so, she peed all over herself and a little bit on the stage!!! She even had to wipe it up with a towel!

LOLz! At least she can laugh about it. Just not too much, girl, we don't want you to have to get the Depends out!

Such a horrendous tragedy.

To recap - last month, the Costa Concordia cruise ship ran aground off the coast of Italy. It was carrying 4,000+ people.

Earlier today, we learned that eight more bodies have been found in

That was fast!

There's no Lifetime movie yet, but Discovery Channel is jumping at the opportunity to investigate the recent cruise ship tragedy in Italy.

The network announced plans to air a special this Spring that will examine the cause of the disaster and how cowardly Captain Francesco Schettino was involved.

Some are criticizing Discovery for turning tragedy into money, but we're definitely curious to find out more details of what went wrong aboard this luxury liner. A statement from the network read:

Much like the Costa Concordia captain's claim that he fell into a lifeboat…we're having trouble believing this is true.

Swiss brothers Yannic and Keven Sgaga are saying that the Titanic theme song was playing in a restaurant on the cruise ship as it started going down.

According to the brothers,

Sorry captain, but we're having a bit of trouble buying this!

To recap - on Saturday, we heard the upsetting news that a cruise ship carrying 4,000+ people ran aground off the coast of Italy.

Then on Monday we heard that a previously halted search for survivors had resumed AND we heard that "human error" was being cited as the cause for the tragic event.

THEN yesterday, we learned that the ship's captain Francesco Schettino was being held in jail for "manslaughter, shipwreck, and abandoning a ship when passengers were still on board." We also heard that the official death toll had reached 11 people. Ugh.

Now, the captain is claiming that he ACCIDENTALLY abandoned the ship! Here's what he had to say about it during a hearing yesterday:

We continue to be disturbed by this story.

On Saturday, we were sad to report that a cruise ship carrying 4,000+ people ran aground off the coast of Italy. Following the evacuation, we heard that at least 50 people hadn't been accounted for, and that 3 people had been confirmed dead.

We had also heard that some passengers were accusing the crew of failing to give them instructions on how to evacuate the ship.

Then yesterday, we learned that

This is just horrible, and the pictures are terrifying.

A cruise ship has run aground off the coast of Italy, carrying around 4,000 people. Most people reached land by lifeboats but some swam to shore. At least 50 people haven't been accounted for, and 3 people have been confirmed to have died, 14 people were injured.

Some passengers even said the crew had failed to give instructions on how to evacuate the ship. An evacuation drill was scheduled for Saturday afternoon!

"It was so unorganised, our evacuation drill was scheduled for 17:00 (16:00 GMT). We had joked what if something had happened today."

So, because of that, there was a huge panic. Nobody knew what to do, the elderly were terrified, people were climbing over each other. Some people even jumped into the sea to swim ashore, and they got hypothermia because of it.

Such a terrible thing to happen.

Our question is this: Don't ships with today's technology know how close they are to things?

Not only that, but why don't they do the evacuation drill as the FIRST THING when people finish boarding the ship??

Our hearts go out to those who lost their lives, and we hope those who survived the ordeal can cope with what happened!
