This is soooooo scary.

A worker at the Los Angeles Zoo was dropped into a nightmare scenario when he slipped and fell into the gorilla enclosure on Thursday morning.

The employee fell at least 20 feet at around 8:30 am, suffering a possible fractured femur from the drop.

According to officials, the exhibit's Western Lowland Gorillas were secured while the 61-year-old was rescued.

The man was hoisted up using a rope system by firefighters and strapped to a gurney before being rushed to the hospital.

The zoo was closed when the fall occurred, and they have yet to release a statement about the incident.

We're just glad he's okay. Watch the footage of the rescue (below):

Bill Cosby will not go down without a fight!

As we reported last month, the comedian was arraigned for one charge of aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand for an incident that occurred in 2004.

On Monday, The Cosby Show star's attorney wants these claims completely dismissed!

According to lawyer Monique Pressley, these charges against the 78-year-old "violate an express agreement" where Cosby "would never be prosecuted with respect to the allegations of sexual assault made by complainant Andrea Constand."

Back in 2006, the disgraced actor and Constand agreed to a civil settlement after she initially sued him.

According to Cosby's counsel, authorities agreed to a "non-prosecution agreement… for the express purpose of inducing Mr. Cosby to testify fully in Ms. Constand's civil litigation against him."

In a statement against District Attorney Kevin Steele, Monique said

So tragic.

An accomplished college swimmer died at a YMCA pool over Christmas weekend in Florida.

Tate Ramsden was visiting Sarasota with his family on Saturday when he lost his life at the YMCA's Selby Aquatic Center.

According to reports, the 21-year-old — who was a junior swimmer on scholarship at Dartmouth College — was at the pool with his sister, uncle, and cousin.

Says a photographer to Chris Martin!

Back in January, the Coldplay frontman, ex Gwyneth Paltrow, and their two kids were dining at Giorgio Baldi restaurant in Santa Monica, CA where he allegedly struck a photog named Richard Terry with his Jeep.

An ambulance was called and the shutterbug was taken to a hospital.

Now Terry is suing Martin for that incident!

Not only does the paparazzo claim the rocker purposely turned his wheel to hit him, he has "a significant history of repeated and ongoing violent acts against entertainment news people."

However, before you jump to conclusions, this "attack" may have been staged.

Photos of the event were taken across the street, which is weird considering the 38-year-old and his brood were EXTREMELY visible from the sidewalk. The "victim" also looked at said cameras as he was being taken away.

We just hope the legal system will sort this confusing case out!

Two thieves stole a vehicle in Norfolk, Virginia on Wednesday morning, but had to make a pit stop after they realized a young boy was in the backseat!

The boy's mother left the car for about 20 minutes, but came back to find her car AND 8-year-old son were missing! Norfolk police spokeswoman Melinda Wray told People:

"The mom ran into work to take care of a few things and left the car running with the music on. Apparently, this was something she did regularly and had never had any problems."

We don't think leaving your child in a running car should be something a mother "regularly" does!

But thankfully, the boy was safe and sound. Shortly after, police officers found him "sitting in class as if nothing had happened."
