And here we thought Professor X was a fictional hero!!

James McAvoy played the titular character in Macbeth last night in London, but the theatrical production took a turn for the REAL when an audience member fell iill and collapsed!

Not even skipping a beat, James switched mindsets from Shakespeare to superhero and jumped into the audience to offer his assistance!!!

Lil' Wayne just lost a huge lawsuit he filed against Quincy Jones III over a documentary called The Carter and now owes the defendant over $2 million from a counter-suit too!

Obviously, the jury is to blame because their sole purpose was to rule in the favor of one party, but Weezy thinks he lost because they were particularly "pissed off" that he missed his court appearance to testify.

He was ordered by doctors not to board a plane after suffering several seizures in the air, so he feels that if the judge would have allowed him to testify at a later date, he could have convinced the jury to take his side.

At the very least, the rapper is positive he wouldn't owe $2 million to the filmmaker he sued in the first place!

That could be true, but maybe this is karma's way of telling Wayne that he should take depositions more seriously because that's what the jury had to watch in his absence.

Would U side with him after seeing this?

Scary.

To recap - last night, Demi Moore was rushed to the hospital from her home following a 911 call, and sources were saying that the medical emergency had something to do with substance abuse.

Following the incident, Demi's rep released a statement revealing that the actress would be seeking professional treatment for "exhaustion" and "overall health."

Now,

Less than a week after NCIS was renewed for a ninth season, a security guard has died during a tragic accident on the show's set in L.A.

According to law enforcement sources, a 60-year-old man driving a production van had a "medical emergency" and crashed into the set, hitting a 52-year-old male security guard.

The security guard was transported to a hospital, but unfortunately passed away soon after.

Our thoughts go out to the deceased's family and friends.

So sad.

Although this is a little more morbid than we prefer, it apparently was a huge ratings draw.

Tuesday night's episode of Deadliest Catch, which featured the late Capt. Phil Harris suffering a serious stroke and then being hospitalized (above), had an audience of about 5.4 million people, with 17% more viewers than ever before.

What do U think?? Did U tune in just to see the emergency??

We certainly hope it can happen! After everything he's been through, he deserves to be there!

Despite Bret Michaels' latest medical setback, he's still determined to be present at the Celebrity Apprentice season finale!

His rep says:

"As far as I know, Bret will be there unless his doctors tell him otherwise. We're cautiously optimistic that he will attend the finale. But ultimately, it's up to his doctors."

Good attitude! We don't want him to put himself in another position that would be detrimental to his health!

You're a fighter Bret, we're all standing behind you!

Sneaky sneaky!!

Antonio "L.A." Reid, the CEO of Island Def Jams, bailed on appearance to speak at the Billboard 2010 Music & Money Symposium, claiming his son was in the hospital and need surgery!!

However, sources are now claiming this 'medical emergency' may have been bull, and that because of the disappointing sales from Rihanna and Mariah Carey's latest albums, L.A. is feeling the pressure and may be on his way out!

A source said:

"There was speculation among other music executives that this was not entirely the truth. Reid didn't want to answer questions about his future with Island Def Jam. The move left organizers panicked with no speaker with just hours to go. Vevo CEO Rio Caraeff agreed to stand in."

However, Reid is insisting this is not the case, and a friend says:

"L.A. had to cancel because he was called away on family business, not because his son was ill. That was just a story that went around. He isn't afraid to answer questions about his future with the label. He is about to sign J.Lo [Jennifer Lopez] and isn't going anywhere."

So either way it seems that the ill son story was false, which we think is a horrible rumor to perpetuate!! Whoever started it - shame on you!!

What do U think?? Is L.A. Reid trying to bow out after his last few flops??
