Hip hip hooray!

Morgan Freeman was released from a Memphis medical center after being treated for the injuries sustained during a car crash this weekend.

Mr. Freeman will have to wear a neck brace for six to eight months, according to attorney Bill Luckett, who added: “The doctors have said it will be six months to a year before he plays golf again. He hates that.”

It turns out that Morgan Freeman and his wife of 24 years, costume designer Myrna Colley-Lee, have been separated since December 2007 and are currently in the process of divorcing.

Perhaps that explains why Freeman was out past his bedtime — at 11:30 pm — driving female passenger Demaris Meyer to his house. It’s been rumored that Freeman fell asleep at the wheel, causing the accident.

It’s so disappointing to see long-term Hollywood couples split up. Does marriage work for absolutely no one these days?

Hooray!

Following his car wreck this weekend, actor Morgan Freeman is doing well.

“He was walking this (morning), and is looking forward to his release as soon as possible,” said his publicist.

On Monday night, Freeman underwent four-and-a-half hours of surgery to repair damage to his left arm and hand.

We’re rooting for a full recovery for you, Morgan!

My beloved Morgan Freeman was in a serious car accident in Mississippi at 11:30 pm last night.

He was airlifted from the accident scene to a hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. Alcohol is not suspected to be involved in the accident. Of course not!!!! My precious Morgan Freeman DOES NOT drink and drive. It’s silly that we even had to say that.

There’s been no word on Morgan’s condition, but state troopers say he was talking at the scene of the accident before being airlifted.

Get better soon, Mr. Freeman!!!!

This is older news but you haven’t heard about it yet. A friend mentioned this to me and I had to track it down for you, the adoring public. I’m about to blow your mind. Ready?

Evan Almighty could cost as much as $250 million U.S. dollars to make. That’s million with an M. As in one quarter of a Billion dollars.

You may be scratching your head as to what exactly Evan Almighty is. It’s the sequel to Bruce Almighty, the one where Morgan Freeman was God and Jim Carrey put a definitive end to his comedy film career. The movie was okay, and it was cool because Jennifer Aniston played a tree. Oh, she didn’t? My bad.

But back to the budget, according to the article the film has run over on costs because:

a) it’s a “spectacle fantasy and also a comedy.”

b) the “studio’s desire to release the film during the holiday season in December, thereby cutting preparation time and forcing the crew to shoot scenes in Virginia during a rainy period.”

c) “Producers also encountered delays having to film hundreds of animals.”

Okay, now I get it. They had to deal with pricey rain, it’s a fantasy, and they had animals. It’s like Singles mixed with Jumanji so you can see why it would cost bank and a half. I won’t get into why they’ve decided special effects are relevant to a comedy because I know what really happened to the money and that’s a much more compelling story.

Tijuana hookers, eight thousand pounds of blow, and the crazy “money bonfire” party that helped the cast and crew pass away those lonely Virginia nights.
