GeorgeMichael.comGeorge Michael and cars just don't mix.  The BBC reports that the singer was airlifted to the hospital Thursday after suffering a head injury in a car crash in the U.K.

A statement posted on George's Facebook page says that he is "fine" and only has "superficial cuts" as a result of the accident, which took place in Hertfordshire.  The singer wasn't driving the car; he was a passenger, and the statement adds that "no third party was involved."

A police spokesperson, meanwhile, told the BBC, "The exact circumstances of what happened are unclear at this time and until further investigations have been carried out it would be inappropriate for us to comment further."

This isn't the first time that George has been in a car crash.  In 2010, he was fined, sentenced to eight weeks in prison and banned from driving for five years after he crashed his car into a store while under the influence of marijuana.

In recent years, George has had some serious health issues.  He was hospitalized with pneumonia in 2011, and for a time was in a coma.  He later claimed he almost died.

Facebook.com/StingBack in 1989, Sting starred in a Broadway musical: a revival of The Threepenny Opera.  Now, he's trying to raise some cash to bring his own production to the Great White Way.

The New York Post reports that the former Police frontman and his producing partner are trying to raise $15 million to bring their musical, The Last Ship, to Broadway next spring.  Based on his autobiographical album The Soul Cages, the musical tells the story of a family of shipbuilders whose future looks bleak when the shipyard where they've worked for years is shut down. 

A staged reading of the piece was conducted last week for potential investors, reports the Post.  While Sting isn't going to star in the show, he did write the music and lyrics, and the tone is said to be "moody," "reflective" and "haunting."  A source told the paper that the show is reminiscent of Billy Elliot in that it's about "working-class people who maintain their dignity in the face of adversity."

According to the Post, one potential investor said he thought the show was too "arty" for Broadway, but another pointed out that the musical Once was considered to be "arty" as well, and it won the Tony.

The Post also claims that Sting's been suffering from writer's block for several years, and working on this show is what cured him.

A source told the tabloid, "He's put his nicotine addiction into overdrive. Almost every time I see him, he has a cigarette dangling from his lips and is puffing furiously.

Seth said, "I think I owe a debt of gratitude to Jimmy for having gone from Update to Late Night and having shown it's a nice progression, so I'm very happy to be doing it.

Although when you do late night, they're real crazy people as opposed to Bill Hader pretending to be one."

The show featured many guest performances including Amber Holcomb who performed "Next To Me" with Emeli Sande, and Psy who performed "Gentleman". Kree Harrison performed "Where the Black Top Ends" with Randy Jackson, Keith Urban and Travis Barker and Candice performed "Inseparable" with Jennifer Hudson.

Two of the six actors who made up the original cast of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers have rejected invitations to take part in a reunion episode of the show. Walter Jones, who originated the role of the black ranger, is showing solidarity with former blue ranger David Yost by refusing to sign on.

Yost previously accused the show's producers of harassing him about being gay while he was a part of the show from 1993-1996. Jones released a statement to TMZ saying, "I'm very sorry to disappoint the fans as I would have loved to be a part of it. David, who I still keep in touch with regularly, is a very great guy and it would have been fun to work together again on something we helped originate." Sources tell the website that the show isn't offering them enough money to make up for the way producers treated them during the original run of the series.

The only former star to agree to the reunion has been the original green ranger played by Jason David Frank.

Thuy Trang, who played the original yellow ranger, died in a car accident in 2001.

Wade Robson appeared on The Today Show yesterday (May 16th) to set the record straight about the molestation allegations against the late Michael Jackson. He told Matt Lauer, "You know I said what I understood and I said what I was able to say. From 7-years-old, from day one of the abuse, Michael told me that we loved each other and this is love, that this was an expression of our love and they he'd follow that up with, 'but if you ever tell anyone what we're doing, both of our lives are careers will be over.' He would call me every day and role play and he would tell me the same sort of things and also tell me then that if anyone ever thought that we did these sort of things, these sexual things, that both of us would go to jail."

Wade added that he didn't decide to take action until he saw a therapist after having nervous breakdown. He said, "For the first time in my life I began to realize that my completely numb and unexplored feelings in relation to what Michael did to me might be a problem and maybe I need to speak to someone about it."

He added that he thinks Michael was a "troubled man" who was an amazing talent but also a "pedophile."

MICHAEL'S ESTATE RESPONDS

In response to the interview, Howard Weitzman, the attorney of Michael's estate told TMZ, "Mr. Robson has adamantly denied under oath and in numerous interviews over the past 20 years that Michael Jackson ever did anything inappropriate to him. He now wants us to believe that he committed perjury at least twice and has been lying to anyone and everyone about Mr. Jackson since the early '90s so he can file a claim for money. Mr. Robson's transparent lawsuit comes nearly 4 years after Michael passed. His claim is outrageous and sad."

Michael Jackson's nephew Taj Jackson also spoke on the interview -- saying that Wade is full of it, Michael helped him get through his own molestation when he was a kid. Taj -- the son of Tito Jackson has revealed that he was molested by a family member on his mother's side. He tweeted, "That is how I KNOW Wade is lying. Because I AM a survivor. I was sexually abuse (sic). By a family member on my mom's side of the family when I was a kid."

He added that Michael "was a support system for me and my mom" during his abuse ordeal. He even tweeted a picture of a note that MJ wrote to his mom, which had an article about child molestation to help Taj. ."
