Fear not ladies, he's OK! While driving his motorcycle in what appears to be Weehawken, New Jersey, George Clooney and friend Sarah Larson collided with another vehicle they were apparently trying to pass from the right-hand side, so says Variety. The accident occurred yesterday afternoon. Clooney suffered a broken rib and some scrapes, and Larson suffered a broken foot. Ouch. From the looks of it, Clooney sped up to pass a car on the right (something you're not allowed to do in Jersey), with intentions of making a right turn. However, the car beside him crossed into the right lane and collided with Clooney. No word on whether that car, a 1999 Mazda (this is Jersey, George, not Beverly Hills) had its turn signal on.

A spokesman for the Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen, New Jersey said Clooney has "a broken rib, it's very painful and it'll take a long time to heal." Currently, Clooney has several films in different stages of production. He'd been shooting Leatherheads back in July (when images surfaced from the set), and according to IMDb he's currently filming the Coen Bros. next film, Burn After Reading. No word on whether either film will be delayed because of the accident (I'm not sure how long it takes for someone to be able to work with a broken rib -- never had one myself). The accident is still under investigation; right now it's a he said/she said sort of thing. Nothing against motorcycles, and the people that drive them, but here in New York folks just do what they want --riding between lanes, swerving in and out of traffic. It gets real annoying. But as long as everyone is fine, and not seriously injured -- that's what really counts. Clooney's next film, Michael Clayton, arrives in theaters next month.

There are a bunch of different jokes I can throw out regarding this story, but let's start by being serious. Governor Schwartzeneger has received 15 stitches after colliding with another car while driving a motorcycle with his son. The accident occurred Sunday afternoon and it seems as if it's the fault of the other driver for backing out, unaware the Terminator (okay, I had to go there) was heading straight for him.

All parties are said to be fine and the governor was expected to keep all of his appointments Monday. I mean, why should we expect less - the dude is huge. He's still huge, right? Ahnold's son was riding in the Harley Davidson's sidecar at the time and was treated for minor cuts and bruises. See, I'm the guy that would vote for him just because he drove a Harley with a sidecar. I'm that guy.
