Elisabeth Hasselbeck Announces Pregnancy, Accident on the Harry Potter Set and Mickey Rourke Turns Down WWE

Baby announcements, terrifying accidents on movie sets and Mickey Rourke pulling out of his WWE challenge have been fighting their way to the top of celebrity announcements, a difficult feat during Oscar season.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Expecting Baby Number 3

The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck just announced the news of her pregnancy on air this morning. She and former professional football star Tim Hasselbeck have two children, 3-year-old Grace and 15-month-old Taylor Thomas. Hasselbeck is due in August.

Known as being very outspoken about her Republican position on The View, Hasselbeck said that she chalked up her nausea and weariness on election night to the event itself.

"I was tired, I was nauseous, I thought I was worn out from the whole procedure. No, I was knocked up and didn't realize it!"

Harry Potter Stuntman Takes a Fall

The set of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was plunged into a state of shock and terror when actor Daniel Radcliffe's stuntman had an accident that sent him to the hospital for severe back injuries.

The 25-year-old man, who has been Radcliffe's double on all the Potter films, was doing stunts for preproduction of the film. The man was suspended by a harness for an aerial sequence when a planned blast went wrong and the stuntman hurtled to the ground.

E! Online reported that the man was conscious after the fall, but crew members reported that he was unable to feel his legs afterwards.

Mickey Rourke Can Talk the Talk, But Not Walk the Walk

After Mickey Rourke's surprising announcement January 26^th that he was going to participate in WWE's Wrestlemania in April, everyone had a feeling that the actor was taking his comeback role a little too seriously.

Rourke, whose career was revitalized by his role in Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler, made the announcement on the red carpet at the SAG Awards. He told E! Online,

"The movie was about their world and so I think maybe I'm gonna do Wrestlemania in Houston. . .Chris Jericho, you better get in shape because I'm coming after your ass."

However, the actor's rep crushed that dream, announcing to E! Online,

"Mickey was very honored to be asked, as he has the greatest respect for WWE. However, he will not be participating in WrestleMania. He is focusing entirely on his acting career."

Ah, the price of fame and a revived career.
