Morgan Freeman’s injured hand

While watching the Grammys Sunday night, I noticed that there is one thing that bothered me during Morgan Freeman's intro for "his good friend Kenny Chesney."

I asked myself, “What was with the glove that Freeman was wearing on his left hand?”

Why is the normally slick and well dressed actor wearing an accessory as ugly as that? Surely there must be a reason right?

Well it turns out that there is a good reason why he wears that glove. Five months after a serious car crash in Mississippi, Morgan Freeman is still without the use of his left hand.

He tells Access Hollywood in an interview that,

“I wound up with a lot of nerve damage in my arm, so the hand is still paralyzed,” Freeman told Access. “So until the nerves get down there…”

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, the actor and friend Demaris Meyer were involved in an accident last August that saw his vehicle flip over, while heading to Freeman’s home in Charleston, Mississippi.

Following the crash, Freeman underwent surgery to repair his broken arm, broken elbow and minor shoulder damage.

As one christian magazine noted, it can be remembered that Freeman played God in both Bruce Almighty and Evan Almighty. I almost thought that he was as indestructible also – guess I was wrong.

Tom Delonge on Blink 182

Tom DeLonge only spoke about his former band Blink 182 when former band mate Travis Barker was involved in a near fatal jet crash. He said that,

"Just like you guys, I was freaked out about the entire thing," he said. "It blew my mind what happened." He added that, no matter what happened between himself and Barker in the past, "none of it matters when it comes down to somebody getting hurt."

However, he also said that he was surprised on the interest that people have in his reaction to the whole thing.

"Everyone wanted to know what I think, but it's not about me," he said. "It's not about Tom at all, and it's not about Blink at all. It's about Travis and his family, so stop worrying about what I think, and what I feel, and what I'm going to say, because it doesn't matter."

It can be remembered that there was a Tom DeLonge video that was posted a while back saying,

However in a live video posted on Youtube Delonge declared: “I do not want to be in a bullshit pop band with some bullshit pop songs while you drive your fucking bullshit car and sing along to it like you’re some 14 year-old girl.”

And the custody goes to Madonna

Round two goes to Madonna. After splitting with ex hubby Guy Ritchie and going out with baseball superstar Alex Rodriguez, the material girl recently won a court order to win the custody over Rocco Ritchie and David Banda.

While listening to will i am, what made me interested about this was the fact that in a matter of minutes after the custody was settled, the news leaked on to the reporters.

"Lourdes was always going to stay with her mum. But keeping Rocco and David close to him in London was the only thing Guy really wanted from the divorce. He thought he had a real chance, especially as their school is here. He desperately loves those boys and is a devoted dad. Guy will still see his sons all the time… It doesn’t matter where they live — they will always have the hearts and souls of Englishmen. Football, appreciating the countryside, good humour and decent music — Guy’s determined these symbols of Britishness will forever be part of their lives.”

Not only that, there are reports that Madonna is on the verge of making her United States residency permanent – in a little over two weeks time.

Well, New York is a great place to be with a lot of diversity in culture. Where else can you get a christian magazine, will I am and Megadeth at the same place?

Talk about getting as far away from your ex-hubby and straight into the arms of A-Rod.
