Angelina Jolie Hospitalized After On-Set Accident, Released

NEW YORK — A spokesman for Columbia Pictures says Angelina Jolie is back on the set of her latest movie after a brief trip to the hospital for a minor bump to the head.

Jolie sustained the injury Friday while filming an action sequence on Long Island in New York, where her upcoming thriller "Salt" is being shot.

Studio Spokesman Steve Elzer says the actress was taken to a local hospital, examined and released as a precautionary measure.

Elzer says she was back on the set Friday and production has resumed.

[MyThought]

Unfortunately, Natashia Richardson refused medical help - as an adult she couldn't be forced. It was a lesson learned by all.

A little Salt on the wound?

[TiffanyHusseinBanned]

Thank God she is alright.

[marymansour]

Swoon. Gods forbid that she become a martyr.

[Steamboater]

No matter what anyone thinks of her, Jolie is one beautiful woman.

[dct1999]

Disagree, she's way too thin and looks like Morticia Adams.

[cinnamonlady]

To me, and perhaps many other, that is the ultimate compliment, dct.

Morticia Adams was H O T! Especially when she spoke French. Hey, isn't Anjie studying French, too?

[monmouth]

Tallulah Bankhead comes to mind also...

[happycat]

I agree.

[lizr]

LOVE Morticia!

[cinnamonlady]

You are so right. Anjie is a brown haired version of her father - even those lips! People say she has had plastic surgery but I just don't know. I have seen Jon in person (mama mia) and it was like standing alongside Anjie, except he's taller. Oh, I do wish they had a closer relationship.

[EnlightenUp]

just watch Hackers.. she hasn't had any surgery, clearly.

[mollymac]

No, see pix of her as a child. Same lips.

[happycat]

I guess that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I just don't see it, Steamboater.

[cinnamonlady]

Have you no appreciation for lipstick soaked in the bl oo d of former lovers?

It really does create an unheavenly glow.

[truthartbeauty]

hard to argue with that. she is stunning!

[chrish]

I'd bet Natasha Richardson's tragic death was on everyone's mind. Better safe than sorry.

[phillymonster]

Read about it here - this was nothing but a major publicity stunt!

I don't suppose any of those predisposed to assuming the worst about Joliet has considered the possibility that her insurance for the film requires hospital attention for injuries, especially head injuries?

As others have pointed out, there is renewed awareness of the sometimes deceiving appearance of slight head injuries. Indeed, I bet insurers of celebrities making movies have started inserting the "Natasha Richardson Clause," requiring hospital attention for any head injury, not matter how apparently minor.

I am certainly no fan of Richardson, but I don't think she's satan, either.

[ahoyhoy]

Excellent. Perfect comment.

I went to the hospital when I hit my head at work, and I was just a waitress.

[PoliticalAmazon]

Ooops--make that, "no fan of Joilet." My bad. Mea culpa.

[wadenelson1]

She turned quickly and those luscious, plump lips knocked over a light stanchion.

[whoknew---]

You're funny, you read like a pulp fiction writer.

[Topfeeder]

Too bad Natasha Richardson didn't get such attention. She might still be with us.

[elatas]

She did get attention. She did not want it, unfortunately.
