George Michael Injured In Car Crash On M1
From BBC News:
Singer George Michael has been airlifted to hospital with a head injury following a crash on the M1.
The former Wham! star, 49, remains in hospital after the crash at junction 6A, near St Albans, Hertfordshire.
A spokesman for Michael confirmed he had been involved in an accident on Thursday but said the singer only had “superficial cuts” and was “fine”.
Michael was a passenger in a Range Rover and no other vehicles were involved, the spokesman added.
Connie Filippello, spokesman for Michael, said: “George Michael was a passenger in a vehicle involved in a traffic accident yesterday evening. No third party was involved.
“We have no further comment at this time.”
Ambulance spokesman Gary Sanderson said: “The man who we believe to be in his 40s sustained a head injury and following treatment, stabilisation and immobilisation by land and air ambulance crews, he was flown to hospital for further care.”
Hertfordshire Police said the northbound carriageway of the road was closed for an hour while emergency services dealt with the incident.
Two people were in the car at the time of the crash at about 17:50 BST. No arrests have been made.
A police spokesman said: “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.”
It should be noted that George Michael has been in trouble with the law regarding his driving before. Story developing….

Report: Did David Stern Force Derrick Rose to Fake Injury?
According to The Heckler:
Sources within the NBA Commissioners office have leaked documents which show that Derrick Rose’s knee injury that kept him off the court for the duration of the 2012-2013 season was faked as an unofficial suspension for the former MVP’s reckless gambling addiction. This report shows that David Stern approached the Bulls’ franchise player shortly before game one of the 2012 playoffs demanding that he fake an injury in order to avoid casting a negative shadow on the NBA and hurting his otherwise squeaky-clean public image.
An NBA official, who wished to remain anonymous, told reporters, “Rose’s gambling had just gone out of control. He’s a hyper-competitive guy, and that manifested itself with all-night poker games and off-days spent in casinos, but it really crossed a line when he started betting on games.” According to this source, it was at this point that Stern decided to have Rose fake an injury so as not to hurt the reputation of the league.
When reached for comment about the likelihood that David Stern would force a player to miss an entire season due to a fabricated reason as punishment for gambling, Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael Jordan replied, “No comment. Not going there, man.”
