Pink, whose concert tour is now in Germany, was injured Thursday night when a stunt went wrong. While performing her hit "So What", she attempted to get in a harness that would lift her over the crowd, as she did on the Grammy Awards show. She was improperly secured and the harness catapulted her offstage and into a barrier. As seen in a YouTube video posted by someone at the concert, she climbed back on stage, but the show was prudently stopped so she could be taken to a nearby hospital for examination. Hospital spokespeople wouldn't reveal what the exam turned up, but Mohawk Radio sources spoke with doctors who wished to remain unidentified and found out Pink had no broken bones or fluid in her lungs, with the worst of the event being a few cuts and bruises. Pink said her Friday concert in Salem, Germany will not be affected by the accident.

He was riding his 2009 Ducati Monster 696 motorcycle when he was struck from behind by an automobile drived by 62-year old Linda O'Brien. Damage to both vehicles was minimal because both were moving at slow speeds, but Ms. O'brien was cited for following too closely. Perry was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated and released within two hours. Hospital officials ... Continue reading...

Great Britain is getting set to become a "great humiliation", according to a New York state representative. The European nation is hosting a lacrosse world championship competition, but they are refusing to let the Iroquois Nationals Team enter the country to compete. This is because, the British government says, their Iroquois Confederacy passports lack the security measures of those of other nations, and they say that the Nationals won't be allowed in unless they get either a U.S. or Cana...

If you watch America's Got Talent, there's no denying the impact of Piers Morgan, who plays the requisite British judge on the show. You may be seeing a lot more of him soon, as he is going through "almost done" negotiations to take the place of Larry King at 9 PM nightly on CNN. The cable network says that he would still be able to do his NBC judging duties, and in fact are even willing to give that priority over the CNN program. Speculation about the deal, as reported on the Mohawk Radio... Continue reading...

The new Arizona immigration law that President Obama is trying to squash is gaining support by leaps and bounds.

The Swiss government freed Academy Award winning director Roman Polanski on June 12 after deciding that the United States failed to provide confidential testimony relating to the charge that he had sex with a minor in 1977. Probably just as important to this decision is the fact that the then 13-year old girl has refused to testify, saying that this event was in the past and she doesn't want to pursue the case. This will probably kill the United States' efforts to have Polanski extradited t... Continue reading...

What do you name a new dinosaur unlike anything else ever seen before? Usually, dinos are named after some trait of their body or their discoverer with a handle that's hard to say. Nicholas Longrich, a paleontologist at Yale University, found a new species in Canada and wanted a unique name to match the creature's unusual feature, so he met a few fellow scientists over a few beers and they bantered possibilities. Longrich jokingly mentioned "mojoceratops" and all conversation stopped as th... Continue reading...
