Winter ice causes havoc on the road. Rivers Cuomo, the singer-guitarist for rock band Weezer, was hospitalized early Sunday morning after the group's tour bus skidded off a frozen New York highway.
A bus carrying Rivers Cuomo, his family, and his assistants in upstate New York hit a patch of black ice and "[plunged] about 8-10 vertical feet into a muddy ravine off to the right of the Thruway." Nobody was seriously injured, though one of Cuomo's assistants "sustained two fractured ribs and a fractured lower vertebrae," Cuomo himself "cracked three ribs and sustained some mostly minor but very painful internal damage," and everyone was clearly shaken.
For now, tour dates are canceled with plans to reschedule at a later time.

Robert De Niro, Bruce Springsteen and Mel Brooks have been given lifetime achievement awards.
The legendary entertainers were praised by the President Barack Obama at the Kennedy Center Honours yesterday (06.12.09), where they were presented with their accolades at a black-tie event for transforming the arts in America.
Obama told the 300 celebrity guests - which included Jack Black, Ben Stiller, Edward Norton, Matthew Broderick and Philip Seymour Hoffman - at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts that the entertainers were being honored because they were "the best".
He said: "These performers are indeed the best. They are also living reminders of a single truth - and I'm going to steal a line from my wife Michelle here - the arts are not somehow apart from our national life, the arts are the heart of our national life."

Andrew McCarthy, the star of some of the most iconic teen movies of the '80s (Pretty in Pink, Less Than Zero), is getting back to his roots by taking on the CW's sexy drama, Gossip Girl.McCarthy, who will direct an episode set to air in the spring, says the show's young stars are different than the ones who came to be known as the Brat Pack. "They are much more savvy then we were," McCarthy tells PEOPLE of Gossip Girl's cast. "We were just a bunch of dumb kids running around."
McCarthy, a Gossip Girl fan, is excited to get behind the camera to direct the steamy show. "We have a nice episode, all sorts of juicy little things happen - the normal Gossip Girl juicy things," McCarthy tells PEOPLE of the episode he directs. So what exactly qualifies as "juicy" in the world of Gossip Girl?
"I can't give you much," says a tight-lipped McCarthy. "Except, there is a 9 1/2 Weeks kind of thing going on in one story line," he says, referring to the 1986 drama starring Mickey Rourke and Kim Basinger that chronicled an erotic affair between an art gallery assistant (played by Basinger) and a wealthy business man (played by Rourke).
McCarthy's episode isn't scheduled to air until 2010.

If you haven't seen this, WATCH IT!
It's new this season on ABC. I love it! So much going on in the pilot, so much to look forward to with Eastwick.
Show synopsis from ABC
Someone mysterious is coming to the town of Eastwick. Something magical is already there.
Roxie Torcoletti (Rebecca Romijn) is a free-spirited, earthy artist who has trouble paying the bills. Don’t all free-spirited, earthy artists have that problem? Scuttlebutt around town is that Roxie is a widowed mom to teen daughter, Mia (Ashley Benson), because she killed her hubby. The guys around here think Roxie’s way younger boyfriend, Chad, has heard the rumors but just doesn’t care because she’s so ridiculously gorgeous.
Joanna Frankel (Lindsay Price) is a talented journalist at the local paper who is typically relegated to writing fluff pieces for her editor. We’ll call him cop-a-feel Clyde. Joanna’s best friend Penny (Sara Rue) reminds her that even though her talents aren’t being fully realized, at least she gets to work with the secret object of her affection, Will (Johann Urb), a photographer at the Eastwick Gazette.
Finally, we have Kat Gardener (Jaime Ray Newman), a hardworking nurse and mom of five who married her high school sweetheart, Raymond (Jon Berthnal). Kat’s been supporting the family ever since Ray was laid off from the local candle factory (he was in charge of wicks). Now all Raymond does is sit around and drink beer.
These three women want more out of life. They simultaneously make a wish by tossing a coin into a fountain as Bun (Veronica Cartwright), the head of the Eastwick historical society, tells the local kiddies tales of women who have special gifts, or special powers, who are drawn together as the magic inside them finally awakens.
