I'm going to start off by saying, OMG, how is he still alive?! Jonathan Goodwin, a daredevil stuntman on the new "America's Got Talent: Extreme" suffered life-threatening injuries after a stunt gone horribly wrong. As you can see in video at tmz.com, Jonathan was suspended 70 feet in the air in a straitjacket hanging by his feet from a wire. Two cars were suspended on either side of him and were set to release and crash into each other as he freed himself. But, when he was released from the wire, the hardware seemed to malfunction and he sprung upwards a bit first, putting him directly in the path of the cars as he came down. Not only was he between the cars as they smashed together, the cars exploded into fire and Jonathan missed the air mattress landing on the ground head first. He was airlifted to a hospital and rushed into surgery. His injuries include multiple broken bones in both of his legs, along with cuts all over his face and burns.

Vanessa Bryant is being asked to undergo a psychiatric evaluation by LA County attorneys who want her to prove she's distraught because of the photos some county employees took of Kobe, Gianna, and others at the scene of the crash. The county claims the anguish she feels could simply be over the deaths of their loved ones and not because a few employees looked at photos that were never released to the public. It sounds like they're not really being all that nice about it either. They said in their request to the court, "Plaintiffs cannot claim that they are suffering from ongoing depression, anxiety and severe emotional distress and then balk at having to support their claims."
