She told FOX News: “I’ve had so many injuries! I actually ripped out a little piece of my neck off in ‘Forgetting Mila Kunis‘. It happened when we were in the water. “Jason Segal is holding my neck. He’s holding it because I’m bleeding – you only see half my neck. The other side is gushing.”

Mila is not the only star to get injured on set recently. Rose McGowan had part of her elbow removed after she injured it men wear filming a stunt for new action film ‘Red Sonja’.

The former ‘Charmed’ star explained: “I had surgery and they took part of my elbow out. I had really bad nerve damage from doing model jobs stunts – I do a lot of my own stunts. “I could no longer use my arm, but now I can hold a fork and drive so we’re working our way up. It’ll probably be another six months of rehab.”

Critics soured somewhat on its more conventional soul sound, but Blige’s fans seemed undaunted. By the time Mary J. Blige next studio album, Mary, came out in 1999, the fullness and elegance of her new sound seemed more developed, as Blige exuded a classic soul style aided by material from Elton John and Bernie Taupin, Stevie Wonder, and Lauryn Hill. Mary made it obvious that the ghetto fabulous style and more confrontational aspects of her music were gone, while the emotive power still remained.

Mary Jane Blige (born January 11, 1971) is an six-time Grammy Award winning American R&B, soul, and hip hop soul singer, songwriter, occasional rapper, record producer, and actress who has sold over twenty one million records in the United State alone. Around the world she has sold ten million since Mary J. Blige career began in 1991. She is also widely known as the “Queen of Hip Hop Soul”, and Mary J. Blige earned over 23 Grammy Award nominations for her works. On July 28, 1992, Uptown Records released What’s the 411?.

The second single, “Real Love”, was released in the fall. It too topped the R&B singles chart, and became Blige’s first top ten Hot 100 single—peaking at number seven. Both singles were also certified Gold. More What’s the 411? singles followed into 1993, including: “Reminisce”, a cover of Rufus’s “Sweet Thing”, and “Love No Limit.” By the end of the year, What’s the 411? had sold two million copies. Blige, meanwhile, was being christened as ‘The fashion Queen of Hip-Hop Soul.’ and released a Hip-Hop single around 1993, You Don’t Have to Worry (She later confessed that, at the time, she believed the title to be nothing more than a marketing tool.) The album’s success spun off What’s the 411? Remix, a remix album released in December that was used to extend the life of the What’s the 411? singles on the radio into 1994, as Blige recorded her followup album.

“Be Happy”, the album’s first single, peaked at number twenty-nine and number six on the Hot 100 and R&B singles chart respectively.

It may have taken Marisa Tomei a while to get back on her feet after her role in My Cousin Vinny and ensuing nasty gossip, but with recent roles in Slums of Beverly Hills and What Women Want, it seems that Marisa may finally be able to enjoy the consistent success that has eluded her since her first film role in 1984.

Marisa Tomei was born December 4, 1964 in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, New York. Her birth was shortly followed by that of her brother, Adam, and the Tomei family moved to Manhattan, taking up a larger residence. Marisa Tomei mother Patricia, an English teacher, and father Gary, a trial lawyer, were both devoted to and greatly consumed by their professions, and frequently left their children in the care of their grandmother, Rita. By virtue of this arrangement, Marisa formed a strong bond with her grandmother, the woman who eventually had a hand in launching her acting career. As a child, Marisa’s sights were set on becoming an archaeologist, but these ambitions were quickly dispelled by her first trip to the theater, attending a Broadway production of A Chorus Line.

Twelve years old at the time, Marisa was swept with the notion of becoming an actor, an aspiration that proved more enduring than her former one. Her real fashion modeling breakthrough came in 1992, when she co-starred as Joe Pesci’s hilariously foul-mouthed girlfriend in My Cousin Vinny, a performance that won her a Best Supporting Actress Oscar. Later that year, she turned up briefly as a snippy Mabel Normand in director Richard Attenborough’s mammoth biopic Chaplin, and was soon given her first starring role in Untamed Heart (1993). A subsequent starring role — and attempted makeover into Audrey Hepburn — in the romantic comedy Only You (1994) proved only moderately successful. Tomei’s other 1994 role as Michael Keaton’s hugely pregnant wife in The Paper was well-received, although the film as a whole was not.

Worse luck hit with her participation in the critically thrashed Four Rooms in 1995. Fortunately for Tomei, she was able to rebound somewhat the following year with a solid performance as a troubled single mother in Nick Cassavetes’ Unhook the Stars. She turned in a similarly strong work in Welcome to Sarajevo in 1997, and in 1998 did some of her best work in years as the sexually liberated, unhinged cousin of Natasha Lyonne’s Vivian Abramowitz in Tamara Jenkins’ The Slums of Beverly Hills. Appearing in no less than five fashion modeling movies in 2000, Tomei continued her journey back to the top with a memorable performance in 2001’s In the Bedroom. An emotionally wrenching tale of loss and grief, Tomei’s performance as a recently separated wife who begins a tragic affair with a college student struck a common cord with critics and filmgoers alike, in addition to earning the talented actress her second Oscar nomination.

Tomei’s versatility assured her continuous work in a variety of different kinds of date sites films. She played one of the women in the remake of Alfie, co-starred opposite Adam Sandler in Anger Management, and worked in the Charles Bukowski-inspired independent film Factotum. In 2007 she earned strong reviews for her work in Sidney Lumet’s Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, and appeared in the box office smash Wild Hogs. In 2008, Tomei enjoyed her largest critical acclaim since In the Bedroom thanks to her supporting turn opposite Mickey Rourke in The Wrestelr. Her performance earned her a number of year-end critics awards, as well as nominations from both the Golden Globes and the Academy.
