Baldwin Bucked Up -- Rushed to Hospital

TMZ has learned that actor Stephen Baldwin was rushed to a Texas hospital yesterday, after he was thrown from a real-life bucking bull during the taping of an upcoming reality show. You know what happens when you mess with the bull!
Stephen Baldwin
Sources from the set of "Ty Murray's Celebrity Bull Riding Challenge" tell TMZ that Baldwin broke a shoulder and a rib when a bad ride sent him crashing to the rodeo floor. Baldwin was treated and released from a hospital, and we're told that "he is already back on set in a sling." No bull!

The show, which is set to debut on CMT in August, follows nine Hollywood celebrities on location in Texas -- as they try to master the art of championship bullriding.

Baldwin isn't the first star to get feel the bull's wrath during production -- Leif Garrett was seriously roughed up just a day earlier. Shockingly, Vanilla Ice has remained unharmed!

55. I agree with the animal rights people. Save that poor "cow" and buy up all the rodeo animals. Give them good homes with no more torments, take them for walks, feed them treats, whatever it takes to provide them with the happy life they deserve. If you just block their use on rodeos, then there will be a long line at the meatpackers and they will not thank you. Note to Baldwin, If it's between you and a 1,000 pound bull, your odds are not good. Heal quickly and well, though :)

57. 2 things here. Mr. Baldwin pushes quite often the fact that he is a born again Christian. Of course we hear that from everyone from Beyounce, to Steven Tyler that gets up there and thanks Jesus every time he wins an award for Aerosmiht, or even Charlie Daniels. No doubt that they live by a completely different set of rules than I comprehend the bible and in thinking about Stephen I think of "thou shalt not tempt the Lord they God". Now if you work on a ranch and you end up getting hurt as I did many times then that's one thing, but to jump on the back of one of these critters, even though this is a fairly small one in comparison to the ones we had or that you see in the National Rodeo circuits, and not expect to get hurt, well, you tempting God senor, lemme tell ya.
#2-I clicked over to some other photos of stars and people having problems and I see Britney almost falling and dropping her baby. We've all put ourselves and our children in a precarious situation like that, doesn't have to be Michael Jackson holding his over a balcony, and really just shut up about Brit driving with the baby in her lap. Most of you people just want to play God, you want to protect us from ourselves and you're pushing us more and more into a corner where we can't do anything because of you stupid fear. BUT, this deal with Britney and seeing that baby and suddenly it came to me of the care giver that might be put to death in Texas over the death of a small boy. Can you imagine the impact if say Brit had been at home and no one around, fell and it's easy to see that it would be a miracle if the childs head didn't hit first and from that distance, become shattered. But, everyone still has that Roman gladiator thirst for blood and anytime they see someone fry I think it makes them feel a little better about their wretched selves.

58. Hey Gina, #2 Comment...... ABUSING ANIMALS??? No, this is not abuse. Tying them up to a tree for hours w/ no food or water, hanging them from a tree for fun, or just dumping them on the side of the road..... NOW THAT'S ABUSE! Bullriding is part of RODEO, which is a sport! Sorry to not agree with you on this one. We have been in the rodeo business for a long, long time and we DO NOT abuse any of these animals in any way, shape or form!!

60. Good I got no good feelings towards these stars, leave the BULL alone
you seedy star's deserve it, all of you.
We are all to blame for these trashy people because we watch this BULL on TV and the movies. My money, they will NOT get , and that's NO BULL.
