"Desperate Housewives" in Critical Condition

Posted Oct 15th 2008 2:28PM by TMZ Staff

We've learned Gale Harold, the actor who plays Teri Hatcher's boyfriend on "Desperate Housewives," was seriously injured yesterday in a motorcycle accident. And, contrary to what Harold's rep says, a hospital spokesperson just told us the actor is in "critical condition."

He's being treated at the L.A. County - USC Medical Center in the Intensive Care Unit. We're told his shoulder was screwed up. Harold's rep just issued a statement saying his shoulder was fractured and he's in "stable condition," despite what the hospital rep said. And the slightly ominous words from his rep -- "Everyone is hopeful for a full recovery."

"D.H." creator Marc Cherry says Harold has swelling of the brain but is expected to recover.

BTW, Harold also starred in "Queer as Folk."

3. That's what you get for being an idiot and riding a motorcycle. Helmet or not, it's not a good thing to do. Anyone in this day and age that rides a motorcycle deserves the injuries they receive.

5. Not Gale! I have been a huge fan since QAF. LOVED him as Brian Kinney.
Gale is so hot and such a great actor.
Hope he is ok.

12. No, since I don't ride a motorcycle, that makes me smart, not a fool!

13. Motorcycles + LA traffic = accident(s). It sounds like a good idea. Hop on a motorcycle and zip through traffic almost effortlessly until some old lady or those who cannot see even a big rig pull out or lane change in front of you. I personally know of 3 people at work who have been in accidents while trying to ride a motorcycle. I have witnessed a motorcycle accident (the guy on the motorcycle clipped a car on the 10 fwy), and he lost control...luckily for him traffic wasn't moving that fast.

Brad Pitt zooms around town on a motorcycle, and so do others, but one thing that the safe drivers have in common is that they don't zip in and out of tricky situations. They go with the flow...I've asked those who don't get into accidents what they do..etc.

I want to ride a motorcycle, but I just don't trust most of the idiots on the road here in the TMZ.

14. Sorry to hear, but personally, I can't stand him with Terry Hatcher anyway. He reminds me of that Danny Pelosi guy who murdered that rich woman in NY.

15. Motorcycles scare me. Looking at the odds, just with people I've known, not so good. Those people are so vulnerable. I treat motorcycles differently than cars when I drive. I give them more room, I watch more closely, etc. I try to be extremely careful not to ever hit one. They don't have such a great chance in a wreck. So dangerous.

On another note, I checked out the View blog site. The censorship on that thing is such a joke.
