Hugh Jackman and daughter Ava played around in the snow today, tossing a few snowballs at a photog as they walked through the West VIllage. 

Let it snow.

Some big media outlets got snookered today by reporting that Dolph Ziggler -- the WWE wrestler Hugh Jackman "punched" on Monday Night Raw -- sustained a hairline fracture. 

Ziggler tweeted he suffered the injury and got an MRI to confirm the fracture.

But sources close to the wrestler and others in the know tell TMZ ... the whole thing was made up by Ziggler.  There is no MRI and no fracture, although we are told Hugh really did pack a punch and Ziggler was in pain.

We're told the WWE wasn't in on the scam.

A scam in wrestling?  Get out.

Hugh Jackman cold cocked WWE star Dolph Ziggler with an awesome right-handed punch ... but luckily for Hugh it all went down inside a wrestling ring.

Wolverine was guest hosting Monday Night RAW in Cleveland last night ... when he decided to jump fist-first into the action.

Hugh is a good actor.

Just when you thought he couldn't get anymore yoked, Hugh Jackman left a NYC gym on Wednesday and exposed his ridiculously ripped guns.



The 42-year-old is so vein.

Hugh Jackman taught his daughter Ava a very important lesson today in New York -- never turn your back to your father ... cause he may pelt you with a snowball.


Lesson learned.

Hugh Jackman showed off the nasty stitches he received on his right eye after crashing into a lighting rig while performing a zip-line stunt on "Oprah" this morning in Australia.



Despite his injury, Hugh was all smiles as he left a cafe near Bondi Beach this afternoon.

Wolverine is no joke.

Hugh Jackman tried to impress the crowd while filming Oprah Winfrey's Australian show in Sydney today -- but instead injured himself when his stunt went awry.



Zooming onto the stage on a zip-line, Hugh hit the brakes too late, crashed into a lighting rig and injured his right eye.

Oprah broke filming so paramedics could check him out -- and he then continued the segment with a bandage under his eye.

Super hunks Gerard Butler (40) and Hugh Jackman (42) shared a smile and a side hug while posing for a picture at an event last night.


The question is... 

Hugh Jackman's celebrity may be partly to blame for a nasty two-car accident in NYC ... this according to one of the drivers involved in the crash.


It all went down this afternoon ... a TMZ photographer was shooting Hugh when a van and a Jetta collided across the street.

Our guy ended up interviewing one of the drivers involved in the accident -- who explained that he was looking for his next turn when, "I see all these cameras and I see Hugh Jackman. Next thing I know, I went to take the turn ... BAM."

Kinda like insurance rates ... BAM!

Hugh Jackman hit up the Eminem/Jay-Z show in Detroit on Thursday -- and while he wasn't in full "White Man's Overbite" mode, he definitely stands out (and not just because he's Hugh Jackman).

Along with his gorgeous wife Deborra-Lee and adorable daughter Ava, Hollywood hunk Hugh Jackman rode around Manhattan on their Razor scooters on Wednesday.


The family that skoots together stays together.
