Published | Updated

The night before announcing he was infected with the dreaded pig virus, Marilyn Manson was busy blowing loads of snot on stage at a concert in Ottawa.

In the video -- shot on Sunday in Canada -- Manson is performing "Beautiful People" when he suddenly, disgustingly decides to empty flu goo from both nostrils ... while standing only a few feet away from the fans in the front row.

Let's hope Swine Flu is snot as contagious as everyone thinks it is.

The bad news: Rod Stewart's son Sean just wrecked a Bentley Continental GTC worth about $200,000.

The good news: It was a rental.

We're told Sean wrecked the Bentley on Sunset Blvd., near Boa Steakhouse. It happened at around 3 PM PT. He was renting the expensive ride from Beverly Hills Rent-A-Car for $2,500 a day.

Madden Curse Strikes Troy -- Cover Boy Injured

Published | Updated

It took only one week -- but the ruthless Madden video game curse struck again last night.

After making one of the sickest interceptions you're going to see all year, 2010 Madden co-cover guy Troy Polamalu went down with a sprained MCL in his knee during the 2nd quarter of last night's Steelers-Titans game.

It's no coincidence ... no fluke ... he should've seen it coming.

Players who have graced the cover of the Madden video game box have been doomed since 2002 -- Marshall Faulk, Ray Lewis, Vince Young, Shaun Alexander ... and of course Michael Vick.

The evil twist -- this year, Troy shares the cover with Arizona Cardinals superstar Larry Fitzgerald. Might be a good time to trade him off your fantasy squad...

Scott Weiland Marsha Brady'd at Notre Dame

Published | Updated

Former Stone Temple Pilots front man Scott Weiland could never make it in the NFL -- and the proof is in the massive gashes on his face.

After the 41-year-old singer showed up to an event in West Hollywood Wednesday night sans a chunk of his cheek -- everyone was looking for some kind of explanation ... and finally, we got it.

TMZ spoke with Weiland's rep, who blamed Scott's facial damage on his inability to catch a football.

The rep says Scott -- who's a huge Notre Dame fan -- was tailgating at the game last weekend and throwing the pigskin around with a couple of buddies ... when he accidentally caught one with his face.

Judging by the damage -- whoever threw that ball has a friggin' rocket for an arm.

The Green Hornet Strikes ... a Police Car

Published | Updated

The Green Hornet's car loses control, bangs into a cop car and then smashes into a wall -- cool stunt ... or major mishap on the set?!

TMZ obtained the footage of a movie crew shooting an action sequence in L.A. for the upcoming Seth Rogen flick, "The Green Hornet" -- and the footage could reveal a very expensive screw up.

In the first clip, The Hornet's car -- the Black Beauty -- speeds around the obstacles and escapes into the street.

The crew resets to shoot the scene again, except this time the Black Beauty appears to lose control -- hits the obstacles and crew members scramble to remove the driver from the wreckage.

You never know what's intentional on a movie set -- but so far, we're unable to reach a rep from Columbia Pictures to confirm that this crash wasn't planned.
