Carrie Fisher HOSPITALIZED After Bipolar Episode on Caribbean Cruise Ship
Carrie Fisher was hospitalized following a bizarre performance on board a Caribbean cruise ship last week -- and her rep tells TMZ, it was all caused by the actress' bipolar disorder.
Video footage surfaced of the performance -- which took place last week on board the Holland America Eurodam in the Caribbean -- showing Carrie slurring a couple off-key songs. Her dog even POOPS AND PEES on the stage while she's singing. It's pretty nuts.
There were reports Carrie -- who was featured on the cruise as a "surprise" celebrity guest -- was wasted at the time of the show ... but her rep says the on-stage breakdown was caused by Fisher's bipolar disorder.
The rep says, "There was a medical incident related to Carrie Fisher’s bipolar disorder. She went to the hospital briefly to adjust her medication and is feeling much better now."
Carrie -- a recovering drug addict -- has publicly discussed her bipolar disorder in the past. The rep says it's unclear if Carrie will return to perform on the cruise ship again.

Skyfall's Robbie Maddison Catches Major Air ... And a Ride to the Hospital [VIDEO]
If you wanna see a grown man jack up his shoulder 25 feet in the air ... or a $250,000 video camera blasted into pieces -- motocross stud Robbie Maddison delivers both in these gnarly outtakes from his latest film.
TMZ has the never-before-seen footage of Robbie shooting "AIR.CRAFT" for DC Shoes -- and it includes shots of him pulling a Ruler over a mothballed airplane.
It looks like the stunt goes off without a hitch ... but in reality, Robbie separates his right shoulder in the middle of it -- and paramedics had to rush him to a hospital.
Robbie did all of Daniel Craig's motorcycle stunts in "Skyfall" ... and says the movie's stunt coordinator, Gary Powell, helped him come up with the insane jumps for 'AIR.'
"Gary would describe motorcycle stunts he hasn't been able to do in the movie world and I was like, that's totally possible."
Another casualty on set was the high-def video camera that got smashed into the ground during a low-angle driving shot -- a simple quarter-of-a-million-dollar blunder.
Despite the setbacks, Robbie and co. were able to complete shooting in 2 days. Click here to see the awesome full film.

Steve Wilkos' Head SLAMMED with Metal Bowl In Talk Show Brawl

Sources connected to the show tell us, the former "Jerry Springer" bodyguard was hit just above the eye and temporarily lost his vision -- but ultimately, there was no serious injury.
The fight erupted at a taping this week during a segment called "My daughter tried to poison me" ... shocker.

90s Star 'Parker Lewis' Check Out My Post-Crash Franken-Leg
The guy who played 90s smartass Parker Lewis wasn't lying when he said he shattered his leg in a boating accident -- TMZ has obtained a photo of his reassembled mass of leg flesh ... and it's GNARLY.
As we reported, 41-year-old Corin Nemec was involved in a near-death accident in Belize last month that left his femur broken in three places. Nemec was riding on a Coast Guard vessel -- on his way to the set of his new movie "Poseidon Rex" -- when it crashed into a semi-submerged barge and sent him flying.
Nemec says he lost over half the blood in his body -- and required several transfusions to save his life.
But now, Parker Lewis is finally facing a problem he can't fix -- Nemec tells TMZ, the insurance company that's supposed to pay his medical bills is threatening to cut him off ... if he doesn't sign a scary contract.
According to Nemec, the insurance company wants him to sign an agreement that releases both the insurance company AND the production company from liability stemming from the accident ... aka Nemec can't sue either of them for a massive settlement. If he doesn't sign, it's bye-bye hospital money.
So now Nemec's got a choice -- take the insurance money to pay his medical bills ... or try his luck in court in order to win even MORE money.
We're told Nemec's still sweating the decision -- and is currently exploring his legal options. Tick tock. A rep for the insurance company tells us, "We do not discuss matters relating to insured’s claims."
