The Edge Too Close to the Edge Big Fall
The Edge still can't find what he's looking for ... in this case, the rest of the stage.
U2 opened up its "Innocence + Experience" world tour Thursday in Vancouver. As the band played its iconic hit, "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" ... Edge went flying offstage.
After the show he posted he was fine, writing, "Didn't see the edge, I'm ok!! #U2ieTour." Looks like his arm is badly scraped.
The band is already operating at less than 100% -- Bono suffered a terrible bike accident in NYC last November that required two surgeries.

Suge Knight I Got My Mind Made Up Don't Remove My Tupac Bullet!
Suge Knight has given doctors a piece of his mind ... refusing to have a bullet fragment removed that’s been lodged in his head for the past 19 years ... a bullet intended for Tupac Shakur.
Rewind to 1996 … Knight infamously drove the car carrying Tupac the night of the rap legend’s drive-by murder off the Las Vegas strip.
One of the bullets missed Tupac but grazed Suge's head; a fragment lodged in his skull, and was never removed.
Here's the problem. Suge's in bad shape as he lingers in a jail cell, and doctors want to perform an MRI so they can figure out why he keeps passing out. But the bullet fragment causes interference with the machine, so doctors want to remove it.
Suge’s attorney, Matthew Fletcher, tells us Knight thinks he'll die if doctors start screwing with his head and try to remove the fragment, especially given his fragile state.
Aside from medical concerns, you gotta admit ... how cool is it to have a Tupac bullet in your head?

Johnny Depp Accused of Pup Smuggling Dogs Get Death Sentence
Captain Jack Sparrow got carried away with the smuggling -- Johnny Depp's 2 Yorkshire Terrier pups have a death sentence hanging over their heads because Depp allegedly snuck them into Australia.
Australian officials say Johnny and Amber Heard failed to declare Boo and Pistol when they arrived on a private jet last month. Under Australian law the dogs are supposed to be quarantined for a minimum of 10 days ... just to make sure they're not carrying any foreign diseases into the fragile ecosystem.
If Johnny, or more accurately ... Boo and Pistol don't hightail it out of Oz by Saturday -- the country's Agriculture minister says they will be put down.
A rep for Johnny -- who's down there shooting the 5th 'Pirates' flick -- told the AP the dogs are under a "home quarantine" ... but wasn't more specific than that.
Pretty harrrrsh sentence ... but Aussie officials say the law is the law.

Pres. Candidate Dr. Ben Carson My Latest Speech Lacks Teeth

The Republican hopeful -- who made a name for himself in 1987 as the first neurosurgeon to separate twins conjoined at the head -- was stumping at Tommy's Country Ham House in Greenville, South Carolina where he chowed down on scrambled eggs, grits and ham biscuits when he noticed a bonus on his plate ... his front tooth had fallen out.
The good doc stared into his plate, thought for a second then discretely placed the errant chomper into his shirt pocket.
Carson then stood up and delivered an impassioned speech ... with a hint of whistle.

Cissy Houston Hints Family Won't Use Heroic Measures To Save Bobbi Kristina
Pat Houston is now sharing the controls with Bobby Brown on what to do with Bobbi Kristina ... and it appears a rift may be brewing, because a Houston family member strongly indicates she does not want to use heroic measure to save Bobbi.
As TMZ reported ... a judge made Bobby and Pat co-guardians a few days ago, which gives them joint responsibility for Bobbi Kristina's care. As we first reported, Bobbi Kristina is suffering from irreversible brain damage and the prospects of getting better are slim to none, barring a miracle.
Pat says she and Bobby are working as a family to make the right decisions, but there seems to be a clear division. Cissy told "Entertainment Tonight," "She's not gone yet, but you know, whatever the Lord decides, I'm ready for her ... I have nothing to do with that. That's His job."
Bobby, on the other hand, has made it clear he will do whatever it takes to keep his daughter alive, including using heroic measures if she begins to slip away. Some member of the Houston family have strongly indicated they are not inclined to use such measures.
If Bobbi Kristina's condition begins to deteriorate and if Pat and Bobby can't reach an agreement, it will probably be left in the hands of a judge to decide the fate of Whitney Houston's daughter.
The 2 families have been largely at odds since Bobbi Kristina entered the hospital.

Disneyland Mom Pluto's a Brute!!! He Hurt My Son
A little boy was hurt when he was manhandled by Pluto at Disneyland ... and his mom says theme park officials tried to keep the incident on the QT.
It happened Thursday in Toontown, when 8-year-old Ethan walked up to Pluto to give him a hug. The Plutonic cast member obliged, but when you watch the video in slow mo it appears he hyperextends Ethan's back. The boy begins to cry almost immediately, saying he's in pain.
Ethan and his mom Laurie were told to go to the first aid station, but they didn't want to walk the distance because Ethan was hurting. A nurse came over, examined Ethan and told Laurie he was fine.
Ethan said he felt sick and wanted to go home, so Laurie asked for a wheelchair so her son didn't have to walk to the car. Laurie says the employees refused her request and said she could take Ethan in a stroller. Laurie believes the park didn't want to highlight the injury with a wheelchair.
The boy tried but couldn't tolerate the stroller -- so Laurie demanded medical attention and paramedics took Ethan to the hospital for x-rays. Doctors believe Ethan has severe muscle strain.
Laurie tells us, a Disney rep showed up at the hospital, apologized for the way things were handled, offered to pay the hospital bill, and brought them El Pollo Loco for dinner.
Laurie says she was also told Pluto was disciplined for roughing up Ethan.
A Disneyland Resort rep tells TMZ, "we are in contact with the family and are in the process of gathering the facts." As for refusing to give Ethan a wheelchair, a rep tells us they don't believe that happened.
