Grammy Nominated Modest Mouse Drummer Jeremiah Green Battling Late Stage Cancer
Jeremiah Green, drummer for Grammy-nominated rock band Modest Mouse, is fighting late-stage cancer, this according to his family.
His mom, Carol Namatame, posted a Facebook message about Jeremiah's diagnosis, but did not reveal his specific type of cancer. Carol asked everyone to "send healing vibes" to her son, whom she described as "so strong" and "so brave."
Seattle radio DJ Marco Collins also took to FB to give an update about his friend, saying Green had to slam the breaks on touring with the band so he could receive chemotherapy. Still, Collins says Green's "prognosis is good!"
Modest Mouse had been touring to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its popular second album, "The Lonesome Crowded West." Green, who's 45 years old, was last seen performing Dec. 1 in Los Angeles.
The indie rock band was nominated for Best Alternative Music Album at the 47th Grammy Awards in 2005. Green is a founding member of the group best known for the song, "Float On."

Christina Hall Reveals Major Health Scare ... Mercury & Lead Poisoning!!
Christina Hall just had a major health scare .. .and it might be tied to her passion for real estate and flipping houses.
Hall -- best known for her HGTV show "Flip or Flop" --- took to Instagram Thursday, claiming test results show she's suffering from mercury and lead poisoning, possibly from renovating old houses over many years.
She wrote, “My scan said I have mercury and lead poisoning. Most likely from all the gross houses I’ve been in (all the bad flips) and I have small intestine bacteria overgrowth.”
She added, “So we are first detoxing all of this through herbs and IVs and then [we’ll] see how I feel and tackle implants."
You may recall ... Hall discussed some of her other health issues last week, stemming from her breast implants or so she says.
“Been super exhausted lately so [I’m] on a kick to get back into my body," Christina said on IG. "I’ve had some unexplained health stuff for years, and now I’m considering the thought that this could be breast implant related." She also revealed she removed her under-eye filler because it caused an "inflammatory reaction.”
Her medical woes don't end there ... Hall also experiences “inflammation, autoimmune issues (Hashimoto’s disease, PCOS, Raynaud’s syndrome), unexplained skin rashes, joint and muscle pain, dry eyes, GI issues, SIBO, acid reflux, brain fog, hormone imbalances, swollen lymph nodes and adrenal fatigue.”
But, it's not all bad news for Christina ... she has settled her custody battle with her ex-husband Ant Anstead, slamming the brakes on a potentially grueling 2023 trial. The former couple will now "have joint legal and joint physical custody” of their 3-year-old son, Hudson.

Dozens of people were injured during a Hawaiian Airlines flight that required medical transport of at least 20 individuals -- this after several passengers were rocked in the air.

There are photos and videos circulating online right now that show some of the upper luggage compartments crushed ... presumably due to bodies crashing into them.
All in all, 36 people suffered injuries ... and 20 needed to be taken to the hospital, with 11 of them being listed in serious condition. There's video of some of these passengers being attended to on the ground -- you can see them in neck braces, getting gurneyed away.

The turbulence is reported to have hit about 30 minutes before the plane landed -- it's unclear what exactly caused it. A mix of passengers and crew members are said to have been harmed -- and the youngest of the bunch is reported to have been just 14 months old.
The plane was obviously able to land in the end, and HA says they're keeping tabs on everyone affected. They add, "Medical care was provided to several guests & crewmembers at the airport for minor injuries while some were swiftly transported to local hospitals for further care. We are supporting all affected passengers & employees and are continuing to monitor the situation."

The injuries sound intense, especially for the 11 who were utterly thrashed. They're described as bruises, lacerations, head injuries and even loss of consciousness for some. EMS workers responded to the incident as a "mass casualty emergency" upon touchdown.
It sounds like the turbulence hit out of nowhere, as some passengers are reported to not have had a chance to sit down and buckle their seatbelts. As for what could've possibly been the source of the turbulence -- the AP cites meteorologist with the NWS who cites reports of thunderstorms in the area that could've affected the Hawaiian Airlines flight path.

Slingshot Ride Horror Cord Snaps, Riders Crash Into Beam ... Scary Video Shows
A popular thrill ride went terrifyingly wrong in the UK when a massive cord snapped, hurling passengers directly into a support beam, and horrifying video shows the whole thing unfold.
The slingshot ride in London's Hyde Park normally shoots 2 people directly up in the air using 2 cords, as the name suggests ... but when one of the cords snaps off as guests launch up, they're catapulted directly into one of the support beams.
Guests at the park's Winter Wonderland event instantly start to panic as it smashes and whips around uncontrollably ... before dangling by the support of only 1 cord.
The riders were eventually escorted off the ride, according to a spokesperson for the event ... who told Daily Mail they were "checked by our on-site medics and were not injured." The spokesperson says an investigation is taking place, adding all other attractions are still operating.
Ride malfunctions at theme parks can sometimes lead to serious injuries, or even death -- as we reported, a 14-year-old boy fell to his death on a FreeFall ride in Orlando earlier this year ... and we were told the company that operates the ride was scrapping it as a result.

Mbappe peppered one of his shots over the goal mount -- and it, unfortunately, nailed a France supporter right in the noggin.
Pictures from the stadium in Qatar showed the guy was in a considerable amount of pain ... but, to Mbappe's credit, he ran over to make sure the dude was OK.
He grabbed the man's arm, and appeared to say he was sorry -- before bolting back to warm-ups.
Of course, we're sure the fan was feeling a whole lot better just minutes later -- 'cause France opened the game against Morocco with a goal in the first 300 seconds of the match.
France went on to win 2-0 -- and will now face Argentina in Sunday's finale.

The spokesperson said Shontz was booked on one count of aggravated assault.

The injury happened when Kyler escaped out of the pocket and went to plant his right foot before attempting a move on Pats' defender Matthew Judon.
Murray appeared to drag his right leg with him as he fell to the grass ... and many assumed his night -- and season -- were over.
Kyler was visibly emotional as he was carted off the field ... putting a towel over his head in frustration as players from both the Patriots and Cardinals gave their regards.
The Cards turned to backup QB Colt McCoy after Murray's injury ... but the team couldn't come away with the win, losing to New England, 27-13.

David Rudisha, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and one of the best middle-distance runners in the world, survived a horrifying plane crash -- and is grateful to be alive.
Rudisha, a native of Kenya, told the Nation newspaper his plane took off after he attended the annual Maasai Olympics event at the wildlife sanctuary in Kajiado South-East Kenya when disaster struck.
DR told the outlet about seven or eight minutes into the flight the engine malfunctioned, resulting in the plane going down in the Imbirkiana area in Kajiado.
"It was a scary episode where you hold your heart in your hand as you pray to God," Rudisha said. "The pilot did an incredible job to keep the plane afloat and stable for long."
Rudisha was on board with five other people at the time of the crash. Thankfully, no one was seriously injured, and they were all evacuated to Makindu Hospital for treatment.
"We thank God we all came out alive with some soft tissue injuries that were treated before all were discharged save for one," said Rudisha.
Unfortunately for Rudisha (or maybe fortunately), this isn't the first time the 2012 London and 2016 Rio Olympics 800m champion almost lost his life in a serious accident.
In 2019, the two-time Olympic champ's SUV crashed into a bus in a Kenyan village. Luckily, David escaped the crash with minor injuries.
"I had experienced some breathing difficulties after the accident, but I am fine," Rudisha said at the time. "All will be well since I am out of any grave danger...we thank God."
