Poor, sweet Jenna Fischer! She broke her back in four places when she took a tumble down some marble stairs a couple
of weeks ago and it looks like she'll spend the rest of the summer recovering from her injuries. She recently
gave an interview about her accident, and says she felt her feet fly out from underneath her and landed hard on the stairs. She says the pain "was consuming and immediate. I never felt anything like it." She's still in pain, but manages to keep a sunny outlook in the interview (isn't that why we adore her?).
Jenna has slowly been on the mend since the May 14th accident. She has been in a lot of pain and has not been able to travel back home to Los Angeles (she's in NYC). She's been taking slow walks in Central Park to try and heal her back. Jenna says she has received warm wishes from cast members of
The Office, and even got some cupcakes from Zach Braff, who happened to be at the party where she fell.
Luckily, Jenna had just wrapped shooting a movie with John C. Reilly where they play a skewed version of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash so it's just her summer vacation, and not her work schedule, that is being interrupted. Jenna has to rest and recover for the next 12 weeks, and then it's right back to the set of
The Office. You can send her your well wishes at her
MySpace page.

Apparently Ms. Jenna Fischer had a bit of a tumble involving some high heels and a marble staircase. Whitney over at
Pop Candy is reporting that Fischer fell down some stairs on Monday as she was trying to maneuver in very high heels. Jenna broke her back in four places. She was in New York at the time and now is being cared for by her husband, filmmaker James Gunn, and
The Office co-star, Angela Kinsey. You can send her a Get Well Soon note at her
MySpace page.
The Office has wrapped for the season so her injury won't hamper her role as Pam Beesly, but it's going to be a crappy summer for sweet Jenna.

What did Katharine McPhee do to tip the balance in the universe so bad things happen to her? Maybe it's because she continues to sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow as if she wrote the song herself. Earlier this week, she broke her foot during a performance. Her wranglers say she tripped on something backstage at the
Idols concert in Charlotte, North Carolina. She sang two songs wearing "slipper sandals" (huh?) and then went directly to the hospital for x-rays, which revealed a broken left foot. She had just rejoined the tour last Friday after suffering from bronchitis and laryngitis. This mishap, however, is not enough for her to leave the tour.

Remember how my Dwight Schrute bobblehead arrived
in two pieces? That was July 12th. On that day, I called NBC customer service and the genius on the telephone told me not to send it back and that someone would call me in 1-2 business days with instructions. Guess what? It's been nine business days and not a peep. I had nearly forgotten about it, except I was cleaning boxes off the dining room table and found Broken Dwight. I called NBC customer service again, and this time the guy told me that I should've sent it back. Ya think? I also have to pay for postage. And Dwight is so popular that I probably won't get one until September.
Am I in an episode of
The Office?
