WORSE than mangled testes?!? Yer a sick man, Magnum. I like it.
As fir real and extreme news, this exerpt from an article on insurance will reveal something dreadful and heartbreaking: Nicole Kidman is not going to knee any of us in the nuts. Not even ME! Read on if you are strong of heart and can take the news that Kidman won'y be hrusting her knee up between your legs any time soon:
. . .Kidman injured her right knee during the filming of Moulin Rouge in Australia in 2000, which resulted in two claims for delays and a $3 million insurance loss. In 2001, she quit Panic Room after three weeks of shooting because of her knee, a decision that almost resulted in the entire production being canceled and a $54 million insurance claim. Fortunately for the insurer, the producers decided to continue with a replacement actress, Jodie Foster. Still, they had to pay $7 million for the delay and additional expenses. As a result of all these claims, Kidman's acting career was in limbo. When she was proposed as the star of Miramax's Cold Mountain, Lloyd's of London effectively turned her down by asking a 20 percent premium, which no movie could afford, while Fireman's Fund, after noting "we have really bent over backwards and taken risks on this that no one in the marketplace was willing to take," turned down coverage on the grounds that "the major fact that can't be changed is our paying three claims for this actress's knees over the years."
