The big celebrity news this week was Morgan Freeman 's car accident in the Mississippi backwoods. From what police officials can tell, Morgan Freeman apparently fell asleep at the wheel and at some point the car went off the road and flipped before landing in a ditch. Morgan Freemen, who can be seen in the summer blockbuster hit, The Dark Knight, had to be freed from the car and its wreckage before being airlifted to a nearby hospital to be treated for a broken arm, broken elbow and shoulder damage. The good news is that at this time, Morgan is doing just fine. The surgery apparently went well and he is recovering as best as can be expected. We wish Morgan a very speedy recovery!

If any two celebrity exes know how to drag out a fight, it's Charlie Sheen and shoe lover Denise Richards . But this time, they're dragging their daughters' pediatrician into the middle of their feud. Apparently, Charlie and Denise disagree on several aspects of their children's lives, and one of those aspects is whether or not their girls, Sam and Lola, should be vaccinated or not. Charlie doesn't agree with vaccinating kids, while Denise thinks vaccinations are absolutely essential. Somehow Denise Richards was able to get her daughters vaccinated without Charlie stopping them. But he did eventually find out! And to retaliate, he decided to pay off his outstanding doctor's bill with a boxful of... nickels. That's right, Charlie Sheen paid off an almost $400 doctor's bill with nickels. If it had been me, I would've gone all the way and just paid it off in pennies.

Angelina Jolie just gave birth, but are she and Brad Pitt gearing up to adopt more kids into their family so soon? According the National Enquirer, they are! The rumor is that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have begun the process to adopt another child from an African country. But they're not stopping there, it looks like they also have plans to adopt a baby from China at some point in the future. That's going to be one full house!

Don't Leave Home Without Your Clutch

So, you have an evening out and you don't want to bring your huge handbag with you. What would a celebrity do, you ask? Well, clutches are huge among celebrities now. Not only do they use them for red carpet events, they also take them on vacations and for nights out on the town. Such celebrities as Cameron Diaz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Karina Smirnoff and Carrie Underwood have all been seen sporting clutches to big events and nights out around town. When you go for a clutch, keep it simple and remember that you can't put that many items into it. A makeup compact and a cell phone will probably just fit in one. A favorite with celebrities are cute dressy styles from Alexander McQueen and for a less dressy look, try Michael Kors.

What celebrity trend doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon? Plunging necklines. It seems like dresses and tops are getting lower and lower. Celebrities just love it. I guess if you have it you might as well flaunt, right? Well, that's what they are doing. At any red carpet event, you are likely to see at least one celebrity wearing a very daring, plunging neckline. Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron and Cynthia Nixon all wore plunging necklines to movie premieres this summer. While other celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Nicole Richie and Sandra Bullock have been seen wearing plunging necklines out around the town this summer. If you want to pull of this celebrity trend, you may want to purchase some double-sided tape to keep yourself from having a wardrobe malfunction. And, if you have a rather large chest, this celebrity trend may not be for you after all.

If you are not daring enough for a plunging neckline, then you still have a couple more weeks for cute summer sundresses. Long or short, celebrities love to relax or stroll around town shopping in sundresses. This is a definite celebrity fashion trend that all can wear. Pick a style of sundress that looks best on your body and you too can be a celebrity fashion diva.
