Ben Stiller

Ben Stiller broke his arm in a snowboarding accident according to Gatecrasher and their write up of the incident was funnier than almost all of his films.

Ben Stiller was admitted to N.Y.’s Mount Sinai Hospital on Sunday with trauma to his paw. The funnyman’s injuries were a little less traumatic.Amidst much secrecy, “one of the hospital’s top hand specialists was called in to treat him,” a snitch on the scene reports. Of the mangled mit his rep had only this to say, “I can confirm that he broke his hand snowboarding.”

Stiller may have had to spend a scary “Night at the Museum,” but the comedy king got away with only an afternoon at the hospital. 

I heard it snowed in NYC, but I didn’t hear it snowed enough to snowboard in. Maybe that is how he broke his hand.

BTW the Gatecrasher article also talks about how Shia LaBeouf’s accident was worst than we thought.

Ben Stiller has signed on for another “Meet the Parents” spinoff. But, this time, if he has to wear a bathing suit, you can bet it’ll be a baggy one.

Robert De Niro, who’ll return in the sequel (due to be called either “The Little Fockers” or “The God-Focker”), loves busting Stiller’s chops about the Speedo swimsuit he wore in the first movie.

“You expect him to be flabby and pale,” De Niro recalled at Wednesday’s Museum of the Moving Image tribute to Stiller. “But he’s actually totally buff. But he overcomes this contradiction by having a really tiny –. And in that suit, it’s apparent to everyone!”

De Niro was but one of the so-called friends who put Stiller on the rotisserie.

Sean Combs told the Cipriani crowd that “I put Ben in my video for ‘Bad Boy for Life.’ I thought he’d return the favor. But I guess I wasn’t black enough to be in ‘Tropic Thunder.’ Robert Downey Jr. was a little blacker. But that’s fine. I’m trying not to let my animosity affect my introduction.”

Jack Black held Stiller responsible for making him run around town looking for a tux: “The lady at Bergdorf’s measured my neck and said ‘18.5 inches? That is too big, sir.’ So I walked three blocks to the big-and-tall store, where they welcomed me with beefy, open arms.”

Judd Apatow sent a video in which he remembered how Ben hired him, at 24 years old, as executive producer on “The Ben Stiller Show.” At the time, said Apatow, “I was writing jokes for Tom Arnold. Apparently that was good enough for Ben!”

Adam Sandler chimed in on the video: “This feels really kiss-a-y. You’re your own guy now, Judd. You don’t need to b– Stiller for the rest of your life.”
Mike Myers observed that “Ben is really good-looking and, because of my arrogance, I assumed he wasn’t funny.”

The evening, which included kinder words from Tom Cruise, baffled Jerry Stiller: “As I’m watching all this, I’m asking myself, ‘Am I the father?’”

Ben’s mom, comic Anne Meara, deadpanned, “When I first met Ben I was overweight, and it was via an emergency C-section.”

The review of his life seemed to leave Ben slightly numb. “I don’t really watch my own movies,” the funnyman told us before dedicating his award to Bono.

And why the shout-out to the U2 front man? “Just so I have something in common with him other than knowing all the words to ‘Achtung, Baby.’”
