"George Michael falls out of hospital door"

From The Evening Standard:

George Michael was readmitted to hospital after managing to fall out of a hospital door and is now being treated for injuries following the bizarre incident.

The star was carried back into the hospital with a head injury after being thrown several metres across the hospital loading-unloading bay by a revolving door which he had pushed so hard it managed to hit him in the back. His publicist Connie Filipello initially said his injuries were "superficial cuts and bruises. Again".

A statement on his website said: "We can confirm that George Michael has been readmitted to hospital and has recommenced rest and recuperation. He is well and thanks everyone for all the messages of support."

An eyewitness who was behind the 49-year-old singer told The Sun she saw him lying in the loading bay smeared with blood.

Katherine Fox, 23, said he was wearing a ripped dressing gown and pyjamas and his slippers had come off when she saw him. She stopped her mini to provide protection by preventing ambulances from hitting him. Fox said the former Wham! star had tried to push the door too hard and after being spun round was thrown out at 70 miles and hour.

Well as Dave Hartnett could tell him, you don't want to go anywhere near a revolving door, they have a tendency to project you into unwanted attention.

BE, no, Hartnett is using the revolting door.
