Morning Mix: Happy St. Patrick's Day!

  • Richardson Down with Head Injury. Natasha Richardson was taken to a Montreal hospital Monday night after going down in an apparent ski accident, in which she suffered a serious head injury. The Tony-winning star, 45, has yet to be released; husband Liam Neeson rushed immediately to Montreal when he heard the news. [People]
  • Homer & Co. Hit the Pubs Across the Pond. "The Simpons" will premiere an episode outside of the U.S. for the first time -- and will do so in Ireland and the UK, in honor of St. Patrick's Day. The folks behind the voices will be there, too, for a special event -- one in a News Corp.-sponsored slew that will honor the show's 20th anniversary. [Variety]
  • After a warrant was issued this past weekend for Lindsay Lohan's arrest -- a renewed effort by law enforcers to somehow tie up alcohol-education-related loose ends after her 2007 drunk-driving incident -- her lawyer appeared in court and was told the warrant would be recalled. The legal paperwork attracted more attention than it might've otherwise: this past weekend, Lohan and girlfriend Samantha Ronson were visited by police after they apparently smashed a window at their home in a domestic dispute. The following night, Lohan made an early-morning hours visit to the gate of Jack Nicholson's house. [MTV]
