I hope she's okay!! *sniffle*

Thank you for updating the thread! I hope she's okay to! She has been moved to New York. I wish her a speedy recovery!

I think Rihanna is trying to salvage her relationship with Brown, but I cannot understand how she could go back to him after that.

[ALittaM]

I've actually read on an Italian online newspaper that Natasha is supposed to be seriously injured. She is probably going to die in a few hours I've also read on a news site that she's been taken to New York "to die with her family"

I cannot believe such things happened. It is really a tragedy, I pray for a miracle, she is a talented actress and a great person.

[ChrisM]

I just read the report for TMZ that she does appear to be brain damaged. This is so sad. I feel so sorry for her family. Goodness... I'll join in prayers for a miracle.

Here's a little update:

Family Friend: 'There Is No Chance' for Natasha Richardson As Natasha Richardson remained in a New York hospital, her family and friends had all but given up hope that she'll recover from a severe head injury. "There is no chance," a family friend told PEOPLE on Tuesday night. "It is a fact that her heart is beating but she is brain dead." Her dire condition - doctors described it to those close to Richards as "leakage of blood between the brain and skull," the friend says - has the actress's family coming to grips with potentially having to make an unthinkably difficult decision. "It's not official yet," says the friend, "but they basically will detach her." Richardson, 45, the daughter of actress Vanessa Redgrave, suffered a devastating head injury Monday while skiing on a beginner's slope outside Montreal during a trip with at least one of her two sons. Her husband, Liam Neeson, 56, raced from a Toronto movie set to be with her as she was hospitalized. On Tuesday, a private jet brought them both to New York, where family and friends gathered for a vigil. Reps for the family have declined to comment on Richardson's medical condition.

I really hope she gets better. I'm definitely going to be pulling for her...

[ChrisM]

People usually gets things accurate, which is horrible in this case. But I hope there is a turn around or that the immediate family knows something else. I just really hope.

[ladyle]

yeah, people mag is usually the most accurate. i don't mind her family being tight-lipped...it's understandable.

[KerBear]

I was just watching The Parent Trap the other day and I love Natasha's character. I pray for Natasha and for her family. it doesnt sound good though

[ladyle]

TMZ reported that she was taken off life support..BUT there's nothing official from the family. So, I'm taking that with a grain of salt. I loved her in Parent Trap...it's my fave. version.

[KerBear]

just so incredibly sad

ETA: the reports are coming in that Natasha passed away

[ChrisM]

yeah I just saw on the news that she has now passed away. This is so very sad. May she rest in peace and I feel for her family.

[Ron_Cullen]

I saw the news of Natasha's death on the CNN website. For a second I had to do a double take and though, "what not she didn't." And then it was on Yahoo news. Those two are credible sources so how can they be doubted?

That's such terrible news. My heart and prayers go out to her family. I remember her most from The Parent Trap.

[ladyle]

Yeah, I just saw it now on CNN myself. My thoughts are with her whole family.

From Access Hollywood:

NEW YORK, NY -- Star of stage and screen Natasha Richardson died Wednesday following a serious head injury on a Canadian ski slope on Monday. She was 45. Richardson's husband Liam Neeson and her family, released a statement on Wednesday afternoon to Access Hollywood confirming the news. "Liam Neeson, his sons, and the entire family are shocked and devastated by the tragic death of their beloved Natasha," the statement read. "They are profoundly grateful for the support, love and prayers of everyone, and ask for privacy during this very difficult time." Richardson's accident occurred at Station Mont Tremblant near Montreal while the Tony-winning star was taking a lesson. "Natasha Richardson fell in a beginners trail while taking a ski lesson at Station Mont Tremblant," a rep for the ski resort said in a statement released to Access. "Approximately an hour after the incident Mrs. Richardson was not feeling good. An ambulance was called and Mrs. Richardson was brought to the Centre Hospitalier Laurentien in Ste-Agathe and was later transferred to Hospital du Sacre-Coeur." Upon news of the accident, Richardson's husband, Neeson, who was filming the movie "Chloe," in Toronto, rushed to his wife's side. On Tuesday, Richardson was flown to the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, where family and friends gathered, including sons Micheal Richard Antonio, 13, Daniel Jack, 12, sister Joely Richardson, mother Vanessa Redgrave and aunt Lynn Redgrave. Richardson was the elder daughter of Oscar-winning Redgrave and the late director Tony Richardson. Her sister, Joely, is also an actress, best known for starring in the TV series "Nip/Tuck." Richardson's screen work included "Gothic," "A Month in the Country," "Nell" (in which she appeared with her then-future husband, Neeson), "The Parent Trap" and "Maid in Manhattan." Richardson won a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her role as Sally Bowles in the 1998 revival of "Cabaret" on Broadway. Richardson and Neeson wed in 1994. Their first son, Micheal Richard Antonio, was born in 1995, and their second, Daniel Jack, the following year. In January, the actress starred alongside her mother in a one-night benefit concert version of the Stephen Sondheim-Hugh Wheeler musical "A Little Night Music," at Studio 54 in New York.
