"House" star Hugh Laurie is a marked man -- thanks to someone else's fists of fury.

While at the Ivy in London the other day, the 50-year-old actor showed off the nasty shiner he got while boxing.
If only he was a doctor and didn't just play one on TV ...

Brittany Murphy's husband, Simon Monjack, was rushed to a hospital at LAX this afternoon after his plane landed at LAX. And we're told Britney didn't think it was serious enough for her hubby to go to the hospital, but the fire department disagreed.
The flight from Puerto Rico landed in Los Angeles at 2:40 PM today. We're told Monjack was incoherent when EMTs boarded the plane.
Murphy told the responding fire dept. personnel she thought it was an asthma attack, but the EMTs felt it could be more serious than that.
We don't know his condition.
We've left a message for Brittany's rep, but have not heard back.

15-year-old pop thing Justin Bieber is known for breakin' the hearts of 12-year-old girls -- but last night, he finished off his show by breaking his foot.

After his concert in London, Justin posted the above pic of his foot in a cast on his Twitter -- along with a play-by-play on how he hurt himself, saying, "In the last song ONE TIME i tripped over something on stage coming down the ramp and felt my ankle roll in a very bad way.
turns out I fractured my foot and had to finish the song on a broken foot. After i was done i was in such pain i skipped the encore and got off stage and back to see the medics."
It's clear from the video he's hurtin' -- fortunately his loyal army of 12-year-olds are willing to nurse him back to health.

Nicole Richie was telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth Monday in court when she said she wasn't feeling well -- because now she's holed up in a hospital, sick as a dog.
Richie ended up having pneumonia ... and is now being treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in L.A., this according to her rep.
Richie's cough-filled testimony on Monday still did the job -- she was granted restraining orders against two paparazzi she claimed caused her to get into a car accident.

David Beckham only wore one shoe out in Los Angeles last night -- because his other billion-dollar foot was wrapped up in a medical boot.

Devastating news for the 8 L.A. Galaxy fans out there who expect Beckham -- and his powerful right foot -- to lead the soccer squad to a championship Sunday afternoon.
So far, it's unclear what's wrong with the foot ... or ankle ... but one thing's for sure -- maybe he shouldn't be carrying the kids around on it?

Brock Lesnar is currently recovering from minor surgery, this according to UFC president Dana White.

It's unclear what operation was performed on the reigning UFC heavyweight champ -- or when it was performed -- but White, through his Twitter page, insists Brock is already "feeling better."
White added, "Not 100% sure he is out of the woods but feeling better."
As we previously reported, Lesnar is currently being hospitalized with some sort of intestinal disorder so severe, he may never fight again.

Brock Lesnar is so sick, he'll be going to the Mayo Clinic so doctors can figure out what to do -- but it will probably require major surgery ... UFC Prez Dana White tells TMZ.
White tells us Lesnar -- the UFC heavyweight champ -- is "very, very sick" with some sort of intestinal disorder, although listening to White, it sounds a lot more serious than that. White says the condition will require "major surgery."
White is going to visit Lesnar in the hospital and is trying to get him transferred to the Mayo Clinic, one of the most renowned medical facilities in the world.
White says Lesnar -- formerly of the WWE -- was diagnosed with mono more than a week ago and was "bummed out" that he had to cancel the fight and went to Canada to rest. White says Lesnar collapsed in Canada a week ago today and has been hospitalized ever since.
White acknowledges the current condition is not mono but he will not be specific. White says the condition is not HIV or cancer.
And, White tells TMZ, "There's a possibility Lesnar will never fight again."

Imagine hearing a pilot ask, "Is there a doctor on the plane?" -- and the person who jumps up is the pumped up, cleavage bearing, sleeve-deficient boob-job specialist Dr. Rey!

Last night in Jersey, the chesty "Dr. 90210" star told us how he sprung into action when passengers suspected an 11-year-old Scandanavian girl was coming down with the swine flu during the flight.
Though he didn't have a quarantine bubble available, Rey claims he did the best he could -- treating the sick little girl with a quick fix of sugar, water and instructed her to get further medical assistance after landing.
It's the second time Rey has "saved the day" during a flight -- back in May '06, the karate expert helped take down an 80-year-old man who rushed the cabin.

Brock Lesnar -- the UFC Heavyweight Champ -- is in "bad shape" according to UFC president Dana White and won't be fighting anytime soon.
White made the announcement after UFC 105 last night, saying "He's in a hospital up in North Dakota somewhere right now. He went to Canada and some bad stuff happened to him, so we've got to figure it out ... He doesn't want to talk about it publicly, but he's in bad shape. He's not well and he's not going to be getting well anytime soon."
Lesnar originally pulled out of a November 18 fight and reports suggested he had swine flu. The fight was rescheduled for January 2, but then it was announced Lesnar had mononucleosis.
But White made it clear, Lesnar's problems go beyond mono: "He is not good. He is very, very sick and he's going to be out for a while."

... bruises.

Never have we been so grateful to see someone show off one of their "Dancing with the Stars" injuries.
Sure beats The Woz and that fractured foot bone.
