Jesse Metcalfe Hospitalized

Former Desperate Housewives star Jesse Metcalfe is lucky to be alive.

The male Tara Reid (although he was never really as famous as Tara which makes him even more tragic) is recovering in a London hospital after falling 40 feet from a balcony in Monaco on Sunday night. Metcalfe reportedly hit his head and was left unconscious after slipping between a gap in a pathway at an afterparty following the World Music Awards.

Ummm, what? That makes no sense. What they need to say is “Jesse was completely hammered and fell over the ledge” at least that’s a story we can understand and buy. 

Metcalfe escaped the fall without suffering any broken bones and should be released from the hospital later today.

Our friend Jenny once told us drunks and babies usually survive crazy accidents because their bodies are so loosey-goosey. Sounds like Jesse had the luck of the drunk on his side.
