Jake Gyllenhaal has been hospitalised
The actor, who co-starred in 2005's Oscar-winning Brokeback Mountain, was treated in a hospital emergency room after the accident on the set of Nightcrawler.
"While Jake was filming an intense scene ... his character purposefully banged his hand into the mirror. Unfortunately the mirror accidentally broke, and Jake's hand was badly cut up," his spokesperson Mara Buxbaum told AFP.
"He received numerous stitches at the ER and was released a couple hours later. He already returned to set for work," she added.
'Emotionally charged'
In the movie, 32-year-old Gyllenhaal plays a freelance reporter investigating Los Angeles' tought crime underworld. He has lost a lot of weight to prepare for the role, with some photos showing him looking alarmingly gaunt.
The incident happened on set Wednesday morning, according to a source cited by People magazine, adding that he was in character, at the end of an 18-hour day.
"Jake flipped out," the source told the celebrity bible. "His character was looking into a mirror during the scene and punched the mirror in anger and broke it, cutting himself so bad he had to be taken to a hospital."
"The scene was emotionally charged and his character was talking into a mirror and he got so into it, he banged his hands against the mirror and it broke and cut him."
The unidentified source added: "It was all the scene and not because he was mad about anything else."
Lady Gaga would have a three some with her boyfriend included
The Dope singer has been dating actor Taylor Kinney since meeting on the set of her video You and I in July 2012, and though she insists they are in a "monogamous" relationship, she is open to bringing another woman into the bedroom.
Asked by Sirius XM DJ Howard Stern if she would be open to sexual experimentation with more than one partner, she said: "That sounds like fun!"
She then added: "Here's the thing. I'm not the type of person that's having sex all the time with lots of random people. I don't do that. I'm in a monogamous relationship, we're having a good time, we've been together awhile . . . If it were to come up, it comes up."
The 27-year-old singer - who recently admitted battling an addiction to marijuana - feels "lucky" to be dating the 32-year-old hunk because he is accepting of her for who she is and doesn't care about her fame.
No relationship rules
She said: "I'm lucky to be with someone who has a great job and he cares about his job...
"To be fair, he has stuck it out with me for a very long time through drug habits and all those sorts of things. So he's a really lovely, amazing person. And he also doesn't care about me being famous. I'm not famous to him, I'm his baby."
And though they spend a lot of time apart, Gaga insists they don't have "rules" to keep their relationship strong and are comfortable having no contact for days at a time because they have so much trust in one another.
She said: "We don't have any rules about calling each other at certain times ... We'll go days at time without talking and then we'll talk for every day. The way that it really works is that we trust each other.

15 Top Defensive NFL Players on Instagram
Dontari Poe sack from @poemans_dream |
I have put together a list of some of the best known defensive player that are also active using IG. I am not going to include any players that have just a couple of photos, these are also top players that have shared lots of pictures with fans. They share shots of the team, press and media events as well as personal shots with their family and friends. As with offense, the list is skewed toward younger players as they are much more likely to be active on IG than older players.
So without further ado, here are some of the best defensive players to follow on Instagram organized into defensive categories (in alpha order within each category).
Defensive Linemen
Cameron Jordan, Defensive End (New Orleans Saints)
A 3rd year player in the NFL, Jordan is a big part of the resurgent Saints defense in 2013. Jordan has been a solid force in both the run game and pass rush for the Saints. Through just 5 games, he has already logged half the sacks (4) that he had in all of 2012.

Dontari Poe, Defensive Tackle (Kansas City Chiefs)
Kansas City has put together one of the stingiest defenses in the NFL in 2013 and 2nd year player, Poe, is one of the keys to that defense. He has logged 4.5 sacks through 5 games of the seasons and over 19 combined tackles. This exciting young player out of University of Memphis is definitely worth following.

Robert Quinn, Defensive End (St. Louis Rams)
In just his 3rd season in the League, Quinn has established himself as one of the sacks leaders in the NFL. He logged 10.5 sacks in 2012 and has already achieved half that number through 5 games in 2013. He is also an active IG user.

Linebackers
Lance Briggs, Middle Linebacker (Chicago Bears)
With the retirement of Brian Urlacher in 2012, the Bears staunch defense became Briggs squad and he has relished the challenge and was leading the league in tackles through 5 games. In his 11th season in the League, he is no longer the fastest linebacker but he makes up for that with brains and a nose for the football.

Clay Matthews, Middle Linebacker (Green Bay Packers)
With the retirement of Ray Lewis and Brian Urlacher, Matthews becomes the most well known Linebacker in the NFL. As the anchor of the Green Bay defense, Matthews is fun to follow. He has not yet started to share many photos but hopefully he will soon.

Robert Mathis, Outside Linebacker (Indianapolis Colts)
Mathis is playing in his 11th season in the NFL and yet he is still has one of the quickest pass rushes in the League. He has logged over 100 sacks in the NFL during his career and is off to a blistering pace in 2013 with 9.5 sacks through 5 games.

Shaun Phillips, Outside Linebacker (Denver Broncos)
The Broncos are on a roll this year and currently #1 in the power rankings. While the offense is amazing, their defense has been incredibly good this year too. Phillips is one of the reasons why the defense is so improved. Coming over from San Diego this year, Phillips has brought an aggressive pass rush and has already logged 5.5 sacks through 5 games. He is very active on IG having shared over 600 photos.

Smith has quickly become one of the best pass rushers in the game. In just his 3rd year in the league, he has already registered over 38 sacks. He was second in 2012, with 19.5 sacks. He has a bright NFL career ahead and a good player to follow on Instagram.
