Cate Blanchett suffered a head injury Wednesday after she was hit by a prop during a live performance in her native Australia, according to reports.

The actress, 40, was performing in A Streetcar Named Desire at The Sydney Theatre Company when cast member Joel Edgerton threw a radio, as per the script, and it hit Blanchett on the head.

An audience member tells the Sydney Morning Herald that “she had blood streaming down the back of her head and blood on the back of her neck.”

Adds the witness, “She acted for about another 30 seconds, then ran into what we thought was the next scene, but before we knew it the lights were turned on and we were told there were technical difficulties and everyone had to evacuate the Sydney Theatre Company.”

A rep for Blanchett has yet to issue a statement.

What do you think?

“Rabbit Hole,” starring Nicole Kidman and Aaron Eckhart, is an adaptation of David Lindsay-Abaire’s Pulitzer prize-winning drama about a fraying family.

The story traces the life of a happily married couple that is disrupted by an unexpected tragedy and the emotional journey they must undertake to regain happiness.

Kidman plays a suburban mother dealing with the loss of a child. Eckhart will play Kidman’s husband, who is trying to hold on to the memory of his dead son while dealing with his emotionally removed wife.

With a budget of less than $10 million, a brisk 28-day shoot “Rabbit Hole” is more like an indie than a Hollywood production.

“This is a passion project for Nicole,” Eckhart said, “The reason why I’m in the movie is Nicole. If she wants to work with somebody, then that’s what happens.”

“When I first responded to it, it was because I read it, and it was about grief, which fascinates me,” Kidman said. “Loss and love seem to be themes that run through my work.”

This film is about “a marriage and the way that people fuse through pain, that you can either be pulled apart or you can come together. In the same way that ‘Birth,’ a film that I did, was about loss of the loved one who’s your partner in life, this is the most profound loss, and it’s the worst place to tread. And so my nature tends to be to explore something that I’m terrified of.” [source: NYTimes.com]

The movie is directed by John Cameron Mitchell from the script which Lindsay-Abaire adapted from his own stage play. Sam Raimi was actually attached to direct, but dropped out to do “Spider-Man 4.”

“Rabbit Hole” also stars Dianne Wiest, Tammy Blanchard, Sandra Oh, Giancarlo Esposito and Jon Tenney.

And why wouldn’t they? I mean look at her! Hot!

Playboy editors are so desperate to convince Lindsay Lohan to strip nude for the magazine, they’ve reportedly made the actress a new offer of $900,000 to flash her flesh.

The Mean Girls star was previously approached by editors at Hugh Hefner’s men’s magazine to pose naked for Playboy’s 55th anniversary issue last year (08) for the sum of $500,000.

Lohan, who bared all for a provocative New York magazine spread early in 2008, turned down the big money offer, with her representative insisting, “If there’s nudity, the answer is no. She’s not going down that road again.”

But Playboy executives are refusing to give up and have almost doubled the money to try and entice the star to make a deal, according to online reports.

Lohan has yet to respond to the offer.
