We’re aware that Bette Midler still possesses a very sharp tongue (right, Ariana?), but who knew her own music could be so dangerous? Jonathan Bennett, that’s who. The actor who made Lindsay Lohan’s heart go pitter-patter as Aaron Samuels in Mean Girls a decade ago learned the hard way while rehearsing for his recent stint on Dancing with the former Stars. Bennett was working on an interpretive dance to Midler’s mawkish “Wind Beneath My Wings” and while sliding down a bannister (!) he toppled over and fell many feet to make a hard thud on the floor. TMZ reports Bennett broke two ribs and his arm required a sling after the scary tumble. Don’t try this at home, folks.
Watch Bennett go boom below.

I find him annoying

He wasn’t much of a dancer but he was cute as a button.

Was Queerty bought out by TMZ?

@DesperateRachel: Probably!

@QJ201: I find him fuckable…

Sorry he got hurt but that’s like the gayest thing I’ve ever heard XD

TMZ is hilarious so the more posts featuring their content, the better. Also, great song, glad he’s comfortable dancing to it.

I just saw an interview Jonathan did with afterbuzz tv He comes across as this amazingly normal person. It’s like he somehow managed to grew up thinking he’s just average.

He’s so cute! But wait it looks like he gained a lot of weight, look at that tummy!
But well he’s still cute!!!

Well – on November 17th, on an otherwise beautiful morning, I slipped and fell on some snow covered ice fracturing several ribs and puncturing a lung. I can testify that one action will transform your personality into a rather grumpy one. In addition, during the past couple of weeks from time to time I’ve had to deal with some nurses who I felt that the world would be made into a better place by giving them a good slap across the face. But that’s just me. I’m told that all I have to do is wait three or four months for the fractures to heal. My advice: avoid rib fractures, a very not good thing.

What I can not figger out is that Dereck Hough for some reason still thinks that thinks that the world would find it shocking that a dancer was Gay!!!!

@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS:
I know! Just like the judges on So you Think You Can Dance have had to spend the last several seasons trying to apologize for how homophobic they were the first time a male male couple auditioned for them.

@MarionPaige: I looked up the interview you were right. His normalness is probably due to the fact that he didn’t become a super star after Mean Girls. So sad that he lost his parents within the same year.
@millo, i think the shirt might have been ill fitting or he was heavier during his stint on DWTS because he seems to be in good shape, even in that TMZ video you saw a glimpse of a tight stomach.

Plays Well with Others- that was a wonderful book by Allan Gurganus. Do yourself a major favor everyone and read it!!!!

@Alan down in Florida: I totally read that as ‘cute as a bottom’ at first, which I think is kinda true too.
Paul Colombo
That’s the gayest sentence I’ve ever read that didn’t include the word “gay.”
Brock Thoroughman
Say crack one more time!
Alex Reed
He is hot! Never knew he was gay until a year ago or so.

Heartthrob?
