Welcome to The List,
Anne Heche is in the hospital with severe burns, and in stable condition after crashing her car into a house on Friday. Witnesses say she was speeding through L.A. late Friday morning, when she crashed her blue Mini Cooper into a garage at an apartment complex. Residents tried to make her get out of the car, but instead, she backed up and tore off. Shortly after that she came to a "T" intersection . . . which she sped right through, crashing into the house, driving almost all the way through it, and causing a fire that basically destroyed it. Luckily, the owner and her pets were uninjured. There's no word if she was under the influence.

When actors get to a certain level of fame and fortune, they can make all the demands they want. And they take advantage of that privilege. Here are some examples:
The Rock, Vin Diesel, and Jason Statham were to suffer "equal pain" in the "Fast and Furious" movies. Oh, and none of them could lose when they fought each other. Tom Cruise won't allow his likeness to be used for action figures or video game characters. Samuel L. Jackson must be allowed to golf at least twice a week. And the production company has to pay for it and take him.
