Intoxication and Heights Don't Mix

Jesse Metcalfe the ex-Desperate Housewives and former soap star took a hit. He fell 30 - 40 feet from a second-story balcony in Monaco on Sunday.

Jesse was in Monaco to help host the World Music Awards; he was at Jimmy'z club when he fell. He was rushed to the hospital where he had an X-ray and brain scan. He was discharged early yesterday. The "hunky star" later flew to London and had a CAT scan.

Metcalfe has a fractured fibular but "no long term damage" â€" though he does have some restricted movement in his legs, says his rep. The actor will undergo some physiotherapy.

"To have fallen that distance and not have any major injuries was a miraculous escape," says the rep. "It was a very scary experience for him and those of us who saw him. It was a nasty fall. He was found face down on the floor … It could easily have been fatal."

O.M.G. I'm so glad that Jesse's okay! How embarrassing would it be to go out like that, cause you was drunk ass and fell? Jesse's rep said he did have "a couple of glasses of champagne" before he kissed the ground.
