HOSPITALIZED
After Drug Store Accident in Beverly Hills Janice Dickinson had a painful run-in with a metal bar yesterday ... when a closing parking garage door struck her in the head so hard, she needed to be hospitalized, TMZ has learned.

It all went down outside the Rite Aid drug store in Beverly Hills ... when Janice was walking underneath the gate and had a collision with the crossbar.

Janice says she was knocked to the ground ... and sustained damage to her knee ... but she tried to go on with her day without medical attention.

But later that night, Janice says the pain began to set in ... and she couldn't sleep. So first thing Friday morning, she went to UCLA medical center ... where doctors ran tests and determined she suffered a pretty gnarly concussion.

Janice is now recovering at home ... but says she still feels "pretty horrible."

Usher's Son
First Photo
After Horrific Pool Accident
Usher's ex-wife is clearly trying to prove a point ... she's a caring mother who deserves custody of their sons -- after the eldest nearly drowned this week -- and this photo tells the story.

Tameka Raymond posted the photo today, the first pic of 5-year-old Usher Raymond V since the horrific accident on Monday ... and it paints a picture of motherly love and protection. Tameka's arms are wrapped around her son, and he's surrounded by get-well-soon balloons.

It's a subtle dig at Usher ... who is noticeably absent.

As we reported, Tameka is blaming Usher for the pool accident, claiming he isn't an attentive father -- despite having primary custody of their two boys -- and she's already filed legal docs attempting to get custody back.

Usher's Son
Hospitalized in ICU
After Pool Accident
Usher's son Usher Raymond V is in the ICU at an Atlanta hospital after a serious accident in the singer's pool Monday, TMZ has learned.

Sources tell TMZ, the accident occurred around 6 PM yesterday. Usher was not home at the time.

Here's what we know ... The child was playing in the pool with his aunt and saw a toy in the drain.  He dove down to get the toy and his arm got stuck in the drain.  The aunt immediately dove in to rescue him but couldn't get his hand out.  The maid then dove in and tried but was also unsuccessful.

The maid screamed for help.  Two men working in the house came out, dove in and freed the boy.  He was given CPR immediately and rushed to the hospital.  Usher arrived and drove in the ambulance with his son.

5-year-old Usher Raymond V is the oldest of Usher's two sons with ex-wife Tameka Raymond. We're told Usher and Tameka are currently at the hospital.

Doctors have been running a series of tests and doctors say he'll be ok.

This is the second accident to strike a child in Usher's family. Tameka's 11-year-old son Kile from a previous relationship passed away last year from injuries sustained during a jet ski accident.

Jefferson Airplane
Drummer Killed
In Car Accident
Joey Covington -- who played drums for the psychedelic 1960s band Jefferson Airplane -- was killed in Palm Springs Tuesday in a deadly car accident. He was 67.

According to the Desert Sun, Covington was driving alone around 5pm when his Honda Civic left the road and crashed head-on into a retaining wall. The Riverside County coroner's report says Covington was not wearing a seat belt at the time. No other car was involved.

Covington's vehicle reportedly hit the wall with such force ... it went flying onto an elevated driveway several feet above the crash site, where a nearby motel guest tried to resuscitate the musician.

The bystander was unsuccessful and Covington died at the scene. Police don’t believe alcohol or drugs were involved.

One of Covington's close friends told the Desert Sun, the drummer's wife believes a heart attack or stroke caused him to drive off the road.

In addition to playing for Jefferson Airplane -- known for songs "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" -- Covington also played for its successor band Jefferson Starship, and co-founded the rock-blues band Hot Tuna.
