"Idol" Stage Manager Improving After Stage Accident

Last night, the Twitterverse was busy retweeting Ryan Seacrest's announcement that there had been "a few incidents" with the "Idol" stage, which resulted in the contestants missing dress rehearsal.

EW.com reported that the stage manager Debbie Williams fell down stairs, badly cutting her hand and possibly injuring her hand. Seacrest later used Twitter to update "Idol" fans on how Williams is doing:

  1. Ryan Seacrest
    RyanSeacrest Good news our stage manager debbie is doing much better. She fell during rehersal ...she's my right hand during these shows. Love u deb!

Seacrest also revealed on last night's show that part of the iconic "Idol" stage was broken, sending shards of glass everywhere shortly before the live show began. Twitterers warned tonight's guest performer, former contestant Christ Daughtry, to steer clear:
