Former The Brady Bunch star Christopher Knight has been forced to pull out of U.S. reality TV show Celebrity Circus after breaking his arm.

The actor fell in rehearsals for Wednesday night's installment and doctors told him he could no longer take part in the programme.

He says, "This has been an incredible journey and I really wish that I could continue the journey... but the doctors shut me down."

Knight tells U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight he rebroke his arm in the fall, having suffered a similar injury earlier in the series.

He adds, "I have to go start some new therapy and re-heal it because it's now broken again, but it doesn't hurt, which is sort of troubling; I have to remember that it's broken, so I don't use it."

One month after reporting exclusively that Angelina Jolie had given birth to twins, Entertainment Tonight has yet to acknowledge that it was the victim of a hoax by a person posing as the actress's assistant, the New York Times observed today. The newspaper, citing no sources, said that at one point the show's producers considered addressing the matter on the air but decided not to. "The story became a black eye for ET," the Times observed. Since the original report aired, it said, ET has been avoiding any mention of Jolie but on Tuesday did note that she had checked into a maternity clinic in France without mentioning the earlier report that she had already given birth.

Entertainment Tonight was informed in advance that a story that it intended to air about the birth of Angelina Jolie's twins was a hoax -- but ran the story anyway, the Associated Press reported Wednesday, citing documents and two people with knowledge of the exchange. The Ap said that Jolie's personal assistant, Holly Goline, who was named by Et as the source of its story, contacted the producers of the television show after they posted the story on the Et website (but before it went on the air). Goline reportedly told the program "that their information came from an impostor," according to the Ap source, who said that several conversations and email exchanges took place before the Et report aired. The show declined to comment on the Ap report except to say that it was "actively investigating the matter." In its report the Ap commented: "The mystery of who was sending the e-mail fit perfectly into the world of celebrity gossip, in which rumor and third-hand sources coalesce into 'facts' at the speed of the Internet."

The 44-year-old has been charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a misdemeanour offence, and has enrolled herself in a local Alcoholics Anonymous (Aa) therapy group in a bid to remain sober.

And O'Neal - who chronicled her recovery from a heroin addiction in her 2004 book A Paper Life - admits she is grateful to have her children Kevin, 22; Sean, 20, and Emily, 17, behind her.

O'Neal divorced former tennis champ McEnroe in 1992 after six years of marriage.

She is next due in court on 28 July.
