Fargo star Steve Buscemi found himself in the hospital after being attacked at the Firebelly Lounge in the North Carolina town where he is filming his latest movie, Domestic Distubance. Steve was stabbed in the throat, head and arm after a little flirting prompted some locals to stake claim to their territory.

It wasn't Steve who decided to talk to a town hotty, tall, dark and handsome Swingers stud Vince Vaughn. The woman turned out to be someone else's girlfriend. Vaughn and screenwriter Scott Rosenberg left the bar in handcuffs but posted bail and were released. Steve spent the night in the hospital and left the little town to recover in the big city.

Steve's attacker was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. Domestic Disturbance? How appropriate.
