Bear Grylls won't bite down on a maggot for awhile. His remote survival expeditions are on hold thanks to a busted shoulder he sustained in a remote part of Antarctica. In this Man vs Wild, score one for Antarctica, zero for Bear.

Grylls wasn't injured while filming his famous survival show. It turns out the fit one was on a dual green expedition raising cash for a children's charity and researching alternative energy.

He's expected to be airlifted for further treatment in South Africa this Wednesday. Stay warm, Bear. Lick your wound, hibernate a bit, then get back to foraging for creative meals. If the hospital food is bad, there might be a bed bug to crunch. We're rooting -- not for exotic tubers -- for you.

Last night, I watched in both horror and hysterics as Bear Grylls, one of my past Celebrity Fitzness Report interview guests, devoured "too many" worms in Zambia -- which left him with an atrocious case of diarrhea. Imagine that!!! He cooked and ate a few big, gooey, spiny worms that he found on a tree, then continued to groan in agony throughout the rest of the show due to his "killer diarrhea." The guy is a combination of handsome, athletic, daring, brilliant, and accidentally hysterical all at the same time.

If you've never seen Bear's show Man vs. Wild on Discovery Channel, it's about time you check it out. Bear was a survival expert in the British Special Air Services (21 SAS). He's an elite adventurer and stops at nothing to teach us how to survive if we ever happen to get stranded in the wild. A part of survival is finding safe and energy-filled food sources. Normally I find this disgusting; typically I watch much of Man vs. Wild with my eyes under my blanket. Lately though, I've been peeking out, because Bear's facial expressions in response to his nasty food choices are side-splitting.

Watching him climb up waterfalls and run through the brush agonizing over diarrhea was priceless. My husband and I squirmed as he ate the worms, giggled as Bear grimaced while chewing on them, and then rolled in laughter as he suffered through his tummy troubles.

I really enjoyed reading our own Fitz's interview with Man vs. Wild host Bear Grylls. I've been a fan of the show since last season and now, from what I've learned by watching, I'm confident that I can survive in the Amazon, the Florida Everglades, and the Alaskan wilderness ... providing I can bring my house, my friends, my fiance, a fully-staffed hospital, electricity, a team of research scientists, a Land Rover with in-dash GPS, my DVD collection, an air conditioning and heating unit, a couple of kegs of beer, the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, a plumber (you always need a good plumber), my iPod, a rescue helicopter, a year-long supply of Boston Market chicken, and access to the NFL Sunday Ticket. Oh yeah -- and bug spray.
