Aaron Eckhart explains once again how he broke his arm while filming 'Battle: Los Angeles,' and Ann Curry takes the opportunity to feel him up on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM ET on NBC).

"Which arm was it? You're all okay now?" asked Curry, feeling Eckhart's arm.

To prepare for playing a Marine staff sergeant in his new movie 'Battle: Los Angeles', Aaron Eckhart went through a three-week boot camp administered by actual Marines.

As Eckhart told Jon Stewart on 'The Daily Show' (Weeknights, 11PM ET on Comedy Central), he had one bad civilian habit that the real Marines had trouble breaking him of.

"'My biggest problem was I called a helicopter a 'chopper,' okay. That's a big no-no in Marine speak. So [the Sergeant Major] would be sitting there and I would go 'get on that chopper,' [and he would yell] 'Cut!' He would come over like this, shaking, and say 'helo, it's a helo'."

'Battle: Los Angeles' looks like a film packed with action from beginning to end. Star Aaron Eckhart shared some of the action of shooting it with George Lopez on 'Lopez Tonight' (weeknights, 12AM on TBS). Sometimes the action of filmmaking can get a bit too real as when Eckhart broke his arm and kept filming.

"There was this beautiful fireball that was going up," Eckhart explained. "And I wanted to do a [Michael] Jordan through the fireball." He explained to the cameraman what he was hoping to make happen and everyone got ready.

"I went, slipped, fell seven feet onto my head, and my arm just goes crack," said Eckhart -- but he didn't stop the scene. Instead, he picked up the heavy object that was part of the scene and gritted through it.

You'd think Craig Ferguson would be a bit more excited about a rattlesnake story, considering his rattlesnake mug and snake tattoo. Alas, as Aaron Eckhart learned on 'The Late Late Show' (Weeknights, 12:37AM ET on CBS), the comic can be a bit cynical at times.

He took that cynicism to new heights with Eckhart's story. Let's review the story.

"I was doing a movie in New Mexico. I was running up a slope or something. I bent down to get some breath, and there was a rattlesnake coiling on my foot."

Sounds reasonable, right? There are rattlesnakes in New Mexico. He could have easily disturbed one by running up on it. But that was enough for Ferguson to start calling shenanigans.

Unaware that the show has returned from commercial break, Aaron Eckhart casually tells Kelly Ripa an offhand story about a woman's ankle replacement surgery on 'Live With Regis and Kelly' (weekdays, syndicated). Eventually, the actor realizes his mistake and trails off lamely.

Late last year, Julia told you about the TV version of the Aaron Eckhart movie Thank You For Smoking. Back then the show was being developed for NBC, but now comes word that the show will be seen on USA instead.

The TV version of the movie - which showed the ups and downs in the life of a morally flexible man who worked for the tobacco industry - will take place after the film and show the Nick Naylor character working for other people. The script will be written by James Dodson. The film was based on the novel by Christopher Buckley.
