Gillian Anderson's Slip Up

Believers must wonder: Were unseen forces behind Gillian Anderson's tumble down a flight of stairs that landed her in the hospital Monday, or was it just a case of bad footing?

Conspiracy theories aside, the former X-Files star was taken to London's Cromwell Hospital for X-rays following the early morning accident at her Notting Hill home, which she shares with her fiancé, journalist Julian Ozanne.

Britain's Daily Mirror reported that Anderson, 34, had been rushed to the west London hospital in an ambulance with suspected back and hip injuries. The tabloid also published a photo of the actress as she arrived at the hospital strapped to a stretcher.

But, according to the Illinois-born actress' official Website, she didn't suffer any fractures, sprains or other serious injuries and is already home recovering after submitting to a checkup.

The Emmy winner moved to London in 2002 with her beau and eight-year-old daughter from a former marriage, Piper, to star in the West End play What the Night Is For, which ended its run in February.

Anderson has kept a relatively low profile since ending her nine-year run as straight-laced FBI agent Dana Scully on Chris Carter's long-running sci-fi hit, racking up only one credit, 2000's The House of Mirth.

And to those fans who ask when she'll start working again, Anderson says on her Website, "Keep your knickers on," she deserves a break. But don't count her out just yet. According to Anderson, she will be shooting "one and maybe even two films" by the end of the year, which could include a sequel to 1998's The X-Files feature, reuniting her with costar David Duchovny.
