Taylor Swift has donated $50,000 to a children's hospital in Philadelphia.
The 24-year-old singer has given the large sum of money to The Children's Hospital in Pennsylvania to help fund a music program for youngsters suffering from cancer. The specialized scheme promises to lift the spirits of young sick patients by allowing them to create and produce their own music during their treatment.
"Taylor Swift's gift will help lift the spirits of many patients during a difficult time. Taylor Swift's music is an inspiration to so many of our teen patients," said the CEO of the medical center, Steven M. Altschuler.
Lamia Barakat, director of the Psychosocial Services Program at the cancer center, added, "We can think of no better way to use her gift than to grow our Adolescent and Young Adult initiative designed to support the emotional well-being of our teens with cancer."

Paris Jackson has moved into a new treatment facility.
The 15-year-old aspiring actress, who attempted suicide last month, left UCLA Medical Center on Tuesday and is now staying at an undisclosed residential treatment center, where she will continue to be supervised and undergo treatment for depression. A source told People.com that the facility was chosen by Paris' grandmother and legal guardian Katherine Jackson, as well as her biological mother Debbie Rowe, who she has recently reconnected with, because they did think she was ready to return home.
"The feeling is that Paris is still a danger to herself. Both Katherine and Debbie want her to get the help that she needs," the insider added.
It was recently revealed that Demi Lovato reached out to Paris. The X Factor judge, who has a history of self-harm and whose estranged father recently died, reached out to the troubled teenager to let her know she is not alone. "With Demi having just lost her dad, she feels a special bond with Paris. She told Paris about how she'd endured horrible bullying about her weight and her looks and even nasty comments about her estranged father. That struck a chord with Paris because of her own controversial father and like Demi, she's been dieting for years.There are so few people in Hollywood who show up during the tough times but Demi is the real deal," a source said.

Kanye West refused to leave Kim Kardashian's side before she went into full labor.
The 36-year-old rapper, whose reality TV star girlfriend delivered a healthy baby girl on Saturday morning, cancelled his scheduled appearance at a listening party for his new album, Yeezus, in Los Angeles on Friday night after Kim told him she was feeling "a little off" and supported her during every contraction.
A source told gossip website TMZ.com that the "New Slaves" hitmaker was in the delivery room when the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star welcomed their baby naturally at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills after going into full labor in the early hours of Saturday morning. Despite being born five weeks early, both mother and baby are in good health.
Another insider told UsMagazine.com that Kanye wouldn't have missed the arrival of their first child for anything, saying, "Of course, Kanye was there with Kim when she went to the hospital and had the baby. She started to feel sick late last night [Friday] and was having contractions. They're all doing great and amazing."

Paris Jackson has been transferred to another hospital in Los Angeles, following her recent suicide attempt.
The 15-year-old aspiring actress was moved to UCLA Medical Center on Saturday evening, the same hospital where her late father Michael Jackson was taken after his death in 2009, upon being released from another hospital in the city, where she was placed under involuntary psychiatric hold for 72 hours.
The teenager was rushed to a hospital on Wednesday morning after allegedly cutting her wrists and swallowing 20 Motrin painkillers at the Calabasas, California, mansion where she lives with her 83-year-old grandmother, Katherine Jackson, who is one of her legal guardians, and her brothers Prince Michael, 16, and Blanket, 11.

George Michael has been released from hospital 13 days after falling from a moving car.
The 49-year-old singer sustained head injuries when he fell out of a Range Rover at 70mph on the M1 motorway in Hertfordshire, England, on Thursday May 16. After being treated for almost two weeks, George has now been allowed to return home.
"We can confirm that George Michael has been discharged from hospital and continues to rest and recuperate. He is well and thanks everyone for all the messages of support," a statement released on his official website read.
The "Outside" hitmaker - who lives in Highgate, north London - was seen falling out of the passenger door of the vehicle and motorist Katherine Fox who witnessed the incident revealed she had reversed her car to shield George from passing traffic while waiting for medical assistance: "I saw blood everywhere and a man on the ground. I thought someone had run across the road and been hit. I asked what had gone on and was told he tried to open the car door and shut it again because it wasn't shut properly and apparently fell out at 70mph. I was on the phone to the ambulance and said, 'You'd better come quick. This doesn't look good.'"

Charlie Sheen's ex-wife has been released from hospital.
Brooke Mueller - who was allegedly placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold at the UCLA Medical Centre on Wednesday because she was deemed to be a danger to herself and to others - checked out on Friday and refused to go to rehab for further treatment for her drug addiction.
"After Brooke sobered up on Friday, she was released from the involuntary psych hold because she was deemed to not be a danger to herself, or others, and her current whereabouts are unknown. Brooke was encouraged by doctors at UCLA to get treatment for her drug addiction, but she refused. Under the law, she couldn't be held any longer," a source said.
Her family and friends are reportedly very concerned as they have not been able to contact her. "[They] are sick with worry. Her cell phone is off, and Brooke hasn't spoken to her family in several days," an insider said.

Queen Elizabeth has been admitted to the hospital. The 86-year-old British monarch is being treated at a London medical facility for gastroenteritis.
The royal was admitted to King Edward VII hospital today after falling ill on Friday night. "She was not taken into the hospital immediately after feeling the symptoms. This is simply to enable doctors to better assess her," a spokesperson for the palace said.
The queen is only expected to remain under medical supervision until Tuesday, but all her official engagements this week, including her trip to Rome, will be either cancelled or postponed as she recovers from the nasty stomach bug.
The royal, who reportedly has had no visitors from her family yet, was last hospitalized for a minor knee operation almost a decade ago, but her husband Prince Philip was rushed to hospital last August as a "precautionary measure" when he fell ill after spending hours on a ceremonial barge in rain and a cold wind as part of a flotilla of 1,000 vessels on the River Thames to mark her landmark Diamond Jubilee.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rumors,
Lil Wayne has been released from hospital and is resting at home after an in-flight medical scare yesterday.
The "Lollipop" hitmaker's private jet was forced to make an emergency landing after he was said to have suffered "seizure-like symptoms," and it has now emerged the 30-year-old rapper has been treated for a severe migraine and dehydration and he's thanked all his fans for their "support and love."
"He is at home on doctor mandated rest and will return to work soon. He appreciates all of his fans for their support and love," his representative told TMZ.
Wayne - whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr. - was rushed to hospital the moment his jet touched down in Texas yesterday after the pilot radioed in to say the rapper was suffering a seizure. The "No Worries" hitmaker is currently preparing for the release of his 10th album, I Am Not a Human Being II, which is due to drop in December.

Michael Madsen has been released from hospital.
The 54-year-old actor was taken to a medical facility after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) on Wednesday, but has now been released, and his attorney Perry Wander says his prescription medication could be what caused him to appear drunk at the wheel.
"Michael has been on prescription medication that easily could have made him look to be under the influence and caused him to fail the sobriety test," Perry said.
Madsen had a blood-alcohol level of 0.21, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08, after his arrest on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu. He has been charged with a misdemeanor DUI and bail set at $15,000 and his Pontiac GTO automobile has been impounded.
