Brooke Mueller hid two stints in rehab from doctors while she was pregnant.
The 36-year-old troubled star - who has four-year-old twins Bob and Max with Anger Management star Charlie Sheen - is believed to have been battling an addiction to crystal methamphetamine while she was carrying twin boys and allegedly kept this from medical staff involved in the safe delivery of her children - who were born seven weeks early in March 2009.
"Brooke didn't tell her obstetrician that she had been to rehab twice while pregnant... Not one member on her labor and delivery team knew she had been using crystal meth during most of her pregnancy," a source said.
Brooke and Charlie - who wed in 2008 - were both concerned that their children would be taken away from them if this was found out. "At that point, Charlie was very protective of Brooke, and didn't say anything because they both had a real fear that the boys would be taken away from them and placed in foster care. Brooke was also extremely afraid of being criminally charged with child endangerment because of her drug use while pregnant, so nothing was said to anyone," the source added.

Jake Gyllenhaal was rushed to hospital after he injured his hand.
The 32-year-old actor severely cut himself while on the set of his new film Nightcrawler - in which he plays a struggling crime reporter in Los Angeles - on Wednesday and was forced to seek medical assistance.
"Jake was indeed filming Nightcrawler when during the shooting of an intense scene his character purposefully banged his hand into the mirror. Unfortunately the mirror broke and Jake's hand was badly cut up. He got numerous stitches at the ER and was released. He already returned to set for work," Gyllenhaal's rep stated.
Jake has been working hard to perfect his role and previously revealed he lost weight because his character was both "literally and figuratively hungry." He said"It takes place in a land where I think there is a desert in a lot of ways, great opulence, and at the same time, great vastness and emptiness. I knew that [Lou] was literally and figuratively hungry." In order to feel more like the character, the actor aimed to look almost skeletal and got into a "mode where I was always a bit hungry."

+ Her actor Joaquin Phoenix was photographed frolicking around in Rome with a new lady who looks like Madonna straight out of the Eighties. Sadly, he didn't go back in time to bring Eighties Madonna to 2013, as it's been revealed that she's Allie Teilz, a 19 year-old DJ.
+ Want to see cute photos of baby North West posing with Givenchy designer Riccardo Tisci? Of course you do, which is why Kim Kardashian has been snapping up a storm over it.
+ Miley Cyrus has come out and proclaimed herself as one of the world's biggest feminists. Though one can't argue that she's definitely a staunch proponent for women expressing their sexuality however they may please, she doesn't seem too keen on abstaining from using other women's (especially black women's) bodies for one's own purposes.

Heidi Montag got her breast implants reduced in size because they were causing her severe pain.
The former The Hills star, who shocked her fans after she underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day in 2010, recently went under the knife again to have her implants reduced from a size F to a size C, because they were causing her back problems. She decided to have six-hours of surgery on October 4 after reconstructive specialist Dr. Jay Orringer warned her that her chest was "bottoming out."
"He told me they were falling through the bottom, and I got scared. It's super dangerous. They can fall through to your belly button!" she added.

According to TMZ, Amanda has responded well to the medication and counselling she has been provided at The Canyon rehab facility in Malibu, California - where she moved to in September after transferring from the UCLA Medical Center's psychiatric ward - and doctors believe the treatment has "sufficiently stabilized" her.
The 27-year-old star is expected to be released into the care of her mother, Lynn, who will supervise her at their family home as she readjusts to the world.
It was recently reported the She's the Man actress - whose erratic behavior in public and on Twitter earlier this year led to her involuntary psychiatric hold - has been allowed to embark on supervised outings twice a week as she has made "great progress."

Heidi Montag has had a breast reduction.
The former The Hills star, who shocked her fans after she underwent 10 plastic surgery procedures in one day in 2010, has gone under the knife again to have her implants reduced, taking her from a size F to a size D.
The 27-year-old blonde beauty told Entertainment Tonight host Brooke Anderson that she had her breasts downsized for "health reasons." Heidi - who married her reality TV co-star Spencer Pratt in 2008 - previously hit back at reports suggesting she regretted her cosmetic surgeries but admitted she wouldn't recommend it: "It could have been really disastrous. I lived and I learned, and I wouldn't really recommend it for other people. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be going through it - physically, mentally, emotionally and the recovery. I'm just glad it's done and that everything healed so well."
However she also blamed her plastic surgeon, Dr. Frank Ryan, who died in a tragic car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway in 2010, for her excessive procedures.

Chris Brown is being urged to stay in rehab for three months.
The "Fine China" singer checked into a treatment facility in Malibu, California, on Tuesday, just two days after being arrested for assault after allegedly breaking a man's nose outside a hotel in Washington D.C., and his management team want him to remain there until early next year.
"The rehab facility has been told to take him [Brown] apart and put him back together," a source said.
The 24-year-old star, who is still on probation for beating his ex-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009, is reportedly open to remaining in care so he can learn how to cope with his anger management issues and prove he is serious about overcoming them, as he has been warned by his lawyer, Mark Geragos, that he could be sentenced to up to four years behind bars if the judge decides he has violated his probation. "Chris Brown has elected to enter a rehab facility. His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behaviour, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point," a spokesperson for the singer previously said.

Tori Spelling lied about her weight loss after giving birth.
The 40-year-old actress has admitted she wasn't honest about how she shed the pounds following the birth of her son Finn in August 2012, revealing she severely restricted her food intake rather than taking up exercise like she previously claimed. In April, Tori said she had taken up low-impact cardio and a healthy diet of fish and vegetables, but in her new autobiography Spelling It Like It Is, she wrote, "I really don't exercise much, period. So I took off my weight the old-fashioned way. I like to call it the 'Just Keep Your F**king Mouth Shut and Eat Air' diet. It's all the rage. My publicist had given me clear instructions about what to say about my weight loss. Women didn't want to know that I had lost weight through dieting, not exercising. I didn't want to be the a**hole who didn't work for it. So I said that I swam. It was sort of a bad choice. I can't do much more than a doggy paddle."
The actress - who also has son Liam, six, and daughters Stella, five, Hattie, two, with husband Dean McDermott - previously said she had taken up swimming to help lose weight and had substituted her husband's home cooked meals with lean sushi.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Rock,
Lou Reed died of liver disease.
The legendary Velvet Underground frontman and pioneer of modern rock passed away on Sunday aged 71, and it has now been confirmed he died of complications with his liver, which he had been suffering with for a year.
The "Perfect Day" star had undergone a liver transplant in April and also had to cancel his Coachella Music and Arts Festival in California due to his illness. The transplant initially appeared to be a success and Lou was looking forward to the future and to returning to performing. "I am a triumph of modern medicine, physics and chemistry. I am bigger and stronger than ever," he wrote on Facebook in June.
However, more recently the singer and guitarist had taken a turn for the worse and when it was confirmed the disease had entered its final stages he refused further treatment and returned home. "We all agreed that we did everything we could," his doctor, Charles Miller, told the New York Times.
