Chris Brown has been ordered to stay in a Miami rehab for another two months.
Doctors at the facility blame the musician's behavior on his previously undiagnosed PTSD and bipolar disorder, but they do claim that he is making improvements and becoming less impulsive.
Despite a report in which Brown said he "is happy with the program," he reportedly didn't look too happy to hear that his stay would be extended. A probation officer wrote to the court that Brown has indeed showed progressing and "[responding] well to treatment," but he additionally pointed out that the positive changes in his behavior "[have] occurred only recently."
Brown had been placed in rehab back in November after his was charged with a misdemeanor assault in Washington, D.C. - a direct violation of his probation for his 2009 assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna.

Lindsay Lohan Misdiagnosed, Demanding Apology From Courts
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs, Drunk, Legal Issues, Rants, Rumors,
Despite being on rehab lock-down, Lindsay Lohan is making quite the fuss, reportedly wanting an apology from the Californian courts.
The actress is said to be “fuming” after medical assessments at the UCLA Medical Center - where she is currently undergoing a 90-day stint as part of her sentence for breaching probation - found she may have been misdiagnosed with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and is not suffering from bipolar disorder or addicted to drugs as was previously claimed.
Instead, medics believe it is possible her prescription for Adderall, which treats ADD, led to her erratic behavior, meaning the 24-year-old star feels her sentence was unfair. “Lindsay is fuming - she is really upset that the courts put her through all this,” said a source.
Although the insider says Lindsay’s representatives are “exploring their options,” it is not expected she will be able to gain legal action against the perceived damage to her public image. Criminal Defence Attorney Steve Cron explained to Fox 411’s Pop Tarts, “No judge or prosecutor could be sued under these circumstances, they have absolute immunity. Judge Revel formulated her opinion of Lindsay based on the information she had at the time from another program. The judge could still be dissatisfied with the report from UCLA and seek independent opinions or insist Lindsay be enrolled in other programs.”

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Drugs,
UPDATE: Despite what Amy’s father told the media, the singer’s rep denies Winehouse has emphysema. She supposedly has a “scarring of the lungs which could lead to emphysema.”
After years of unhealthy living, it’s been determined that singer Amy Winehouse has the early stages of emphysema. This diagnosis was made after the 24-year-old collapsed at her home last Monday. A week of tests had ruled out other possibilities - such as tuberculosis - for her chest problems.
According to the Mayo Clinic, emphysema is “is a progressive lung disease that results in shortness of breath and reduces your capacity for physical activity.” Unfortunately, Winehouse could have been suffering for some time and didn’t experience any symptoms “until irreversible damage” had already occurred.

On Sex and the City, it was Kim Cattrall’s character (Samantha) who found out she had breast cancer in the show’s later years. In real life, Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) was the one who discovered she had the disease just two years ago.
During an interview on Good Morning America, the 42-year-old actress admits she really wasn’t shocked by the diagnosis. Her mother had been a breast cancer survivor.
Nixon, now fully recovered, has now chosen to speak out about her experience in hopes of helping others. She is also currently the official spokesperson of the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.
You can see a portion of that conversation after the jump.

Kylie Minogue Talks About Misdiagnosed Cancer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television,
On yesterday’s episode of Ellen, singer Kylie Minogue opened up about something she had never spoken about before. Although her battle with breast cancer was quite public, her original misdiagnosis wasn’t.
As it was, the performer went in for a check-up right before the start of her 2005 concert tour only to be told that “everything was fine.” Three years later, she is currently in remission.
“Because someone’s in a big white coat and using big medical instruments, doesn’t necessarily mean they’re right.”
Well, Kylie—let us just say that you are looking absolutely fabulous today. We wish the best of luck to you.
