Despite her marital problems with Dean McDermott - who has confessed to cheating on her late last year - her spouse was by her side throughout her stay in hospital. "Dean would arrive by 10am and didn't leave until 8 most nights. He seemed very stressed out and worried. He would bring food and often only left Tori to go outside to catch some air or make a phone call," a source said.

The 40-year-old actress - who has children Liam, seven, Stella, five, Hattie, two, and Finn, 20 months, with Dean - recently admitted her spouse "broke her heart" when he admitted to cheating on her with 28-year-old Emily Goodhand during a trip to Toronto, but she wants to work through their problems for the sake of their kids.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Rivalries, Rumors,

Tori SpellingTori Spelling was hospitalized for stress last month.

The former 90210 star is said to have hit a low point after people hit out at her for calling Katie Holmes "plastic" and accusing the actress of not being able to sing in her new memoir Spelling It Like It Is.

The wave of criticism directed at Tori resulted in her being treated in hospital for anxiety, with a source revealing: "Tori was hospitalized for stress and anxiety for a few days because she was receiving a lot of negative feedback about revelations she made in the book and she had no anticipation that it was going to hit a nerve. Tori didn't think making comments about a chance encounter with Katie Holmes would cause such a ruckus. She just grew very anxious about having to defend her actions in the book in media interviews and decided that she needed to go to the hospital."

Tori - who has been busy promoting her new book - has since recovered from her problems and is now fine. "She just wasn't feeling well and went to the hospital, but everything was fine," another source said.

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.

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.

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.'"

George MichaelGeorge Michael is still in hospital after his car accident.

The 49-year-old singer is being kept under medical supervision in a specialist trauma center in London after sustaining head injuries last week when he fell out of a car at 70mph on the M1 motorway in Hertfordshire, England. "Following the traffic accident on Thursday, we can confirm that he is still in hospital. We are keen to stress it's purely as a precaution for observation. He did suffer a couple of bumps and bruises to the head and that's why they are keeping him in - to keep an eye on him. He is doing better. He is making good progress and is looking forward to getting out," his spokesperson said.

The former Wham! star was a passenger in a silver Range Rover when he fell out of the moving vehicle onto the road at junction 6A, near St Albans. The incident is believed to have happened because he was trying to close the door properly. The lucky pop star narrowly avoided being hit by cars on the dangerous four-lane stretch of motorway, and his friends pulled on to the hard shoulder and ran across two lanes of traffic to help him.
