American Idol’s Casey Abrams Back in the Hospital
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Television, Where Are They Now?,
The health problems with American Idol contestant Casey Abrams continue. We joked in our Thursday results recap that “for a few seconds it looked like he might need some sort of medical attention,” and the singer proved us right just minutes later.
Abrams won the coveted judges’ save after failing to secure votes following his Wednesday performance, and the experience was so overwhelming that he hyperventilated and collapsed after cameras stopped rolling.
Staff rallied and sat Casey in a chair before rushing him to the hospital, again, in his third dramatic stay of the (still rather young) AI season. Abrams had received a blood transfusion that very morning for his ongoing stomach problems.

Zsa Zsa Gabor to Have Part of Leg Amputated
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Where Are They Now?,
Zsa Zsa Gabor is to have part of her leg amputated.
The 93-year-old actress was taken to hospital yesterday to the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles to undergo surgery as gangrene was setting in to her right limb.
"She developed a lesion on the leg that had swollen a while back and caused her to go to the hospital for treatment, but it has not responded. In fact, it has increased in size, and the doctors have wanted to operate for several days. They're going to have to amputate part of her leg. They said if they didn't, she could lose her life," said her representative John Blanchette.
Although she had been warned to go to hospital earlier, Zsa Zsa had been keen to spend the Christmas and New Year period with her husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt.
"Frederic and Zsa Zsa asked if they could spend New Year's at home, and they shared champagne and caviar. The doctors came to the house today, and when they unwrapped the bandages, they saw that the wound had festered and they were afraid of gangrene developing, which would be life-threatening," Blanchette said yesterday.

Lily Allen Suffers Miscarriage
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies,
A rep for Lily Allen confirmed recently that the British singer lost her unborn baby last Saturday.
"It is with great sadness that we have to confirm that Lily Allen and Sam Cooper have lost their baby. The couple ask that their privacy be respected and that they be left alone at this deeply distressing time. No further comment will be made."
While cancelling her performance at Elton John's fundraising event seemed unusual, no one suspected much until the singer posted, "Say a little prayer," on her Twitter early Saturday morning. It was later revealed that she was rushed to the hospital for stomach pains on Thursday afternoon and kept there for observation. Just hours after she wrote on the microblogging site, she lost her unborn son.
The tragedy comes nearly three years after she had miscarried her first child with then-boyfriend, musician Ed Simons.

Break-Up Prompted Alexa Ray Joel Overdose
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Break-ups, Drugs, Meltdowns, Where Are They Now?,
Christie Brinkley and singer Billy Joel’s daughter, Alexa Ray Joel, insists she wasn’t trying to kill herself when she took an overdose.
The musician, who is the , was hospitalized last December after taking an overdose of painkillers, but says she was “panicking” over the end of her relationship with her first love, Jimmy Riot.
“I wasn’t trying to hurt myself, I wasn’t trying to kill myself. I was panicked, I was not thinking clearly at all. I was in so much pain and I just wanted to numb it. He helped me get my band together, my career, my sexuality as a woman, I associated with him. So when he left I didn’t know what I was supposed to do. I didn’t know who I was. It took me so much work, heavy, heavy work to get to the point where I could feel OK on my own.”
Alexa, 24, also spoke of her desire for people to not compare her with her famous parents and judge her music on its own merits: “Everybody gets it - I’m their daughter. But I have my own voice, I have my own sound and I have a big personality. You might want to take a listen.”
Randy Jackson Hospitalized
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Where Are They Now?,
Randy Jackson has been hospitalized with a suspected mild heart attack.
The 48-year-old singer - who is the brother of the late Michael Jackson - was taken to the Huntington Memorial Hospital in Pasadena yesterday and is said to be awaiting test results.
“It appears Randy has had a mild heart attack but he is OK. He was joking around with his father and he is feeling pretty good all things considered. He’s been under a tremendous amount of stress lately but Randy’s a fighter. He’ll pull through,” a source said.
Randy is believed to have been working on arrangements for a memorial service for his late brother Michael, who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June last year. On Monday, Randy attended a Los Angeles courthouse with family including sister Janet Jackson for a hearing into the involuntary manslaughter case against Dr. Conrad Murray, the man accused of being involved in the icon’s death.
The star has also been playing a key role in arranging plans to allow fans to enter Forest Lawn Memorial Park - where Michael is buried - to pay tribute to the King of Pop on the anniversary of his death later this month.
Mischa Barton Happy With Hospital Stint
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: D-List, Television, Meltdowns, Rumors,
The Beautiful Life: TBL actress Mischa Barton thinks that being sectioned was a “good” thing.
The recently unemployed star was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold earlier this year but says she appreciated the chance to take time out and reassess her life.
“I went to the hospital because of pain with my wisdom teeth and I ended up getting ‘put in,’ but that’s because I was so overwhelmingly stressed out and upset. I think it was my teeth and the stress of having a new job and traveling. I was miserable. Actresses aren’t given the time to recover after stuff like that - you’re expected to bounce back from surgery and work right away again. I was shocked it went that far but I think it was necessary for me to take that time out. I’m so much more settled and calm now. Ultimately, it was a positive thing.”

ANTM’s CariDee English Hospitalized
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Parties,
Although “dehydration” episodes were so last year, model CariDee English was supposedly hospitalized for that exact same reason just over a week ago.
On May 18, CariDee, the seventh winner of America’s Next Top Model, was partying at MGM Grand at Foxwoods in Connecticut when she sought out medical assistance. (Does any else notice how the words partying and dehydration always seem to go together?) According to her rep, English was only briefly hospitalized and is already back to work in Los Angeles.
Now if CariDee had only bothered to watch ANTM this past season, she would have known that it was okay to eat and be a model too!
