UPDATE #2: The two have since kissed and made up. Jameson will not be filing any charges and Ortiz is reportedly moving back into the home.
UPDATE: Ortiz has now accused Jenna Jameson of being an Oxycontin addict.
Over the past few weeks, a number of celebrities connected to NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice program have found themselves in the headlines—and for unfortunate reasons. Up until recently, Jesse James had been taking up the majority of the spotlight - that was until last weekend.
On Friday, it was revealed that Poison frontman Bret Michaels has been hospitalized for a brain hemorrhage. The 47-year-old, who is still listed in critical condition, is being treated at an undisclosed location.
Although an “official medical report from doctors” has not yet been released by the star’s fansite, Michaels’ former billionaire boss gave what he claims to be an informed statement to the press. Trump, who is reportedly in touch with people close to the singer, told TMZ that Bret is in “big, big trouble and the prognosis is not great.”

BREAKING NEWS: Bret Michaels in Critical Condition After Brain Hemorrhage
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music, Television, Breaking News,
UPDATE: Ivanka Trump has just tweeted this message about the Celebrity Apprentice contestant: “My thoughts & prayers go out to Brett [sic] Michaels and his family. I wish him a very speedy recovery.”
Less than a week after telling fans that he “could have died” had it not been for an emergency appendectomy, singer Bret Michaels is currently being treated for a brain hemorrhage at an undisclosed location.
According to a report, the 47-year-old is listed in critical condition.
This latest medical development started late last night after the Celebrity Apprentice contestant complained of a massive headache. That’s when the bleeding at the base of Michael’s brain stem was discovered.
“After several CAT scans, MRIs and an angiogram, [doctors] decided to keep Michaels in the ICU and are running several tests to determine the cause. [It] will be touch and go for the next few days while he is under intense observation,” a source told People magazine.
After Bret’s appendectomy on April 12, the rocker was transferred to a rehabilitation facility that specializes in the care of diabetic patients. (Michaels has openly discussed his battle with diabetes.)
No word at this time what this situation might mean for the upcoming episodes of Celebrity Apprentice.

Nicole Richie Being Treated for Pneumonia
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television,
Nicole Richie is back in the hospital, and it has nothing to do with maternity.
The reality TV star was recently admitted after a string of days feeling under the weather. “Nicole has checked into Cedars-Sinai where she is being treated for pneumonia. She is doing well,” Nicole’s rep said.
Over the weekend, the mother of two had spoken about not feeling well. She wrote on her Twitter page: “ok cold, it’s been 6 days. Lets part ways graciously & keep it moving.”
Earlier this week, Nicole was granted a restraining order against two paparazzi who she claims caused her recent car accident. The 28-year-old socialite appeared in court to testify how the two male photographers, Eduardo Arrivabene and Ivon Miguel, had been hounding her constantly. The judge ruled the two men are to stay 50 yards away from Nicole and her two children for the next three years.
