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.”

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.
