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.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Corporate News, Handhelds, PC / Laptop,
It was pretty obvious to us when we first saw the iPad that it would definitely be big in the medical field. As it turns out, it looks like hospitals are catching on—case in point, California’s Kaweah Delta. The hospital has ordered 100 iPads for use around their campus. Nick Volosin, the hospital’s director of technical services, sees the iPad as replacing laptops for things like email, checking X-rays, EKG results, and more.

Alec Baldwin Subject of Daughter’s 911 Call
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Television,
Alec Baldwin + Ireland Baldwin + phones = Do Not Mix.
Early this morning, the 30 Rock star was rushed to the hospital after what is being called a “misunderstanding” by Alex’s rep Matthew Hiltzik. Police and aid arrived at his Central Park West home shortly after receiving a 911 call reportedly made by Baldwin’s 14-year-old daughter.
According to sources, Ireland - who is pictured with her father at the 2009 Screen Actor’s Guild Awards - claimed her father had threatened to take sleeping pills after they had gotten into a horrible fight. At the time of her call, Alec was reportedly “unresponsive.”
Although the 51-year-old was transported to Lenox Hill Hospital, he was quickly released. A friend of Alec’s says this proves the Emmy winner was in no way under the influence of anything.
“If there was a real problem, he wouldn’t have been released within an hour,” Matthew added.

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.”

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.

Sources confirm that Nicole Richie has been admitted to a hospital to give birth to her second child.
The baby will be her and Joel Madden‘s second child—their first, Harlow, was born in January 2008.
While reps for both of the celebs have yet to officially comment, I doubt we’ll be hearing it any minute now.
Mischa Barton Supported by Sober Coach
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Rumors,
Troubled young starlet Mischa Barton has a “sober coach.”
Producers on the Barton’s new TV show, The Beautiful Life, have hired someone to stay with her at all times following her hospitalization under involuntary psychiatric hold at Los Angeles’ Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in July.
A source said, “Mischa is doing great since she returned to work, but after a chat with show bosses she agreed she would appreciate some extra support.”
The appointment of a sober coach comes after the 23-year-old star’s friends admitted they were worried the Homecoming actress was jeopardizing her recovery after she was seen partying at the All Points West music festival in New York just days after she left hospital.
Family friend Eric Ziegenbein said, “It’s scary to see her out right after she’s received treatment. When I found out she’d been partying again, I was shocked. I thought she would chill out for a bit. The fact she was out right away proves she’s not taking things seriously enough. It was like a big ‘f**k you.’ She’s too proud and independent sometimes.”
Another friend, Suzanne Coppin, is frustrated Mischa isn’t listening to the advice of loved ones and is trying to deal with her problems alone: “She has a support group, but it’s obvious she’s ignoring them. I’m disappointed she’s not taking advice and is still doing her own thing.”
