Mindy McCready Hospitalized

December 18th, 2008

Troubled country singer Mindy McCready has been hospitalized after cutting her wrists and taking pills in what Nashville police are calling an apparent suicide attempt, according to the Associated Press.

 

A hospital spokeswoman says the singer is in stable condition, while her attorney had no further information and her publicist wasn’t able to be reached by the AP.

 

The 33-year-old musician was released from jail in October for good behavior and for doing janitorial work; she was serving time for violating probation stemming from a 2004 drug charge.

 

Since her 1996 hit "Guys Do It All the Time," Mindy has attempted suicide more than once and has had legal troubles, including run-ins with the authorities for drugs. She also made headlines for her alleged decade-long relationship with baseball star Roger Clemens.

Amy Winehouse Still In Hospital

June 16th, 2008

Amy Winehouse is still in hospital while doctors try to figure out why she fainted  yesterday, according to her rep.

 

The troubled star mysteriously collapsed at home in London yesterday and was lucky to be caught by her manager’s assistant before she hit the floor.

 

The Grammy winner, 24, was rushed to hospital by her father, Mitch, and had a series of tests.

 

Her rep, Tracy Miller, said yesterday evening that Amy was feeling better, but docs at a private clinic decided to keep her in overnight for observation. 

 

The tests have come back inconclusive and now she has been told to stay for more. 

 

"She’s staying there for the time being," a rep said today. "They are still not quite sure what happened."

 

Right now, Amy is still expected to play her next scheduled show, a birthday concert for Nelson Mandela in London’s Hyde Park on June 27.  

 

This is the 24-year-old’s second hospitalization in less than a year. Last August, Amy was admitted for "severe exhaustion," causing many to speculate it was a rehab stint.

Jessica Simpson Hospitalized

March 31st, 2008

Jessica Simpson was hospitalized over the weekend for a kidney infection, a rep has confirmed.

The 27-year-old songbird checked into Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a "minor kidney infection" on Friday after coming down with a fever. She was released today.

Jessica, who performed at a MySpace concert for the troops in Kuwait earlier this month, has been hard at work on a country album and was rumored to have purchased some high-end property down in Nashville.

Steve-O Clears Up Rumors of Partying

March 27th, 2008

Nearly two weeks after e-mailing friends and reporters (including OK!), Jackass star Steve-O is back at it. Now, he is using an e-mail message to clear up rumors that he has hit the partying scene again, after an alleged suicide attempt only a couple weeks back.

The 33-year-old said, “These stories are so untrue, they place me at a party hitting on women when I was locked up in the looney bin. I’m a tough guy, with very thick skin, but that doesn’t mean I take kindly to being lied about.”

He goes on to say that his fiancee, Brittany, was none too pleased to hear about the rumors and has since had some reservations about their impending nuptuals. “I was informed, by the girl I asked to marry me, that she had completely changed her
mind about getting married.”

Do take note that Steve-O did find time to plug his mixtape.

The full letter is below:

I have always been a very candid individual, especially when it comes to the media. There is no reason, and never has been any reason, for the press to write stuff about me that is not true. The stories that are circulating right now about me being at some party hitting on random girls and asking to snort drugs from their breasts are not true at all. I will be the first to admit that I’ve snorted all kinds of
drugs, in all sorts of situations, but I take offense to claims that I was running around hitting on random women at a time when I was under the impression that I was engaged to be married. I know many of you who are in receipt of this message from me work in the media, and I would greatly appreciate it if you would squash
this dishonest journalism.

These stories are so untrue, they place me at a party hitting on women when
I was locked up in the looney bin. I’m a tough guy, with very thick skin, but that doesn’t mean I take kindly to being lied about, especially when it comes to behavior that took place after I asked someone to marry me and before I was informed, by the girl I asked to marry me, that she had completely changed her mind about getting married.

Feel free to write whatever you want about me being rejected by my fiance, because that is true, but, please, don’t lie about me. I like to consider myself to be exciting enough that dishonesty is not required to get a story out of me.

Thanks, I love you all,
Steve-O
