hospitalized

Farrah Fawcett was recently hospitalized and placed in the intensive care unit.

Her partner, Ryan O’Neal and other family members and friends have reportedly gathered to say their final goodbyes.

David Hasselhoff was reportedly rushed to an LA hospital after suffering alcohol poisoning on Saturday.

According to RadarOnline.com the former Baywatch star was taken to Cedars-Sinai after his daughter Hayley, 16, found him unconscious on the floor of his home in Encino, California. She called her mother, The Hoff’s estranged wife, Pamela Bach, who lives ten minutes away, and Bach drove him to the hospital.

Reports claim he had a blood alcohol level of .39, five times the legal limit, and was barely breathing.

Jay Leno, one of the hardest working men in showbiz, cancelled his show last night and checked himself into Providence Saint Joseph’s Medical Center in Burbank.

Leno is like the Cal Ripken Jr. or Brett Favre of entertainment.

He’s a work horse who shows up early, works late and never misses a day.

His condition isn’t serious, some speculation is that he had food poisoning, but he still spent the day under observation in the hospital, which is right across from NBC’s Burbank studio where the Tonight Show tapes.

Yesterday there were a number of conflicting reports about Charlie Sheen’s new twin boys.

Some outlets said one of the brothers was dying of a heart condition, others said it was a minor issue but the baby needed medical treatment.

Now Charlie Sheen has spoken out and explained that his infant son Max is just undersized, which is apparently a common problem with babies born prematurely. Sheen’s sons arrived two weeks ahead of schedule. 

Josh Hartnett was hospitalized early yesterday morning with a “flare-up” of an ongoing gastrointestinal problem that has been bothering him for the last several months. Apparently the issue first arose while he was performing the stage adaptation of Rain Man in London.

Did he give himself an ulcer with stress?

He is currently under observation and is resting comfortably, according to his rep.

Feel better, Josh.

After complaining of abdominal pain, Josh Hartnett was taken from LA’s Chateau Marmont to Cedars-Sinai hospital early this morning according to TMZ. 

The 911 call was placed at 12:53am, the ambulance arrived for Josh at about 2am and he climbed in without assistance or a stretcher.

If he was so capable, why didn’t he just take a cab to the hospital (which is only about a mile and a half from his hotel) or have a friend drive him?

Natasha Richardson is not dead.

Nor did she hit a tree.

She wasn’t even carried away on a stretcher.

She is, however, still in serious condition with head trauma in a Montreal hospital after a skiing accident on Monday.

The accident occurred on a beginners’ slope and there was no immediate sign of trauma or injury.

Natasha Richardson is in critical condition after a serious skiing accident in Quebec, Canada.

The 45-year-old actress, who is part of the Redgrave Dynasty of actors, suffered a major head injury on Monday and was taken to Montreal’s Centre Hospitalier Laurentien and was later transferred to another medical facility.

Richardson, who is married to Irish actor Liam Neeson, reportedly suffered a “traumatic brain injury,” according to IrishCentral.com which was first to report the accident.

Our thoughts go out to Natasha, Liam and their two sons.

Robin Williams was hospitalized in Florida yesterday after experiencing “shortness of breath.”

The comedic legend has been forced to cancel four shows in Florida on his Weapons of Self-Destruction tour following doctor’s orders but the dates will be rescheduled.

(See, Jeremy Piven, a real aliment being dealt with yet he keeps his performance promise to ticket holders. Take note.)

A statement on the actor’s website read, “Williams was experiencing shortness of breath and is currently being evaluated by doctors who are recommending a week of rest.”

Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay checked into the hospital yesterday after experiencing pain and discomfort said to be related to the partially collapsed lung she suffered in January after a freak sledding incident.

While no specifics to her condition have been released, she’s said to be having routine tests and will be back to work soon.

Feel better, Mariska.
