Rain Man

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.

He may be long forgotten in America (Wicker Park, anyone?) but in the United Kingdom, he’s still cause for a mini riot.

Josh Harnett caused quite a stir as he left the theater where hiss latest endeavor, a theatrical adaptation of Rain Man, is in previews at the Apollo Theater on London’s West End. Not surprisingly, the show and Josh’s performance have received mixed reviews but that didn’t stop fans from thronging the stage door seeking autographs and photos.

It’s been quite a while since Josh Hartnett was at the top of the Hollywood heap but last night he premiered on London’s West End in a stage adaptation of Rain Man.

After the show Josh was mobbed by hundreds of waiting fans before sneaking out to a waiting taxi with a mystery brunette.

A little success is restoring Josh’s sheen. He looks hot! We haven’t found him attractive since his Black Hawk Down days.
