swine flu

Just kidding. Actually only one of them is a pig. Just kidding. He's not a pig he just has swine flu. Just kidding. Actually, we're not: Brian Littrell our favorite of the Backstreet Boys has the swine flu. (Sorry. We're no Kristin Wiig, though we try.)

Harry Potter star Rupert Grint has been stricken with a mild case of swine flu.

The actor, who plays Harry's best friend Ron Weasley in the hit movie franchise, has had to take some time out of filming to recover.

"It has just been confirmed that Rupert Grint has taken a few days out of filming due to a mild bout of swine flu," Grint's representative said.

Nothing says, “I love you, Zac,” quite like a swine flu mask.

Zac Efron was greeted by hundreds of fans in Tokyo when he arrived to promote his film 17 Again.

Zac-y Pooh was delayed for an hour inside the terminal as passengers arriving from Los Angeles were inspected for swine flu.

How awesome is it that those masks are both utilitarian and stalkerish?

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are currently honeymooning in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Mexico, the epicenter of the swine influenza outbreak that’s killed 149 people so far.

We’re not sayin’, we’re just sayin’.

Considering how much misery they’ve brought to our lives, isn’t it time they suffered?

We don't want them dead or anything, just to feel the physical embodiment of listening to Heidi's music or their insipid conversations. 

As worldwide panic mounts around the swine flu (come on, people, if you’re neither a small child nor a decrepit elderly person, it’s really just the flu, which sucks but you get over it), the Mexican premiere of Wolverine has been “postponed.”

A studio representative for 20th Century Fox said there is a chance the premiere will be rescheduled, but the threat of illness outweighed the desire for the film’s promotion by the film's star, Hugh Jackman, the only cast member scheduled to attend the premiere.
