Gary Coleman Hospitalized After Seizure

Troubled actor Gary Coleman is being treated at a Los Angeles area hospital after suffering a seizure on the set of The Insider Friday, the show itself reports.
The star has "received immediate medical attention by Drew Pinsky, M.D. who was sitting next to him at the time," according to The Insider. Yes, seriously.
"He was transferred in stable condition to a local hospital."
Last month, the 41-year-old was briefly hospitalized in L.A. after he suffered what he called "seizure activity." He was also arrested for domestic violence.

Gary Coleman has a history of health problems.
It's not clear if Gary's wife Shannon is with him at this time. The ailing Coleman was born with failed kidneys and underwent two transplants before age 14.
At one stage in his life, he underwent dialysis four times a day to survive.
It's unclear if his recent seizures are kidney-related, but regardless, it's good to hear things appear stable. Here's hoping Gary recovers fully and quickly.

Mezhgan Hussainy: Engaged to Simon Cowell!

Is the speculation over? Is Mezhgan Hussainy set to be Mrs. Simon Cowell?

Radar Online does not offer any direct quotes on the rumor, but the website says Hussainy herself told its vice president that she was engaged to the American Idol judge.
Earlier this week, during a simple, sweet, candid moment on the show, Ryan Seacrest asked Simon who he kept winking to in the audience and Cowell replied: "My girlfriend."

Says Simon's publicist, Max Clifford:
“They are very suited. She is someone who is independent and says what she thinks and feels, and he likes that. He's probably the happiest I have ever known him in the nine years I've been working with him."

Hussainy works as a make-up artist on American Idol. Assuming she really is engaged to Cowell, insiders say a wedding may take place in the very near future. We wish these two the best!

Jim Carrey becomes Grandpa!!

Jim Carrey  


Jim Carrey's family just experienced a very fortunate event.
The 47-year-old actor became a first-time grandpa Friday when his daughter Jane welcomed her first child with her musician hubby, Alex Santana.
Son Jackson Riley Santana was born at 12:28 a.m. in Los Angeles, weighing 7 pounds, 11 ounces and measuring 20 inches long, E! News confirmed.
Carrey revealed that his baby was having a baby in July. "I am very excited," he said at the time. "Jane is going to be a great mom."
Jane and Alex, both lead singers in their respective rock bands, tied the knot November. Jane is Carrey's daughter with first wife Melissa Womer.

Kristen Stewart Doesn't Hate Fame

She might rarely been seen with a smile on her face, but that doesn't mean Kristen Stewart hates being a celebrity as much as some think.
While promoting the movie The Yellow Handkerchief, Stewart admitted that she can get sick of the paparazzi invading her personal space, but she also understands it comes with the territory.
"I can't say I don't want that, because people take it to the extreme and say that I hate it," Kristen told E! News. "No, no, no! That's not true."
If it's taken Stewart longer than most to adjust, it's because she never saw any of this coming. When she first signed on for Twilight, the actress says she couldn't have predicted that she and Robert Pattinson would cover every tabloid on the market.
"We didn't even know we were going to make a second one. We were just like, 'It's really cool. It's different and we've never seen a love story like this.' I thought it would just be another cool Catherine Hardwicke movie."
It was... and then some!

As for rumors that Breaking Dawn will be split into two movies?
"It looks like a 'yes,' but it's still not concrete," Stewart said. "It would be hard to cram all of it into one movie."
If the final book really is broken into a pair of films, Kristen will remain in the spotlight for that much longer. Hopefully, she's at least smiling on the inside over that possibility.

It's a great cause. Hopefully Efron and Hudgens get more dressed up for it than they are above.

Alex Meraz Calls Out Taylor Lautner, Valentine's Day: Movie is "Lame and Desperate"

Now we know why Alex Meraz is a member of the Wolfpack in New Moon: the guy isn't afraid to bare his fangs.
In August of 2009, the actor threw down the shirtless gauntlet to Taylor Lautner, challenging his status at the hottest hunk in the Twilight Saga.
Now, Meraz has stirred up controversy by playing the role of movie critic: On  February 3, he Tweeted his disdain for the upcoming film Valentine's Day, which stars Lautner, Taylor Swfit, Jennifer Garner, Jessica Biel, Julia Roberts and other A-listers.
"Sorry Taylor but the movie 'valentines day" looks lame and desperate it cries out 'look we have all the biggest starz in 1movie pleez watch!'

Realizing that he may have jeopardized his future big screen career, and having not actually seen the movie, Meraz backtracked just an hour later. He wrote:
"P.S. it has nothing to do with the talented actors in the movie I just don't like the producer & Directors 'get rich quick skeem' nuff said."
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you !

British Politician Rats Out Robsten

We've seen supermarket tabloids claim Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart were an item.
We've heard from Twilight Saga co-stars that have hinted there's a romance between this pair.
Earlier this week, Robert himself said he and Kristen were "together." But this is a first:
A British politician has ratted out the pair! Council member Nicolas Clark was in London pub Tuesday when he spotted Pattinson and Stewart getting cozy together. Then, the guy actually Tweeted about it:
"In The Marquis of Granby with Robert Pattinson & Kristen Stewart," he wrote, later adding: "From what I saw just a couple of kisses on lips. R+K were acting like a couple."

Is this really what we've come to? Politicians are using Twitter to publicize private moments between movie stars?!?

Marie Osmond's Son Commits Suicide

Marie Osmond, Family

 
Marie Osmond's son Michael Blosil took his own life Friday night after leaping to his death from his Los Angeles apartment.
The 18-year-old reportedly suffered from severe depression in recent years, leaving behind a note which detailed his plans to commit suicide. In it, Blosil explained his loneliness, stating that he felt as if he had no friends and simply did not fit in.
Osmond expressed her grief over the tragedy in a statement released Saturday evening: "My family and I are devastated and in deep shock by the tragic loss of our dear Michael and ask that everyone respect our privacy during this difficult time."
An autopsy will likely be done Sunday.
Back in 2007, Blosil, then age 16, entered a rehab facility for undisclosed treatment. At the time, Osmond released a statement saying "Michael is an amazing young man, shown through his courage in facing his issues. As his mother, I couldn't be more proud of him."
Blosil is one of Osmond and her music producing ex-husband Brian Blosil's seven children, five of whom, including Michael, are adopted.
Prior to any public knowledge of Blosil's emotional issues, Marie fought back against National Enquirer claims that she herself had attempted suicide in 2006, and had been hospitalized in Utah.
Osmond and brother Donny have indefinitely canceled their Las Vegas show at the Flamingo Hotel.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on Saturday, Donny simply said, "Please pray for my sister and her family."

Bret Michaels on Miley Cyrus Duet

On Rock of Love, Bret Michaels had more sex with desperate groupies than Heidi Montag has had plastic surgery procedures.
As a result, it shouldn't be hard to grasp the controversy surrounding the rocker's duet with 17-year old Miley Cyrus, especially when the lyrics on "Nothing to Lose" include:
We both know better than this/Still we can't resist/Slowly get undressed/Won't you fall down on me/So close I can feel you breathe.
Still, when asked about the scandalous song, Michaels told Us Weekly "it's blown out of proportion." He elaborated, explaining how the duet came about:
"[Miley's] like, 'This is an incredible song, it's beautiful. Maybe I could [add] some stuff to it, some harmonies,'" Bret said. "She was excited that she didn't have to follow any rules."
Bret Michaels PicMiley Helps
As for telling a girl that's not yet old enough to vote to "slowly get undressed?"
"I never sat down and said, 'Look at the content. Look at the lyrical content,'" Michaels said. "The part where it says she slowly gets undressed, Miley says, 'Yeah she does.' It has no reference to her and I. It's not even a duet."
In conclusion, the long-haired reality star makes no apologies:
"As God is my witness, there is nothing I have to be defensive about. I'm a good dad. I just thought it was a beautiful song."
It's not bad. We just hope Miley showered multiple times the day they recorded it together.
