Bad Swedish meatballs or did he finally listen to St. Anger?


Metallica had to cancel a show in Stockholm, Sweden yesterday after singer James Hetfield was rushed to the hospital minutes before they were set to perform.

Drummer and band asshole Lars Ulrich made the announcement to the disappointed fans, saying that Metallica were "truly, truly, truly sorry."

James' spokesperson said that he caught a stomach bug Sunday and also suffered dehydration. He left the hospital that evening and has since returned to the United States with the rest of the band.

Shocking!! Amy Winehouse faints!!



Amy Winehouse was rushed to the hospital after fainting in her London home earlier today. She reportedly fainted after she went outside to sign autographs for fans that were waiting outside her home and discovered they were gone.

Her spokesperson told PEOPLE that Amy "quickly recovered" and needed her manager's assistant "to stop her falling" in her home. He said,
"She's fine. It was a brief thing and they took her in as a precaution. Her Dad drove her to a private hospital, but they're unsure what caused it so aren't taking any chances."

Doctors do not know what caused Amy's fainting spell.

It's a medical mystery!!! What could have caused a healthy young woman like Amy to pass out? Somebody get Dr. House on a plane to London!!!!

Steve-O is insane



No, he really is. He was checked into a mental health hospital and placed on a 72-hour hold which his since been extended to 14 days.

Steve was arrested on March 3rd after a dispute with a neighbor. Soon after that, he taught the world to juggle on the video above. If that didn't set off enough alarms, Steve then emailed some of his friends suicide notes. In them, he blamed a broken relationship for the reason he wanted to end his life.

On Sunday his bodyguard and a woman friend brought him to the hospital, where an insider says he caused a major scene, "Steve started flipping out. He told doctors he wanted to hurt himself badly. He wanted to break every bone in his body one by one."

A source at the treatment facility told Star Magazine, "Steve is stabilized on meds at this point. He was also treated for burns on his skin as if he had been putting cigarettes out on his own body."

Today Steve posted the following message on his blog:

"You should all know I am in the looney bin. They call it "code 5150," that means psycho,legally, f*ckin bat-sh*t, certifiably. I'm outta my mind, believe-you-me. How'd I get this way? How can this be? It's gotten so bad there's nothing left of me."

Saving the world and repopulating it at the same time has taken its toll



Life & Style Weekly has reported that Saint Angelina, who is rumored to be pregnant with twins, collapsed on her flight home from Iraq two weeks ago.

The story claims that Angelina fainted in her seat and was given oxygen and treated for nosebleeds and leg cramps.

Because of early-pregnancy complications with Shiloh, Brad and Angie have moved a full-time nurse into their home as a precaution. The only problem with that is that Angelina is never home and always in some third world country!!

I will say a prayer to Saint... oh wait, I usually pray to Saint Angelina. Shit! What am I going to do now?

The Package



Britney was hospitalized last night and is now once again placed on a "5150" (in non Van-Halen terms, that's a three-day psychiatric hold) at UCLA Medical Center. It is possible that the length of time may be extended to 14 days.

This all went down after Britney's lawyers hired a new psychiatrist who visited Britney last night. After taking one look at her, he concluded that she was a danger to herself and others and decided she needed to be mentally evaluated. Finally!!

A plan that Britney's family and the LAPD have been working on to get Britney hospitalized then took place. After originally being planned to take place Monday night, it all went down last night without any problems. The police and paramedics showed up and brought Britney, who went willingly, to the hospital. Over the radio, the police used the code word "The Package" while transporting Britney to the hospital so she wouldn't freak out.

In the meantime, Brit's family has been at odds with Sam Lutfi over who will make the decisions regarding her care. The good news is that none of them will!! The judge will from now on!

BRITNEY Circa 2008 - EVEN MORE DRAMA !!

In case anyone was concerned that we hadn't heard much about psycho Britney for awhile, fear not! Lots of crazy shit went down at the Spears house last night.

It all started when the LAPD were called to Brit's house in Beverly Hills last night around 8:00 PM for a "family custody dispute." The cops would not say who made the call or the details of the dispute, however it is known that Britney was supposed to have her kids until 7:00PM. Earlier that day, Britney was two hours late for her deposition in the custody battle.



Soon after an ambulance, fire trucks, and more officers showed up.

TMZ learned that Britney refused to turn Sean Preston and Jayden James over to to K-Fed's bodyguard at 7:00PM, as she was ordered to.

The ambulances were called to the scene after police found Britney to be "under the influence of an unknown substance." (So how is that any different from any other day?)



After that, two of the ambulances left Britney's house en route to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. One had Britney and the other had Jayden James. Sean Preston was brought to K-Fed's home shortly after that. It has not been disclosed what Jayden was brought in for.


Britney enjoyed the ambulance ride and all the cool lights and sounds.

The paramedics were seen strapping her legs down. She liked that too.


Britney was then brought into the hospital. Upon her arrival she "flipped out" on the paparazzi waiting outside. She has since been placed on "medical hold" a.k.a. a mental evaluation. I can't imagine why. She is still there as of this post.



Meanwhile, K-Fed's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan is headed to court to ask the Commissioner to take away all of Britney's visitation rights. It is expected that will happen. Although the law firm that is supporting Britney has asked to withdraw as counsel, one of the attorneys from the firm will appear on Britney's behalf.

CRRR--AAZZZZYYYY!!! I need a nap after all that!

What is Acute Coronary Syndrome?


OH NO!! Alex Trebek had a minor heart attack Monday night! It's ok, he was hospitalized but he's doing much better now.

A rep for Jeopardy told PEOPLE, "He has had a very minor heart attack. He is resting comfortably."

Doctors expect Alex to make a full recovery and return to his hosting duties in January when production resumes.

Get well Alex! Let's all watch this in his honor.
