No word on who the talented, world-famous actresses are.
Demi Moore, Madonna, Bruce Willis, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Salma Hayak are among the guests that are being urged to get a Hepatitis A vaccination after attending Ashton Kutcher's 30th birthday party at New York bar Socialista on February 7th because one of the bartenders that worked the party was infected.
New York City Deparment of Health and Mental Hygiene medical epidemiologist, Dr. Sharon Batler said "We are asking these bar patrons to get this vaccination as a precautionary measure."
Most of the warned guests seemed to laugh off the threat of disease. They were all like You're not gonna get me this time Ashton! Madonna took some extra precaution though, doubling up on her Kabballah water intake.
Kid Rock was arrested on charges of misdemeanor battery early Sunday morning after getting into an altercation at a..wait for it......Waffle House in DeKalb County, Georgia.
So Kid was chowing on some healthy grub after a show when a man named Harlem DeJon Akins recognized a woman in sitting with him and started speaking with her. Shortly after Kid intervened,a fight broke out between the two men. Five additional men that were with Rock also got involved in the fight which moved from the restaurant to the parking lot but not before a window was broken (by Akins) and maple syrup had gotten everywhere.
After the fight, Kid and his crew took off in their tour bus. The bus was stopped about a mile from the restaurant and Kid and then five men were taken into custody and charged with battery. He posted a $1000 bond and was released later that day around 5 p.m. Akins was charged with second-degree criminal damage to property for breaking the window at the Waffle house which was valued at $500. And that there's a felony charge. You don't fuck with the Waffle House!
It was reported in Britain's Daily Star newspaper that Pete Doherty's cat was recently rushed to the vet after eating cocaine. Police are now said to be investigating the matter.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the RSPCA (Royal Society for the Protection of Animals) said, "It is a police matter, so we cannot deny or confirm the identity of the man who had his kitten removed. But it is very important to protect animals from substances that can do them serious harm."
"Answer me!!! Who taught you how to do this stuff?
"Meow. It was you alright? Meow, I learned it from watching you!"
Junkie rock stars who use drugs, have pets that use drugs.
Drew Barrymore, Sandra Bullock and Hugh Grant, among others, may have contracted Hepatitis A at the Wolfgang Puck catered premiere party for the film Music and Lyrics on February 7 thanks to that cook with Hepatitis A. This is the second scare at a celebrity event, the first being the Sports Illustrated cover party for Beyonce (who did not contract the disease).
A letter was sent to guests warning them of a "public health issue." It advised them to get a gamma globulin shot within 14 days of exposure - before February 21 if they had eaten uncooked food. Problem is, the letter wasn't sent out until March 1. Sponsors of the party claim the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health did not inform them of the problem until February 28th.
Maybe that cook should maybe rethink his career path, just a thought. I dunno, maybe get a job where he doesn't touch things that go into people's mouths?
One of Wolfgang Puck's prep cooks may have exposed guests at the Sports Illustrated party to hepatitis A. The Los Angeles County Department of Health sent all guests, including Beyonce, alerts and recommended vaccinations for anyone who ate uncooked food such as sushi and fresh vegetables. So far, no illnesses have been reported. The tainted prep cook was not involved with any of the recent Oscar parties.
Damn Wolfgang, this one's going to be harder to redeem yourself from than "Puck and Pickler."
