Just days before Frankie Muniz turns 27, he suffered a mini-stroke. The Malcolm in the Middle star Tweeted, “I was in the hospital last Friday. I suffered a ‘Mini Stroke’, which was not fun at all. Have to start taking care of my body! Getting old!” According to TMZ his friends saw him acting weird so they took him to the hospital, it was there he got his scary diagnosis for someone so young. As of now doctors don’t know what caused it.
Hopefully tomorrow for his birthday, he will get the gift of better health and this was a one time scare never to happen again to him.
A lot of us know Lisa Whelchel from The Facts of Life, but a whole new group of people are getting to know her as a contestant on Survivor this season. Well now the actress turned reality competition contestant took to Facebook yesterday to announce that she has West Nile Virus. All Blair Warner said was “Dr. just called with blood test results…I have West Nile. Ugh. I’m fine, just tired. Takes a year to recover. :(” At this time it is unclear if he she got it when she was in the Philippines shooting the CBS show or if she got it in her native Texas, the latter making more sense. But we are all hoping that she will recover quicker than her expected time because I know I for one love having her back on our televisions every week. You know one of the networks needs to cast her on another sitcom ASAP. Or how about we bring back The Facts of Life for a whole new generation? What else is the cast doing?
BTW Lisa is still a contestant on Survivor, so make sure to watch her tonight at 8p on the show. Who knew Lisa was nothing like her famous character? I mean Blair would’ve been out the second she found out there were no showers, but Lisa is still is going strong!
Alex Trebek suffered a mild heart attack yesterday and he is expected to make a full recovery. According to The Hollywood Reporter he is expected to be back at work on Jeopardy’s 29th season when it begins production next month. This is the game show host’s second heart attack, and just like now back in 2007 he was back at work in a few weeks.
Let’s hope for what is a speedy recovery.
Michael McKean was walking in Manhattan yesterday when he was struck by a car. According to The NY Daily News the actor was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, but after doctors looked at him they upgraded his condition stable. His publicist Harriet Steinberg said he suffered a broken leg and “he’ll be okay, hopefully he’ll be fine. It’s pretty devastating.â€
The actor is starring in the Broadway show The Best Men and yesterday was the first time he missed a call in his whole career.
Hopefully he will be better soon and will never have to miss another show again.
Nick Stahl who starred in Terminator 3, Bully, Carnivale and Twist was reported missing by his wife. The 32 year old has been missing since May 9th and his wife fears it might be drug related according to TMZ. She fears he might’ve gone down to Los Angeles’ Skid Row and got himself into trouble here.
The actor has been as known for his problems as much as his acting and I pray that he is found OK and gets the help he needs. If you see him please contact the police and let them know where he is.
