Owen Wilson was hospitalized today, but depending who you read it will give you a different reason of why. The Star is reporting that it was a suicide attempt, The National Enquirer said he was suffering from dehydration and the need for detox and TMZ has undisclosed reasons. TMZ got this statement:
"On Sunday Aug. 26. 2007 at 12:10 PM, officers from the Santa Monica Police Department responded to a medical assistance call from the Santa Monica Fire Department at the 900 block of 23rd Street. The person was transported to a local hospital where they are being treated."
I hope that he gets better quickly and tomorrow his publicist will issue a statement why he was really hospitalized and it wasn't for a suicide attempt.
Nick Hogan (best known for being part of VH1's Hogan's Knows Best) was seriously injured today in Clearwater, Fl when the car he was driving crashed into a tree according to WTVT. Witnesses said that he was speeding before his Toyota Supra crashed into the tree. Police had to cut his passenger and him out of the car and both were airlifted to the hospital. Nick is currently in serious condition, but his passenger is in critical condition.
Hopefully Nick and his friend will be OK soon.
UPDATE: TMZ is reporting that Nick was discharged from the hospital this morning.
KCBS is reporting that Merv Griffin is in Ceders-Sanai after being diagnosed with a recurrence prostate cancer.
In a statement, Griffin said : "I'd rather play Jeopardy! than live it. I was ready for a vacation; however, this wasn't the destination I had in mind."
Griffin's son, Tony, said his father was resting comfortably and was upbeat.
My favorite night time talk show host Jimmy Kimmel was rushed to the hospital yesterday for an emergency appendectomy according to TMZ. He spokesperson said he “is resting comfortably and is looking forward to getting back to work.” ABC also confirmed that “Jimmy Kimmel Live” have been canceled until Kimmel recovers.” No word if Guillermo performed the surgery or if Cousin Sal was looking to see what Kimmel left him in the will just in case.
Please say a prayer with me that he is better by the time Paris Hilton is released because we need Jake Byrd and him to cover the release like no one else will.
Get well Jimmy Kimmel!!!
The patriarch of General Hospital, John Ingle (Edward Quartermaine) passed out at the Daytime Emmys according to TV Guide. John Ingle who is 79 says he is doing better now, "After a day of rushing around and not eating Friday afternoon, I felt dizzy as I entered the foyer of the Kodak Theater for the Daytime Emmys. Before I knew it, I was looking up at the paramedics, who soon took me to a local hospital for overnight observation. I was able to go home the following day after the doctors gave me a thorough examination with a clean bill of health. I appreciate everyone's concern and I look forward to heading back to the GH set on Thursday."
I can tell you that I while was walking up the red carpet with my friend, that the paramedics rushed past us and told all of the carpet to enter the Kodak Theater but they did not tell us who passed out. It was extremely hot on the red carpet especially considering everyone was in gowns and because it was about the time that show was about the start it was really crowded which did not help things. I am glad he is doing better and it was nothing too serious.
