Zac Efron Hiding Serious Illness !?!

June 2, 2010 By Cara Harrington 8 Comments

Word is slowly spreading across the Underground Railroad of Gossip (my email) that Zac Efron is hiding a illness from the world. His lack of appearances raised a few eyebrows along with several attempts to hide while leaving medical centers and even a hospital trip in Santa Clarita. On both occasions he was caught leaving he attempted to hide in his hoodie.

Efron has also been passing on the celebratory glass of wine and champagne at every opportunity. Vanessa Hudgens was also rumored to pick up several prescriptions for her long time love in April.

No real proof has stemmed from the stories. Gossip Cop has also tapped their sources to find out if Zac is ill. Their insiders say he is “perfectly fine,” but fans are worried this might just be more attempts to hide whatever is wrong.

He and Vanessa showed up to the opening of “Get Him to the Greek” and he looked fine. He was also said to be sick the night of Hudgens Nylon magazine party, but he walked the red carpet and answered questions like a PR coached pro.

I am saying this is BS. What kind of world do we live in where a ho can’t pick up their Valtrex prescription in peace anymore?

Lindsay Lohan Facing 5150 Hold ???

March 29, 2010 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Things are getting really bad for Lindsay Lohan yet again! According to reports, Lohan needs to get help very soon or things are going to be bad, with friends worrying that she could become another Hollywood tragedy. Now TMZ says in an exclusive report that in addition to friends and family,authorities are piping up and saying they’ve looked in the situation and feel the same way.

We’re told during one of Lindsay’s crazier nights out recently, cops became so concerned they discussed taking her in for a 5150 evaluation.

They also say that “some police officers who routinely come in contact with Lindsay tell TMZ they have thought seriously about forcing her to get help,” after her recent substance-fueled late nights on the town, which would mean a so-called 5150 evaluation. In other words: If a person can’t take care of him or her self, officials will step in and get that person mental health assistance. Police sources who spoke to TMZ cite Lindsay’s “erratic behavior” and “attitude” as cause for serious concern. They later decided against it after speaking to her representatives because they felt she didn’t meet all the criteria and was capable of taking care of herself, at least for now. TMZ cited a “professional” source as saying that Lindsay is in serious danger of kicking it if she doesn’t clean up her act.

“If she doesn’t get help soon, she’s going to die.”

Friends and family say Lindsay, who has in the past been treated for alcohol addiction, has fallen prey to the vicious cycle of substance abuse. Previously Lohan has been admitted to rehab in an attempt to get her movie career back on track, however it looks as if perhaps another visit may be the best thing for her before she joins the R.I.P Hollywood Elite. It’s hard to believe that the “recovering addict” is really recovering from her addiction when all she’s been seen working hard at is heading out to clubs every night. If that’s the picture of health, then it’s scary to think what unhealthy looks like.

I’m all out of jokes. I hope she gets the help she needs and fast – with Dina and Michael Lohan having nothing to do with trying to make it happen. They’ve already proven to be much more a part of the problem than part of the solution.

Not Captain Phil !!!!!

February 2, 2010 By Cara Harrington 4 Comments

I am a self professed nerd and I admit I LOVE Discovery Channel. Bear Grylls is a sexy beast and I would like to point out that he often strips for his show so it’s more like education porn. Another show I adore is “Deadliest Catch.” In a sad turn of events, Phil Harris has suffered a stroke while unloading his boat, the Cornelia Marie.

Per NY Daily:

“Deadliest Catch” Captain Phil Harris is reportedly in a coma after undergoing 12 hours of surgery Sunday night.
The Seattle-based skipper of the Cornelia Marie, who suffered a stroke on Friday, was placed under a medically-induced coma to reduce brain swelling.

Phil’s two sons, Josh and Jake, released a statement via the Discovery Channel’s site.

“Josh and Jake Harris thank everyone for their heartfelt thought and prayers. ‘The Deadliest Catch’ community has always been more like family than just fans, and Discovery Channel joins the Harris boys in thanking everyone for their wishes of support. Captain Phil is resting comfortably and is in the care of excellent doctors and nurses. We will update everyone on his progress as best we can.”

Get well soon!

UPDATE: Phil Harris woke up! Huzzah y’all! The health plagued Captain of the Cornelia Marie woke up from his medically induced coma on Tuesday.

Via TMZ:

Jake and Josh Harris tell TMZ their dad “showed some good signs of improvement” today, including squeezing their hands. Harris’ sons — who both work with him aboard the F/V Cornelia Marie — say they are “encouraged but still very cautious” as Captain Phil recovers from the stroke he suffered on Friday.

One really good sign — his sons tell us that shortly after waking up, Harris told his doctors and nurses: “Don’t f**k up.”

Fantastic news!

Dennis Hopper on Death’s Doorstep?!?

January 7, 2010 By Cara Harrington Leave a Comment

Let us hope that this is just dribble at the hands of the National Enquirer. The rag has claimed that Dennis Hopper has given up in his fight against cancer and is telling friends that he is “ready to die.”

“Dennis has come to grips with the fact that the end is likely near. He knew going into the last weeks of filming Crash that he was on borrowed time. His doctors had told him they were no longer able to contain the disease, and his condition had severely worsened.”

Hopper has been battling prostate cancer. He was reportedly diagnosed in September of 2009. The word is that it has spread to his bones and the experimental treatment he tried is not working.

I have my fingers crossed that all of this is entirely false. Best wishes for Dennis and his family.

‘New Moon’ Nearly Kills Kristen Stewart

August 26, 2009 By Holly Stafford 3 Comments

It wasn’t easy shooting “Twilight” sequel “New Moon” for Kristen Stewart. Filming the movie nearly kills her, but its not the fault of the motorcycle stunts; Its when her character Bella has to tell Jacob that she still is in love with her vampire lover Edward.

Per MTV:

“My favorite line in the book is when I have to say to [Jacob], ‘It’s him; it’s always been him!’ Like, I have to say that. Yeah, it killed me, it killed me. Just like everything in our movie, it’s such a heightened version of reality. It’s like, people don’t just break up [in the 'Twilight' films] — they break up and it literally kills you,” Kristen says. “It’s not like you just say, ‘Oh, I’m really depressed and crying.’ Everything is supposed to be a fantasy version of that. So I always had a really hard time figuring out, ‘Am I doing enough? Do I look like I’m going to die?’”

Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob, agrees with Stewart that this book turned movie is probably the most intimidating and very complicated, stating that there is a lot of heartbreak. And Jacob’s heartbreak isn’t much easier than Bella’s.

Per MTV:

“Edward leaves at the beginning and she goes into this depression, I come to try and bring her out of it. Then I go through my own issues, and then she leaves me. It’s all over the place, and there’s a lot going on and there’s many of those scenes that you described. Well, we call it the break-up scene — but it’s the scene right after she sees me shirtless and I’ve cut off my hair, all different for the first time,” he says. “I have to tell her that we can’t be friends anymore.”

Fans will gain a better understanding of the heartache when the film opens on November 20. Hey Kristen, if its that hard I’m available to step in!

June 25, 2009 By Crista Webster Leave a Comment

It appears that Charlie’s hottest angel, Farrah Fawcett has taken a turn for the worst. Fawcett has made her battle with cancer public, especially in the last few weeks. And now, it appears the star’s days are few.

Via Extra:

“Extra has learned that Fawcett is now in the intensive care unit at the hospital, joined by longtime love Ryan O’Neal. Mela Murphy, Fawcett’s friend and hairdresser of 18 years who has described her as ‘fearless,’ is at Farrah’s bedside, along with Alana Stewart. Extra has also learned that a priest has been called in — Farrah has always been a devout Catholic.”

Rumor has it the priest has been asked to deliver Fawcett with her last rites. Fawcett’s long-time love, Ryan O’Neal, announced a few days ago that he and Fawcett planned to remarry.

Our hearts are with Farrah and her loved ones at this difficult time. We all continue to hope for a miracle.

UPDATE: Farrah Fawcett has died at the young age of 62. The “Charlie’s Angel” starlet passed away at 12:28 this afternoon. She was surrounded by her loved ones, longtime partner Ryan O’Neal, friend Alana Stewart, friend and hairdresser Mela Murphy.

“She’s gone. She now belongs to the ages,” O’Neal tells PEOPLE, also confirming that she received last rites. “She’s now with he mother and sister and her God. I loved her with all my heart. I will miss her so very, very much. She was in and out of consciousness. I talked to her all through the night. I told her how very much I loved her. She’s in a better place now. “She was with her team when she passed … Her eyes were open, but she didn’t say anything. But you could see in her eyes that she recognized us.”

Our sympathies and condolences to those effected by the loss of this wonderful woman.

T.R. Knight Killed Off Grey’s Anatomy, Katherine Heigl Remains

May 28, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

This is complete crap. Annoyingly snobby Katherine Heigl will continue to lurk in dark corners and chain smoke on “Grey’s Anatomy.” Meanwhile, T.R. Knight’s character of loveable George O’Malley is said to be dead. The season finale (SPOLIER ALERT) left Heigl and Knight’s characters hanging by a thread. It was since rumored that at least one of the two would indeed die. Both actors have wanted out of the show for lack of screen time and playing second fiddle to their costars.

Katherine put her name in for the Emmy race this year after snubbing the awards last year citing poor writing by the staff of the show. However, this year was apparently up to her par and she is hopeful to get another Emmy nod. This leads common sense to believe that she will be staying. It would be a stupid move to chase an award from a show you are leaving.

E! Online reports that T.R. is finally out of his contract and sources are squealing that he will not return.

“Multiple sources tell me that T.R. Knight will not be returning to Grey’s Anatomy next season. I’m told that tension between Knight and show creator Shonda Rhimes has become unbearable for both.”

However, the character’s fate might still be up in the air. Theories contrasting the report by E! claim that George will live, but not be played by Knight. After being crushed and dragged by a bus, the rumors of a plastic surgery makeover could give way to a new actor taking the role of George. Doubtful, but possible.

Regardless, I kinda wish Izzy would have gotten hit by a bus.

Giorgio Armani Recovering from Hepatitis

May 21, 2009 By Cara Harrington 1 Comment

Giorgio Armani has been battling hepatitis behind closed doors. The secretive recovery sent whispers that he Italian designer was falling from fashion grace. To clear the air Giorgio himself has released a statement.

Per Reuters:

“I have in fact suffered from hepatitis by poisoning, which, certainly is not a rare illness. Nevertheless it is one which requires some time for a complete recovery. My commitment both on the creative and management side has never relented,” he said.

“Consequently there has been no shift in delegation of my authorities to any one of the executives and everything in the company is proceeding with the usual energy.”

Thank the fashion gods. I am glad it wasn’t the dirty kind of hepatitis. On a side note I had my 12 year old cousin convinced she’d get hepatitis if she didn’t wear panties and this turned into a small outbreak of fear of public toilets and penchant for granny panties and simultaneously proved I should never be in charge of small children.
