Robert Pattinson Goes Nuts On Fan With Swine Flu

December 18, 2009 By Holly Stafford Leave a Comment

A teenage Twi-hard kissed Robert Pattinson full on the lips before letting him know she had been getting over swine flu, and the actor was sure to know he was none-to-pleased about it. She apparently just happened to spot him standing on the side of the road when she jumped out of the car and threw herself at him. Pattinson might have been a little more acceptable of the kiss if the fan hadn’t said to him that her mother didn’t want her to get out and meet her idol because she was just getting over the swine flu! The revelation sent Pattinson into a bit of a tizzy! He then shoved the girl away and ran off, while yelling over his shoulder at her.

Per News.com.au:

“You have the Swine Flu?… What the hell are you doing kissing anyone?” Rob then told his bodyguards, “You guys have got to keep these crazies away from me!”

Pattinson next went to a drugstore and bought a bottle of Listerine, according to various reports. Surely the excitement of spotting Pattinson randomly on the street over whelmed her good judgment but you can’t blame him for being peeved! You have to give him credit for not smacking the girl all the way back to her mothers car!

Backstreet Boys Brian Litrell Diagnosed With Swine Flu

October 6, 2009 By Holly Stafford 4 Comments

The Backstreet Boys were forced to cancel a meet and greet in NYC after member Brian Littrell was diagnosed with the swine flu. A rep for the band told the press that the remaining boybanders – Nick Carter, Howie Dorough and AJ McLean – have all met with a doctor and so far are okay. The boys and their touring party, who had just returned to the states from Tokyo, have been prescribed Tamiflu as a preventive measure.

Per Backstreet Boys:

“We were really looking forward to spending time with our closest fans and friends in NYC and take part of PINKTOBER, an unbelievable and important program” Littrell says. “I hope we can come back soon and do everything we can to help.”

Littrell made a special YouTube message for his fans to break the news to them and to apologize that the band had to cancel their upcoming appearances. The sickness also forced the cancellation of the groups CBS Early Show performance this morning, where they were scheduled to perform their new single, “Straight Through My Heart.” The intimate performance at PC Richards has also been cancelled and rescheduled for a later date. The groups new album “This Is Us” drops today and they had a whole bunch in-store and TV appearances lined up to promote it. The rest of the promotional schedule for this week has not been determined.

Poor guy looks awful! Hope you feel better soon!

Marilyn Manson Infected With Swine Flu

September 25, 2009 By Holly Stafford 1 Comment

Could this be a case of Karma at its best? The last time we heard anything about Marilyn Manson, he was ranting and raving, threatening to bring an angry mob of fans to the doorstep of any critic who dared to say anything negative about his music. Now, only a few short months after that little tirade, his latest round of trash talking might have actually incensed the great power that be to strike him down with an illness in an attempt to show him whos boss by infecting him with the Swine Flu.

Per Us:

“So I have officially been diagnosed, by a real doctor, with THE SWINE FLU,” the singer, 40, writes on his Facebook page. “I know everyone will suggest that f****** a pig is how this disease was obtained. However, the doctor said, my past choices in women have, in ‘no way’ contributed to me acquiring this mysterious sickness.” He then adds, “Unfortunately, I am going to survive.”

Way to take a dig at your exes while giving me one of the grossest images to ever pop into my head. The rocker had got himself tested earlier this month after coming down with some flu-like symptoms and his report confirmed that he had the disease. But don’t panic Manson-fans… Its not serious, and he is expected to make a fast recovery from it. However, any fans that attended his Ottawa concert not so long ago might want to take a trip to the doctors and get themselves checked out. While performing the song “Beautiful People” at the concert, Manson apparently felt the need to stand on the edge of the stage and shoot some ‘snot rockets‘ out into the crowd. How disgusting! I think this now trumps the last gross image you gave me, Marilyn.

Swine Flu and Celebrities

April 28, 2009 By Cara Harrington 3 Comments

So there is a small epidemic of swine flu growing into a huge problem. Typically things like this are a passing trend. Swine is the new SARS.

Everyone in Mexico is sporting face masks and are going full force on hand washing. Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt are south of the boarder and I am pretty sure Spencer is the cause of the outbreak. After getting married again they most annoying beings on earth headed down to Cabo for a pre-honeymoon excursion. Don’t get too excited…they are taking precautions and wearing masks like everyone else. Heidi is working on a new video which will be an epic failure, but something to laugh at in the near future.

Speaking of morons who should be forced to wear helmets….Paris Hilton feels she is safe from the swine flu because she doesn’t eat pork. A TMZ photog caught up with Hilton and asked her if she was worried about it. She replied with:

“I don’t eat that.”

Oh come on P. You aren’t fooling anyone denying your penchant for pork. By the way, swine flu is passed from human to human and pigs don’t have to be involved. Kinda like chicken pox aren’t contracted from poultry.

Sadly Hugh Jackman won’t betting his Wolverine pimping done in Mexico. The star of the X-Men spin-off is postponing his trip thanks to the epidemic. This stand up fella recently bought coffee and breakfast pastries for 800 people who waited over night for the Arizona opening of the film. Mexico will have to wait for their surprise donuts because Jackman is concerned for everyone’s health.

Per Us:

“I’m a movie fan, I love movies, but they’re just movies at the end of the day — and there are other things that are way more important, such as people’s safety. It’s very tragic what’s going on down there…I’m worried for them.”

Aww…now that is some celebrity good-doing I can get behind. Well, you know me. Anything involving delicious pastries is my bag.

However, the swine flu isn’t just Mexico’s problem. The virus is starting to spread to the U.S. According to the latest reports, two men in California have died from the outbreak. At this moment a total 69 cases of swine flu have been confirmed in the states. The death toll in Mexico has climbed to over 150. Arnold Schwarzenegger has officially declared a state of emergency. New York has even reported 28 cases. A case of swine flu has also possibly come from Orlando’s Disney World. It takes 24-48 hours to confirm a case so it is unclear if it has spread to the Magical Kingdom.

There is a dose of “real” news for you. Now that you’re all scared of pigs and hungry for pastries who’s up for some donuts?
