Pop Culture Roundup – May 24, 2010

Posted on by

It has been a bizarre week for pop culture, even by Hollywood standards. Here are a few of the things that have happened: Brittany Murphy’s Husband Found Dead Simon Monjack, widower of Brittany Murphy, was found dead Sunday night at the couple’s home in Hollywood. Right now, officials are saying the 39-year-old Monjack died of natural causes, but there will be an investigation. Monjack was discovered by Brittany’s mother Sharon, who has shared the home with him since Brittany’s death. Anyone really surprised by this? We often criticize people for not grieving enough after a death, but this man seemed … Continue reading →

Bret Michaels’ Health, Lindsay Lohan’s Troubles and R.I.P. Ronnie James Dio

Posted on by

Rocker Bret Michaels suffered another health setback this week. He was readmitted to the hospital after suffering numbness on the left side of his body. Doctors called it a “warning stroke” and further tests revealed a hole in his heart. It is not believed that either of these issues is related to his recent brain hemorrhage. The good news is both conditions are treatable. Michaels’ rep Jann Elias said the rocker was walking and talking and going to rehab daily. Michaels had hoped to appear on next Sunday’s “Celebrity Apprentice” finale against fellow finalist Holly Robinson Peete. But, doctors are … Continue reading →

Update on Bret Michaels and Hugh Hefner Saves the Hollywood Sign

As you have probably heard, former Poison frontman Bret Michaels suffered a painful brain hemorrhage last Thursday and has been in critical condition every since. His rep today said that while he remains in critical condition, he is stable, but he got another health setback today. He has been diagnosed with hypoatremia, a lack of sodium in his body that can cause seizures. Michaels’ rep declined to say whether the rocker had actually suffered any seizures or not. The doctors continue to run tests, trying to find the cause of the bleeding at the stem of his brain. Some are … Continue reading →

Rocker Bret Michaels in Critical Condition

If you have watched any of his reality shows (“Rock of Love” and “Celebrity Apprentice”), you are probably aware that rocker Bret Michaels is a Type 1 diabetic. Having had several friends that were Type 1 diabetics, I know that this disease can really do a lot of damage to your health. In one of the last episode of “Celebrity Apprentice,” Michaels was upset because the doctors feared his young daughter was a diabetic as well and he knew how tough it would be if she was. And while Michaels has appeared healthy on this season’s “Celebrity Apprentice,” his health … Continue reading →

The Joaquin Phoenix Circus Continues while Bret Michaels Opens Up

Joaquin Phoenix is in the news again and as you might suspect, it is not in a good way. The actor turned rapper has puzzled everyone with his new bizarre personality and looks, but no one really seems to know if it is all an act or just a frightening public breakdown a la Britney. Phoenix was performing at the Fountainbleau’s LIV nightclub in Miami Wednesday night when he experienced a heckler (and if you’ve hear his “music,” that is completely understandable!). It was around 2 a.m. when Phoenix, who had exchanged barbs with the heckler, decided to take matters … Continue reading →

VH1 Adds More Celebreality Shows

Posted on by

I have always loved VH1 for bringing us such sinfully entertaining reality shows as “Flavor of Love” and “The Surreal Life.” Well, if you loved those, get prepared for two more: “Scott Baio is 45…and Single” and “Rock of Love.” You probably remember Scott Baio as cute little Chachi Arcola, Fonz’s cousin on “Happy Days.” Scott played Chachi on the long running show from 1977 until 1984. If you are too young to remember that, then you probably have fond memories of Scott in the leading role of “Charles in Charge.” He acted in that sitcom from 1984 until 1990. … Continue reading →
