<strong>Nicole Richie</strong> has been hospitalized in Los Angeles for pneumonia! The mother of two checked herself in and as of now is reportedly "doing well."</p>
<p>"Nicole has checked into Cedars-Sinai, where she is being treated for pneumonia," her rep said in a statement to <em>Us Weekly</em>. "She is doing well."</p>
<p><a href="http://twitter.com/nicolerichie/status/5746277090" target="_blank">Nicole tweeted</a> that she wasn't feeling well over the weekend saying, "OK, cold, it's been 6 days. Let's part ways graciously &amp; keep it moving."</p>
<p>Richie was apparently coughing in court on Monday while testifying against two paparazzi who she said caused her to get into a car accident. She won her case and was granted restraining orders against them. Which celebrity will be the next to go to rehab?

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><br />
The late <em>SNL </em>comic <strong>Chris Farley</strong>, who made a living enduring fat jokes, is enduring it once more as the star of a new DirecTV ad. Farley died of a drug overdose which NBC writer <strong>Drew Magary</strong> <a href="http://www.nbcnewyork.com/entertainment/television/DirecTV-Desecrates-Chris-Farleys-Memory-Forces-It-To-Watch-Beverly-Hills-Ninja-66034122.html" target="_blank">points out</a> "&#8230;almost certainly stemmed from massive insecurities, and making a (bad) fat joke about him."</p>
<p>For Farley's "friend" and <em>Tommy Boy</em> co-star <strong>David Spade </strong>to cash in on this commercial is probably the most disconcerting aspect. Spade, famous for his dead-pan ripping on Farley, sits back as Farley does his "fat guy in a little coat" routine and lazily snides, “Great, I’m here with tons of fun when I could be at home watching DirecTV… But no, I’m stuck here with either cable… or THAT.”</p>
<p>Did they take the time to piss on his corpse while making that commercial? Holy Jeebus.

<p>Ten-year-old <strong>Shiloh Pepin</strong>, otherwise known as "Mermaid Girl" has passed away. Shiloh was born with her legs fused together. Doctors told her parents she would survive for only hours, maybe days. She had no colon or genital organs, and only one partially working kidney &#8211; a condition known as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sirenomelia" target="_blank">sirenomelia</a>, or Mermaid Syndrome. Most children born with sirenomelia have their legs surgically separated, however Shiloh wasn't able to as vital blood vessels in her circulatory system would have been severed.</p>
<p>Shiloh appeared on <strong>Oprah</strong> to talk about her condition just one month ago. Shiloh was one of three known children in the world living with sirenomelia. She caught a cold at the beginning of October, that developed into full blown pneumonia and she was put on high potency antibiotics and ventilator, but sadly, she couldn’t survive.</p>

Winehouse was in pain during the taping and demanded to see a doctor after filming was over.</p>
<p>A source tells the <em>Daily Mirror</em>, "Amy started shouting, 'I need to see someone, my boobs are fucking killing me.'"</p>
<p>Amy's manager drove her to the London clinic where ordered her to stay overnight as a precaution. Winehouse had only had her breasts lifted a few days prior and doctors warned her that she should be taking it easy, rather than working.</p>

<p><strong>Scott Weiland </strong>of Stone Temple Pilots had a seizure on an American Airlines flight. Weiland had a seizure while flying from Los Angeles to Miami, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport. Weiland he was taken to the hospital for precautionary measures, however he apparently has a history of seizures.</p>
<p>Weiland has had quite the rock star rap sheet. He was arrested in '95 for buying crack, domestic violence in '01, as well as DUIs in '03 and '08. No word on whether or not the seizures are related to his issues with substance abuse. Weiland is reportedly well and will be attending the launch of his clothing line "Weiland for English Laundry" on today.<!-- POST CONTENTS END --><!-- POST OPTIONS START --></p>
<p>Weiland left his band Velvet Rolver in 2008, citing "ego" as the main reason, telling MTV: "Velvet Revolver fell apart because there were too many big egos in the band – and I'm including myself. It wasn't necessarily about bad egos, just big egos, and unfortunately, it just mistakenly kind of eroded."</p>

<p>Fifty-year-old OxiClean spokesman <strong>Billy Mays</strong> sadly and abruptly passed away at the end of June and now toxicology tests reveals that drug use contributed to the death of the enthusiastic infomercial star, the <a title="Hillsborough County" href="http://www.nydailynews.com/topics/Hillsborough+County">Hillsborough County</a> medical examiner concluded.</p>
<p>A Hillsborough County press release says, "from the presence of metabolites of cocaine and the absence of cocaine itself, it was concluded that Mr. Mays used cocaine in the few days prior to his death but not immediately prior to death."</p>
<p>Mays also suffered from heart disease and hypertension. His wife, Deborah, is upset that the medical examiner issued a press release.</p>
<p>She writes, "We are extremely disappointed by the press release released by the Hillsborough County medical examiner's office. We believe it contains speculative conclusions that are frankly unnecessary and tend to obscure the conclusion that Billy suffered from chronic, untreated hypertension, which only demonstrates how important it is to regularly monitor one's health."</p>

The reason why Mischa Barton was placed on <a href="http://beat.bodoglife.com/entertainment/mischa-barton-on-psychiatric-hold-16666.html" target="_blank">involuntary 5150 psychiatric hold</a> recently has reportedly been revealed. Apparently the actress, who has been struggling personally and professionally lately, lost her job on the CW upcoming drama, <em>The Beautiful Life</em>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/the_awful_truth/b136697_source_claims_mischa_barton_tried_kill.html" target="_blank"><em>E! News</em></a> reports that Barton tried to take her life after being told the CW no longer needed her services.</p>
<p>"She tried to kill herself," a source close to Barton told the tabloid. The source also added that Mischa had been given her walking papers—and later rehired—from the television drama.</p>
<p>However, Barton's rep begs to differ.</p>
<p>"Absolutely false," Barton's rep told <em>E! News</em>. "Your source is far from knowledgeable, as nothing they've told you is true, inclusive of the suicide attempt."</p>
