Lily Allen Hospitalized for Potentially Fatal Blood Poisoning


Just days after confirming the lost of her unborn child, Lily Allen has once again found herself stuck in the hospital seeking treatment for potentially fatal blood poisoning.

The blood poisoning condition that Allen is suffering from is called Septicemia. According to Google Health, Septicemia is usually caused by other infections within the body. Individuals suffering from Septicemia have only a 50% chance of surviving and are required to be treated in a hospital environment, often times through ICU.

Allen's rep has released a statement that says that the singer is responding well to treatment. However, it is still a very serious condition, because, according to Google Health, the condition has the potential to worsen at an extremely rapid pace.

My heart goes out to Lily Allen and her family during this difficult time. I wish Allen a very speedy, full recovery!

Demi Lovato Quits International Tour with the Jonas Brothers to Enter Rehab


TMZ just announced via Twitter that Disney Pop Star Demi Lovato has decided to quit her tour with the Jonas Brothers to seek treatment through rehab.

Lovato's rep gave very vague details regarding what she is in rehab for, stating only "emotional and physical issues". They have denied that the singer is in rehab for drug abuse.

In the past, Lovato has been the center of rumors that she is a cutter. These rumors circulated after the singer was seen out with several marks on her wrist. These rumors were denied and excessively tight rubber bracelets were blamed for the marks. Could their be any truth to these rumors, though? Could Lovato currently be in rehab for cutting addiction?

Shirley Manson Confirms Reunion with Garbage, Says New Album is On the Way


American Top40 just announced via twitter that Shirley Manson, lead singer of the band Garbage, has confirmed the band's plans to reunite and release a new album.

This will be the band's first album since 2005's Bleed Like Me. In 2008, Manson announced her retirement from the music industry, with plans to pursue acting. Singing at her friend's son's funeral has inspired her to come back to making music.

There is no word yet on when new music will be released. Manson has stated that she and the rest of the band has recorded many songs and they still need to narrow the list down.

Are you excited about Garbage reuniting? Or do you think their music is utter garbage that should be left in the retirement home?

Minnesota Vikings Waive Randy Moss, Possible Trip Back to New England in the Future for Moss.


After suffering a blow in yesterday's game against New England and harshly criticizing the Minnesota Viking's coaching abilities, The Minnesota Vikings have decided to part ways with Randy Moss.

The people behind the Vikings have stated that although Moss is a talented player, they know they are still not going to the Super Bowl this year, and they don't believe it's worth putting up with Moss, who has proven to be difficult to work with.

The people behind the Patriots have not yet commented on this issue, but Moss has released statements suggesting that he'd like to come back to play with the Patriots.

What do you think about the Vikings wavering Moss? Good decision, or bad? Would you like to see Moss return to the Patriots (yes, yes yes!!!), or do you think he should head to another team, or stay out of NFL?
