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!

Billy Mays was a Druggie? Who Knew?


An official autopsy of the late infomercial actor, Billy Mays, was released today and the results are rather alarming.

While heart disease was still a primary cause of his death, there were also a series of drugs found in his system. Some of these drugs include cocaine, Oxycontin, Valium, and anti-anxiety medications. However, it has been reported that the results show that the drugs were consumed a few days before his death rather than right before his death. Heart disease was still the primary factor in his death, but the drugs definitely could have triggered his death.

Wow. I never saw Billy Mays as being someone to use drugs, especially not cocaine. It just goes to show you that you can't judge a book by it's cover...

Swine Flu Vaccinate to be Available in October


Perezhilton.com is reporting that America's Secretary of Health and Human Services stated that a vaccination against the swine flu will be available for release around October. Testing of the vaccination will go into effect as early as August. Wow! That was fast! If we can make a vaccination against a flu that hasn't killed all that many people, how come we still don't have a vaccine against cancer or aids that kills millions of people each year?
