In Treatment

It Gets Better. Now Eat! Photo Credit

Demi More was taken to an LA-area hospital Monday night, and while further details are unknown, some reports claim prescription drugs were a factor. According to her rep, “Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health. She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends."

This news is not surprising, considering the last few months. While her marriage to Ashton was ending, ex Bruce announced his engagement and she threw herself into work, and if rumors are true, self-medicating. But it seems Demi’s proactively looking to makes some changes before imploding (take note Heather). I’m no doctor but my advice? Cut yourself some slack. Take a long nap, eat, and I mean really eat, savor a huge carbo-loaded meal, maybe two, and then take vacation somewhere quiet with your daughters. You may be sad that Ashton is partying in Brazil with supermodels but it is what it is. So far, you’ve weathered his douchy-ness with grace so cut yourself some slack, read a good book and enjoy a good meal.

You’re going to be ok girl (even if you chose to drop out of the Lovelace biopic). It’s alright, we understand.
The bits

• R.I.P. James Farentino. He died of heart failure at age 73.
• A woman we should all admire for her bravery, Elizabeth Smart, is engaged. Congratulations!

And it wouldn't be gossip unless two other couples called their engagements off:

• Aretha Franklin and Wilie Wilkerson are no longer heading towards marital bliss. “Will and I have decided we were moving a little too fast, and there were a number of things that had not been thought through thoroughly. There will be no wedding at this time.” – Makes you wonder if that’s code for he won’t sign the pre-nup.
• Simon Cowell (52) also ended his engagement to Mezhgan Hussainy, but the couple has not officially broken up. “It's quite a complicated relationship. We have had a break from each other, and we are still incredibly close. I'm vulnerable. It's not on, it's not off, it's somewhere in the middle. I don't know if I will ever get married, but I am happy."

But has amazing fore-arm strength.

• Project Runway’s Tim Gunn announced on the talk show The Revolution that he hasn’t had sex in 29 years. Um, ok.

But obviously there are still plenty of others having sex as it is another week of babies-to-be galore.

Instead of  breaking up, we thought it made more 

sense to have a baby.  Photo Credit

• This week Jay DeMarcus (Rascal Flatts) and his wife announced baby #2, as did former Bachelorette Jen Schefft and husband Joe Waterman and Josie Maran and boyfriend Ali Alborzi. Kate Capshaw and hubs are expecting baby #3.
• And re-engaged couple, Kristen Cavalari and Jake Cutler, are expecting their first child. As our own T observed, this child is a “Band Aid Baby, Trap-him Keep-him, and Nest Egg all in one tidy little package”.
• Also expecting their first child are Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky, and Majandra Delfino and David Walton.
• Sarah Drew had a boy, Micah Emmanuel, and Bryce Dallas Howard and Seth Gabel had their 2nd child, Beatrice Jean Howard-Gabel.
• And although it is only a rumor it’s been swirling the internet for some time now that Jennifer Aniston is at least six months pregnant. The news is doubtful, her tummy could look like that because she had an extra cup of coffee and a vitamin, but if it is true, prepare for bump-watch 2012.
• Tracy Morgan was taken to the hospital after collapsing at the Sundance Film Festival. It’s said he is fine, and the high-altitude was to blame.
• Kevin Federline was taken to the hospital in Australia (where he is filming the weight loss reality show Excess Baggage) with chest pains after collapsing during a challenge that involved running and catching with the Greater Western Sydney Australian Football League team. Sources say he did not have a heart attack. But how about that for a wake-up call? Good thing he’s on a show to lose weight, because he clearly needs to!
• Troubled actor Jeremy London was charged with spousal battery from an incident with his ex-wife back in November. His lawyer claims the allegation is false.

Quote of the week

The Depp fortune remains intact...or does it?

“Yes it's false! Of course it's false!” – Vanessa Paradis denying reports that she and longtime love Johnny Depp have separated. She went on to add that rumors like this “can truly harm my family”. Interesting to note (or not) is that Depp has not made a statement either way.
