Britney Spears’ 2-year-old son Jayden James had to be hospitalized yesterday after he unexpectedly had a seizure around 3 p.m.

Britney, who is visiting family in her hometown of Kentwood, LA, rushed him to the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center 25 miles away in nearby Mississippi.

A source told the Daily Mail,

“One minute Britney and her sons were relaxing and enjoying their first visit to Kentwood in months, and the next minute Jayden had fallen ill. He was vague and unresponsive so Britney dialed an ambulance. But she was told it would take half an hour to arrive, and she was best trying to get Jayden to the hospital herself.”

There was no immediate diagnosis so doctors kept the boy overnight. Britney asked for a bed and slept next to her son.

It is being reported that Kevin Federline is currently making his way out of Los Angeles to be with Jayden during this medical crisis.

UPDATE:

People magazine says Jayden did not have a seizure, but instead suffered a serious allergic reaction. He is said to be doing fine today.

Amy Winehouse is back in the hospital with what looks to be another chest infection.

Winehouse was diagnosed with emphysema last June.

Doctors scanned Amy’s chest and found that she does not have the disease again, but she is having similar symptoms.

Her doctor spoke with the British media, saying,

“Amy is in hospital being checked out for a chest infection. She is not back in rehab. She should be fine and is expected to return home soon.”

After her emphysema diagnosis, Amy’s father, Mitch, told reporters, “Doctors have told her if she goes back to smoking drugs it will kill her.”

Nancy Regan, the wife of the late President Ronald Regan, was hospitalized after falling and fracturing her pelvis and lower spine.

She reportedly fell after getting out of bed during the night sometime last week and has been in pain ever since. Ironically, she admitted herself into the Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Center shortly after.

No surgery will be required for the 87-year-old, but recovery may take 8 weeks or longer.

It has been revealed that Janet, 42, was suffering from vestibular migraines which creates the sensation of vertigo

Janet’s manager released the following statement,

“[Janet is] a world-class entertainer and needs to be at the top of her game to give her fans the show they expect. She’s feeling much better and is ready to hit the road again.”

Janet will be performing tonight at the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C. and has rescheduled her Madison Square Garden show for November 1st. Other canceled shows are also currently being rescheduled and will be announced soon.

Poor Janet, migraines suck. I suffer from “Ice Pick” migraines, which feel just like they sound.  Stabbing, sharp excruciating pain. So I can relate.

Janet is receiving treatment and should be good to go from here. Best of luck to her.

Us magazine met up with Travis Barker at the Grossman Burn Center in Los Angeles where he just had another surgery to treat the third degree burns he sustained after surviving the September 19th Learjet crash.

Travis disclosed to the magazine that being involved in a plane crash was always a fear of his.

“I hate planes. My biggest fear ever is to be involved in a plane crash, so when that happened - well, I’m just thankful to be alive. I’m just grateful to be here at all.”

How are you doing?

“I am doing the best I can possibly be. I’m so anxious to get out of here. …I’ve just been in surgery after surgery. I have third degree burns basically from my feet up to my waist and both hands. One of my hands was second degree burns and one was third degree burns. I’m trying to have a quick recovery and play the drums again and be able to hold my kids again. [Barker has two children, Landon, 5, and Alabama, 2, with Moakler.] I’m going nuts not being able to see them and spend time with them!”

After over 25 years as a vegetarian, you had to start eating meat again. Why?

“I need protein from food rather than just protein supplements. I changed my diet. I would do anything I possibly could if they said like, ‘There’s a possibility you might heal faster if you do eat meat or just change your eating habits.’ So I did. I don’t regret it at all, I feel so much better.”

How much longer will you be in the hospital?

“Oh gosh, I hope not much longer. I sit here and I read books and watch TV. I think if this surgery went well, I’ll be here for at most two weeks.”

Kelly Osbourne was snapped by the paparazzi today as she left her home in London, not bothering to cover up a black eye.

Kelly has a mouth on her sometimes, maybe she pissed somebody off.  Someone like her BFF Amy Winehouse?  Now wouldn’t that be funny.  We know how bitchy Amy can get after not sleeping for three days..

Who or what do you think caused the damage?  However it happened, it doesn’t look like it felt very pleasant!

Stumble it!

Christina Applegate, 36, was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this month, and after surgery, she is completely cancer free.

“I’m clear. Absolutely 100-percent clear and clean,” she said in her Good Morning America appearance on Tuesday.

Applegate, whose own mother has battled the disease twice, has the gene (BRCA1) which is known to cause breast cancer. So instead of going through chemo, radiation and worrying about a possible recurrence - she opted for a double mastectomy. The surgery was three weeks ago and was a success.

Applegate said, “Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I scream, and I get really angry and I get really into wallowing in self-pity sometimes, and I think it’s all part of healing.”

“My decision, after looking at all the treatment plans that were possibilities for me, the only one that seemed the most logical and the one that was going to work for me was to have a bilateral mastectomy. So basically I had a prophylactic double mastectomies.”

“I didn’t want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything. I just wanted to kind of be rid of this whole thing for me. This was the choice that I made, and it was a tough one.”

Applegate says that when she found out about her cancer she was immediately angry. But soon after the anger turned to dedication - dedication to beat the awful disease.

Christina will undergo reconstructive surgery, which will take place over the next eight months. She seems to have a good attitude about it and joked, “I’m gonna have cute boobs till I’m 90.”

An inspiration to all of us. I can’t say I would be so optimistic..

Paul Newman, 83, has finished his chemotherapy treatment and has returned home where his loving wife, Joanne Woodward, and daughters will care for him.

Paul is reportedly happy to be out of the hospital and at home, which is where he wants to be when he dies.

A friend of the family says that Paul has been spending time getting things prepared for his passing. Paperwork and legal stuff - but he has also made sure to leave some things to his close friends, and his family is having a hard time with that apparently.

“He gave a prized car – a Ferrari with his racing number 82 on it – to a long-time pal. The sudden move angered his children. It’s especially hard for them to come to grips with what’s going on.”

The source adds that Newman has been told he only has weeks to live. Which might be true, being as he has terminal lung cancer. I’ve lost a family member to terminal cancer and it was not long after treatment that things got ugly. Honestly, I have pretty mixed feeling on chemo/radiation…but we won’t go there..

Newman has also been preparing one of his daughters to take over his salad dressing company.

Newman married his wife 50 years ago in 1958.

He has refused to comment on his condition.

Christina Applegate’s publicist has confirmed that the actress has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The rep released the following statement, “Benefiting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery.”

Applegate’s mother has successfully battled breast cancer in the past. In 2003 Applegate said of her mother’s experience,

“The first time she was diagnosed I was a very young girl – probably 7. I’m not sure it really fully hit me at the time, but she had to undergo surgery and have a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. It was devastating for my mother to lose one of her breasts and have to go through all that. It is a very personal cancer for the women it affects. This is about women’s womanhood. It’s one of the aspects of our femininity.”
