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.”

Adam Goldstein, better known as DJ AM, spoke to People magazine recently, describing the horrific night that he and friend Travis Barker were almost killed in the infamous Learjet crash.

“I’ve prayed every night for the past 10 years. There’s a lot more to thank God for now. My philosophy is ‘live life to the fullest,’ (and) I was saved for a reason. Maybe I’m going to help someone else. I don’t question it. All I know is, I’m thankful I’m still here.”

Although Goldstein is more than grateful to be alive, he is mourning the loss of good friends and the pilots who were killed in the crash.

“My emotions go back and forth. At the first hospital, I screamed, ‘Thank you!’ Then I wondered, ‘Why did I live?’ I can’t believe I made it. Any second, it can all be gone.”

“I saw Travis running and flailing, trying to put out fire on his body. He screamed, ‘What do I do?’ and I said, ‘Roll!’ He did, but the fire didn’t go out,” AM continued. “He tried to rip his clothes off. I finally put the flames out by smothering him with my body. Some of my burns are from that. His sock was on fire - I burned my fingers taking it off.”

Now that’s friendship.

Goldstein’s treatment hasn’t been easy. He says at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta, Georgia, he wavered “in and out of consciousness.” Then after taking a bus back to California, he received skin grafts on his arm and neck at Grossman Burn Center at Sherman Oaks Hospital.

“They shaved my head and took layers of skin from my scalp. To heal the wounds, I was in a hyperbaric chamber for 90 minutes twice daily for four days. It’s claustrophobic. One of my first nights home, I watched ‘Iron Man’ with friends. In the scene where Robert Downey Jr. comes out of the cave with a blowtorch, my whole body cringed. That night, I had a nightmare someone spilled fuel on me and was trying to light me on fire. I woke up and thought, ‘Oh my God, this is going to happen forever?’ ”

Adam knows he needs emotional therapy as well as physical, and is considering treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.

On Tuesday he attended a welcome home party, an event that raised money for Barker’s assistant, Chris “Lil Chris” Baker, and his bodyguard, Charles “Che.”

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.

After taking a couple of weeks off from touring due to an unknown illness, Janet Jackson is ready to hit the stage again.

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.

DJ AM (Adam Goldstein) was snapped while running errands in Los Angeles recently, and in the photos you can see the extent of his injuries.

AM, who has vowed to never fly again (just like Travis Barker), was spotted with a shaved head and a very burned left arm. He suffered second and third degree burns after last month’s Learjet crash.

Goldstein is excited to return to the stage this week at the Hollywood Palladium - as Jay-Z’s DJ!

AM told People magazine,

“He’s the greatest rapper in the world. This is the biggest thing that’s happened in my career.”

Well, the plane crash didn’t exactly hurt his career. Quite the opposite, I think. I’m sure lots of opportunites and endorsements will follow. And good for him, he deserves it. I always liked AM.

Travis Barker took to his MySpace page as a means to communicate with fans from the hospial bed and to update them on his condition.

Here are the pictures he posted accompanied by his exact words.

Thank you
I want to give my deepest thanks to everyone who has helped deal with the current situation. First and foremost, Chris and Che were my friends. I would give up anything to have them here with us today, healthy and happy. To call them my employees does them such a disservice, as they were so much more than that. Chris was my best friend before anything else, and I can never put into words how much he will be missed. Che was an amazing person as well, and I was honored to have him in my life.

I am simply amazed and will be forever grateful for all the support everyone has shown to Chris and Che’s families. Its a testament to how many lives they touched in a positive way.

Hospital Life!
Like the doctors said from the beginning, its been a slow recovery process. I am coming up on the 7th of my surgeries Monday. Today I finally was able to move all my fingers on my right hand. Every step seems huge at this point, and Im doing EVERYTHING I can possibly do to get back to my kids. Yes, I did start eating meat again, but if it helps me to be home holding my little humans sooner, then its all worth it. The staff here are all bomb! Dr. Grossman and his staff are the best. The BOSS Barbara, and nurses Betty, Jay , Emily, Julio, Lolita, and Stephanie (with the best scrubs ever!) are all taking the best care of me.

My good friend Armen has been kind enough to save me from the hospital food, and brings Jamba Juice, Wahoos, or whatever else I need to keep my calories and protein levels high.

Despite any rumors you might have heard via my EX-wife Shanna Moakler, who I have not seen since the week I checked in, Ive been treated amazingly well, both here in LA and in Georgia. The hospitals Ive been treated at are THE BEST.

My friends and family have been amazing. My pops has been with me ANY time I need him. My sisters, James, Skinhead Rob, Daniel, Hoover, Armen and of course Ricardo and Nicole, have all shown amazing support. JD and Mark Hoppus both took the time to come visit and offer their support as well. Estevan Oriol even came in with a calendar.
Saying “thank you” to all these guys just wouldn’t be enough…

I got to see AM the other day. Seeing him after he was discharged was an inspiration. I saw just how awesome the doctors’ work here is, and got to see how well he is doing. I am so happy to see him doing well, and we are both so lucky and grateful that we are alive today.

Im even using some of this time to help design the summer ‘09 Famous line. Maxx, Jose, Bill have been awesome helping to keep the machine going. These are some seriously dedicated people, and Im lucky to call them friends.

Now Im just counting the days until I can leave. I cant wait to get home to play drums with my son, and go for bike rides with my daughter. I cant wait to see the pictures from Landon’s “Jack and Sally Nightmare Before Christmas” birthday party that we had for him today. I am bummed that I couldn’t be there, but thank God Ill be around to see many, many more.

Thank you everyone for your support!

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!

Honestly, I can’t believe anyone cares.

I hate Dancing With the Stars, it’s like the new Lawrence Welk! It’s cheesy, it’s boring and I could give a crap about most of the ’stars’ they have on the show. I know most reality shows are complete garbage, but this one is the grime in the bottom of the trashcan!

Ok, enough with my rant.

Kim Kardashian is supposedly scheduled to be on the show next season. TMZ says that Kimmy has been practicing but suffered a major setback yesterday when she cut her foot on a glass table.

No, she wasn’t dancing on glass tables, (which I wouldn’t be surprised if she was, because I really don’t think she’s that smart) it was a glass coffee table in a hotel room that got her. The cut was probably pretty deep because there was blood everywhere. Kim was rushed to the hospital where she was treated.

If you do care, here is next season’s preliminary line up.

The funny/sad thing is, while everyone is freaking out about Kim, DWTS and her foot, one of the Barenaked Ladies survived a fricking plane crash yesterday!

Ed Robertson and three passengers on a Cessna 206 crashed in Ontario, Canada at about 12:30pm. All of them were able to walk away from the scene.

Deputy fire chief Brian Sears said the passengers were very lucky to have survived the crash. He said they climbed out of a window and that none of them suffered a single scratch.

The band’s spokesperson Adam Smith stated, “Everyone is fine, and that is the important thing. That’s all the comment we have at this time.”

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..
