6Lil Wayne Hospitalized Again For Seizures; He’s OK. Kelly Osbourne’s Doctors Still Baffled By Her Seizures

Lil Wayne was hospitalized not long ago for suffering from seemingly random seizures. Dr. House got on the case and he was diagnosed with epilepsy. Well, it happened again. Maybe because he allegedly won’t stop taking his “Sizzurp” although he cites stress as the reason. Not much to report on this, but here’s a snippet from USA Today via TMZ:

Lil Wayne was hospitalized Tuesday after suffering a seizure, TMZ reports. The rap star, 30, was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles late Tuesday night by his bodyguards after a single seizure and released early Wednesday morning, according to the website report.

“I’m fine. Thank u,” Lil Wayne tweeted at 11:23 a.m. PT Wednesday.

Kelly Osbourne also suffered from sudden seizures around the same time. Someone REALLY needs to get Dr. House on this one, because her doctors are apparently still “baffled” by her attacks. From SFGate:

Kelly Osbourne is still no closer to finding out what caused a seizure, nearly two months after she collapsed on the set of her TV show.

Doctors later concluded Osbourne had suffered a seizure, but the star admits she still hasn’t been given an official diagnosis and has no clue what brought it on.

She tells the Sydney Daily Telegraph, “I still have absolutely no idea what caused it. But if there was something positive to come out of it, it’s that I’ve started looking into what might have happened and what different foods do to your body and it’s made me an even healthier person.”

Osbourne is now considering cutting out tea, coffee and fizzy drinks after hearing that caffeine could be a factor, adding, “Some say caffeine can have a certain effect on you so it’s things like that (I’ve learned). I don’t want to be a sob story and make it sound like I want people to feel sorry for me or something (but) it was completely terrifying.

“What most people don’t know is everyone will experience some sort of seizure in their life. Mine just happened in front of everybody.”

Uh, what? What’s that last part she said at the bottom there? Is that something doctors told her? “Everyone will experience some sort of seizure in their life”? An actual, medically defined seizure, or like the kind of seizure I get when I’m drunk and someone plays Billy Joel and it feels like my entire body explodes an awesome fit of dancing? I’m going to need some clarification here.

0Lil Wayne Okay? Plus Kelly Osbourne Update.

Lil Wayne suffered a seizure last week and was taken to the hospital. He was in the ICU at Cedars-Sinai for a while but now it looks like he may be in the clear — he was released last night. TMZ reports:

Wayne spent 6 days in the hospital — most of it in the Intensive Care Unit — after suffering what appears to be a drug OD that triggered a series of massive seizures.

Sources connected with the rapper tell us … Wayne is feeling weak but he’s a lot better.  He plans on laying low until he makes a full recovery.

Kelly Osbourne also suffered a seizure. Yesterday was her first day out and about. Her spokesperson said,

Doctors ran numerous tests and determined that this was most likely a onetime episode of which there are no conclusive results. (ABC News.)

Well that’s horrifying.

Best of health to both of them.

8Kelly Osbourne Seizure Update

Kelly Osbourne suffered a seizure last week on the set of taping the TV show Fashion Police. To bring you up to speed:

Kelly was sitting in a chair, shooting the show in front of a full studio audience. Melissa Rivers was sitting next to her, filling in for Giuliana Rancic. Kelly turned to Melissa and said, “I don’t feel good,” and then she fell out of the chair and started shaking.  Melissa then turned Kelly’s head to help her.  Someone from the audience — some kind of emergency responder — then ran up and helped.

Kelly came around a few moments later, but her handlers wanted to have her hospitalized anyway. We’re told it’s the first time Kelly has ever suffered a seizure.

According to TMZ, we’re now learning that the condition may be more serious than everyone thought. Doctors are looking into epilepsy as an explanation. Ms. Osbourne has been put on anti-seizure meds. She is still in the hospital and will be for a few more days. Reports from E Online though are more optimistic, saying she’s, “Doing fine.” Her rep released a statement:

There is absolutely no confirmed diagnosis regarding Kelly’s condition at this time. She is under a doctor’s care and they are continuing to run tests. Kelly is fine and thanks everyone for their continued support.

4Kelly Osbourne Had A Seizure

Kelly Osbourne had a seizure while taping an episode of Fashion Police. As of now she appears to be okay. TMZ has the details:

Kelly was sitting in a chair, shooting the show in front of a full studio audience. Melissa Rivers was sitting next to her, filling in for Giuliana Rancic. Kelly turned to Melissa and said, “I don’t feel good,” and then she fell out of the chair and started shaking.  Melissa then turned Kelly’s head to help her.  Someone from the audience — some kind of emergency responder — then ran up and helped.

Kelly came around a few moments later, but her handlers wanted to have her hospitalized anyway. We’re told it’s the first time Kelly has ever suffered a seizure.

We do not know what triggered the episode. As for her condition, it’s unknown … but Joan Rivers — who was also present on set when Kelly suffered the seizure — tells TMZ, “She is fine. We just saw her.”

ABC News also reported that, “She was awake, alert and stable after the episode, and will spend the night in the hospital for observation as a precaution.”

Hope she’s okay! The whole ordeal sounds terrifying.

20Kelly Osbourne Joins The Messed Up Ankle Club

Like a couple of her Hollywood peers – myself and Demi Lovato, that is – Kelly Osbourne has joined the jacked up ankle club after tripping over a drain in a public restroom or something. I dunno, but here’s what she said about it on Twitter:

I just got my cast off on Tuesday (I had a bimalleor fracture and surgery to insert a plate and 8 screws) and am slowly learning to walk again, which is by far the most painful part of the whole affair, so I feel Kelly’s… pain. Literally. Pipe down, it’s a Friday and I’m low on material.

In any case, it’s good to have a partner in times of need like this, as Kelly herself found out when she realised that lying in bed for weeks on end is pretty much all you can do when you can’t walk.

Word to the wise: you’re not supposed to put anything inside a cast to scratch your leg as the skin is sensitive and you could cause lesions. The itching will kill you, but not if gangreen does first, kids.

3Grammy Fashion 2013

The 55th Annual Grammy Awards happened last night and all that means to me is that we get to “Ooh!” and “Ahh!” and “WTF?” over what everyone was wearing. There were guidelines this year for what attendees could and could not wear. I mean, really! Here are some highlights:

Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. [...] Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible ‘puffy’ bare skin exposure.

Hee hee, puffy! That’s some creative phrasing.

So let’s get to some standouts, for better or for worse.

Singer Carly Rae Jepsen may have finally redeemed herself in my eyes after that diabolical BCBG nightmare of an outfit she wore at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards. (Rumor has it someone was fired over that outfit. I hope so.)
