Heather Mills Hospitalized After Skiing Accident

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 12th, 2011

Heather Mills has left a hospital after receiving treatment for a shoulder injury she sustained during a skiing accident in Austria, Access Hollywood reports.

Best known as Paul McCartney’s ex-wife, Mills crashed on the Moelltaler glacier Wednesday and was flown by helicopter to a hospital in the southern city of Lienz. She was diagnosed with a fractured right shoulder blade.

She is expected to make a full recovery and was released midmorning Thursday. Mills, who uses a prosthetic leg, recently bought a house in southern Austria and is training there for the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games..

Mills said she crashed into a plastic pole that had turned as hard as steel due to the cold.

“That’s skiing, you know,” Mills said. Uh, I’m pretty sure ramming into a pole isn’t part of the sport.

Mills, a former model, married ex-Beatle McCartney in 2002. They divorced in 2008.

This is nice and all that she’s recovering, but my question is: why was a woman with one leg skiing? Seriously – that spells a recipe for disaster. What if her leg popped off! She must be quite the athlete to be able to balance on her one leg – I can’t even ski with both my legs.

Shania Twain’s Divorce Caused Her To Lose Voice

Posted by Christian Allaire on May 9th, 2011

Country music star Shania Twain bares all in her new memoir, revealing that the end of her 14-year marriage caused her to lose her singing voice.

In the new book, titled ‘From This Moment On,’ Twain shares that her inability to express her feelings finally caught up with her and affected her ability to sing.

“I’m going to have to go through some very serious physiotherapy and recovery to be able to sing again,” Twain told ‘Canada AM’ co-hosts Beverly Thomson and Seamus O’Regan today.

It’s been three years since Twain, 45, ended her marriage to Robert Lange, 62. The split came after Twain learned Lange had fallen for her best friend and close confidante, Marie-Anne Thiebaud. That’s just plain awful.

“It wasn’t difficult to write this book. It was difficult to share it with the public,” said Twain. ”I’m sure I’m not the only one in the world who has gone through the things I’ve gone through. I know I’m not alone.”

In the memoir, Twain writes how she was “freezing cold all the time” and would take five hot baths a day just to warm up. Even then, Twain would “wear a winter coat” over her pajamas.

After she learned of the affair, Twain recounts how she felt chilled to the bone yet she was dripping in sweat for one long, dark, week. She writes that she was “forcing the pain out of my pores so I wouldn’t drown in it.”

Twain is no stranger to heartache, unfortunately. She grew up in Timmins, Ont., in a household rife with financial difficulties and arguments. Twain’s mother battled depression, but was the driving force behind Twain’s music career. ”In the more desperate times she pushed me because she needed it more than I did,” said Twain.

Twain eventually married Thiebaud’s ex-husband, Frederic, on January 1, 2011 in Puerto Rico. Kind of ironic, but I’m glad she found happiness.

Since she disappeared for such a long time, I’m glad she’s making her triumphant return in a stable state. Hopefully she’ll regain her voice and make more music – Canada misses her!

Barbara Walters Ready for Her Recovery Following Heart Surgery

Posted by Jacob Morris on May 14th, 2010

A rep for Barbara Walters says that the daytime talk-show co-host is “recovering as expected” following her heart surgery, reports People.com.

The 80-year-old host of The View underwent surgery to replace a faulty heart valve on Friday.

“[Her] surgery went well and the doctors are very pleased with the outcome.”

Walters made an announcement on The View on Monday, saying that she has “known of this condition for a while now,” but wanted to keep the surgery a secret.  Walters said, “I thought it best not to talk about it too far in advance.”

Walters is ready for some time off, she says.  “Since the summer is coming up, I can take a nice vacation.”  Her recovery is expected to last between one and three months.

Bret Michaels Recovering and Back on Tour Next Month

Posted by andPOP Staff on April 29th, 2010

Although Bret Michaels suffered a massive brain hemorrhage, the rocker is hoping to head back on tour next month.

Michaels’ condition was recently upgraded to stable according to PerezHilton. However he still has a risk of seizures due to lack of sodium in his body.

The following statement was released on his website:

“While Bret is recovering we obviously have some shows that are being rescheduled. We are working to reschedule dates from now until May 21st

At this time we are planning to resume the tour May 26th in Ft. Smith, Arkansas, provided there are no further complications or setbacks. We will then continue with all scheduled dates throughout the summer and fall, including the June and July tour with Lynyrd Skynyrd

While additional studies are planned throughout the week to hopefully detect the exact cause of the rupture, Bret will remain monitored closely by his medical team to make sure no further complications occur. He is responding well to tests and treatments.

Even though yesterday was a minor setback, doctors remain hopeful for a full recovery and plan to release more specific information next Monday.”

Shania Twain’s Tells Oprah Reality Show helps with Recovery after Divorce

Posted by Angelina Irinici on April 9th, 2010

We’ve all had our share of disloyal friends, but none tops grieving country-music star Shania Twain’s longtime friend and assistant. She says doing a reality show on Oprah Winfrey’s new cable network is another step toward her recovery after heartache, reports People.com.

“I feel like in a way I’m starting over, with everything,” Twain, 44, told Winfrey in an interview at an event in New York on Thursday. “This is a very personal experience that I think is important to share. This is an experience of recovery. I was in a very deep, dark slump, and I needed to find a way to get myself out of it. I had to force myself back out into life, back out into experiencing things.”

Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo Given Go-Ahead to Perform Again

Posted by Sara Harowitz on January 19th, 2010

Just over a month after a tour bus accident forced alternative band Weezer to cancel their remaining tour dates in support of their latest album Raditude, lead singer Rivers Cuomo has been given the go-ahead to return to the stage, reports rollingstone.com.

“Doctor says my lung is all healed – cleared to fly to Florida for the show. Turns out I broke 5 ribs!!!” Cuomo wrote on the band’s Twitter account.

After staying a week in an Albany, New York hospital, Cuomo was forced to bus back to Los Angeles because doctors were concerned that the change in air pressure when flying could affect his recovery.
