Lady Gaga Fan Resuscitated After Heart Stops Mid-Concert

Showstopper Lady Gaga stopped a fan’s heart on Tuesday night.

Literally.

CNN reports that on Tuesday night, two of the artists little monsters, Crystal Thornton and best friend Christina Tugman, headed off excitedly to Gaga’s Monster Ball in Nashville, Tennessee. They had only experienced part of the opening act before Thornton, 33, suffered a seizure that resulted in her heart literally stopping.

“She stopped breathing, her eyes rolled back in her head, and her body started twitching,” Tugman said. “I was asking if she was OK, and she wasn’t responding.”

Us Magazine reports that Tugman ran out to the venue’s lobby to find help, and within a minute, an EMT had reached Thornton, who was “unconscious with no heartbeat.”

Equipped with a portable automated external defibrillator, paramedics on the scene tried resuscitating Thornton for more than five minutes, before her heart began beating again.

After being immediately rushed to the hospital, by Friday, Thornton was in stable condition, though the cause of her frightening seizure was cited as an undetectable genetic condition.

Though I would probably be a little more worried about this ‘undetectable genetic condition’ causing me to have heart-stopping seizures, Thornton was more concerned about missing the much-anticipated Monster Ball.

“I am so mad I missed the concert,” she said.

Lady Gaga has always made it a point to show her fans love, so who knows? Maybe she’ll help this little monster out with tickets to another show.

Travolta Extortion Case Twists and Turns

As if the Travolta courtcase wasn’t cinematic enough already, his lawyer has adopted some choice moves from the movies to help move the trial along.

According to TMZ, the defense attorney tried to claim Travolta’s lawyer Michael McDermott was the one behind the extortion plot to which – and this is when it gets good – McDermott responded, “You can’t handle the truth! You can’t handle the truth!”

The line is straight out of A Few Good Men starring Jack Nicholson, Tom Cruise and Demi Moore, and the defense lawyer didn’t miss the reference.

The lawyer for the alleged extortionists replied, “You’ve watched ‘A Few Good Men,’ huh?”

The twist in the case came when a transcript was released of a conversation between McDermott and Pleasant Bridgewater, alleged extortionist and attorney for paramedic Tarino Lightbourne. The document shows the two haggling over what the Travoltas would pay to prevent the release of a “Refusal of Treatment” document Travolta allegedly signed the night of Jett’s death. In the transcript, McDermott complains that the demands for $25 million would mean Travolta would have to come up with “like a pickup truck full of money,” and proceeds to offer property instead of the cash.

The whole tragic ordeal started when Travolta’s son, Jett, was taken to hospital via ambulance after suffering a massive seizure in the Bahamas, despite Travolta’s urge to have him flown to Florida where he thought he might get better care. In the end, Jett was driven to hospital, and paramedics tried to revive him on the way with no result. Allegedly, Lightbourne and Bridgewater demanded $25 million if they were to keep quiet about the document authorizing Jett’s transport to the hospital via ambulance.

Travolta claims the two threatened to release a “refusal of treatment” document he signed after Jett was found unconcious following a seizure. Then, in a last-ditch excuse, Bridgewater told McDermott her client wanted to keep the document because it was signed by a celebrity.

Travolta gave a heart-wrenching testimony on Sept. 23 and the case is still developing.

John Travolta will testify in next week’s extortion trial involving the death of his son, Jett. TMZ reports the actor will be travelling to the Bahamas, the location of Jett’s death, to testify on behalf of the prosecution.

Paramedic Tarino Lightbourne and former politician Pleasant Bridgewater are being tried for allegedly demanding $25 million in exchange for not going public with documents authorizing paramedics to take Jett to the hospital via ambulance following a seizure.

Travola and wife Kelly Preston are reportedly outraged by the alleged extortion plot.

Jett, 16, died of a seizure in January during a family vacation to the Bahamas.
