Celebrity Illness

Oh no! I loved him in Carnivàle. I'm not surprised to hear he has a drug problem but I'm sad that it's apparently pretty bad.

I liked T3. He was a better John Connor than Bale, I thought.

Quirky super talented 90's actor boys I loved have not fared well into adulthood, between Furlong, Renfro, and no Stahl. Hope they find him and he's okay. Yes he was absolutely a better John Connor than Bale, T3 might even be my favorite of the whole series.

Does Jonathan Brandis count? I liked him, too.

Nick Stahl resurfaced. Well, sort of. I hope he really does get the help he needs.

Michael McKean hit by a car, now in stable condition. Warning link contains pictures of him being treated at the scene and the car.

I hope he'll be okay. I love him. :(

Oh, no! I hope he's better soon.

Ack, that's awful, thank goodness he's in stable condition, and I hope he fully recovers.

Jack Osbourne diagnosed with MS. He's so young, and he just had a baby.

That's really tough. I'm glad he's talking about it, though, and I hope he continues to be a visible voice. I work for the National MS Society (we are going to be busy tomorrow!), and I wonder if he's going to get involved at all. I'm interested to read the full story, and I'm wishing him all the best. He seems to have really grown up and gotten it together, and it's been great to see.

I'm glad he's talking about it, though,

I am too especially since he's young and a dude, it's easy to forget that men and people in their 20's can develop it. Luckily there are great drugs on the market in the last 15 years that significantly retard the progression of disease, hopefully Jack has minimal plaques and hasn't suffered any permanent disability.

Poor Jack. Poor Tommy, too. :(

I thought the same about publicity and awareness for his age and sex. I do hope he has a less awful form of it. I know a colleague of mine whose wife died of MS complications in her early 30's, leaving behind a 4-year-old.

Nick Stahl checks out of rehab early and gone missing again.

Oh boy, I'm thinking this isn't going to end well.

Dammit, Nick.

Alex Trebek suffers mild heart attack, expected to recover in time to tape 29th season of Jeopardy.

Sadly, this is the most press he's gotten in ages, so he may think it's good for his career. If that's the angle, I hope he can hang on to sobriety long enough to cash in on the attention.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez is suffering from dementia.

Nick Stahl has returned and is going to AA. Hope it sticks this time.

Jesus, whew.

Bob Hoskins has Parkinsons and is retiring effective today, to spend more time with his family. He got diagnosed last fall. That sucks. I adore him and am sorry hes going through this.
