911 Called For Ellen DeGeneres: Chest Pains

TMZ is reporting that 911 was called to the Warners’ Bros. lot because Ellen DeGeneres suffered chest pains during a producers’ meeting.

Per TMZ, someone from Ellen’s staff called 911 around 11:53 am but Ellen may already be doing fine. She was seen walking on her own after the Fire Dept. left.

Story developing.

UPDATE: Ellen herself responds to this news: “You know I like to tell you what’s going on in my life. So today, I will tell you what’s going on in my life because TMZ is also telling you what’s going on in my life. So I’ll tell you at the same time that they’re telling you. What happened was, last night I was having chest pains. So this morning the paramedics came to look at me. First of all, I’m fine. Let me just say, I’m fine. The paramedics were strippers that I had called. That’s how the rumors got started.”

Ellen continued, “I woke up in the middle of the night. I was feeling like a tightness of my chest and all the scary things… like something was heavy on my chest and it was a cat so I moved it. I still felt the tightness and heaviness so there was another cat under that cat. There were two cats on my chest. Then I got to work and it was still happening. I was still feeling the pains. So I was like, ya know, I should check this out. It’s better to be safe than sorry. Who doesn’t want to see a fireman occasionally?”

“…We called the paramedics here on the Warner Bros. lot and about 50 trucks and ambulances, like one marching band short of a parade showed up outside of my office. Then they come in with an axe. Break the door down. It was open. I don’t know why they did that. They came in, they asked me all the questions; how are you feeling? When did it start? Family history? Can I get tickets to the ’12 Days?’ All the questions that they would ask, but everything is fine. I don’t know what it is, but it’s fine.”
“I have a baboon heart that I had put in earlier… it’s not true. But I want to say thank you to all the paramedics and the nurses who showed up and everybody and TMZ for caring so much… I appreciate it. Thank you.”

Wanda Sykes Opens Up About Breast Cancer And Her Double Mastectomy


Wanda Sykes reveals a shocking revelation on Monday’s episode of The Ellen DeGeneres ShowThe 47-year-old comedienne will speak about her diagnosis of breast cancer which required her to undergo a double mastectomy earlier this year.

“I had real big boobs, and I just got tired of knocking over stuff. Every time I eat…Oh, lord. I’d carry a Tide stick everywhere I go. My back was sore, so it was time to have a reduction. It wasn’t until after the reduction that, in the lab work, the pathology, that they found that I had DCIS [ductal carcinoma in situ] in my left breast.

“I was very, very lucky,” she continued, “because DCIS is basically stage zero cancer. So I was very lucky. But cancer is cancer. Wanda speaks of her choice to have a double mastectomy:  “I had the choice of, you can go back every three months and get it checked. Have a mammogram, MRI every three months just to see what it’s doing. But I’m not good at keeping on top of stuff. I’m sure I’m overdue for an oil change and a teeth cleaning already. I have a lot of breast cancer history on my mother’s side of the family, which I didn’t know about.”
Wanda of course was funny about her situation like any good comic would be who has survived the worst. “I was like, I don’t know, should I talk about it or what? How many things could I have? I’m black, then lesbian. I can’t be the poster child for everything! At least with the LGBT issues we get a parade, we get a float, it’s a party. I was real hesitant about doing this because, I hate walking. I got a lot of walks coming up!”

Demi Lovato Dishes On Her Breakdown, Wants To Be A Role Model For Young Girls

Demi Lovato, who used to cut herself and constantly battle eating disorders, feels “unbroken” at 19 but told Ellen DeGeneres that when she was younger, “There was nobody out there for me to look at and say, maybe this is unhealthy. Maybe starving myself isn’t the answer.”

Lovato told DeGeneres in an interview which will air Tuesday that she wants to make sure other young girls don’t give in to the same societal pressures that she gave into as a result of idolizing “skinny girls” she saw on the cover of magazines. She wants to empower young girls facing issues similar to her own: “I want to be that for a 13-year-old girl at home deciding whether or not to eat dinner, or an 18-year-old deciding whether or not to keep her breakfast down. There needs to be a role model out there, and for the first time in my life, I actually feel like one.”
“One of the reasons why I became so outspoken when I decided to come out of treatment and talk about my issues was because when I grew up I was dealing with the pressures to be thin,” the Skyscraper singer said. “It was the time in the tabloids when very, very skinny girls were on the cover of every magazine and that’s what I was looking up to. That’s what I had to idolize. I don¹t want that for young girls to idolize.”

The former Sonny With a Chance star emphasized the importance of seeking treatment in order for her to grow and move on with life in a healthier fashion.

She even goes so far as to say that she’s actually grateful for her “meltdown.”

“So many things were going great in my life, and then all of a sudden my personal life just went down at crazy speeds,” Lovato said. “I had a negative breakdown and it changed my life forever.”

Lovato admits, “But if I hadn’t gone into treatment, I don’t know if, one, I’d even be sitting here today, [or] two, if I’d even be alive today.”

Eva Longoria: “I Think Divorce Agrees With Me!”

Eva Longoria has totally rebounded from her divorce from Tony Parker and said on the Ellen DeGeneres Show Thursday that she is now in a “happy place.”

“I’m in a really happy place,” Longoria said, “And people keep saying I look younger!”

“Everybody was just pulling for you and hoping you’d be happy, because we love you so much,” DeGeneres told Longoria, before asking the actress to tell her what lessons she’s learned from the split.

“For me, being a woman, I realized you cannot identify yourself through a man or through your marriage … or through a partner.” She continued, “I think it’s our nature to be socially constructed that way. To just be inferior or subservient and you don’t have to be.”

Longoria added, “You can be yourself and really hold your own by yourself no matter what partnership you’re in.”

Eva finished by giving two thumbs up to her divorce: “I’m going, ‘Wow!’ I think divorce agrees with me!”

Ellen asked Longoria:  “Are you and Parker still friendly? Do you still talk?”

“No,” Eva said.

Hayden Panettiere: “I’ve Had A Lot Of Practice Screaming!” (Photos)

Hayden Panettiere was at The Grove Wednesday to promote her upcoming Scream 4 movie on the Mario Lopez hosted Extra. Hayden said she was a shoe-in for the movie because her fireman father made sure she learned how to scream bloody-hell from a very young age so that she could scare off potential attackers.

The former Heroes star said, “I’m a fireman’s daughter. He used to tell me all the time when I went to the mall with my friends, ‘What do you do if somebody comes up and grabs you?’ He taught me to scream, ‘You’re not my daddy, you’re not my daddy’. So I had a lot of practice screaming, ‘You’re not my daddy.'”

On a somewhat similar note, the 5’1″ Hayden made headlines earlier this week when she told Ellen DeGeneres that the most embarrassing or rudest question people ask her most often is how she gets it on with her 6’6″ boyfriend, Ukrainian heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko.

“I get the rudest people coming up to me and they’re like, ‘does it work?’ ” she admitted to Ellen. “Yeah, it works. We find a way.”

Ellen said “I know what you’re talking about, but I’m in shock.”

Hayden responded, “Where there is a will, there is a way!”

Ellen expressed her disbelief that random people would ask such intimate questions. Hayden said, “They do. And they are very conservative people most of the time but they just have to know. ‘Like, I have to know, I just have to ask you this question. I’m really sorry but…’ ”

Hayden added, “I don’t mind it. I find it amusing.”

“Really?” Asked Ellen. “Then how does it work?” she joked.

Oh Ellen!

Mario is showing off the new People Magazine issue which has photos of Hayden looking gorgeous with no makeup on

The lucky charity who will get the funds is the Gentle Barn Foundation, an animal rescue organization. This makes me super duper happy! 

The eBay winner and the proud owner of the Bierber locks? Golden Palace, the casino that is famous for purchasing all kinds of celebrity memorabilia. 
What do they plan to do with the bag of hair? They will put the hair on tour at Bieber concerts to raise even money for charity.
