It's been three weeks since the time and I bet he's back 2 normal and right back on his feet. He's probably forgotten all about it.

1:51 and 3:26 are absolute morans. of course you can be hospitilized for the stomach flu, or any type of flu or illness for that matter. i've been hospitilized for the flu (oh, by the way, i'm 32) and healthy - no drugs ever, so try a new one. idiots...

I wish Joaquin Phoenix a speedy recovery, and I can't wait to see his new movie, Two Lovers! Sorry to hear he wasn't at the premiere for his film at the Cannes Film Festival, and I also wish Ted Kennedy a speedy recovery, etc.

BS! Who under the age of 70 gets hospitalized with a stomach flu? It's the same thing as these celebs going to the hospital for "exhaustion." It's all a cover up for a drug overdose.

Ugh, I'm so tired from writing this I'm going to check into the hospital now...
