His rep denies he was treated for a drug-related problem

Body

Actor Verne Troyer, best known for his role as "Mini Me" in Austin Powers, was rushed to the hospital today, Usmagazine.com has learned.

A source close to Troyer, 39, says the actor was experiencing "flu-like symptoms" while shooting The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (Heath Ledger's last movie) in Burnaby, British Columbia.

Adds the source, "He’s been working really hard on the film. They just wanted to hydrate him."

A rep for Troyer denied that he was treated for a drug-related problem.

“Verne is fine and doing well and is back to work,” the rep tells Us.

Troyer checked into rehab for alcoholism in 2006.

He opened up to Us at a Grammy party in February about struggling with addictions.

"You have to have people help you," he told Us. "You need to reach out and tell people that you have a problem and just say, 'I need help.' There are a lot of people out there that will help."

The peeping took place when she was put in a psych ward

Body

UCLA Medical Center is firing some employees for snooping through Britney Spears' confidential medical records while she was hospitalized in a psych ward earlier this year.

More than 13 employees (none are doctors) will be axed, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Twelve others, including several doctors, will also be disciplined for looking at her non-psychiatric computer records from her previous visits to the Los Angeles medical center.

The Times reports that there is no evidence yet that any employees leaked or sold the information.

This isn't Spears' first peeping problem.

In 2005, several workers were fired after they went through her records after she gave birth to son Sean Preston.

"It's gotten so bad there's nothing left of me," he blogs

Body

In a new blog post, Steve-O confirms a report that he is being hospitalized in a psych ward.

Under the title "You should all know I am in the looney bin," the Jackass star, 30, writes:

"They call it 'code 5150,' that means 'psycho,' legally, f----n bat-s--t, certifiably.

"I'm outta my mind, believe-you-me. How'd I get this way? How can this be? It's gotten so bad there's nothing left of me."

He adds that pals, including Johnny Knoxville, "came to my home" and physically "forced me into the hospital."

Steve-O appears under the influence in a new new YouTube video. It was posted days after TMZ.com reported that he is being hospitalized at a mental health unit of L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

News broke yesterday that Steve-O — who once dated Nicole Richie — has been charged with felony possession of cocaine.

The charge stems from a March 3 arrest for investigation of vandalism and possession of a controlled substance at his Hollywood home.

Bizarre new footage of the <i>Jackass</i> star appears on YouTube days after he's hospitalized

Body

Jackass star Steve-O appears under the influence in a new YouTube video posted days after he was hospitalized in a psych ward and charged with cocaine possession.

"You'd think all the time in prison would've taught me something," he tells the camera before erupting into a hysterical laughter. "I'm dead sober, you see!"

He then starts to juggle fruit for the camera before going off on the war in the Middle East. "Everybody's thinking about themselves!" he says.

Later, he cryptically asks, "Who cares when you die?"

The video prompted blogger Perez Hilton to write: "Notice the mysterious white powder in his nose. It's honestly INSANE."

News broke yesterday that Steve-O, 33 — who once dated Nicole Richie — has been charged with felony possession of cocaine.

The charge stems from a March 3 arrest for investigation of vandalism and possession of a controlled substance at his Hollywood home.

TMZ.com also reported that Steve-O was hospitalized at a mental health unit of L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center last Sunday.

A rep for Steve-O had no comment yesterday when contacted by Usmagazine.com.
