The two dancers - who were not named - collapsed during rehearsals and were taken to Cedars-Sinai for evaluation. According to the judge, the competitors have all been dancing up to 12 hours a day and were likely dehydrated. As a results, practices ended early on Saturday and were completely canceled (for everyone) on Sunday.

All four competitors - Stephen ‘Twitch’ Boss, Katee Shean, Courtney Galiano and Joshua Allen - are expected to return to the floor today.

Chalk up another one for Cedars-Sinai..

The LA hospital welcomed another celebrity today when High School Musical star Zac Efron was admitted to the hospital.  The 20-year-old was apparently suffering from a case of appendicitis.  According to his rep, the actor has since had his surgery and is now recuperating.  (Maybe Vanessa Hudgens can shoot a few new photos to keep him company?)

Efron, who has already been confirmed for the big-screen version of High School Musical 3, is currently shooting the Freaky Friday-esque comedy, Seventeen.

Britney Spears Out…and Talking to Dr. Phil?

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Talk Shows, Syndication, Gossip

UPDATE:  Dr. Phil has now decided against doing a show based on Britney.  You can read his statement here.

Despite being placed on what was believed to be a 72-hour hold, Britney Spears was quietly discharged from Cedars-Sinai this morning.  Although it is widely believed the troubled star should be forced to seek some type of help, the hospital had no choice but to release her.  They couldn’t keep Spears against her will unless they thought she might physically harm herself.  (She was not technically considered ‘suicidal’ when she was admitted to begin with.)

But fans concerned for her well-being shouldn’t worry—Dr. Phil McGraw has taken it upon himself to make sure Britney knows people care.  The talk show host had a private conversation with the Spears this morning as she was being discharged from the hospital.  Here is the exclusive statement he made to Entertainment Tonight:

“My meeting with Britney and some of her family members this morning in her room at Cedars leaves me convinced more than ever that she is in dire need of both medical and psychological intervention. She was released moments before my arrival and was packing when I entered the room. We visited for about an hour before I walked with her to her car. I am very concerned for her.”
