The Leno story keeps changing. Breaking news is never right. Now, I just read that he is spending the night in the hospital. 5

Jay Leno cancels 'Tonight Show' taping; in hospital with mystery illness
BY Richard Huff In New York and Nancy Dillon In Los Angeles
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS

Updated Thursday, April 23rd 2009, 5:39 PM

'Tonight Show' host Jay Leno He is in the hospital with an undisclosed illness, though he is reportedly in good spirits.
Late-night funnyman Jay Leno checked into a hospital with a mystery illness - and the Thursday and Friday "Tonight Show" tapings were canceled, his spokeswoman said.

One of Hollywood's hardest working comics, Leno wasn't feeling well and sought treatment, NBC spokeswoman Tracy St. Pierres told The Daily News.

She was quick to shoot down Internet chatter that Leno, 58, had a heart attack.

"No! My Gosh!" she said. "He's doing fine … He was kidding around with the hospital staff and running his monologue jokes by the doctors and the nurses. He's expected back to work on Monday."

Leno's publicist Dick Guttman characterized the illness as "mild," saying Leno remained in the hospital Thursday afternoon for observation.

A report on NBC-owned "Access Hollywood" speculated that Leno had food poisoning. St. Pierre said she did not believe that was the case, but she declined to elaborate further.

Guests lined up for the cancelled show included hunky actor Ryan Reynolds, Jules Sylvester and the swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy.

NBC was planning to air a repeat of "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" Thursday night.

Leno, who's helmed the "Tonight Show" since May 1992 is scheduled to move to the10 p.m. hour in September, sparing NBC the need for more expensive primetime programming. Starting June 1, comedian Conan O'Brien is taking over the 11:30 p.m. slot that follows local news.

I wonder what's going on? I hope he's ok.

Tish, my guess for the picture above:

Phil Spector and he's leaving court.

Nah, it's MJ. I just can't figure out why he'd cover his entire face.

Maybe to protect from any sun exposure at all? I think he's said he can't have any sun whatsoever.

I heard that Leno checked himself into the hospital because he doesn't have a personal physician (which surprised me).

Too weird - As I was reading the article above about Leno, the story came on our local news. No new info, though.

Scottish singing sensation gets dye job, makeover

LONDON – Say it ain't so, Susan!

Singing sensation Susan Boyle — whose dowdy image contrasted so greatly with her angelic voice that she became an instant Internet celebrity — has gone in for a makeover.

Boyle, 47, had her graying, frizzy hair dyed chestnut brown and styled in what The Sun tabloid says was a 35-pound ($50) makeover. And instead of the old-fashioned dress she wore on the TV show "Britain's Got Talent," the Scottish singer was photographed wearing a stylish black leather jacket with what looked to be a Burberry scarf.

Asked if she would change her looks on CNN's Larry King Live, Boyle replied "Why should I change?"

Judges of "Britain's Got Talent" will decide whether Boyle gets through to the next round on May 23.

LOL. Ya gotta love Gwyneth. Or something:

OVER the years, Mario "Fanta Pants" Batali's weight has ballooned along with his ego. It's gotten so bad, insiders said, that his pal Gwyneth Paltrow gave him a free membership to the pricey gym that she and her fitness friend Tracy Anderson are opening in TriBeCa this summer, saving him the $4,500 membership fee and monthly bills. An insider said, "Mario is the only fat friend she has, and wants him to change." NY Post

Annie, poor Susan doesn't look too thrilled with the change. I'm hoping it's just that photo. But she does look so severe in that pic.

Why is the dye job news? They also had a story taht she got her eyebrows plucked. I think that is sad when eyebrow plucking makes the headlines.

I think she looks nice. I'm already a fan no matter what look she chooses. She's been somewhat isolated living with aging parents and a in a town that had her pegged as the wierdo. I don't see any reason why she wouldn't enjoy an updated look. There's a huge difference between losing a little frump and becoming the next Joan Rivers.

Leno Out of Hospital and "Doing Well," Will Return to Tonight on Monday
Today 1:50 PM PDT by Josh Grossberg

Jay Leno is "doing very well." And that's no joke.

After being laid up in a hospital Thursday night and forced to cancel his first Tonight Show episodes since taking over from Johnny Carson, the late-night funnyman is home and ready to get back to work, his publicist tells E! News.

Leno was discharged from Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center on Friday afternoon. Spokesman Dick Guttman says doctors held Leno overnight for observation purely as a precautionary measure.

While Leno will likely mine his stint in sick bay for laughs when he returns to Tonight on Monday, he'll spend the rest of the weekend resting up from whatever ailed him.

Guttman was unable to confirm reports that comedian had been struck by food poisoning or dehydration.

"I'm not sure that's the case but whatever it was, it certainly was severe enough that he couldn't do the show but it wasn't symptomatic of anything major and he'll be back on Monday," the rep said.

Aside from Thursday and Friday's Tonight Shows, Leno, who turns 59 next Tuesday, also canceled his two weekend standup gigs in Las Vegas.

I was hoping Susan would go ahead and do the makeover thing, it's her time to shine and a bit of foofing always makes a girl feel prettier. Not to say I thought she needed it, but I didn't want her to feel like she couldn't enjoy a good makeover because the world viewed her eyebrows iconically - like the underdog nature of her story depends on them.

I'm looking forward to the next round for BGT, and will be particularly interested in what Stavros Flatley has up its sleeve. I think they're kind of a one-off, but so funny!

Bea Arthur died today. She was 86 and reportedly died peacefully at home with her family at her side. She had cancer.

God bless Bea, she gave me many a good laugh.

Thanks, OG, that is a very nice photo. I can't believe she was 86 already. Always such a young spirit. She was one of my faves...

linkage


Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick will be taking on new roles: parents of twin girls.

The "Sex and the City" star and her actor-husband are expecting twins through a surrogate pregnancy, representatives for the couple said Tuesday.

Parker, 44, and Broderick, 47, "are happily anticipating the birth of their twin daughters later this summer with the generous help of a surrogate. The entire family is overjoyed," said a statement from the publicists.

The couple has a 6-year-old son, James Wilkie Broderick, and will mark their 12th wedding anniversary next month.

Details about the surrogate or her pregnancy were unavailable, the publicists said.

weird. wasn't it only a few months ago they were allegedly divorcing?
