Amy Winehouse Diagnosed With Irregular Heartbeat

Amy Winehouse fainted at her home on Monday. After the 24-year-old was hospitalized it was reported that she has been diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat. Sources say tests were inconclusive but the doctors treating her now believe they know what caused her symptoms.

According to reports, Winehouse’s drug use lead to the irregular heartbeat. This may result in a heart attack.

A doctor tells the Sun:
Crack narrows blood vessels and raises pressure. It is toxic to the heart muscle, causing an irregular beat. A heart attack is one of the most common ways for the drug to kill. But if Amy’s lucky, she’ll feel much better in 48 hours.

Whatever the reason, it provided some great material for those technical geniuses out there.

Jury Acquits Singer R. Kelly | Not Quilty


Jury Acquits Singer R. Kelly. After less than a day of deliberation, the jury reached a verdict, just a few minutes ago, in the R&B singer R. Kelly's pornography trial. The verdict is Not Guilty on all 14 counts. R. Kelly is a Free Man.

Kelly was charged with 14 counts of videotaping himself having sex with an underage girl, who prosecutors say was as young as 13. He was facing up to 15 years in prison.

Jurors heard closing arguments Thursday.

At one point, Sam Adam Jr., Kelly's attorney, referred to a defense argument made repeatedly during the trial that a mole on the singer's back proved he simply can't be the man in the video. After displaying a freeze frame of the man's back in the video -- with no apparent mole -- Adam said this:

The truth be told, there is no mole. That means one thing... It ain't him. And if it ain't him, you can't convict.

During the trial, Kelly made a good impression on jurors simpy always standing straight and folding his hands in front of him whenever they entered the courtroom.

Also, the jurors made a good impression on Judge Vincent Gaughan. He repeatedly praised their attentive service. All members of the jury took meticulous notes, even when testimony became highly technical.

Clint Eastwood Tells Spike Lee To Shut His Face


Clint Eastwood said that a guy like Spike Lee should "shut his face." Eastwood told the UK's Guardian just that in an interview last Friday.

While Spike Lee was on hand at the Cannes Film Festival to promote his new movie "Miracle at St. Anna", a film about the all-black 92nd Buffalo Division, he criticized Clint Eastwood and his film "Flags of Our Fathers" for not having a single African-American in the movie.

There were many African-Americans who survived that war and who were upset at Clint for not having one in 'Flags' or 'Letters From Iwo Jima.' That was Eastwood's version: The Negro soldier did not exist. I have a different version,
Lee said recently at the Cannes film festival in France.

This was Clint Eastwood's response:
He [Spike Lee] was complaining when I did 'Bird' [the 1988 biopic of Charlie Parker]. Why would a white guy be doing that? I was the only guy who made it, that's why. He could have gone ahead and made it. Instead he was making something else.

As for "Flags of Our Fathers," Eastwood says there was a small detachment of black troops on Iwo Jima as a part of a munitions company, "but they didn't raise the flag. The story is 'Flags of Our Fathers,' the famous flag-raising picture, and they didn't do that. If I go ahead and put an African-American actor in there, people would go, 'This guy's lost his mind.' I mean, it's not accurate."

After Spike Lee heard about Eastwood's comment, "Lee Should Shut His Face," this is what Lee told ABC News:
First of all, the man is not my father and we’re not on a plantation either. He’s a great director. He makes his films, I make my films. The thing about it though, I didn’t personally attack him. And a comment like ‘a guy like that should shut his face’ — come on Clint, come on. He sounds like an angry old man right there.

Note: We agree with Clint Eastwood: Spike Lee Needs To Shut His Face! Get a life Spike...sales must be down.
