Val Kilmer Fitted With Tracheostomy Tube; Actor Reportedly Loses the Ability to Speak

Back in October, we reported that Val Kilmer had been hospitalized after undergoing an emergency procedure that may have saved his life. Reps for Kilmer assured fans that there’s no cause for concern, but sources close to the acclaimed actor have maintained that his religious beliefs nearly cost him his life. Several insiders claim Kilmer nearly died after refusing to seek treatment for a “grapefruit-sized” tumor in his throat.  As a practicing Christian Scientist, he reportedly believed that the ailment could be treated with prayer, meditation and positive thinking. However, it seems that while the emergency surgery may have saved Kilmer’s life, it also left the actor unable to speak and permanently dependent upon a breathing apparatus. According to Radar Online, Kilmer was spotted with a tracheostomy tube while shopping at Trader Joe’s in Los Angeles today. The device is the result of a tracheotomy procedure, which usually leaves the patient unable to speak on his own. Kilmer may be able to express himself verbally using an electronic speech-synthesis device. Reps actor are still refusing to respond to questions about his health, but it now seems that their initial claims that his tumor was benign were inaccurate. Kilmer himself has only addressed the issue once, writing on Facebook that the rumors that he is “unwell” are “totally untrue.”

Report: Witness in Mel Gibson Case Dies

Mel Gibson’s babysitter , who may have been a key witness in the domestic abuse case involving his ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, has lost her battle with cancer. The sitter, whom he crassly labeled a “wetback” in one of his now-infamous rants , and who claims she witnessed the actor’s rage, passed away over the weekend. According to Oksana, the babysitter witnessed Mel storming around the house, slamming doors and screaming on the phone, “I want to [expletive] destroy you.” The woman never provided a statement direct to law enforcement investigators before she died, and says she didn’t come forward sooner because of her cancer. She apparently left the actor’s Malibu mansion before his alleged January 6 rampage, during which Oksana claims Mel punched her while she held their daughter. What the babysitter actually witnessed, we may never know. However, her testimony could have been critical in at least establishing that Mel was very much out of sorts that day. It’s all a moot, tragic point now, however. In one recording, Gibson is allegedly heard referring to the babysitter, saying, “I will fire (name omitted) if she’s at your house. I will make it known and fire her.” The deeply disturbed individual then throws in this dig at her: “I’ll report her to the (expletive) people that take (expletive) money from the wetbacks, okay?” Grigorieva is hoping to strip the actor of custody of their daughter, Lucia, now nine months. Her attorneys say the audio tapes prove he’s a danger to the child. The recordings may not be viable in a criminal probe as they were made without Gibson’s consent, though she claims she did so because she feared for her life .
