In case you missed the horrible, awful, very bad news, Carrie Fisher, beloved actress and human, had a heart attack yesterday . It happened while she was flying from London to L.A., and it was a seriously bad one — so bad that after the flight landed, it took paramedics 15 minutes to even find a pulse. She reportedly stopped breathing while the plane was still in the air, and in the minutes it took the plane to land, an EMT who was luckily on the flight kept her alive with CPR. As she was transported to the hospital, she had to wear an oxygen mask, and we also heard that she was on a ventilator in the ICU. Her condition was listed as critical, but now we’ve got an update. And thankfully, it’s good news! Kind of! Carrie’s brother was kind enough to speak with several media outlets last night, and he said that her condition is now stable. But while that sounds like a big improvement from all the awful things we heard immediately after the news of the heart attack broke, his details aren’t quite as uplifting. For example, while the AP reported that he said Carrie was stable, he told Variety that any stories you might see that refer to her as “stable” were simply “writing between the lines.” “There’s nothing new from the doctors,” he explained. “There’s nothing new at all. There’s no good news or bad news.” “She’s in the ICU and everybody’s praying for her.” He told another outlet a similar story, that “She is in the intensive care unit, she is being well looked after. If everyone could just pray for her that would be good.” “The doctors are doing their thing and we don’t want to bug them. We are waiting by patiently.” “We don’t know,” he added. “We hope for the best. We certainly do not know her condition, that’s why she is in ICU.” “I’m sure everyone wants to speculate, but now is not the time for that.” So yes, that’s all very confusing. It sounds like perhaps he was a little premature in referring to Carrie as “stable,” or that maybe he was misunderstood. It would make sense — his sister just had a serious heart attack a couple of hours before, at most. No one would blame him for not being exactly press-ready. It was in the other interviews that he actually gave a few details, and those details are that Carrie is still in the ICU, her condition is still serious, and they don’t know much else. Again, best wishes to Carrie and her family at this time. We’ve lost enough beloved people this year, the world doesn’t need to take her, too.

Frank Giudice, the father of Real Housewives of New Jersey star Joe Giudice, died suddenly in the backyard of his son’s home this afternoon. He was 63 years old. According to TMZ, Frank had no history of health problems when he keeled over while building a chicken coop in his son and daughter-in-law’s garden. Joe and Teresa Giudice believe Frank suffered a massive heart attack, as he was pronounced dead at the scene. Both halves of the famous couple, meanwhile, are facing many years of prison time on charges of mortgage and financial fraud. Celebrities We Lost in 2014 1. Philip Seymour Hoffman R.I.P.

Sad news today that actor James Gandolfini has passed away from a massive heart attack in Italy at the age of 51. Everyone knew James from his work as Tony S…
George Steinbrenner, whose 37-year run as the principal owner of the New York Yankees transformed professional sports for better or worse, died this morning after suffering a massive heart attack. He was 80. More than just a shipbuilding magnate turned Major League oligarch, Steinbrenner also became a pop-culture monolith in fairly short order; his penchant for hiring and firing more managers in the ’70s and ’80s than most teams see in a half-century (including Billy Martin five times ) made him a polarizing figure in New York and beyond. And he could thank Seinfeld for at least some of that notoriety.
Waltzes and quicksteps! So… horribly dorky. Luckily, Dancing with the Stars countered the schmaltz by sticking Lady Gaga karaoke and disco-stick rides at the end of the show. And of course, Bruno Tonioli almost suffered massive heart attacks after every performance. Time to revisit the six couples’ routines, two cha-cha medleys (set to the music of Lady Gaga and Madonna), and our interpretations of Bruno’s mad-horny comments. We also included our own opinions in case you’re desperately seeking sanity.
