The medical scare came just after Fantasia Barrino, 26, was named in a court filing alleging that she was having an affair with a married man. The singer denied she was responsible for breaking up the marriage of Paula and Cook. However, on Tuesday admitted having dated Cook “off and on for 11 months.” After a harrowing couple of days, Fantasia Barrino is on the mend – and out of the hospital.

Singer is discharged two days after apparent suicide attempt. By Mawuse Ziegbe Fantasia Photo: Bennett Raglin/WireImage Fantasia Barrino was released from the hospital on Wednesday (August 11) after apparently trying to commit suicide by overdosing on medication . The “American Idol” season-three victor was rushed to the hospital Monday after she was found in a North Carolina home. Barrino’s manager, Brian Dickens, confirmed to MTV News that she was released from Carolinas Medical Center-Mercy in North Carolina after being admitted to the hospital under an alias. “She has been lifted up by the outpouring of love and support from her fans,” Dickens said in a statement to MTV News. “She is more committed than ever to her daughter and her work because they are her heart, her soul and inspiration.” The “Idol” champ shocked fans when she reportedly attempted to take her own life by ingesting a combination of aspirin and a sleep aid . Many Barrino fans have expressed their support during the past few days; however, some have blasted the singer for her alleged relationship with a married man and for almost leaving her young daughter without a mother. Although Barrino has been the subject of public criticism and is obviously experiencing setbacks in her personal life, public-relations expert Howard Bragman believes the Free Yourself singer will be able to bounce back. “I think the number-one thing Fantasia has to do is heal. I think she has to get some psychological help, find out what brought her to this moment, and make sure it doesn’t happen again … that is number one,” Bragman told MTV News. “And once that’s under control, then you start to look at your projects on the horizon. You don’t give yourself this timetable. But assuming she’s well enough in a matter of weeks or months to promote her album or her projects, well, the reality is, we live in a very forgiving society.” Share your well-wishes with Fantasia and her family in the comments.

When California’s controversial Prop 8 was overturned last week, many members of the Hollywood community took to the streets (and Twitter) in celebration. No one was more thrilled to see the gay marriage ban lifted by an appellate judge than Lady Gaga, a longtime champion of gay and lesbian rights and issues. On Ryan Seacrest’s KIIS-FM morning show Wednesday, Gaga said she was elated, saying “Oh my gosh, I felt like it was a revolution, a gunshot went off.” “It was like setting everything into rotation, it was so exciting,” the singer said . “For me, it was a moment that indicates it can happen in every state now.” While being straight herself, Lady Gaga has long been an unabashed, vocal supporter of gay marriage. And outrageous fashion. [Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline] “It has been important for so long, we’ve been fighting about it for so long,” the rumored hermaphrodite continued. “I’ve been fighting for it for so long.” Gaga mentioned during the interview that she wrote a song called “Future Love” about the gay community’s struggles to win the right to legally marry. Hopefully, the judge’s determination that Prop 8 was a violation of the Constitution’s equal protection clause under the 14th Amendment stands for good.
