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.”

In 2012, Yolanda was diagnosed with Lyme disease, and has since traveled the world in search of a cure. David has been by her side for much of the time, as the former model’s Instagrams have shown. Cracks began to show, however, as Yolanda’s health continued to deteriorate. ” Things really changed in their relationship as Yolanda got sick, and then when her health worsened,” a source told People . “David travels all the time and they simply weren’t spending any time together.” The couple sold their Malibu home for $19.45 million in October, according to Variety . On last night’s RHOBH premiere, Yolanda explained that she and her husband had moved to a condo he owned for easier access to medical care. “They just grew apart and the intense stress over her health and the disease was very hard on their marriage,” the source added. On December 1st, Yolanda’s co-star, Kyle Richards spoke about the split on Watch What Happens Live . “We didn’t know,” Richards told Andy Cohen. “But I think they’ve been struggling, and Yolanda’s been so sick and I don’t know if that has anything to do with anything, but it’s just so sad.” Yolanda and David were introduced through her ex-husband, Mohamed Hadid, with whom she has three children.

Yesterday, Kim Kardashian asked fans to pray for her , as she revealed that her baby is breech, which may complicate her delivery and force her to undergo an emergency C-section. It’s a frightening revelation, and Kim says that’s not the only complication she’s facing as she heads into the final weeks of her second pregnancy. Once again Kim’s placenta has grown into her uterine wall ; she’s suffering from pre-eclampsia; and the amount of stress she’s under is reportedly causing sleep and dietary issues. Naturally, millions have expressed their concerns on social media, but now, sources close to Kim are telling Radar Online that they believe she’s faking her health issues in order to drum up publicity. “Kim was just talking with a group of friends about her pregnancy and she said everything is going really well,” one source tells the website. “She didn’t say anything about a crisis pregnancy. Some people think she could be exaggerating the situation to the public for drama.” View Slideshow: Kim Kardashian Pregnant Pics: Big Bump! Even Bigger Boobs! One insider even went so far as to joke, “If she does get an early C-section it is because she doesn’t want to gain any more weight this time.” Hollywood OB/GYN Dr. Jim Betoni also spoke with Radar, and he says that while the risks seem real based on Kim’s descriptions, he’s confident that she’s receiving the best medical care – and both mother and son will be just fine. “She has risk factors but there are things that are now watched closer,” he says. “So at least you come in prepared.” Bottom line: Kim’s delivery may not be the smoothest on record, but you should spend this holiday weekend focused on the turkey in your oven, not the bun in hers.

Khloe Kardashian has put the kibosh on her book tour. The reality star made this announcement herself on Wednesday afternoon, Tweeting that she’s sick and under doctor’s orders to take it easy. “I’ll be going for more testing today. I’m very sorry again,” Khloe wrote. “Stress can run our bodies down so please everyone take care of yourselves.” She’s right. Stress can definitely play a role in one’s health. She isn’t lying, either: According to multiple sources, Kardashian really is sick. But there’s a bit more to the story. TMZ reports that Kardashian contracted a staph infection as a result of being so often by Lamar Odom’s bedside at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. The former basketball star has been a patient there for over a month now, ever since he fell unconscious at a brothel in Las Vegas. Khloe has essentially dropped everything to be there for her estranged husband. However, Khloe’s memoir (“Strong Looks Better Naked”) came out on November 6 and she had agreed to go on a book tour as part of its promotion. But TMZ says this is no longer possible because Khloe has a painful lesion on her leg. She has also developed a high fever and swollen glands. “It’s so scary. She’s so sick,” a source tells the website. View Slideshow: Khloe Kardashian Memoir: 6 Things We Learned However, a rep for the star tells Gossip Cop that things are not nearly this dire: “She is getting treatment and will be OK,” says this spokesperson, adding that Khloe “just needs to rest and get it treated.” Let’s hope this doesn’t have a negative effect on the round butt Khloe has worked so hard to get. We kid. We really do hope she’s feeling better soon. View Slideshow: 17 Kontroversial Khloe Kardashian Photos
Kylie Jenner has opened way up about her love life in a new blog post on her official website. Kind of. Sort of. Not really, actually. The 18-year old, who everyone knows is dating Tyga and who is unafraid to kiss her boyfriend in public , writes that it’s challenging to date as a celebrity. “Living in the spotlight, people think they know everything about me – but they don’t,” Jenner says. “I’ve never believed in the idea of the public knowing everything about my relationship and every time I break up and make up.” That would typically be a fair statement; celebrities are certainly entitled to their privacy. But Jenner and her fellow family members share photos on Facebook and Instagram like it’s their only job. They let cameras into their homes. They blog. They Tweet. They rarely wear clothing. This makes it a bit more difficult for them to play the privacy card whenever they see fit. But it is true that Kylie often smooches Tyga on Snapchat, yet rarely talks about him on the press or hangs with him on Keeping Up with the Kardashians . “I’m not afraid to show who I’m dating, but I’m also not about to talk about every little detail of my relationship,” she explains. “Everyone who knows me, knows I’ve always been a relationship girl. I’ve never believed in the idea of casual dating or being with two people at once. “I feel like I only have room for one person in my heart and I want to give whoever I’m with all the attention they deserve.” Like with any famous couple, there are constant rumors surrounding Kylie and Tyga, such as talk that he may be cheating and she may be having him followed . How does Jenner feel about this chatter? “It’s hard to see all that gets completely made up about me,” she shares in the post. “I really try not to let it bother me and I certainly don’t feel like I need to correct every little lie out there, but at the same time, I just hate giving people the satisfaction of being able to make things up about someone they don’t know anything about!” View Slideshow: Kylie Jenner and Tyga Photos: Kyga 4-Eva?
