OUCH. This looks (and sounds) excruciatingly painful. Yesterday, we reported that Jodie Sweetin was rushed to the hospital . The actress was rehearsing a routine for Dancing With the Stars when she suffered an injury to her foot. Today, video was released of the move Sweetin was attempting when things went awry, and her pain is absolutely palpable. The Fuller House star is seen letting out a piercing scream and cries out after collapsing on the floor. She and her partner, Keo Motsepe, were recreating a dance move once executed by Pink for the upcoming DWTS episode “Famous Dances Night.” As part of the act, Sweetin attempts to balance all of Motsepe's weight on her legs and torso. Unfortunately, she pushed her body too hard and she toppled backwards onto the floor with her partner on top of her. Yesterday, Sweetin's rep confirmed that she was in the hospital and being treated for an injury to her left foot. “Earlier today, Jodie Sweetin injured her left foot during rehearsals for Dancing with the Stars ,” her spokesperson said in a statement. “She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital and she is awaiting her official diagnosis,” the rep added. “She is in good spirits while she waits and Keo, along with her fiancee Justin Hodak, are by her side.” So far, Sweetin has not commented on her condition, but she did express her grief about the death of Prince . “Wow. I cried today when I heard,” she wrote yesterday alongside a photo of the Purple One on Instagram. “He was my all time favorite,” she added. We still have not heard news on an official diagnosis or if Sweetin will be able to return to perform on next week's DWTS . Watch the cringe-worthy rehearsal below.
Today, music legend and eccentric pop culture icon Prince died at age 57 . While police are still investigating the cause of his death, TMZ has obtained the audio recording of the 911 call made after he was found dead at his Paisley Park compound in his native Minnesota. In the emergency dispatch call, an operator is heard confirming a “male down, not breathing” at Prince's address. According to TMZ, the singer was found unconscious in an elevator in his home. Paramedics attempted CPR, but were unable to revive him. Prince was pronounced dead on the scene at 10:07 a.m., central time. Last week, after a concert in Atlanta, the singer was rushed to the hospital after his plane made an emergency landing in Illinois. Reps for Prince informed media he was battling a bad case of the flu, and that he had been treated and was back on the plane bound for home within three hours. The “Purple Rain” megastar performed a concert the next day and assured fans he was fine. Now, fans are wondering if there may have been a deeper issue that the notoriously private celebrity was hiding. Some have speculated that he knew his death was pending, as he began penning his memoirs last month and made a eerie comment during a party at Paisley Park last weekend. “Wait a few days before you waste any prayers,” he told attendees. Listen to the 911 call below:
Earlier this week, Michael Strahan made headlines when he announced that he was leaving Live! With Kelly and Michael for Good Morning America . But it was his co-host Kelly Ripa who really got the media buzzing when she pulled a no-show on Live! Wednesday morning amid reports that she was enraged at the way the announcement was handled. Sources said Ripa was kept in the dark and informed of Strahan’s departure about the same time the news was made public. The New York Times conferred with a source who has spoken with the Live! star and released details about the meeting in which Ripa was told about Strahan’s promotion to GMA. After the show wrapped Tuesday morning, Ripa was called into a meeting with the show’s producer Michael Gelman and WABC general manager Dave Davis, but did not know the purpose of the meeting. After being kept waiting for 20 minutes, Strahan entered the room and told her he was leaving Live! for GMA , and Ripa instantly became irate. “Didn’t I tell you this was going to happen?” Ripa said to Davis at the meeting. “I told you two years ago this was going to happen.” According to the source, Ripa is angry because she thinks the network is neglecting Live! and giving priority to GMA , which has recently been slipping in the ratings. The announcement of Strahan’s move was made public just minutes after the meeting ended. Ripa will very likely return to her hosting position after she returns from a vacation in the Turks and Caicos Islands , where she is celebrating her 20th wedding anniversary with her family – and hopefully blowing off some steam as well.

Today, fans are mourning the shocking death of Prince , the visionary music legend who brought us unforgettable hits like “Kiss,” “1999” and “When Doves Cry.” The singer was found dead in his Minnesota home, just one week after his plane made an emergency landing to treat what representatives later said was the flu . However, Matt Fink, who played keyboards in Prince’s band The Revolution in the 80s, tells Radar Online that he believes Prince had more health problems than he had let on. “I can’t believe it was flu related,” Fink said, referring to last week’s incident. “At that time, I speculated it was not good,” he added. “But I was glad he was well. I assumed he was fine, that he was healing.” View Slideshow: Prince: Stars React to the Death of Iconic Singer In 2009, Prince revealed that he had been born with epilepsy and suffered seizures when he was a child. However, Fink said his friend never mentioned it to him. “He never discussed it. He brought that up much later after the band.” Fink said Prince had disclosed a separate health condition, but didn’t reveal any details about it. “He told me he had a heart murmur as well,” he claimed. “But we never discussed it.” “We’re in major shock right now,” he concluded. “It’s very difficult to express how we (the members of the band) feel. It’s a tough time.” At the time of this writing, the cause of death for the artist is still unknown. View Slideshow: Prince: Remembering the Music Legend’s Life In Photos
In a troubling report released by TMZ, sources claim that Prince had been treated for a drug overdose just six days before his untimely death this morning. As we reported last week, the singer had been rushed to the hospital following an emergency plane landing. He was reportedly feeling unwell while flying home after a concert in Atlanta. A representative for Prince claimed the music icon had been battling the flu for weeks, but was doing fine after doctors treated him for symptoms. Multiple sources now say the artist was administered a “save shot,” which is typically given to counter the effects of opiate drugs such as heroin, oxycontin or morphine. At the time, doctors had advised Prince to remain in the hospital for 24 hours, but he ultimately decided to leave when he couldn’t secure a private room at the facility, according to the site. View Slideshow: Prince: Remembering the Music Legend’s Life In Photos He was released three hours later and flew home, which was just a 48-minute flight away. Sources reported that when Prince left the hospital, he “was not doing well.” Prince was found dead in his Minnesota home this morning. Paramedics performed CPR, but were unable to revive him. Earlier today, Prince’s former band mate Matt Fink confessed that he thought the flu excuse was bogus, and that there may have been an underlying health problem we didn’t know about. The cause of death is currently being investigated. View Slideshow: Prince: Stars React to the Death of Iconic Singer
If you're in the middle of dinner, you may want to set it aside while you read this. A man who spent more than $500,000 in plastic surgery to look like a Ken doll (no, not Justin Jedlica ) is in the hospital due to complications from a nose job, which is severely threatening his health. Rodrigo Alves, who has undergone 42 elective surgeries to emulate Barbie's boyfriend, has treated his body like a madcap lab experiment and it is now rejecting his new nose . “I had nose reconstruction three months ago and it appears the new cartilage has been rejected by my body,” he said, according to Daily Mail . He calls his situation “frightening” and says that he can't breathe because of a blockage caused by the infection. 'A horrible hole has appeared in my nostril and the infection is eating my nose and I've been warned if it is not stopped it could eat into my face,” said Alves. He is suffering from necrosis, a condition in which the flesh basically dies. If the infection escalates, it could turn to gangrene and he could face losing his nose. The 32-year-old is originally from Brazil, but now lives in London. He was traveling in Spain when he noticed the hole in his nose and wound up in the hospital in Malaga. Alves addressed his calamity on Instagram with the following message: “It is very unfortunate that it has happen but like I always say like with any surgery there is a risk …At least I get in trouble on my own expenses and I don't blame my doctors or anyone else.. “[Sh*t] happens and I just have to be strong. #chinup and wait few more months until I can have another rhinoplasty only because #ican “I know now you think wow this Rodrigo guy is crazy … No I m not crazy just got big balls personality and I know what I want and I go for it simple as that.”
