New father Jack Osbourne is facing a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
The former reality star and son of Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne revealed his health crisis in an interview with People magazine. He told the magazine he was angry and frustrated when he found out, and he’s concerned about his family.
Osbourne and his fiancée Lisa Stelly had daughter Pearl in April.
Multiple sclerosis attacks the brain and spinal cord, and can cause somewhat mild problems or serious disability, such as paralysis.
Jack Osbourne gained fame as a teen when his heavy metal father and his mother allowed the family to be profiled in the MTV reality show “The Osbournes.”#jackosbourne
She also needs the room to be draped in special fabric (how special the magazine doesn’t make clear) and wants her hotel rooms to look and feel her home.
“She requires all furniture be removed from the rooms and replaced with her own pieces that she has shipped in,” a source told the magazine.
“Madonna has probably the longest list of requirements of any of the world’s music stars,” an unnamed source told The Daily Star (via The Daily Mail). “She expects things to be just right or it puts her off her stage show.”
Failure to meet her demands will result in an unhappy Madonna. You don’t want to make Madonna angry – look at her biceps.
Personally, I find these “celebrity insider leaks” to be somewhat ridiculous. If you work in the tour industry – you know every major artist has a list of dressing room requirements and you also know that their production team pads ‘the star’s list’ to make sure you get everything you asked to put on a great show in any city you’re traveling too. In my opinion, Madonna’s dressing room requirements probably also entail the entire production team’s list of requirements. Secondly, most local staff love to make ‘stars’ feel at home so they literally, beg you (as a tour manager) to supply them with a list of personal preferences like flowers, fabrics, etc. If you don’t, they look in celebrity magazines for your star’s likes and dislikes. Finally, most of the time these local venues don’t supply what’s on the list anyway (!) so you have travel with it yourself.
Whether you agree or not, you can take a note from Madonna’s book and improve your diabetes self-care. BE PREPARED when you’re away from home. Her list might be seem ‘over the top’ but yours doesn’t have to be. You can easily add a glucose meter, glucose tablets, medical information and water to your purse or bag to make sure you’re performing at your best. Be a diva if you’re living with diabetes and plan ahead.
Jake Gyllenhaal will star in Nick Payne’s comic drama If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet with Tony winner Brían F. O’Byrne and Michelle Gomez. Directed by Michael Longhurst, the Roundabout Theatre Production will run off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre in August.
If There Is I Haven’t Found It Yet is the story of 15-year-old Anna, a natural target for bullies because of her weight. Her mom transfers Anna to the school where she teaches in order to protect her daughter, but the move only makes things worse. When Anna gets suspended for retaliating with a head-butt, her estranged uncle Terry (Gyllenhaal) arrives unannounced. A heartbroken drifter with the mouth of a sailor, Terry reaches out to Anna in a way no one ever has. Their unexpected friendship sends her parents’ rocky marriage into a tailspin as the whole family wonders what—or who—really needs saving?

Actor Stacey Keach is back on Broadway after suffering a stroke a few years back.
He tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper, “I can’t tell you how grateful I am and relieved. I feel deeply blessed.”
Recalling the events which led up to his stroke two years ago, Keach explains he felt “a little tingling” in his right arm during a performance of the play in Cincinnati, Ohio and it returned during the play’s first night in Los Angeles.
Keach says, “I quickly tried to focus and refocus.”
The actor knew he had a big problem when he found himself slurring his speech during a radio interview the following morning: “I realised I wasn’t making sense… I knew something wasn’t happening properly with my motor response.”
A doctor gave him a shot of vitamin B12 and Keach figured his health issues had passed as he appeared in five weekend performances and then hosted a cast get-together at his home in Calabasas, California.
The following morning he awoke with severe pain in his right arm, and his wife called the paramedics, who took him to hospital. After a series of tests he was told he’d suffered a series of minor strokes.
Keach insists the health scare has forced him to take better care of himself – he has vowed to stop smoking
Today, Stacey Keach is back on Broadway having just completed a run in Other Desert Cities with Stockard Channing, Rachel Grifiths, Judith Light and Justin Kirk.
In Other Desert Cities, Brooke Wyeth, a once promising novelist, returns home after a six-year absence to celebrate Christmas in Palm Springs with her parents, former members of the Reagan inner-circle, her brother and her aunt. When Brooke announces that she is about to publish a memoir focusing on an explosive chapter in the family’s history, the holiday reunion is thrown into turmoil and the Wyeths are both bound together and torn apart as they struggle to come to terms with their past.
