winona-ryder Winona Ryder Overdosed on Possibly Xanax

According to a report by the Sun, Winona Ryder (37), had to have her stomach pumped at a West London hospital, after she collapsed twice on a British Airlines jet yesterday. She was discharged last night. A passenger reported Winona turned deathly white when she passed out saying "It was scary."

Winona collapsed twice in first class on a 10 hour flight from Los Angeles to Heathrow airport. The captain of the jet requested a "priority landing." British Airways said last night: “Our passenger services staff went with her to hospital. We wish her well.”

While it hasn’t been confirmed, according to the report, it is believed that Winona took too many Xanax pills to calm her fear of flying. Xanax is a prescription anti-anxiety medication.

Over the weekend James Cromwell (68) suffered a broken collarbone and a partially deflated lung, according to a statement released Monday by publicist Nancy Seltzer. Cromwell is a serious cyclist who was training on a Los Angeles-area canyon road Sunday when he fell from the bike. OUCH! He was released from the Hospital on Monday.

Cromwell should be well enough to complete his work schedule on the new TV drama My Own Worst Enemy.

Jayden James Federline Rushed to the Hospital

On Sunday Jayden James Federline had to be rushed to the emergency room after becoming “unresponsive.” Jayden was on a family trip with Britney Spears Kentwood in Louisiana at the time. A source said:

“One minute Britney and her sons were relaxing and enjoying their first visit to Kentwood in months, and the next minute Jayden had fallen ill. He was vague and unresponsive so Britney dialled an ambulance. But she was told it would take half an hour to arrive, and she was best trying to get Jayden to the hospital herself. They tore off so fast it was incredible.”

The trip was the first time Britney has been allowed to take her sons out of Los Angeles since Kevin was given custody. Kevin Federline is flying to Louisiana to be with his son.

A source says Jayden had a seizure at about 3 pm on Sunday. It’s possible that Jayden may have had seizures before, but perhaps Kevin didn’t mention it to Britney.

The Mayo clinic did a study on children with seizures, and found that a high fat diet, low in saturated fat, but high is healthy fats, helped substantially decrease seizures without medication. The high fat diet was able to be discontinued when the child reached school age in most cases. It appeared the nerves in the brain and spinal cord needed the extra fat to form the insulating sheath found around some nerves. Maybe this could help Jayden.

UPDATE: Britney Spears gave an official statement on her website:

"Jayden James Federline was admitted to the Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center on Sunday, November 9th. Doctors concluded he had a reaction to something he ingested. He is expected to be discharged tomorrow."

Jayden didn’t have a seizure. We’re still not sure if Jayden had a tummy ache, or an allergic reaction to the food he ate.
