Andrew Lloyd Webber was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fortunately, doctors found the cancer early, so he’ll take a break from his sequel to Phantom of the Opera for treatment, then return to work.

Men should get a PSA blood test every year after the age of 40, some say 50, but I say 40. Better safe than dead.

David Hasselhoff was in London to attend a birthday party for Simon Cowell over the weekend. The Hoff was staying at the five-star St Martins Lane Hotel where he partied night and day for days. Finally a doctor was called, who The Hoff allegedly hit, so they locked him in the basement before calling an ambulance. The Sun reports:

A source close to the star said: "David is very hard to handle when he drinks, often very emotional and aggressive."

"On this occasion he became so drunk he wet his hotel bed – ruining two mattresses – and was becoming a real pain for staff.

"His assistant Joe Townley was so concerned he called out a doctor.

"David was furious and lashed out at him – but mistakenly hit the doctor.

"They decided they had no option but to lock him in the basement until an ambulance arrived."

Hotel guest Maria Weston, 44, told how she saw Hasselhoff swearing in the bar.

She said: "He was abusing all the staff, shouting at everyone. We were shocked – you’d think he was just some drunk, not a big star."

Looks like the Dave stopped taking the anti-drinking pills. What do you do when a grown man wants to drink himself to death? Dave needs help, but he is the only one that can help him.

On Sunday reports said David Hasselhoff was hospitalized with alcohol poisoning after he was drinking all day, and his daughter called 911. This is believable because the Hoff has been hospitalized with alcohol poisoning 5 times in the past few years.

Yesterday the Hoff said he wasn’t drinking, he was very dizzy from an ear infection, and so an ambulance was called.

The Hoff says he is taking Antabuse to help keep him from drinking, and was taking Antivert to help him with his dizziness before he finally got an ambulance to take him to the hospital.

Symptoms of a Antabuse overdose include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of coordination, numbness and tingling, and seizures, so it is possible that the Hoff was taking too much Antabuse that could have caused his symptoms, unless it was confirmed that he truly does have an ear infection. I’m going to believe the Hoff this time, but he still needs to watch himself closely, because he is a raging alcoholic.

Kristin Chenoweth won an Emmy Award for her role in Pushing Daisies, but backstage at the Nokia Theater suddenly got a migraine headache so bad she could barely open her eyes. Kristin tweeted on Twitter:

"sometimes the aura of a migraine. im warding it off w meds then gonna hit the town! thx 4 ur love n well wishes!!!"

After paramedics looked Kristin over she recovered enough to hit do some Emmy partying afterwards.

Melanie Griffith (52) is back in rehab once again with her rep, Robin Baum, saying:

"She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago."

According to Star magazine sources, husband Antonio Banderas demanded she get help:

"The reason Melanie checked in was her husband was demanding that she get clean and sober. He told her that if she didn’t get the help she needed it would be the end of their marriage."

"Melanie’s struggling right now, but Antonio has been checking in on her as much as he is allowed, making sure she gets back on her feet. Without Antonio in her life, I honestly believe Melanie would be dead."

People don’t make trips to rehab as if it’s a yearly check up.

Griffith was in a facility in Minnesota in 1988 to battle alcoholism and cocaine addiction after shooting her Oscar-nominated role in Working Girl, and sought treatment in 2000 at Daniel Freeman Hospital in Marina Del Rey, California, for an addiction to painkillers, which she started abusing after suffering a neck injury.

Chronic (constant) pain can make a person desperate for relief.

We hope Griffith is able to beat back her addictions once again. Her body is taking a beating on the aging front.
