Comedian Gallagher Suffers Heart Attack and is Hospitalized

If anybody has ever seen the comic Gallagher live at a show you know you leave with banana, apple, watermelon and who knows what else all over your cloths.

But last night Gallagher suffered a heart attack just prior to his show at Coach Joe's Hat Tricks in Lewisville Texas and was rushed to a hospital somewhere in Texas.

A spokesperson for the comedian told reporters that Gallagher is still under sedation but is not releasing any official statement.

Nobody really knows how bad it is but this is not the first heart attack. A few years back he suffered a “mild” heart attack but quickly recovered.

You would think with all the years of swinging that Sledge-O-Matic that he would be in pretty good shape.

Hang in there Gallagher and get better soon!

Bill Clinton Hospitalized - Has Two Heart Stents Inserted

Word out of New York this evening is that ex President Bill Clinton was rushed to the hospital complaining of chest pains.

In 2004, Clinton underwent quadruple bypass surgery to unblock four arteries, some of which were almost 100% blocked, and has been monitored by some of the best doctors in the country ever since.

News reports indicate that Clinton, 63, complained of pain and breathing problems on Thursday and was admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital. Clinton had two stents inserted into his heart valves.

Stents are small wire mesh tubes inserted into heart arteries to unblock them and allow blood to flow freely. His wife, Hillary Clinton, was in route to New York from Washington D.C. to be by her husband.

A press release issued by the hospital said:

"Mr. Clinton is in good spirits and will continue to focus on the work of his foundation and Haiti's relief and long-term recovery efforts".

Michael Jackson Dead Of Heart Attack At Age 50 - Last Photo

Pop star Michael Jackson has died. He was 50 years old.

The singer was found unresponsive at his home in California Thursday afternoon. He was rushed to the UCLA medical center but could not be revived. A Los Angeles Fire Department source told reporters that Jackson was in full cardiac arrest when rescue units arrived on scene.

Aides told a doctor that Jackson collapsed after receiving a shot of the drug Demerol. His breathing grew weaker and weaker and suffered a heart attack. Police have opened an investigation into the arrest but stress they do not suspect criminal activity.

His mother, sister Janet Jackson, and other family members rushed to the hospital. This sad news comes the same day we learn that actress Farrah Fawcett has passed away.

Michael was best known for his signature moon walk, thriller video and album, the smash hit song Billy Jean, massive plastic surgery, and his encounters with law enforcement for suspected child molestation at his now famous Neverland Ranch.

Jackson was planning to appear in a sold-out series of concerts in London next month that would have run until March. Promoters of the concerts had recently said that the singer had passed a physical examination to remove any concerns about his health.

Michael is survived by his three younger children, Prince Michael Jackson, Paris Michael Katherine Jackson, and Prince Michael Jackson II.
