Zsa Zsa Gabor Rushed Back to the Hospital

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed to a hospital Wednesday in an ambulance when blood flow stopped to her leg, a publicist said.

Doctors ordered the ailing 94-year-old actress to go to UCLA Medical Center because of the problem with her left leg, publicist John Blanchette said.

Most of Gabor’s right leg was amputated in January because of gangrene.

Gabor broke her hip and had replacement surgery in July. She has been hospitalized several times since then for swelling, clots and infections.

She celebrated her birthday at home on Feb. 6 and watched the Oscars Sunday with her husband.

The actress is partially paralyzed from a 2002 car accident and now uses a wheelchair.

Gabor, a native of Hungary, appeared in films ranging from “Moulin Rouge” in 1952 to “Queen of Outer Space” in 1958. She also appeared on TV specials and game shows, and as a guest on several television series, often playing herself.

Zsa Zsa Gabor Returns to the Hospital

Zsa Zsa hasn’t been doing all that well lately. As you know, she recently returned home from the hospital after a partial leg amputation. Today however, Zsa Zsa Gabor’s publicist issued a statement that the actress has been returned to the hospital after spitting up blood.

John Blanchette, her publicist, said that just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday, doctors told Gabor’s husband, Frederic Prinz von Anhalt, that she was bleeding internally and he should call an ambulance.
Blanchette says the 93-year-old actress didn’t recognize her doctor or her husband on Sunday.

We wish Zsa Zsa the best, and hope she finds relief from all her ailments soon.

Zsa Zsa Amputated, Etta James Gravely Ill, Martha Gets Stitched

News on the celebrity front:

Zsa Zsa Gabor’s Right Leg Successfully Amputated

According to the Associated Press, Doctors in Los Angeles say they have successfully amputated most of Zsa Zsa Gabor’s right leg. They say Friday’s surgery at the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center was successful and the 93-year-old “Moulin Rouge” and “Queen of Outer Space” star is recovering. Gabor turns 94 on Feb 6.

Gabor had an infection in her leg for several months and doctors tried using antibiotics to save the leg. She was hospitalized Jan. 2.

Publicist John Blanchette says the wound wouldn’t heal, making the surgery necessary.

Our thoughts go out to one of the original Diva’s of our time.

Etta James in Grave Condition

According to her Dr. and husband, R&B singer Etta James is gravely ill, and suffering from Leukemia and Dementia. Her husband of 41 years is seeking a California court order to control more than $1 million of her money. Beverly Hills Dr. Elaine James, who isn’t related, says in court documents that the singer cannot sign her name and she needs help with feeding, dressing and hygiene.

The 72-year-old singer is best known for the 1961 hit “At Last.”

She earlier gave power of attorney to sons Donto James and Sametto James, and Donto’s wife Christy, in February 2008. Mills is challenging the power of attorney.

Again, we send our thoughts and prayers to the famed singer.

Martha Stewert Gets Stiched Up

According to the Associated Press, “Martha Stewart isn’t likely to whisper sweet nothings into her dozing dog’s ear anytime again soon.

The 69-year-old lifestyle guru wrote on her blog Thursday that she needed stitches after startling her dog Francesca while leaning down to “whisper goodbye.” The dog jumped up and rammed into Stewart.

She writes that she “felt a bit of whiplash as blood gushed” from her split lip Tuesday night.

She initially called police to ask for a ride to the hospital but realized her driver was waiting to drive her from her home in the suburbs to New York City for a “Today” show appearance.

Stewart landed in the Northern Westchester Hospital emergency room and received stitches in her upper lip.

She posted photos of the mishap on her blog.”
