Tart-tongued comedian Joan Rivers was rushed to a Manhattan hospital Thursday morning after she stopped breathing during an operation, a family source told the Daily News.
“We are scared,” the source said. “This is not looking good. No big medical decisions will be made until (daughter) Melissa arrives.”
An assistant to the renowned 81-year-old comic was overheard saying that Rivers, who TMZ says is in critical condition, was inside Mount Sinai Medical Center after arriving a short time earlier.
“She’s not conscious, but she’s stable,” said an obviously distraught Graham Reed, the comedian’s assistant. Reed refused to provide any details when approached by a reporter
But the family source said friends were gathering Thursday inside Rivers’ apartment.
Joan Rivers' assistant, Graham Reed, is seen Thursday outside Mount Sinai Hospital, where the comedian was rushed after she stopped breathing during surgery at a clinic.
“She would want us all to laugh,” the source said. “But at the moment, we are all praying.”
Emergency medical help was dispatched to 201 E. 93rd St. at 9:40 a.m., with the patient in “cardiac and respiratory arrest” at the scene, the FDNY reported
Rivers was rushed to Mount Sinai Medical Center on Madison Ave. at 99th St.
The Brooklyn-born Rivers was reportedly undergoing surgery on her vocal cords at a clinic when the problem occurred, and she was quickly rushed to Mount Sinai, according to TMZ.com.
Rivers, 81, is a longtime Manhattan resident. She appeared in good shape Wednesday night for a performance at the Laurie Beechman Theater on W. 42nd St.
“She was incredible, sounded great,” said one fan who attended the gig.

Apparently Hello Kitty is a Human Girl, Not a Cat

The cat's out of the bag!
In a Los Angeles Times interview, Christine Yano, curator of an upcoming exhibit on Hello Kitty at the Japanese American National Museum in Los Angeles, said Sanrio considers its billion-dollar icon to be a human girl. As she put it:
“I was corrected — very firmly. That’s one correction Sanrio made for my script for the show. Hello Kitty is not a cat. She’s a cartoon character. She is a little girl. She is a friend. But she is not a cat. She’s never depicted on all fours. She walks and sits like a two-legged creature. She does have a pet cat of her own, however, and it’s called Charmmy Kitty.”
Cue the collective—and understandable—”What?!?!?!” on social media.
Sanrio indeed confirmed the news and also pointed us to Hello Kitty’s official bio:
As tall as five apples, and as heavy as three, Hello Kitty is a bright little girl with a heart of gold. She loves to bake cookies and play the piano, and dreams of one day becoming a pianist or maybe even a poet. She has a gift for music and English, and a soft spot for Mama’s apple pie. Hello Kitty and her twin sister Mimmy are the best of friends.

Leaving an Audacious Impression
Image courtesy of www.magnetmagazine.com
Boorish Actor (BA) is at it again! Since he started his career, BA has always been the subject of rumors of his rudeness. While BA never addressed these rumors earlier, his actions in several occasions with fans and even towards a showbiz insider that were caught on camera had to be dealt with asap. Thus, there was no more denying that BA has some character problems, which might eventually cost him his career.
However, fans are still fond of BA, and disregard whatever people are telling about him until they meet him in person and get a dose of his disregard for fans. While senior stars stress that they are not where they are now if not for their fans, BA, has his own attitude towards fans.
A few days ago, BA was seen dining in a restaurant with some company that included his screen partner (SP). A fan, who was also dining with her family in the same place, politely approached and asked BA if she could have a photo with him. In a loud voice and sarcastic tone, BA replied, “Hindi puwede! Kumakain kami!” Shocked, the fan walked away and felt so bad as she did not deserve such rude treatment.
Now, people who saw what happened could not understand why BA could not even spend a few seconds to post for a photo with a fan, who was wearing a traditional Muslim outfit. What they could not understand is if BA has something against posing with Muslims or if he were in a bad mood at that time. At that point, BA should have at least shown good manners as someone had the guts to approach him. The restaurant is a bit pricey for the regular fans, and thus, people who dine are the ones who can afford to pay its high prices. Hence, the fan who approached him might not have been just anyone else. Regardless of the fan’s identity, BA was still rude. While BA might have wanted his privacy, a polite refusal would have been appreciated, instead of his crassness.
It’s just too bad that the network is not doing enough to address this bad attitude of BA towards his fans. Is BA too confident because his last movie with SP was a box office, and one of their films was actually praised by critics? In such a short time, BA is already drowning in a little glass of water, and still does not know how to deal with fans without a camera in front of him.
You can be strong and true to yourself without being rude or loud. – Paula Radcliffe

Advisory: Don't Stop When Someone Hits Your Car
Image courtesy of www.dwallc.com
Please be forewarned. Thieves and their kind are now into countless modus to get to their prey and steal from unsuspecting victims.
A parent from Xavier went home from his office. While driving, a car bumped him.
He got down to talk to the driver, then when he went back inside his car, there were already several men inside.
There he was tied and was brought somewhere. Hours later, at around four in the morning, he was told to call his family. Clearly, it was kidnap for ransom.
Kidnappers were asking for Php30Million!!
The camp of the victim tried to negotiate. The negotiator and the wife of the victim were in the safe house with the Philippine National Police (PNP) so they can be assisted and guided.
Bargaining for the 30Million ransom almost nil, as the kidnappers only agreed to lower it to less than Php29Million!
Victim's family went with anti-kidnapping crusader Teresita Ang - See to ask help from Sec. Abaya.
Warning to all: When somebody bumps your car or tries to distract you while you're driving, PLS. DON'T STOP!
