Toni Braxton -- Un-break My Heart Attack?

Singer Toni Braxton has been admitted to a Vegas hospital -- breathe again!

We hear Braxton was admitted to St. Rose Dominican Hospital late last night after her show at the Flamingo Hotel and Casino. FOX 5 in Vegas reports the diva is in good condition.

A spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, Braxton suffers from pericarditis, an inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart. She learned she had the condition after the birth of her second son.

Braxton has been headlining a Las Vegas show at the hotel since 2006. Tomorrow's show could be canceled, but that won't be confirmed until this afternoon. Today was a scheduled off day.

UPDATE: A spokesperson for the Flamingo tells TMZ that Toni had been experiencing chest pains and was taken to a local hospital for tests. She's since been released. They're hoping she'll be back on stage by the end of the week. She bettah work!

32. Come on TMZ!
Whats up with that Headline? You ever notice that the jounalists on TV just report the news, nothing more, nothing less? You should follow that example and give us just celeb gossip & news, that way you will continue to have the top spot.... nothing more, nothing less. Because stalking Celebs and Stunts like the one above will have people going elsewhere for Celeb gossip. SERIOUSLY. Feel better Toni.

33. Good Headliness generate as much press as bad Headlines and then Bad eadlines -let's see-why yes they draw more press.
Kinda of too late to change the world. "Toni Braxton Goes to Doctor for checkup" = 100 views, "Toni Braxton Goes to Doctor for Heart Problems" =1000000 views hmmmmm. Sometimes when we make light of something it becomes less heavy--I agree somethings should be off limits but we are diverse in our funnybones. Its only funny stufft and Comedy people with no malicious intent. Pull out your wedgies geez!!

34. WOW. This has officially become the worst website ever, and I refuse to further help you along by coming here any more. Hopefully one day you'll find some class, and find something to do in life that makes you proud, instead of...spending your time watching celebrities...spend their time. Life is short, and you use yours reporting on the daily events of others, from the mundane to the 'really nobody's business'. Tacky. I can't believe I stuck around her so long...ugh, the brain cells I'll never get back...

35. Hey Harvey, about 500,000 people will die this year from coronary related deaths, hopefully one of those people won't be anyone you care about, because if it does happen, your tasteless headline will come back to haunt you. You have already alienated hundreds of your readers, change the headline so you don't alienate hundreds more, if it's left on it means you just don't give a crap.

38. Geez people get a life and stop worrying about a stupid headline. Don't you have anything better to do then rag on TMZ for their "lack of class" They are a gossip column. Get over it.

39. I also would like to know if there is a better gossip website? I hate not being able to enjoy reading the comments and articles on TMZ. Some are so tasteless! But, I love passing some lunch time reading the star updates. Just wish I knew a better website.

40. #39, that is true. They are a gossip column but you still can do it with some class and taste. Even tabloids like The National Enquire and Star (which are also gossip type deals) wouldn't put a headline like that. A headline like that is insensative, rude and very sophmoric. Makes me wonder if the guys and gals running this site are grown or a bunch of 12 year olds.

41. Sorry, the comment was directed at #38.

42. What a tacky, over the top, low, ignorant assed headline TMZ! Surely you bunch of tards can do better. You showed more respect for that dimwitted twit (britney) than you did for someone like Toni who has her act together...I'll be sure to comment to the radio station that sent this link to me, and ask them not to send me any more JUNK!

44. Nice titel TMZ! Would you have allowed this to print if she were WHITE? Lets remember that Toni is a mother, a wife and a person. A beautiful BLACK woman at that. Lets show some compassion TMZ, I know you can do it, I've seen you do it for the WHITE people
