TMZ has learned Kevin Costner was rushed to the hospital Tuesday.
It happened in Hollywood, at around 10 AM. We're told Costner was driving to a meeting when he began feeling ill and lightheaded -- so bad he pulled over and called 911. As he waited for paramedics, we're told Costner began vomiting.
Costner was taken by ambulance to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where he was held overnight for tests. We're told the tests were normal and he was released yesterday.
31. I am so sick and tired of these mega-rich celebrities running to the hospital for every little thing. I have health insurance but when I was dog sick with the pukes and poops, did I go to the freaking hospital?? No! I puked and pooped 'til I felt better (I know, too much information). No wonder healthcare is so damn expensive. I have friends and relatives who go to the doctor for every little symptom, have expensive tests and the doctor says there is nothing wrong with them. I'll be damned, those same relatives , will go again in a few months, only to hear that nothing is wrong. A few people (l00 million) ruin it for the rest of us. Common sense people.

35. I wish I could say I am surprised by all the stupid comments here, but I'd be lying. For you medical geniuses without a medical degree, if he becomes so debilitated while driving that he is lightheaded and vomiting, he is supposed to call for aid. Many people dismiss such symptoms only to find out that they have something far worse than stomach flu. (A heart attack, among other things, can present themselves of something relatively minor.) Better safe than sorry. If you must criticize, criticze TMZ for running such a story. Sadly, they take a little too much joy in the misery of others. (Ever see their little TV show? Once was enough for me.)

37. I'm appreciating the irony here. I just had a conversation with my granddaughter about kindness to others, then go online and read all these disgusting comments. You people with your ugly comments might be happier if you committed some random acts of kindness. Either that or just shut up. I learned that in junior high schoo. Best Wishes, Mr. Costner.

38. Sure are a lot of mean spirited hump-tards on this site making negative comments!! I suppose most of them have a medical degree and can make an ac curate diagnosis far removed from the scene of the call for help. WHAT A BUNCH OF LAME LOSERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

39. I had similar lightheaded and barfed...thot it was the flu and just went to bed. 6 days later a neighber came by, looked at me, and took me to hospital. I had a abcess on my pelvic and went to surgery at 3 AM that day. Spent 20 days in the hospital. Doctors told me I waited too long, almost fatal. You never know what is going on in your body. See a doctor!!!

41. I think it is really sad that people find humor in someones illness. As a paramedic Ive seen it all. Vomiting can be the symptom of alot of things. I hope that all of you that have made fun, will never have to experience anything that I have seen that started with vomiting. God bless you Mr. Costner. Hope you get well soon.

45. Well,it's like this. We all can get the stomach virus.. The stars are no different from us.. And we can all throw up. Poor guy, I know the feeling. This too shall pass, Kevin. Stay in bed. Keep trash can next to bed. Drink ginger ale. And get your woman to rub your head... that way she will get it too.. Your old friend in Myrtle Beach, Carolyn
