Michael Lohan -- Out of the Hospital
Michael Lohan is out of a Massachusetts hospital after a medical scare last night -- but he's not out of the woods yet.

His girlfriend, Kate Major, tells TMZ Lohan wants to be checked out by doctors in New York. He is scheduled to see a cardiologist this week.
Major says Lohan has been very conscious of his health lately -- watching what he eats and exercising -- but he's had heart attacks before.
Lohan had to be replaced in his celebrity boxing bout last night against Todd Poulton -- we don't know who he is either.

Whitney Houston -- A Hot Mess in Australia
In a performance that can only be described as rocky at best, a sweat-drenched Whitney Houston attempted to sing her hit "I Will Always Love You" during a concert Monday night in Australia.
Whitney's weirdness reaches its peak right before she's supposed to hit the high note -- when she suddenly turns around, walks over to a table behind her, and then spends an excessive amount of time gearing up for the big finish.
When Whitney finally gets ready, she comes back to the mic and belts out the chorus to the song ... and let's just say she gets an E for Effort.

Lil Wayne Eight Root Canals in One Sitting
Lil Wayne just had one of the gnarliest oral surgeries in the history of dentistry. We're told it was a marathon session that included a stomach-turning eight root canals at one time.
Our sources say Wayne went under the drill on Tuesday.
We're told during the eight hour procedure, Wayne had his grill worked on, several tooth implants redone, more implants added and had the few real teeth he had left repaired.
This is the critical dental surgery that kept Wayne from being shipped off to the big house last week.
The judge allowed the rapper to put his sentence for felony attempted gun possession on hold until March 2 -- enough time for Wayne to get his mouth prison-ready.
If that's even possible.
