Evangelist Billy Graham being treated in North Carolina hospital for bronchitis
Evangelist Billy Graham is being treated at a North Carolina hospital for bronchitis, officials said Sunday. Graham, 93, was admitted overnight to Mission Hospital in Asheville, N.C., near his home in Montreat, for evaluation and treatment of a pulmonary infection. He was resting comfortably Sunday and his condition was stable, the hospital said in a statement. David Pucci, the pulmonologist treating Graham, said earlier that Graham was being given antibiotics. "This morning, Mr. Graham watched his grandson, Will Graham, on television preaching at First Baptist Church of Spartanburg, S.C. Later, he enjoyed a visit from his daughter, Gigi, and one of his grandchildren. They ate lunch together and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon," Graham's spokesman, A. Larry Ross, said in a statement. Graham was previously hospitalized for successful treatment of pneumonia in November. He resumed his ongoing program of physical therapy and normal activity shortly after his release, according to his staff. Graham was expected to remain in the hospital for several days, Ross said. No date has been set for discharge.

The Miami Dolphins have released veteran receiver Chad Johnson. Johnson, who was arrested Saturday after his wife accused him of head-butting her during an argument in front of their Florida home, was trying to revive his career with the Dolphins. The two hadn't been married for two months yet, having tied the knot on July 4. Johnson, 34, was released from jail Sunday on $2,500 bond. The veteran wide receiver had only 15 receptions last season and one touchdown for the New England Patriots. Johnson was charged with simple domestic battery, a misdemeanor. Johnson was released from jail as the Dolphins took the field for Sunday's practice. After the workout, coach Joe Philbin said he would meet soon with Johnson. We're going to deal with this," Philbin told the Associated Press. "We're not going to waste time. ... We're all in this thing together. Everybody that sets foot in this building, we're all held to a high standard." Johnson's defense attorney, Adam Swickle, told the AP a no-contact order has been issued that prevents Johnson from contacting Lozada. Swickle declined to comment further. If convicted, Johnson faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a $1,000 fine. He could also receive community service, probation or anger management classes. Johnson and Lozada were prominent in the recent first episode of HBO's "Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Miami Dolphins."

Jennifer Aniston is getting married to boyfriend Justin Theroux! "Justin Theroux had an amazing birthday on Friday, receiving an extraordinary gift when his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, accepted his proposal of marriage," his rep confirmed. Aniston, 43, and Theroux, 41, an actor-screenwriter, have been dating for more than a year. The couple – who both starred in Wanderlust – were first spotted together in May 2011. Amy Winehouse's ex-husband Overdosed After Reading Her Texts
Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil embarked on a deadly drink and drug binge after reading text messages his ex-wife sent him while he was in prison, according to his mother. The 30-year-old was hospitalized earlier this month after his girlfriend found him in bed choking on his own vomit and he is currently fighting for his life in a medically-induced coma. Fielder-Civil was in prison when his ex-wife died of alcohol poisoning last year, serving out a sentence for burglary and possessing an imitation firearm, and he was released two weeks ago. His mother, Georgette, has now revealed that Fielder-Civil recently found a number of previously unread text messages which Winehouse sent him before her death and the messages left him overcome with grief. Georgette claims Winehouse asked if she could be godmother to Fielder-Civil's son Jack, now 15 months, who was born to another woman after their split. She claims, "He had messages on his phone from Amy which he only got recently. He didn't have the phone in prison and he picked up messages from her when he was released. She said she wanted to be Jack's godmother. The grief for Amy started again. I fear he may have been trying to take his own life... If he pulls through it may be two months before he is discharged. The worrying thing is if he then goes back to his substance misuse. Next time he won't make it, there is no doubt about that."

50 Cent has never been a fan of rival rapper Kanye West -- and he doesn't think much of his girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, either. In an interview with hip-hop mag XXL, Fiddy is asked about the inspiration for Kanye's song "Perfect B****." "If that man feel like she perfect, then she's perfect," he begins diplomatically. "He could mean it and you'll end up singing the words to it because he's Kanye," continues the "In da Club" singer. "You know how it is? One man's trash is another man's treasure."
After more than two decades on The Bold and the Beautiful, Ronn Moss is leaving the CBS soap where he’s played fashion magnate Ridge Forrester since the show’s 1987 inception. The exact details are unclear, but an insider says that Moss elected not to renew his contract over salary issues. Moss could not be reached for comment. Production company Bell Phillip Television confirmed the exit. “Ronn has spent an amazing 25 years with B&B,” a rep for Bell Phillip said in a statement. “We will always consider him family, and we wish him only the best in all of his future endeavors.” Moss was one of the so-called “core four” on Bold, referring to the foursome of original actors still on the show, including Susan Flannery as Stephanie Forrester, John McCook as Eric Forrester, and Katherine Kelly Lang as Brooke Logan. Moss will shoot his final scenes for The Bold and the Beautiful this Tuesday, Aug. 14, and his last episode will air on a yet-to-be-determined date in September. (As a bit of hope for you fans out there: Big soap stars can — and sometimes do — return after leaving.) It’s no secret that times have been tough for the genre lately, as just four daytime soaps — Bold, The Young and the Restless, Days of Our Lives, and General Hospital — remain on network television. Moss’ pay issue undoubtedly goes back to the stark reality that, as daytime viewers continue to choose alternatives like cable programming and talk shows, soap operas don’t attract the same kind of audience they once did. For the week ending Aug. 3, Bold drew 3.1 million viewers, putting it in second place behind genre leader The Young and the Restless. Still, Bold is considered to be the most profitable sudser in daytime because of its success internationally, with 26.2 million worldwide viewers. That huge international audience has made Moss a star around the world, exemplified by his second-place finish on Italy’s version of Dancing with the Stars in 2010 and an orange juice television advertisement in Australia, where he is particularly popular.TV NEWS

Ryan Lochte is in search of a wife -- or at least a dancing partner. Lochte told NBC's Matt Lauer on Friday's "Today" show that he wants to appear on "Dancing With the Stars" or "The Bachelor," two popular ABC reality shows. The Olympic swimmer, winner of five medals at this summer's London games, is looking to take some time off after his triumphs. He has already made a video for Will Ferrell's Funny or Die making light of his penchant for urinating in the pool, but the Rochester, N.Y.-native has grander ambitions. Moving to LA is his first priority, though it is unclear whether that will happen before or after the next Olympics. "I definitely want to move to LA, that's been a big goal of mine -- getting into fashion," said Lochte, who now lives in Florida. "That is my passion. When swimming is all said and done, I want to get into fashion and design my own clothing line."
