Thursday, November 1


 Cheers star George Wendt is hospitalized with chest pains and had to drop out of a production of The Odd Couple in Chicago. The actor "is getting medical attention and will eventually make a full recovery," Timothy Evans, executive director of the Northlight Theatre, says. Wendt, 64, who played beer-guzzling Norm Peterson on the popular sitcom, checked into the hospital on Sunday. He was to play Oscar Madison in the stage production starting Nov. 9. Wendt is a Chicago native and performed in the city's Second City comedy troupe.
 Evan Rachel Wood is a married woman! The actress, 25, tied the knot with actor Jamie Bell, 26, on Tuesday, a rep for Wood confirmed. "The bride wore a custom dress by Carolina Herrera," the rep says in a statement. "It was a small ceremony with close family and friends." Wood, rumored to be engaged to Bell since January, first dated him in 2005, after they both costarred in Green Day's "Wake Me Up When September Ends" music video. The pair got tattoos of each other's first initial. Since their first courtship, Wood went on to have a highly publicized romance with Marilyn Manson, to whom she was engaged in 2010, then reconnected with Bell.

 

Cee Lo Green accused of sexual assault

Cee Lo Green is maintaining his innocence after a Los Angeles woman filed a police report alleging that "The Voice" mentor and rapper assaulted her.  The unnamed woman filed a report that puts Green (real name: Thomas DeCarlo Callaway) at the center of a sexual battery investigation. Though details are scarce, police have visited an L.A. restaurant said to be connected to the case, and have interviewed several employees and the manager. No charges have been filed in the case, and it has not yet been referred to prosecutors.
  Chances are she hasn't been on the receiving end of an untoward forward pass, but Camilla Belle has apparently tackled a most eligible NFL bachelor. The  starlet, who previously dated onetime purity ring wearer Joe Jonas, is dating God-fearing New York Jets player Tim Tebow. Seems the twosome were spied cozying up on Tuesday night while bowling and hanging at a club in the footballer's hometown of Jacksonville, Fla. It's unclear how they met, although both posed on the red carpet last May at the Costume Institute Gala in New York (the Catholic-raised actress can even be seen in the background of the athlete's shot).

'Octomom' Nadya Suleman Goes into Rehab for Xanax Addiction

Nadya "Octomom" Suleman has entered rehab for prescription drug addiction, and her 14 children reportedly will remain with nannies for at least the next month. Suleman, 37, checked into the Chapman House Treatment Center last week because of "anxiety, exhaustion, and stress" linked to a Xanax addiction, her rep says. "Ms. Suleman has been taking Xanax that was prescribed by her doctor to deal with her anxiety but she felt she needed a treatment program to help with her recovery," her rep says "She will be in treatment for 28 days or more if needed."

Dez Bryant's charges won't be dropped

Domestic violence charges against Dallas Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant will not be dropped. The Dallas County District Attorney’s office will not drop the misdemeanor charge of Class A family violence, the report said, despite a request from Bryant’s mother, Angela Bryant, to drop the case against her son for allegedly assaulting her. Angela Bryant called police on July 16 and said her son grabbed her, tore her shirt and threw a weighted ball at her. An arrest affidavit said he repeatedly struck her across the face with his cap. Bryant surrendered to authorities shortly after the incident was reported. He could face up to a year in prison and a fine.


Irish band refuses to open for Chris Brown
Irish hip-hop trio The Original Rudeboys have snubbed an offer to open for R&B star Chris Brown in the U.K. because of his 2009 assault conviction. And now The Original Rudeboys have turned down the chance to support Brown at his upcoming show at the O2 Arena in their native Dublin on Dec. 3 because they fear the slot will make it seem they condone his bad behavior. Bandmate Sean Walsh said "Even though it's a huge opportunity to play in the O2 with a major hip-hop star and a substantial fee was offered, we are completely against Chris Brown's assault on Rihanna. ... In addition, with our latest single "Blue Eyes" being about domestic violence, it goes against everything we are about as a band and supporting Chris Brown would send out the wrong message to our fans."

While some New York-area television shows resumed filming today after Hurricane Sandy battered the east coast Monday, it could be a harder road to recovery for ABC’s 666 Park Avenue. The show’s set, which is located at Cine Magic Riverfront Studios in Brooklyn, overlooking the New York City skyline, suffered severe damages after water flooded the building Monday night. “I went to check them out on the night of the storm at 10 p.m. and they were under 6 feet of water — the entire complex,” says Peter Kapsalis, owner of Cine Magic Riverfront Studios. “It wasn’t in very good shape.” The water, which has since receded, did varied damage to sets, he adds, but some could possibly be salvaged. “The Daylight Studio, which carried some of the smaller sets and was a little closer to the water [was] completely demolished,” Kapsalis says. “The main sets stayed in place even with the water rushing in [but] everything is extensively damaged.”
