Rob Kardashian: Hospitalized Following Medical Emegency?!
Rob Kardashian has had a tumultuous 2016, and now it looks as though he might be ending his year on yet another down note, as TMZ is reporting that the 29-year-old has been hospitalized after experiencing a medical emergency.
Rob’s mother, Kris Jenner, and on-again, off-again fiancee, Blac Chyna, both rushed to the hospital late Wednesday night to visit an unidentified patient who is believed to be Rob.
There were initial concerns that Rob and Blac’s daughter, Dream Kardashian, was in medical distress, but insiders now confirm that the infant is at home, being cared for by relatives.
Blac was accompanied only by Kris and her boyfriend, Corey Gamble, when she hurried to the emergency room around 10 pm last night, which seems to confirm that it’s Rob who’s been hospitalized.
Sources say Rob and Blac are broken up at the moment, but they remain bonded by their daughter.
Blac gave birth to Dream just six weeks ago, and her relationship with Rob has struggled mightily ever since.
Just days after Dream entered the world, it was reported that Rob and Blac were living in separate homes, but were not officially broken up.
Shortly thereafter, multiple sources indicated that Rob and Blac had finally called it quits, after she got drunk and attacked him during an argument at his house.
It’s unclear at this time if the stress of his personal life played a factor in Rob’s hospitalization.
Last year, Rob was diagnosed with diabetes, and he’s struggled with a number of health issues recently, including obesity and substance abuse.
When they first got together, Blac vowed to help Rob lose weight and adopt a healthier lifestyle.
At first, she seemed to be a positive influence, helping Rob shed 20 pounds in their first months as a couple.
Eventually, however, Blac became openly frustrated with the round-the-clock effort of keeping Rob in shape, and as her attention shifted to her pregnancy and then her baby, he began to fall back into many of his old habits.
At this time, no one in the Kardashian family has offered a statement with regard to Rob’s condition.
We will have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.

Leah Messer Receives Devastating Medical News About Daughter
Of all the troubled young mothers that have been featured on Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2 over the years, perhaps none has experienced worse luck than Leah Messer.
In her six seasons on the show, we"ve seen Leah struggle with addiction, go through two divorces, and endure an ugly custody battle with Corey Simms.
But while other Teen Mom stars have endured substance abuse issues and bad breakups, most of their problems are self-created.
Leah"s decision-making abilities aren"t always the greatest, but her biggest cross to bear is not the result of any of her mistakes.
If you watch Teen Mom 2 online, you"re likely aware that one of Leah"s twin daughters, Aliannah, is battling muscular dystrophy.
In the clip below, Leah and Corey take Aliannah to her doctor, due to the fact that she"s been falling down more often than usual.
Unfortunately, they receive devastating news about her health.
“Her strength is still quite decent,” the doctor informs them. “But once she’s getting to age seven, then gradually, the maturity affects her. Then she may very slowly get weaker.”
He goes on to say that say that in the very near future she"ll likely lose her ability to walk and become completely reliant on her power wheelchair.
Watch the heartbreaking video below.

David Foster: STILL Paying Yolanda Foster"s Medical Bills?!
It’s been over two weeks since we first learned that Yolanda and David Foster are getting divorced, and sources say that even though Yolanda is the one who decided to call it quits, she’s still milking David for everything he’s worth.
According to TMZ, the couple signed a prenup when they married in 2011, but David is giving Yolanda much more cash than he’s required to.
In fact, the website claims that David is still paying for Yolanda’s medical bills, which is odd for a few reasons:
For one thing, Yolanda’s bills are astronomical, as she frequently travels internationally to receive expensive stem cell treatments that aren’t legal in the US.
But what makes the situation even more surprising is the fact that friends say David doesn’t even believe Yolanda has Lyme disease!
“David is telling friends he believes she was cured of it long ago, but she’s been playing up ongoing symptoms because she enjoys the attention,” one insider recently told Radar Online.
Sources say Yolanda decided to end the marriage over a year ago, but David has continued to provide emotional and financial support.
When David sold his $ 27 million Malibu home, he reportedly gave Yolanda “a big chunk” of the money, and she recently purchased a $ 5 million home in the upscale Wilshire Corridor section of Los Angeles.
Yolanda may or may not be sick, but from the sound of things, her bank account has never been healthier.
Lamar Odom Medical Costs Revealed: His Treatment Costs HOW MUCH?!
Yesterday, we reported that Lamar Odom may soon be able to leave the hospital after spending the last two months convalescing at medical facilities in Las Vegas and LA.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean the former NBA star is out of the woods in terms of his recovery.
Lamar has trouble walking and communicating, and will likely require round-the-clock care once he leaves Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles.
Odom currently has nowhere to go (Khloe Kardashian says he can’t live with her, and Lamar is estranged from most of his family.), and the cost of his ongoing treatment may soon leave the 36-year-old destitute.
“By the end of the year, he’ll have easily made at least a $ 10 million dent in his $ 55 million fortune,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.
“There’s no end in sight and he’s completely unaware of what’s going on.”
Fortunately for Lamar, his ex remains his biggest supporter, and she’s very, very well-off:
“Khloe’s managing most of it, but to her money’s no object and she’s signing him up for the best treatments money can buy,” the insider said.
“The fact they’re still only married in name has everyone on Lamar’s side freaking out because they know he’s going to be left with all these bills when she finally kicks him out.”
But while the thought of Khloe seeking out the best medical treatment money can buy may be a cause of concern within Lamar’s inner circle, sources say Khloe is acting out of Odom’s best interests.
While she may draw the line at her ex moving in with her, she’s reportedly making all the right decisions to ensure that he’s one day able to get some semblance of his old life back:
“He needs this treatment,” the insider conceded, “It’s what saved his life – but who’s going to pay for it all is going to cause some legal hell down the line.”
It’s am incredibly difficult situation, to be sure, but hopefully Lamar realizes how lucky he is to have a $ 55 million fortune and a wealthy ex to fall back on.

Khloe Kardashian: Footing Lamar Odom"s Medical Bills?!
While racking up millions of dollars in medical bills, Lamar Odom celebrated his birthday on November 6. The basketball star, who just turned 36, is slowing making progress after overdosing in a Nevada brothel in October.
In the meantime, Odom’s estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, is stepping in. According to Radar Online, Khloe will foot the bill for her soon-to-be ex-husband’s medical treatment.
An insider revealed, “Lamar is still a rich man on paper, but he’s cash poor because most of his savings are tied up.”
“He burned through an absolute fortune on drugs and hookers this past year or two, so finding immediate funds for these huge private health care bills is getting difficult,” the source added.
Khloe, 31, has shown an overwhelming amount of support and compassion since Odom was admitted into the hospital.
Odom and Kardashian were in the midst of divorcing when Odom overdosed. Though neither party officially signed the divorce papers, they were in the process off splitting up.
After Odom’s nearly fatal incident, Kardashian rescinded the divorce papers until Odom is healthy again. Now, she is showing her support by paying his medical bills.
“Khloe told them to send her the bill,” the insider explained. “Money is the least of her worries right now — she just wants Lamar back on his feet as soon as possible.”

Lamar Odom Undergoes Multiple Medical Procedures
Lamar Odom may have been transferred from Las Vegas to Los Angeles, and he may be communicating with those around him, but the star is not out of the woods just yet.
Sadly, in fact, he just underwent a pair of medical procedures.
According to TMZ sources, both operations involved issues related to Odom’s chest, while an insider tells the site that Lamar is in a “fragile mental state.”
Doctors have banned Odom from seeing any visitors, except for Khloe Kardashian, who has remained legally married to Odom and who has even agreed to call off her divorce from Lamar.
“I think it’s still really touch-and-go,” a source tells Us Weekly, adding:
“Khloe is not really responding to friends who’ve reached out; I think she’s just in a bubble with her family right now.”
It’s only been 10 days since Odom was found unconscious at a legal brother in Nevada.
Tests have confirmed that cocaine was in his system at the time he was hospitalized, with initial reports giving Odom no better than a 50% chance of survival.
So his condition has certainly improved, but it’s far too soon to know for certain how he will respond to this medical crisis.
In response to this incident, and in order to earn Khloe’s trust back, Odom has supposedly sworn off drugs forever.
“This is a huge wakeup call for Lamar, for his friends and family,” the Us Weekly source concludes. “Everyone is just really hoping for the best.”

Jamie Zimmerman Dies; ABC News Medical Correspondent Was 31
Jamie Zimmerman – the medical doctor and journalist best known for her work with ABC News – has passed away at the age of 31.
Sources say Zimmerman drowned while vacationing in Hawaii.
“Jamie touched so many of us across ABC News,” wrote network president Goldston in a message to employees. “We will miss her. Jamie had a passion to make the world a better place and help all of us lead better lives.”
In addition to her on-air work at ABC, Zimmerman was a regular contributor to Huffington Post, Yahoo News and PBS.
Though tremendously knowledgeable on the topic of medicine, Zimmerman was also remarkably well-rounded.
She studied anthropology and film at UCLA and got her medical degree from Mount Sinai School of Medicine last year. As a teen, she acted on such popular series as 7th Heaven and Boston Public.
But for all of her accomplishments, family and friends say she was most proud of her work on global health initiatives that recently brought her to the most troubled areas of Haiti and the Congo.
“My little girl was always trying to do too much,” Jamie’s mother wrote on Facebook.
“She wanted to write books and already had a literary agent. She just couldn’t stop taking on more. It’s as if she knew her time was limited and she was trying to fit it all in!”
She added that she hopes her daughter’s life will inspire others to make the world a better place.

Bobbi Kristina"s Cause Of Death Has Been Established, But Here"s Why Medical Examiners Have Been Ordered Not To Release It To The Public
Hopefully this will lead to some kind of closure.
It appears that authorities now know exactly what killed Bobbi Kristina Brown, but they refuse to release anything to the public yet, allegedly because of the active criminal investigation that could soon turn into a homicide prosecution.
Video: Bobby Brown Discusses His Daughter’s Death On The Real
The Fulton County (Georgia) Medical Examiner has announced that they have a cause of death in the tragedy that befell Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown‘s daughter, but they won’t yet release it to the public, since a Georgia judge has ordered those findings to remain private.
However, the Roswell (Georgia) Police Department has been briefed on the cause of death as their criminal investigation continues — and apparently they’ve been looking at BK’s boyfriend Nick Gordon ever since the tragedy happened.
The judge’s order clearly falls under the fact that the criminal investigation is still active; authorities likely don’t want Gordon — or any other person of interest — to be able to mount a pre-emptive defense based on public knowledge of the death before police can get what they need in their pursuit of justice.
However it plays out, here’s hoping law enforcement does the right things, and that there’s justice for the Brown family and the memory of Bobbi Kristina. It won’t bring her back, but hopefully it will help give the family a little bit of closure after her sad passing.

Bobbi Kristina -- Medical Examiner Keeps Cause of Death Secret -- Criminal Investigation Looms
Z STAFF
The Fulton County Medical Examiner just said it knows exactly what killed Whitney Houston‘s daughter, but they can’t reveal it to the public because a judge ordered the findings sealed.
The M.E. did say the Fulton County D.A. and the Roswell P.D. have been clued in.
It’s not hard to read between the lines. Authorities don’t want the findings to interfere with their investigation … to give persons of interests and suspects a road map preventing them from making incriminating statements. The judge’s order underscores that the criminal investigation is active.
As we reported, cops have been looking at Nick Gordon, Bobby Kristina’s boyfriend almost from the beginning.
