Britney has a tooth ache

Did you hear that Britney was briefly hospitalized last Sunday because she was having pain in one of her molars?

Well she ended up back in the Century City Hospital on Wednesday. It seems that the tooth hadn’t gotten any better.

I can understand the first visit to the hospital. After all it was a Sunday and dentists don’t usually work on the weekend, but if the pain was bad enough on Sunday to send her to the hospital should she have followed up with a dentist on Monday or Tuesday at the latest? Why end up at the hospital again on Wednesday? I don’t get it.

“There were no life-threatening injuries,” the Los Angeles Fire Department said in a statement. “They conducted a medical exam but the persons involved sought their own medical attention.”

Kidman’s husband, Keith Urban, was on set at the time, photos show. Earlier in the day, Kidman’s children Isabella, 14, and Conner, 11, were on the set, but had left before the accident.

Oprah’s thoughts on Betrayal

by Tricia

In the latest issue of Oprah Winfreys magazine she reveals that she was shattered when a relative, in 1990, told the world that she had a baby at the tender age of fourteen. Winfrey is writing about her “First Betrayal” as per the February issue’s theme “My first”.

The relative that Oprah feels betrayed her had told the National Enquirer that Winfrey had given birth to a baby who later died in the hospital a few weeks later. The associated press identified the blabbing relative as Oprahs half sister Patricia Lloyd. Oprah says her relative “sat in a room, told them the story of my hidden shame and left their offices $19,000 richer.”

When Oprah found out, she writes “I took to my bed and cried for three days. I felt devastated. Wounded. Betrayed. How could this person do this to me?”

Before the article came out, she says, “Only my family and closest friends knew. I would tell no one until I felt safe enough to share my dark past: the years I was sexually abused, from age 10 to 14, my resulting promiscuity as a teenager, and finally, at 14, my becoming pregnant.”

“I imagined that every person on the street was going to point their finger at me and scream, ‘Pregnant at 14, you wicked girl … expelled!’ ”

She came to find that “No one said a word … not strangers, not even people I knew. I was shocked. Nobody treated me differently. For 20 years, I had been expecting a reaction that never came.

“And I soon realized that having the secret out was liberating. … What I learned for sure was that holding the shame was the greatest burden of all.”

A public service for the late Godfather of Soul will be held today at the Apollo Theater in New York City. James Brown died suddenly in the early hours of Monday morning after being admitted to the Emory Crawford Hospital in Atlanta, GA. He’d been diagnosed with pneumonia, but Heart Failure is the reported cause of death. Brown was 73 years old, and he’s survived by his partner, Tomi Rae Hynie, who was one of his back-up singers, and at least four children.

James Brown’s fans are pouring into New York city to say their final farewell to the music great. His body will be on view for the public at the Apollo Theater in Harlem. It’s been reported that a private ceremony will be held in Augusta GA on Friday, and then on Saturday, fans will be able to honor the music legend at a public funeral, to be officiated by Reverend Al Sharpton, that’s slated to be held at the James Brown Arena in Augusta.

BET Networks chairman and CEO Debra Lee said “We have lost the most inspirational force the music world has ever known, James Brown’s impact across all genres of music — especially funk, soul, disco and rock — is immeasurable, and will never be duplicated. He was one of the few individuals who truly merited recognition as an American legend. Without question, today’s musical artists worldwide owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to James Brown for his influence on lyrics, dance and stage presence.”

Brown first came to the publics attention with his 1956 single “Please, Please, Please” which quickly hit the R&B charts. He later went on to record such well known classics as “Out of Sight,” “(Get Up I Feel Like Being a) Sex Machine,” “I Got You (I Feel Good)” and “Say It Loud — I’m Black and I’m Proud.”

Brown was honored with a lifetime achievment Grammy in 1992, and he was one of the first performers ever to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. He also won two Grammys. One in 1965 for “Papa’s got a brand new bag” and the second in 1987 for “Living in America”.

Michael Jackson was quoted as saying in 2003 when James Brown was being Honored at the BET awards, “Nobody has influenced me more than James Brown, At 6 years old, he was the one I looked up to more than any other entertainer.” It’s also said that Eddie Murphy’s role as James Thunder Early in Dreamgirls was inspired by Brown.
