Nick Cannon hospitalized for 'mild kidney failure,' wife Mariah Carey at bedside

Nick Cannon is in the hospital recovering from a "mild kidney failure," according to wife Mariah Carey.

On January 4, Carey took to her Twitter page to announce that her husband was in the hospital. "Please pray for Nick as he's fighting to recover from a mild kidney failure. #mybraveman," Carey Tweeted on her official Twitter page. The singer also took to her official website to go into deeper detail about the situation, and ask for prayers and support from her fans.

"This is us in the hospital - role reversal," Carey wrote on her official website. "Last year it was me attached to the machines (after having dembabies) and Nick was there with me through it, and now here we are." "We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful," the songstress continued. "They tried to kick me out of the hospital but here I am pon de bed with Mr. C. ... I'm not trying to make light out of the situation because it's a serious moment that's very tough on all of us so please keep us and our family in your prayers." Carey, 41, and her husband Cannon, 31, wed in April 2009.

Cannon is known for his role as the host of "America's Got Talent." The pair became parents to healthy twins Monroe and Moroccan, who also go by "Roc and Roe," in April 2011 via Caesarean section. The date also marked the couple's second wedding anniversary. The already famous twin babies even have their own website, dembabies.com, where fans can sneak a peek at personal photos of the family. Carey and Cannon debuted the twins in October on "20/20," where they also discussed their high-risk pregnancy. Though the couple are joyful parents now, the process of conceiving was fraught with difficulties, including a miscarriage. With the help of fertility treatments, the couple welcomed their healthy twins. "I don't think I understood the enormity or the magnitude of what it really does to your body," the Grammy-winning singer said in a promo for the episode. "Like it's not just, oh you don't look pretty and you have a bump." Carey debuted a slim figure in November, becoming the face of the Jenny Craig diet program. She also showed off her curves in the December debut of the revamped "All I Want For Christmas" video, which featured Justin Bieber.

LeBron James’ team reject his $3,000 birthday cake; baker gets angry

There is an old axiom, that has nearly become accepted fact, that the richer you get, the more you tend to receive free things. All manner of swag, including suits, gift bags, German automobiles, or even a $3,000 birthday cake that you summarily reject without having to explain why. At least that's the case so far, for LeBron James.

According to the Miami Herald, an area baker named Alethea Hickman was offered heaps of free publicity for designing a cake to be presented to James during his 27th birthday celebration at a Miami nightspot last week. A "sponsorship," and no actual money, was the payoff according to party handler Jared Galbut.

Then the cake, and the communication between Hickman and Galbut, went a bit pear-shaped:

"I don't even know where my cake went," Hickman said. "I was mortified. They had me do it in the middle of the holiday crush and I hired additional people. Someone needs to pay."

Galbut said James' people decided Hickman's work wasn't fit for the king: "It just wasn't what was expected. When LeBron's people saw it, they just didn't want to use it and decided to bring their own cake. I can't tell LeBron James what birthday cake to eat. It's LeBron James, for Christ's sake."


As for how much Galbut would pay Hickman if he were asked, he just said: "That cake couldn't be worth more than $600. It's flour, eggs and water."

No, it's not just "flour, eggs and water," you idiot. It's "workers, hours, wages, delivery, passed-over revenue streams that were let go so as to service James," and also "things that go on and in a cake besides flour, eggs and water."

With that in place, Hickman was probably way off in thinking that the possible publicity from her massive cake could more than make up for the money and effort her company put into creating the confection.

It seems like she was more than willing to allow for the loss of income just to be associated with a star; they have names for people who do these sorts of things, and we shouldn't feel too bad when she was the one who signed off on giving a free birthday cake to LeBron in the first place. It's not his fault he didn't want to eat the thing, much less pay for it after she agreed to provide it pro bono.

All in all, another case of hopelessly entitled people (barely including James, who probably never even saw the cake) and their less-deserving-but-just-as-entitled handlers acting out of touch in an era that doesn't really deserve that sort of disconnect. Marie Antoinette would be proud.

Dennis Rodman to coach topless women's basketball team

Dennis Rodman is making his return to basketball, this time coaching a topless women's basketball team.

Rodman said that he plans to recruit his team from New York's Headquarters Gentlemen's Club, where he has been a patron for 30 years, according to The New York Post.

"I don't know too many men that don't like a good-looking woman running up and down around the court," Rodman told the Post.

The idea was sparked by the strip club Rick's Cabaret, which formed the topless Rick's Basketball Association during the NBA lockout, to boost morale. Rick's disbanded their team when the lockout ended.

"They'll come out in a T-shirt or a tank top, but when the game starts, they'll go topless," Rodman said of his plan. "You don't have to have too much experience, just know how to throw the ball into the hole."

Rodman appeared in the 2009 season of "Celebrity Apprentice," lasting five episodes. He then battled his alcohol addiction on VH1's reality series "Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew" and "Sober House."

Rodman retired from the NBA in 2000 after playing with the Detroit Pistons, San Antonio Spurs, Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks. Considered the "bad boy" of the NBA, Rodman was entered into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2011.

Rodman made OnTheRedCarpet.com's list of the Shortest Celebrity Marriages for his nine day marriage to Carmen Electra. The pair got married in Las Vegas on November 14, 1998. Nine days later, Rodman filed for an annulment, claiming he was of 'unsound mind' at the time of the nuptials. The pair briefly reconciled but parted for good five months later. Rodman was also romantically linked to Madonna.

Rapper Snoop Dogg appeared on "The Price Is Right" on Monday, as part of the game show's Celebrity Charity week.

The rapper earned $72,585 for his charity, The Snoop Youth Football League, which allows inner-city kids the chance to play football.

Snoop Dogg made headlines in September, joking that he planned to take over as the CEO of Yahoo! after former CEO Carol Bartz was fired from her post as CEO of the online portal and the company's Chief Financial Officer Tim Morse was named interim CEO.

The rapper has often released music that relates to popular topics - he recorded a song that pays tribute to Anna Paquin's character Sookie Stackhouse from the R-rated HBO vampire series "True Blood." In December 2010, he released a track called "WET" in honor of the UK's Prince William and Kate Middleton, who wed in April.

Beyonce and Jay-Z celebrate New Year's Eve in Brooklyn, dispel birth rumors

Beyonce and Jay-Z dispelled rumors that they had welcomed a daughter on Thursday, celebrating New Year's Eve in Brooklyn, NY;

According to foodie website Food Republic, Beyonce and Jay-Z indulged in a quiet dinner at Brooklyn's Buttermilk Channel restaurant. The website reports that the couple sat in a cozy table in the back of the restaurant and the singer was still very much expecting.
The couple's New Year's Eve feast possibly included items from chef Ryan Angula's 3-course tasting menu, which featured a foie gras terrine with pickled grapes, butter-poached lobster and duck meatloaf.

The couple sparked a Twitter frenzy on December 29, when reports emerged that Beyonce had given birth at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital in New York.

The first news of the couple's birth was published on MediaTakeOut.com, who claimed they had confirmation from two nurses at St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital that they were preparing the labor suite for Beyonce's arrival. The entertainment site was also responsible for claiming Beyonce's baby bump was fake.

It is unknown when Beyonce is due to give birth. Though Beyonce reportedly announced her due date to be in February, The New York Post reported that during a video shoot in late September, the singer said that she was six months pregnant.

The 30-year-old singer announced her pregnancy during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards in August. During her 2011 MTV VMA performance she told the audience, "I want you to feel the love that's growing inside me." At the end she opened her sequined tuxedo jacket and rubbed her stomach, to the delight of the crowd.

"Physically I was starting to show, so it was only a matter of days before someone zoomed in," Beyonce told Katie Couric on "20/20" earlier in the month. "So I just wanted it to be from me, and I wanted it to be something that was a celebration of something so beautiful. And I didn't want to release a picture or a statement. I figured the biggest statement was to -- just be."

It will be the first child for the singer, who is married to 41-year-old rapper Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Corey Carter. The couple got married on April 4, 2008. The nuptials were so secret that no photos or video from the event were released. The couple got married with a close circle of 40 friends and family members after dating for six years.

The singer has kept quiet about the sex of her baby, her former Destiny's Child band mate Kelly Rowland might have accidentally revealed that Beyonce is expecting a girl.
