Right now, it’s being reported that the hospital has not commented if it is diabetes or the recent appendectomy that is connected to it. Perhaps they are not yet sure.

Wow. I guess if you are a rock star your cock automatically grows 2-3 inches because all the sluts that banged their way onto that chart report 8-10 inch cocks on these dudes. Something tells me that the types of women who get banged backstage don’t have the best eye for measurement.

I had never heard of this guy until recently. All of a sudden I started seeing him everywhere–he was coming here for a concert, I was at SeaWorld San Antonio the day he was supposed to perform but had to have the emergency surgery, I read somewhere he was one of the front runners to win Celebrity Apprentice (don’t watch), and now this horrible event. Dayyum! Healing thoughts your way, Bret.

I hate his role in bringing hair metal to the fore, but he does seem like a relatively un-douchey guy. He’s pretty likable on The Apprentice. I hope he pulls through okay.
