A Different Beat Singer Elton John is dancing to a different beat. Actually, dancing's probably out for a while. The 52-year-old singer underwent emergency surgery last week to fit a heart pacemaker. Tests in a London hospital revealed Elton had an irregular heartbeat. He said he regretted he had to cancel shows for the weekend. He was also scheduled to perform at the wedding of football ace David Beckham to Spice Girl Victoria Adams. Elton's recovering at his London mansion and is said to be doing just fine.

Tori Troubles Who says it's easy being Tori Spelling? Not Tori, that's for sure. Even though she grew up in a 123-room mansion, the Beverly Hills 90210 star is just like every other girl.

The last straw for Ally came when the show was only renewed for 13 episodes---not a full season. So Ally Walker walked. Jamie Luner (right) will replace her as the FBI drama enters it's fourth season this fall. You'll remember Jamie just entered the unemployment line when Melrose Place went off the air earlier this year. Nice comeback.

Exiting ER If you're looking for a job, you may want to start in the ER. Gloria Reuben, who plays Jeannie Boulet, is leaving ER in mid-season. Gloria's been disappointed with her character's development on the show so she's calling it quits. The show is already in the ICU, suffering from a serious casting crisis.
