Scoop for the Week of April 7th

Not Hitting The High Notes She loves butterflies. But that's not what was in Mariah Carey's aching stomach. A bad plate of raw oysters are being blamed for the high-pitched singer's hospitalization. She was admitted for dehydration and food poisoning caused by a bad seafood dinner in Atlanta. She warned her Atlanta audience that she wasn't feeling well but went on with the show. But that didn't stop critics from slamming Mariah's poor performance. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wrote that even good seafood couldn't have saved the show. What a heartbreaker.

Heart Attack Scare It wasn't Anne Heche's latest movie that had Ellen DeGeneres screaming, "heart attack."
