Your Health Minute: No, it's not your local health report. You won't find out how to eat right, feel better or cure athlete's foot. But you will find out why the Hollywood hospitals have been quite busy lately.

Patient: Matthew Perry
Problem: Severe Stomach Pains
Diagnosis: Matthew was originally admitted for flu symptoms. But now he's complaining of stomach pains. Doctors are conducting tests but his prognosis and when he'll be released from the hospital remain unknown. Meanwhile, negotiations with his fellow Friends are still underway. The $1 million each episode demands will certainly help with those hospital bills.

Patient: Sean Brosnan (son of Pierce Brosnan)
Problem: Injured Passenger In April 22 Car Crash
Diagnosis: Sean, 16, was released from the hospital this week. He is recovering at his dad's Malibu home. Papa Pierce is currently in Ireland working on his new film but will return to California later this week. Then it's back to Ireland again to marry Keely Shaye-Smith later this month. Sean will be well enough by then to attend his father's wedding.

Patient: Michael J. Fox
Problem: Parkinson's Disease
Diagnosis: Michael's beginning to feel the effects of Parkinson's. He says, "I'm slower than I was. I'm not as dexterous." He left Spin City because of the physically draining toll it was taking. Even though Parkinson's usually strikes senior citizens, Michael was diagnosed at 29. He still plans to use his fame in the fight against Parkinson's. "Maybe my being in this position can, in a small way, influence the outcome. I mean, God, who wouldn't give the world for that?"

Patient: Estelle Getty
Problem: Parkinson's Disease
Diagnosis: Estelle has been diagnosed with Parkinson's. She's best known for her Emmy-winning performance as the witty and sometimes crude Sophia Petrillo on The Golden Girls. The 76-year-old actress played Sophia from 1985-1992

Tying The Knot...Quick! Guess Angelina Jolie didn't want Billy Bob Thornton changing his mind like he did with Laura Dern. She became the fifth Mrs. Billy Bob Thornton at a quickie ceremony in Las Vegas. You heard it here just a couple of weeks ago that Angelina staked her claim on Billy Bob--a real surprise to Laura. But Angelina said she'd be the one marrying Billy Bob and it looks like she got her wish. The two tied the knot at a less than glamorous service in Vegas--Angelina, 24, wore a sleeveless number...A sleeveless blue sweater and jeans, that is. And Billy Bob, 44, wore jeans and a baseball cap. The ceremony being a little less than traditional went even further. Angelina refused to utter that faithful vow about obedience. And the cost for this extravagant wedding, a whopping $189...the "Beginning Package."
