Former Poison frontman and reality TV star Bret Michaels underwent heart surgery on Monday to close a hole in his heart.

According to Reality TV:
"Bret Michaels underwent a successful heart procedure today at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix," hospital representatives said in a statement obtained by People. "Michaels is currently recuperating at St. Joseph's where he remains for observation in ICU." 

The musician and reality TV star underwent the procedure to repair a hole in his heart which was discovered after he suffered a "warning stroke" last May. The "warning stroke" came less than a month after he suffered a massive brain hemorrhage while recovering from an earlier emergency appendectomy.

Kourtney Kardashian has no clue on sis' new TV show



Kourtney Kardashian is apparently in the shadow about her sister Khloe Kardashian's new TV show with her husband, LA Lakers' forward Lamar Odom.

According to Reality TV World:

"She's [being] shady in general about this show.  Like Kim and I call her [and ask], 'What are you doing?' And she [whispers] 'We're filming' and she doesn't tell us anything that is going on," Kourtney told Jimmy Kimmel during a Thursday night appearance on his Jimmy Kimmel Live late-night show. 

"Like what goes on in the Odom household, we don't know.  Because it's not like we hang out there all the time.  We're usually at my mom's house or, I don't know. 


According to Kourtney, Khloe's secrecy about the show has been a shared point of frustration for her and her sister Kim Kardashian, whom she co-stars with in Kourtney and Kim Take New York, the new Keeping Up with the Kardashians spinoff which premiered on E! on Sunday night.

Amidst the mounting concern over the sharing of private information of its users to third-party applications and developer companies, Facebook delayed its move to enable these companies access to addresses and mobile numbers of the social networks' users.

According to Inquirer.net:
Facebook announced on its developer blog on Friday it would begin granting developers access to home addresses and mobile numbers but the social network followed up with another post on Tuesday saying the move had been put on hold.
"Over the weekend, we got some useful feedback that we could make people more clearly aware of when they are granting access to this data," said Douglas Purdy, director of developer relations at Facebook.
"We agree, and we are making changes to help ensure you only share this information when you intend to do so," Purdy said.
"We'll be working to launch these updates as soon as possible, and will be temporarily disabling this feature until those changes are ready," he said.
"We look forward to re-enabling this improved feature in the next few weeks."
The change announced Friday would have allowed Facebook members to share their home address and mobile number with external websites and third-party developers of applications.

Kellie Pickler Secret Wedding

Country Singer and American Idol alum, Kellie Pickler married songwriter Kyle Jacobs at a surprise New Year's Day wedding at a private island in the Carribean.

According to Yahoo News:
Pickler and Jacobs join famous couples Shania Twain and Frederic Thiebaud and Valerie Bertinelli and Tom Vitale in tying the knot on New Year's Day. Although many couples seem to opt for spring or summer weddings, I could understand the appeal of a New Year's Day wedding as it symbolizes new beginnings. For those who are into numerology, this New Year was particularly significant, being 1/1/11.
And the blond songstress seems to have happily found her match. As she described, "I could never love somebody the way I love him. He's my world."
Pickler tweeted today:
Just got back from my honeymoon & now I'm packing for the Middle East. Time to take a little piece of home to our service men & women. #USO
