Carlos Santana Is Doing Well After Collapsing Onstage From Dehydration And Heat Exhaustion
Carlos Santana gave fans a scare last night when he collapsed on stage during a concert at the Pine Knob Music Theater in Clarkston, Michigan. TMZ reports that the 74-year-old guitar legend passed out 4 or 5 songs into the show, right when he was about to play a song called, “Joy”. Apparently, Carlos realized something was off, sat down in front of the drums, and then collapsed backward. EMTs rushed to help, and staff blocked him from the audience with a large black tarp. Carlos managed to regain consciousness before he was taken to ER, and waved to fans as he was wheeled off the stage. Later, he took to Facebook to explain that he was doing well, he just “forgot to eat and drink water, so I dehydrated and passed out.” A rep told TMZ that Carlos was “overtaken by heat exhaustion and dehydration.” To quote the opening lines of the Santana and Rob Thomas 1999 mega-hit, Smooth, “man, it’s a hot one!” So, you know, stay hydrated.
Wendy Williams Is Reportedly “On The Mend” And Ready To Get Back To Her Show
So the thirteenth season of The Wendy Williams Show was supposed to premiere this past Monday, but last week the show announced they’d be pushing it to October 4 cuz Wendy Williams got herself a “breakthrough case” of COVID-19. A couple of days later, TMZ added another sad layer to the messy nacho dip that is Wendy’s life when they reported that she’d voluntarily checked into a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation. Then this Tuesday paps caught a frail-looking Wendy being pushed around in a wheelchair, vaping in her car and chatting up some random dude on the street for a half-hour. But don’t worry, because Page Six’s sources insist Wendy’s “on the mend” and the show is still set to return October 4. Are… we… sure?
Amy Schumer Had Her Uterus And Appendix Removed Due To Endometriosis
Amy Schumer suffers from endometriosis, which is apparently horrible, painful, makes your periods hell, and can affect fertility. Amy also had a really rough, pukey pregnancy with her 2-year-old son Gene (the diagnosis was hyperemesis gravidarum), and last year she shared that while she tried having a second kid via IVF, it was super tough and she didn’t think she could ever be pregnant again. Welp, things didn’t get any better for Amy’s reproductive health. This past weekend, 40-year-old Amy took to Instagram to share that she was in the hospital recovering from endometriosis surgery. Doctors removed her uterus and appendix (so a hysterectomy and an appendectomy). Damn. Continue reading

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin Exposed His 9 Children To Chickenpox On Purpose
In non-celebrity news, but highly in the realm of WTF, the Governor of Kentucky, Matt Bevin, decided he would take his parenting skills all the way left. We currently live in a world where people like Jenny McCarthy and Kristin Cavallari are known as opinion leaders on vaccinations despite having zero medical (or rational) expertise. And you know who loves this? Matt Bevin. He supports parents not vaccinating his kids, and it looks like he’s not into vaccinating his kids either, because he revealed he forced all nine of his kids to purposely contract chickenpox.
