"Frankie Muniz Suffers From Another Mini-Stroke
He almost went a full year without any health problems, but now Frankie Muniz revealed he suffered another mini-stroke.
On Monday (November 25), the "Malcolm in the Middle" star took to his Twitter account and shared the troubling news to his followers writing, "Almost a year to the day, I experienced another stroke. Hopefully that will be the last. Miserable."
Last year on November 30th, the 27-year-old actor was rushed to an Arizona emergency room after his friends stated that he was "acting really weird."
Frankie's symptoms included difficulty speaking and trouble comprehending what others were telling him. While trying to recover from the mini-stroke, which is when blood is unable to reach the brain, Frankie described the ordeal on Twitter as "not fun at all."
According to Muniz's doctors, they were not able to pinpoint the exact cause of the condition. He currently believes the first stroke was caused by working too hard on his career and his band.
Stay linked with GossipCenter for the latest details on Frankie's condition."

"Paris Jackson 'doing better' but will likely remain at boarding school for troubled teens 'for years'
She was placed in a boarding school for troubled teens after she tried to commit suicide earlier this year.
And although Paris Jackson is 'doing better,' she will likely remain at the Diamond Ranch Academy in Utah for a long time to come, reports TMZ.
The 15-year-old was originally tipped to stay at the $14,000-a-month treatment centre for a few weeks, but a source told the website she may in fact stay 'for years' as she grapples with her 'many problems.'
The teenager was admitted to the school in July this year after slashing her wrists and overdosing on pills on June 5.
The academy is a secluded centre for teenagers that specialises in depression and grief management.
Paris - who is allegedly under a false name at the school - has apparently struggled with depression since her father Michael Jackson died in 2009.
According to TMZ, Paris had a family therapy session on Tuesday morning with her biological mother Debbie Rowe and grandmother Katherine Jackson.
Paris was allegedly with her therapist at the centre during the session while Debbie, 54, and Katherine, 83, joined in over the phone.
Sources tell the website that Paris may be allowed to visit her family for a few days in January, and Katherine is said to be redoing Paris' room for the occasion.
But Paris will return to the boarding school, where she will possibly remain for 'years' as her treatment continues, reports the website.
Meanwhile, Paris' mother Debbie made headlines on Monday when she said she would 'buy the bullet' to kill Conrad Murray after the disgraced doctor spoke ill of her during a new interview.
TMZ contacted Debbie after the former doctor - found guilty of the involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson - said that he and the King of Pop used to joke about how sexually unattractive they believed she was.
'A Jackson fan will shoot him dead, and I'd buy the bullet,' she reportedly told the gossip site.
Debbie, who is also mother to Paris' brother Prince, also doesn't believe Murray's claims that her ex-husband took his own life by injecting himself with the fatal dose of Propofol while he was in another room.
'It's so disgusting he's trashing the dead,' she told TMZ. 'The jury sure didn't buy his story.'
This isn't the first medical professional Debbie has had a war of words with, for in September, the nurse got into a conflict with dermatologist Dr. Arnold Klein on Twitter, after he alleged she took the powerful painkillers from his practice to feed the singer's addiction."

I WISH IT WAS A HOAX.... AND IF IT IS, ITS ONE OF THE CRUELEST....
"'Fast & Furious' star Paul Walker killed in car crash
Santa Clarita, California (CNN) -- Actor Paul Walker, who shot to fame as star of the high-octane street racing franchise "Fast & Furious," died Saturday in a car crash in Southern California. He was 40.
Walker's publicist Ame van Iden confirmed his death, but said she could not elaborate beyond statements posted on Walker's official Twitter and Facebook accounts.
Walker was a passenger in a friend's 2005 Porsche Carrera GT and both were attending a charity event for his organization, Reach Out Worldwide, in the community of Valencia in Santa Clarita, about 30 miles north of Hollywood.
The website for the charity said the Saturday event was intended to benefit victims of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.
Speed was a factor in the crash, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office said.
The wreck took place about 3:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. ET), about 300 yards from the office park where the event was held. The speed limit there is 45 mph.
Up and down the road near the crash site were burned rubber and doughnut marks as though someone smoked their tires in figure 8 patterns.
"I don't know if the marks in the road are related to the crash," said Los Angeles County sheriff's Sgt. Brian Allen.
Deputies arrived at the scene to find a vehicle on fire, he said
Once fire crews put the flames out, they found two occupants, both of whom were pronounced dead at the scene.
Saturday evening, all that remained was the burnt mangled metal of the red car and a light pole that had been knocked down.
The county coroner said that, given the condition of the bodies, it will take some time to definitively identify them.
Box office success
Walker's career began on the small screen, first with a commercial for Pampers when he was 2, and then with parts in shows such as "Highway to Heaven" and "Touched By An Angel."
His first few movie roles were as supporting characters in teen flicks, most notably in "Varsity Blues."
His career really took off when he was cast as undercover cop Brian O'Conner infiltrating a street-racing gang in 2001's "The Fast and the Furious."
The box-office success of the surprise summer hit yielded numerous sequels. And along with Vin Diesel, Walker was one of the franchise stalwarts.
At the time of his death, he was working on the seventh film of the franchise, due out next year.
Walker wasn't just a car enthusiast on the silver screen, off-screen, the actor competed in the "Redline Time Attack" racing series.
On his verified Twitter account, Walker described himself as "outdoorsman, ocean addict, adrenaline junkie ... and I do some acting on the side."
Walker also is the star of "Hours," an independent film scheduled to be released December 13 about a father struggling to keep his newborn infant alive in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.
Twitter and other social media exploded with reactions to Walker's death.
"Completely numb and saddened to hear of the tragic death of Paul Walker," wrote one.
Hollywood condolences came from Will Smith, Jack Osbourne, DMX and others.
"No, @realpaulwalker. No. No. No," tweeted actress Alyssa Milano. Walker guest-appeared with her in the 80s comedy, "Who's The Boss?" "Rest with the angels. You. Sweet boy. #beauty #love #RIP."
He is survived by his 15-year-old daughter, Meadow."
And smth else to consider:
"Paul Walker: Death Hoax Before Car Crash Didn't Happen
Paul Walker has reportedly died after being involved in a single car-accident in Southern California on Saturday (November 30) and there are reports that a hoax involving his death had spread the day before.
While some believe that a website is reporting the 40-year-old actor was the victim of a hoax just before he died, this is all from a website that has an automatic generator set for any celebrity you want to plug in. The hoax reports are not true.
The very next day, Paul was in a car that was involved in an accident and the car exploded at the scene. One other person in the car was killed.
We continue to send our thoughts and condolences to Paul‘s loved ones at this time."

What's weird about it is that not only does it stress safety while driving, it mentions a connection between it and witchcraft AND it goes on to show an incident where a cartoon predicted a tragedy years before it happened. But maybe I'm just seeing connections because of the stunning crash and all...

I am sorry, I dont believe he is dead. I believe he faked his own death. All clues point to that. He's not the first, nor the last to do that. Heath Ledger did it successfully and looks like James Gandolfini did it too. Too bad he chose this totally crappy way to do it.

Never heard of him before his untimely death.... Paul Walker is/was famous enuff. If somehow u are disconnected from the real world, of course u didnt hear of him. And Cory Monteith, the "Glee" guy, I believe he also faked his death....

"Little House On The Prairie star reveals how playing scheming brat Nellie helped her cope with the pain of being sexually abused as a childLittle House On The Prairie star Alison Arngrim has revealed how playing the hit TV show’s iconic baddie helped her cope with the fact that she had been sexually abused when she was younger. Arngrim was 12 years old when she landed the iconic role of Nellie Oleson, the scheming brat with blonde pigtails and prim dresses. She has described the role as ‘absolutely therapeutic’ as she struggled to deal with the aftermath of being sexually abused by a relative for three years from when she was six. ‘So here I was playing this girl that everyone was afraid of and it's great,’ said Arngrim, speaking in a new episode of Oprah: Where Are They Now? which airs on Sunday. ‘I'm paid to play this person who screams, yells, throw things, vents her anger, just lets it out, doesn't care who's looking, shows all the worst parts, makes terrible faces and doesn't care how awful she looks. It was absolutely therapeutic.’ Because she was so young, Arngrim says she didn't tell anyone when the abuse started. ‘I wasn't quite completely clear on exactly what it was that was being done to go report this,’ she said. ‘So when I started to get older and realize what it was, that's when I actually said “No, I'm not doing this anymore.” And amazingly, it stopped.’ Arngrim says her cast mates never knew about the abuse, and she even kept the secret from her family. ‘It was awful,’ she said. ‘It's keeping the secret is the worst part. It's wondering, can someone tell by looking at you?’ Arngrim, who now does work with the National Association to Protect Children, said she finally came to terms with what happened her when she was in her early 20s. ‘I actually read somewhere the average length of time for someone to come forward about being sexually abused is 14 years from the incident,’ she said. ‘I was in my early 20s when I first started talking about it and went to therapy, so I was right on schedule - textbook.’ Arngrim first spoke out about the abuse in her memoir Confessions Of A Prairie Bitch: How I Survived Nellie Oleson And Learned To Love Being Hated, released in 2010. Speaking to Larry King at the time she refused to name the perpetrator - 'for personal reasons and for legal reasons' - but did clarify it was not one of her parents. When asked about the nature of the abuse, she replied: 'Obviously I prefer not to go into specific, graphic details, but really, at six I did not understand exactly what was happening. 'I did not know what sex was. I did not know what he was doing because I did not know what it was.' She did not report it, saying: 'When you are physically threatened you don't tell people.' Arngrim said acting and playing Nellie Oleson helped her deal with the anger. '[Nellie] was a girl I grew to love,’ she wrote in her book. ‘She got me out of my house when I thought there was no escape. ‘She transformed me from a shy, abused little girl afraid of her own shadow to the in-your-face, outspoken, politically active, big-mouthed bitch I am today.' Arngrim wrote that people still confuse her with that nasty character she last played more than 30 years ago. 'To be 11 or 12 and have everyone call you a bitch to your face every day of your life is very strange,' she told The Today Show in 2010. 'I’ve been spat upon, beaten and pelted with garbage at a Christmas parade. I was beaten up at a personal appearance.' As for the other cast members, Michael Landon was apparently very different from his perfect character Charles Ingalls. He liked the fast cars, the Ferrari; he was married several times,' Arngrim recalled. 'He was a really Hollywood producer-director type. He smoked, he drank, he told dirty jokes.' She also revealed in the book that she was 'best friends' with Melissa Gilbert, who played her arch nemesis Laura Ingalls. Arngrim, now a stand-up comic and actress, started on the hit show aged 11 in 1974 and remained until 1981 when her character grew up and got married." www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2518230/Little-House-On-The-Prairie-star-reveals-playing-scheming-brat-Nellie-helped-cope-pain-sexually-abused-child.html

Home invasion, my foot....
"Reality TV director killed in home invasion
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles police are investigating the fatal home invasion shooting of a director who worked on the reality TV show "America's Next Top Model."
The Los Angeles Times reports 42-year-old James Howe died and his wife was seriously wounded in the Nov. 27 attack at their rented home.
Police say Howe and his wife answered the door of the Glassell Park home for what they thought was a lone salesman, but instead, two men and a woman forced their way inside.
A fight ensued at the doorway, and one of the men pulled a gun and opened fire.
The couple's 6-year-old son wasn't harmed.
Los Angeles Deputy Police Chief Jose Perez says the shooting appeared random and there's no obvious motive.
No arrests have been made."

Regarding the deaths of stars like Walker and Gandolfini, they were not getting media attention, but in their deaths, they had been given much publicity.
I find it tragic that these people get more attention in their "deaths" than during their lives..

Thats the point, Lucy, this is why they faked their deaths, coz in such cases too being dead is more profitable than being alive....

"British photographer daughter of actress Jane Birkin and Bond film composer John Barry found dead on pavement beneath her Paris apartment
British photographer Kate Barry has been found dead on the pavement beneath her fourth-floor flat in Paris.
The 46-year-old was the daughter of actress and singer Jane Birkin and the late James Bond composer John Barry.
Ms Barry's body was found soon after 6.30pm on Wednesday in the 16th arrondissement of the French capital.
Sources say she fell 80ft from a window of her apartment, where anti-depressants were found inside.
It is just a few miles from the flat where Ms Birkin herself now lives on Paris's Left Bank.
Ms Barry was thought to be alone inside the flat before the tragedy happened, and anti-depressants were said to have been found by police.
'The matter is under investigation, but we can confirm the death,' said a local police spokesman. He said the front door of the floor was found locked.
France's culture minister paid a moving tribute to Ms Barry today, offering 'heartfelt and loving thoughts' to 'a family we all love, the French love'.
Aurelie Filippetti said Ms Barry had become 'an outstanding photographer who understood the very meaning of pictures, staging, light and composition'.
Ms Barry is also survived by a son, Roman de Kermadec, who is 26. Her half-sister was actress Charlotte Gainsbourg, the daughter of Ms Birkin and the late French singer Serge Gainsbourg.
Ms Birkin, who also has a daughter called Lou Doillon with the director Jacques Doillon, has frequently spoken about her closeness to her daughters.
Earlier this year, she said: 'I've never had a week without having all three of my daughters on the telephone.
'My eldest daughter, Kate, looks most like me. She's a photographer. She had a Polaroid camera in her hand from a young age and photographed her sisters all the time.'
Ms Barry's parents separated in 1967, the year she was born in London, and she was brought up until the age of 13 by Ms Birkin and Gainsbourg, who died in 1991.
At 17, she underwent treatment for drug and alcohol addiction in central London.
She had a close relationship with groups including Alcoholics Anonymous and set up a centre for addicts in France in 1993.
Ms Barry began her career as a professional photographer in 1996 and her first major exhibition was at the Bunkamura Gallery in Tokyo in 2000.
She went on to produce pictures for a variety of publications including British Vogue and the Sunday Times magazine."
