Charlie entered a treatment facility on February 24 because he had starting drinking and using cocaine again. The filming of his highly successful TV show ‘Two And A Half Men’ was put on hold to give him the time and space he needed to get help. Now RadarOnline reports he will leave rehab not even a month after entering, in order to continue filming on March 19.

Charlie isn’t the only one in rehab though: His wife, Brooke Mueller, also entered several facilities in the past two months before returning home to seek treatment for crack cocaine and alcohol addiction. The mother of Charlie’s twin sons has previously battled addictions to the same drugs.

Charlie is due in court on March 15 to face one felony and two misdemeanor charges.

This habit can abrade the tooth and can also cause other tooth related problems, medicinenet.com reports. Giraki said, “Bruxing can lead to abrasive tooth wear, looseness and sensitivity of teeth, and growth and pain in the muscles responsible for chewing. Its causes are still relatively unknown, but stress has been implicated. We aimed to investigate whether different stress-factors, and different coping strategies, were more or less associated with these bruxism symptoms.”

Weight loss and/or eating disorders can also be a result of stress. Read about Kate Bosworth, who claims she is skinny because of stress, and Diana, Princess of Wales, who admitted to becoming bulimic due to stress.

The report, which was presented at the 50th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention in San Francisco, stated that the huge increase in the consumption of sugar sweetened beverages in the last decade, contributed to 130,000 new cases of diabetes and 14,000 cases of coronary heart diseases.

The study’s Lead Author Litsa Lambrakos was quoted by the Times of India as saying: “We can demonstrate an association between daily consumption of sugared beverages and diabetes risk and translate this information into estimates of the current diabetes and cardiovascular diseases that can be attributed to the rise in consumption of these drinks. We want to make the general public more aware of the adverse health outcomes of consuming these drinks over time and help support disease prevention and curb consumption of these drinks.”

According to allheadlinesnews.com, the study also claims that sugar-sweetened drinks, excluding those that are 100% fruit juice, are contributing to the increase in the number of obesity cases in the United States. These beverages have also contributed to the increase in the costs of the country’s health care system.

The study conducted on 19,220 women over 13 years showed the group of non-drinkers gained the most weight, and the women who drank wine (especially red) gained the least amount of weight. The survey was conducted to study the drinking habits of the females and the effect of wine on their bodies.

Spokesperson for the British Dietetic Association Catherine Collins told themedguru.com: “What this survey shows is that moderation is key to a healthy lifestyle. People who drink wine may be more likely to snack on sugary and more calorific treats.”

According to the research findings, women who drink moderate amount of wine are less prone to become stout as compared to the ones who prefer soft drinks or mineral water, the Daily Mail writes.

The research experts concluded that drinking wine does not add fat to the body, instead allow the body to generate heat. According to the lead researcher, Lu Wang, in case of wines the body metabolism works differently as compared to beers.

Perhaps we should forget our strict salad diets and indulge in wine more often.

Celebrities who battled obesity but have lost weight include Sarah Rue, Oprah Winfrey and Kirstie Alley.

Narcolepsy is a disorder affecting the area of the brain, which controls waking and sleeping. It disrupts normal sleeping patterns. The word originates from the Greek word “narke“, which translates as “numbness“, and is officially classed as a dyssomnia, or chronic sleep disorder.

What are the symptoms?

The main symptom of narcolepsy is falling asleep sporadically and unexpectedly – these episodes are called “sleep attacks“. The sleep itself may be different: a narcolepsy sufferer typically experiences REM sleep a third quicker than the average person. Many sufferers also tend to feel excessively drowsy during the day.

According to the BBC and the NHS, around 4 out of 5 narcolepsy sufferers also experience cataplexy, which causes sudden loss of muscular control, often brought on by the feeling of strong emotions such as fear or excitement. Cataplexy may also cause slurred speech, weak legs or even total collapse – in rare cases paralysis has been reported. This can last from seconds to minutes and frequency varies from once or twice per year to several times a day.

Other symptoms of the condition include:

• Disturbed sleep and agitation during the night
• Hallucinations
• Difficulty staying awake
• Temporary muscle paralysis when falling asleep or waking up

The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke reports that symptoms of narcolepsy usually first appear between the ages of 10 and 25. Commonly arising in adolescence, in addition to puberty narcolepsy may follow common conditions such as measles or mumps; or even a traumatic event such as an accident. Unfortunately, because some of the symptoms resemble stereotypical teenage ’laziness’, many people remain undiagnosed until later on in life. When they are diagnosed it is through a comprehensive programme of sleep monitoring and brain wave analysis.

How is it treated?

Much as the symptoms vary from person to person so must the treatment. Tailored therapy may include a range of drugs from a group that stimulates the central nervous system or even antidepressants to counter-act the effects of cataplexy. Lifestyle changes such as scheduled naps throughout the day, eating healthily (including cutting out caffeine) and reducing stress levels may help to control – but not eradicate – narcolepsy.

Famous people with narcolepsy include Franck Bouyer, a French cyclist, and late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

And while many think ageing means becoming frail and ill, they are mistaken, researchers say. Margaret Moore of the CDC says: “I think the old myth was somehow after age 60, 65, there’s just nothing you can do anymore. But really there are lots of things you can do to improve your function [and] and your health well into older age.”

According to alive.com, regular exercise can help maintain body hormones and oxygen functioning, which is essential to build muscle strength in humans.

But exercise isn’t our only fountain of youth: apparently a good amount of optimism and cheer keeps us healthy and feeling better longer too, the research suggests.

Carmel Dyer, geriatrician at the University of Texas Medical School, said: “I’ve been practicing geriatric medicine for almost 20 years, and I’ve notice that my patients who sort of make the best of everything, when there’s lemons they make lemonade…they seem to live longer and happier lives. I think if you’re more optimistic, you’re more positive, you’re going to do better, you’re going to feel better.”

Another recent study has found overweight elderly people live longer.

“They wanted to put stents in my heart three years ago, but I never did anything about it,” he told RadarOnline on Sunday. “Last night at the hospital they wanted to do it right there but my cardiologist in New York said is was too invasive. I used to be on medication for this problem. I never told anyone. And then I stopped taking it, frankly because it made me gain weight and I’m such an a**h*** about being in shape and exercising.”

Michael was rushed to a hospital in Massachusetts after failing a pre-boxing match physical. He was set to fight in a celebrity boxing match, but began feeling intense “pins and needles” in his left arm after the check-up. His blood pressure, RadarOnline reports, was at 170/124. So what’s actually wrong with him?

“I’ve got either a blood clot or a blockage,” Michael said. “They told me, ‘This is a stroke waiting to happen’.”

Though the revelations of the investigations by a forensic pathologist were unclear, the death was assumed to have been an accident primarily caused by drug overdose. However, chances of a suicide attempt were not ruled out. His family and close friends who knew him very well denied all the allegations of a suicide attempt, saying that the comedian was a strong and a stable man. Tanner Colby, co-writer of John Belushi’s biography, said: “John Belushi, deep down, was a stable guy who knew who he was, had a lot of confidence, wasn’t superficial but with no great internal trouble. I think that what happened to him was largely due to fame. For a year and a half, he was as big as Elvis.”

The findings of his autopsy report, although disputed, ruled that the tragedy was an accident. The case, however, re-opened within two months when on June 29, 1982, the National Enquirer reported that Cathy Smith, a member of John’s band, admitted to having injected him with the speedball. After being extradited from Toronto, she was arrested on the charges of first-degree murder and was put behind the bars for 15 months.

Chicago-born actor John Adam Belushi, hit the limelight with his exceptional work on ‘Saturday Night Live’ in 1977, ‘National Lampoon’s Animal House’ and ‘The Blues Brothers’. His brother Jim has also enjoyed success in his comedy career.

Young actor River Phoenix also died after being administered a speedball.

Other celebrities who died too young include Brad Renfro, Chris Farley and John Candy.

Michael’s girlfriend Kate Major reportedly told RadarOnline that Michael, who is in Massachusetts to participate in a ‘Celebrity Boxing Federation’ fight against boxer Todd Poulton, failed he pre-fight physical.

“He had chest pains all day and pains down his left arm,” she told the gossip website, and added she was worried he might have a blood clot that would require a procedure to insert a stent.

RadarOnline has published an exclusive photo of Michael in the ambulance, with Kate by his side. Click here to see it.
