In Bali, fortune-teller from 'Eat Pray' is ill

BALI, Indonesia - The Balinese fortuneteller featured in Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling memoir "Eat Pray Love" has been hospitalized because of a heart ailment - just days before a movie adaptation starring Julia Roberts hits U.S. theaters, his doctor said yesterday.

Ketut Liyer, 96, has become a celebrity in his village of Ubud since the book came out in 2006.

Tourists and locals have flocked to his house on Indonesia's resort island of Bali so he could read their palms. "He is exhausted by all of this," said his granddaughter, Wayan Puspita Sari. "It may have affected his health."
