Zsa Zsa Gabor has been rushed from her home to a Los Angeles hospital, USA Today reports. The 94-year-old former actress and jet-setter has been in and out of the hospital for months. Her leg was partly amputated in January because of complications from hip-replacement surgery she underwent in July.

The 94-year-old former actress and jet-setter has been in and out of the hospital for months. Her leg was partly amputated in January because of complications from hip-replacement surgery she underwent in July.
According to her rep, John Blanchette, Gabor's blood pressure reached dangerous levels Wednesday as she watched TV coverage of Elizabeth Taylor's death.
Blanchette says Gabor exclaimed, "Oh, Jane Russell and Liz Taylor - I'm next." (Russell died Feb. 28 at 89.)
Blanchette remains optimistic: "She's not going to be the third."
Brown: It was Primal Scream Therapy!
After waiting a respectful, dignified day - during which his new album, F.A.M.E., sold about two gazillion copies - bad boy Chris Brown on Wednesday apologized for his temper tantrum after his tense Good Morning America chat with Robin Roberts
.
Brown chatted with folks on the set of BET's 106 & Park after throwing a blowout record-release party (which, reportedly, involved a great deal of female nudity).
"I want to apologize to anybody who was startled in the office . . . or really disappointed in my actions, because I was disappointed in the way I acted," said Brown.
He said he wasn't given advance notice that Roberts would broach his assault conviction for hitting ex-gf Rihanna. He said talking points sent to him by ABC led him to believe Roberts would ask him only about his CD.
So, Brown said, he felt GMA had misled him. "I took it very, very hard. I kept my composure throughout the whole interview," he said.
Later, off camera, he said, he needed to practice a bit of Primal Therapy: "I just wanted to release the anger inside me. I felt like I worked so hard for this music. . . . I got very emotional."
ABC denies it sent Brown's people a list of talking points: "Chris Brown was invited on Good Morning America to perform and to be interviewed. There were no talking points offered." Roberts says she still wants him back.
Sheen, a man-kiss, and a gun
Police officials in Georgetown, Ga., say they have arrested one David O'Hara for aggravated assault after the man brandished a handgun and threatened to shoot several people in his home, including a 14-year-old girl and O'Hara's gf (name withheld).
The reason? It's all about Charlie Sheen.
Local TV station WBRL reports that O'Hara was watching TV when he suddenly became enraged by the sight of the Two and a Half Men star kissing Jimmy Kimmel on the comic's late-night talk show.
"I am relieved that no one was injured or killed over the disagreement of such a trivial matter as a TV show," says Quitman County Sheriff Steve Newton.
Kate M.? A lovely girl! Lovely!
Prince William's fiancee, Kate Middleton, has a big fan at the palace: Her father-in-law-to-be Prince Charles' second wife, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall.
"Kate's a lovely girl," British tabloid the Express quotes Camilla as saying during a visit to the Covent Garden Academy of Flowers in London. "We're very lucky. I'm very much looking forward to the wedding."
Camilla says she's proud that her granddaughter, Eliza Lopes, has been chosen as a bridesmaid: "She's only 3, and it will be quite nerve-racking for a little one. But she will enjoy it."
Their 15 minutes . . . and then some
Instant fame is a wild 'n' wacky, a surreal and freaky phenomenon, says Camilla Luddington
.
Who? That'd be the actor who will play Kate Middleton in William & Kate, Lifetime's TV biopic about Kate's whirlwind romance with her prince, Prince William. Camilla tells PopEater.com that on the very day - perhaps the very hour - Lifetime picked her to play Kate, a rabid pack of reporters stormed her home.
Nico Evers-Swindell, who plays the fairy-tale prince, says that an ugly, voracious media mob rushed the pair at an early script reading:
"They were taking snaps and demanding interviews. It was funny. . . . It gave me a very visceral feeling of what their world must be like, albeit a very minor one," he says.
The flick will air April 18.
Celebs who love too much . . .
Not to impugn other practitioners of the witching arts of gossip, but we are tired of that oft-used phrase getting cozy, as in this PopEater.com headline: "Ashley Greene Seen Getting Cozy with Chris Evans." It means zip! I've known folks who are cozy with pets; I've had a cozy time with a book, a film, the fireplace.
PopEater cites an E!Online report that claims Ashley, she of the lovely, flirty Twilight fangs, was "all over" the next Captain America at a West Hollywood hot spot. Was there sex?
Meanwhile, People says Renée Zellweger's recently ex'd lover, Bradley Cooper, is busy licking his emotional wounds at various New York spots - with jovial help from Hangover costar Zach Galifianakis. Is Bradley A Man Who Can Cry? Zach may know, but he's not saying.
