Rocker turned reality TV star Bret Michaels remains in an intensive care unit following a major brain haemorrhage last week.
An update posted on the Poison frontman and Celebrity Apprentice star's official website explains the ailing rocker's condition and prognosis.
"At this point Bret remains in ICU in critical condition. He is under 24 hour doctors' care and supervision.
"We are hopeful that further tests will locate the source of the bleeding, which has still not been located. As we all know Bret is a fighter and we are hopeful that once all is complete the slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness, etc., will be eliminated and all functions will return to normal," reads the post.
Michaels, 47, was rushed to hospital last Thursday after suffering from a headache which he reportedly likened to "getting hit in the head with a baseball bat over and over again," a source tells People.com.
Doctors discovered he suffered a massive subarachnoid haemorrhage (bleeding at the base of his brain stem).
Big, big trouble
Meanwhile, Donald Trump paints a rather worrying picture for the singer's future.
Trump tells website TMZ that the Celebrity Apprentice contestant is fighting for his life, is in "big, big trouble, and the prognosis is not great".
He adds: "He turns out to be an amazing competitor, and ultimately that is the thing that could save his life."
Trump has reportedly kept in close contact with the people at the hospital where Michaels remains under 24-hour supervision.
The odd-coiffed mogul also speculates that the rocker's stage mishap during the 2009 Tony Awards could be linked to his current condition.
A stage backdrop struck Michaels during the awards bash last year.
The singer's reps haven't confirmed Trump's remarks. But whether they're born out of pragmatism or pessimism, it's true to say that Michaels has a battle on his hands.
Strength and honour to you, Michaels.
And now for something completely different...
Coughing fit
Whether she likes it or not,
Dirrty
singer
Christina Aguilera
has a reputation for being a bit of a biatch. And this gem of a video does little to redeem her.
Aguilera's currently pounding the promotional treadmill, pimping her new album
Bionic
.
Here she be, sat on her throne, pontificating about the brilliance of her latest musical output when... she's rudely interrupted by... a cough! We know! How very dare someone rudely interrupt her interview with a repulsive reflex.
"Ugh. Coughing, during my interview, really?" she snipped.
"Shoot him!"
Major bitch-tude or just joking? We can't decide. She's no
Naomi Campbell
though. She has much to learn.
And here's another gem from the video vault.
Plastic Princess
Heidi Montag
paid a hefty price for her recent plastic surgery marathon. It didn't just dent her posh purse; it also affected her ability to chew.
Clap your eyes on this promo for the new series of
The Hills
where Montag and her clan hook up for a spot of lunch and a pep talk.
It's no secret that her daughter's body butchering horrified Montag's mother, and she doesn't pull any punches here.
"How's that burger?" the reality TV star's sister
Holly
asks.
"I can't really chew it," replies Montag.
To which her darling mother strikes back with a catty comeback:
"Do you want me to put it in a blender for you?"
Ouch!
Plastic surgery rocks! Not.
No bambino
You can put those Pumpkin Patch gift vouchers down. You won't need them.
Mariah Carey
is NOT pregnant, according to her rep.
Yep, despite numerous tabloid reports that have repeatedly tried to impregnate the singer, there isn't a mini Mi-Mi in the making.
Her rep tells
Us Weekly
her client is definitely "not pregnant".
But that doesn't mean Mi-Mi has ruled out breeding in the future.
She told
Larry King
back in November: "I cannot do the having-a-child thing halfway," she said.
"I wouldn't be just like, 'Oh, I'm having a child, Yay! Let me get a nanny so I can give her the baby. Take the kid.' That doesn't work for me. I don't believe in that."
Marvellous.
Ooh, and how's about this for gossip. Her indoors and her backstage diva demands appear to have calmed down a tad (sort of).
Gone are the must-have bottles of Cristal champagne with "bendy straws" and tea made with a specific brand of mineral water.

Two vases of white roses, Jo Malone candles, furniture in plain colours and a room at 75 degrees? Yup, still a diva.
