Frankie Muniz recovering from “mini stroke” Reuters
NEW YORK - “Malcolm in the Middle” star Frankie Muniz tweeted that he was hospitalized Friday for a “mini-stroke.” “I was in the hospital last Friday. I suffered a ‘Mini Stroke,’ which was not fun at all. Have to start taking care of my body! Getting old!” wrote the actor, who turns 27 on Wednesday. The “Malcolm in the Middle” star
now plays drums for the band Kingsfoil, and has tweeted details of the band’s upcoming dates since the hospitalization. A representative for Muniz did not immediately respond to a email inquiring about the nature of the “mini stroke,” its cause, and Muniz’s current condition. In February 2011, Phoenix police were called to the home of Muniz and his girlfriend, who told officers that the actor had struck her and put a gun to his own
head, possibly with suicidal intent. After finding no signs of injury, police confiscated Muniz’s .380 semi-automatic gun and issued disorderly-conduct warnings to Muniz and his girlfriend. They said the incident wouldn’t be investigated further. Muniz’ rep denied at the time that he had struck his girlfriend or was suicidal. Muniz told police the gun was not loaded and that he had picked up its case, but not the gun itself.

Chris Brown Starting “New Chapter” on Twitter Chris Brown’s Twitter is no longer empty. The “Don’t Wake Me Up” singer, 23, wrote his first tweets after reinstating his account earlier this week. “Carpe diem,” Brown tweeted Monday, Dec. 3. The following day he expanded on that thought, adding, “Time to start fresh. New Chapter.”
Her fighting spirit inspires fighters

The R&B star shut down his Twitter and deleted all of his previous tweets on Nov. 25 following an explicit fight with comedian Jenny Johnson. In the Twitter war, Johnson called the R&B star a “piece of s--t” and Brown called her a “thirsty bitch.” In an interview with XXL magazine (before his Twitter war with Johnson occurred), Brown, who’s reunited with ex-girlfriend Rihanna, said he’s “smartened up” and is more mature now -- especially when it comes to using social media. “I used to use my Twitter account to vent, but now I mostly use it for marketing and promotions,” he explained. “Even if the media asks me something, if it’s cool then it’s, ‘What’s up?’ But if it’s anything that’s too negative, I don’t care to.

LOS ANGELES — Anderson Cooper says a reporting assignment turned into a temporary blindness scare. On his talk show Tuesday, Cooper said he was in Portugal last week working on a story for “60 Minutes” and spent two hours on the water. The newsman says that later, he developed a burning sensation in his eyes and lost sight for 36 hours. Showing a photo he took of himself with an eye patch, Cooper joked it would be his new online dating picture. On a more serious note, Cooper said he wanted to warn viewers about the risk. Dr. Nancy Snyderman, chief medical correspondent for NBC News, explained to Cooper he had suffered a retina burn. Snyderman cautioned that “everybody needs sunglasses,” adding that protection from the sun can prevent cataracts later in life. Photo by John Shearer/Invision/AP
DENPASAR - Prolonged follow-up to findings of the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) stating there was costliness reaching billions of rupiahs in the Bali Province was firmly addressed by Dr. H. Rizal Djalil, Chairman of the BPK RI for East Region. When met in Nusa Dua on Tuesday (Dec 4), he asserted the finding was final. On that account, the findings should be followed up as recommended by the BPK. Otherwise, it could kindle a legal problem.
As reported earlier, the BPK Bali noted a number of costliness in the procurement of several goods and services in Bali Province resulting in state losses up to tens of billions of rupiahs. However, the Bali government denied the findings on the costliness because there were differences in perception because Bali government had its own calculation stating if the findings were not overpriced. Against the rebuttal of Bali government, Dr. H. Rizal Djalil confirmed if the findings should be followed up. “These findings are final and must be followed up,” he said when met amidst the Coordination Meeting of the
BPK RI, Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK), Criminal Investigation Police, Attorney General, regents/mayors across East Indonesia in Nusa Dua on Tuesday. It meant there was no opportunity for Bali government to deny and take selfcalculation because the report of BPK was final. He also emphasized that pursuant to the Act the BPK had the authority to determine whether or not there were state losses, not the regional government because the institution was the part of government that should be examined.
