March 11, 2024
Comedian Rip Micheals is already back on the scene after suffering a life-threatening heart attack a few months ago -- because his condition hasn't affected his funny bone.

He's not out of the woods yet ... he survived another heart attack in February following his comeback concert at the Apollo Theater and continues to monitor his vitals closely. Contrary to popular belief, Rip says he suffers from congestive heart failure -- meaning his heart attack was caused by genetics and even had some jokes for his parents for not maximizing their biological options.

March 18, 2024
In a new interview with James Corden, hip-hop icon Dr. Dre revealed he had three strokes while being hospitalized for a brain aneurysm in 2021. In 2021, Dr. Dre was rushed to the ICU at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center after his son and his son’s friend noticed Dre was not himself and just wanted to sleep. Once arriving at the hospital, doctors notified Dre that he had an aneurysm, and now Dre has revealed he also suffered three strokes during his stay at the hospital. When Dre asked doctors what led to his aneurysms and strokes, they could give no answer. Dre also revealed that during his stay at Cedars-Sinai Hospital, his family wasn’t allowed to visit him due to COVID-19 measures. The Grammy award-winning artist told Corden: “I’m at Cedars-Sinai hospital, and they weren’t allowing anybody to come up, meaning visitors or family or anything like that, because of COVID, but they allowed my family to come in. I found out later they called them up so they could say their last goodbyes because they thought I was out of here.”
