Oh no!

Only a few short days after being admitted into Celebrity Rehab, Jeremy London's wife has been admitted to the hospital.

Sources say that Melissa Cunningham suffered a brain hemorrhage last Sunday and was rushed to a local El Lay hospital. The facility has not released any further information about her condition.

Poor thing!

Here's hoping she pulls through. Stay strong, BB!

He better take it easy!

Bret Michaels is still dealing with side effects after his brain hemorrhage in April and warning stroke.

Janna Elisa, V.P. of Michaels Entertainment says, "He still has pain from the chemical meningitis, short term memory loss and gets fatigued quicker than normal."

But she adds that Bret "feels the music is a powerful healer" so he continues to hit the road!

His doctor finds Bret's recovery amazing! Dr. Zabramski explains:

"Between 15 and 20 percent of patients die as a result of the initial hemorrhage, and only approximately 50 percent of those that survive have a good outcome.

"For anyone to speculate that this was not a life threatening medical emergency is absolutely incorrect. Bret is truly one of the most determined individuals I have ever met when it comes to an attempt at making a full recovery."

Keep up the good work, Bret — but be sure to listen to your body!

Bret Michaels is quite the trooper!

Despite his doctors orders to stay off his feet, the rocker will perform tonight at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Biloxi, MS.

Even though he had a check-up yesterday and was told everything was fine, Bret's doctor says he's still not "100%."

Sources say that precautions are being taken though, saying that "Bret will be slower on stage … not a lot of dancing and will take it easy" as well as making sure there's "medical personnel" in the house just in case.

You should probably listen to your doctors, Bret! You need to take it easy and slow down!

Scary!

Bret Michaels' doctor Joseph Zabramski is claiming that Bret's "warning stroke" that he suffered this week was likely linked to his recent brain hemorrhage and appendectomy.

Both of them can potentially cause blood clots inside of blood vessels, causing the stroke.

But he commends Bret for getting to the hospital so fast so they could diagnose the problem and get him on the mend immediately.

We're still thinking of you, Bret!

He just can't catch a break!

Bret Michaels is back in the hospital after tests show that he has a hole in his heart or a patent foramen ovale!

He was readmitted to the hospital after experience numbness on the left side of his body and when tests were being run, the doctors found the PFO. Dr. Zambramski, Bret's neurosurgeon says:

"There is no doubt that the positive Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) is devastating news to Bret and his family. The good news is that it is operable and treatable and we think we may have diagnosed the problem that caused the Transient Ischemic Attach (TIA) or warning stroke; however we feel it is highly unlikely this is connected to the brain hemorrhage he suffered just a few weeks earlier. Once again it is great that he quickly reacted to the severe numbness and got to the hospital immediately.

"I realize Bret wants to make a full recovery so that he can be active with his family, attempt to attend the finale of Celebrity Apprentice and especially get back on the road to continue making music. Without a doubt he is very determined to get healthy and make a 100% recovery. Medically speaking it is a fantastic attitude both mentally and physically for him to have.

"However, Bret's brain and body are not quite 100% yet, especially with the hole found in his heart. Further tests will be conducted throughout the week and I will have more information next week as to how this Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) will be treated. For now, Bret will be treated with outpatient care which includes a daily injection of Lovenox (a blood thinner to reduce the chance of blood clots) and blood tests."

Get well soon, Bret — you're in our thoughts!

And take it easy and listen to your doctors!

That sounds so scary!

Bret Michaels recounted to Oprah the moment his brain hemorrhage occurred and he knew something "was severely wrong."

"It just exploded instantly — ran from my temple down to the back of my skull," he explained.

Yikes! But Bret did say that despite being scared, he was still wearing his bandanna in the hospital bed.

"I said, 'If I'm going out, I want to go out rockin'!"

Bret will be going back on tour starting in Biloxi, Mississippi on May 28 and he's hoping to appear on the May 23 finale of Celebrity Apprentice as he's still a contender.

What a truly amazing recovery he has made!

Stay well, Bret!

Why trouble the guy? He's been through a huge ordeal and we don't think this will make him feel any better.

Donald Trump has reportedly suggested that Bret Michaels could appear on the Celebrity Apprentice finale slated in two weeks. The Donald explained:

"What he’s done is amazing. He had, essentially, an explosion in his brain and he’s really doing better. He’s having a little bit of a difficult time, but he’s really doing better and I know one thing, I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but he wants to be — in two weeks — on the finale of Celebrity Apprentice. He wants to be there.”

We think you should just let him rest. Yeah, it would get you some ratings, but is that really worth putting the man through a tortuous 2 hours of your crappy reality show?

Think of his poor brain!
