Keep your thoughts positive!

Former South African president Nelson Mandela has been hospitalized due to another lung infection. He is currently in serious but stable condition.

The 94-year-old, first black president of South Africa suffered as his "condition deteriorated and he was transferred to a Pretoria hospital," the office of South African President Jacob Zuma reports.

The office of the current president has released a statement:

"The former President is receiving expert medical care and doctors are doing everything possible to make him better and comfortable. President Jacob Zuma, on behalf of government and the nation, wishes Madiba a speedy recovery and requests the media and the public to respect the privacy of Madiba and his family."

He has previously been hospitalized with lung infections in December 2012 and as recently as March 2013.

We hope Nelson is able to make it through this hospitalization!

Our thoughts and prayers are with him!

Outside of Olympia, Washington a homeless man's life may have been saved by his faithful dog, Buddy!

One afternoon, the homeless man found he was unable to move, stuck laying on the floor of his makeshift home in the woods.

He wrote a note for help and put it into his dog's harness then sent him out.

Lance Armstrong just doesn't seem like a very good guy to anyone anymore, and that's before we heard that he turned his back on his dying father, who was asking forgiveness.

Asking for forgiveness? Sound familiar, Lance??

According to Lance's stepmother, Rebecca Gunderson:

How convenient.

But isn't it always with the one and only Lindsay Lohan?

Rumor has it that Miz LiLo will miss yet another mandated court appearance tomorrow, claiming that she's too ill to appear in front of Judge Stephanie Saunter for her crimes. A Park Avenue doc has diagnosed Lilo with an upper respiratory infection, and insists that a flight across the country would be detrimental to her health.

… and we're just waiting to hear Judge Stephanie respond with, "Show me the receipts doctor's note!"

Because here is the thing

Uh oh!

We all know that One Direction's heartthrob Harry Styles loves his tattoos, but could the boy band crooner be causing some serious damage???

While Styles has had most of his tattoos done professionally — as we've seen him spotted at tattoo parlors — it sounds like he's also been putting his health on the line!

Reportedly, Harry's been having his friend tatt him up with cheap DIY kits, which could leave him susceptible to infections like hepatitis and TB!

It even sounds like Harry's tattoo artist, Kevin Paul, has tried to tell him to stop and has even warned him of these dangers, but he has chosen not to listen!

Oh man… that doesn't sound good! While tatts may look cool, there's definitely some health risks that go along with them!

We hope Harry wises up and quits the homemade ink sessions!

Nelson Mandela has been discharged from the hospital!

Apparently the former South Africa President will be returning to his Houghton home, where he will continue to receive medical care — so while he's out of the hospital, he isn't out of the woods. He was diagnosed with a lung infection and underwent gallstone surgery.

Lung problems are par-for-the-course for Nelson, having even had TB before!

We hope he gets better soon!
