Demi Moore is out of the hospital after her 911 call to the emergency room, and more details have emerged about what put her there in the first place.

While sources say that she had been doing nitrous oxide and was treated accordingly at the hospital, the 911 recording reveals more. The caller said that Moore

“…smoked something –- it’s not marijuana, but it’s similar to, it’s similar to incense -– and she appears to be having convulsions of some sort.”

Many have speculated that what she smoked was “spice,” a synthetic drug that mimics the effects of marijuana.

Assuming this is true, you’ve just got to wonder why a celebrity like Demi Moore would bother taking fake drugs.  She’s got plenty of money to buy whatever she wants, and plenty of people to go out and get it for her, so…seriously?

Although it’s unclear whether Moore is actually in a rehab center being treated for “exhaustion” as her rep stated, E! Online reported yesterday that she’s receiving “spiritual counseling.”   She’s been a longtime student of  Kabbalah, so perhaps that’s where she’s turning at this time.

Following an emergency trip to the hospital on Monday night, Demi Moore is seeking treatment for exhaustion and stress, says her rep.

People quotes the rep’s statement:

“Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health…She looks forward to getting well and is grateful for the support of her family and friends.”

TMZ‘s sources say that “professional assistance” actually means “rehab” and “exhaustion and stress” actually means “substance abuse.”  I suppose sufficient substance abuse would, in fact, lead to exhaustion and stress, so perhaps those are perfectly apt euphemisms.

Moore announced she was filing for divorce from her husband Ashton Kutcher in November 2011.

Faced with a diagnosis of breast cancer, E! TV host Giuliana Rancic elected to have a double mastectomy two weeks ago.  On Friday, she opened up to The Today Show‘s Matt Lauer about her surgery experience and her recovery.

“I knew this was going to be a tough surgery, but I in no way want to minimize it.  Yes, I’m two and a half weeks out, but up until a week and a half ago it was hell. It was horrible.”

Rancic explained that she had a bad reaction to the drugs given to her to minimize her pain.

“I went into surgery at 4 PM and got out around 9:30 PM.  By 4 AM I had to get off the morphine because I was so sick and I thought to myself, ‘[If you throw up] you have to engage all of your chest muscles,’ and I just had my chest operated on.”

She admits she has been relying heavily on her husband, Bill Rancic, to help her following the operation.

“I can’t really turn much to put my seatbelt on.  He has to help me get in and out of bed, get dressed…it’s a lot of limited mobility and pain.”

Despite it all, she continues to stay positive, saying that now she’s “feeling great.”

The treacherous waves of Half Moon Bay in Northern California held Gerard Butler underwater on Sunday and sent the actor to the hospital after his brush with the deadly currents.

Butler, 42, was on the water filming Of Men and Mavericks when he was struck by a large set of waves that broke and held the actor under for two large wave cycles, crashing him into some rocks.

Pro surfers Greg Long, Zach Wormhoudt and Peter Mei were also with Butler, paddling out to sea on their boards. The group was trying to avoid a set of 15 foot waves when the next set broke in front of them.

Butler was rescued by a safety patrol on a jet-ski and brought to Stanford Medical Center for observation.

“He had that 100-yard stare that surfers get after a two-wave hold-down or near-death experience,” ESPN writer Frank Quiarte reported.

Butler was released and will make a full recovery.

The Mavericks, as the waves are known, are a very dangerous set and have killed or given near-death experiences to many seasoned surfers.

Of Men and Mavericks is the Hollywood production based on surfer Jay Moriarty’s life.

Giuliana Rancic is recovering and “doing well” after undergoing surgery on Tuesday.

The E! News host had a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery performed this week after radiation treatment and lumpectomies failed to eradicate her breast cancer.

Rancic’s cancer was discovered when she was asked by her fertility doctor to take a precautionary breast exam earlier this year as part of the in vitro fertilization pre-screening process.

Her husband, Bill Rancic told E! News his wife was progressing well after the operation.

“G is doing really well,” he said. “Her surgery lasted about four hours and the doctors were very pleased with the result.”

Although he said she felt more pain than expected, Bill said she’s “already cracking jokes.”

Giuliana has tried to maintain a positive attitude throughout her illness and hopes to have better self-steem by the end.

‘Mastectomy’ the word seemed so scary to me at first. After doing research and seeing the advancements, the surgery has come a long way from 20 years ago,”she said.

“The results can be incredible. Not only can it save your life, but you can come out feeling healthier and with a positive self-image.”

Giuliana Rancic has decided to have a double mastectomy and reconstructive surgery next week.

The E! Fashion Police co-host has already had a double lumpectomy and radiation but not all the cancerous cells were able to be removed, prompting her to choose the mastectomy.

Giuliana told The Wendy Williams Show she believed she would feel better about herself after it was all done.

“Listen, I love my girls, but I’m gonna feel more like a woman when this is all done,” Rancic said.

She also shared she feels “scars are beautiful. I think scars tell a story.”

The 37 year-old found out she had breast cancer while undergoing screening tests for in vitro fertilization. She and her husband, Bill Rancic have been trying to have a child for a while with her first time sadly ending in miscarriage.

Bill and Giuliana appeared on The Today Show and he said the couple is hoping for a holiday free of cancer and surgeries.

“Our goal is to be done with this by Christmastime and not look back,” he said.

Giuliana is keeping her spirits up and has an upbeat attitude for the outcome.

“It’s important to me to get the cancer out…” she said. ‘Mastectomy’ the word seemed so scary to me at first. After doing research and seeing the advancements, the surgery has come a long way from 20 years ago.”

“The results can be incredible. Not only can it save your life, but you can come out feeling healthier and with a positive self-image.”

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards has checked into rehab for alcohol abuse and “other problems” according to reports.

The 47 year-old reality show participant is at an undisclosed treatment facility working on her issues and it’s been revealed, this isn’t the first time she’s sought help.

“Kim has been to rehab more than once before,” a source tells People magazine, “but every time is a new time, and everyone just hopes this sticks and that she gets the help she needs. It’s serious.”

Adding to her problems, Kim may be homeless. Richards is no longer living with her boyfriend Ken, whom Kim was recently seen moving in with on the BRAVO show. She was staying with various friends before entering the rehab facility.

Richards erratic behavior was called out by her sister, Kyle Richards, on the finale of season 1 of the show.

After fighting with Kyle during a party, the two continued their argument in the back of a limo where Kyle screamed at Kim:

“You’re an alcoholic! Yeah, that’s right. I’ve said it and now everybody knows!”

This season, when Kim was slurring her words and appeared intoxicated during a trip with fellow housewife Adrienne Maloof and her husband Paul Nassif, she later confessed to taking multiple anti-anxiety and anti-seizure medications. Nassif cautioned Richards that the combination could be why it looked like she was drunk.

Boxing legend Muhammad Ali spent a few days in an Arizona hospital last month, it has been reported.  Shortly before Thanksgiving, he fell unconscious at his home in Paradise Valley, Arizona, and was rushed to the hospital after his wife called 911.

Ali, who suffers from Parkinson’s Disease and other health issues, was treated for dehydration at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Medical Center.   Radar Online speculated last week that Ali’s health is seriously failing, but a friend denied that this was the case, saying that the boxer is now:

“…home and well… I don’t think he stayed very long.  He may not be going in the direction you or I like but no one is on the alert.”

Despite this setback, Ali intends to be in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky next month to celebrate his 70th birthday.

Adele is “doing well” after her throat surgery and the British soul singer let her fans in on the good news.

The “Rolling in the Deep” chanteuse underwent laser throat surgery at Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital to repair a vocal cord hemorrhage and the procedure was successful.

“Sorry I haven’t written for a while. Thank you for all your positive thoughts and get well wishes,” Adele posted on her website.

“I’m doing really well, on the mend, super happy, relaxed and very positive with it all. The operation was a success and I’m just chilling out now until I get the all clear from my doctors.”

Adele, 23, had to cancel all her appearances and singing engagements for the rest of 2011. She was rumored to have throat cancer but her reps were quick to dismiss the more serious illness.

With the operation over, Adele also wanted to send out a message of gratitude to her fans.

“Thank you to everyone who voted for the awards I’ve won recently as well,” she wrote. “Hugely appreciated. I best get back to practicing my mime show now. Take care, miss you all.”

Clearly her sense of humor is still intact!

Mariah Carey revealed her amazing weight loss at the Four Seasons Hotel in New York City and announced she is the new Brand Ambassador (spokesperson) for Jenny – the new name for Jenny Craig weight loss system.

Carey, 42, who gave birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe in April this year, says that she felt trapped by her own body and wants to help others having a difficult time losing weight.

“Physically, putting on all that weight for me was so difficult and so dehabilitating,” Carey says.”I mean, for people who have struggled with this their whole lives, I feel for them so much more now just as a human being, that I want to do something that helps.”

The singer was also troubled through her pregnancy with gestational diabetes, edema and preeclampsia.

Carey said she initially lost some water weight after giving birth but in July, she focused on the Jenny plan of 1,500 calories a day and working out three times a week to get her body back.

“I worked like a fiend,” she said.

Mariah will also lend a song she wrote – “Make It Happen” – to the commercials she will feature in touting the company. Carey and Jenny are also working with the American Heart Association‘s new initiative My Heart My Life.
