Nick Cannon reveals he has autoimmune disease: 'Like a lupus type of thing'

Nick Cannon discussed his ongoing health issues with People, revealing that the kidney failure that put him in the hospital earlier this year was the result of “an autoimmune disease that [doctors] found in my system,” adding that the disease “is like a lupus type of thing, but no one else in my family has it.”

Cannon was hospitalized in January for kidney failure and again, weeks later, for blood clots in his lungs. The America’s Got Talent host stepped down from his live morning radio show in mid-February, citing doctors’ orders.

“The blood clot thing was probably the scariest because… I’ve known people who have passed away from that,” Cannon said at an event in New York. “I thought I was getting better and then that happened, so that kind of came out of nowhere.”

“I’m just trying to make sure I put my health first.”

Three weeks after checking himself into the Betty Ford clinic for substance-abuse issues, 300 star Gerard Butler has left rehab. Butler’s spokesperson told People that the 42-year-old actor has left rehab as he has “completed a successful course of treatment and has returned home in good health,” adding, “We will not be making any further comment at this time.”

TMZ.com reported the news early on Friday and claimed that Butler, who needed to be rescued from a surfing incident while filming the upcoming Of Men and Mavericks, “was relying too much on prescription drugs.” A source alleged he “developed issues with cocaine, but the root problem appears to be the injuries and pain management.”

People also noted that Butler has opened up about his past problems with alcohol abuse and that the actor actively avoided drinking at a Hollywood bash back in November.

Character actor Daniel von Bargen, perhaps best known for his work on television for his turns as Commandant Spangler on Malcolm in the Middle and Kruger on Seinfeld, has been hospitalized after a failed suicide attempt. ABC News reports that von Bargen, who also appeared in supporting roles in films like The Silence of the Lambs and O Brother, Where Art Thou?, attempted to shoot himself in the head with a Colt .38 pistol on Monday.

The 61-year old star, who resides in Montgomery, Ohio, called 911 after the attempt. “I shot myself in the head and… I need help,” he told dispatchers. ABC News also notes that “von Bargen is a diabetic and was supposed to have two of his toes amputated that day.” In the phone call to 911, von Bargen can be heard saying, “I was supposed to go to the hospital today, didn’t want to.” Montgomery Police Sgt. Greg Vondenbenken told ABC News when police arrived at von Bargen’s home five minutes after the call was placed, he was found “seriously injured.” The actor is at Bethesda North Hospital, where his condition is reportedly improving.
