E! Online - Madonna shouldn't open her heart to another adoption, says a British children's charity.
E! Online - Transcripts have been released of the 911 call made while transporting Natasha Richardson to the hospital almost four hours after her fateful skiing accident in Canada.
Happy Birthday to tennis superstar Jennifer Capriati (1976), "Xena: Warrior Princess" star Lucy Lawless (1968), Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson (1964), "Star Trek: TNG" actress Marina Sirtis (1960),


A Canadian newspaper is detailing emergency calls made attempting to save actress Natasha Richardson life. Canada's Globe and Mail newspaper has obtained 911 calls made regarding Richardson's fall earlier this month on the slopes of a Quebec ski resort. According to the newspaper, a medic in an ambulance with Richardson told staff waiting at a Canadian hospital: "I'm arriving with a female in her 40s … [she's] disoriented … It's following … a ski fall that happened at noon. Soon afterward she presents signs of confusion, a concussion." According to the Globe and Mail, paramedics first arrived at the ski resort where Richardson had fallen at 1 p.m. At 1:11 p.m. the medics reported that Richardson had declined treatment. She walked back to her room with her ski instructor, where she later began experiencing a severe headache and 911 was called again later that afternoon at 2:59 p.m. While Richardson was en route to the hospital, the Globe and Mail reports that just before 4 p.m. she was "verbal" according to paramedics. At the time she registered a 12 of 15 on the Glasgow coma scale, which is not ideal but still treatable, according to the newspaper. However, she only scored a 0 on an orientation reading, meaning that she was unaware of the date, where she was, or what had happened. After arriving at the local hospital, Richardson was taken to a Montreal trauma center, arriving at 6:38 p.m. The renowned stage and screen actress would pass away two days later after being taken home to New York.
