No heart attack
Conservative talk radio show host Rush Limbaugh said Friday that tests show nothing wrong with his heart after chest pains hospitalized him earlier this week.
Limbaugh said at a Honolulu news conference that he was being released from The Queen’s Medical Center, where he was rushed Wednesday during a vacation. Doctors said he did not have a heart attack or heart disease.
Asked whether he was taking painkillers, Limbaugh said no. His medical problems have attracted attention in the past. In 2003, he acknowledged an addiction to pain killers for severe back pain and took a five-week leave from his radio show to enter rehab.
Limbaugh couldn’t resist a few political comments in the short press conference at the hospital. He said he got the best health treatment in the world “right here in the United States of America.”
“I don’t think there’s one thing wrong with the United States health system,” Limbaugh said.
Diddy wants dollars
The company behind Sean “Diddy”Combs’ clothing line says it has a looming problem at its flagship New York City store – a scaffold that has been hanging over the shop for more than three years. The company behind the rap impresario’s Sean John label sued its Manhattan landlord on Wednesday. The company, Christian Casey LLC, says the scaffold obscures the Fifth Avenue store’s window displays, discouraging shoppers and cutting revenue in half. The company wants at least $2.5 million in damages from its landlord and freedom from its more than $660,000-a-year lease.
Tyson wins a round
Mike Tyson and a photographer won’t face charges after their scuffle last month at Los Angeles International Airport, city prosecutors said Thursday.
The decision prompted authorities in Arizona to say they won’t pursue any probation violations against Tyson in a 2007 drug case.
Los Angeles prosecutors found insufficient evidence to charge Tyson or photographer Tony Echeverria after they were arrested on Nov. 11, spokesman Frank Mateljan said.
Echeverria said a blow by the former heavyweight champion knocked him to the ground, and he was treated for a cut on his forehead.
Tyson was traveling with his family when he was mobbed by photographers. His attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said at the time that Tyson was protecting his infant daughter after Echeverria collided with her stroller.
