What do you do if you're a celebrity and your husband is laid up in the hospital? Tweet about it! Which is exactly what Mariah Carey did. The singer announced via Twitter this morning that her hubby, Nick Cannon, is currently on the mend after suffering from "mild kidney failure." Along with the update, Carey uploaded a photo of herself with Cannon from inside his Aspen, Colorado hospital room. Furthermore, the starlet commented about the situation on her official site, writing, "We're trying to be as festive as possible under the circumstances but please keep Nick in your thoughts because this is very painful," adding, "We're doing OK but we're stranded in Aspen. I know we could be in a lot worse places, but the truth is as long as we're together, we're OK." Here's to a speedy recovery! - US, Twitter, Mariah Carey
- James Franco goes by many titles: actor, producer, grad student, Oscar host -- and now the infamous multi-tasker is set to add one more title to his ever-growing list: novelist. According to the New York Observer, Franco sold his first novel, Actors Anonymous, loosely based on his own life, to Amazon Publishing. If you remember, this isn't Franco's first work of fiction (thought it is his first novel). The actor released a book of short stories called Palo Alto back in June. Charge your kindles and nooks accordingly. - New York Observer
