Feb 13 2009Usher's wife suffered cardiac arrest prior to liposuction
Usher's wife Tameka Raymond suffered a cardiac arrest last weekend forcing the singer to scrap his Grammy appearances and fly to Brazil. She was having liposuction performed just two months after giving birth to their second son when things went wrong. People reports:
"Tameka Raymond came here on Friday to do a liposuction. Shortly after she went under [general] anesthesia, she suffered a cardiac arrest," Dasptry tells PEOPLE.
Raymond never had the liposuction. According to Dasptry, after her cardiac arrest, Raymond was immediately revived and placed in an induced coma.
"When an attack like this happens, the doctors put the patient to sleep... and make sure that everything is okay and that there has not been any damage," explains Dasptry. "This is the protocol every time and this is what was done."
Tameka is doing "very well," according to the doctor who shot down criticisms that two months after giving birth is too soon for liposuction:
But Dasptry says Raymond met with her Brazilian surgeon Feb. 6 to undergo tests and was determined to be "in good health." "In plastic surgery all over the world, there is no rule that says a woman can't have plastic surgery performed two months after childbirth," says Dasptry.
You know who'd say something like that? A doctor who'll help me fulfill my dream of becoming a centaur. Get me on the next flight to Brazil.

Oct 29 2008Tara Reid claims media victimization
You know how Tara Reid's stomach looks like it's made of Silly Putty that's been viciously stretched by a psychotic child? You know whose fault that is? The medically licensed butcher who operated on her? Uh-uh; it's the media. People magazine reports:
Tara Reid has a message for anyone wishing to criticize her body: Enough already!
After unflattering bikini shots of her surfaced last week, Reid faced a barrage of Internet attacks aimed at her post-surgery figure. "I've been a media target for years now," the actress, 33, tells PEOPLE. "It does hurt my feelings, but what can I do? I have to move on."
That's right; Tara Reid is a media target. Anyone who read the New York Times' Page One story, "Gov't Says Tara Reid Hiding WMD in the Hollows In Her Fucked-Up Ass Cheeks" knows that. And just yesterday, Sean Hannity was demanding to know the full extent of the relationship between Tara Reid's stomach and William Ayers. It's all been a fiendish plot to sabotage her acting career and destroy any chance she has of winning an Oscar. Damn you, fourth estate!
