Jack Osbourne has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS). He was given the diagnosis a mere two weeks after the April 24th birth of his daughter with fiancé Lisa Stelly, Pearl Clementine. MS affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, the internal communication of those cells becomes less effective. The disease differs from patient to patient. An MS patient can have almost any neurological symptom, such as muscle weakness, numbness, loss of sensitivity, difficulties regarding balance and coordination, visual problems, difficulty swallowing and/or speaking. Cognitive symptoms are also possible, such as depression and an unstable mood. The life expectancy of an MS patient is 5-10 years less than the average population.

Jack told People Magazine of the diagnosis, "I was just angry and frustrated and kept thinking, 'Why now? I've got a family and that's what's supposed to be the most important thing.'"

Robbie Williams has severe food poisoning

Robbie Williams tweeted this photo of himself from his sickbed, drip and all.

"Hey folks. Thank you for your messages and love. I'm not completely out of the woods yet but feeling much better," that's what Robbie Williams wrote his fans from his sickbed. Robbie is with Take That in Denmark for two concerts, but after eating grilled Danish black lobster with lobster salad and saffron aioli Robbie got severe food poisoning. This caused Take That to have to cancel their second concert. Luckily, the former boyband had already given their first performance. Nevertheless, Robbie feels awful for having to cancel the second performance at the Parken Stadium in Copenhagen, he wrote on his blog, "Feeling dreadful for letting the fans down. I'm so, so sorry. Here's me and my drip," the message was accompanied by the photo above.

A source tells The Sun that "Jason and Mark wanted to go ahead and do it without him [Robbie], so as not to let down the fans. But there was something to do with the insurance that stopped them."

I hope that Robbie gets well soon and that the Danish Take That fans will be able to see them perform again!
