Mitch Winehouse has rubbished claims that his daughter Amy went to hospital the other day for a cold .

Mitch said: “It wasn’t because she had a cold. She’s fine, she just had a little (pointing to his chest) leaky something or other.”

A friend of Amy’s adds: “She saw something oozing out on to her top. She was worried as they looked wonky and to see stuff seeping out was horrible.

She’s only had those things for one month! That’s what happens when you shop the clearance rack at Crazy Eddie’s House of Titties. It’s like Loehmann’s, but with a better dressing room.

Nicole Richie has checked herself into a Los Angeles hospital.

A rep for the star tells Usmagazine.com, “Nicole has checked into Cedars-Sinai where she is being treated for pneumonia. She is doing well.”

Cripes, it’s a good thing this didn’t happen in 2005, when she weighed 86 pounds. She now has slightly more body mass with which to fight off disease, plus modern medicine has improved in leaps and bounds since then, and now one simple pill can evict the Flubber-like family of crass green blobs that have turned your alveoli into a hostel.

P.S. Holy shit! Stories about Paris and Nicole at the top of the blog! Oh, nostalgia! Now we just have to drag Sisqo out of retirement.

Mischa Barton was so high on coke following a marathon three-day bender that friends called cops afraid she would kill herself, sources have told The Post.

A source close to Barton said, "She's in very bad shape. She's running out of money and can't find love, so now she is looking for a good time to escape her misery. She is on a downward spiral. She is a mess. She is a suicidal, uninsurable mess."

Christ, that's sad. Almost as sad as that one episode of Empty Nest when dog went missing. Oh, Dreyfuss, you zany pooch! We love you even if you are a handful!

Michael suffered a cardiac arrest earlier this afternoon at his Holmby Hills home and paramedics were unable to revive him. We're told when paramedics arrived Jackson had no pulse and they never got a pulse back.

A source tells us Jackson was dead when paramedics arrived.

LaToya ran in the hospital sobbing, after Jackson was pronounced dead.

Michael is survived by three children: Michael Joseph Jackson, Jr., Paris Michael Katherine Jackson and Prince "Blanket" Michael Jackson II.

Christ on a cracker! What the hell is going on today? Sky Saxon from The Seeds dies. Then our lovely Farrah Fawcett rides off to heaven on the waves of her feathered hair. We know bad stuff comes in threes, but Michael Jackson? No, we're putting our foot down. NO MORE CELEBRITY DEATHS TODAY. TMZ says:

We've just learned Michael Jackson was taken by ambulance to a hospital in Los Angeles … and we're told it was cardiac arrest and that paramedics administered CPR in the ambulance.

He was picked up at his home around 20 minutes ago — we're told his mother is on the way to visit him.

UPDATE: The 911 call came in at 12:21PM at his Holmby Hills home in L.A.

UPDATE: A Jackson family member tells TMZ Michael is in "really bad shape" and the brothers are headed to UCLA.

UPDATE: We just got off the phone with Joe Jackson, Michael's dad, who says "he is not doing well."

Frankly we're feeling a little misty and tenderhearted so you can just write your own joke here, okay? Something about a sparkly glove, Bubbles, Jesus juice, barbershop dong, something something, blah blah, kid-touching. There, that should do it.

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton is accusing Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.I.Am of assault — but we've learned cops have targeted someone else.

But cops in Toronto tell us it was the general manager of the Black Eyed Peas — Polo Molina — who is under investigation and he turned himself in to police early this morning.

It is worth noting that after this alleged brutal assault rendering Hilton bloody and injured, he called 911 immediately. Haha, just joshing you. He Twittered it.

It's awesome that technology has advanced so much that the youth of America now has no idea how to pick up a phone and call the police or an ambulance. Go steal a 20-year-old's wallet and he'll frantically Tweet it, write on Tumblr about it, make a Facebook quiz about it, and then get pissed off that the cops didn't file a report because they don't subscribe to his RSS feed.

TMZ has learned VH1 reality star Daisy de la Hoya was rushed to the hospital early this morning after paramedics responded to a 911 call for a "possible overdose."

A source close to the situation says friends called 911 after they heard Daisy making strange noises in her friend's Hollywood Hills home. When firefighters and medics came to the house, sources tell us Daisy was acting "crazy" — yelling, screaming and thrashing around. It took multiple emergency personnel to get Daisy into the ambulance. We're told Daisy is currently receiving treatment at a Los Angeles area hospital.

Hours before the incident, TMZ cameras caught Daisy looking really, really out of sorts on her way out of Les Deux nightclub in Hollywood.

UPDATE: We've learned that Daisy's appearances for this weekend, which were booked by her agent, Mike Esterman have been postponed at this time. They hope to re-schedule in the near future.

A rep for Daisy tells us, "Daisy was taken to the ER early this morning suffering from delirium as a result of exhaustion. There was no overdose. She is fine this evening and resting comfortably. No further details are being released at this time."

Frankly, we don't believe any of this horseshit. We think her lips and tits just finally took on personalities and lives of their own and began to battle each other for control of the physical body. "Only one can be the victor!", the lips said, brandishing a broadsword with all the deftness of a cavalryman in the English Civil War. "Aye, but you'll be the one to depart this mortal coil, villifer," sneered the tits, squaring up for fighting. "Shut up, we're trying to sleep over here," cried the genital warts.

EVEN going to hospital doesnít slow down AMY WINEHOUSE ó the singer went straight from her St Lucia sickbed to a bar.

After collapsing from ìdehydrationî at her holiday villa on Thursday, Wino spent a night under observation.

But as soon as doctors gave her the all-clear, off she went boozing at the plush Le Sport resort for much of the weekend.

DUH! She was hospitalized for dehydration. And alcohol is wet. And wetness cures dehydration. She was obviously attending to her health and well-being, which are very important to her.
