While you were drinking...

Here’s your update on what happened in the music and entertainment world while you were out enjoying your weekend.

Amy Winehouse was hospitalized (shocker!)

Okay, so it’s no big surprise, really that Wino fainted in St. Lucia. Apparently, she was running around with some kids when she collapsed. She was taken to the hospital and diagnosed with “dehydration.” Doctors told her to take it easy and drink more water. I’m thinking that dehydration is doctor-speak for hangover, but everyone knows that yellow Gatorade is the best cure for the morning-after, Amy.

There was a fire at 50’s baby momma’s house

A “suspicious” house fire apparently burned to the ground the house of 50 Cent’s baby momma, Shaniqua Tompkins. Police are saying there is, however, no evidence connecting the rapper to the fire.

David Cook’s brother lost his battle with brain cancer

David Cook, the uber-successful American Idol alum’s brother died this weekend, losing his battle with brain cancer. He was only 37. Cook spent the next day running in the Race for Hope 5K in Washington, D.C., which benefits brain cancer research. 

Maggie Gyllenhaal got married

The actress got hitched to her boyfriend Peter Sarsgaard in a small secret ceremony in Italy. Her brother Jake and his girlfriend Reese Witherspoon were there. Wonder if they’re next?
