Dennis Hopper goes to hospital

By FRAZIER MOORE (AP) – 51 minutes ago

NEW YORK — Dennis Hopper, in town to publicize his TV series "Crash," was taken to a hospital after developing flulike symptoms.

Sheila Feren said that the 73-year-old star of "Easy Rider" and "Blue Velvet" was being examined at an unidentified New York hospital Wednesday afternoon after complaining of stomach ailments usually associated with the flu.

Hopper was forced to cancel a number of interviews and TV appearances, including The Associated Press, "Today" and "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," where he was replaced by Jack McBrayer of "30 Rock."

2. Let him breathe through the mask a few times...

...he'll be as good as new.



All the best, Mr. Hopper.

3. Too much amyl nitrite.

Either that or too much...PABST BLUE RIBBON! :beer:

4. As someone who lived the life of the hippie and then sold out in his old age - fuck him.

In his instance, I think all the drugs he did in that earlier stage of his life did destroy his brain.

How else to explain his trip to the dark side?
