Zsa Zsa Gabor rushed to hospital with no blood flow in leg, rep says
Source: cnn

(CNN) -- Actress Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed by ambulance to a Los Angeles hospital Wednesday after suffering a shutdown of blood flow to her left leg, according to her publicist.

Gabor's press representative, John Blanchette, told CNN that Gabor has been sent to UCLA Medical Center. Blanchette said he had no further information about her condition.

It is the second time, Gabor, 94, has taken an emergency trip to hospital since February 1, when she was transported by ambulance because she was spitting blood. Gabor, the previous month, had part of her right leg amputated because of an infection.

2. CNN: "Spitting blood"...now that's real journalism...
there are many euphemisms for blood loss via the mouth - the one they used is really a low-class insensitive example. Locally here in Philly, we've seen news stories about, say, a street crime wherein the individual who has been arrested is referred to as a 'thug' or 'criminal' even prior to charges being filed, much less a conviction. The use of the word 'alleged' is often overlooked, so to speak, and far be it from me to expect any reasonable attempt at accuracy or fairness or even law, since the article could be used by the defense to show that the defendant was tried and convicted in the Press, thus poisoning the jury pool.

10. Her husband Prince Frederic von Anhalt sounds like a dickhead
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2011/02/zsa-zsa-gabor-home-burglary.html

Von Anhalt estimates that the thieves stole about $100,000 in camera equipment and artwork, including two German-made statues he and Gabor bought while on their honeymoon in Munich 25 years ago.

“My wife was very upset about the statues. She was crying,” he said. “What can I say, I don’t know if she knew what was going on, but it upset her very much.”

Von Anhalt said the burglary also “totally screwed up” his weekend and caused him to miss several post-Oscars parties. “I’m going shopping right now,” he said Monday. “I’m doing OK. Lots of work, but no fun.”
