Blind Item #8
This former A list mostly television actor who has permanent A list name recognition despite not being the star of anything non-reality related in a very long time drinks about two liters of vodka a day all measured out into 16 ounce water bottles which he drinks from all day. Apparently at this point his liver is in horrible shape and is going to need a transplant.
Dont hassle the Hoff

ReplyDeleteNice TRY dummy I saw what you wrote lolllllllll *jokesjokes*
ReplyDeleteToo much Travoltage to my brain. #teamadeledazeem
DeleteI hear LohansLiver is available.
ReplyDeleteor sippin on water bottles this weekend
ReplyDeleteLeave my water bottle alone!
ReplyDeleteI miss Bruuuucccccceee! I need a positive troll in my life.
ReplyDeletePeople who destroy their liver through alcohol/drug abuse shouldn't be permitted to receive liver transplants to begin with.
ReplyDeleteReally? So this like "good aids" vs "bad aids"?
DeleteLiver transplant isn't that bad anymore. They take 2/3 of someone's healthy liver and put it in the recipient. The donor has a harder time of it, but their liver grows back in months.
ReplyDeleteHoly Hoff, Batman! I hope he has a donor liver already banked. That's awful.
ReplyDeleteRobert, I could be wrong (wouldn't be the first time TODAY) but I think they take that into consideration when they put you on the donor list. Someone here will correct me.
ReplyDeleteJust to be diffrent because the Hoff still is huge in Germany Mr. Spock Leonard Nimoy.
ReplyDeleteThey aren't supposed to give liver transplants to alcohol abusers but a couple of decades ago they gave one to Mickey Mantle who was a demon drunk and because of who he was got moved up the list. They they later found him with cancer and he died anyway after the transplant.
ReplyDeleteThey get put on the wait list but at a low priority
Delete$$$$ talks when it comes to transplants, everyone else must follow the rules.
ReplyDeleteLarry Hagman was getting replacement parts like Mr Potato Head gets new noses, back in the day. Money and fame, and you can get a orphanage of young donor babies, bred w your own DNA.
ReplyDeleteYou can wait on a list for a liver or solicit a donation on your own. That is what Superstar Billy Graham did a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteI think all you need to match is blood type and be a similar size. Like a 5'2, 120lb dude couldn't donate to a 6'5, 280lb dude. Not enough liver there.
Fascinating article: Did Steve Jobs Steal a Liver?
ReplyDeleteCool. Thanks, 7.
ReplyDelete$$$$$$ talks indeed
ReplyDeleteCaptain Steubing come on down!
ReplyDeleteLarry Hagman had a liver transplant due to alcoholism. Then apparently he had a second one cause he couldn't stop drinking.
ReplyDeleteGeez, and I worry when I have one glass of wine too many!
ReplyDeleteNo donor livers are given to actively drinking alcoholics. Recipients must be in recovery. Of course, nothing stops them from falling off the wagon once they've got their new liver.
ReplyDeletea friend of mine was in the hospital a few years ago, in a semiprivate room with only a curtain separating beds. he could hear every word between and alcoholic in the next bed and the hospital case worker. he was shocked at how blunt the case worker was. it basically boiled down to the case worker telling the alcoholic he has destroyed his liver, and due to his alcoholism would not be put on a transplant list because he would destroy that one too. essentially telling him he's going to die. the guy was pleading for his life and the case worker was tough as nails.

ReplyDeleteThat worker was right, though. Maybe the guy got his shit together after that, but I doubt it.

ReplyDeleteLke Justice in the courts, medical miracles are only available to the very wealthy in America. Poor slobs can rot in jail or die in a charity hospital ward.
