Kelsey Grammer out of hospital

Los Angeles – The publicist for Kelsey Grammer says the actor has returned home from the hospital, four days after suffering a mild heart attack.

Stan Rosenfield said Thursday that the “Cheers” and “Frasier” star is resting comfortably at his home in Kona on Hawaii’s big island. He says Grammer thanks those who called and wrote expressing concern.

Grammer was paddle-boating with his wife, Camilla, on Saturday when he experienced symptoms and was taken to a Kona hospital. Doctors determined the 53-year-old actor had suffered a heart attack that Rosenfield described as “mild.”

Ozzy Osbourne accepts libel damages, apology

London – Ozzy Osbourne has accepted undisclosed libel damages and an apology over a newspaper claim that he was ill at the Brit Awards.

The 59-year-old rocker sued over a story in the Daily Star that alleged he had toppled over twice just before the televised ceremony and that he was moved around the awards in an electric buggy.

Osbourne’s lawyer, John Kelly, told a court in London on Thursday that none of the allegations were put to Osbourne or his representatives before they were published.

Express Newspapers’ lawyer Kate Wilson said the publisher now accepts that the allegations were untrue.

Keith Olbermann’s tax debt is fuel for feud

Albany, N.Y. – MSNBC pundit Keith Olbermann, who spotlights misbehavior nightly with his “Worst Person in the World” recognition, owes New York state for unpaid business taxes, according to a tax warrant notice.

And his conservative counterparts and bloggers are making sure the debt is fodder in the ongoing political commentators’ feud.

Olbermann, the host of “Countdown,” owes New York $2,269.50, according to a tax warrant obtained by The Associated Press. State Tax and Finance Department spokesman Tom Bergin said the debt recorded against the TV host’s Olbermann Broadcasting Empire Inc., based in Los Angeles, is still open.

MSNBC spokesman Jeremy Gaines called it a bookkeeping disagreement between Olbermann’s accountants and the state and said it was resolved months ago.

Bergin said the debt could have been resolved recently, but it has not yet been legally “satisfied” and so remains an open case.

Gordon Ramsay opens restaurant in California

West Hollywood, Calif. – Gordon Ramsay is in a California state of mind.

The fiery Scottish chef and star of Fox’s “Hell’s Kitchen” and “Kitchen Nightmares” was all smiles at the opening of his latest restaurant, Gordon Ramsay at The London West Hollywood, on Wednesday evening. The event was attended by celebrity guests such as “Will and & Grace” co-star Eric McCormack, “Survivor” host Jeff Probst, Kim Kardashian and David Beckham.

So why did Ramsay decide to set up shop on the West Coast?

“It’s less aggressive than New York,” he told The Associated Press in the kitchen during the opening celebration. “Vegas? I don’t want to play my card in Las Vegas. It’s materialistic. Here, it’s proper. I’m very happy to be here. Everything is in abundance in California.”

Ramsay said the restaurant, located at The London West Hollywood hotel just off the Sunset Strip, took two years to open. Designed by David Collins, the space features several private dining rooms, wood floors and gold- and pastel-accented furniture. The menu will draw from seasonal ingredients.

Rosie says she’s waiting to remarry Kelli

New York – Ellen DeGeneres is doing it. So is George Takei. But Rosie O’Donnell isn’t jumping at the chance to walk down the aisle.

O’Donnell and her girlfriend, Kelli Carpenter, were married four years ago when the mayor of San Francisco allowed same-sex marriages. The California Supreme Court later declared such marriages invalid.

Now the state’s highest court has ruled that denying same-sex marriages was discriminatory, and many gay and lesbian couples, including DeGeneres and girlfriend Portia de Rossi and Takei and his partner, Brad Altman, are planning to tie the knot.

O’Donnell told AP Radio that she and Carpenter are “going to wait until it’s legal everywhere, because otherwise, I said to Kelli, we’ll be going around touring the country on the marriage tour every state by state.”

“Once it gets to be at the federal level, once every state recognizes the marriages of every other state, I think that’ll be the time we would do it,” the 46-year-old comedian said.
