What ails Demi Moore? What evil has befallen the star?

Demi, 49, was taken by paramedics to an L.A. hospital Monday, where she is being treated for . . . exhaustion, epilepsy, drug addiction, anorexia, or a whip-it OD.

Take your pick: The rumors are many, the facts few.

The G.I. Jane tough-gal's rep says it's stress: "Because of the stresses in her life right now, Demi has chosen to seek professional assistance to treat her exhaustion and improve her overall health," a statement says.

Most gossipers agree on one thing: Since splitting up with husband Ashton Kutcher, Demi has been unwell.

It's anorexia, says RadarOnline; Demi is popping pills, says People, which notes that Demi did a stint in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction in the mid-'80s.

TMZ says on Monday Demi indulged in a massive amount of whip-its, a nitrous oxide inhalant kids use for a cheap high. One of Demi's friends called 911 when the actor had a seizure and slipped into unconsciousness.

Mary Tyler Moore: Wanted to dance

"I always wanted to be a dancer," Mary Tyler Moore, 75, tells Reuters. "That is what I really wanted in my life. I will go to my grave having received so many awards thinking of myself as a failed dancer rather than a successful actress." On Sunday, Moore's TV hub, Dick Van Dyke, will present her with a lifetime achievement award from the Screen Actors Guild.

"It pleases me to know that it would make my dad awfully happy, I know that," says Moore, who began her TV career playing the Happy Hotpoint Appliance Elf in a 1955 commercial. She would go on to star in the 1970s hit The Mary Tyler Moore Show, which earned 29 Emmys.

 

Drew Barrymore plans wedding

Stupendously cuddly E.T. darling turned self-assured hottie actor-director Drew Barrymore, who became engaged to Will Kopelman this month, promises she plans to begin planning her wedding real soon. But she doesn't want to rush things.

  "I think everyone expects you to kinda know right away what all the plans are," the Whip It helmer told Good Morning America's Robin Roberts on Wednesday.

"And I'm like, oh goodness, it happened a month ago. Do I not have it together, or is it OK to keep daydreaming?"

Drew, previously wed to Jeremy Thomas and then Tom Green, says she and Will have a "stable, normal kind of vibe."
