Zsa Zsa Rushed to Hospital
Zsa Zsa Gabor was rushed to Ronald Reagan-UCLA Medical Center this morning and her condition is not known, according to LA Now. Just two weeks ago, Gabor had part of her right leg amputated and it is unclear if today's hospital emergency is related but her publicist has said she "fell ill this morning." Gabor is 93 and has been in and out of the hospital for months. Someone speaking on behalf of Gabor's husband told CNN she was taken to the hospital by ambulance in the last hour. UPDATE: Gabor's husband has told TMZ there was "lots of blood coming out of her mouth" and that he's worried. 12:23 P.M. UPDATE: TMZ is reporting that Zsa Zsa's temperature is up, her leg is infected, and there is blood and water in her lung.
