'Star Wars' Actress Carrie Fisher 'Stable' After In-Flight Heart Attack (abc7news.com)

Best-known for playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars trilogy and The Force Awakens, actress Carrie Fisher is recovering from a "cardiac event" Friday. An anonymous reader quotes ABC: Her brother, Todd Fisher, told The Associated Press that she was "out of emergency" and stabilized at a Los Angeles hospital Friday afternoon... The 60-year-old "Star Wars" star experienced medical trouble during a flight from London and was treated by paramedics immediately upon landing in Los Angeles around noon Friday, according to reports citing unnamed sources.
Fisher reportedly remains in the intensive care unit while lots of celebrities are now wishing her a speedy recovery for Christmas, including Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels, Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew, and Billy Dee Williams, as well as Star Trek actors William Shatner and George Takei. Many fans are using the hashtag #MayTheForceBeWithHer, and she's even receiving messages of support from the Twitter account set up for her therapy dog, Gary.

    This is a case of "late worse than never" (or more exactly, "ever worse than never"). Seriously, what site we're on? I haven't come here for celebrity gossip.

    There was a time that this site actually discussed TECHNOLOGY, but then it became a vapid, shallow cesspool of PC/SJW bullshit and "entertainment news". Seriously, Reddit has more useful discussions than this shithole of a place.

    Why don't you create a new article for this instead of forcing your way into Carrie Fisher's?

    You're a fucking bastard and you should delete your account.

    I was going to say that I'd care more about your opinion if you bothered to *create* an account.
    But I have a suspicion you're one of the many trolls I've smacked down over the years, probably quite recently.
    So have a Merry Xmas or FOAD, or both if you prefer

    I was a kid around that time and I thought it was utter poo.

    Uhm, no, why would I want to read that article? The synopsis is here for a reason.

    I came here for tech news, keeping up with that odd astronomy/biology/physics/etc development, etc. The kind that a well-rounded modern person should be aware of. Not for gossip about an actress in a third-rate "science"-fiction movie that for some reason got popular.
