Holy shit! So, you know actor Michael Clarke Duncan, right? He is large and has a deep voice and he did that bee-vomiting thing in the Green Mile? And you know Omarosa, right? Janice Dickinson chased her around with a knife that one time on VH1? Well. Duncan had a heart attack last night around 2 am, and he would have died if it weren’t for the fact that he and Omarosa are apparently dating (nobody told me!). After discovering Duncan unconscious, Omarosa jumped into action and administered CPR. “He is now stable and we look forward to his full recovery,” says Duncan’s rep. [Us]

Brad Pitt is supposedly giving director Marc Forster the silent treatment on the set of World War Z, due to the complete fuckedness of the whole project. Apparently Pitt is impatient with rewrites and unhappy with some of the film’s big set pieces. A source says: “The studio is cultivating multiple options. One is to try scrapping [the ending] and trying something different: They want to construct an entirely new ending to the movie. The other is to try salvaging it, because decent action can be elevated, and even shitty action can be saved. This is not an unmitigated disaster; it is salvageable.” I don’t have anything to add, except that that book is fucking scary. [DigitalSpy]

Why not kick off your weekend with a tale of devastating dog death? Cheyenne Jackson opened up about the loss of his #1 BFF Zora: “She was New York to us. She was in every dressing room I ever had, she was kind of the supermodel of the dog park, she was really beautiful. She was everything.” In March, Jackson and his husband, Monte Lapka, discovered that Zora had terminal cancer and organized a wake. “Then, with Zora’s heart beating over his arm, Jackson parted with his beloved pet and put her to sleep. ‘It was the hardest thing we’ve ever gone through,’ he says. ‘We almost couldn’t stand up for two days, it was so devastating.'” But THEN, Bernadette Peters (!!!) was all, “Heyyyyy you guys, look at this cute rescue dog!” and they adopted it and its name is Brillo and everything is adorable.
