Rhianna Looks for Bone Marrow Donor for Patient

I saw this report on Yahoo Music News and I just had to share it! I think it's wonderful when music artists do good things for others.

Rhianna is currently helping a 41-year old cancer patient find a bone marrow donor.

Rhianna, who recently won a Grammy and was named as an honorary cultural ambassador, is working with DKMS, a donor database, located in Germany, find a bone marrow donor for Lisa Gershowitz Flynn. Flynn is extremely ill with acute mylogenous leukemia. She is also a mother.

Rhianna is reported as telling People magazine, "When I heard about Lisa's plight, my heart broke." Rhianna hopes to find a bone marrow donor in time to help Lisa.

Spears Detained in Hospital

Britney Spears was taken to the hospital - again - after police were called to her home due to a custody dispute, according to CNN. CNN reports that after three hours, Spears returned the children to Federline and was wheeled out of her home on a gourney and taken to the hospital for psychological evaluation.

Spears was committed to the psychiatric hospital for a 72-hour hold for being a danger to herself or others.

On Sunday it was decided that Spears would be retained in the psychiatric hospital for further treatment, according to Yahoo Music News.

The same report from Yahoo asserted that Court Commisioner Reva Goetz ruled on Friday that Spears' father, James Spears, should take over her financial and personal affairs because Spears does not currently hold the ability to attend to these aspects of her life.

Spears' Last Chance for Visitation Rights

Tomorrow, a hearing is scheduled to take place that will decide if Britney Spears can have visitation rights with her kids, after a stand-off between Spears and police officers on Jan 3, where she refused to hand her kids over to ex-husband, Kevin Federline.

Officials in the case say the court hearing, scheduled for tomorrow will be Spears' final opportunity to obtain visitations with her children before a final hearing regarding custody of her kids, scheduled for April.

Given the stand-off on Jan 3, any visitation awarded to Spears will be more closely monitored than it had been prior to this event.

Officials report that the court hearing on Monday will most likely be closed to the press.

I will update this story as information becomes available.
