Chyna Releases Statement Regarding Her Hospitalization For Drugs & Alcohol

Jeff Bauer of Mad Dad Promotions has released the following press release regarding Chyna's weekend hospitalization:

As reported early Saturday morning Chyna was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital in Burbank, Ca.

Upon finishing the video shoot for Lovechild's new single, Chyna and a couple of friends including myself, Jeff Bauer AD on the Lovechild shoot, had a few drinks to celebrate her birthday and the end of a great shoot.

Unfortunately, newly prescribed medication she is taking had a very adverse effect combined with the alcohol and Chyna blacked out and fell into her mirrored closet doors. She received minor cuts on her arms and legs. Admittedly, when she fell it was scary and things looked worse than it was to us.

She spent half the day Saturday at St. Joseph's emergency and was released by the doctors without being admitted to the hospital.

Chyna is doing fine if not a little embarrassed about forgetting she was on this new medication. The family at Hybrid Culture Entertainment is with her.

Chyna is a delight on the set and we at Hybrid Culture welcome her anytime she is willing to be involved in one of our productions.

As for her wanting her hamburger and fries, TMZ contacted her on her cell phone while she was waiting for her friends to get back from MOE'S with her avocado, mushroom, bacon and cheese burger (swiss since someone out there is wondering). None of us had eaten since dinner the night before and that was the only thing on anyone's mind.
****
I wish her all the best!

More WWE Slammy Thoughts & Votes.

Now that some of the nominees have been announced, I can give more thoughts on the WWE Slammys.

I'm not sure who I think will win any of these, because it's a tough pick. But here are my votes for the nominees announced.

Superstar of the Year Award Nominees:
- Edge.
- Batista.
- Jeff Hardy.
- Chris Jericho.
- Triple H.
- John Cena.

I'm not sure who I'd vote for, maybe John Cena or Jeff Hardy. It's honestly a tough pick for me though, out of all of them. It's shame HBK & RKO weren't nominated, but ah well.

Match of the Year Nominees:
- 2008 Royal Rumble Match
- Shawn Michaels vs. Ric Flair (Career Threatening Match, WrestleMania 24)
- Money in the Bank Ladder Match (WrestleMania 24)
- Undertaker vs. Edge (Hell in a Cell Match at SummerSlam)

My vote: it's a tie between HBK vs. Flair & MITB [WM24]. I really enjoyed both matches, so it's hard for me to choose.

Diva of the Year Nominees:
- Mickie James.
- Kelly Kelly.
- Beth Phoenix.
- Michelle McCool.

My vote: Mickie James.

That's it unless more are announced. I wish we could vote, but it's alright. I'm still going to watch the Slammys this upcoming Monday. :)

Remember, due to the Slammys, Raw will be 3 hours with a special start time at 8pm on the USA Network.
