REM were forced to cancel a UK show on Monday night after bass player Mike Mills was rushed to hospital.
The musician collapsed just an hour before the American rockers were due to go onstage in Sheffield and was immediately taken to the nearest medical centre. A spokesperson for the group said: "Mike could hardly stand up let alone play."
After arriving at the hospital, Mills complained to doctors he was suffering from severe flu symptoms and loss of balance and after being given a thorough medical examination was diagnosed as suffering from an ear infection. Mills' illness left 12 000 fans, who had battled through a blizzard to get to the venue, devastated and fearing they would be going home bitterly disappointed.
However, fellow bandmates, singer Michael Stipe and guitarist Peter Buck, came out to explain the situation and treated fans to a short acoustic set of the band's classic hits.

Serious snubbage:
Britain's Queen Elizabeth will not attend the wedding of her eldest son Prince Charles to his long-time partner Camilla Parker Bowles, adding to an air of chaos that has surrounded plans for the day.
The queen planned to stay away to respect the couple's wish for a low-key wedding, the palace said. But some royal watchers said the move would further embarrass the royal family and add to an air of farce around the April 8 ceremony.
"Mothers always go to your wedding whoever or wherever you are," royal photographer Arthur Edwards told Sky News. "It is just another snub."

An episode of "The Simple Life" that showed hotel chain heiress Paris Hilton and sidekick Nicole Richie working at a funeral home upset some local residents.
The pair drove a hearse, filled in a grave and held a mock funeral during an episode of the Fox TV reality show that aired last Wednesday. They also spilled what appeared to be human ashes onto a carpet, then used a vacuum cleaner to clean them up.
The ashes were actually a mixture of cat litter and cement, according to John Podesta, the owner of Kohler Funeral Home. A disclaimer at the end of the show said no human bodies were used in any of the scenes, but that failed to appease some viewers.
"It was totally tacky," Amy Van Dalinda told The Record of Bergen County. She said the mock funeral was in the same room where her late father had been laid out, "which was really horrible to me."

Jessica Alba Is Done Being a Ho:
Jessica Alba is through with actors and sleeping around.
Alba was only 18 when she got engaged to Michael Weatherly while they were co-starring in "Dark Angel." When that didn't work out, Alba tells "Cosmo," she decided never to date an actor again.
She admitted she went through "a wild period" after that. She said she had no problem being with a guy just for sex.
But now, she said, she thinks she's found "the one." His name is Cash Warren and he's not an actor.

The multi-colored dancefloor where a white-suited John Travolta strutted his stuff in Saturday Night Fever is to be auctioned.
The cult item of memorabilia from the 1977 movie has been saved from a doomed Brooklyn nightclub.
Organizers of the auction are expecting bids of more than $80,000 for the piece of Hollywood history. The 24-feet by 16-feet dancefloor, which came to symbolise the 70s disco craze, has more than 300 colored flashing lights under a Perspex surface. The club where the dance floor had been a fixture since the movie was made closed last week after being sold to a real estate investment company. Bar owner Jay Rizzo who saved the floor told the New York Post: "It has literally been the heartbeat of this club."
Saturday Night Fever earned Travolta an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of teenage Brooklyn paint-store clerk Tony Manero, who every Saturday night would take to the dancefloor.
The dance floor will be auctioned on April 1 with bids expected in a live sale and on eBay.

No Peek at Crowe's Package
Russell Crowe says his film Eucalyptus was cancelled because he didn't want to show off his, um, you know.
The film, due to star Nicole Kidman, was ditched last week three days before filming was due to start. Russell said: "I was taken aback at the addition of a scene requiring me to expose my penis to the young Queen Elizabeth."
He said he was told he could use a prosthetic one and was given a range to choose from.

TBS has ordered 10 half-hour episodes of a reality show that follows the star of "Encino Man" and other dubious classics as he attempts to revive the Comedy Store, a Los Angeles club founded by his mother, as well as his own career.
Production already is under way on the project, which is tentatively titled "Minding the Store." No airdate has been scheduled.
In "Store," club owner Mitzi Shore allows her 37-year-old son to take control of the Comedy Store. As Shore gets to grips with running a family business his mother can't quite let go of, he also must deal with her disapproval of his dating habits -- long a subject of tabloid fodder. All the while, Shore tries to regain his footing as an actor -- even prodding his agent to get him dramatic roles.
--He never has been funny, nor ever will be funny.

Christian Slater is jumping into the Broadway revival of "The Glass Menagerie," which begins preview performances Thursday at New York's Ethel Barrymore Theatre.

Nitwit heiress and one-time homegrown porn star Paris Hilton is going to have a lot of people at the phone company working overtime today. It seems that some computer hacker broke into her Blackberry and published her address book on the Internet.
The result was a rapid dissemination of private information and phone numbers all over the web. One number belonging to a famous actor already has a message that says the caller is in violation of a Federal Communications Commission code. It's unclear whether this is just bravado.
Among the people whose e-mail addresses and numbers were publicized: Academy Award-winner Adrien Brody; Ashley Olsen; tennis greats Andy Roddick and Mark Philippoussis; model Amber Valletta; Jay-Z (under his real name Shawn Carter); and actor Luke Wilson.
But then things get dicey. Aside from her sister, parents, best friend Nicole Richie and her model cousin, Paris's Blackberry is a B-list directory: action star Vin Diesel; Cher's son Elijah Blue Allman; singer Blu Cantrell; heir Brandon Davis; Jermaine Dupri; Shannon Elizabeth; Eminem; "Boston Legal" actress Rhona Mitra; Frankie "Malcolm in the Middle" Muniz; Yoko Ono flack Elliot Mintz; singer Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas; Victoria Gotti; Miami party girl Ingrid Casares; tennis beauty Anna Kournikova; rocker Fred Durst; pop stars Christina Aguilera and Avril Lavigne; actresses Peta Wilson; Leelee Sobieski; Lindsay Lohan and her mother; Madonna's former partner Guy Oseary; hip-hop star Pharrell Williams; rock heiress Bijou Phillips; and lip-syncer Ashlee Simpson.

Eighties pop music sensation Debbie "Shake Your Love" Gibson says she's still hotter than longtime rival Tiffany.
"Tiffany's Playboy pictorial a few years ago was very raw, while mine is more theatrical and stylized glitz and glamour," Gibson, 34, told the Miami Herald while partying at New York hot spot Marquee to celebrate the revelation of what was under those oversized blazers and high-tops.
Gibson, who has since carved out a Broadway career as Deborah, says her favorite Playboy pictures are the ones where she is holding a microphone stand pretending to be "rock 'n' roll Barbie" and a cabaret takeoff in which she covers her "bits and bobs" with the trademark black bowler hat of her "Electric Youth." To no surprise, Gibson is timing her pictorial with the release of her new pop-rock single, aptly titled "Naked," which she hopes will score her a comeback record deal.
