Dr. Drew Pinsky: Pray for 'Critical' Jeff Conaway

Jeff Conaway, 'Taxi' star and onetime 'Celebrity Rehab' patient on Dr. Drew Pinsky's reality series, has been visited in the hospital by his former sobriety coach.

As the troubled 60-year-old actor fights to outlive, Pinsky denied that the actor's substance abuse was behind reports of a coma.

On Friday, the doctor tweeted: "Just visited Jeff Conaway. He is steady & looks like he will recover from his pneumonia....Not an OD, like press is alleging & surely not dead." He also criticized Conaway's manager for asserting that Conaway was comatose, when in fact, according to a Pinsky tweet: "He is in an induced coma...a Propafol drip."

notwithstanding, in his most recent updates, Pinsky takes a more dire tone about the 60-year-old's condition, telling Twitter followers on Saturday the actor was "not doing well today suddenly."

Evangeline Lilly Welcomes a Baby Boy

'missing' star Evangeline Lilly has found herself a new role: Mommy.

The actress, 31, gave birth to her first child, a baby boy.

The father is her boyfriend, Norman Kali, who was employed as a production assistant on the crew of the ABC hit series.

Lilly was formerly in a relationship (2004-'09) with 'missing' co-star Dominic Monaghan.

Details about the new baby are few, as the infamously private TV star hasn't spoken to the press about her pregnancy or the birth. She was first spotted by a photographer with a baby bump final month while running errands in a flowing maternity sundress near her Oahu, Hawaii, domestic.

Now that she is a mom, bedtime stories should be additional fun in Lilly's household, as she revealed final year in a late-night interview with Craig Ferguson that she was the proud author of a children's book: 'The Squickerwonkers.'

GOP Conbid Herman Cain Demonstrates Clueslessness On Middle East Policy, Confused By 'correct Of Return'

Former pizza executive Herman Cain announced on Saturday in Atlanta that he is "running for the president of the United States, and i am not running for moment." formerly, Cain has shown a lack of depth on foreign policy, stating at one point that he does not know enough to say what he thinks about the Afghanistan war.

Despite his shallow understanding of foreign policy issues, Cain is still trying to go on the attack against Obama and create a partisan divide on Israel. He said final week that an "arrogant" Obama "threw Israel under the bus" in his recent speech on the Middle East. Trying to sound a hawkish note, Cain said his "Cain doctrine" is "You mess with Israel, you're messing with the United States of America."

But this morning on Fox News Sunday, Cain showed just how limited his understanding is of the Middle East peace process. Asked by host Chris Wallace what he would be prepared to offer Palestinians as part of a deal, Cain responded, "Nothing." Just moments later, Cain was dazed and confused when Wallace referenced the issue of "correct of return" of Palestinian refugees:

WALLACE: Where do you stand on the correct of return?

CAIN: The correct of return? [pause] The correct of return?

WALLACE: The Palestinian correct of return.

CAIN: that is something that should be negotiated. that is something that should be negotiated.

Wallace then helpfully offered Cain a definition of "correct of return" - "Palestinian refugees, the people that were kicked out of the land in 1948, should be able to or should have any correct to return to Israeli land." Cain again showed his lack of knowledge, veering totally off his pro-Likud script. "I don't think they've a big problem with people returning," Cain said. Watch it:

Cain desperately needs a foreign policy briefing so that he can get his talking points in order. During his lecture of President Obama(...)

Guinta proposes Trading One Big Oil Giveaway for Another, Faces Backlash from Granite Staters

During final week's recess, Rep. Frank Guinta (R-NH) felt the heat once again at a town hall back in New Hampshire, and this time had an odd recommendation. When a constituent asked  a question about ending Big Oil subsidies - which received a round of applause from the audience - Guinta pointed his finger at the recent failed Senate vote to roll back some subsidies for the richest oil companies. He said that if oil companies missing tinheritor subsidies, they shouldn't must pay for leases. His proposeion immediateed shouts of "ridiculous" and "that is a giveaway to Big Oil" from angry Granite Staters:

Guinta: Here is what i'd propose. you are going to eliminate that, also eliminate the lease payments they've to make. Offset it. And be reasonable.

Audience: reasonable? [cross talk] …

Guinta: So the particular issue is, if you are going to receive rid of that tax benefit to those five companies, let's also eliminate lease payments, make it reasonable.

[crosstalk]

Constituent: that is ridiculous. that is a giveaway to Big Oil.

Watch it:

Guinta failed to mention the votes he is taken against ending Big Oil handouts. Less than two weeks ago, he voted against ending a tax credit for oil companies. And earlier in the year, he voted against recovering $53 invoiceion in foregone royalty payments from oil companies, and against ending $4 invoiceion in taxpayer subsidies to Big Oil. In the final crusade cycle, Guinta received $14,000 from the oil and gas industry.

it is not the first time Guinta faced a fiery crowd over Big Oil subsidies. Back domestic during the April recess, Guinta was forced to defend his votes to an often contentious crowd:

And They Hacked, And They Hacked, And They Hacked Into The Night

Jerry Lee Lewis would have been proud. Even as the clock ticked past midnight at Pier 94 in Hell's Kitchen, there was a whole lotta hackin' goin' on. Beginning around midday on Saturday, hackers dossierd into the spacious room at the site of Disrupt NYC to start networking and scheming in earnest. As the day wore on, groups solidified, team names were chosen, and at the height of activity, we estimate that more than 500 hackers were huddled around tables, bent over screens with headphones on - doing tinheritor thing.

By midnight, Chinese food had been consumed, much Red Bull downed, and most teams had moved past the brainstorming and serviette-doodling stage to full-fledged hacking and aggressive coding. Ideas were beginning to come to life. One hacker Tweeted around 1 am that the even "Twilio cake's looking pretty good correct now". By 2 am, all the beanbag chairs had been accounted for, some were napping, and the crowd had started to thin.

Mo' Money: Square Now Processing $3 Million A Day In Mobile Payments

It took about 10 months from its public launch for Square to arrive $1 million a day in payments going through its mobile app. Getting to $2 million a day only took about two months. And now, less than a month later, it's passing $3 million.

Leadinge GOP Lawmaker Threatens To Shoot Photographer In Dunkin Donuts Parking Lot

Republican state representative Frederick Ladd Wintle is in custody today after threatening to shoot a photographer with the leadinge Morning Sentinel in the parking lot of a Dunkin Donuts in Waterville. The representative from Garland, leadinge, approached the photographer, Michael Seamans, in a deranged manner and then pointed a gun at him at point-blank range, according to the Portland Press Herald:

In what police termed a "weird" series of events, Wintle allegedly started talking to Seamans about the infant that died this week at Mid-leadinge domesticless Shelter on Ticonic Street and said he was looking for the mother's drug dealer.

News reports created no mention of drugs involved in the infant's death and did not reveal the family.

He then pulled a .22-caliber handgun out of his pants' waistband and pointed it at Seamans in the Dunkin Donuts parking lot, located on Kennedy Memorial Drive.

Police confirmed that Seamans was "an blameless bystander" who did nothing to provoke Wintle. The two men reportedly had never met before. Wintle seems to be something of an amateur historian, and has "penned a series of stories about his miss-spent youth and family, faith, and heritage." In what appears to be Wintle is website promoting his writing, his biography proposes an interest in hunting, saying he "was born on opening day of deer hunting season October 21, 1952."
