Here in Germany the tabloid press seems uninterested in true news. I wrote two of them (which I find on googlenews), but they don't respond AND they still have their article on their websites.  |

I just heard this story reported on the radio. At least they had the decency to admit that their source was the Enquirer!
I'm glad I knew the truth before...I would have been very very upset otherwise.

I read that too. No only can they not write good, they can't see either.
Maybe that is their problem.
Yep! I laughing also! |

That would be harsh! The reporter responded promptly and courteously to my heads-up.
It's common for entertainment reporters to just copy-and-paste stories from newswire services. Unfortunately, some outlets tend not to do much (if any) fact-checking. In this case the big culprit is BANG Media International (a.k.a BANG Show Biz), which is spreading the National Enquirer story.

So...let me get this straight....
Bill NEVER went into the Hospital for a Hip replacement ?
Yet Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is saying he did on January 25 ?
That's not like them to leave themselves open to a suit like that.... |

My father-in-law had a hip replacement surgery. He had to be very careful afterwards for a while. He could not bend over and had to be care where he sat down. Plus, he gave up skiing. I am sure that if he were into horse back riding, he would be giving that up also.
The fact that the news was never on any of the main news stations leads me to conclude that the story was false. If there were any truth to it at all, I would think the TV media shows would have picked it up... TMZ, Entertainment Tonight and others. |

| Yeah...I get that...I also know how people baby themselves after this Major Surgery...what I'm confused about is WHY Cedars hasn't put up a fight about attributing this story to someone in their Employment... |

| Ok, so I'm driving in the car, listening to 94.1 out of San Diego, and they say....coming up later, William Shatner who will talk about the story regarding his surgery and how he almost died. I go into a panic, as this is the first I have heard anything, and get to my computer as fast I can to see what is going on. What a relief to find out it wasn't true. I have been a fan of Star Trek since the 60's when I was a little girl and have never seen a more handsome man then William Shatner. even today you set my heart a flutter. I used to work for a PI (and had some Star Trek items on my desk) and met a man who had done some security work for you and he asked me why I didn't have an autographed photo of you....so he contacted your office and got me one and it is now one of my most prized possessions. Anyway, I am so glad you are doing well and are healthy, and I loved it when you took on Denny Crane, the character is a hoot and I love the show and you! |

| What you're really saying, Bill, is that you're really okay? No truth whatsoever to any of these internet posts (two of which I've seen and they're identical). Don't they constitute defamation or something? Is there anything legally that you can do to stop "media" from doing stuff like that? I mean, we're talking confidential medical info here, whether you've been hospitalized or not. It's supposed to be CONFIDENTIAL! I don't want to know about it because it's none of my beeswax and I have too much respect for you to inquire about something like that. At any rate, if you insist you're okay, then I'll believe you. Maybe I'll get to see you during the next Shatnerweekend, it's affordable, I've got the time, but I have another commitment in L.A. during the time frame of the weekend. We'll see. In the meantime, stay well...go back to work, too, it looks like the strike is just about over. Good luck! |

I know I've had a couple phone calls today about some English site posting it and quoting the National Enquirer as it's credible source.  |
Surely, that's an oxymoron !! 
I would only believe such news if it was reported here or I was told by Jane & Sandy.

Get well soon. |
