Artie Lang Hospitalized

Howard Stern's chubby side-kick, Artie Lang, was hospitalized over the weekend. Nobody is saying why Artie was there. I would say there's a chance it might have something to do with drugs or alcohol, but you never know. He could have cut his pinky, which turned into gangrene and is spewing infection throughout his entire body.

Artie's camp did release a statement acknowledging that Artie was hospitalized, but they said Artie has "chosen to keep all information on this matter between him and his doctor. There will be no further comment."

Howard Stern isn't giving details, either, but said we all have our demons and that Artie has given his show "tremendous moments of great comedy. He's a tremendous contributor. He is a good man. Don't forget how great he is."

I love me some Howard Stern and Artie is absolutely hilarious, here's hoping he gets well and has his fat as* back on the show in no time!
