Madonna is home from the hospital but she’s still not feeling 100 percent. According to TMZ, the singer has been “vomiting uncontrollably since being discharged from the hospital,” and her bacterial infection is “still wreaking havoc on her body.” She reportedly can’t get out of bed at her New York City apartment, where she’s been recovering since being released from the hospital on Wednesday. Madonna had been in the ICU for several days after collapsing last Saturday. Her tour was set to kick off July 15th, but that’s seriously in doubt. Still, TMZ says that “no final decision has been made by her manager or agent.”

Flea says if he could redo any Red Hot Chili Peppers album, it would be their 1984 self-titled debut. The bassist tells the L.A. Times, “I always regret the way we made the first one. I think the songs are really good. Our band was smoking at the time, but Jack [Irons] and Hillel [Slovak] quit, and we hired these two other guys: Jack Sherman and Cliff Martinez. Both were great musicians, but the connection just wasn’t as profound as we had with the guys we started with. I’ve often wanted to go back and re-record that album, but I can never talk anyone into it.’ As for what his favorite album in the Peppers catalog, Flea picks Blood Sugar Sex Magik. “But there’s a couple tunes on there I don’t think should have gotten on in retrospect. ‘The Greeting Song’ wasn’t good enough.”
Comedian John Mulaney was a writer on “Saturday Night Live” from 2008 to 2013. He says during that time, there were two guests that didn’t exactly have a positive reaction to his pitches . . . Josh Brolin and Mick Jagger. John says, quote, “Josh said, ‘Well, this isn’t funny!’ I was writing something and I started to walk him through it. And he went, ‘Yeah, no, but that, that’s not funny!’ And it was so matter of fact, I wouldn’t even call it the worst . . . “I found it very refreshing. It was early enough on Tuesday night that I didn’t proceed with it.” His interaction with Mick was less of an exchange. The joke he wrote for Mick, was, quote, “Hey everyone, I’m Mick Jagger, so mothers lock up your daughters . . . or should I say, daughters lock up your mothers.” John says all Mick said was, quote, “No, I don’t like that.” Watch his episode of “Hot Ones”

We still don’t know too many details about his condition, or what exactly happened. “He is getting the best care and working hard to recover right now, but he is still not himself,” the source said. “He has the tightest circle around him.” – LINK

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny“ (PG-13)
Harrison Ford is back as Indy for the last time. This fifth installment opens with a flashback scene from 1944 where Indy is captured by Nazis during World War 2. He escapes and takes a powerful time-traveling artifact with him called the Dial of Destiny, which has the power to change history. The “present” is set in 1969, with Indy ready to retire as a professor. His treasure hunting goddaughter, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, meets up with him and asks about the dial, which Indy says has been split into three pieces. When they go to retrieve the first piece, they face-off with Mads Mikkelsen, a former Nazi who now works for NASA. Mads is also in search of the dial to correct Adolf Hitler’s mistakes. It then becomes a race and battle around the world, so Indy can complete the dial and save history. It also stars Antonio Banderas, and the return of Karen Allen as Indy’s wife Marion and John Rhys-Davies as his buddy Sallah. Artificial intelligence was used to de-age Ford in the flashback scenes.
