Reports were rushing all around the internet about former Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling being hospitalized and quarantined with symptoms resembling Ebola, the dangerous hemorrhagic fever ravaging through West Africa. Reportedly the actress has started coughing during filming season two of her reality show, True Tori, so intensely that she nearly passed out, and she had to be hospitalized. The reports also talk about how the actress kept away from other patients at the Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles, and how she was cautiously treated by a doctor.
Well, I think we have another scary case of Ebola hysteria going on – a disease much more dangerous than the American Ebola epidemic itself. According to a finally trustworthy report by the US Weekly, Tori Spelling was indeed hospitalized with symptoms resembling the dangerous African fever (that are very similar to influenza at its early stages), but was finally admitted to the hospital with severe bronchitis, and possibly pneumonia. The actress is being treated at the Cedars Sinai, where she will stay for the rest of the week. Her representatives have not commented about the news.
The former Beverly Hills 90210 star is currently involved in a reality series starring her and her husband Dean McDermott called True Tori, running on Lifetime. The series grew out of an affair McDermott had, and after which the couple tried to reconcile. The series has one season at this moment, but it will return for a second one – in which, according to some hints in the preview for Season 2 – a fifth Spelling baby might see the light of the sun. The reality series was originally planned to have only one season, but its high ratings have determined Lifetime to order a second one with 8 episodes. The first season of the show was filled with drama – and there will be even more of that in the next one.
