It seems that Aaron Ferguson, who served as an accountant for the Rachael Ray TV show, says in his filing in Manhattan’s state Supreme Court, that he’s suffered with anorexia for about six years. In the filing, Ferguson says he was fired for complaining about comments made by a supervisor, and because he was fired, as well as the harassment, he’s suing for a cool $1 million.

Ferguson says his supervisor repeatedly exhibited “hostile behavior” and made “vile,” discriminatory, and hurtful comments regarding his anorexia, including saying things such as, “Anorexics are sick in the head,” and, “Anorexics should not be able to work,” according to his filing.

Poor Amy Winehouse. Her daddy says she has emphysema, but her publicist, you know, the well-paid folks who are responsible for creating and maintaining the public image — a performer’s persona — says that the 24-year-old British singer does not have emphysema, but does have only 70 percent lung capacity, as well as nodules and other issues with her lungs. In essence, 30 percent of Amy Winehouse’s lungs are little more than trash.

One TV show I used to watch, and have watched since it was introduced about three years ago, The Unit, has had its current season halted, and despite pulling in high ratings before the writer’s strike, may be axed by idiots in CBS’ entertainment division.

It seems an online petition has been started in an attempt to “save” The Unit from the proverbial TV show scrap pile. Although I’m not a big fan of online petitions, I’ve seen several TV shows that were “saved” as a result of such actions by viewers. Since I already said I enjoyed the show, I will push others to sign the petition in an attempt to keep the show on-the-air.

In the 1960s, most children and teenagers knew — or watched — one of the most popular cartoons of all time: The Flintstones, produced by Hanna-Barbera Productions.

Fred and Wilma Flintstone, a most unlikely of pairs, and their neighbors, Barney and Betty Rubble, often had laughs, but they had to content with real life, too, albeit in the cartoon era in the Town of Bedrock, where from worked atop a dinosaur’s back, hauling out loads of rock from Mr. Slate’s quarry.

Yes, real medicine is about — sometimes — very odd, very rare disorders, but most of the time, things are boring, run-of-the-mill stuff. The staff in an emergency room, often well-versed in handling all sorts of medical issues, such as anything from a pencil eraser in a six-year-old’s ear canal to someone who fell from atop an eight-story building and is impaled with what was a 14-foot steel rod that’s sliced its way through the person’s body on an angle, and is not just over six feet long because the fire department had to cut the pole to a size that could be handled in an ambulance. Yep, typical run-of-the-mill stuff.

Dr. Alex Karev, of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy TV show, is seeking help from real doctors in real life, according to his publicist.

It seems Justin Chambers, the actor who plays Dr. Alex Karev, has checked himself into the UCLA Medical Center “to get help with a pre-existed sleeping disorder,” according to his publicist, Danica Smith.

This is the first time I’ve ever heard a song that dealt with the issue — head-on — of what the troops go through when they come home. No matter how well adjusted they may seem when they get home, I really hate to burst your bubble, but after you’re in combat, kill more people, some with your hands, you’re never the same person you were before you went. No, the innocence is lost. Much like a person’s first sexual experience: you’re no longer naive about many things, but in this case, it is something that’s not pleasureful. It’s about hatred, death, and survival.
