Gabor released from hospital
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- Hungarian-born actress Zsa Zsa Gabor was released from a Los Angeles hospital in time to celebrate her 94th birthday, her husband said.
Gabor was hospitalized at the Ronald Reagan-UCLA Medical Center last Tuesday for suspected internal bleeding and an infection, media reports said.
Most of her right leg was amputated on Jan. 14 to treat a blood clot and prevent infection.
Gabor has been in and out of the hospital since July after falling out of bed at her home and sustaining an injury that required a hip replacement.
TMZ posted a photo of her taken hours after she was released from the hospital Sunday showing her sitting up and looking at a huge chocolate birthday cake.
The entertainment news Web site quoted unnamed doctors as saying her infection is gone and her blood pressure has stabilized.
Gabor's husband, Prince von Anhalt, told TMZ he is optimistic about her future health.
Aguilera fumbles anthem at Super Bowl
ARLINGTON, Texas, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- U.S. singer Christina Aguilera botched the words to the national anthem on the biggest stage of her career -- the Super Bowl.
Less than a minute into the song -- widely recognized as a tough one to sing -- Aguilera stumbled over the verse, "O'er the ramparts we watch'd, were so gallantly streaming."
Instead, she sang, "What so proudly we watched at the twilight's last reaming." That line repeated one she had sung moments earlier, with "gleaming" replaced by "reaming."
Not only was her miscue heard by 103,219 fans who had crammed into Cowboys Stadium for Sunday's Super Bowl XLV between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers, but by tens of millions of people watching on television worldwide.
At least listeners knew the 30-year-old entertainer wasn't lip-syncing.
Trainers staying on stage at whale shows
ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 7 (UPI) -- SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment says killer-whale trainers will stay out of the water for their own safety during the U.S. marine park chain's new shows.
The Orlando Sentinel said the human stars will remain on stage and have no in-water interaction with the killer whales when the residential "One Ocean" shows debut this spring at the entertainment company's locations in Orlando, Fla., San Antonio and San Diego.
The change in the dynamics of the performances comes a year after SeaWorld Orlando trainer Dawn Brancheau was battered and drowned by a killer whale.
"We are now staying out of the water. We don't know when or how that's going to change. So we said, 'Let's design this one to facilitate that and go in that direction,'" the Sentinel quoted Julie Scardina, SeaWorld Parks' curator of animal training, as saying. "This show was designed to create the interconnectedness with the whales without having to be in the water."
