Two NBC stars in the hospital

HargitayTwo stars from two of NBC's most popular shows are in the hospital, and at least one of the cases sounds serious.

Deal Or No Deal host Howie Mandel was rushed to the hospital in Toronto for an irregular heartbeat. He was admitted to the hospital just so they could monitor him and do some tests. He's expected to be released from the hospital later this afternoon.

The other person in the hospital is Law and Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay. She reportedly suffered a collapsed lung around the holidays, according to a spokesperson (who says it was a "partially" collapsed lung). There are conflicting reports as to how it happened, either by sledding or some other way, but TMZ says that the lung collapsed for a second time and had to be inflated again. She was nominated for a Golden Globe the other night.

By the way, Mandel is in Toronto to film scenes for his new hidden camera show Howie Do It.

I read yesterday that Mariska is OK and does not expect to miss any work.

I was so sad to hear that Mariska was injured! I hope that she gets well very soon. A collapsed lung sounds quite serious and very scary. She's my favorite actress as well, and I love watching her every week on SVU. I was looking for her at the Gloden Globes since she was nommed for Best Actress in a Drama Series... I guess this is why I didn't see her! Best wishes for a speedy recovery, Marish - hope that we see you on the set of SVU soon!

When I first saw something about this, I read the headline and thought Mariska Hargitay died, screamed, and had a mini-heart attack. She's one of my favorite actresses, and I thought they would end SVU.
