Hollywood Hepatitis Scare
Attendees of a recent Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue Party are being warned by the Health Department that they may have been exposed to acute Hepatitis A, TMZ is reporting. The warning comes after an employee of the party's caterer, famed food-maven Wolfgang Puck, was diagnosed with the disease. The party, held on Valentine's Day, was attended by such luminaries as Beyonce, Leo DiCaprio's squeeze Bar Rafaeli and numerous other models. Potential infectees, including anyone who attended an affair catered by Puck between February 1st and 20th, have been told to get an immune globulin shot by tomorrow.
So I guess Wolfgang Puck can kiss his career as caterer-to-the-stars goodbye. Unless everyone sees their way clear to not blame him for this terribly unfortunate occurrence. Fat chance in paranoid Hollywood. From now on everyone will be wearing hazmat suits to parties. Except Lindsay of course - she's immune to everything (except "appendicitis").
