Still Cool after All These Years
Dennis Hopper was hospitalized yesterday after stating he had flu like symptoms.
He was supposed to be talking about the second season of his TV series, “Crash,” but instead he was carted away in an ambulance Wednesday morning with “flu-like symptoms.”
Numerous media outlets, including “Today,” “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon” and ABC News Now’s “What’s the Buzz,” were left scrambling for guest replacements after all of his media appearances for the day were canceled.
