Kid Rock Latest Victim of the Scourge of "Dehydration"

Kid Rock was hospitalized in Nottingham, England late last week. The singer was about to head to his performance at a music festival but was suffering from "stomach cramps and dehydration." BA WIT DA BA, MAN!

As we all know by know, "dehydration" is a genteel code word for, "celebrity was drinking and/or doing drugs." In fact a quick Google search for "hospitalized for dehydration" gave me a quick list of Kid Rock's cotton-mouthed colleagues, including Nicole Richie, Verne Troyer, CariDee English, Amy Winehouse, Brandy, and Lindsay Lohan.

Hmph. Look, I know that I'm not a celebrity and I only have an HMO, but when I'm dehydrated or "dehydrated," I don't go to the hospital. I grab some Gatorade. Maybe some Saltines for those "stomach cramps," and I might have to go to "church" once or twice, church being the bathroom, God being the toilet. I get all penitent and kneel before it. Ahem. Anyway. What's really weird about this story is that Kid Rock is suddenly all image-conscious.

He could have actually been dehydrated, from over indulging or otherwise, which can require hospitalization. I've been hospitalized twice for the stomach flu -- which has similar effects on the body as, oh, say drinking too much tequila*. If your organs are going to fail from lack of water, no matter what the cause is, usually your insurance would cover it. Not that he doesn't have the cash to just pay for the stay outright.

Also, I don't think you have a "reputation" worth salvaging after being married to Pamela Anderson. Those two things can not exist in the same personal universe.

*I say this as someone who, just last week, was quietly ducking out of meetings after having so much Patron in one night that even water was the enemy for a solid 6 hours. I am no proud of this. (And I sincerely apologize to the housekeeping staff of the Marriot Hotel and Marina in San Diego.)

I agree with Sils about the reputation-salvaging: this is also the man who had an "altercation" at a Waffle House in the middle of the night.

In other news, Kid Rock was also victimized by a greasy pork chop.

anyway, he has kind of been dead to me since since the ole marriage to pam. he sounded like he had turned into a totally puritanical misogynist once he married her. so to heck with him and his "dehydration."
