Pillsbury Doughboy Hospitalized With Internal Injuries
Hollywood bad-boy Jean "Doughboy" Michelin, best known as the affable media spokesman for General Mills' Pillsbury products, was admitted to Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for treatment of a range of internal injuries, including a bruised kidney and multiple intestinal ruptures. Doctors describe the injuries as serious but not life-threatening.
"Let's face it: you get punched in the gut by a giant finger that many times over so many years, it's going to do a number on your insides," said Dr. Isaac Shapiro.
Doctors refused to speculate whether the star's high-living lifestyle had a contributing effect on his injuries. Witnesses say Michelin was rushed to the hospital by food-industry friends after falling ill at a party at the home of Charlie Sheen.
"We were just sitting around having beers and watching some strippers Charlie had brought in when all of sudden 'Da-Boy' starts puking up blood. It was gross, man," said Michelin's long-time friend and professional colleague Frank "Cocoa" Puffs.
"Doughboy", as he is widely known, is the son of famed tire-company media spokesman Henri Michelin (a.k.a. "The Michelin Man") and actress Goldie Hawn, who were briefly married in the late 1960's.
"Doughboy" most recently made tabloid headlines for his on-again-off-again engagement to actress Angelina Jolie prior to her current relationship to Brad Pitt. Jolie is rumoured to have a tatoo of Michelin on her inner thigh.
