UCLA Health System has agreed to pay $865,500 as part of a settlement with federal regulators Wednesday after two celebrity patients alleged hospital employees broke the law and reviewed their medical records without authorization.
Federal and hospital officials declined to identify the celebrities involved. The complaints cover 2005 to 2009, a time during which hospital employees were repeatedly caught and fired for peeping at the medical records of dozens of celebrities, including Britney Spears, Farrah Fawcett and former California First Lady Maria Shriver.
Check out my new cover-story interview with the humble shock jock in the July issue of Muscle & Body magazine.
From my intro:
Every soft-bellied, hard-living morning-show deejay propping yourself up on coffee, donuts, cigarettes and Jack Daniels: Meet your antithesis. Mike Catherwood, who co-hosts the popular, nationally syndicated call-in radio series "Loveline," isn't just the most taut-bodied, telegenic face in radio. The raunchy-humored comic, known to listeners as "Psycho Mike," has muscled his way through more than a decade of sobriety - following six years of self-destructive substance abuse - to prove that being a health-minded L.A. shock jock in recovery doesn't mean losing your edge.
Catherwood achieved serious TV face time this year subbing for Regis Philbin and gyrating on "Dancing with the Stars," but he's still best known for the advice show he co-hosts with addiction specialist Dr. Drew Pinsky. Catherwood, 32, met the good doctor when he was a 20-year-old aspiring punk-rock star detoxing at the Las Encinas Hospital in Pasadena, Calif., after abusing everything from crack cocaine, LSD and ecstasy, to meth and alcohol.

Ryan O'Neal is ready to defend himself in the case of the missing $30M Warhol, according to a new report on Radar Online. A rep for the star of the OWN cable network's The O'Neals -- which airs Sundays after the Duchess of York's docu-reality series Finding Sarah -- tells the website: “Ryan will clear his name. The University Of Texas is fully aware of the whereabouts of the painting. If he had stolen it do you really think it would be openly displayed in public like that?"
Astute viewers found Farrah on Ryan's bedroom wall during the premiere of The O'Neals. ABC News reported that an investigation was underway to determine why the actor appeared to possess the original artwork when Fawcett willed all of her art to her alma mater, the University of Texas. Helping with the investigation: Farrah's Story executive producer Craig Nevius, who in May 2009 sued O'Neal for seizing control of the NBC documentary he was spearheading with the ailing actress.
"I told the university, 'Be patient and wait, because this man is so arrogant, he's going to show'" his possession of the artwork, Nevius told ABC last week.
Fawcett friend Alana Stewart -- who was promoted to producer of the NBC special while O'Neal wrestled control away from Nevius -- told The Insider last week that O'Neal has been paying insurance on the Warhol and thus owned it.
An unnamed insider tells Radar Online, “Some people are trying to make mischief on the second anniversary of Farah’s death, which is really sad."
Last week we reported a united front of impassioned Fawcett devotees began a hard-hitting Facebook group called Farrah Fawcett: We Want the Truth. Supporters of O'Neal, Stewart and other Farrah's Story and/or Fawcett estate insiders singled out in suspicion by the FB group have lashed back at the fervent fans in anonymous postings on this blog.
