TMC.com reports that 39-year-old R&B/hip-hop artist Nate Dogg (real name: Nathaniel Hale) is in stable condition after suffering a stroke 11 days ago.

According to MTV.com, Dogg is currently sedated and is using an assisted breathing tube to help him breathe easier. Fortunately, he did not suffer any brain damage.

This was Dogg’s second stroke. He suffered the first one on December 19, 2007. About a month later, it was officially reported that the stroke had rendered the left side of his body partly paralyzed.

Actor Matthew McConaughey did also compete in the swimming-running-biking event. His race time was 1 hour, 30 minutes and 44.7 seconds.

“90210” star Shannen Doherty has vowed to never undergo cosmetic surgery, according to WENN.

“These are my looks, whether you like them or not. They work for me. I have a gap in the middle of my teeth. You know how many people wanted to cover that gap? My parents are like, ‘Don’t ever do that! That’s what makes you different!’ I was raised to have a lot of confidence and believe in myself,” she said.
