Barstool star Dan Katz left hospitalized with brutally painful health issue
Popular Barstool personality Big Cat had to be hospitalized over the weekend with a major health issue.
Barstool Big Cat, whose real name is Dan Katz, took to social media on Sunday to reveal that he had ended up in the emergency room with kidney stones.
Katz has since been released, according to ESPN's NFL insider Adam Schefter, who announced the news in an NFL Draft parody post on X Tuesday morning.
'Developing story: Over the weekend, @BarstoolBigCat was hospitalized due to a kidney stone. He since has been released, and with that episode seemingly over, @PFTCommenter is now on the clock,' Schefter wrote.
This wasn't the first time that the 40-year-old has been struck down with kidney stones. Last November, he revealed that he had suffered with four.
'I try to p*** one out,' he said of the situation last year on the Barstool Yak podcast. 'Three are small inside my kidney still, that maybe won't f*** me up. One is already on its way out and that's the big boy.'
'I think it's kinda random, it might be stress cause I am really stressed,' he added when asked about the cause.
However, he claimed at the time that his trip to hospital hadn't been the worst part of the weekend as his beloved Chicago Bears had lost.
His latest incident didn't keep him down for long though, as Katz was released from hospital in time to attend Barstool's 'Bet Gala.'
Barstool chief Dave Portnoy hosted a parody of the Met Gala - a fashion spectacular at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York - on Monday night in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Katz shared a series of photos of himself in a gambling-inspired suit, which was lined with winning bet slips.

Bryan Cranston opens up about his nepo baby daughter and her breakout role in The Pitt
Bryan Cranston was quite the proud dad while showering praise on his only daughter Taylor Dearden and her work on the Max medical drama The Pitt. Dearden, 32, is the only child of the Breaking Bad star, 69, and his wife of over 35 years, actress Robin Dearden. Taylor made her acting debut as a 'Sad Faced Girl' on an episode of her father's hit TV series, though she has made her own way ever since. After starring in a few short films, she played McKenzie on the web series 10 Ways to Get Rejected, along with Sweet/Vicious and Netflix 's American Vandal. She has most recently had roles in a pair of Apple TV Plus projects - For All Mankind and The Last Thing She Told Me. Taylor can currently be seen as Dr. Melissa King on The Pitt, with her father praising his only child during a red carpet appearance at the Tribeca Film Festival (via MSN). 'There is nothing that's more gratifying than when your kid receives praise. Nothing. No one could say anything to me that's better than that,' Cranston said. 'Her mom and I are just over the moon with her her work on it. She's a very hard working person, she grew up in it,' he added. 'So, it's in her bones. She's in it for the right reasons and she loves it,' he said, when he was asked about any advice he may have passed down along the way. 'Because I'm her dad, she picks up advice hopefully by the way I behave in this business and navigate my way through,' Cranston said. 'I don't ever say, "Now, young lady, here's some advice I'm going to give you." Kids don't want to hear that,' he joked. Dearden could be a candidate to land a Best Supporting Actress nomination when the Emmy nods are revealed next month. Taylor revealed in an interview with Gold Derby last month that it was, 'really trippy,' to still be filming the show while it was airing, a rarity for most streaming shows. 'We'd get texts from people saying like ah that one thing that happened and I'm like still at work going, 'No I just did something else.' Her character is neurodivergent second-year resident, and the actress herself is neurodivergent, adding it always 'bugged' her the way these characters are often portrayed. 'There is a show that will not be mentioned that I saw and I was like wow they're really trying to play autism there in a very unflattering light,' Rearden added. 'It's just I think what's frustrating is it is this idea of robots as opposed to humans and people who have a lot of things going on and yeah I mean it tends to be very one note and I'm I'm hoping that I'm doing a good job,' she said. The Pitt wrapped up its 15-episode first season in April, averaging over 10 million global viewers per episode, with a second season already ordered.

Annie Knight breaks down crying as she tearfully recalls horrific sexual assault ordeal: 'I started screaming'
Annie Knight broke down in tears on Tuesday as she recounted the horrifying moment she was allegedly assaulted by a male sex worker. The OnlyFans creator, 27, shared a video to TikTok explaining she was filming a collaboration video when her scene partner began to 'push her down'. Knight said the accused ignored the 'boundaries' she put in place before filming began, and would not allow her to get up when she tried to leave the situation. 'I literally can't believe what happened. Sorry. Give me a second, I'm just going to calm down,' Knight cried as she began her video. She went on to say she was filming a sex scene with someone who was a 'verified creator' but new and unknown in the industry. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'We were filming the scene. I very clearly laid down my boundaries about what I'm okay with. I told him I didn't want restraining of any kind,' she said. 'We get down to filming and straight away he is doing things I told him I don't want to do. 'I've been in a similar position before where I was like enough is enough and I pushed him off me and left. 'This time was different because I asked him multiple times to stop and he didn't.' Knight broke down in tears again as she said: 'So I was trying to get him off me and the more I was pushing him, the more he kept pushing me down... I couldn't get up.' Thankfully, Knight said she had a security guard waiting in another room as she had hired a two-bedroom apartment to film the content in. The male content creator was apparently unaware Knight had security, so the alleged assault was stopped when Knight 'screamed' for help. 'Luckily I had a security guard next door because I am so scared of this exact situation happening,' she said. 'When I started screaming, thankfully, I had someone who came in and got this guy off me.' Knight went on to caution other sex workers to 'please be safe' and 'make sure you always have someone close by' for protection. 'I was so naive in thinking that because I've been doing this for so long now that this kind of thing doesn't happen,' Knight continued. 'It is so ridiculous that I thought that, but I am so lucky I still had a security guard close by just in case.' Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Knight for further comment. Knight shot to fame online in recent years for sharing videos detailing her experiences as a sex worker. She has also received a slew of media attention for her various sex challenges, the most recent of which left her hospitalised when she slept with 583 men in a day. Professionally dubbed as 'Australia's Most Sexually Active Woman', Knight has said she earns up to $3.5 million a year on OnlyFans for her X-rated content. She also recently announced her engagement to Henry Brayshaw, son of sports commentator James Brayshaw.

Sherri Shepherd FINALLY reveals star who allegedly grabbed her in confrontation at Denzel Washington's Othello
Sherri Shepherd is revealing the identity of the actress who allegedly accosted her at the opening night performance of Broadway's Othello back in March. The 58-year-old actress and comedian previously claimed earlier in March on her eponymous daytime talk show that an 'unnamed celebrity' had allegedly grabbed her arm and whipped her around to confront her over 'shady' comments they said she had made about them. However, the play's opening night — which stars Denzel Washington as Shakespeare's title character and Jake Gyllenhaal as Iago — provided cover for the unnamed actress, as there were plenty of stars in the audience, including Jennifer Lopez and Angela Bassett. But Shepherd claimed during a Breakfast Club interview on Tuesday that the woman who physically confronted her nearly three months earlier was the actress Nia Long, 54. Representatives for Long and Shepherd haven't yet responded to request for comment. 'It was Nia Long. I don't know who [she] had me confused with,' Sherri alleged. 'The only time I've ever talked about Nia is when she went through with her partner [when] there was infidelity.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Breakfast Club (@breakfastclubam) She was referring to a 2022 scandal in which Long's then-fiancé Ime Udoka, a former NBA player who was then the head coach of the Boston Celtics, was revealed to have had an affair with a female employee of the Celtics association. The team announced he was to be suspended for the entirety of the 2022–2023 season over the inappropriate relationship, and Long later criticized the Celtics for allegedly never contacting her to see how she was holding up after the team publicly confirmed her partner's affair. Shepherd said on Tuesday that she 'supported' Long's position during the infidelity ordeal, and she added that Long 'deserves to have a good man to be with her.' 'I have no idea who she thought was shading her, but it was not me,' she continued. 'I have no beef with Nia. I'm a fan of hers.' When Shepherd first revealed the negative with an actress, she said being grabbed and castigated in public left her feeling 'upset,' but she claimed she offered to meet with Long in the women's bathroom at intermission to hash out their differences. However, she allegedly waited 15 minutes in the restroom without Long ever showing up. 'You don't get to pull me and turn me around like we're in a doggone cartoon and then walk away,' Shepherd said on The Breakfast Club. But when she was asked why she would make public claims that could stir up more controversy for her, Shepherd said that coming clean also benefited her professionally. She clarified that she didn't initially mention Long's name, and said the other stars at opening night made it difficult to single out any star. But Shepherd said her other career as a stand-up comic benefits from the buzzy confrontation. 'Everything that happens in my life is material for me. And my stage, my comedy stage, is the talk show,' she explained. 'So I got on stage and I just talked about it, and I said, "You know, this happened."' She reiterated that she had invited Long on her talk show to discuss what had upset the actress, and she insisted that she doesn't 'like to tear down people.' 'I honestly was just confused,' the 30 Rock actress continued. 'And I also don't like when you touch me and you pull at me. I don't like that. She grabbed me and spun me around. '[But] I'm cool. I'm so cool. It's done,' she added. 'I would love to talk to her and just clear it up.' When Long was initially wrapped up in her former fiancé's cheating scandal, she was publicly supported by several celebrity friends, including Snoop Dogg, Community star Yvette Nicole Brown and the sports journalist and political commentator Jemele Hill. Long shares a 13-year-old son, Kez, with her ex Udoka, and she also has a 24-year-old son, Massai Zhivago Dorsey II, whom she shares with her ex, the actor Massai Z Dorsey, whom she dated from 1999 to 2001. The couple were engaged for 10 months before going their separate ways.
