Rosie O'Donnell is lucky to be alive -- the 50-year-old talk show host/actress revealed Monday that she had a heart attack last week. In her typical poetic style, she wrote the following blog post titled "my heart attack," about what happened after she helped an "enormous woman" who was struggling to get out of her car:

"a few hours later my body hurt
i had an ache in my chest
both my arms were sore
everything felt bruised."

She continues,

"i became nauseous
my skin was clammy
i was very very hot
i threw up

maybe this is a heart attack
i googled womens heart attack symptoms
i had many of them
but really? – i thought – naaaa

i took some bayer aspirin
thank god
saved by a tv commercial"

Rosie is said to be "at home and resting comfortably" now after doctors inserted a stent (her coronary artery was 99 percent blocked), but it looks like she had a pretty close call -- especially because she didn't call 911. From Rosie to Christina Applegate to Sheryl Crow, click through our slideshow and let us know: Which celeb had the most frightening health scare?

    That was a no-brainer.

    Rosie?
    All I can say is WHY do people like this get all the breaks and the good ones don't?

    Rosie O'Donell was fat. Your percentage of body fat is directly correlated to cardiovascular problems. That was a never a secret, or a surprise.

    I say Sharon just because I like her, but the thing is people have all of these same problems every day, what really makes these people any better, when it come's to living or dying, than someone's Mom, Dad, Wife, Husband, Children you can go on and on, Celebrity's are people to and their personal problems, which can be great news and gossip are not the end of the world

    I can't imagine why O'Donnell having a heart attack be a "scare" to anyone. She's the only proto-human I know of whose mouth corners go down when she smiles... like the face of a pig taking a dump.

    And before you get up on your high horse about me being insensitive, you'd be wrong. I'm extremely sensitive -- to the thousands of hateful, hurtful, stupid, racist, sexist things she has been paid to say for decades. I'm super-sensitive to the damage she's done to the intellect of America's women by her demented bile-spewing. Karma's a beyotch, ain't it?

    A hole in his heart. You probably can't get any worse than that besides a brain tumor or something.

    "she stood by her man...than when she needed him, he bounced...jerk.."
    I thought he was already married when Sheryl took up with him.
    i'm not sure of this, but didn't Lance dump his wife of several years, who stood by him throughout cancer treatment, for Sheryl Crow?

    Lesson: Humans are flawed, including cancer survivors.

    They would not let me pick "all of the above"! We are all suffering from degeneration of malnutrition because of the sins of those (back in 19th century) that allowed the chemical companies to persuade the farmers to use just NPK, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium to rejuvenate the soil. Sure, the crops look good, but they all lack some other minerals that are vital to our health, such as calcium and magnesium, not to mention, copper, iron and boron and the microorganisms that make it all work to make our food whole and consumed without the use of supplements. The only reason we need supplements is because of what has been missing in our soil, ever since Congress discovered our soil has been depleted from 1920. The heart is a big mineral consumer, which is why we need meat, to get the minerals and proteins we cannot get from just vegetables. There are two different kinds of proteins; the kind from vegetables and another kind from meat, or from products that come from animals, such as cheese and eggs. All diseases can be attributed from our bodies becoming acid balanced, instead of alkaline balanced. It is a medical fact that all cancers cannot live in an alkaline environment and chemotherapy does not address it. Type this in your browser; "Cancer is a Fungus". You will find an Italian doctor that has successfully treated radical forms of cancer with of all things; baking soda!
