Faithfull furious over heart attack rumors

Filed under: Classics, Gay & Lesbian, Music & Musicals, Casting, Celebrities and Controversy

Remember that all-new, supposedly super-gay adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray that we told you about a day or so ago? Page Six reported that 60's legend Marianne Faithfull was initially set to star in the film, but had to back out after suffering a mild heart attack and was replaced by Natasha Kinski. Now Faithfull is lashing out at the New York Post's gossip page, insisting that she was never consulted for the story, and that the heart attack rumors are simply untrue. "I haven't had a heart attack, not even a slight one. It's upsetting that so many of my friends and family have been forced to worry unnecessarily about my health. I'm currently on tour in Europe and I want to reassure everyone coming to the shows that I'm OK." Consider yourself reassured.
