Sheindlin spent the night at L.A.'s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center on Wednesday after complaining of intestinal discomfort, according to reports.
"Thank you all for your loving messages," Sheindlin adds. "See you in court. Be on time."

March 31, 2011The Insider.com's Nicole Dabeau was on the red carpet last night at Vivienne Westwood's store opening in Los Angeles. Nicole talked to Vivienne herself about what she thinks of Kate Middleton's sense of style and what she should wear on her wedding day.
When asked what kind of wedding dress she would design for Kate, Vivienne said, "Well it would very much depend on her, she doesn't seem to be very adventurous at the moment. I don't know, hopefully she'll take the opportunity of being young and good looking and do something about it one day."
Watch the video above to hear more of Vivienne's less than thrilled response on Kate's style.

March 31, 2011Is it a friendship or a blooming romance?
In this all-new video, Courteney Cox is seen hitting the beach in St. Barth's with her "Cougar Town" co-star, Josh Hopkins. Also on hand is Cox's daughter, Coco.
When news broke late last year that Cox and husband David Arquette were separating, rumors started spreading that she was in a relationship with her other "Cougar Town" co-star Brian Van Holt.
While Cox has not spoken out about vacationing with Hopkins, a source tells Us Weekly that, "they are strictly, strictly platonic."

And in an apparent snub to Lindsay's father Michael Lohan, her younger sister Ali and mother Dina are also planning to drop the family name and use Dina's maiden moniker 'Sullivan' instead.
Dina tells PopEater.com, "Lindsay is dropping the Lohan and just going by Lindsay. Plus, me and Ali will be officially changing our last names back to my maiden name, Sullivan."
Lindsay and her mother have been engaging in a public war of words with Michael Lohan since his divorce from Dina was finalised in 2007.

The Thursday night premiere of Katy Perry's "E.T." video with Kanye West on MTV and MTV.com is getting closer and closer. Until then, a 60-second teaser of the futuristic, otherworldly clip should tide fans over.
The sneak peek shows Perry floating and spinning somewhere in outer space, decked out in an ethereal and dazzling-white ensemble. She looks like an angelic alien princess, complete with brightly colored makeup and cat-eye contact lenses. The footage of Perry singing is cut with what looks like footage from Animal Planet or National Geographic, showing big cats hunting game.
The remaining 30 seconds show Perry exploring the desolate terrain in an unknown land. She is wearing another highly complex and stylized outfit, a long silky train billowing in the wind. This time, she looks part femme fatale, part warrior goddess, with a little Lara Croft from "Tomb Raider" thrown in. Perry approaches what looks like a broken robot, wiping dust from its eyes. She is then shown reaching down to place her hand over the device's heart, which lights up at her touch.
At this point it's safe to say that this is Perry's most complex, stylized and out-there video production yet. The new clip premieres online at noon Thursday on MTV.com, VH1.com and LogoTV.com. Then, "MTV First: Katy Perry's 'E.T.' " will bow on air at 7:53 p.m. ET before tossing to an MTV.com live stream, featuring MTV News correspondent Sway's exclusive chat with Perry, an interview with director Floria Sigismondi and reaction from Perry's fans.

Britney Spears allegedly defrauded a company that hooked her up with Elizabeth Arden in a deal that made Britney a fortune ... this according to a $10 million lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
Brand Sense Partners, LLC claims it had a deal with Brit in which the company would get 35% of Britney's profits in return for securing a perfume contract with Elizabeth Arden.
According to the suit obtained by TMZ, Britney and her dad defrauded Brand Sense by entering into a secret deal with Elizabeth Arden, allegedly robbing Brand Sense of millions in the marketing of her perfume, Radiance.
The suit claims Brand Sense caught Jamie "red-handed" in circumventing their deal.
The lawsuit seeks more than $10 million in damages.
No response yet from Britney's camp.

Britney Spears' new album, Femme Fatale, is a chugging dance-pop album full of sexual innuendo and thumping beats, made even sexier by Spears' flirty singing style. It's Spears' latest release since 2008's Circus, which sped straight up the charts as soon as Britney's dedicated fans could get their hands on it.
While Spears remained somewhat under the radar for her last release, this time around, the pop star has been on a media blitz, and as of press time, Spears had the #1 album on iTunes. Hits Daily Double Senior Editor Roy Trakin explained to MTV News that judging from sales so far, Spears will likely have the #1 album by next week.
"We're going out with the projection 275,000 to 300,000 [albums sold]; probably below label projections but those are always inflated. I think everything's kicking in. There seems to be a lot of press attention," he said of the album. "I think this is still a healthy total for her given the market and given where her career has been. This is a good showing."
Not only have sales been strong, music critics have also been loving the album. "The critical reception seems to be fairly positive, as well. That doesn't have much to do with sales, but the general feeling is positive. She's gonna be #1," Trakin said. "300,000 is the over-under."
This week, some of Spears' biggest competition comes from Adele, whose 21 has been selling consistently well for weeks, Jennifer Hudson's newest release, I Remember Me, which sits at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart, Chris Brown, whose album F.A.M.E. is currently the #1 album in the country, and this week's other big new release, Wiz Khalifa's debut album, Rolling Papers.
"Given the state of the market right now, this will probably be, I would think, this will end up being the second biggest debut of the year. Only Adele would be larger this year," Trakin said. "That's pretty good, actually. The real big story this week is Wiz Khalifa with Rolling Papers, with between 190,000 and 215,000."
Is there any chance of an upset that forces Spears out of the #1 spot? Trakin explains that that is unlikely, saying, "The Wiz Khalifa showing is strong, but it's about 100,000 below what Britney's gonna do."
To see what Spears has to say about the album and to watch her as she puts the finishing touches on it, don't miss the "Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale" special, airing Sunday, April 3, at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) ? Actresses Jennifer Aniston and Demi Moore and singer Alicia Keys will each direct a short film about breast cancer and its impact on people's lives for cable television network Lifetime.
"Friends" co-creator Marta Kauffman is overseeing the collection of five short films called "Project Five," the TV network said on Tuesday. This is the first time she and Aniston have worked together since the sitcom "Friends" ended in 2004.
Aniston, Keys and Moore will each direct a short movie, as will filmmaker Patty Jenkins, who made the 2003 crime drama "Monster." A fifth director will be chosen later.
Kauffman supervised a team of writers that came up with five stories that use humor and drama to show the effects of breast cancer on women's relationships and how they perceive themselves, said Lifetime Networks.
The collection of five short films, slated to air sometime this year, will be produced by Sony Pictures Television.

When Katy Perry's "E.T." video, featuring Kanye West, premieres on MTV and MTV.com on Thursday, fans should expect a decidedly cinematic experience.
"With Teenage Dream, the record in whole, I knew I wanted to give so many different flavors, so many different ideas, and just make a different 'movie' for each song," Perry told MTV News of her latest album, which has already spawned clips for "California Gurls," "Firework" and the title track. "I feel like I've done that."
The "E.T." video will premiere at noon Thursday on MTV.com, VH1.com and LogoTV.com. Then, "MTV First: Katy Perry's 'E.T.' " will bow on air at 7:53 p.m. ET before tossing to an MTV.com live stream, featuring MTV News correspondent Sway's exclusive chat with Perry, an interview with director Floria Sigismondi and reaction from Perry's fans.
Perry has noticed a shift in public opinion about her with the release of each Teenage Dream video, and she's thinking "E.T." will be no exception.
"It's interesting to see a lot of the commentary that goes along with growth," she marveled. "People are like, 'OK, I like her,' finally, or like, 'Damn, I hate to admit it, but we're on the Katy Perry train,' which is really exciting, and i feel like I worked really hard for that.
"I knew starting with 'I Kissed a Girl' that it might have taken a little bit longer to get everybody just onboard the Katy Perry train, I guess," she added. "But now, I'm having so much fun and I get to be so creative and try different things and expand, and I never play it safe ? in any way, really."

ROME (AFP) ? Hollywood star George Clooney and Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo could testify in Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's defence in his upcoming sex trial, a lawyer told AFP Tuesday.
Clooney and his girlfriend Elisabetta Canalis, according to the defence, were among those who attended parties at Berlusconi's villa at Arcore which the prosecution says was the scene of orgies and strip-shows with prostitutes.
The 74-year old premier is to stand trial on April 6 for allegedly having paid pole dancer Karima El Mahroug, nicknamed "Ruby the Heart Stealer", for sex when she was 17, after one of his parties.
"We have proposed George Clooney as a witness," the lawyer said. "Ruby says both Clooney and Canalis were at a party at Arcore."
Clooney issued a statement expressing puzzlement.
"It seems odd since I've only met Berlusconi once and that was in an attempt to get aid into Darfur," he said.
The voluptuous dark-haired dancer told investigating judges she had sex with Real Madrid player Ronaldo after meeting him in a Milan nightclub in January 2010.
Ronaldo, currently the highest-paid footballer in the world, has denied ever meeting Ruby or giving her 4,000 euros in cash for her sexual services.
The current trial is centred around allegations that Berlusconi not only paid for sex with Ruby, but improperly used his power as prime minister by asking police to release her after she was arrested for suspected theft in May.
Both Ruby and Berlusconi have denied they had sexual relations.
Using the services of prostitutes is not a crime in Italy, but paying for sex with a girl under the age of 18 is illegal.
Ruby turned 18 in November 2010, and the prosecution alleges that Berlusconi had sex with her several months earlier.
The prosecution has submitted its own list of 136 witnesses, including 49 girls who attended the billionaire media magnate's parties, some of whom have provided photographic and video evidence of the raunchy evenings.
The defence team have argued that these witnesses have lied over Berlusconi's alleged nights with prostitutes and raucous parties with orgies and guests dressed up as nurses or policewomen.
The Milan judges may decide to refused to grant the defence's proposed witnesses if they decide their testimony is not relevant to the case in question.
Clooney is no stranger to Italian courts. In 2010 the 49-year-old Hollywood heart-throb appeared at the fraud trial of three people accused of having co-opted his name for a fashion label.
The Golden Globe-winning actor has a house on the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy, not far from Berlusconi's private villa at Arcore.
He spends several months a year there, sometimes with Italian model and actress Canalis.
She too features on the list of 78 witnesses the premier's legal team would like to call in Berlusconi's defence.

DONALD Trump has an impressive team of celebrity apprentices this season and all of them seem to be taking it quite seriously indeed.
Survivor winner Richard Hatch established himself as the villain of the piece in the very first episode, in which he repeatedly pushed, poked and belittled diminutive singer David Cassidy (who was subsequently eliminated).
The ebulliently eccentric actor Gary Busey has already been a bit of a show stealer and other apprentices to watch include singers Meat Loaf and Dionne Warwick, rapper Lil Jon, supermodel Niki Taylor and La Toya Jackson.

NEW YORK ? Rob Lowe gives fellow Brat Packer Charlie Sheen a slight edge when it comes to partying.
Lowe tells Vanity Fair that in past days, he and Sheen "competed to see who could play harder, then show up for work."
Lowe recently finished his autobiography and shared excerpts with the magazine. He calls Sheen "a wonderful mix of nerd and rebel" and speaks of days when the two were relatively unknown actors who plotted their careers in Sheen's pool.
Sheen has made headlines for his wild partying. He was fired from his hit CBS show, then alleged breach of contract and sued the show's producers.
The May issue of Vanity Fair will be on newsstands in New York and Los Angeles on Thursday and across the nation April 5.
NEW YORK ? "Grey's Anatomy" is being billed as a musical episode this week, but you won't see Patrick Dempsey and Sandra Oh doing a kick line.
"The word 'musical' tends to mislead people," said cast member Sara Ramirez, who plays Callie Torres. "Understandably so. The word 'musical' implies that there's dancing, a lot of jazz hands and some kicks and some turns."
"Grey's Anatomy: The Musical Event" will pick up where last week's show left off with Ramirez's character injured in a car accident. The episode will be told from her point of view.
Music has always been a big part of the ABC medical drama. Since it premiered in 2005, three soundtracks featuring music by such artists as Tegan and Sara, Ingrid Michaelson and KT Tunstall have been released.
On Thursday, longtime viewers of the show might recognize songs from early episodes, such as "Chasing Cars" by Snow Patrol and "How to Save a Life" by The Fray ? but this time, the cast will perform them.
Singing is nothing new for Ramirez. She won a Tony Award for best featured actress in a musical for her role in "Spamalot" in 2005.
Still, she admitted the experience was a challenging one.
"I wasn't walking into this like, `Oh, I've got this. I've done this before,'" she said. "I learned a lot."
Ramirez is using the experience as a platform to launch a career as a music artist. She's released an EP on iTunes where she co-wrote three of the four songs. She performs one of them, "The Story," on "Grey's Anatomy."
Of the cast members who sing in the episode, Ramirez said Chyler Leigh, who plays Lexie Grey, stood out.
"She just blew everybody away, and I think we're all really excited for her. ... She has this amazing instrument and she's never sung publicly before, which I thought was really interesting and courageous. She just jumped right in and did an amazing job."
The episode airs at 9 p.m. Eastern.

A family member tells TMZ, 6-year-old Enzo -- who suffers from leukemia -- has conquered his initial disappointment and is now focusing on his upcoming swim sesh with real-life dolphins.
We're told Enzo not only sleeps in his bathing suit -- but when he's awake, he spends a huge chunk of his free time learning to swim ... all to make his new wish a reality.

Katy Perry's much-anticipated "E.T." video will land Thursday exclusively on MTV and MTV.com.
The video ? directed by Floria Sigismondi and featuring none other than Kanye West ? will first premiere at noon on MTV.com, VH1.com and LogoTV.com.
"MTV First: Katy Perry's 'E.T.' " will bow on air at 7:53 p.m. ET, and then tosses to MTV.com's live stream, direct from the MTV Newsroom, featuring MTV News correspondent Sway's exclusive interview with Perry, an interview with Sigismondi, and reaction from Perry's fans.
"MTV First" caps off a full day of Katy-related content across all MTV platforms. Beginning on Thursday morning, MTV and MTV Hits will feature blocks of Perry's best-known videos, and at 5 p.m. ET, MTV's "The Seven" will feature an interview with Perry. And just before the on-air premiere of "E.T.," fans will be treated to an exclusive introduction from Katy herself.
On Friday ? the day after the video's premiere ? TeenNick, Logo and Tr3s will spotlight the video as part of TeenNick's "Obsess This" music block, Logo's "NewNowNext" and Tr3s' "Fresca Video."
And though the premiere is still three days away, promotion for the clip has already begun: Not only has Perry been tweeting photos of her fans after they've been "abducted" by extraterrestrials, but now it seems that both her website and Facebook page have also been taken over by the same aliens, who are communicating with fans in a bizarre written language.

Willie Nelson?s pot possession case could end on a high note -- because the singer may get off with little more than a small fine ... if he agrees to SING IN COURT.
Nelson was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession back in November ... after U.S. Border Patrol in Texas found weed on his tour bus -- but the prosecutor in the case is willing to let Willie off with a $100 fine ... if he sings "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain? INSIDE� the courtroom.
According to the prosecutor, the song would count as his community service -- but Willie's punishment ultimately rests in the judge's hands.
No word if Nelson will accept the offer ... but it's a good deal -- because if he gets convicted he faces a maximum of 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.
Refreshing but troublesome honesty from the girl who pushed Jenelle Evans into her nemesis last week -- a push which triggered an insane fight that landed all 3 girls in the slammer.
Brittany Maggard, the pusher, tells TMZ ... "Jenelle wanted to go and fight Britany because of something with her man.� She was scared and wouldn't go fight by herself so I went to help her out."
Maggard continues, "Ya I instigated it, but what the hell are we supposed to do?� I wanted to see them fight!"
And get this!� Maggard says, "I'm pissed though because I went down to help her out, we both ended up in jail, she got bailed out before me and when I called her to get me out, she didn't come." No loyalty.
And of course, the mugshot:� "I'm just glad my mug didn't show my socks.� My socks weren't matching.� I had one Spider-Man sock and one green sock on."
And, clearly, Brittany is an expert in socks.

For those wondering just what is entailed in the job of a modern spy, 'Fair Game' provides a reasonable signpost to this clandestine art.
In 2001, Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts), a covert officer in the CIA, discovers that Iraq has no active nuclear weapons programme, contrary to the belief of the Bush government. Around the same time, her husband, Joe Wilson (Sean Penn), a former ambassador to Niger, is sent by the White House to Africa to investigate the possible sale of enriched uranium to Iraq - a suspicion that would form part of the reasoning behind the invasion of the country by Allied forces in the so-called Weapons of Mass Destruction argument.
After the White House ignores Wilson's findings that no such activity took place and eventually declares war on Iraq, Wilson - an admitted 'truth-teller' by nature - retaliates by writing a piece in The New York Times outlining his ignored facts. What followed was a firestorm of controversy that changed careers.
Shortly after the newspaper expos� which created a major embarrassment for the government, Palme's covert status gets leaked by unknown sources to high-profile Washington journalists. Was it an unfortunate coincidence or a co-ordinated campaign to retaliate against her husband for his very public disagreement with the government? The unidentified source appeared to be a high-ranking Bush administration official. As the controversy ignited, Karl Rove, the White House spin doctor, allegedly declared that "Valerie Plame is fair game".
Sam Plame (Sam Shepard) and Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts) in a true story about truth and lies, 'Fair Game'.
As the couple's lives begin to unravel in an intense media spotlight, each reacted very differently to the campaign against them. Joe fired back with both barrels, alleging that exposing Valerie's covert identify was a criminal act. However, after a lifetime working in the shadows, Valerie was reluctant to go public.
A woman who led a secret life for a long time and whose closest friends believed she worked as a venture capitalist is suddenly thrust into the spotlight and revealed as a spy, forced to speak out publicly and defend her life. It was the ultimate reversal of fortune.
With the bad days of the Bush presidency fast becoming a blur in the more enlightened age of Obama, the Valerie Palme affair still resonates one of that government's most appalling misadventures.
With director Doug Liman of 'The Bourne Identity' at the helm and a cracking script from brothers Jez and John-Henry Butterworth, 'Fair Game' is one of the most intelligent dramas so far this year. Though the story and its eventual outcome are well-known, it is nevertheless presented in a well-constructed, sharp and tension-filled manner that will engage even with those who have no knowledge of recent American history.
With the leaking of Palme's identity eventually traced back to Vice-President Dick Cheney's aide Lewis 'Scooter' Libby (David Andrews) - a perfect example of the repulsive career bureaucrat - the film paints a vivid picture of political expediency on a collision course with democracy.
'Fair Game' is a story about the truth and lies, real patriots and glory wannabes, as well as heroes and villains.
Penn and Watts are excellent, especially at their frequent dinner parties where even the most heated political discussion allows them no space to divulge their insider status.
'Fair Game' is about politics and what happens when we take liberty for granted. "Democracy is not a free ride," says Joe Wilson, while Valerie Palme takes a more emotional view: "You have to know why you're lying to never forget the truth." They are both lessons that apply to politicians everywhere.
