Jordin Sparks 'Sore' But on the Mend Following Appendectomy

By PopEater Staff Posted Nov 20th 2009 09:46AM

First Glenn Beck and now this!?! Inflamed appendixes are wreaking havoc on celebrities this month, with Jordin Sparks the latest victim.

The 'American Idol' winner is on the mend after having an attack of acute appendicitis this past week. She had the little bugger removed on Wednesday night and is now "feeling a little better but very sore," the singer told fans on Twitter.

She later Tweeted that her "whole body hurts ... every time I move," but that relief was on its way in the form of "real food" from her mother and a full slate of 'Law & Order' episodes on the hospital TV.

Sparks says she plans on spending the "next week or so" in recovery. In the meantime, she's jealous about missing out on the big movie event this weekend. "I think I'm the only one not seeing New Moon right now," she wrote, "Tell me how the movie is!"

Meanwhile Beck, a FOX News commentator, was rushed to the hospital on Nov. 4 to have his appendix removed. He returned to his blackboard a week later.

Jordan Sparks has more talent than you ever will.
The entertainment business is not easy to get any kind of contract. Good for her if her father stepped up to the plate.

By Patti

Jordin has so much more talent than that screeching Carrie Underwood has. Good for her is her father helped her out. Sick of hearing all the drivel about Underwood.

I like BBWs and Jordan is a tall drink of water. She's also a great performer and has a terrific future. Good luck in all she does.

I wish her all the best. I met Jordan in Sacramento after the Idol concert. Besides if being a terrifc performer she is a really beautiful and very nice person
