Dean McDermott Released From the ICU

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 2nd 2010 04:36PM

Reality TV star Dean McDermott was released from the ICU earlier today after being treated for a punctured and collapsed lung following a motorcycle accident, PEOPLE reports.

McDermott's wife, actress Tori Spelling, Tweeted earlier today that her husband was moved to a regular room. She also said she was bringing their kids, Stella, 2, and Liam, 3, to the Los Angeles hospital to visit their dad.

Spelling added that McDermott was feeling better: "I said to [Dean], 'Babe do u want anything?' He said 'Oreo McFlurry!' So his spirits are up despite all the pain."

McDermott ended up in intensive care on Tuesday after crashing his motorcycle while riding with two friends. Spelling was called immediately. "His friend called me and said he was in the ER," she said. "He didn't want to scare me, so he just said he had a crash and that they were X-raying him."

"At first I was mad," Spelling said. "I was pissed that he was out biking and crashed. But when I showed up and saw him lying there, and they told me they were admitting him to ICU with a collapsed lung, my heart dropped. My biggest fear had come true."

This is McDermot's second motorcycle crash in recent months; he fractured his shoulder earlier this year. But he vows to give up riding after this last accident. "I ended [up] smashing my chest into my bars as I went over the front of the bike. It was a freak accident. Oh, and [I have] 3 stitches in my right butt cheek where a stone got imbedded. Let's just say, I wont be dirt biking anymore," he Tweeted Thursday night.

The couple currently star on the reality show 'Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood.'

MAYBE THIS TIME DEAN WILL REALLY QUIT BIKE RIDING. HE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. I BELIEVE ANYONE WITH YOUNG CHILDREN SHOULD NOT PUT THEMSELVES IF IT CAN BE HELPED IN A POSITION OF DANGER AND RISK MAKING THEIR KIDS FATHER OF MOTHERLESS. I HAVE A SON WHO HAS 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND RIDES A MOTORCYCLE AND I AM ALWAYS ON HIS CASE ABOUT IT FOR THAT VERY REASON. THINK OF YOUR BABIES AND YOUR DEVOTED WIFE DEAN AND QUIT RIDING!!!!

First of all, quit yelling, turn off your CAPS! Second, you could get hit by a bus and die tomorrow, does that mean you should never cross the street? Contrary to your belief, i believe that the best thing you can do for your kids is inspire them to live life to the fullest and enjoy every day, because it could always be your last. You should not teach them to be fearful, that's not what life should be about. Have some fun, go a little crazy, that's what we're here for!

I can't stand the kardashians -- I would say "f... the kardashians," but everyone already is!

Why doesn't anyone listen to the wife? Usually, the wife has a premonition or maybe just a feeling and it is justified. For example, Jackie Kennedy, albeit, the mother, but...said she did not want her son to get a pilot's license until she was gone. So she dies, he does, and he's dead very young. The female intuition is usually right on cue and correct.

Oh, yeah. I hope he gets better soon, the lucky bastard!

If Tori thinks that Dean married her for anything but her money, then it is clear that her home has no mirrors!

In your pole for spy Anna I would choose Ashley Green. Also the Wanted (Angelina Jole)movie was said to be filming a 2nd film and I would want to see up for that as well..She does have a Mar.arts backgrd.

Dean must be an even worse biker than an actor! What a wimp.

By Lindi

I said it before, I'll say it again, Tori would be better off without that lazy arse bastardo, he hangs around because she, her money, gives him the easy life. Keep on riding McDermott and spill youe useless brains all over the pavement! Look at Tori and you see how terrible of a partner he is. And, for all the idiots who say she is ugly...get a mirror and look at yourself, nothing wrong with Toris looks, she is her daddys daughter, and Liam is HER son!

By mommacat

I think Tori and Dean are a perfect match, they are BOTH butt ugly.

By Tamra

Guess Tori really does know best!!!! Hope he is alright though.

By NatTurner

Was this a publicity stunt for ratings?

By *missy*

seriously?

do you really think that someone would put themselves in the ICU for three days to get publicity?

not to mention, this is the first i'm hearing of it, and i'm a news *junkie* ... so i think i'm going to have to disagree with you on that one.

By annie

dean was going as fast as he could on that bike to get away from the butt ugliest drag queen of a wife he has - tori beast monster spelling!

By mec1140

Three strikes and yer out Dean. Quit now, obviously this is not something you're good at.

By Linda

Glad to hear Dean is OK. No matter what you think of a person, don't wish harm for them. Not a fan of reality shows at all, don't watch them. Think they are a waste of our minds. As far as Tori Spelling goes, the ONLY reason she made it in the TV/Hollywood worl is because of her dads name. They wouldn't have looked twice at her otherwise.

I hear witness's saw Candy Spelling running from the scene after hiding behind a rock and tossing a large stick in his front spokes !!
