The German soccer star Sebastian Deisler (pictured) is being treated for depression as an inpatient again. He's gone through this before, sadly, but this latest bout seems to have been prompted by his being excluded from the World Cup due to an injury. That is indeed a bummer. I like how he's being open about the reason for his hospitalization, as he has been in past years. Germany is quite progressive in a lot of ways.

Also, Bollywood actor Navin Nischol's wife Geetaniali killed herself this week, and it looks like a campaign is on to blame Nischol and his brother Pravin for her suicide. (Side note: I think Nischol's parents should be blamed for giving their sons rhyming names. That seems mean.)
