Samantha Ronson, the DJ sister of record producer Mark Ronson and girlfriend of actress Lindsay Lohan, was briefly admitted to hospital last week... and blamed the stress of Chanucah for her ailment.

Ronson said her schedule left no time to buy Chanucah presents and that this led to a minor breakdown. She explained on her MySpace page: “Happy Chanucah! Thanks for all your messages. I’m home and all good.

“I was just pretty exhausted from travelling and working too much to buy Chanucah gifts and my Jewish mother was worried about me.”

We recommend a comforting doughnut or two.
