It's been a rough week for Fantasia Barrino.
The American Idol season 3 champ was hospitalized Monday in Charlotte, N.C., after overdosing on aspirin and a sleep aid, her manager Brian Dickens confirmed Tuesday.
"Her injuries are not life threatening. She was dehydrated and exhausted at the time," Dickens said. "Fantasia is stable now. She will be released from the hospital soon."
According to the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department, the incident was classified as a suicide attempt. The police report lists Dickens as the reporting person and says Barrino was found with "possible internal injuries."
That year she won AI there was a local gal named Diana DeGarmo who came in second place. I think Diana is having a much better life than Fantasia. DeGarmo is on broadway and is currently in Hello Dolly.
Do they call each other Fant and Ant?

Sorry! I just saw your ping now. It was on the gossip blogs that she admitted she tried to OD.
