JOHN KARLEN UPDATE

OCT. 19: John Karlen is back in the hospital. Marie Maginity took to Facebook earlier this week to let people know about the change in his health, which she says was prompted by "bad eating habits."

It's unclear how long Karlen will be in the hospital but, when he's discharged, he will be returning to the rehabilitation center that treated him earlier this year.
