Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has been admitted to New York-Presbyterian Hospital for treatment of a blood clot following a recent concussion.

Spokesman Philippe Reines indicates that the head of the State Department visited her doctor Sunday for a follow-up exam and it was during this office visit that a blood clot was discovered.

Clinton, who recently told Barbara Walters that she was exhausted from four years of constant international travel, has been placed on anti-coagulant medications and will be monitored in the hospital for the next 48 hours.

According to Reines, doctors will continue to assess Clinton’s condition, “including other issues associated with her concussion.”

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton is reportedly recovering from a fall that occurred last week at her Washington, D.C. home, a mishap that left her with a concussion.

Alone at the time of the fall, Hillary opted not to seek medical help for her head injury until several days later.  Her personal physician indicates that the high-profile politician was dehydrated from a recent trip to Europe when she fainted.

The State Department issued a statement on behalf of the former First Lady,  “She has been recovering at home and will continue to be monitored regularly by her doctors.  At their recommendation, she will continue to work from home next week, staying in regular contact with Department and other officials.”

Clinton will be unable to testify, as planned, before Congress about her knowledge of the September attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and two Navy Seals.

Last week Hillary was named one of Barbara Walters 10 most fascinating people of 2012.

The former First Lady plans to step down from her State Department post in January.  It is expected that U.S. Senator John Kerry will be confirmed as the next Secretary of State.

Christina Aguilera of ‘The Voice’ sat down with Ellen DeGeneres for an interview that will air Friday on her talk show.

The most entertaining subject during their chat, by far, was Xtina’s reaction to the now infamous photo of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton checking out her cleavage.

It was during a leadership awards ceremony in October that the former First Lady couldn’t take her eyes off of Christina’s chest.  In retrospect, the singer said, “That picture looks like it was Photoshopped but it’s not.  That was a real moment.”

Hear what Augilera told Ellen about Hillary’s ogle on the video clip below:

Rediscovering her Yale look …

Hillary Clinton, at age 64, has decided that she really doesn’t care what other people think about her hair, makeup and choice of eyewear.

With a 65 percent approval rating … seriously, why should she?

A long time has passed since her days at Yale University, when she shied away from any type of glam look.  That all changed some years later when her politician husband Bill Clinton decided to leave Arkansas behind and run for the highest office in the land.

The brilliant Hillary was spiffed up for the campaign and kept right on being buffed and fluffed during their two terms in the White House.  Then there was that successful tenure as U.S. Senator from New York.  Smart suits, perfect hair and makeup.

She followed that up with an unsuccessful bid against Barack Obama for the Democratic presidential nomination but did score a dream job as Secretary of State.

Throughout most of this period we saw Hillary looking stylized and camera ready … and then suddenly people thought she was looking very, very tired.

Clinton decided in 2011 that she would return to the private sector in 2013 rather than serve a second term.  With that decision came the gradual shift from perfectly coiffed to a more casual … ‘what you see is what you get’ approach.

Hillary recently took some heat for what many described as an unkempt look during a high-profile visit to Bangladesh.   As is her typical outspoken style, Clinton said, “I feel so relieved to be at the stage I’m at in my life.  If I want to wear my glasses I’m going to wear my glasses.  If I want to pull my hair back I’m pulling my hair back.”

Rock on Hillary!

Hillary Rodham Clinton cancelled a planned trip to London on Monday because her mother was ill.  Dorothy Rodham died early Tuesday morning at the age of 92.

She was last publicly photographed at the 2010 wedding of her granddaughter Chelsea Clinton, who wed Marc Mezvinsky in a lavish ceremony.

The Secretary of State issued a family statement, “She was a warm, generous and strong woman…an intellectual; a woman who told a great joke and always got the joke; an extraordinary friend and, most of all, a loving wife, mother and grandmother.”

Rodham had been living with her daughter outside of Washington D.C. since 2006.  She died at Georgetown University Hospital, surrounded by family.

Her husband Hugh E. Rodham died in 1993.  They raised three children: Hillary, Hugh and Tony.

The family plans to hold a private celebration of her life.
