Demi Moore has been snapped returning to Los Angeles following her stay in rehab.

The Hollywood star was hospitalised in January and has been staying in the Bahamas after seeking treatment for exhaustion.

Demi – who split from husband Ashton Kutcher in November amid rumours of his infidelity – was rushed to hospital on January 24 apparently suffering from a seizure.

Ashton, 33 and her ex-husband Bruce Willis both visited her shortly afterwards at the home she shares with her three daughters, Rumer, 23, Scout, 20, and Tallulah, 17.

The 911 call made from Demi’s home was released, in which a caller says the actress appeared to be convulsing and may have “smoked something”.

Demi has since pulled out of starring as feminist Gloria Steinem in Lovelace – a biopic about porn star Linda Lovelace – and has been replaced by Sarah Jessica Parker.

Dictionary 50 years in the making

It’s a dictionary that took about 50 years to complete, and the final volume arrives just in time for the 2012 US presidential election with words such as snollygoster, a southern US term for a self-promoting politician.

The recently completed Dictionary of American Regional English offers a broad history of how the English language is spoken in the US, and explains more than 60,000 regional words and phrases, revealing the mysteries of the likes of hoagie, skeeter and pandowdy.

A University of Wisconsin English professor started work on the dictionary about 50 years ago. The final volume, covering S to Z, is set to be released later this month.

Cupcake ATM for US sweet tooths

The Beverly Hills cupcake bakery Sprinkles has installed a cupcake vending machine at its flagship store that will dispense sweet frosting and cake in snack-size portions, around the clock.

Founder and owner Candace Nelson says her company is rolling out the first hi-tech cupcake vending machine in LA, with three more in the works for New York City by summer.

The ATM-like machine features a touchscreen and a robotic arm that pulls the cupcake of choice from a wall of boxes inside the store. Ms Nelson says the custom-built gadget is in response to demand for increased hours at the popular store.
