Carrie Fisher has cancelled her appearance at the Emerald City Comicon this weekend. The actress was hospitalized briefly, following a bizarre performance last week cruising the Caribbean aboard Holland America’s “Eurodam.” She sang off key, rambled, and cleaned up after her dog, who reportedly was doing numbers 1 & 2 all over the stage.

The episode appears to be the latest battle in Fisher’s war with bi-polar disorder, which she has been very public about. In fact, her Emerald City Comicon panel, now cancelled, was titled “Shockaholic,” presumably after the controversial shock-therapy she says has been helpful in her struggle. Her entertaining one-woman show “Wishful Drinking,” goes into detail about her experiences.

Great gossip for the water cooler, but there’s nothing funny about mental illness. I wish Carrie the best and, like many Emerald City Comicon fans, hope to see the good Princess Leia reschedule her appearance soon.
