VETERAN crooner Frank Sinatra (81) was discharged yesterday from Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles.
"His doctors discharged him from Cedars this morning and his prognosis continues to be good," his publicist Susan Reynolds said.
Paramedics took him to the hospital on January 9th after he suffered a heart attack at his home in Beverly Hills.
Rex Kennamer, Sinatra's personal physician, said Sinatra had "an uncomplicated heart attack".
The Duchess of York ran into trouble with a British slimming organisation yesterday after disclosing she had told her eight-year-old daughter Princess Beatrice to lose weight.
Within 24 hours of the announcement that she had been signed up by Weight Watchers, in the US - for a reported million dollar fee - she said she had used some of its ideas on her "chunky" elder daughter.
After seeing the youngster in swimwear, she had told her to cut out bread, chips and fizzy drinks, she said.
Today the UK arm of the company made its disapproval clear. Linda Huett, vice president of the UK firm, said: "Weight Watchers UK does not believe that children should ever be encouraged to diet."
Princess Diana stepped off a plane and into a chauffeured limousine in London yesterday after declaring herself "humbled" by a tour of Angola's minefields and emotional meetings with its civil war victims.

Some ministers and politicians complained angrily but anonymously that she was overstepping her bounds and upstaging the government's own diplomatic efforts against land mines.
