Dog the Bounty Hunter battling pulmonary embolism in heart
Duane "Dog the Bounty Hunter" Chapman is suffering from a pulmonary embolism in the heart.
"You're a ticking time bomb," Dr. Mehmet Oz told Chapman in a preview of Monday's episode of The Dr. Oz Show.
"You're not going to be here with the heart the way it is right now. Fear of death is normal. I'm surprised you don't fear death when you're chasing after convicts. But when you run away from doctor, that means you have to do your own doctoring."
The 66-year-old reality TV star was hospitalized two weeks ago for chest pains.
He is now taking blood thinners, eating a healthier diet and trying to quit smoking.
His wife, Beth Chapman, died of cancer in June. She was 51.
"I don't want to die right now. I'm not afraid to die anymore, but I really didn't care for awhile if something would happen. I do care now," Chapman told People magazine after the clip for The Dr. Oz Show was released on Friday.
Chapman can now be seen on the WGN America series, Dog's Most Wanted.

LOOSE LIPS:
"Everyone takes themselves so seriously at that school. I think these people are arrogant, they're pretentious ... I don't want Monroe to be in a strict school with overachievers and massive homework. She has her whole life to be stressed out. It's preschool, let her be a kid and have fun."
--Jeff Lewis, speaking out against 2 1/2-year-old daughter Monroe's Montessori pre-school after she was expelled due to his public criticisms of the school, on his SiriusXM radio show Jeff Lewis Live

'The King's Man': A new spy agency is formed in latest trailer
 The origins of the Kingsman series are explored in the latest trailer for upcoming prequel, The King's Man.
The clip, released on Sunday, features Ralph Fiennes helping to form the first independent intelligence agency amid World War I.
Fiennes also takes star Harris Dickinson under his wing, teaching him along with Djimon Hounsou and Gemma Arterton how to fight and be an effective spy.
The group crosses paths with Rasputin (Rhys Ifans) who serves as the film's main villain.
"While governments wait for orders, our people take action," Fiennes says.
The King's Man, from series director Matthew Vaughn, is set to arrive in theaters on Feb. 14. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Matthew Goode, Tom Hollander, Stanley Tucci, Daniel Bruhl and Charles Dance also star.
The film takes place decades before the events of Vaughn's Kingsman: The Secret Service and Kingsman: The Golden Circle which starred Taron Egerton and Colin Firth. The films are based on the comic book The Secret Service by writer Mark Millar and artist Dave Gibbons.

Which wrestling star recalls being picked on for his fashion sense?
John Cena says he used to get picked on because of his fashion sense.
The 42-year-old wrestler and actor recalled on Monday's episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show how he was bullied as a child for his flamboyant and Kris Kross-inspired wardrobe.
Host Ellen DeGeneres showed a throwback photo of Cena wearing a fedora, tank top and printed shorts.
"I have a very peculiar fashion sense," Cena said. "I lived in a very small town and that is like the tamest of outfits."
"I used to wear airbrushed overalls, the MC Hammer pants, used to put my shirts on backwards, keep all the tags on my clothes," he added.
DeGeneres also showed a picture of a very muscular and tan Cena striking a pose in a speedo.
"That is me at 21 years old," Cena said. "Once again, a peculiar fashion sense, as there is not much material there and I believe I've fallen into a bucket of paint."
"I was actually living in my car around the time that was taken. I was homeless," he shared. "I worked at a gym, so I just used the locker room at the gym as my house."
As an adult, Cena said in an interview with GQ in 2018 that he is partial to wearing suits.
"Style and fashion is all about confidence, and a nice suit is where I keep my confidence level," he said.
Cena is filming the new movie Fast & Furious 9 in London. The film stars Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, Tyrese Gibson and Ludacris, and opens in theaters in May.
