An urgent warning has been issued by the Health Department, warning the star-studded crowd who attended the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue party on Valentine's Day that they may have been exposed to acute hepatitis A. The list of possibly exposed guests; Beyonce Knowles, Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend Bar Rafaeli, and dozens of bikini models.
The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health confirmed that an employee of Wolfgang Puck Catering was recently diagnosed with the disease, and has strongly urged anyone who attended the SI party, or any of the 13 other events catered by Puck between Feb. 1- 20, to get an immune globulin shot by tomorrow to prevent illness.
When contacted, a rep from Puck's catering company would not tell TMZ which other events Puck catered, nor would they reveal how many other people may have been exposed to the illness. They did say, however, that no one who attended Sunday's Governor's Ball at the Academy Awards is at risk.
A rep for Beyonce did not immediately return our call for comment.

Did you give her an Oprah hug? You know where you go up to someone like you are going to hug them, and then you just clasp hands and do a mini Jane Fonda workout, and say "Good to see ya, good to see ya."

I wondered how long it would take you to start rubbing elbows with the bigwigs. Just know that if we start seeing pictures of you hanging with Paris or Brittany, some, or all of us are coming to LA for intervention.
