US radio star Rush Limbaugh's health scare over

Right-wing US talk show host Rush Limbaugh says tests taken after he was admitted to hospital with chest pains showed nothing wrong with his heart.

Mr Limbaugh said he was being released from the Queen's Medical Center, in Honolulu, Hawaii, where he had been since Wednesday.

He said he did not know what had caused the chest pains.

Mr Limbaugh, 58, is highly influential in the US and his radio show is one of the most popular in the country.

It is broadcast on some 600 stations across the country and heard by more than 14 million people every week.

Earlier, standing in on Mr Limbaugh's radio show, guest host Walter E Williams had described the radio star's pains as similar to the feeling of a "heart attack coming on".

But doctors said Mr Limbaugh had not had a heart attack and did not suffer from heart disease, the Associated Press news agency reported.

Mr Limbaugh is in Hawaii on holiday.

Star Trek was the 'most pirated movie' of 2009

The latest Star Trek film was illegally downloaded more than 10 million times in 2009, according to an internet blog site that monitors file-sharing.

The figures suggest it is 2009's most pirated film, ahead of Transformers sequel Revenge of the Fallen.

Guy Ritchie's RocknRolla was the third most pirated movie, with The Hangover and Twilight completing the top five.

The TorrentFreak blog reports on peer-to-peer activity which uses BitTorrent file-sharing software.

BitTorrent is one of the most popular means of transferring large files over the internet.

Other films featured in the list of most illegally downloaded titles include sci-fi thriller District 9 and the sixth Harry Potter adventure.

But X-Men Origins: Wolverine ranks fairly low in the Top 10, despite an unfinished version of the film appearing online ahead of its release.

Directed by JJ Abrams, Star Trek charted the early days of James T Kirk, Mr Spock and other crew members of the Starship Enterprise.
