Bald And Beautiful Joan Lunden Opens Up About Her Battle With Breast Cancer

Posted on Wed Sep 24th, 2014 11:55am PDT       By X17 Staff

In June Joan Lunden announced that she was battling a very aggressive form of breast cancer, and now the former Good Morning America anchor graces the cover of People magazine and chats candidly about her struggle with the disease.

Lunden, 64, has already been through several rounds of chemotherapy, and on Tuesday she underwent surgery to remove a tumor. Lunden phoned in to The Today Show on Wednesday to discuss her new magazine cover, and she revealed that she will join the show as a special correspondent during National Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.

"It was such a tough decision. As a parent, I worried how my kids would think," Joan said about going bald for the cover shot. "And it wasn’t the comfortable decision — knowing you were going to be seen by everyone in such a vulnerable way — but I know it was the right decision."

"I knew I could be a voice for a quarter of a million women who are diagnosed every year with breast cancer, and I wanted to show that your health is more important than your hair," she continued. "Your hair grows back after you stop chemo, and then you have your life."

Joan said she consulted with her kids, and her 11-year-old son, Max, told her to "definitely do it without hair." Joan tells the mag, "I had to make this big decision about whether or not to do the cover with no hair. It certainly isn't the comfortable way to go, but I decided I was going to try and help others and show women that this isn't the end of the world. You can go on – and that was hugely empowering."

Cindy Crawford looks so good -- it's unreal. The 48-year-old looked picture perfect before hoping on a Swissair flight bound for Europe.

The supermodel is jet setting across the pond for pal George Clooney's super exclusive Italian wedding this weekend. And we're super jealous! Cindy's hubby Rande Gerber is best buds and business partners with George (they own a tequila company) -- and the couple often vacations with the Ocean's 11 superstar.

Wearing slim jeans and a leather jacket for the international flight, the stunning mom-of-two showed off her fit form in her figure-hugging ensemble. We wonder what she'll wear to the highly anticipated wedding?!

Is this what her tresses naturally look like?

Rihanna stepped out in N.Y.C. last night wearing a little black dress, awkward looking running shoes, and a trench coat, but what really caught our attention was the fact she seemed to be going without her signature weave! RiRi changes hair styles almost as much as she changes clothes, but it appears she's giving her scalp a break and rocking her real locks for once.

We want her to go back to blonde!

 

Jessica Simpson Gushes About Married Life, Reveals She's Changing Her Last Name To Johnson

Posted on Wed Sep 24th, 2014 10:50am PDT       By X17 Staff



She's got everything a girl could want!

Jessica Simpson appeared on the Today show this morning and the fashion mogul couldn't help but gush about how sweet her life is these days, and how happy she is being married to husband Eric Johnson.

"Marriage has changed us in a lot of ways. We are a little more addicted to each other. There is a level of love that has reached the highest of highs," she cooed to host Matt Lauer. Speaking of change, the blonde beauty also revealed plans to take her hubby's last name!

"When I renew my license that's very expired, I'm going to be Jessica Johnson," she proclaimed, accidentally exposing her delinquent DMV status in the process.

The mother-of-two has never looked hotter after losing more than 50 pounds as the Weight Watchers spokesperson, and although she says she "feels more comfortable" in her own skin now, she maintains that she never let the scrutiny around her size affect her self esteem. "It empowered me to rise above and stand up for all the women out there that do have trouble losing the weight. It wasnt my priority to please the public and make them feel like I'm supposed to be looking like when I was 25," she said confidently.

Sounds like she got her fairytale!

 

BREAKING NEWS - Amber Rose Files For Divorce From Wiz Khalifa

Another one bites the dust!

Amber Rose has filed for divorce from husband Wiz Khalifa, citing irreconcilable differences and requesting full physical and legal custody of their 1-year-old son Sebastian. The blonde beauty is willing to give the rapper visitation privileges, though.

There is a prenup, which provides her spousal support, and she has no plans to challenge it. The pair married in July 2013 and welcomed their baby boy in February 2013.

We wonder if this has anything to do with her close relationship to Nick Cannon? After all, his relationship with Mariah Carey crumbled right around the time he signed on to manage the bald bombshell. Let the infidelity rumors begin!

 

Paulina Gretzky Announces Pregnancy After Fiance Dustin Johnson Is Kicked Off PGA Tour

Posted on Wed Sep 24th, 2014 9:54am PDT       By X17 Staff


Paulina Gretzky and fiance Dustin Johnson are expecting their first child together!

Paulina, 25, posted the above photo on Instagram and wrote, "@djohnsonpga & i are so excited to finally share with you all our amazing news..we're having a baby!!" She looks like she's about 6 months along, so this totally took us by surprise!

As you might know, Johnson made the news this summer when he was reportedly kicked off the PGA Tour following a failed drug test, and he's currently on a six-month suspension. Though the PGA has yet to confirm Johnson has actually been suspended, the athlete did state on July 31 that he was taking an "indefinite leave of absence" from the tour to seek professional help to address "personal challenges."

The pro golfer allegedly tested positive for cocaine earlier this year, and according to reports, he also tested positive for the drug in 2012 -- and marijuana in 2009. Seems like he's been spending more time at the clubs than with his clubs, which is a shame because this July he was still ranked 16th in the world by Golf.com. But perhaps he's found a way to make the most of his leave of absence?

Paulina, whose dad is hockey legend Wayne Gretzky, started dating Dustin in 2012, and the two got engaged last year. Wayne reportedly warned Dustin to get his life in order or he'd put a stop to the wedding, so we have to wonder about the timing of all this...

 

Jeremy Renner Confirms He Secretly Married Baby Mama Sonni Pacheco

He's taken, ladies!

Jeremy Renner confirmed he married the mother of his child Sonni Pacheco during an interview with Capitol File magazine, and he sounds like he's still basking in domestic bliss! The Hurt Locker star also explained why they kept the nuptials secret, noting that he didn't want his celebrity status to interfere with a quiet home life.

"I have tried to protect my family's privacy, my wife's privacy. I don't need her to get hammered with my life. Privacy issues are important because I want her to go about her day without being bothered," he said at a screening of his film Kill the Messenger on Tuesday.

Now that he's a dad to daughter Ava Berlin, the actor's priorities have shifted. "The only thing I think about when I'm not with my baby is, How do I get to my baby? I need to get to her, and I'm very miserable when I don't see her. I really love being a father," he gushed.

"The only thing that has changed is my perspective on things. I still work, probably even more. It used to be for myself so I'm not old and broke. All these things I still do, but I do it now for the future of my baby, and if it gets in the way of her well-being, then I stop," he added.

He's a proud husband and papa!

She may be making a million an episode -- but that doesn't mean Kaley Cuoco doesn't know how to get down and dirty when her car gets a flat tire.

On Tuesday, Kaley, who earns a whopping $1 million per episode for her hit show The Big Bang Theory, hit quite the snag in the road when the tire of her new 250,000 new Mercedes SLS got a nail. The can-do actress stopped at a local gas station to seek help for her flat. Of course the down-to-earth star got in there -- trying to see what went wrong with her pricey ride.

Outfitted in gray sweats, a star-patterned t-shirt and hiding her cropped 'do with a baseball, at least the 28-year-old millionaire got to be comfy for her unscheduled event.
