Selena Gomez Gets Emotional Talking About Her Kidney Transplant On Today

Posted on Mon Oct 30th, 2017 7:45am PDT       By X17 Staff


We didn't realize how grave her situation really was.

Selena Gomez opened up about her recent kidney transplant during a sit-down on the Today show, and her donor/bestie Francia Raisa revealed why she wanted to undergo the risky surgery to help her friend.

"My kidneys were just done. That was it, and I didn’t want to ask a single person in my life. The thought of asking someone to do that was really difficult for me. She volunteered and did it. And let alone someone wanting to volunteer, it is incredibly difficult to find a match. The fact that she was a match, I mean that’s unbelievable. That’s not real," the singer told host Savannah Guthrie.

Raisa admitted it was a no-brainer to get tested to see if she was a match, after months of watching Gomez struggle with her health.

"One day she came home and she was emotional. I hadn’t asked anything. I knew she hadn’t been feeling well. She couldn’t open a water bottle one day. She chucked it and she started crying. And I said, ‘What’s wrong?’ and that’s when she told me. And she goes, ‘I don’t know what to do. The list is seven to ten years long.' It just vomited out of me: I was like, ‘Of course I’ll get tested,'" she explained.

The surgery had its complications, as the chart topper's new organ twisted around inside her body shortly after transplantation.

"My teeth were like grinding, I was freaking out. It was a six hour surgery that they had to do on me, and the normal kidney process is actually two hours. Apparently one of the arteries had flipped. I’m very grateful that there are people who know what to do in that situation," Gomez detailed.

We're glad she's finally on the mend!

But there are some serious accusations here and we know a bunch of it (not about Andy) to be 100% true.

Watch ... listen ... she's crazy but not THAT crazy.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS - Kim And Kourtney Get Ice Cream On A Hot Day ... But Kim Doesn't Eat Any!

Posted on Sat Oct 28th, 2017 9:28am PDT       By X17 Staff


When it's 100 degrees in LA, what do the Kardashians do? Throw on a flannel plaid, knee-high leather boots and grab an E! camera and head to the ice cream store!

Kim and Kourtney hit up Sloan's in Woodland Hills for a cool treat ... except the hardly ate anything! What ended up happening is pal Jonathan Cheban satisfied his infamous dessert cravings with some crazy cakey ice cream bowl which Kourt was photographing non-stop and Kim and Kourtney got little plastic spoon tasters of a couple different fun flavors but they didn't eat anything!

Then, dietetically boring Kourtney went to GoGreek for some frozen yogurt because dairy-laden ice cream doesn't fit into her strict diet. And guess what -- her body looked insane in black leggings and a body-hugging black tank, so her program seems to be working! Meanwhile, Kim covered up her curves but don't worry ... her bod's still on point. Stay tuned for video of her dressed as Cher Friday night at the Casamigos Halloween party with Jonathan as Sonny. HOT!

 

Real Housewives Of Orange County Star Shannon Beador And Husband David Split After 17 Years Of Marriage

Posted on Fri Oct 27th, 2017 1:50pm PDT       By X17 Staff


Finally! She's so much better off without him!

Real Housewives of Orange County star Shannon Beador husband David are divorcing after 17 years of marriage, and they separated earlier this month.

"After much thought and careful consideration, David and I have made the difficult decision to separate. We remain partners in parenthood and are committed to raising our three daughters. This is not the future we envisioned, and we kindly ask for privacy, especially for our children, during this transitional time," Shannon said in a statement to Bravo.

The reality star announced the news to her RHOC costars while filming the season 12 reunion today.

The couple's rocky relationship has been a huge plot line on the hit show. They allowed cameras to follow them into therapy after it was revealed that David had cheated during season 10. The mother-of-three also gained 40 pounds due to stress eating after castmate Vicki Gunvalson alleged that David had been physically abusive.

“It’s heartbreaking for me and my daughters that this is the road that had to be taken but it’s the only way. I felt alone in my marriage. You can do what you can to keep your family together, but you have to have willing parties. You need two people to make a marriage work, and that just wasn’t happening in our relationship," she told People.

"As a mother, I want to be a good role model for my daughters. Three years ago I was proud of what I showed them, because I fought for keeping my family together after infidelity. As the last year went by, it’s been extremely difficult and painful to watch the show, because clearly I was in denial about what was going on in my marriage. I was taking things out on other people instead of at home. … As a mother you keep thinking about your daughters and you have to say, ‘This is an unhealthy environment.’ Not only is it unhealthy for me, but it’s unhealthy for my girls, too. They deserve a happy and joyful home, and I am providing that for them now," she added.

They share daughters Sophie, 15, and twins Stella and Adeline, 12.

Our heart breaks for her. To go through this on TV has got to be the worst.

Shannen Doherty Looks Fantastic After Beating Breast Cancer

Posted on Fri Oct 27th, 2017 12:00pm PDT       By X17 Staff


This makes us so happy for her!

We caught Shannen Doherty fueling up her ride at the gas station yesterday in Malibu, and the actress was the picture of health and happiness, after a mighty rough year battling breast cancer. The 90210 star has finished her chemo treatments and is in remission, and she's been a total role model and beacon of light to many others fighting the disease.

Just because she's bouncing back doesn't mean her health scare is ever far from her mind.

"Cancer has so many phases. Shock, denial, acceptance, anger, resentment, rebellion, fear, appreciation, beauty. Remission. Even then, the phases keep coming. Cancer is with you forever. Those who have experienced it know that even after you’ve kicked its ass, it still impacts you, in good ways and bad. You still go thru the roller coaster of emotions. You still need support and love. And you can still grasp life and live, live live. #cancer #cancerslayer," she recently wrote on Instagram.

She is the definition of courage in the face of fear, and she has no idea how many people she inspires.
