What wonderful news! So You Think You Can Dance judge Mary Murphy is now cancer free!
The 52-year-old was given a squeaky clean bill of health by her doctors after undergoing surgery in December to have a tumor in her thyroid removed.
“I’m very grateful because I’m so upset at myself that I didn’t go in earlier,” She said in a statement. “They told me that the tumor had to come out and there’s a chance I might not be able to talk again. Outside of the word ‘cancer,’ I really couldn’t imagine my life without hearing myself laugh.”
But now that it’s all over, she couldn’t be happier.
“I just want to kiss my doctor.” I definitely feel like there’s an angel on my shoulder. I feel like somebody’s looking out for me.”
Now that she’s cancer free, the SYTYCD judge will return to the show later this summer when season eight returns….along with Murhpy’s shrieking.
Castle star Nathan Fillion stopped by The Late Show with David Letterman on Thursday.
Being a huge fan of Castle and the comedic cutie, I of course tuned in. He opened up to Dave about how he came into being in show business just 4 months short of becoming a High School teacher and the time he was confused for funnyman Jason Bateman.
Castle is on every Monday night at 9pm on ABC. If you’re not already tuning in, you should, it’s a fantastic comedy-drama series that will have you hooked.
Bachelor contestant Michelle Money (her last name is Money!) had an affair with NBA star Carlos Boozer — while he was married, according to a new report by Life & Style. Opening up about the scandal for the first time, Michelle tells Life & Style, “Yes, I was in a relationship with Carlos while he was still married. What I did was wrong.”
Michelle, actress (ya don’t say!) and single mother to 5-year-old daughter Brielle, has quickly established herself as one of the most controversial contestants on the new season of The Bachelor. In her quest to win Brad Womack’s heart, her aggressive antics — like storming off the set and forcibly dragging Brad away from other women — have angered and upset many of her fellow housemates. But off-camera, her personal life is even more shocking.
When Michelle first met Carlos, she was a recent divorcee living in Salt Lake City, and he was a star forward on the Utah Jazz. Michelle implies that Carlos led her to believe he had separated — though he didn’t file for divorce until March 2009, while he and Michelle were involved. Michelle tells Life & Style she regrets any part she played in Carlos’ split from wife Cece.
“I should never have been so naive to assume what I was told was true,” Michelle tells Life & Style. “I’m not trying to shy away from the fact that he was still married. I don’t put that on Carlos. I don’t put that on anyone but myself. I feel terrible for Cece for that pain she’s had to go through and that I am a part of it.” Despite Carlos’ split with his wife, he and Michelle ended things in June 2009. “All I can do,” Michelle says, “is try to do better with my life. I screwed up. But I can only try to do the best I can.”
I don’t buy it that she believed he was separated. I know it does happen – women falsely led to believe their man is single – but I call BS on this one. Just from what we know about her on ‘The Bachelor’ leads me to believe she’s a famewhore. She’s part of the reason I hate the Bachelor. Every season there’s one contestant that the Bachelor or Bachelorette keeps around – and the whole world hates them. What does Brad see in her? She’s psychotic! Buuuut…she makes good TV. (And of course I tune in every week!)
The Bachelorreturned last night – and America’s “Most Hated Bachelor” returned with 30 women vying for his affection. First, I have to say that I don’t understand why he’s the most hated man in Bachelor’s history. It makes me crazy that everyone hates him for doing the right thing! He didn’t love either girls – so why choose them! Wasn’t he ultimately doing both girls a favor by breaking up with them early on – rather than lead them on for months? Drives me nuts.
Second – how awkward was last night’s 2-hour episode! The arrivals were painful to watch – Brad was awkward and weird. The girls are for the most part completely crazy. When several of the girls claimed they would love him – and want to marry him – even before they knew who the Bachelor was…was just plain creepy. The brief meeting between Brad and the girls exiting the limo makes me embarrassed for them all. How weird to have that first impression caught on tape – for millions to watch.
So does Brad find true love this time around? According to Pop Eater, ABC made Brad guarantee a proposal in the end!
“Everyone knows reality TV isn’t very real, however, promising that you will find a wife before you even meet the contestants is a new low,” a TV executive tells me. “It makes total sense to bring Brad back for a second chance and it will totally result in huge ratings. I just hope the woman are in on this deal as well.”
Brad insisted throughout the first episode and the press interviews leading up to last night’s debut that he was “a changed man.”
After three years of therapy and self-reflection, he discovered he was a commitment-phobe that tended to push people away before they could hurt him. However, friends of the bachelor tell me Brad’s problem isn’t a fear of intimacy but rather his love of fame.
“Brad was dying to get back on TV,” a friend of the Texas native tells me. “He hasn’t done anything since he was the ‘Bachelor’ and missed the cameras and the attention every single day. Now, he can pretend for America that he is falling in love all over again and in the process make a ton of cash.”
The girls this season are – call me crazy – 99% crazy! There are a couple girls that seem cute (single mom Emily, who lost her fiance in the plane crash) but for the most part – I just kept thinking – where does ABC find these girls? A girl with fangs? Seriously? When Brad kept her last night – that just goes to show that this is pure entertainment. Brad can’t possibly really be looking for love. Fame is more like it.
This season looks to be even more staged and fake than ever. Of course that won’t keep me from watching it, but I’m just saying it looks like it’s going to be a bit painful to tune in every week.
It’s Bachelor season!! I’ll try to pretend like I’m not totally excited, and counting down the hours. (That would
‘The Bachelor’ returns on ABC tonight (it’s 15th season!), and Brad Womack is back for a second round at finding “true love”.
When Brad arrives at the mansion tonight – there will be 30 women waiting to fall desperately in love with the blonde hunk. Womack will be the first Bachelor to have 30 women at his beck and call. Jake Pavelka had 20 women, and when Ali Fedotowsky was the Bachelorette, she had 25 men.
So why the extra women? To fill more time!
“We’ve added episodes and gone to two hours of late. It helps us fill some voids and make it more compelling,” host Chris Harrison tells TV Guide.
One woman vying for a rose has fangs — and freaks out Womack, according to Harrison.
“Everyone … is going to be like, ‘She has fangs! Of course you’re going to let her go!’” he says.
But Womack isn’t quick to send her home. Of the teeth, he says, “She was very attached to them, both literally and figuratively.”
He famously rejected both DeAnna Pappas and Jenni Croft last time around, but the outcome will be different this time.
“I did find somebody, I did fall in love … a true love story happened,” Womack says.
Not everything this season will be switched up. Womack will frequently strip down to show off his body on camera.
“The rule with Brad is he could not have his shirt on more than 30 percent of the time,” Harrison jokes. “It’s an incredibly sexy season.”
He fell in love? Does anyone even believe this anymore? I’ve watched every single Bachelor/Bachelorette season – and even I am no longer surprised when they split. They seem cursed from the get-go! I was surprised to hear that Brad was doing the show again – considering what he went through last time.
Over two years after his tragic death, Michelle Williams is finally opening up about losing ex-fiancee Heath Ledger.
The ‘Blue Valentine’ star appeared in an interview on Nightline Tuesday night to promote her film, but also talked about how she reacted immediately after the death, and in the years following. Turns out, in some ways, it was easier then.
“In a strange way, I miss that year, because all those possibilities that existed then are gone,” she said. “It didn’t seem unlikely to me that he could walk through a door or could appear behind a bush. It was a year of very magical thinking, and in some ways I’m sad to be moving further and further away from it.”
Williams met Ledger on the set of their film, ‘Brokeback Mountain,’ and had a daughter together. Now, in ‘Blue Valentine,’ she plays a woman suffering from heartbreak again, this time with Ryan Gosling. The film will be released on December 29th.
