“Dancing With the Stars” judge Len Goodman has been diagnosed with cancer. In fact, he was diagnosed back in March but refused to let the news spread until the hit show finished filming, the Daily Mail reports. Goodman is not only the judge of “Dancing With the Stars”, but also of the British version of the show, “Strictly Come Dancing“.
Goodman, 65, had surgery to remove the tumor in his prostate gland nearly a month ago, but kept the information from his fellow colleagues.
Recently, Goodman told the media, “I have had the surgery now. Everything is gorgeously good. I will be back in September for sure.” The reason for being so reassured? Apparently, he claims his quick recovery is due to the early finding of the cancerous tumor during his annual check-up. He also mentions that now that he has had his surgery, he feels, “right as rain”.

On his way back home from an infomercial shoot for OxiClean in Philadelphia, Billy Mays was caught in a near-death accident. Upon landing, the wheels of the U.S. Air plane blew out, leaving it stranded on the runway.
Luckily, he returned safely to his family with nothing but a mild headache from being hit in the head with something in an overhead chamber. The next morning, however, Mays was found dead next to his wife in bed. It is still uncertain what happened exactly, hopefully we will find out after the autopsy.
Billy was famous for his exuberant and enthusiastic infomercials for different products such as OxiClean, Orange Glo, and Mighty Putty. He presented each and every one with surprising comparisons and samples to whoever was watching. He wasn’t one of those cheap selfish infomercial sellers who cheats people with fake products. He was someone who tested his products beforehand and made sure they worked so the customer would be satisfied.

Josh Duhamel was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night and since his wife is Fergie, the conversation turned towards Sunday’s incident involving Perez Hilton and the Black Eyed Peas.
On the situation in general: “I try not to get into it especially now because I don’t think he deserves that much. He’s got more press than he deserves from this whole thing.”
On Perez Hilton: “He goes a little below the belt, and when you poke somebody in the chest enough and when you call them enough names, I think it’s good to get your nose bloody.”
On who he wishes threw the punch: “I kind of wish it was me.”

After getting over a nasty bout of flu, the quirky singer turned to Twitter to talk food. She tweets, “Why is it that after not eating for three days all i can think of is food… food is smiling at me… luring me with sexual seduction.

World-reknown music star Michael Jackson, 50, was found dead today at his Holmby Hills estate. When the paramedics had arrived, there was no pulse. Furthur examination showed that he suffered a cardiac arrest and was in a deep coma.
Jackson had been rushed to an L.A. hospital by the fire department paramedics when they found that he was not breathing. They performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation, or CPR, at his home before rushing him to the UCLA Medical Center hospital, but could not find a pulse.
The “Thriller” singer had been rehearsing for the past two months. He was scheduled to start a comeback tour in London, England next month. The tour would’ve ended in March of 2010.
Michael is survived by his three children, Prince Michael Jackson II, Michael Joseph Jackson Jr., and Paris Michael Katherine Jackson.
Farrah Fawcett’s tragic battle with cancer ended today as she passed away at 9:28 this morning in a Santa Monica hospital. The Charlie’s Angels star was diagnosed a couple years ago with cancer but it didn’t go rogue until a couple months ago, when it erupted in her liver.
No one enjoys news like this, so I think we should celebrate her life instead of grieving over her death.
Farrah Fawcett‘s beautiful smile and gorgeous blonde curls made her into an idol of the wondrous 70’s. In 1976, she joined “Charlie’s Angels“. The moment the public took one look at the shining Farrah, her popularity quickly threw her to the top of the fame ladder. She dropped her role on the series and signed onto a movie role, which ended up being a flop. She quickly regained her composure. She lived her life happily and fully.
Ryan O’Neal, who was in the room with Farrah at the time of death, released this statement, “After a long and brave battle with cancer, our beloved Farrah has passed away. Although this is an extremely difficult time for her family and friends, we take comfort in the beautiful times that we shared with Farrah over the years and the knowledge that her life brought joy to so many people around the world.”
A TV documentary has been made about her nearly three year battle with cancer, called, “Farrah’s Story“. We are not sure when it is to be released.
She was known for her beautiful hair and bright smile. She was loved by the world, and now, even when she is no longer here, she is a legend. We will remember Farrah. Always and forever.
It’s true! Adam Lambert has just filmed a cameo for “Glee”, set to air this fall!
“Glee” is a comedic musical with the tagline, “A biting comedy for the underdog in all of us.”
Some trivia about the show? According to IMDB, cast members Matthew Morrison, Lea Michele, and Jenna Ushkowitz are all Broadway alums.
Matthew Morrison was Fabrizio in ‘Light in the Piazza’, as well as the original Link in ‘Hairspray’. Michele was the original Wendla in ‘Spring Awakening’. Ushkowitz also appeared in ‘Spring Awakening’ with Michele.
I wonder what surprises there will be when they include Adam Lambert! Stay Tuned!
The ten-year-old Emma Watson that accepted the role of Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series has now become a beautiful fashionista, covering various magazine covers, one of those being Teen Vogue. This shoot will be her third Teen Vogue shoot.
Watson, who just turned 19 on April 15, has been world-famous for nearly half of her life. She mentions how for her 18th birthday party, “I literally couldn’t get out the door at the end of the night. The worst thing was that they laid down on the pavement and took pictures up my skirt. Now I’m going to wear cycling shorts whenever I get out of cars.” Sounds like a good idea.
Teen Vogue writer Lauren Waterman describes the shoot, “even when dressed in impossibly high heels, wild patterned leggings, and a poufy mini, with her hair piled precariously atop her head and fastened with brightly colored netting, Emma’s poised enough to prevent the clothes from wearing her.”
Watson does, however, say some things about the upcoming Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, “At the beginning, it looks like they’re on their way to finally being together, but of course Ron screws it up. So she’s jealous, and doesn’t quite realize it, and they have all these arguments.”

Audrina Patridge shot a new commercial for Carl’s Jr. (that’s Hardee’s for the East Costers) Teriyaki Burger on a Malibu beach in April.
“I had an absolute blast shooting. It was my first experience shooting a spot with food, and when I pulled up, I was literally salivating looking at all the rows and rows of perfect burgers waiting for me!” the reality TV starlet told People magazine.
“I was cracking up because I would take a bite, and almost immediately a food handler with white gloves would have a brand new burger ready.”
Patridge, 24, says the gold bikini was reversible, in case there were any ketchup or teriyaki mishaps.
The commercial will make its television debut on June 24, the same day the Teriyaki Burger will be available.

The first look at Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland has been released to the public. This star-studded adventure has been awaited for quite some time.
The adventure ensues with Alice(Mia Wasikowska), The Mad Hatter(Johnny Depp), The White Queen(Anne Hathaway), The Red Queen(Helena Bonham Carter), The White Rabbit(Michael Sheen), The Caterpiller(Alan Rickman), The Jabberwock(Christopher Lee), The Cheshire Cat(Stephen Fry) and other crazy, colorful characters.(Try saying that five times fast!)
Alan Rickman is one of the only stars that I can’t seem to find any picture of in costume. The reason? He didn’t have a costume! Rickman’s face is pasted onto a completely animated caterpillar.
Rickman explains,”So, it’s a mixture. The movie is a mixture of live action, animation, and stop motion, so it’s very complicated and I don’t think all three have been put together ever before. So I’ll be with a live action Alice. I will be a construct.”
