Giuliana Rancic to Undergo Double Mastectomy
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television,
Giuliana Rancic is to undergo a double mastectomy. The E! News presenter - who revealed she was suffering from the early stages of breast cancer in October - has decided to opt for the procedure after a double lumpectomy failed to fully remove cancerous growths in both breasts and her lymph nodes.
"To be honest, all it came down to was choosing to live and not looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life. It could have come back more aggressively next time, so for me it was just more important to get the cancer out. With the double mastectomy I now have less than one per cent chance of getting it back, otherwise it was 20, 30 or 40 per cent chance and for me it wasn't worth it," she explained on The Today Show.
The 36-year-old star - who made a pros and cons list to decide whether to undergo the procedure - also praised her entrepreneur husband Bill, admitting her cancer battle has made the couple stronger: "Bill said to me, 'I just need you around for the next 50 years, kid. I don't care about the physical portion of this, so let's just get you healthy.' Bill's been the world to me through this, he brought some laughter to the process and reminded me who we are as a couple. It's made us stronger. I couldn't be more at peace with the decision. I still break down some nights when it's quiet in bed, it's easy to just start crying and be very sad, but I'm OK."

Sharks Don’t Like Ryan Seacrest, Either
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Red Carpet, Editorials, Features,
Even though I’m quite guilty of refreshing the E! Online site every five minutes or so, I felt utterly compelled to share a story that they actually consider noteworthy.
The short article centers about none other than their very own, multi-talented, workaholic Ryan Seacrest. Earlier today on his Los Angeles KIIS FM talk show, the American Idol host recalled his recent weekend “shark scare” with listeners: “I was bitten by a shark. It swam up to me, and it took a bite, and then he left.”
As if this couldn’t get even more exciting, Ryan revealed that the “predator” was about the size of a cat and that the incident occurred a whopping four feet from the shore.
Unsure of whether the writer’s sarcasm was lost to me on their site or not, Peter Gicas ends the news flash with a near-mocking “Proof positive that nothing—even a fanged fish—can keep our man down.” Thanks a lot for nothing, Mr. Jaws.

Bai Ling Manages to Look Normal

You can’t exactly blame the poor girl. Valentine’s Day does tend to do crazy things to people.
Just this Wednesday, actress Bai Ling (Red Corner) was arrested at LAX after trying to pilfer a some magazines and batteries at an airport store. What would have cost the Entourage star only $16 earned her a trip to the local police station.
Ling, 37, now explains that her surprising behavior was related to man issues. She told E! News she had just broken up with her boyfriend shortly before she was scheduled to board her flight. Apparently she was in an emotional state when she lifted the goods. I guess the prospect of being alone on a romantic holiday can make anyone do irrational things.
Sadly, what I find more interesting than the misdemeanor offense is the photographic results. While some people may criticize her sad appearance, I actually found the mug shot to be quite refreshing. It was the first time she actually didn’t scare me. To see why I say this, check out some of her choice get-ups after the jump:
