Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Prime Time, Reality, News, Video,
Jennifer Lyon, a contestant on the 10th season of Survivor, passed away Tuesday after a long battle with breast cancer. She was only 37.
Although Survivor: Palau‘s fourth place-finisher noticed a lump in her breast prior to filming in 2004, Lyon and a doctor both wrote it off as possible scar tissue from her breast implants. It wasn’t until after the show’s finale in May 2005, that she went in for further diagnosis. It was then she discovered that the disease was already in Stage 3.

-Miley Cyrus had a date with the Queen Monday in London. After her Royal Variety Awards performance, the 16-year-old took off the hotpants and wore a cleavage-baring dress for a meeting with Her Majesty. (Hopefully the gown concealed her new tattoo.)
-Hulk Hogan’s nasty divorce won’t keep him from walking down the aisle again. The 56-year-old wrestler (a.k.a. Terry Bollea) is now planning to marry Jennifer McDaniel. Hulk and ex Linda settled their divorce earlier this summer; they were married in 1983.
-The Accidental Husband‘s Uma Thurman is not going to be a bride after all. Her engagement to Arpad Busson was reportedly called off about two months ago. The two began dating back in 2007.
-Bryant Gumbel recently had a malignant tumor and part of his lung removed. Gumbel revealed the cancer news to Kelly Ripa while filling in for Regis Philbin this morning. (Philbin took time off to have hip surgery.)

How 90210 Deals with Death - And More Spoilers
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Drama, Prime Time, The CW, Spoilers, Video,
The decision to eliminate Jackie, Kelly Taylor and Erin Silver’s mother, is one that resounds strongly with many fans of the original Beverly Hills, 90210. In recent 90210 episodes, Jackie revealed she’s suffering from inoperable cancer. The character seems to be on a collision course with death, not the first to be featured on the current season of the show.
And that’s not even the only thing happening in the Hills. Naomi is being played by her own sister, conned and re-conned out of money, boyfriend, even self-respect. Adrianna has climbed back on the wagon, again abusing drugs. And Annie has committed vehicular homicide (unbeknownst to anyone but her) and hooked up with Ade’s drug dealer - who seems to be a few cards short of a full deck, if you take my meaning.
