Katie Thurston Undergoes Double Mastectomy Amid Stage 4 Cancer Battle

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In February of last year, Katie Thurston revealed that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Shortly thereafter, Thurston revealed that her cancer had reached Stage 4 and spread to multiple other organs, including her liver.

Now, she’s sharing a heartbreaking update on her treatment — and she’s doing so with honesty, strength, and a clear message about what she’s facing.

The former reality star has undergone a double mastectomy, a development she confirmed in a deeply personal update.

Thurston explained that the surgery was a necessary step as part of her treatment, opening up about both the physical and emotional weight of the decision.

“Today is surgery day! Thank you all for your support leading up to this. Your prayers, love, and positive energy have been the embrace I’ve needed over the last year,” she wrote on Instagram this week (via People).

“I still can’t believe I’m at this moment. Surgery is 3 hours. I look forward to waking up on the other side of this!”

Despite the gravity of the situation, Thurston has continued to document her journey and connect with followers, offering a candid look at what she’s going through in real time.

“My cancer candle burns brightly but I crumble on the floor hyperventilating and sobbing. The same way I did when I first got the call it was cancer. Sometimes I’m fine and sometimes I’m just like…damn… I can’t wait to be done with the surgery,” she wrote this week.

“I don’t like these little reminders. But at stage 4, they will always whisper in the background, some days louder with their grasp squeezing my neck,” she continued, adding:

“I pick myself up, and the pieces of my broken heart, and keep pushing on. I am losing pieces of my body and my spirit. Thankful for my friends, my family, my community, my Jeff. My [dog] Charlie. You. Thank you for being here during the hardest chapter of my life.”

The former Bachelorette noted that the procedure marks a major turning point in her cancer journey — one that comes with both uncertainty and resolve as she navigates what lies ahead.

“This beautiful badass just went in for surgery for her double mastectomy,” Katie’s husband, Jeff Arcuri wrote on his Instagram Stories. “She is in amazing hands and spirits are HIGH. I’ll be updating everyone as soon as I can!”

Arcuri later wrote that the surgery went “great.”

Throughout her updates, Katie has made it clear that her focus remains on doing everything possible to extend her life and maintain hope, even in the face of a worrisome diagnosis.

For now, she is recovering from surgery and continuing treatment, taking things one step at a time as she confronts a diagnosis that has already reshaped her life in profound ways.

Olivia Wilde Worries Fans With ‘Gaunt’ Appearance: Is She Okay?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Fans and detractors alike seem to be asking the same question:

Is Olivia Wilde okay?

A recent video — alongside other recent glimpses at the actress — has people mixing body-shaming, concern trolling, and old-fashioned worry.

Other fans are rushing to her defense, saying that she’s doing just fine.

Is she okay?

In late April, Wilde stopped to chat with SFGate for quick red carpet interview.

The 42-year-old actor and director was there for the San Fransisco International Film Festival.

Specifically, she was promoting The Invite, her newest film.

Unfortunately, much of the focus on social media had nothing to do with her creative works.

Instead, the attention fell upon her appearance.

To say that she looked “slimmer than usual” would arguably be to miss the point of much of the discussion.

Wilde has always been a strikingly beautiful actress.

While that is still the case, her facial features appear to be both exaggerated and, some argue, sunken.

Her famously prominent cheekbones stand out even more than usual, which is saying a lot.

Is she sick? Is this the result of some sort of ill-advised cosmetic change? Or are people being concern-trolls just to give a famous woman a hard time?

Fans don’t agree on what’s going on

When a flurry of commenters across social media criticized or expressed worry about Wilde’s appearance, some took that as an insult.

A number of fans have expressed the belief that lighting, angles, and unflattering lighting were at play.

(That actually seems likely.)

Others have pointed out that Wilde’s other recent appearances — including photos that she herself has shared to social media — display similar features.

(We cannot dispute that, either.)

Ultimately, we do not know if this is natural aging, illness, or something else.

We do know that online discourse is almost never careful.

Yes, every now and then, a celebrity will admit that social media feedback got them to see a dermatologist about an urgent issue, or helped them to kick a bad habit.

The vast majority of the time, it looks and sounds like body-shaming — no matter the intention. The comments do not help, and could even cause someone to double down.

As a society, we need to feel less entitled to “worry” about someone’s looks. If Wilde is getting this kind of chatter, what chances to the rest of us have?

Taylor Swift Pregnant, Hiding Baby Bump: The Rumor & The Truth

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Fan speculation that Taylor Swift is pregnant has been spiking.

Over the summer of 2025 — long before the release of The Life of a Showgirl — Taylor kept a lower profile than usual. That’s in stark contrast from recent public appearances.

There can be a few reasons for that, but it’s a tried-and-true method of hiding a baby bump. We’ve seen it before.

Is Taylor pregnant? Is she hiding relationship troubles? Or is this something else? Here’s what we know:

Where in the world is Taylor Swift?

Back in July, a super rare video of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hit the internet. Fans spotted the two in Park City, Utah.

Just days later, the two again went on a low-key outing. This time, a dinner date in New York.

In late March, reports had Taylor and Travis dining with Erin Andrews in Big Sky, Montana.

Notably, she apparently encouraged the two to date in the first place.

Sometimes, when a couple who was once virtually omnipresent starts acting private, it’s a red flag.

When a romance is on the rocks, people try to avoid public fights.

Especially when they are in the spotlight. Taylor and Travis are one of the planet’s most famous couples, and she’s someone who likes to plan ahead.

On the flip side, sometimes there’s a very different reason to hide.

When you want to hide your baby bump, you’d hide your whole body. And some fans wonder if Taylor is doing just that.

The most recent example, of course, was Taylor being protected by a barrier during recent Kansas City Chiefs games.

Apparently, this famous couple just wants some peace and quiet

According to a report by Life & Style, an inside source assures that Taylor and Travis “are still very much in love.”

The insider characterized: “They’re simply recharging their batteries.”

Just as many introverts might need some alone time after a busy social event, some famous couples need to back down from whirlwind public appearances to nurture their relationship.

“Taylor’s been in rest-and-relaxation mode since she wrapped her Eras Tour in December,” the source shared.

According to the insider, “the plan has always been to enjoy the off-season with Travis by packing in a lot of travel.”

In a move that surprised many the Grammy Awards earlier this month.

That’s usually a can’t-miss event for Taylor, for obvious reasons, even when she’s not nominated.

Notably, Taylor skipped the VMAs in September.

But is she hiding a baby bump amidst all of this R&R?

The source went on to say that, after a challenging NFL season “and all the pressure that went with it,” Taylor and Travis needed a long break.

“He desperately needed a break,” the insider dished. “So Taylor surprised him with a super private trip.”

The source elaborated: “They’ve been hitting the slopes in Park City and Big Sky, where they blended right in. It helps that they can cover up their faces when they’re skiing, since most people are wearing helmets, goggles or face coverings. They love the anonymity.”

Simply put, there is absolutely no proof of a Taylor pregnancy.

There have been no baby bump sightings.

Taylor is a conspicuously tall (relatively) and slender woman. Pregnancy would not hide for long.

If some sort of exciting news leaks, we’ll be thrilled to share it.

But for now, it sounds like Taylor and Travis are just trying to take it easy.

Josh Duggar Begs Wife For ‘Sexy’ Pics In Bizarre Prison Email

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Josh Duggar has been behind bars since 2021, and he’s not scheduled for release until 2032.

Josh’s release date keeps getting pushed back due to his bad behavior behind bars, and cousin Amy Duggar claims that he’s currently being held in solitary confinement.

That’s the good news. The bad news is that Josh is still allowed to make contact with the outside world.

And a newly revealed prison email from Josh to wife Anna Duggar tells us more about their marriage than we ever wanted to know.

“Okay so wow! WOWOWOW! I just got your 4 photo collage,” he wrote Anna in June 2022 (via Radar Online), adding:

“THE PICS ARE SUPER HOT AND YOU LOOK STUNNINGLY GORGEOUS. YOU ARE SOOOO CUTE! THANK YOU FOR SENDING! YOU ARE SOOOO PRECIOUS!”

“It’s so much fun to get those — wow you are sexy!” Josh ranted on.

“Thank you for sharing with me, it means a lot to hear your heart! Thank you for the super sexy photos too cutie! xoxo.”

Already in custody, Josh Duggar continued to exude a smug presence when posing for mugshots. (Photo Credit: Washington County Detention Center)

You get the idea. It seems that Anna also offered some updates on her life in her latest email, but Josh was primarily fixated on her pics.

He also implored her to figure out how to continue sending pics once he arrives at his new home with “the feds,” aka Seagoville Federal Correctional Facility in Texas.

In other newly revealed emails, Josh lashed out at his parents and accused them of hypocrisy.

“You continue to talk about how you forgive others and try not to be bitter, yet you constantly are putting me down,” Josh wrote.

A post shared by Elle Bee (@ellebee_official)

“Not just this situation, I’m talking years of it. Do you think it’s helping me? Does it help you? Does it help the ‘spirit’ of our family?

“When I try to bring this up, or ANY criticism of Pops and Mom, they immediately point to my bad choices in life and then defend themselves. REALLY? You accuse Anna of doing this most of the time and you call her the ‘most bitter person you know’ etc.”

On Reddit, many commenters noted that Anna, who is now raising seven kids on her own, has every right to be bitter.

These days, Josh is desperately appealing his sentence every chance he gets. But it still seems unlikely that he’ll be released this decade.

So maybe the 2020s aren’t such a hellscape after all!

Michael Douglas Divorced: His History of Marriage with Catherine Zeta-Jones Explained

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Michael Douglas has the history of marriage and divorce that you might expect from an A-list actor with a lengthy career.

Whether fans know him for his classic work decades ago or for his role as the cantankerous Hank Pym in the MCU, Michael Douglas is a Hollywood legend.

But the topic of his marital status has come into question more than once — and with good reason.

Hollywood marriages are complex subjects. But here’s his history, and where things stand today.

Who was Michael Douglas’ first marriage and divorce?

As we mentioned, Michael Douglas has been a prominent actor since before many of his fans were alive. As such, his relationship history goes back nearly as far.

In 1971, Michael Douglas began dating fellow actor Brenda Vaccaro, following the filming of Summertree.

That romance would go on to span six years of their lives.

However, he moved on, and his next serious relationship took on a more formal label.

On March of 1977, then-32-year-old Douglas married the daughter of an Austrian diplomat. Diandra Luker was 19 at the time.

During their relationship, they welcomed one child. Their son, Cameron, was born in 1978.

In 1995, after nearly 20 years together, Diandra filed to divorce Michael Douglas.

The settlement included a payout to her to the tune of $45 million.

Michael Douglas’ most famous relationship is with Catherine Zeta-Jones

In March of 1999, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones began dating.

They were both already immensely famous stars — and quickly made it clear that they were serious about each other.

On November 18 of 2000, Douglas and Zeta-Jones married.

They have welcomed two children. The pair had son Dylan Michael on August 8, 2000 and daughter Carys Zeta on April 20, 20003.

Despite their famous romance and two shared children, there have been bumps along the way.

Late in the summer of 2013, People reported that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were living separately.

In fact, the report alleges that the two had begun this informal separation — without filing for anything — in May of that year.

However, reports maintained that they were taking a break to make the marriage work.

By November, they had reportedly reconciled and were once again living together. By 2015, Douglas was characterizing their marriage to as “stronger than ever” while speaking to Ellen DeGeneres.

Did Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones divorce?

In October of 2023, RadarOnline claimed that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were effectively divorced in all but name. Memorably, Zeta-Jones has expressed disgust over divorce and has no desire to do it.

“The marriage is over, but they don’t want to do the whole divorce and separation thing,” the insider alleged.

“So, they have this arrangement that’s working for them because nobody knows about it. They are definitely living separate lives.”

If Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are really divorced in all but name, they’re doing a great job of hiding it.

As of early 2025, there was still no official buzz about any marital rift in the longtime Hollywood couple.

Catherine Sends a Birthday Message to the World

Interestingly, Michael and Catherine share a birthday.

And last year, Catherine marked the occasion by posting a nude photo on Instagram.

Many took it as her way of confirming that her marriage to Michael is still happy and healthy.

Whatever her intent, it reminded millions that Michael is a very lucky man!

Patrick Muldoon Cause of Death Revealed: ‘Days of Our Lives’ Star Was 57

Reading Time: 2 minutes

UPDATE: Medical examiners have now confirmed that Muldoon died of a myocardial infarction, more commonly referred to as a heart attack.

Read on for initial coverage of his unexpected death:

We have tragic news to report from the world of television.

Patrick Muldoon — the beloved star who was best known for his work on Days of Our Lives — has passed away.

News of his death comes courtesy of a statement from his sister, Shana Muldoon-Zappa.

According to Shana, Muldoon took a shower after drinking coffee with his girlfriend at their Beverly Hills home on Sunday morning.

After noticing that he’d been in longer than usual, the girlfriend went to check on Patrick and found him unconscious on the floor.

She called 911, but paramedics announced Muldoon dead at the scene.

Friends described Muldoon as “endlessly generous — with his poetry, his humor, and his unmistakable presence,” according to Page Six.

Though he racked up dozens of credits over the course of his career, Muldoon is likely best known for his work as Austin Reed on “Days of Our Lives” from 1992 to 1995, and then again from 2011 to 2012.

Muldoon also had recurring roles on the iconic 1990s sitcoms Who’s the Boss? and Saved By the Bell, where he played Jeff, the Max manager who briefly came between Zack Morris and Kelly Kapowski.

On the bid screen, Mudoon had roles in films like Deadlock (2021), Vanquish (2021), Dakota (2022), Marlowe (2022), and Murder At Hollow Creek (2023).

He also appeared in the movie Dirty Hands, which will be released later this year.

Muldoon was also an executive producer on a movie that’s currently in production, Kockroach, which will star Chris Hemsworth, Taron Egerton, and Zazie Beetz.

The film is set for release in 2027.

Our thoughts are with Patrick Muldoon’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Did Stefon Diggs Call Cardi B a ‘W–re’ and a ‘Wrong …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Obviously, breaking up with Cardi B would hit hard for anyone.

But just how bitter is Stefon Diggs about his ex?

An alleged screenshot showed him posting extremely unkind words about the rapper.

Is it real? What does Diggs have to say for himself?

‘The wrong decision I made’

32-year-old Diggs appeared to have a lot to say about his ex.

“Appeared to” is a key part of that sentence, as we’ll explain.

Entertainment SA, a South African entertainment news brand, shared an image on their Instagram page.

The apparent screenshot featured something resembling a Story post from Diggs.

“The wrong decision I made recently…” the post began. “Falling in love with a wh–e with 3 kids.”

This apparent Instagram Story post was attributed to Stefon Diggs, but no one seems to have seen it on his actual page. (Image Credit: Instagram)

The post continued, claiming that this “Brought bad luck to life, business, endorsements, & partners.”

In conclusion, the post attributed to Diggs alleged that this had: “Stained my status.”

Given Cardi B’s level of fame, it seems more likely that their entanglement raised people’s awareness of who he is.

(Diggs is a football player. He played for a team called the New England Patriots until very recently, as the team released him during what’s called the “offseason,” which will end this summer.)

However, it is conceivable for a famous (in the sports world) athlete to believe that dating a famous woman didn’t do him any favors. But did Diggs really say any of that?

This comment by Stefon Diggs refutes the alleged Instagram Story screenshot. (Image Credit: Instagram)

‘Stop lying’

“I would never say no goofy ass s–t like this,” Diggs commented under the page’s post.

“Nor would I speak on the mother of my kid like that,” he added.

Diggs then advised the page to “stop lying to the internet for clicks [before] your page disappear.”

It seems that, for a time, his comment was pinned by the page.

That is no longer the case. Some commenters accuse the page of burying his comment in an effort to conceal the truth.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by ESA | EntertainmentSA (@entertainmentsa)

Cardi has three children with her (previous) ex, Offset. Those are 7-year-old Kulture, 4-year-old Wave, and 1-year-old Blossom.

Her fourth child is by Diggs. They welcomed this child in November of 2025.

There are no indications that Diggs posted that Instagram Story post at any time.

That doesn’t mean that the page was knowingly spreading falsehoods. Anyone could have conceivably whipped up a fake screenshot and sent it in as a “tip.”

It’s sad that there is such rampant misogyny in the world that there are real men who might write something like that. But Diggs did not, and that’s important.
