                <title>Michael Douglas Has Stage 4 Throat Cancer: What&#8217;s His Prognosis?</title>
                <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/SGY-015705.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-78023" title="Michael Douglas" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/SGY-015705.jpg" alt="SGY 015705 200x300 Michael Douglas Has Stage 4 Throat Cancer: What Is His Prognosis?" width="250" /></a>Everyone was shocked and devastated to find out that celeb dad Michael Douglas is suffering from Stage 4 Throat Cancer and is in a battle for his life.</p><p>Douglas is optimistic about beating the disease, but we can&#8217;t help but wonder just how bad Stage 4 Throat Cancer really is.</p><p>Typically, when cancer reaches stage 4, it means that the disease is usually impossible to cure because it has spread beyond the original tumour. Douglas, however, reports that he has an 80 percent chance of recovery, so his prognosis looks a bit better.</p><p>Michael smoked for many years, which no doubt contributed to him developing cancer. He will be undergoing treatment for the next two months.</p><p>Throat cancer usually means cancer of the upper part of the throat behind the nose, as well as the middle and lower areas. It can also consist of cancer of the voice box.</p><p>We wish Michael all the best as he fights to beat this awful disease!</p><p><em><a href="http://www.examiner.com/health-news-in-national/michael-douglas-stage-4-throat-cancer-what-it-is-and-how-it-is-treated-video" target="_blank">Source</a>/Photo: PRPhotos</em></p>]]></description>

                <title>Single Celeb Mum Kate Hudson Not Interested in Marriage</title>
                <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/SGY-019360-1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-77908" title="Kate Hudson" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/SGY-019360-1.jpg" alt="SGY 019360 1 200x300 Single Celeb mum Kate Hudson Not Interested In Marriage" width="250" /></a>She is no doubt one of the most gorgeous celebrity mums in Hollywood, and she definitely has plenty of men drooling after her, but Kate Hudson isn&#8217;t interested in settling down anytime soon.</p><p>Kate graces the cover of the October issue of <strong>ELLE UK</strong> magazine, and on the subject of marriage, she says, &#8220;It&#8217;s definitely not something I&#8217;m looking for.&#8221; Kate goes on to say that she does believe in love, and that when you &#8220;open yourself up to it, it&#8217;s the most beautiful thing.&#8221;</p><p>Hudson carries no bitterness from her divorce from rocker, Chris Robinson, who has since remarried and had another child. She and Chris do an excellent job of remaining friends while co-parenting their son, Ryder, and she still speaks very highly of him. <br /></p><p>&#8220;Chris is a wellspring of information. He knows more about music than anyone I&#8217;ve ever met. I still feel close to him&#8221;, Kate says. Wouldn&#8217;t it be great if more divorced parents could behave like Kate and Chris? Just because two people aren&#8217;t in love anymore doesn&#8217;t mean that respect and friendship can&#8217;t still exist between them. They set such a great example for other split couples, don&#8217;t you think?</p><p>Kate recently began dating Muse frontman, Matt Bellamy, and when asked about him, she simply replied, &#8220;He&#8217;s lovely.&#8221; She also added that the two are still getting to know each other.</p><p>Marriage may or may not be in Kate Hudson&#8217;s future, but she&#8217;s definitely got her priorities straight! She cites &#8220;raising her son properly&#8221;, and being concerned with what makes her and her family happy the most important things on her list.</p><p><em><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/31/kate-hudson-in-british-el_n_700646.html" target="_blank">Source</a>/Photo: PRPhotos</em></p>]]></description>

                <title>Mariah Carey Still Won’t Confirm Pregnancy, Nick Cannon Still Won’t Stop Talking</title>
                <description><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1282328112_mariah-lg2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-77556" title="1282328112_mariah-lg" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/1282328112_mariah-lg2.jpg" alt="Mariah Carey" width="250" /></a>Here we go again &mdash; Nick Cannon ‘not talking’ about Mariah Carey being pregnant! First, he all but confirmed it, then he said that Mariah was ‘superstitious’ and that’s why nothing has been confirmed, and now Cannon is claiming that she’s just ‘spiritual’. Actually &mdash; I think the word he’s looking for is ‘pregnant’!</p><p>Cannon was at the Arthur Ashe Kids Day tennis event in Flushing, New York last Sunday where he spoke with <strong>UsMagazine.com</strong> and said, “I think it&#8217;s more of a spiritual thing, like trying to stay true and stay private for as long as you possibly can. She wants to keep as much privacy as she possibly can.&#8221; <br /></p><p><a href="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/8567628swd.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-77557" title="8567628swd" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/8567628swd.jpg" alt="Mariah Dress" width="250" /></a></p><p>Well, here’s a suggestion if you want to remain private &mdash; don’t go out of the house in a dress that’s sold at Pea in the Pod! I’m pretty sure Mariah can afford to get clothes made for her that aren’t bought at the local maternity store at the mall, so to me this was just a little bit of a desire for attention, don’t you think?</p><p>Carey released a short statement last week thanking fans for their well wishes and support, but claiming she is ‘superstitious’ and &#8220;When the time is right, everyone will know.&#8221;</p><p>I can fully respect a woman’s right to wait until they are ready to announce their pregnancy, but don’t we think this has gone on long enough? By the time they’re ready to officially announce it nobody is going to care anymore! At the very least, if they want to keep the pregnancy under wraps, then maybe Cannon should stop talking about it! What do you think? Do you think all this denial is just silly, or should we respect their privacy until they’re ready to make the big announcement?</p><p><a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/momsbabies/news/mariah-careys-husband-pregnancy-is-a-spiritual-thing-2010308" target="_blank"><em>Source</em></a></p>]]></description>

" width="250" /></a>Neil Patrick Harris may still be revelling in his Emmy success (the actor won two Emmys at the awards), but there&#8217;s something else that he&#8217;s looking forward to even more: the arrival of his twins. The star of <strong>How I Met Your Mother</strong> recently announced that he and his partner, David Burtka, are expecting twins via a surrogate this Northern Fall, and Harris is already taking his role as dad seriously.</p><p>&#8220;I&#8217;m trying to read as much as I can, and prep as much as I can,&#8221; the 37-year-old told Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet on Sunday night. &#8220;But there&#8217;s only so much you can do because each baby is super individual and totally their own person.&#8221;</p><p>Despite preparations, though, he&#8217;s at least wise enough to know that things will inevitably get a little chaotic once the kids make an appearance. &#8220;It&#8217;s the big, crazy, calm before the ridiculous storm,&#8221; he said.</p><p><em><a href="http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20304925_20416605,00.html" target="_blank">Source</a>/Photo: Tina Gill/PR Photos</em></p>]]></description>

The boys had a great time frolicking in the surf and playing in the sand with their famous mum! Wearing matching swim trunks and Zuma with an adorable hat to protect from, the sun, the kids seemed to have a blast!</p><p>And judging from these photos, we can off the recent ‘bump watch’ on Gwen Stefani. The famous singer is looking pretty slim in these pictures in her white tank top and jeans. Although I guess only time will tell, but it seems like every few weeks we’re trying to make her pregnant!</p><p>Check out all the cute pics after the jump.<br /></p><p><a href="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PRP-000856.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="PRP-000856" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PRP-000856-300x236.jpg" alt="Gwen Stefani" width="300" height="236" /></a></p><p><a href="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PRP-0008501.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="PRP-000850" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PRP-0008501-300x259.jpg" alt="Gwen Zuma" width="300" height="259" /></a></p><p><a href="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PRP-000841.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="PRP-000841" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PRP-000841-300x233.jpg" alt="Kingston Rossdale" width="300" height="233" /></a></p><p><a href="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PRP-000851.jpg"><img class="aligncenter" title="PRP-000851" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/PRP-000851-300x210.jpg" alt="Gwen Beach" width="300" height="210" /></a></p><p>It’s nice to see her having so much fun with her boys, and they certainly seem to be having a great time! Stefani seems like a very hands on mum who enjoys spending time with her boys.</p><p>What do you think from these pics &mdash; should we call off the bump watch?</p><p><a href="http://prphotos.com/" target="_blank"><em>Source</em></a></p>]]></description>

                <title>Elin Nordegren People Magazine Interview: I Never Hit Tiger With a Golf Club</title>
                <description><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-76123" href="http://www.babble.com.au/?attachment_id=76123"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-76123" title="Tiger-Woods-Elin-Nordegren" src="http://cdn.babble.com/famecrawler/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/Tiger-Woods-Elin-Nordegren.jpg" alt="elin nordegren" width="250" /></a>In the Elin Nordegren <strong>People</strong> magazine interview, she finally speaks her piece, after nine months of silence, and she would like you to know this: She never went after her now-ex husband, Tiger Woods, with a golf club, despite reports to the contrary.</p><p>Oh, and the mother of two also didn&#8217;t cause him to drive his car into a tree in that bizarre accident that started this entire matter, like everyone speculated. In an exclusive interview with <strong>People</strong> magazine, which she says will be her first and last statement on the subject, Elin says Tiger drove his car into a tree all by himself &mdash; she had nothing to do with it.</p><p>To see what she said, and what she thought about a <strong>Saturday Night Live</strong> sketch that parodied the incident, read on.<br /></p><p>&#8220;The speculation that I would have used a golf club to hit him is just truly ridiculous,&#8221; she tells <strong>People</strong>. &#8220;Tiger left the house that night, and after a while when he didn&#8217;t return, I got worried and decided to look for him. That&#8217;s when I found him in the car. I did everything I could to get him out of the locked car. To think anything else is absolutely wrong.&#8221;</p><p>But Elin earns a good sport award for being able to laugh at herself and her situation despite the emotional tumult she was going through.</p><p>She calls the <strong>SNL</strong> parody, as well as a similar <strong>South Park</strong> joke, &#8220;pretty hysterical,&#8221; though she adds that they were totally untrue.</p><p><em><a href="http://voices.washingtonpost.com/early-lead/2010/08/tiger_woods_ex-wife_elin_norde.html" target="_blank">Source</a></em></p>]]></description>
