Giuliana Rancic Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis At 37

Giuliana Rancic has cancer.

Giuliana Rancic, the host of “E! News” had an announcement to make during a Monday appearance on Today, which we expected to be a joyous one: That she was pregnant at last.

That made the actual announcement all the more heartbreaking. “I have early stage breast cancer” the 37-year-old told Today host Ann Curry, adding that her doctor made the frightening discovery back in August as she was about to begin IVF.

Rancic explained that her doctor sternly insisted that she get a mammogram before going through with the third IVF treatment. That might have saved her life.

The star, who said she has no family history of breast cancer, “wasn’t prepared to get a mammogram until I was 40 years old,” she admitted.

“I never in my wildest dreams expected anything to be wrong.”

When the hospital called a few days later to tell her the shocking news, Rancic says she was “sobbing… It was like the world just crashed around me.”

But she says, “I will be okay, because I found it early. I’m doing surgery this coming week, and then I go to radiation for six and a half weeks.”

At her side throughout the ordeal, of course, is doting husband Bill Rancic. “Bill is unbelievable,” Giuliana gushed. “He lets me cry when I want to cry.”

“He just lets me feel what I want to feel.”

As for her pregnancy plans, she says this:

“I’m not gonna give up. That baby will have saved my life,” she mused. “There’s some master plan. Now I know that [God] was looking out for me. I think a lot of us think we’re invincible. We have to start putting ourselves on the to do list.”

Terrifying as it must have been, thank goodness it was caught early. Here’s wishing Giuliana and all those suffering from cancer a full and fast recovery.

Brenda Walsh Got Married!

Shannen Doherty is a married woman for the third time. Her husband this time? A fellow named Kurt Iswarienko!

The 40-year-old actress who most notably played Brenda Walsh on the original 90210, said “I do” to her fiancé at sunset in Malibu, according to reports.

The black-tie affair took place at a private estate nestled in the hills . . . and will air on her reality show on WETV as part of the season finale early next year.

Yes, Shannen Doherty and Kurt Iswarienko have a reality show coming out, and it revolves around planning their wedding. Is this a great country or what?

Shannen previously ended short-lived marriages to Ashley Hamilton and notorious Paris Hilton sex tape costar Rick Salomon. Third time’s the charm?

“Marriage to me is such a gigantic commitment that it’s not something I’d ever go into lightly anymore” says Doherty. “I’ve learned my lesson.”

Congratulations and best of luck to the couple!

Zachary Quinto Is Gay

It’s long been suspected, but former Heroes star Zachary Quinto made the announcement this week: he’s gay.

Coming off a performance on stage in Angels in America - playing a character who abandons his AIDS-stricken boyfriend - Quinto spoke to New York Magazine this week and said the off-Broadway play was “the most challenging thing I’ve ever done as an actor, and the most rewarding,” adding:


“At the same time, as a gay man, it made me feel like there’s still so much work to be done, and there’s still so many things that need to be looked at and addressed.”

And this is how you announce you’re gay. Casually dropping it in a weekly magazine. Not by putting your airbrushed face on the cover of PEOPLE. It’s much more dignified this way but less flamboyant. Which is ironic, I guess. Although you could go the Ricky Martin route and bounce around the beach with your gay workout buddy in your speedos for a few years causing everyone to speculate and then come out of the closet on your website when no one cares anymore.
