Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross – or Bree Van De Kamp to fans – has revealed she is "happy and healthy"  after taking to social media to reveal she had been battling anal cancer.

Actually, what spurned her to reveal more details to fans was after she recently shared a post on Instagram lamenting the loss of her hair after going through chemotherapy. The actress hadn't spoken of her cancer diagnosis before, so naturally, fans were concerned.

“So grateful and happy to be alive but sad that my hair fell out and is about 1 inch long now and looks cra cra,” wrote Cross. “Anyone else have #hairloss due to #cancer? Talk to me. I feel you.”

In the snap, we see Cross looking beautiful (her skin is incredible) and sad as we get a glimpse of her colouring her hair, lamenting how it used to be prior to her cancer diagnosis.

After followers responded in droves, she posted a second photo, reassuring everyone that she was happily, cancer-free despite her hard journey.

“I am so sorry my post wasn’t clear,” she wrote, in response to a flurry of worried messages. “I am POST cancer. All good now. Hard journey, but I am HEALTHY, happy, and more present and grateful than ever. Thank you from the bottom of my ever expanding heart for all of your LOVE.”

However, it was her third message that left many feeling inspired as she explained how liberated and overwhelmed she felt at the outpouring of love and support.

“After posting a picture of myself here and uttering the words #cancer and #hairloss, I felt liberated, deliriously free and completely me,” she said.

In exposing her concerns, her fears, she said it gave her the powerful boost she needed to keep moving forward, living and being happy.

"How or why this simple act gave me such a powerful lift I did not question, but I thanked God or whatever gave me the internal push to move forward and expose myself.”

Cross continued: “I certainly wasn’t expecting the response of love and kindness that flowed to me,” she said.

“I am ecstatically alive."

After revealing that she had anal cancer (with a bit of humour thrown in!), fellow survivors chimed in to offer support and encouragement. 

“Anal cancer survivor here! Difficult one to talk about, glad you are feeling better," wrote one.

“You look gorgeous! And if I didn’t lose hair to chemo, I would NEVER had nerve to try a Mohawk which is now my hairstyle! I used to have beautiful long red hair too, but ahh well, life changes. I’m so glad you’re sharing your story openly… here’s to #survivors,” said another.

We're glad the actress is on the mend and commend her for her moving words.

Former TOWIE star Amy Childs recently welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world.

The 27-year-old, who is also mum to one-year-old daughter Polly, revealed the pregnancy news back in April and gave birth to her son just weeks ago.

She had kept quiet about the father of her latest arrival, preparing to keep those details private.

She has now taken to Instagram to share a first utterly adorable snap of herself with her baby son and young daughter. 

We can't deal with the cuteness!

While Amy has kept quiet since her baby’s arrival, she posted a picture of her tot for the very first time – as she revealed why she’d stayed away from the limelight following the weeks after his birth. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Amy Childs (@amychilds1990) on

She is simply prioritising some family time with her two children.

“Spending time with my babies and realising how lucky I am to have them both,” she wrote. “Sorry I haven’t been on social media the past couple of weeks I wanted to spend time with my son and Polly.” 

It has, she said, been refreshing to take a break from social media as she counts her blessings for this new chapter in her life.

"It’s been really refreshing not constantly being on social media but I just wanted my time with my two beautiful children and my partner. We are so lucky," she continued.

"Don't apologise for choosing to spend this precious time with your family. They're only small for such a small amount of time. Congratulations Amy on your new baby son,  your little family is gorgeous xx" replied one fan. 

No name for her newborn son has been revealed as yet, but in previous interviews, she has dropped hints over some name preferences, saying she preferred "traditional names."

After recently revealing she is expecting her second child, Irish blogger Rosie Connolly has excitedly shared the news of baby number two's gender in a sweet video on Instagram.

Teasing followers as to whether she was expecting a boy or girl, Rosie shared a video alongside husband Paul and their son Harry. 

"Here we go…. It's a… " she captioned the video.

She then, along with help from son Harry, popped a balloon to excitedly reveal the little one’s gender.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Rosie Connolly-Quinn (@rosieconxxx) on

It made for a gorgeous video; the mum and her family were clearly thrilled with the news that she is expecting a little girl.

She had revealed on her Instagram stories that she would be sharing news of the gender, saying: "I can't keep the news that long and you're like my extended family." 

Rosie hadn't known the gender herself until she popped the balloon hence the squeals of delight. 

Rosie and Paul had decided they wanted to wait to have another baby until after their wedding earlier this year.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Rosie Connolly-Quinn (@rosieconxxx) on

She previously said, "We would love to have another baby- if it happens, it happens. Obviously, with our wedding in May we knew that we had to hold off a little."

This mum was over the moon at the news of her pregnancy, saying: "Even more happiness is on its way to us…2019 we’re ready for you."

We can't wait to see the beautiful new addition.

Congratulations to Rosie and all the family.

While we tend to think of celebrities as those who have dedicated their all to the pursuit of what made them famous, in truth, a great many of them are not quite so single-minded.

Sometimes these jobs were first sought before they got famous. Other times these celebs pursued side-projects despite success in whatever made them famous.

Whatever the case, we thought it would be fun to take a look at some celebrities who would have had very different careers if their first plans hadn’t worked out.

Terry Crews

Originally finding success in professional football, retirement left this lovable giant at a loss of what to do with the rest of his working life.

Far from being the cliché jock, Terry showed immense talent in painting.

Sometimes working for commission from his former teammates, and at other times holding a variety of jobs like his brief stint as a courtroom sketch artist, Crews showed that he has a lot more to offer than just his charisma and undeniable handsomeness.

Mayim Bialik

Many of our older readers might recognise her as the lead character in Blossom, though more recently she has seen immense success in The Big Bang Theory sitcom.

Apparently not happy to being relegated to intellectualism on the screen, Mayim spent no short amount of time as a celeb seeking a degree and life of scientific pursuit.

Now having earned a PhD in neuroscience, Mayim stands as one of the few actors who doesn’t just mirror the intelligence of one of her most famous characters, she exceeds it.

Nick Offerman

Best known as the libertarian hard-ass with the heart of gold in the sitcom Parks and Recreation, his character’s affinity for woodworking was more than just theatrical.

A highly skilled and successful carpenter in his own right, Nick still finds work crafting in his own time, finding it helps him balance and give him another creative outlet.

While he commonly builds furniture, his speciality is wooden canoes, which as we all know, is the most outdoorsy thing to build since a stone tied to a stick.

Christopher Lee

This is one of the most famous vampire actors of all time, and a modern household name as Saruman in the Lord of the Rings film trilogy.

Not just a badass in the magical or bloodsucking sense, the late Lee also served his country during the Second World War.

Tasked with tracking down war criminals, Lee was notoriously tight-lipped about his time in the Special Forces, though occasionally his experience would pay off in his later acting career.

While filming Lord of the Rings, Lee was being directed by Peter Jackson in how to act following being stabbed in the back.

Lee famously responded with “Have you any idea what kind of noise happens when somebody’s stabbed in the back? Because I do.”

We could write a book on the wide range of interesting careers which celebrities have held in the past and who knows, we just might.

A few weeks after singer Demi Lovato was suddenly hospitalised due to an apparent overdose, her mother Dianna De La Graza, has given an update on her daughter's recovery.

Demi is “doing really well.”

Lovato’s mother, Dianna De La Garza, spoke publicly about the incident for the first time in which she said it's been hard for the whole family, and she still gets frightened when thinking back on it. “I literally start to shake a little bit when I start to remember what happened that day,” she said.

In what only must have added to the distressing situation, she explained that on the day her daughter was taken ill, her phone was bombarded with messages from people expressing concern for her daughter but that she herself was unaware of what had happened until she spoke to the star’s assistant. She added that she was "in shock" but that she and her family quickly rushed to Lovato's side in hospital in Los Angeles.  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on

 “We got there as quickly as we could. [my daughters] Dallas and Madison and I jumped out of the car at the emergency room and ran into the emergency room to be by her side. She just didn’t look good, at all. She was in bad shape. But I said to her, ‘Demi, I’m here. I love you’. And at that point she said back to me, ‘I love you, too’.”

The Skyscraper singer was taken to hospital in July and later wrote a message to fans on her Instagram page saying she had learned addiction is “not something that disappears or fades with time” but that she would "keep fighting."

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Demi Lovato (@ddlovato) on

De La Garza thanked fans for their support – celebrities, friends and fans have all publicly spoken of the support and strength they wanted to offer Demi as she recovers – and said that she was feeling positive due to her daughter's current condition.

"[She is] doing really well”, adding: “She’s happy. She’s healthy. She’s working on her sobriety, and she’s getting the help she needs. That in itself encourages me about her future and about the future of our family.” 

Demi is known for her open and honest conversations when it comes to her personal struggles with addiction and other health issues. We hope she's recovering and getting the help and continued support she deserves.

Former partners Scott Disick and Kourtney Kardashian got into a heated discussion about their children.

In a sneak peek of Sunday’s episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the two are shown arguing over Scott’s recent decision.

Kourtney confronts him about the way he is balancing his new relationship with parenting their three young kids.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

they make my heart melt

A post shared by Kourtney Kardashian (@kourtneykardash) on

According to E! News, the fight came after the dad introduced his new girlfriend, Sofia Richie, to his children without consulting their mother first.

Scott calls his ex-partner “annoying” when she expresses her anger at the situation.

“It’s called giving someone a heads up and having a respectful conversation — giving someone the respect,” the mum tried to explain.

But the father did not agree with the point she was trying to make, saying that sometimes “things don’t always go as planned”.

Kourtney countered: “I make sacrifices all the time and you’re not following through with the things you say you’re going to do. Then you just go and do whatever you want, and I’m not okay with it.”

But Scott was on a completely different page than the model, attributing her reaction to her “overly controlling” and “difficult” nature.

“I think you expect a lot from a lot of people,” Scott continued. “But not always can your expectations always be met, even though people are trying their hardest to please you.”

The mum admitted being a “perfectionist” but said that it was “not okay” for Scott to “do whatever [he] wants”.

In this couple’s case, co-parenting is important to both of them, but Kourtney felt left out of an important parenting decision.

Hopefully, the pair can resolve the disagreement soon, but we will have to stay tuned for the next episode’s release to find out.

Like mother, like daughter! The Beckham family is one of our favourite families and while the boys get their fair share of time in the spotlight, we've always thought Harper is utterly adorable – and it's clear she's the dote of the family. 

Case in point: her latest haircut. She's more like her mum's mini-me than ever, with her stylish bob very reminiscent of her mum's Spice Girl days – so many Posh Spice vibes! Dad David looks proud as punch of his beloved daughter too!

It could be coincidental that the 7-year-old is channelling mum is a subtle way but we doubt it somehow. The 44-year-old fashion designer has been known to sport some shorter styles throughout her life, and now it seems it's her only daughter's time to rock those shorter locks.

It's clear she is a fashionista in the making; the cut looks sweet (and the white shirt she's paired it with is perfect) but not overly grown-up. 

And one thing is for sure, Harper already has her mum's famous pout down!

On a recent family vacation, Victoria revealed to her social media followers that little Harper was paying homage to her mom's past.

We wonder how else she might follow in mum's footsteps?

Sophia Sanchez is currently in hospital awaiting a heart transplant, and has two very special wishes: to meet Drake and get a new heart. 

The 11-year-old is such a huge fan of the In My Feelings singer that she did the Kiki Challenge while hooked up to her IVF.

A video of her dancing was posted to social media. 

 

 

A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) on

And it is thanks to this video that the two of them met.

After seeing her dance, Drake decided that he would take a trip to Lurie's Children Hospital of Chicago, where the pair hung out and bonded over basketball, owls and Justin Bieber!

A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) on

The young girl, who, according to the MailOnline, has cardiomyopathy and underwent open heart surgery just three weeks ago, was in absolute shock when the 31-year-old walked up to her.

"Oh my god," she screams, before giving him a hug.

"You asked me to come; I'm here" he says to her, like it's a normal thing for a superstar to pop in and say hey. 

The two chatted about Riverdale, which the rapper has seen "once or twice", took selfies, and exchanged autographs! 

The rapper sang her God's Plan and gifted her with merchandise. 

But the sweetness doesn't stop there!

The rapper wasn't just going past the hospital and decided to pop in – he cancelled a concert just so he could meet her. 

Like, melting!

Huge congratulations are in order for Catfish’s Nev Schulman and his wife Laura Perlongo who are expecting baby number two.

The couple shared the joyous news yesterday evening by posting individual snaps on their Instagram accounts.

 

A post shared by Nev Schulman (@nevschulman) on

They enlisted the help of their 21-month-old daughter Cleo James to share the news. It’s safe to say she’ll be the best big sister.

Nev revealed the news by sharing a witty snap of his family looking at a bun in the oven.

He wrote: “WE GOT A BUN IN THE OVEN! see you in January lil’ guy,” alongside the photo.

 

A post shared by Nev Schulman (@nevschulman) on

The dad also revealed that Laura is expecting a baby boy. How exciting!

Fans quickly congratulated the presenter: “Congratulations. I am so happy for you. Wonderful news.”

“Omg! That's great! I'm due in January too!” another shared.

 

A post shared by Laura Perlongo (@el_peego) on

“Aww congratulations guys. Such a beautiful family! Wish you all the best,” one gushed.

Laura also posted her own photo to confirm the pregnancy news. The soon-to-be mum-of-two shared a snap of her and Nev looking nervously at Cleo as she cried.

“Cleo is getting a baby brother! It’s gonna be great!” the writer joked.

 

A post shared by Laura Perlongo (@el_peego) on

Nev and Laura welcomed their first child- a daughter called Cleo- in October 2016.

The Catfish host gushed about their new arrival: “Best. Thing. Ever. Cleo James arrived at 6.01am weighing 6lbs 10oz. Shout-out to my baby mama for delivering this bundle of joy.”

We are delighted for the family. 2019 is going to be quite the special year for them.

I’ve been a Taylor Swift fan since my early teens so when I found out I was going to her Dublin show on the Reputation tour I was overjoyed. I couldn’t help but shed a few happy tears.

I know she isn’t everyone's cup of tea, some people find her fake, others think her music is cringey, but one thing you must applaud her for is how she opened up about being a victim of sexual assault.

August 14 marked the one year anniversary of the day the jury sided in the singer’s favour in her case against former radio host David Mueller.

 

A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

As she looked out at a crowd of loving fans, Taylor opened up about the trial: “A year ago I was not playing in a stadium in Tampa, I was in a courtroom in Denver, Colorado. This is the day the jury sided in my favor and said that they believed me.”

The Delicate singer welled up as she spoke about all of the victims who were ignored and pushed aside. The ones who weren’t taken seriously. The ones who weren’t listened to.

 

A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

“I just think about all the people that weren’t believed and the people who haven’t been believed, and the people who are afraid to speak up because they think they won’t be believed,” Taylor said.

“I just wanted to say I’m sorry to anyone who ever wasn’t believed because I don’t know what turn my life would have taken if somebody didn’t believe me when I said something had happened to me.”

The You Belong With Me continued: "I just wanted to say we have so much further to go, and I’m so grateful to you guys for being there for me for what was really a horrible part of my life.”

Taylor thanked her fans for seeing her through all the good times- the number one songs, the sold out tours and the awards- and the bad times- the breakups, the online abuse and the groping trial.

She addressed the crowd: “I wanted to say that I’m so happy to see you and to have you and know you through the ups and the downs in my life.”

The singer struggled to hold back her tears during the moving speech: “Sorry I just haven’t really talked about it, and so I’m just not composed at all.”

Following the Look What You Made Me Do singer's tear-jerking speech, fans held up $1 notes to support Taylor and survivors of sexual abuse. 

Reasons like this remind me of why I have adored the Call It What You Want singer since I was a teenager. Sure, you may not enjoy her music, but her courage is something we should all appreciate.

Our favourite ginger, Ed Sheeran sat down with Dermot O'Leary to talk all things Éire. 

Naturally, things took a personal route and Dermot quizzed Ed about his most-loved things to do in Ireland.

That includes his favourite city on his recent tour, his number-one place to visit and all the gigs he has done around the country before he hit superstar status.

 

Cork night #1 ! @zakarywalters

A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) on

Now, before you take your guesses: Dublin-folk take a seat.

The Galway Girl singer said the wanna-be capital, Cork was his number one fav stop on his tour around Ireland.

Although, Dublin has a special place in his heart as he's gigged in Whelan's, Vicar street and the Olympia.

 

Dublin night #2 !

A post shared by Ed Sheeran (@teddysphotos) on

When asked what was the difference between Belfast, Dublin and Galway crowds on his tour, Ed's answer was way too relatable for any Irish person.

Poor Belfast was washed out of it when it came time for the 27-year-old to take to the stage.

Therefore, the crowds' enthusiasm had been well dampened, according to the singer. 

Ed confessed to Dermot that he has more of a connection to an Irish crowd than a Scottish – ah, bless.

Don't get too big headed though, this is due to the influence of Irish music and taking about five annual trips growing up, to our beautiful country. 

Adding sweetly in the intimidate Q and A, Ed said the guy who made him want to write music was Irish.

Now getting to the proper juicy part, Ed's favourite place in the Emerald Island is….Dingle Bay.

Honestly, we cannot even blame him. 

Situated in Kerry, it marks one of the westernmost points of mainland Ireland, and it's breathtaking. 

Unsurprisingly, the bay is a usual hot-spot with tourists too.

However, Ed advised anyone wanting to live in Ireland to move to Wexford.

It seems like the singer is always true to his roots – and we love him for it.

Ed and Dermot's chat was a part of Ireland.com's tourism project.

So sit back, enjoy the natter and the incredibly beautiful Irish spots featured throughout the video, which is bound to give you the travel bug.

The 'Queen of Soul' Aretha Franklin is said to be fighting for her life in hospital in Detroit. According to reports, the Respect singer is “gravely ill.”

Reporter for Showbiz411.com Roger Friedman broke the devastating news. He said her family are asking for the public’s prayers during this harrowing time.

Her family have gathered around her bedside in the Detroit hospital: “She will be missed as a mother, sister, friend and cousin," he wrote.

“Her legacy is larger than life. It’s not just that Rolling Stone called her the number 1 singer of all time, or that she is the Queen of Soul. Long live the Queen,” he added.

It is believed the Say A Little Prayer singer had been battling exhaustion and dehydration earlier this year, which resulted in the cancellation of numerous concerts.

She last performed in August 2017 at Philadelphia’s Mann Center.

It is believed the Natural Woman singer was diagnosed with cancer in 2010. Her rapid weight loss is said to be the cause of a relapse in 2017.

Our thoughts are with her family, friends and fans during this devastating time.
