Star Jones’ Health Scare
March 31st, 2009
Before she was Star Jones, famous TV personality, she was a teenage girl struggling with a weight problem and a scary diagnosis.
"I was diagnosed with a tumor in my chest cavity," she tells Extra in an interview airing tonight of her health scare as a teen. "It left me with some physical scars and some emotional ones and I used to do everything in my power to hide the scar on the center of my chest."
"When they took the bandages off in the hospital, I had a complete nervous breakdown, almost," she adds. "[I wasp] crying because I saw my chest with stitches and sutures and it really devastated me at 19 years old."
Star also says the radiation treatment she underwent affected her weight.
"My thyroid was completely irradiated. So I saw myself balloon over the years and then that coupled with being lethargic and sedentary and overeating and relying on food, it just became an epidemic," says the formerly overweight TV personality.
Star will continue to shed light on her 160-pound weight loss on Oprah tomorrow, praising the daytime diva by saying,"She gives you a very safe place to share and sort of free yourself from demons. Oprah has been very candid about her weight struggles and I think it gave me a little bit of camaraderie to know that I was not just talking to her but I was talking to a number of her viewers who face the same struggle daily."

What does she love about the designer?
“He’s from another time,” the mother to Apple, 4, and Moses, 2, says. “He’s one of the last — it’s maybe him and Karl Lagerfeld. They’re from a whole other? era where things were made completely differently. The approach is ?very different – the attention to detail, the perfection. He’s a real? master. It was incredible to see. I had the pleasure of going to his couturier and watching him? work a couple of times. Those are memories that I will really ?treasure. It’s amazing to see.”
Here comes Anne Hathaway. What has Valentino taught her?
“The search for beauty in your life is a worthy endeavor,” she says.
Selita Ebanks admits her style icon is Kate Moss.
“I love her because she’s a genius,” the Victoria’s Secret model, who was once engaged to Nick Cannon, tells me. “She takes something that’s glamorous and mixes and matches expensive, trendy and something that’s out of the box. I think that she’s fearless. I love her.”
What’s a life ‘do’ for Martha Stewart? “Be creative,” she yuks.

Joe Biden’s Wife Spills Secrets During Oprah Taping
January 19th, 2009 / Author: OK! Staff
Once Barack Obama and Joe Biden take office on Tuesday, they might want to keep the Vice President-elect’s wife Jill Biden away from any top-secret files — at least until she learns to not talk about them on national TV!
Joe and his wife of 31 years were the surprise guests at a Monday afternoon taping of a special inauguration-themed episode of The Oprah Winfrey show. But the real surprise came when Jill accidentally spilled the beans about some campaign secrets.
"When Oprah asked about how Joe being the Vice President would affect their family, Jill told her that he’d actually had the choice between being VP or Secretary of State," one audience member told OK! after the taping at Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center.
According to those inside the theater, the entire audience gasped and the VP-elect himself seemed taken aback by the slip-up.
"He put his finger over his lips and made a gesure like he was shushing his wife," said one witness. "Even after the commotion subsided, he seemed a little uneasy… leaning back with his arms crossed."
Once Oprah got over the shock of Jill’s accidental statement, she was able to continue on with the interview. Taking it in stride, Mrs. Biden explained to the queen of chat that, had her husband taken the job as Secretary of State — which ultimately went to Hillary Clinton — he would have been away from the family, traveling the world all the time. Taking the VP position allowed the entire Biden family to become part of the process, she explained.
When the show took a break following the Biden’s exit, a shocked Oprah turned to the audience and kept repeating, "Oh… my… God!"
Check out the whole interview for yourself this afternoon, when the episode airs.

Cate Blanchett’s Unorthodox Love Advice
November 19th, 2008
Cate Blanchett gave a viewer on the Oprah Winfrey Show some food for thought when she offered up her advice for finding the perfect mate.
When a caller asked the question, "What were you looking for when you found your husband?" Cate revealed, "Someone once said to me, and I think it’s quite true, that if your bodies actually fit together when you’re sleeping together in bed–I’m not going to get into too much detail– you’re in good stead," the Oscar winner said between giggles.
Cate added, "When you can spoon with someone, then you’re okay. Because you might not vote the same way, you might not have the same politics, but sometimes that works for people."
The actress also emphasized humor. "If you’re going to stay together, you’ve got to laugh a little bit. So spooning, humor and self-respect. My husband is a very strong individual. He’s not threatened…He’s happy for my success, and I’m happy for his."
Cate, 39, who appears in the film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button alongside Brad Pitt, has been married to husband Andrew Upton since 1997. The couple has three children, Dashiell, 7, Roman, 4, and Ignatius, 7 months.
