TAMRA BARNEY REVEALS CANCER BATTLE: Tamra Barney, one of the Real Housewives of Orange County, revealed that she had cervical cancer. The reality star told Dr. Oz that she recently removed her breast implants after learning of the condition. She explained, “I have a long list of reasons why I had them removed. Starting with they always felt too big for my body.” But also, she added, “I had a little health scare. I was going through this divorce. I go to the doctor and I have lumps in my breasts and I had cervical cancer that had to be removed.” Because she talked about the cancer in the past sense, it seems as though it was successfully removed.

MILA KUNIS AS BETHENNY FRANKEL? Bethenny Frankel’s first novel, Skinnydipping, has not even hit stores yet — but she’s already planning the movie version.

It has the arc, the story, the characters to be a film.” As for who she thinks would be right for the lead role — loosely based on herself? “When I thought about the lead character, I thought about people like Mila Kunis.

Kim Kardashian’s new boyfriend Kanye West will reportedly appear on the next season of the family reality show. RadarOnline.com reported that Kanye will show up repeatedly towards the end of Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ upcoming season.

A source told the website, “Kanye is head over heels in love with Kim, and he has told her he would love to appear on the reality show if she wants him to.

Viewers won’t see him featured in the first part of the season, and it won’t be all about Kanye.”

KHLOE COMMENTS ON LAMAR NEWS

Although Lamar Odom left the Dallas Mavericks on Monday in what was described as a “mutual” agreement — his wife Khloe hinted that it was Dallas who did the dumping.

After news of Odom’s ouster broke, Khloe tweeted, “Never a dull moment.” She added to Lamar, “You deserve so much better. Know your worth and know your skills that have been proven and earned!”

Odom put up disappointing numbers since being traded to Dallas at the beginning of the season and will now be listed as inactive for the rest of the season. Instead of being formally released, the Mavericks can trade him after the season ends.
