Abby Lee Miller Has Been Diagnosed with Cancer
A day after being rushed into surgery for what doctors believed to be an infection in her spine, Abby Lee Miller received an even more troubling diagnosis:
She has been diagnosed with cancer.
Specifically, the former Dance Moms host has been diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma, which is a form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
This is an illness in which cancer starts in one’s B-cells and it can be fatal if left untreated.
But there’s a 90% long-term survival rate for those who catch it and work with their physicians on a treatment plan.
Dr. Hooman M. Melamed, an orthopedic spine surgeon at Cedar Sinai Marina Del Rey Hospital, confirmed this diagnosis to People Magazine.
He’s the same doctor who performed emergency surgery on Miller early Tuesday morning, tell the same publication that the star would have died without it.
He said at the time, however, that Miller’s temporary paralysis was due to an infection.
“It was not an infection, it was a type of a non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma – it’s a type of a cancer,” Dr. Melamed now explains, expounding as follows:
“We’re getting an oncologist involved and we have to figure out what the next steps are as far as chemotherapy or radiation or more spine surgery.
“Depending on the tumor type, depending on the sensitivity of the tumor – it just depends the type but I feel more than yes, she will undergo chemotherapy or radiation.”
Over the weekend, Miller went to the emergency room due to “excruciating neck pain” and weakness in her arm.
Melamed said her her condition deteriorated over the next couple days, prompting a CT scan and a multi-level laminectomy at about 1 a.m. Tuesday.
Miller is now able to move her arms, legs and toes as a result of the procedure.
“If we didn’t do something, she was going to die,” Dr. Melamed previously told People. “Her blood pressure was bottoming out. She was not doing well.”
The controversial reality star quit Dance Moms last March and then spent over eight months as an inmate at FCI Victorville prison in California.
She was sentenced to one year and one day in prison (followed by two years of supervised release) in May of 2017 after she pleaded guilty to the charge of concealing bankruptcy assets and to one count of not reporting an international monetary transaction.
Abby was also fined $ 40,000 and ordered to pay a $ 120,000 judgment.
“Sometimes in life you make mistakes,” Miller wrote on social media in January, adding:
“I trusted the wrong people and didn’t pay any attention to things I should of. I’m more than sorry for the mistakes I have made.
“My world flipped upside down when I had to enter prison. I did so with grace.”
Just a few weeks ago, Miller was transferred at the end of March to the Residential Reentry Center in Long Beach.
This is a facility that provides a structured and supervised environment and it’s where she’ll be given employment counseling, job placement and financial management assistance.
Via various statements and interviews, it’s been evident that Miller will try to sign on for another reality show of some kind after she is a fully free woman.
But now all plans, we presume, must be placed on hold while she takes care of her health.
We wish her the best.

Neil Diamond Diagnosed With Parkinson"s, Announces Ends of Concert Career
Neil Diamond made a very sad announcement on Monday night:
Due to a recent medical diagnosis, the legendary singer has been forced to retire from touring, effective immediately.
The musician, who turns 77 years old on January 24, confirmed via his official website this evening that he has Parkinson’s Disease.
“It is with great reluctance and disappointment that I announce my retirement from concert touring. I have been so honored to bring my shows to the public for the past 50 years,” Diamond said.
He continued:
”My sincerest apologies to everyone who purchased tickets and were planning to come to the upcoming shows.”
That’s very sweet and very silly, of course.
Diamond does not owe anyone an apology of any kind.
The statement went on to detail how the onset of the Parkinson’s Disease has “made it difficult to travel and perform on a large scale basis but will allow Mr. Diamond to continue his writing, recording and development of new projects.”
Parkinson’s is a neurological disease.
It typically affects one’s motor skills, along with one’s balance and the use of one’s limbs.
There is no known cause.
It is not considered fatal, but there are no known cures, either, and it can be very debilitating.
Added Diamond on his website:
“I plan to remain active in writing, recording and other projects for a long time to come. My thanks goes out to my loyal and devoted audiences around the world.
“You will always have my appreciation for your support and encouragement.
“This ride has been ‘so good, so good, so good’ thanks to you.”
As a result of this diagnosis, the third leg of Diamond’s 50th Anniversary tour has been canceled, including the Australia and New Zealand dates that were scheduled to kick off in March.
Simply put, Diamond is a music legend.
He’s an all-timer.
The musician has sold over 130 million albums and earned a spot in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame.
Among his most beloved tracks:
- “I’m a Believer” (1967)
- “Red Red Wine” (1967)
- “Sweet Caroline (Good Times Never Seemed So Good)” (1969)
- “Cracklin’ Rosie” (1970)
Despite his advanced age, Diamond has performed regularly over the past few years.
He was a major draw on FOX’s New Year’s Eve with Steve Harvey: Live From Times Square just a couple weeks ago, for example.
The Recording Academy will honor Diamond with its prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award during the Grammy Awards on January 28 on CBS.
We’ll be tuning in.
And we doubt there will be a dry eye in the house.

Beth Chapman: Dog The Bounty Hunter Star Diagnosed With Throat Cancer
Beth Chapman, the wife of Dog the Bounty Hunter, is battling stage two throat cancer.
The star confirmed the news to Radar Online.
“As most of you know I’ve spent a lifetime facing tests and challenges I didn’t see coming and certainly never expected,” Chapman’s statement begins.
“I’ve been dealt my share of unexpected blows over the course of my almost fifty years but nothing as serious as the one I heard from my doctors two weeks ago when they uttered those dreaded three words, ‘You have cancer."”
The reality star has confirmed it is a T2 tumor in her throat and it is affecting her breathing. The big issue plaguing the Dog the Bounty Hunter star is that doctors want surgery to proceed before the disease spreads.
“To be certain, I’ve stared down the devil more than once in my life but I’ve never faced a real life or death decision. My life has never been easy, and I surely don’t expect it to start now,” she wrote.
“Still, I’ve never been a victim and I won’t let cancer beat me. I realize the road I am about to travel will be rocky, full of unexpected twists and turns. But I know one thing for sure. A bend in the road is not the end of the road.”
It’s certainly a good way of looking at things. While some people would break down at the thought of such a harsh disease taking over their body, Beth is not ready to give up and sees this as a mere hurdle along the way.
“I will fight every step of the way. My husband and children are counting on me to be there for years to come,” Beth wrote to her followers. “I am so very grateful to be surrounded by family and friends who have given me incredible support during this very challenging time.”
Beth became a firm favorite with fans of reality TV when she appeared on Dog the Bounty Hunter with her husband, Duane Chapman and their family.
The series was a huge hit, airing from 2004-2012, but that was not the end of their grip on the reality TV world. After leaving A&E behind, they moved over to CMT to headline Dog & Beth: On the Hunt.
That show aired from 2013-2015, and the family has steered clear from the reality TV cameras since, but that’s not to say they are not still very popular.
They still have legions of fans across of the world.
We at THG would like to wish Beth a full and speedy recovery.

Maria Menounos: Diagnosed With Brain Tumor as Mom Fights Brain Cancer
Maria Menounos is on the road to recovery after having surgery to remove a golf-ball-size meningioma brain tumor.
The 39-year-old underwent the surgery while her mother, Litsa Menounos, battled stage 4 brain cancer.
The E! News coanchor confirmed the news to People Magazine.
“This February I thought I had an ear infection, so I went to a doctor, and he said, ‘Your ears are the cleanest things I’ve ever seen. What else are you feeling?’ I’d been getting light-headed on-set and having headaches.”
“My speech had gotten slurred, and I was having difficulty reading the teleprompter. I said, ‘I know you’re going to think I’m crazy, but I think I have a brain tumor like my mom,’” Maria continued.
“He said, ‘I don’t think you’re crazy. Let’s just get an MRI.’ The next week I started feeling better, so I was like, ‘I’m clearly paranoid.’ So I kept pushing the MRI.”
Fast forward three months and the tumor has been removed. The tumor was revealed not to be cancerous, and her prognosis is hopeful.
Maria has decided to give up her role within E! News to recover and allow herself to think about the next chapter of her life.
“I am so grateful for the past three years at E!, I had such an amazing time co-hosting with Jason Kennedy and working everyday with the wonderful roster of talent on the show including producers, staff, and crew,” Maria said in a statement.
“It was such a special, good-hearted group and one I’ll always consider family. A special thank you to Frances Berwick and Adam Stotsky for all the support they have shown me through the years especially during these tough times. I will truly miss everyone and looking forward to this next chapter in my life.”
In addition to speaking to People, Maria opened up about her experience on The Today Show.
“For me, I saw it as a huge blessing and a huge gift because I needed to change my life,” she said, trying to hold back the tears.
“We’re caretakers as women, and we help everybody, and we put ourselves last always. And I don’t think — at least for me — I guess I realized I didn’t value myself in a lot of ways. And so I think that that was a really important lesson.”
Maria also opened up about her intentions to start a family in the wake of the ordeal.
“I want to start a family,” she added on Today. “You realize really quickly when something like this happens that nothing else really matters.”
We at The Hollywood Gossip wish Maria a speedy recovery.

Charlotte Rae Diagnosed With Bone Cancer
Charlotte Rae has been diagnosed with bone cancer.
The 91-year-old actress confirmed the news in an emotional statement to PEOPLE.
“Last Monday, I found out I have bone cancer,” the Facts of Life star revealed.
“About seven years ago, I was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer — which is a miracle that they found it because usually, it’s too late. My mother, sister and my uncle died of pancreatic cancer. After six months of chemotherapy, I was cancer-free. I lost my hair, but I had beautiful wigs. Nobody even knew.
“So now, at the age of 91, I have to make up my mind. I’m not in any pain right now. I’m feeling so terrific and so glad to be above ground,” she explains.
“Now I have to figure out whether I want to go have treatment again to opt for life. I love life. I’ve had a wonderful one already. I have this decision to make.”
She was supposed to start treatment on Thursday, but has confirmed she’s going to think on it for a while.
“I wanted to think about it first,” she says.
“I think I’m going to go for it. The side effects were not too bad when I did it originally. I’ve had a great life, but I have so many wonderful things happening. I’d like to choose life. I’m grateful for the life I’ve already had.”
Charlotte has a career in the industry that dates all the way back to 1954. She got her first big break on The United States Steel Hour as Ramona.
Her most recent appearance was on Disney Channel’s recently canceled, Girl Meets World.
Rae released a memoir in 2015 that chronicled some key events in her life, while confirming that she had a very positive outlook on life.
“At 91, every day is a birthday,” she says. “[In my book] I want to tell everybody to celebrate every day, to savor the day and be good to yourself, love yourself, and then you can be good to others and be of service to others.”
We wish Charlotte a speedy recovery.
