Angela Raiola Hospitalized with Stage 4 Lung and Brain Cancer

Very sad news this week out of the television world:

Mob Wives star Angela “Big Ang” Raiola has been hospitalized for stage 4 lung and brain cancer.

Raiola’s sister, Janine Detore, revealed this tragic diagnosis to fans on Wednesday, saying that treatments for the VH1 reality star have not been working.

As a result, she has created a GoFundMe page in the hopes of raising $ 25,000 for alternative cures.

“My sister was diagnosed with stage 4 brain and lung cancer,” Detore wrote on this GoFundMe page.

“Chemotherapy was started January 5th. On January 26th the doctor reviewed her CT scan and informed us that the treatment was not working, and in fact one tumor grew larger and the other tumors had no change.”

Last March, the 55-year old told People Magazine that she was diagnosed with a lemon-sized tumor in her throat.

A mother of two, Angela said she quit smoking (following 40 years of the habit) that day and underwent surgery in June.

“We were advised that she would start immunotherapy the following week,” Detore writes online, bringing fans up to date.

“Here we are at the emergency room waiting to see why her breathing is labored and the amount of pain she is having is by far more than she could handle.

“So I suggested cannabis oil as an alternative. This is why I am putting up this go fund me to try to help my sister to get this oil to help her at least be pain free. Angela cannot function to work anymore.”

Thus far, supporters have surpassed the family’s goal and raised over $ 30,000 for Big Ang.

We send her our very best wishes.

Angela "Big Ang" Raiola: Fighting Stage 4 Cancer; Family Braces For the Worst

In April of last year, Mob Wives cast member Angela “Big Ang” Raiola was diagnosed with throat cancer.

The popular reality star  – who’s raspy voice has become one of her trademarks – underwent a surgery that was described as a “complete success” and quickly returned to making public appearances. Unfortunately, it now looks as though she was far from out of the woods at that time.

Radar Online is reporting that Big Ang’s cancer has returned, and this time, the 55-year-old’s diagnosis is much worse.

According to the site, Raiola is now suffering from stage four cancer, and chemotherapy doesn’t appear to be helping.

“It’s serious,” says one insider. “She isn’t doing well right now.”

Ang’s sister, Janice Detore, has set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for Raiola’s treatment.

The family is close to reaching its $ 25,000 goal, but Detore’s description of her sister’s condition is far from encouraging:

“As you know my sister was diagnosed with stage 4 brain and lung cancer,” she writes.

“Chemotherapy was started January 5 th. On January 26th the doctor reviewed her CT scan and informed us that the treatment was not working, and in fact one tumor grew larger and the other tumors had no change.”

Detore adds that Raiola’s “breathing is labored and the amount of pain she is having is by far more than she can handle.”

As traditional treatments seem to be doing little to relieve Ang’s pain, Detore plans to use the donated funds to purchase cannabis oil and other alternative medicines.

“Angela cannot function to work anymore,” Detore writes. “I’m not sure that it will work but I’m praying.”

Ang has thanked fans for their support in a brief social media message, but her family says it may be several months before she’s able to resume her public appearance schedule.

Sarah Stage Takes Dressing Room Selfie With Baby Lying on Floor: Not Cool or Who Cares?

You may remember Sarah Stage as the model whose taut baby bump earned her lots of negative attention earlier this year.

Despite her tiny tummy, Sarah gave birth to big baby boy back in April, but now she’s once again drawing the ire of the Internet with a controversial selfie:

Obviously, the first thing that catches your eye in this photo is Sarah’s Kardashian-esque backside, but once you get over the new mom’s curves, your eyes may make their way to the floor, where you’ll see what first appears to be some sort of discarded stuffed animal.

As our friends at Fishwrapper pointed out, that’s actually Sarah’s baby lying on the floor as she poses for a sultry dressing room selfie.

Sarah has taken a fair amount of crap for this pic, but frankly, we’re fine with it.

Look, do you remember the oppressive, stultifying boredom of being dragged to the mall with your mom when you were a little kid?

Now imagine if your mom wore clothes for a living and insisted on taking a selfie every time she tried something on.

The process probably takes hours, and we imagine this dude was quickly overwhelmed by the desire to be at home watching a Sesame Street parody of Game of Thrones that won’t be funny to him for 15 years.

So he took a nap; she snapped some selfies – everyone was happy. And we should all be fine with that.

But a word of advice, Sarah: Next time just crop the kid out of the pic so you don’t have to deal with this, mmm-kay?

Will Smith Makes Return to the Stage!

For the past several months, Will Smith has been in the news for a myriad of reasons.

None of which have much to do with his professional career, let alone his musical professional career.

The actor/rapper has taken a slight break from filming or recording in order to help raise the profiles of daughter Willow and son Jaden.

He"s also spent endless time fighting off divorce rumors, swearing that his marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith is all good.

But Smith went ahead and got jiggy with it one more time on Thursday night at the 2015 Latin Grammy Awards, taking to the stage for a remix of his track “Fiesta.”

The 47-year old artist (Editor’s Note: Holy crap! Will Smith is 47 years old!) was joined on stage by the Colombian group Bomba Estereo for the fire-blazing routine, with Pinkett Smith and his oldest son Trey Smith cheered him on from the crowd.

Last month, Smith dropped a new song for the first time in a decade and said he plans to go on tour in 2016… with DJ Jazzy Jeff!

"I"ve been away doing some other stuff. Making kids and stuff. You know, it takes a little bit of your attention away," Smith said during Zane Lowe"s Beats 1 radio show on October 5.

"I"m at the beginning of this process. Shaking the rust off, knocking the dust off."

The dust looks pretty well knocked off to us. Check out this fun performance now.

Ariana Grande Gets (Sort Of) Assaulted on Stage

Remember when Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber teamed up for a weird video in which they tried to be funy in order to promote a bonus track on the latter"s new album?

That was awkward.

And so was this:

The 22-year old pop singer was in the middle of a concert on the Honda Stage at the iHeartRadio Theater in Burbank… when someone in the audience hurled a phone on stage.

As you can see here, no one was injured. And Grande handled it like a seasoned professional, even making a joke about the odd incident.

"Did someone throw a phone at me?" she asked. "Did someone just throw a phone on stage? That"s so dangerous. What if your screen cracked?"

It"s a good point and a good question, isn"t it?

Perhaps the fan just wanted Grande to snap a selfie and throw it back to him or her.

"Whose is this? Is this yours" Grande asked the crowd, holding the device. "Be careful. Take your phone back."

Perhaps Ariana has come a long way after she got into hot water for not handling the sight of a donut very well this summer, licking it and slamming America in the process.

During the concert, the artist – who sported a stitched mouth get-up for Halloween – also revealed that actor Jamie Foxx is the man behind the mystery voice in "Focus."

Watch the phone-hurling take place here and give Grande credit for just brushing it off.

(Note to fans attending future concerts for any singer or band: do not throw your phone on stage at any time. It"s just not a smart idea.)

One Direction Concludes Tour, Embraces on Stage

One Direction has sworn over and over and over that it is not breaking up.

Yes, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan announced an extended hiatus on the way in 2016, but multiple (handsome) band members have said the same thing.

It will just be a hiatus, they"ve insisted. They need a break. The future of One Direction remains bright.

That may still be the (cute) company line, but fans were given a new season to worry on Sunday night.

One Direction wrapped up its “On The Road” tour with a concert in Sheffield, England by embracing on stage, engaging in a group hug that left many wondering why there was so much emotion.

Could it be because Harry and company will never tour with each other ever again?

During the show Styles said he and his musical friend would never forget their fans who supported them for “five years, four months, two weeks and a couple of days.”

Horan, meanwhile, noted on stage: “I remember five years ago when this all started.”

In addition to thanking the supports, Horan told his three bandmates that he loved them. Which is very nice and sweet and everything… but which also feels like a permanent goodbye, doesn"t it?

He did add the following on Twitter, however:

“Thank you anyone who has come to watch us live over the last few years, it’s incredible to be able to play our music live for you.

"Don’t let the papers or online stuff tell you we’re not coming back. We are, I’m just going on a long holiday.”

One Direction, who recently took a shot at Taylor Swift, has a new album coming out on November 13.

But you"ll be hearing against from these boys for sure.

But will we ever see them on stage again? God, let"s hope so.

Justin Bieber Storms Off Stage on Norway

Justin Bieber walked away from a part of his schedule for the second time this week.

Only instead of leaving an awkward interview because the hosts acted like immature idiots, the singer left thousands of screaming fans in the dust.

As you can see in the video below, Bieber was getting set to open a concert in Oslo, Norway when someone spilled some water on stage.

Irritated, Bieber made an effort to clean up the liquid with a towel, acting extra annoyed when fans in the front row would not let him do so.

"Guys, what are you doing? Stop it… I’m trying to wipe the floor,” Bieber tells the crowd, only to finally grow exasperated and tell them:

“Nevermind. I’m done. I’m not doing the show.”

And, with that, he actually walked off stage.

He removed his hat, he took out his earpiece… and that really was that.

Soon after this footage hit the Internet, Bieber apologized and helped clarify the situation on Instagram, writing:

“Sadly it’s been a rough week for me, long days no sleep… In no way did I mean to come across mean, but chose to end the show as the people in the front row would not listen.”

The singer then went on, making similar statements as he"d made in the past about how he"s working to get better and how he isn"t perfect:

"I don’t always handle things the right way but I’m human and I’m working on getting better at responding not reacting.

"For the people in the back I am so sorry and for anyone I may have disappointed im sorry.

"Sorry for wasting the tv people’s time I’ll be sure to make it up to you next time on tour."

Watch the video below and then sound off: Isn"t it about time Justin stopped vowing to be a better person and simply acted like a better person?

Dancing with the Stars Recap: Who Will Exit Stage Left?

Dancing with the Stars returned for its sixth week of Season 20 on Monday, and the stakes were higher than ever for the remaining celebrities.

We know, we know. We use the term “celebrities” loosely, people.

But seriously folks. After a week of switched-up pro partners and no one sent home a week ago, it was officially crunch time on October 19.

Who stood out, and who’s heading out after all is said and done?

We will miss all the Paula Deen butt smacking on Dancing with the Stars, but alas, she was the one told to bag her bags and shuffle off on this night.

She seemed all but relieved that this experiment is finally over.

“I get to see my grandbabies!” Deen, the celebrity chef, said.

“I’ve been like a fish outta water for six weeks. It took them a long time to convince me to come do this. It was wonderful. It was worth it.”

All you can ask for, right? Right. Say hi to the grandbabies.

Check out the full list of Dancing with the Stars scores, on an installment when the contestants all chose “Famous Dances,” below …

• Andy Grammer and Allison Holker: 40/40 (Singing in the Rain, “Good Morning”)


• Bindi Irwin and Derek Hough: 40/40 (Dirty Dancing, “Time of My Life”)


• Nick Carter and Sharna Burgess: 39/40 (Saturday Night Fever)


• Carlos PenaVega and Witney Carson: 38/40 (Magic Mike, “Pony”)


• Hayes Grier and Emma Slater: 32/40 (Grease, “You’re the One That I Want”)


• Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold: 30/40 (Elvis, “Jailhouse Rock”)


• Alexa PenaVega and Mark Ballas: 30/40 (Britney Spears, “Slave 4 U”)


• Tamar Braxton and Val Chmerkovskiy: 27/40 (Janet Jackson, “Rhythm Nation”)


• Paula Deen and Louis van Amstel: 24/40 (Madonna, “Vogue”)

The cream of the crop will begin to rise to the top, as happens every year, but it’s still anyone’s game for the most part as we near the halfway point.

Who do you think will be ousted next? Who will win it all?

Liam Payne & Louis Tomlinson: Fighting on Stage! WATCH!

Following the departure of Zayn Malik, fans of 1D were hoping there would be no further strife within the band.

Unfortunately, footage from a concert in Manchester over the weekend had thousands of fans concerned that strife within the band could lead to the long-rumored breakup of One Direction.

As you can see, the video above appears to show Liam Payne offering some harsh words to his bandmate Louis Tomlinson before giving him a quick shove.

Fortunately, witnesses say Liam and Louis were just horsing around and the shove may have looked harsh, it"s just how the boys pass the time on stage.

We don"t blame them. They"ve gotta be sinck of hearing Harry belt out that solo.

Tyga Brings Kylie Jenner on Stage, Crowd Goes INSANE!

While he may not receive a ton of mainstream radio play, and he certainly doesn"t have many hits to his name, Tyga still manages to attract sell-out crowds. 

Of course, that may have something to do with the fact that his relationship with Kylie Jenner has catapulted him to the A-list.

So it makes sense that Tyga sometimes shows his gratitude (and gives the fans what they really want) by welcoming Kylie on stage during his shows.

Tyga brought Kylie out mid-song during a club performance in LA over the weekend, and the crowd proceeded to go so wild that they completely drowned out his rapping.

Seems like dude is well aware of what"s keeping him relevant – and he"s perfectly okay with it.

Justin Bieber Goes Wild on Stage, Chugs Hennessy

As we"ve seen before, Justin Bieber is very bad at shotgunning beer.

But that doesn"t mean the singer doesn"t know how to drink certain alcoholic beverages in a speedy manner.

In the footage featured here, we see Bieber on stage at a Rae Sremmurd show in New Zealand, chugging Hennessy straight out of the bottle and having a seriously wild time.

The artist, of course, has spent the past several months cleaning up his act, apologizing for past mistakes and trying to start fresh.

But Justin is 21. There"s no reason for him not to enjoy the occasional adult beverage.

And, hey, perhaps a drunk Justin Bieber means more a chance we"ll get more Justin Bieber underwear photos! We can hope, can"t we?

Taylor Swift Brought Leona Lewis And Mick Jagger On Stage This Weekend! See Both Duets HERE!

This is the best!

Taylor Swift was in Nashville over the weekend for the next stop on her 1989 World Tour, and just like she’s been doing for pretty much the entire tour, she brought out more celebrities to join in on the fun with her!

Video: Watch These X Factor Contestants Forget Taylor’s Lyrics!

This time around, it was a two-for-one deal — Taylor had one major super start come out for her Friday night show, and another one last night for her second performance! Not a bad situation if you bought a ticket in Nashville this weekend!!

It all started Friday night, when Mick Jagger came on stage to perform with Taylor (below):

And then it continued Saturday evening, when Leona Lewis joined T-Swift on stage for a Bleeding In Love duet!!!

So cool, and so interesting for Swift to pick these two artists at this point — who hasn’t she had a duet with on this tour by now?!

Actually, that’s a great question… who will join Tay-Tay on stage at her next tour stop??

Madonna Gets Frisky With Amy Schumer On Stage — Watch The Spanking, Grinding, & Voguing HERE!

Is anyone surprised?

If there’s one thing Madonna is known for besides her music, it’s that she can be quite risqué and scandalous and won’t hold anything back — which is EXACTLY why we love seeing her in concert!

Last night we were lucky enough to get to see The Material Girl in all her glory when she performed at Madison Square Garden as part of her Rebel Heart Tour!

Related: Madonna Gets Freaky With A Male Dancer!

Aside from the AH-Mazing performances and FABULOUS costumes the highlight came when Amy Schumer — who opened for Madonna — joined the Queen of Pop on stage for a song and things got a little naughty!

Miz Schumer came out and in classic Madonna fashion, the songstress bent the comedienne over and started slapping her ass and grinding up on it!

Get it, girls!

Ch-ch-check out the incredible moment we caught (below) and let us know if you’d let Madonna do the same thing to you!
