Angela "Big Ang" Raiola Talks Cancer Treatment, Reveals Chances of Survival

Back in April of 2015, Mob Wives star Angela Raiola was diagnosed with throat cancer.


That same month, she underwent surgery, and the tumor was successfully removed


"Big Ang," as she"s known to fans, announced online that she was in complete remission, and she even scheduled a public appearance tour to celebrate.


Sadly, just last month Raiola learned that her cancer had returned in a particularly aggressive form.


In a public statement, Raiola"s family revealed that the popular reality TV star is now fighting stage 4 cancer, and doctors have advised that she prepare for the worst. 


“Chemotherapy was started January 5," said Ang"s sister, Janice Detore.


"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.”


Today, Ang appeared on The Dr. Oz Show for her first interview since learning that the cancer had returned.


She revealed that doctors have given her a 30 percent chance of survival, and that she"s parted ways with her husband of six years, Neil Murphy, after he failed to "step up" during her treatment.


Watch Big Ang talk about her illness and her decision to go it alone in the clip below:

Kailyn Lowry Shares Good News: Javi Marroquin to Return From Deployment Ahead of Schedule!

It’s only been a few weeks since Javi Marroquin was deployed for a year of overseas duty with the US Air Force, but it seems that Kailyn Lowry has already received word that her husband will be returning home much sooner than expected.



It was initially reported that Javi would be out of the country (in an undisclosed location) for at least a year, but now it seems he’ll be returning sometime in either September or October – and Kailyn is planning to welcome him back in style.


Earlier this week, the 23-year-old mother of two shared a photo of a reservation at a Disney World resort.


Now, Radar Online is reporting that the trip will serve as a welcome home to Javi


“It’s for when Javi comes home,” a source tells the website. “He comes home way before they go.”


“It’s hard for Kail, but I wouldn’t say she’s sad. They’ve been through this before. It doesn’t make it any easier on her, but she understands this is part of his job and how he provides for their family.”


As recently as last month, it was widely rumored that Kailyn and Javi planned to breakup when he deployed, but now seems clear the couple is still going strong.


Stable, happy Teen Mom couples are certainly a welcome change of pace.

Grammy Awards Playback: A Night to Remember!

The biggest night in music has come, gone and left certain songs stuck in our head.



Which acts stood out from the rest? Who may want to fire his or her stylist? Has the world yet recovered from a subpar Adele performance?



It’s time to relive the 2016 Grammy Awards, readers!


The night, of course, belonged to Taylor Swift, with the most beloved solo artist on the planet opening the event with a rendition of “Out of the Woods” and then sticking it to Kanye West upon winning Album of the Year:



But Kendrick Lamar and Lady Gaga both knocked Swift off the viral front page for a few moments at least, thanks to two of the most memorable performances we’ll see this year:



Not everyone loved Gaga’s tribute to David Bowie, however, including Bowie’s own son. Awkward!


Not everyone loved Swift, either, most notably Tori Kelly.


Just consider the reaction of this budding star when watching Swift accept the night’s final trophy:



Who are we kidding overall, however?


Forget the music. Forget the awards themselves. Forget the major cases of side eye.


What do these types of ceremonies always come down to? THE FASHION!


Who dressed best, worst and somewhere in between? Compare, contrast and decide below:
