Shannen Doherty Opens Up About Horrors of Chemotherapy

Shannen Doherty is facing the biggest challenge of her life.


The former Beverly Hills, 90210 star was diagnosed with breast cancer several months and has been keeping fans apprised of her progress.



Sadly, it isn’t going very well.


Earlier this week, for example, Doherty shared the tragic news that the cancer has spread.


Now, in an Instagram post written on Thursday, Doherty has gone into detail about the horrors of undergoing chemotherapy.


It’s unfortunately a feeling and an experience to which millions can relate.


“Each person’s cancer journey is different. For me, chemo has been terrible and believe me, we have tried almost everything,” the 45-year old wrote alongside a photo of herself in bed alongside her beloved dog Bowie.


She added:


“So days like this have become a bit of the norm. I’m learning that it’s ok to fall into bed and give in to the exhaustion or nausea or aches.”


Thank goodness she has a four-legged friend she can lean on at least.



After thanking her 422,000 followers for their ongoing support throughout this health battle, Doherty gave a mention to her precious pooch for remaining by her side as she battles to beat this illness.


“Btw, it doesn’t hurt to have #msbowie comfort me. So back to my nap,” she wrote.


“Thank you for your prayers, well wishes and stories. They help so much.”


During an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday, Doherty said she thinks her canine was the first to sense that she had cancer.


Dogs really have been known to have this ability.


“She would obsessively sniff right here on my right side for a long time before,” Doherty shared. “So it made sense when I got diagnosed.



The actress discovered she had breast cancer in February 2015.


She shaved her head just a couple weeks ago.


After her eight rounds of chemotherapy are complete, Doherty is planning to start radiation treatments.


It’s difficult, but Doherty is trying to stay positive.


“[My husband and I] were at this Italian restaurant in Brooklyn, and I looked at him and I said, ‘You better enjoy every single second that you have with me … ’cause I’m going to be dead in five years,"” she told ET.


“He burst out crying and was like, ‘You can’t say that."”


“That phase was short, thank God. That was a short, short phase that I think my family and friends got me through.”



We send our love and best wishes to Shannen Doherty.


We can’t fathom what she is going through, but we know other celebrities have beaten cancer.


To wit:

Big Brother Spoilers: HOH, Nominations & Care Package Winner

CBS really doesn’t give much away in their edits for Big Brother. 


They want everyone to sign up for CBS All Access, rather than waiting days to find out what happened in the house.


That’s probably why Big Brother Season 19 is airing exclusively on the online service. 




BB18 HOH 7



After the show ended on Thursday night, the battle for HOH raged on. 


It came down to Victor and Natalie. Natalie was ecstatic at the prospect of winning something and held on for dear life. 


She tried to get Victor to throw it to her, but his allegiance to his all-male alliance had him refusing her plea. 


In the end, Natalie had to give up because she was about to vomit. 


Victor promised he wouldn’t target her for eviction. She took the deal, but would he really keep her off the chopping block?


Later that night, Paulie pulled Victor aside and made it clear they would be targeting Zakiyah for eviction. 


Victor got on board with this because it would signal one less female in the house. 


If you recall, Zakiyah is Paulie’s love interest, but maybe he’s targeting her in order to let his alliance know he wouldn’t be put down by having a showmance. 



Victor nominated Michelle and Zakiyah for eviction.


After the nomination ceremony, Paulie had a change of heart and told his alliance members that they should target Michelle. 


It’s becoming increasingly apparent that Paulie is going to win the game if they don’t try get him out soon. 


One of the women needs to win HOH next week and end his reign of terror on the house. 


Maybe they should have let Frank stay. He for sure would have went after him. 


Michelle pretty much sobbed the whole day at the prospect of leaving the game. 


Her only hope is to win the veto. She’s done that before and I believe she could do it again. 



Bridgette and Natalie have been thrown out as replacement nominees. 


Expect Bridgette to go up if anything changes. 


Poor Bridgette. She’s destined to be on that block every single week. 


The results of the care package winner was revealed. 


If you recall, it gives the winner the opportunity to stop two people from having the power to vote in Thursday night’s eviction. 



James won the care package.


This will no doubt put a target on both him and Natalie. 


Natalie won it last week, so it shows that America are rooting for that particular showmance. 


Might the house decide to take Natalie out instead?


We’ll have to see what happens at the veto!


What do you think of the latest developments inside the house?


Who do you want to leave this week?

Lindsay Lohan: In Denial As Friends Urge Her to Leave Abusive Fiance?

Earlier today, video of a physical altercation between Lindsay Lohan and her fiance, Egor Tarabasov, was leaked online, drawing astonished reactions from fans.




The footage, which many have described as highly disturbing, is being taken by some as definitive evidence that Lindsay was desperately crying out for help when she described herself as a “victim of domestic violence” early on in her relationship with Tarabasov.


The accusatory post was quickly deleted, but it was only the beginning of Lindsay’s very public relationship troubles.


Red flags have been appearing for months, and last week, family and friends became deeply concerned when Lindsay accused Egor of cheating during a bizarre, late-night social media rant.


“Lindsay is trying to make this seem okay and it is just not okay,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.


“Her family and friends think that she is in danger now and she cannot hide it anymore.”



The insider adds that Lohan’s inner circle is concerned, as despite the fact that she’s made a number of shocking accusations against Tarabasov, she always ends up going back to him.


“It seems like there is nothing that anyone can do,” says the source.


“Lindsay cut herself off from all of her network of people and she has become Egor’s puppet,” the pal said, adding, “Lindsay said that she does not want to live without him!”


“No one knows what to do because she seems out of her mind right now.”


Sadly, it’s a cycle that’s familiar to many who have loved ones who have been victims of abuse.


“Many of Lindsay’s close friends hate him and have been begging her to leave him for good,” said the source.


“Lindsay flipped out on everyone and said that no one wants to see her happy.”



Lohan’s father, Michael Lohan, is particularly angry and has stated that he would relish the opportunity to give Tarabasov a taste of his own medicine:


“I welcome the opportunity for him to sit down with me face to face,” Michael said.


“I’d give him the opportunity to slap me, so I would have a reason to man-handle him like he did Lindsay.”


He added, “He isn’t worth going to jail for.”


Michael previously praised Egor and stated that he believed Tarabasov and his family had the power to “save Lindsay’s career.”


Even after several indications that Lindsay’s relationship was with Egor was unhealthy, Michael expressed his excitement over the possibility that his daughter was carrying Tarabasov’s child:



As for Lindsay throwing Egor’s phone, Michael says the 22-year-old Russian real estate 


Lohan has yet to respond to the controversy over the footage that was released today.


Tellingly, the 30-year-old actress made her Instagram page private shortly after the video appeared online.


We’ll have further updates on this story as more information becomes available.

Calvin Harris "Ole" Video: Taylor Swift Shade-Fest Continues!

Calvin Harris has pretty much been going ham since he and Taylor Swift broke up, and his new video for "Ole" certainly fits that pattern.


Besides Harris epic" rant against Swift, he"s been passing the time hanging out on boats with hot chicks and generally loving life lately.


Oh, and he recorded the ultimate Taylor diss track.



At least that"s what we believed "Ole" was going to be – an epic parting shot at Swift cheating with Tom Hiddleston, her beau du jour.


Well, now that the music video just dropped, it isn"t quite the kiss-off breakup anthem we were envisioning, at least not on the surface.


There is still shade to be seen here, however.


Josh Newman, the singer and performer whose track Harris produced, is featured in the video along with a girl on the rocks by the beach.



While the video takes place in Los Cabos, Mexico (hence the title) and Taylor Swift"s beach house in Rhode Island, the parallels are clear.


The rocks by her Watch Hill mansion, of course, are where her Taylor"s relationship with Tom was first documented by the paparazzi.


Ah, memories. Feels like it was yesterday.


The squad chilling in chairs outside, meanwhile, conjure up images of those hilariously staged photos from TS" July bash in the Ocean State.



And, of course, there is the lyrical content.


Written from Hiddleston"s – or Newman"s – point of view, the new track makes apparent references to the actor"s Thor character, Loki:


"Low key … you won"t tell none of your friends about me."


The Taylor-centric lyrics continue, "You"ve hidden my name in your phone so you can call me to tell me you"ve been going through hell."


"Left him alone and you booked in a hotel."


Newman croons, as the breezy video progresses, "I see online that you begun to be a good girl and take trips with your boyfriend." 


"Being attentive, continue to pretend …" 


Pretty great. Actually a little more subtle than we thought it would be when excerpts started to leak out, but pretty great just the same.


Harris has always believed that one"s professional and personal lives are closely intertwined when it comes to Taylor. Oh how true this is.


Who would"ve thought he"d come out with a song first, though? Gotta hand it to the DJ on this one. Check out the "Ole" video below:
