      #18- Diane. what a motherfucker! seriously. how dare you say that about somebody in this situation? you obviously have never seen her on good morning america! fuck that you stupid bitch!

      I watch GMA every morning, and saw her make this announcement - she was visibly shaken, but strong and poised in explaining her situation. I hope she gets well soon, and hope others see this as an example of how much easier it is to survive this disease when it is found early on.

      And to eve, ROSANGELA BABY, and Diane: I know this is PerezHilton.com and, therefore, a certain amount of bashing, insulting, and rudeness is expected, but I would have hoped that Perez's readers and fans would realize that there is a time and a place for such "humor" and THIS is NOT one of those times. If/When something like this striked YOU at home, whether its your family, friend, or some other loved one, I hope someone tells them they are ugly, they have no chest, and that they should just shut up because EVERYONE seems to be getting an illness. Educate yourself, get your head out of your ignorant ass, and become a civilized human being. Thank you.

      Wow, there are some incredibly pathetic, disgusting, immature people that comment on these blogs. Please grow up and get a fucking life losers.

      Wow, I am typing through tears here….I could not be sadder to hear the awful news about this classy and oh so talented woman. I am in awe of all the hard work she has done on behalf of her native La. after the devastating hurricane katerina…..
      She has focused so much of her energies and time to help communities that are still reeling.
      I will say my prayers for this beautiful woman and I know that millions will as well.
      God Bless Robin and beat the hell out of Cancer…..

      Sisters,
      This could be any one of us. Breast Cancer is NO JOKE.

      This lady has always carried her self with dignity and class. I wish her the best. I will pray for her.

      All of us - if you have BREAST then you need to know that this can be you too.

      And for those queens out there - you know who you are men also get breast cancer!

      #10 Eve and #18 Diane - You two are moronic imbeciles. Go bash Brittney or Lindsay - your rude and totally unappropriate comments are not welcome here.

      Get Well Soon Robin!

      Perfectly said #27 - Kenya.

      This is more common in women in that do not have children, thus the increased rate in lesbian women…look up the mautnerproject.com
