Angelina Jolie's decision to have a preventative double mastectomy in February probably wasn't the easiest decision (we're sure it was as difficult as they come), but it was the right decision as Angelina revealed she had an 87% chance of getting breast cancer due to a genetic predisposition.
It's true that she kept it quiet, but we're positive she had the support of those closest to her! Now, we're hearing about all the support from her peers now that she's spoken publicly about what she's had to go through!
Here's some of what the celebs are saying on Twitter!
Mindy McCready appeared on VH1's Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2009, and after being the fifth person to pass after starring in the show, a source close to Dr. Drew Pinksy is stating that the doc did everything he could to help the country star.
Mindy McCready committed suicide on Sunday with a self-inflicted gunshot, and after learning that prescription drugs and alcohol were found in her system at the time of her death — she's also the fifth person to pass that appeared on VH1's Celebrity Rehab within the last two years.
Oh man!
The show ran from 2008 to 2011, and had a total a five seasons.
Referencing McCready's death, the show's former host, Dr. Drew Pinksy said:
Lisa Lampanelli has been struggling with food addiction for 32 years now, and even though she knows she has a serious issue and likes to joke about it on account of being a comedian — she does not take negative comments lightly.
The insult comic wrote about her issue with men and food last week on xoJane, and despite the fact that she thought she was making a breakthrough, people just started hatin' on her like CRAZY!
And now, to clear up what the heck she really meant, she responded to her reader's comments:
Dr. Drew Pinsky might be in huge trouble if it can be proved that he was paid to talk up Wellbutrin and its antidepressant effects!
Did they slip him a hundo (short for hundred dollar bill) before he gave talks on his radio show??
Nope, try $275,000 (allegedly).
All of this came about during the justice department's case against drug company GlaxoSmithKline, which has agreed to plead guilty to misdemeanor criminal charges and pay $3 billion for committing healthcare fraud.
Which is the largest fraud settlement like that in U.S. history.
Back in 1999, Dr. Drew allegedly was paid the money over two months in “settings where it did not appear that [he] was speaking for GSK.”
Whoops!
Maybe people shouldn't do shady things like this — then they wouldn't get into trouble down the road!
Not only is the retired actress fresh off another mean spirited Twitter-based rant directed at InTouch magazine (and us!) about pictures they claim to have showing the former child star partying hAArd, NOW we hear she recently displayed some DIVA behavior while attempting to board a private jet in New Jersey!
You may recall Amanda does NOT have her driver's license because it was suspended during all her hit and run dramz, thus when the jet's pilot was checking the passengers' IDs and found that Amanda did NOT have one, he refused to allow her on the plane...
And according to sources, girl flipped out, screamed "I'm Amanda Bynes!" and tried to use GOOGLE as a substitute for identification verification!
The pilot apparently called his parent company to see if he could make an exception for the pierced-cheek cherub, but because TSA regulations require all plane passengers to carry ID, his hands were tied.
Celebs may be exempt from MANY of the rules regular peeps have to live by, but we always can count on the TSA to treat everyone like sheep equals, LOLz!
