Now this is the way to spend an eight-month anniversary of your bone marrow transplant victory — a standing ovation while accepting an award on behalf of your ABC program at the 72nd annual George Foster Peabody Awards at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City!

Such a beautiful moment for Robin Roberts!

When she took the stage to accept the award, she said this:

Kevin Durant has just gone from a basketball icon to a full-on hero in Oklahoma!

The NBA superstar has reportedly donated $1 million dollars to the Red Cross hurricane relief efforts after the city of Moore was struck by a devastating tornado on Monday.

Kevin has taken to Twitter to support the victims of the horrible events and urged his followers to give what they can, saying:

Justin Bieber is back to being his old charming, kind, generous self!

Hmm… Could this be Selena Gomez's good influence taking hold again..?

This is so sad!

Zach Sobiech was just a normal 14-year-old teenager living in Minnesota when his doctors diagnosed him with osteosarcoma - a rare form of bone cancer.

After a long fight with the cancer, doctors told Zach he only had a few months to live. Zach turned to music and recorded a song called Clouds, a song about dealing with death, which has since gone viral and has been viewed by over three million fans!

So it is with a heavy heart that we bear the sad news that Zach passed away on Monday morning. He was 18 years old.

Mike Shultz has been in the X Games 11 times, but he has a special place in his heart for the lab! He has NO mechanical training and NO engineering background, but he has more motivation that anyone else! You see, he lost his left leg above the knee in December 2008 snowmobiling accident.

Here's what he said:

We're glad Catherine Zeta-Jones isn't riding it out… and has taken it upon herself to be very proactive with her diagnosis!

We're happy to hear that she has returned home after another round of treatment for the mental affliction!

Galas aren't just for actors and musicians! They're for athletes too!!

Last night marked the 28th annual Sports Spectacular Gala held in Century City, California, and some of the BIGGEST names in sports came out to play!

The night featured a memorial for the late Los Angeles Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss as well as an award ceremony for athletes such as US soccer superstar Hope Solo and Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul!

But the real guest of honor was none other than Jason Collins, who earned the title of Inspirational Athlete of the year for his decision to become the first active player to come out as openly gay in a major U.S. sport!
