Angelina Jolie is NOT going to let a little thing like surgery keep her down!

The actress/director's strength has definitely not been in doubt lately after she revealed she had a double mastectomy and plans to have her ovaries removed to reduce her risk of cancer! But an article posted by her surgeon gives us even MORE of a reason to be inspired by Angie!

Dr. Kristi Funk of the Pink Lotus Breast Center released a detailed account of her medical journey in hopes of raising awareness for other women who might find themselves in a similar position, and there's one big detail that sticks out. Angelina was planning work on her next project just FOUR days after being under the knife!

We're just glad he's okay for now!!

Yesterday, we were super sad to hear that Ron Jeremy was in the ICU for a heart aneurysm. Mind blowingly, he was able to drive himself to get help after having sever chest pains… but it only got worse from there.

Now we're hearing he's in recovery!!

Here's what the medical team has to say:

"[He is] now resting with complete privacy and no visitors. Everyone on Ron's team has expressed well wishes and a speedy recovery!"

Awwww yeah!

We're SO HAPPY to hear everything went smoothly!

We just hope they fixed whatever was wrong — he's not out of the woods until we hear he's being released… and there's no word on that yet!

Feel better soon, Ron!!

Caleb Moore is a snowmobile star and was competing at this year's Winter X Games.

He is a big name in the pro snowmobile game so it was a big deal when he spectacularly mistimed a big air backflip and landed his 450-pound snowmobile on top of himself!
