Giuliana Rancic Has Breast Cancer

When Giuliana Rancic sat down with Ann Curry this morning on the Today Show, we expected her to reveal that the IVF had worked and that she was indeed pregnant as she had always hoped. Unfortunately, Giuliana revealed to everyone that the IVF procedure had uncovered that she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The E! television host is married to first season apprentice winner Bill Rancic. The couple also have a popularity reality series on the Style Network called Giuliana and Bill, which follows them as they juggle both their home life, careers, and attempting to get pregnant. In the season finale, Giuliana and Bill made a third attempt to use IVF in Denver, Colorado after previously not succeeding with IVF the first time and suffering a miscarriage the second try.

Giuliana will undergo surgery later on this week followed by six weeks of radiation, but she still has high hopes in getting pregnant after all of this is over.

Bryant Gumbel and Katie Couric Try to Make Sense of the Internet…in 1994

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9nTPX4JW_Ts&feature=player_embedded]

It’s hard to imagine that we couldn’t fully understand the internet back in 1994. It was just 17 years ago, but yet the internet feels like it has been a part of our lives forever. What did people do in 1994?!

How exactly would YOU explain the internet to someone. My response would probably be to just “Google” it. Simple as that.

Mother Knows Best?

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ0-utckUyg]

Colby Brin is a 31-year old single who believes that mother knows best when it comes to steering his love life in the right direction. His mother, Geri Brin feels that by helping out her son and launching a website for the cause that she is “casting a wider net.” Maybe she is, maybe she isn’t. I believe in the saying, “Two heads are better than one,” but what would you say if you were the girl who later found out that you were chosen by your guy’s mother?

This story reminds me of the Diane Keaton movie “Because I Said So,” and that was a god-awful movie because Mandy Moore should have stopped acting after “A Walk to Remember.” In that movie, Mandy’s character is “Milly” who is a quirky and awkward girl in a not-so-cute way. She’s the one that needs to have her foot permanently shoved into her mouth. When Milly’s mother Diane Keaton finds out about her horrible track record of dates, she decides to put up an ad for her daughter, which causes a whirlwind of drama later on.

Back to this story though, Colby seems like a decent-looking guy and I’m sure he could get by without his mother. I wonder what’s going to happen to him now that he has a website for this and him and his mother were on The Today Show? Reality matchmaking without the drama in a whole season.

Would you ever let your parents pick someone out for you?

Memorable Quotes of the Decade

I came across this post today that featured the most famous quotes (phrases, whatever) in pop culture of the decade that we will never ever forget. So I wanted to share my favorite ten with you from the list.

1.

“Yo, Taylor. I’m really happy for you, Imma let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time. One of the best videos of all time!” – Kanye West really stepped in it when he stole the mic from singer Taylor Swift as she accepts the “Best Female Video” award during the MTV Video Music Awards (2009)

I can’t get enough of this. It is too cute and much more fun than the usual stuffy wedding entrances that I’ve seen.
