Dancing with the Stars contestant-turned-host Brooke Burke-Charvet made headlines when she revealed that she had thyroid cancer. From her diagnosis to her surgery, the mother of four has been extremely upfront about her recent health scare.

“It’s something that you never think that you’re going to experience.” -Brooke Burke-Charvet

@katiecouric @brookeburke @katieshow being a cancer survivor myself this makes me feel so happy that she is doing so well.

Tonight, the 12th season of American Idol premieres on Fox, and there will be as much attention on the judges as the contestants. Randy Jackson is the only judge who is a true original – the only judge left from the original cast.

“We’re one big happy interesting modern family.” -Randy Jackson

I respect Randy Jackson 4 not offering up dirt in @katieshow interview. He knows the biz and the 1 who keeps his mouth shut keeps working!

Everyone remembers Frankie Muniz from the hit show Malcolm in the Middle. But recently, the actor found himself in the “middle” of a very scary situation. At just 26-years-old, he suffered a “mini-stroke.”

“At 26-years old you don’t think stroke…you don’t think anything serious.” -Frankie Muniz

Since suffering a mini-stroke just two months ago, Frankie Muniz has a completely new lease on life. He tells us what he has been up to since Malcolm in the Middle ended.

“It’s cool to be doing exactly what I hoped to do when I was 12.” -Frankie Muniz

@katiecouric I am in total agreement with you on your comment to Frankie Muniz:”Get married first then have a baby”.
