“Johnny was ultimately diagnosed with a rare brain cancer, with which—despite a period of remission—he still battles today,” the summary continued. “But in a strange way Johnny thinks the cancer actually saved his life.”

After his cancer returned in 2020, he continued documenting his health journey on social media, including photos from his chemotherapy appointments.

“After an unexpected week of seizures and excruciating headaches,” Ruffo wrote on Instagram in November 2020, “it is with a heavy heart that i have to let you know i now have another huge battle ahead of me as my brain cancer has returned, though i will dig deep and beat this s–t disease again.” 

In another post, the singer promised to “smash this chemo,” writing to fans, “Thank you so much for all the support, You guys have helped keep my spirits high and you keep me fighting.”

Taylor Ann Green has a case of puppy love.

The Southern Charm star shocked her cast members on the Bravo series’ Nov. 9 episode when she was caught in bed with her ex Shep Rose after spending the night in his room during a cabin getaway.

After finding her friends sleeping together, Olivia Flowers immediately reported the gossip to Craig Conover and Austen Krolll, telling them, “Taylor’s in Shep’s room!”

Austen responded with a laugh, “Shep and Taylor banged!”

Back in Shep’s room, Taylor told her former boyfriend his coughing disrupted her sleep as she cuddled his dog Little Craig and noted, “Craig’s snore doesn’t bother me.”

And while it wasn’t clear if the two actually hooked up the night before, Taylor used his pooch as an excuse. When Shep asked his ex, “So you came in here just for Craig?” to which she confirmed, “Yeah, I did.”

However, Shep then hinted their night together was more than just a puppy party. “Well, did you get what you needed?” he asked the 29-year-old. “Miss kissing bandit last night.”

Keke Palmer is taking legal action for custody of her baby boy.

The Nope star has requested full legal and physical custody of her and Darius Jackson‘s 8-month-old son Leodis Andrellton Jackson, according to court documents obtained by NBC News.

In addition, Keke petitioned the court to for Darius to pay for his own attorney, though she elected to front the costs for the “reasonable expenses of pregnancy and birth,” per the outlet. She also noted the legal papers that the court “may make orders” for child support and “issue an earnings assignment without further notice to either party.”

The filing comes almost three months after reports that the couple, who began dating in 2021, broke up following online comments Darius made seemed to shame Keke’s revealing clothes.

In early July, Darius—the brother of Insecure star Sarunas Jackson—called out the True Jackson, VP alum for wearing a short bodysuit underneath a see-through dress at an Usher concert. “It’s the outfit tho.. you a mom,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, before adding in a separate post, “We live in a generation where a man of the family doesn’t want the wife & mother to his kids to showcase booty cheeks to please others & he gets told how much of a hater he is.” 

 

Status: Split

Fans were a little stunned when Cassie Randolph chose to leave Colton’s season of The Bachelor. So Colton stunned right back by jumping a fence and running away before breaking it off with the other two remaining women and going after Cassie anyway.

Cassie and Colton didn’t get engaged but remained a couple until calling it quits in May 2020. In September, Cassie took legal action against Colton and was granted a temporary restraining order against him. In the documents obtained by E! News, Cassie claimed that Colton “has been stalking and harassing Ms. Randolph. He has sent her unsettling text messages, repeatedly called her, and placed a tracking device on her vehicle to track her whereabouts.” The restraining order was later extended until that November, when she dropped her petition.

“I think that was sort of a huge wake-up call,” Colton told Us Weekly of that tumultuous time. “I’m sad that it even got to that point to where that had to be my wake-up call and me affecting other people in my life was sort of the moment that I realized I had to come out.”

In April 2021, the former Bachelor lead came out as gay, noting on Good Morning America, “I’ve ran from myself for a long time, I’ve hated myself for a long time. I’m gay and I came to terms with that earlier this year and have been processing it.”

In May 2023, he married partner Jordan C. Brown.

And although the reality star is thankful for those who have her best interest at heart, she isn’t so keen on listening to the outside chatter.

“It’s hard when people talk about it without me being involved or say it in a certain way that is a mean tone,” she continued. “I always feel like that is unnecessary, but I’m always appreciative of the support.”

As for how the 38-year-old handles the negative comments?

“I’ve learned it’s best to just do your thing,” Whitney explained, “make sure that you’re taking care of yourself and not pay attention to all the comments because that whole narrative, the more you get involved, the more that it spirals and becomes bigger than it has to be. So, quieting the noise on there helps quiet the noise in your own brain.”

The With Whit podcast host, who has also been vocal about her struggles with depression in the past, shed light on where some of those hard times stemmed from.

“I lost my dad 10 years ago and my life totally changed,” Whitney recalled, “and my perspective on things totally changed and that definitely made me a more anxious person that had a gray tint on things that was slightly depressed.”

Yet, the star tries to steer clear of labeling herself, noting, “I think that just making sure that you are doing the things to bring yourself happiness and joy each day and that, those times will happen. S–t happens, life happens. We’re all going to deal with tough stuff, but learning the tools to get out of them is the most important thing.”

Looks like Travis Barker is celebrating his son’s arrival with a little rock show.

The Blink-182 drummer proved he’s already bonding with his son Rocky Thirteen through music, sharing a video of himself striking a drum pad during a doctor’s appointment. In the caption, Travis noted that he was “practicing to my babies heartbeat.” 

The musician—wearing a skeleton outfit—quickly tapped the instrument with his drum sticks, as the heartbeat of his and Kourtney Kardashian‘s baby boy played in the background perfectly in rhythm.

As one fan put it, “Now that’s an entrance.”

Meanwhile, another user shared their prediction the musical future of Travis and the Kardashian star’s son. “It’s going to be a beat of a song,” the user wrote, “guarantee.”

While it’s unclear when the clip was filmed, Travis posted the sweet moment to TikTok Nov. 9, days after news broke that he and Kourtney, 44, welcomed their baby boy. 

The actress continued, “It’s like that thing when you feel vulnerable or on display for saying something, or talking too much or whatever. Saying something about yourself and then feeling like, ​’Oh no, I shouldn’t be talking about myself. I should be asking about you, because that’s the thing I should be doing and it’s not that interesting. We don’t need to talk about me, don’t worry. I’ll handle it.'”

So, it’s safe to say that she’ll be keeping mum on her thoughts about Harry’s new look.

Giving a nod to Alix’s Hot Mess podcast, Braxton explained that he will “be the one behind the camera this week.”

“Buckle up,” he shared as he and Alix boarded a private jet. “This is the flight, again, I have no idea where we’re going, and I am just now about to find out.”

Braxton and the social media star touched down in the Bahamas, and the wide receiver noted, “It’s absolutely gorgeous here.”

Giving a kiss to Alix for “all her effort,” the 22-year-old chimed in, “Because I’m the best.”

And Braxton couldn’t help but agree.

“The villa is incredible—she did such a good job,” he gushed. “This is going to be a blast. Right in front or behind our house is the beach.”

Before ending the vlog, Braxton hilariously told followers that he had already been attacked by a bird, which garnered a laugh from Alix.

Ryan Reynolds put in maximum effort to help one of his Wrexham A.F.C. players through a difficult chapter.

The Deadpool star and co-owner of the Welsh soccer team went above the call of duty when midfielder Anthony Forde‘s wife, Laura, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. As Anthony explained on the Nov. 7 episode of Welcome to Wrexham, Ryan quickly reached out to him to offer support when he had to step back from his training to care for Laura and their 9-month-old son Paddy.

“Ryan helped get a second opinion,” Anthony recalled. “It’s something that he didn’t have to do.”

That second opinion ended up being a turning point in Laura’s health battle, according to the athlete, as the latest results showed that there was hope for recovery. 

“It’s gone from the worst news possible to the best news possible in a space of a few weeks,” Laura shared on the FX show. “Obviously, it’s amazing.”

After his passing, Perry’s Fools Rush In costar Salma Hayek noted it took a “couple of days to process this profound sadness.”

“There is a special bond that happens when you share dreams with someone, and together you work towards them,” she wrote in an Oct. 30 Instagram post. “I was very moved last year when Matthew shared on his Instagram stories how much he loved ‘Fools Rush In,’ and how he thought that that film we did together was probably his best movie.”

 

“Throughout the years, he and I found ourselves reminiscing about that meaningful time in our lives with a deep sense of nostalgia and gratitude,” she continued. “My friend, you are gone much too soon, but I will continue to cherish your silliness, your perseverance, and your lovely heart. Farewell, sweet Matthew, we will never forget you.”
