Is Willow Smith Crying Out for Attention?

One blogger shares my sentiments that singer Willow Smith is crying out for attention from her superstar parents.
Crushable.com is convinced that the 11-year-old’s bizarre outfits and nonconformist hairstyles are actually a desperate plea for attention.
While I give her major props for her unique fashion choices and her determination not to blend in with the crowd, I can’t help but wonder if this latest extreme outfit is actually a plea for her attention from her parents.
According to the Lucy Daniels Center, kids who cry out for attention usually suppress intense feelings of anxiety, depression, sadness and frustration.
Medical Minute: Tongue Cancer

There’s a small spot on your tongue that doesn’t seem to go away. You noticed it months ago but it’s painless so you didn’t get it checked out until you visited your dentist for a routine teeth cleaning.
The dentist examines the area and then performs a few diagnostic tests. He suspects that you might have oral cancer but you will need a biopsy to confirm his suspicions. Your dentist makes an appointment for you to see a cancer specialist.
Most of the time those tiny white or red spots in your mouth are harmless. But you will never know for sure unless you get regular dental checkups at least twice a year.
Someone dies from oral or tongue cancer every hour. Oral cancer accounts for about 9,000 deaths a year, according to the American Dental Association. Oral cancer has the worst 5-year survival rate of all cancers because it is rarely diagnosed early.

Chris Brown performing live on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ (Video)

Troubled singer Chris Brown performed “Turn Up The Music” live on ‘Dancing With The Stars’ Tuesday. The 23-year-old singer and dancer whose gaunt appearance has sparked drug rumors, tweeted the above pic of his ankles just before going on the show. Brown’s wasted ankles tell a story of neglect and abuse that doesn’t require words.
As you know, Brown’s ex-girlfriend, Rihanna, 24, was hospitalized Tuesday for severe dehydration. She tweeted a pic of herself receiving IV fluids. Both Rihanna and Chris are the subjects of rampant drug rumors. This does not bode well for their young fans who are highly impressionable. Hopefully they will get their acts together.
Watch the video after the break.
Rihanna hospitalized again?

Troubled singer Rihanna tweeted this pic on her Twitter account Tuesday night of an IV in her left arm. Last October, Rihanna was admitted to a Swedish hospital for an IV infusion after she collapsed following a drug binge. We thought she was doing so much better managing her substance and alcohol abuse.

Medical Minute: Cancer of the Esophagus

Have you ever attempted to swallow food and it feels like it’s stuck in your throat (or somewhere in your upper chest)? Panic slowly begins to rise as it seems like your throat is starting to close and you feel like you can’t breathe. You feel like you’re choking until you drink something to get the food moving again.
If you’ve ever had that choking experience with food — and it occurs quite often — you may have cancer of the esophagus.
Medical Minute: Prostate Cancer

People magazine broke the news last week that veteran actor Ryan O’Neal was diagnosed with prostate cancer. O’Neal, 70, who battled leukemia in the 1990s, told the magazine that his prostate cancer was a stage 4 — but that his doctor gave him a good prognosis.
Stage 4 cancer means the cancer has metastasized (or spread) elsewhere in the body. Stage 4 is the most difficult stage of cancer to treat, and the survival rate for Stage 4 cancer is usually very poor.
