Michael Douglas says oral sex caused his throat cancer
Actor Michael Douglas says oral sex is the reason behind his stage 4 throat cancer.
In an interview with Britain’s The Guardian, Douglas discussed his role in the Liberace biopic “Behind the Candelabra” and his throat cancer which was diagnosed in August 2010.
Douglas said doctors missed the walnut-sized tumor at the back of his tongue after he suffered with throat irritation for months. Douglas finally went to see a friend’s doctor in Montreal who used a tongue depressor to look inside his mouth.
“”I will always remember the look on his face,” Douglas said previously. “He said: ‘We need a biopsy.’ There was a walnut-size tumour at the base of my tongue that no other doctor had seen,” said Douglas.
Angelina Jolie Had Both Breasts Removed to Prevent Cancer
Angelina Jolie has had both of her breasts removed as a proactive measure to prevent breast cancer.
The 37-year-old actress made the announcement in an op-ed piece she wrote exclusively for today’s New York Times.
The Oscar-winning actress, who is in a long term relationship with actor Brad Pitt, said she underwent the double mastectomy after doctors found a gene that makes the probability of her developing breast cancer very high.
She said she made the choice with thoughts of her six children after watching her own mother, actress Marcheline Bertrand, die at a young age from cancer.
Quoting her 6 children, Jolie writes, “They have asked if the same could happen to me.”
Your 15-year-old daughter will soon be able to purchase the morning after pill over the counter
5.8 million women have already availed themselves of the so-called “morning after pill” — and pretty soon, your 15-year-old daughters can too.
On Tuesday the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the sale of Plan B, the morning-after pill to girls as young as 15, without a prescription, and without parental permission. The Plan B pills will be available at your neighborhood pharmacy for sale over the counter.
According to the Washington Post, a U.S. District judge ordered the pill to be made available to all women. The Obama administration was given until May 5 to file an appeal. The FDA approved the sale of the pill to 15-year-olds as a compromise — since girls even younger than 15 are having sex without protection.

Now Lil Wayne Claims He’s Epileptic
Rapper Lil Wayne is attempting to deflect rumors of his alleged drug use by claiming to be an epileptic. Epilepsy can be an acute (new) or chronic (longstanding) disruption of signals in the brain that results in controlled or uncontrolled convulsions (seizure activity).
In an interview with LA’s Power 106 on Thursday, Wayne, 30, said epilepsy is the reason behind his multiple hospitalizations — not his reported addiction to Promethazine/Codeine prescription cough syrup (aka Sizzurp or Purple Drank), which can also cause epileptic seizures.
Promethazine/Codeine is not prescribed for epilepsy.
