Stanley Tucci Reveals He 'Had A Feeding Tube For Six Months' While Battling Oral Cancer

Stanley Tucci opened up about his "terrifying" oral cancer diagnosis on Sunday Sitdown with Willie Geist over the weekend. The Citadel actor was diagnosed in 2017, after losing his wife, Kate Spath-Tucci, to breast cancer in 2009.

Tucci said he and his late wife "traveled all over the world trying to find a cure for her" before she passed away. "So when I got it, I was completely shocked," he said. "I was terrified, absolutely terrified."

The Devil Wears Prada star had a tumor at the base of his tongue that "was too big to operate," so he received "high-dose radiation and chemo." Tucci shared that he "lost 35 pounds" as a result of the treatment. "I couldn't eat. I had a feeding tube for six months and everything tasted like you-know-what and smelled like you-know-what. And it took months and months and months for me to finally be able to eat again and then taste properly again."

The Lovely Bones actor added that he's grateful for the support he received from his wife, Felicity Blunt, and his sister-in-law, Emily Blunt. "I was so afraid, but Felicity was very insistent," he said. "I mean that had to drag me, kicking and screaming, but now, I wouldn't be around if I hadn't done that treatment."

The Clerks director spent a month at Arizona's Sierra Tucson treatment center, where he received therapy centered on traumatic incidents from his childhood.

Smith explained that he previously coped with these experiences by hiding behind a "larger than life" public persona. "It was scary," he said.

The Jay and Silent Bob star recalled a traumatic incident that occurred when he was six years old, during which an older boy that he didn't know forced him to engage sexually with a six-year-old girl. "Luckily some adult did walk past the alley and was like, ‘What's going on?'" he said.

"I've told the story in my life to other people, but always presented it as, ‘Oh, I played doctor when I was a kid,'" Smith said, adding that his therapist at the Arizona treatment center identified the incident as sexual abuse. "She goes, ‘Doctor is "I'll show you mine. You show me yours." There's a third party instructing you what to do and it's against your will. That's sexual abuse.'"

And then, quite late in the pregnancy, my husband Brad and I discovered that this little fetus was not going to live," the Seinfeld star said.

Following the "complete nightmare" that left her hospitalized for days, Dreyfus said she was "as they say, bedridden" when she returned home. "But my mom cooked. She made this incredible, cozy chili in a cast iron skillet, with cornbread on top in the pan. And she and my husband Brad set up a little card table at the foot of the bed. And the smell of that cornbread chili was so wonderful — it just filled the room and the whole house and my heart, really."

"They played this role of mentors to us, providing advice as we were making our decision to say 'I do' or 'I don't' on our wedding day. I also agree with the criticism, but I also think it's unfair as well with how much backlash she's getting. It feels like a dog pile."

Seven-time Grammy award winning singer, actress, executive producer, and entrepreneur Toni Braxton has inked a new all-encompassing production deal with Lifetime and A&E. Specifics were not revealed, but she will oversee multiple projects. Lifetime and Braxton have had a long history of collaboration, including producing the movie, A Christmas Spark.

Harry Belafonte Dies At 96

Beloved actor, singer, and civil rights activist Harry Belafonte has passed away due to congestive heart failure at the age of 96. His representative announced the news on Tuesday (April 25th).

"It is with a heavy heart that we have said goodbye to our beloved dad, father-in-law, and grandpa, the beyond amazing Harry Belafonte. To the world he was a legend, but to us he was Dad, Harry, Farfar - which means Grandpa in Danish - and he will always mean the world to us," his family said in a statement.

Known as the "Calypso King," Belafonte is credited for popularizing the musical style with his 1956 album titled "Calypso." His acting credits include Uptown Saturday Night, Island in the Sun, Odds Against Tomorrow, Carmen Jones, The World, The Flesh and the Devil, White Man's Burden, and BlacKkKlansman.

According to Entertainment Tonight, the EGOT winner was also the first Black person to host a late-night talk show, when he took over hosting duties for The Tonight Show for a week in 1968. His guests included Martin Luther King Jr., Lena Horne, and Bobby Kennedy.

Many in Hollywood took to social media on Tuesday (April 25th) to honor the legendary actor and singer, including Spike Lee, Oprah Winfrey, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Jennifer Hudson, and Ice Cube.

John Mulaney Describes His 'Star-Studded Intervention'

In his new Netflix special John Mulaney: Baby J, John Mulaney detailed the intervention that "totally saved his life." The Saturday Night Live star said 12 of his friends gathered in-person and over Zoom to encourage him to get help for a drug addiction.

"Let me just call this out now, I don't mean to be weird. It was a star-studded intervention. It was, like, a good group," Mulaney said. This group included comedians like Fred Armisen, Nick Kroll, Seth Meyers, Bill Hader, and Natasha Lyonne.

"It was like a 'We Are the World' of alternative comedians over the age of 40. All comedians. Yet no one said a funny thing the entire night," the Puss in Boots: The Last Wish actor joked.

Even though he was "so mad that night," Mulaney added, "Getting to do this show, and standing here, listen, I am grateful to everyone at my intervention. They intervened. They confronted me and they totally saved my life." Following the intervention, Mulaney spent two months in rehab and left the facility in February of 2021.

John Stamos Says The Olsen Twins Were Briefly Fired From 'Full House'

It's hard to imagine Full House without the Olsen twins, but according to John Stamos, "two redheaded kids" almost took their place. Stamos appeared on Monday's (April 24th) episode of the Good Guys podcast and said at one point he "couldn't deal" with the twins crying, so the show "god rid of them."

Describing a scene with Dave Coulier, Stamos said, "We're doing the scene. Joey and I were changing the baby, right? And Danny's gone and said, ‘Take care of the kids.' ‘Yeah, we got it. We got it.' So, we're carrying the baby downstairs and we take her in the kitchen and we hose her down. And she was screaming. Both of them. They wanted to be anywhere else but there — and so did I."

He continued, "They were 11 months old, and God bless them. They kept switching: ‘This one's not gonna cry.' I couldn't deal with it. And I said, ‘This is not gonna work.' So they got rid of them."

After bringing in "two redheaded kids," the You actor added, "It was only a few days, and I said, ‘Bring the Olsens back! These kids are terrible.'"

'The L Word' Creator And Cast Members Attend White House Press Briefing

In honor of Lesbian Visibility Week, the creator of The L Word, Ilene Chaiken, and cast members Jennifer Beals, Leisha Hailey, and Katherine Moennig attended a White House press briefing Tuesday (April 25th). The group addressed attacks on the LGBTQ community, as the American Civil Liberties Union reports that more than 465 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced this year.

"Visibility is not just the act of being seen. It is the ability to see," Hailey said. "So to the librarian in Texas, advocating to keep books with LGBTQIA themes on the shelves, we see you. To the LGBTQIA people leading their communities as rabbis, pastors and ministers, we see you. To the LGBTQIA community in Missouri about to lose their gender affirming care, we see you."

Referring to White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, Chaiken thanked President Biden for "giving us the first out lesbian press secretary who represents hope and possibility for so many people young and a bit older."

For her part, Jean-Pierre shared what a show like The L Word has meant to her and the broader community. "As a young queer woman of color, I felt alone and sometimes invisible," she said. "For so many people in our community, 'The L Word's' impact cannot be understated."
