GIULIANA RANCIC GETTING MASTECTOMY: GIULIANA RANCIC announced yesterday on the "Today" show she will undergo a double mastectomy next week.


The E! News host revealed this past October that she had been diagnosed with the early stages of breast cancer, and after having a double lumpectomy to remove the cancerous cells, she found out that doctors failed to "get all the cancer out." While she could have gone back for another lumpectomy, Giuliana decided to go forward with the more radical procedure.

"To be honest, all it came down to was choosing to live and not looking over my shoulder for the rest of my life," said the 36-year-old. "It could have come back more aggressively next time, so for me it was just more important to get the cancer out."


Giuliana says her husband Bill made it a bit easier. "Bill said to me, 'I just need you around for the next 50 years, kid. I don't care about the physical portion of this, so let's just get you healthy.'"

ROMANCE REPORT - ASHTON KUTCHER AND LEA MICHELE: It appears the gossip site X17 Online is trying to make something out of nothing between ASHTON KUTHER and "Glee" star LEA MICHELE, calling them the "hot new couple".


Although Ashton and Lea do hook up in the upcoming move they co-star in, and although they are both newly-single, they are far from the "hot new couple" the site is making them out to be. They were, however, acting quite flirty with each other at the recent movie premiere, so who knows. We'll definitley keep an eye out on this possible budding romance ...
