Toni Braxton's Talks Cancer Scare, Chris Brown Got Milk, Plus More JD/Janet Pregnancy Rumors
Posted on December 10, 2008 6:53 PM
After her Vegas show was cancelled due to heart problems Toni Braxton faced the possibility of another serious illness. The singer spoke to US Weekly recently about overcoming a breast cancer scare.
In the latest issue of US Weekly Braxton reveals that she missed the Nov. 25 "Dancing With the Stars" because she had a tumor removed from her breast a week earlier.
"I was worried about what they would find," she tells Us. "But it was benign."
After discovering the lump during a routine checkup in August doctors believed the singer had nothing to worry about and could continue taping "Dancing With the Stars," but by the time Toni was eliminated from the show on Oct. 20 a follow up exam discovered the lump "was definitely still there and bigger," she says. "Getting the boot on the show was actually a blessing in disguise for me," Braxton said. "We have family history. My grandmother on my dad's side died of breast cancer, and I have aunts on both sides that have breast cancer."
"I was very fortunate," Toni says. "Cancer knows no race, no creed, no color."
Best wishes to Toni Braxton, I hope her recovery is a speedy one.
Check out Braxton's PSA for Autism Speaks below:
That's very touching. Braxton's youngest son Diezel is autistic, he appears at the end of the PSA with her.
Chris Brown put his jumping talents to use for this new Got Milk? ad. I wonder if he gets tired of leaping in jumping for every photoshoot. I guess he just likes to make sure we don't forget what a great dancer he is.
I guess it's Janet Jackson's turn now to be put on blast. Life & Style is making JJ the covergirl for their upcoming issue -- saying that friends of Jackson and boyfriend Jermaine Dupri have confirmed the couple is expecting. I REALLY REALLY hope they have good sources cuz this kinda ish ain't a game. On another note though, I think they may be right since these sort of mags normally shy away from running a black entertainer on the cover because supposedly the issues don't sell as well.
Do you think she really is knocked up finally? Talk to me y'all!
