Bryant Gumbel, the “Real Sports” host and former “Today” show anchor guest hosted “Live! With Regis & Kelly” this morning. While he was on, he announced that he was recently treated for lung cancer.

While stating that he would not be able to dance with a guest on an upcoming show, Gumbel explained why: “Two months ago, I had cancer surgery,” he explained. “They opened up my chest. They took a malignant tumor and they took a part of my lung and some other goodies.”

The prognosis for 61-year old Gumbel is good as he told the audience, “The pathology on most of the stuff came up benign but enough of the aggressive cells had escaped the tumor that it warranted some treatment,” he continued. “I went through that and it’s done now.”

Glad things are on the mend for you, Bryant. – Dr.FB

Alec Baldwin To Retire After 30 Rock

Alec Baldwin To Retire? File Photo

Alec Baldwin says when his contract in 2012 ends on 30 Rock, he is done. Retired. Alec is still pissed at the voicemail incident from 2 years ago where mainstream media went tabloid in his book. This was brought up in a Playboy interview hitting stands this week.

From Matt Lauer doing an interview with TMZ’s Harvey Levin before calling him about the incident with his daughter was the last straw with him ever being on the “Today Show” again.

His plans after he retires?

“I have this silly fantasy,” he says. “I get married again, I have a kid. I’d love another shot at that, with everything I’ve learned. My kid’s like eight, comes home and says, ‘Dad, Jimmy’s mom says you were a famous actor on TV and in the movies. Is that true?’ And I go, ‘Yes, Johnny, Dad was famous.’ I whip out my scrapbooks and my DVDs and say, ‘Believe it or not, that’s your dad.’ And my kid’s like, ‘You used to be on TV and everything? And now you stay home and just clean the house all day while Mom works?’ ‘That’s right, son.’ It’s a dream, that the kid doesn’t know anything about that part of my life. Our normal life is uncontaminated by it.”

Let’s see if he doesn’t run for office. I think we all forgot about that voicemail…that is…until every time he brings it up.  Let it go. We know it bothered you but we don’t want to be reminded of that Alec. Plain and simple, you have recovered and bounced back from it and made it the past. Do us a favor Alec for those that like you, leave it there.-Dr.FB

Cramer vs. Stewart

Posted in Celebrity News, Economy, Politics, Television on March 10th, 2009 by drfunkencherry

 

According to this L.A. Times article, CNBC money pundit Jim Cramer and Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart are locked in a “full-blown media feud” over CNBC’s reporting–or lack thereof, according to Stewart–of the precariousness of the economy over the last two years. In particular, Stewart has been playing clips of Cramer’s financial and investment advice show Mad Money, with Cramer decidedly sugar-coating the situation: “Bear Stearns is fine! Bear Stearns is not in trouble.” Less than a week later, the investment house folded.

According to Stewart, “If I’d only followed CNBC’s advice, I’d have a million dollars today -– provided I’d started with a hundred million dollars.”

Since then, there has been a volley of quips and remarks fired back and forth between the two, first in a column Cramer wrote on MainStreet.com, then an appearance on the Today show, with Stewart responding on his Daily Show broadcast. Look for Stewart to fire another round in tonight’s episode.

And for the record, MY money is on Jon.
