Bruno Mars' Mother Dies At 55
Bruno Mars' mother dead at 55, according to an AP source.
Bernadette Hernandez died Saturday of a brain aneurysm, according to a publicist for Mars' label, Atlantic Records, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the person was not authorized to speak on the record.
Hernandez was 55 years old. She died in Honolulu at Queens Medical Center; no other information was given.
Mars is one of pop's top acts with several No. 1 hits including his most recent, "When I Was Your Man." His mother, a hula dancer and a singer who immigrated from the Philippines, nurtured her son's interest in music at an early age.
Michael Douglas Reveals Oral Sex Caused His Throat Cancer
In a candid new interview with U.K.'s The Guardian, Douglas admits that his illness was caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
"Without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV, which actually comes about from cunnilingus," the "Behind the Candelabra" star, 68, explains.
Douglas, who fought a six-month battle with the disease from August 2010 until January 2011, also confesses that he thought that his battle with cancer would be a fatal one. He says at first he assumed the stress from his son Cameron's legal troubles played a big factor in his sickness.
"I did worry if the stress caused by my son's incarceration didn't help trigger it. But yeah, it's a sexually transmitted disease that causes cancer," Douglas, who is married to Catherine Zeta-Jones, notes. "And if you have it, cunnilingus is also the best cure for it."
The actor has been cancer-free for more than two years and says he has check-ups every six months. "And with this kind of cancer, 95% of the time it doesn't come back," he adds. Still, Douglas will never forget what it felt like to hear that word.
"I will always remember the look on his face," Douglas previously said of his doctor, who revealed that he had stage four throat cancer. "He said: 'We need a biopsy.' There was a walnut-size tumor at the base of my tongue that no other doctor had seen."
According to the Oral Cancer Foundation, one tract of HPV -- known as HPV16 -- is known to be linked to oral cancer, manifesting itself in the back regions of the throat and mouth. Douglas admits he suffered through toothaches and other oral infections for nine months before discovering his diagnosis.
Bruce Jenner Calls Out Kanye West: 'He's Never Around'
Bruce Jenner calls out Kanye West, says "he's never around."
The Kardashian family patriarch stopped by Extra with his son Brody Jenner on May 31 to talk about the upcoming season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" -- which premieres tonight (June 2) at 9 p.m. on E! -- and dished on Kim's nowhere-to-be-found baby daddy.
“Actually, I have only met him once," Bruce told Maria Menounos, who was shocked by his confession. "He's never ... he's not around," he laughed, adding, "He was in Paris the whole time writing, and he just hasn't been around.”
And believe it or not, Brody's revelation was more surprising than Bruce's.
“I’ve never met him," the new cast member admitted. "But Kim says great things about him," he continued, "And so does the entire family."
Speaking of the rest of the Kardashian clan, Khloe recently discussed Kim's baby shower and revealed that West will most likely be making an appearance at the party today (June 2).
"It's girls, but Kanye will come at the end," Khloe told Ryan Seacrest on his morning show, noting, "I think Scott [Disick] and Lamar [Odom] might bring Kanye at the end, because Kanye feels it's a little weird if he's the only guy."

Beyonce and Jay-Z Crazy in Love for London charity
Beyoncé headlined the Chime For Change: Sound of Change live event at Twickenham Stadium, organised to raise money for women’s and children’s rights.
The singer had a surprise in store when her rapper husband joined her on stage for a performance of their 2003 hit single Crazy In Love.
Jay-Z could be seen wrapping his arm around the star’s waist while Beyoncé sported a wide smile and worked the stage in a leather bodysuit.
At one point the couple shared a kiss, inspiring the crowd to go wild.
“He came on and the crowd went absolutely crazy. No-one was expecting it. He gave her a big kiss on the cheek as he walked on stage,” a source told MailOnline.
“They looked more in love than ever and so proud of each other. He was utterly besotted with her,” the insider said.
The display was a far cry from their media-shy early days as a couple.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z recorded Crazy in Love while they were still dating in 2003 but neither star was open to probing questions about their budding romance at the time.
They finally married in 2008 after several years together.
The couple are now coming down from rampant rumours suggesting Beyoncé is pregnant with their second child. They welcomed daughter Blue Ivy in January 2012.
Beyoncé appeared to settle those rumours with an online post this week.
The star shared a photo of herself sitting on Jay-Z’s lap and drinking a glass of wine.
Chime for Change raised $4.3 million for charity organisations worldwide.
Other performers at the event included Jennifer Lopez, Rita Ora, John Legend and Florence + The Machine, among others.
Mariah and Nicki quit American Idol
The 43-year-old Grammy Award-winning mother-of-two revealed her departure from the TV talent competition via the internet.
“W/ global success of “#Beautiful” (#1 in 30+ countries so far) @MariahCarey confirms world tour & says goodbye 2 Idol http://mariahcarey.com,” read a tweet written by Mariah’s publicity firm PMK*BNC that the star retweeted on her personal Twitter account.
Executives behind American Idol honour her exit.
Representatives of Fox and FremantleMedia appreciate what she has contributed to the programme.
“Mariah Carey is a true global icon – one of the most accomplished artists on the planet – and we feel extremely fortunate that she was able to bring her wisdom and experience to the ‘American Idol’ contestants this season,” company spokespersons revealed in a statement.
“We know she will remain an inspiration to ‘Idol’ hopefuls for many seasons to come.”
Mariah judged alongside Randy Jackson, Keith Urban and Nicki Minaj on the twelfth season of the show.
Longtime panellist Randy has also recently announced his exit from Idol.
Fellow panelist Nicki Minaj revealed that she also won’t be returning to the show too.
The rapper confirmed on Twitter she was abandoning her post on the programme.
“Thank you American Idol for a life changing experience! Wouldn’t trade it for the world! Time to focus on the Music!!! Mmmuuuaahhh!!!” Nicki wrote to her over 16 million followers.
Nicki has bickered with Mariah throughout their stint on American Idol. She most recently called the songstress “bitter” and “insecure”.
Rumours abound that former Idol judge Jennifer Lopez will be replacing Mariah.
“I don’t know. That’s the question of the moment. I loved doing the show.
I’ve said that over and over. If it came down to it and things were right and it worked out right — we have a lot going on right now,” Jennifer revealed to USA Today previously.
“For an offer to come in and for me to consider it, I would have to sit down and look at my next year.”
