Shannen Doherty has a message for Michael Bublé, who recently shared that his 3-year-old son Noah is battling cancer.
“I can’t even begin to touch that one, to be honest, because it’s a 3-year-old,” the actress, 45, told Entertainment Tonight at the American Cancer Society’s Inaugural Giants of Science Gala in Beverly Hills on Saturday. “I would imagine your child having cancer is devastating as a parent.”
Doherty went on to provide advice to Bublé and his family, as she herself is still undergoing final chemotherapy treatments after being diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2015.

Sonequa Martin-Green has a very personal reason for wanting to take take part in the Stand Up to Cancer telecast this year.
"I'm someone who's been really affected by this evil disease – it runs rampant in my family," the star of The Walking Dead tells People.
It's a cause that hits close to home for the actress in tragic ways: Martin-Green's mother is a three-time cancer survivor and her sister survived breast cancer while several aunts, uncles and grandparents have died fighting it.
But the proximity of the disease to her life has showed her how strong people – and especially her mother – can be.

It wasn't Taylor Swift's model squad who made headlines following her concert in Glendale, Ariz. last night. Instead, it was a special song the singer dedicated to one very important woman in the audience. The 25-year-old beauty brought the crowd to tears on Monday when she sang the track "Ronan" in concert for the second time ever. Swift previously debuted the track in 2012 for a performance for Stand Up to Cancer. The "Shake It Off" stunner wrote the song for Ronan Thompson, who died from neuroblastoma at the age of 3 in 2011, using blog entries written by his mother, Maya Thompson. Maya was in the audience on Monday, so it was only fitting that Taylor performed the...

Congratulations to Jules O'Dwyer and her loveable border collie Matisse who won Britain's Got Talent last night (May 31). We must admit we came over a tad teary-eyed when Matisse's three-legged collie companion Skippy made his debut in their final act.

“You’re going to kick cancer’s ass today, because you’re a badass sister!”
Is there an official Sister of the Year award? If so, we have the winner.
Jennifer Laface of Pittsburgh, Pa. went viral this week after she posted a Facebook video (kind of) doing “The Dougie” for her sister, who is battling cancer: “Today is round seven of chemo and I chose ‘Teach Me How to Dougie,’” Jenn says in the video. “Not that I’m very good at the dance.

Safe to say Jamie Oliver should stick to his culinary career. In order to benefit Stand Up to Cancer, the 39-year-old chef has teamed up with Taylor Swift to create a parody video of her single "Shake It Off," appropriately titled "Bake It Off" in which the two go head-to-head in a cook-off as Swift hilariously expresses her distaste for Oliver's lyrical switcheroo. "Just get your head in the game," the sassy 24-year-old songstress tells Oliver before the restaurateur breaks out in to song, crooning (in a slightly off-beat key), ''I'm a baking king / baking is my thing." Swift is not feeling the remix and covers...

Taylor Swift is not taking Jamie Oliver's crap in a new parody of "Shake It Off," aptly titled "Bake It Off." Swift and Oliver made the video for Stand Up to Cancer, so it's all in good fun (and for a good cause), but in the context of their sketch, she is just barely tolerating him as he botches her lyrics and sings out of tune. "Don't steal my ingredients," she says as he pilfers an orange. "That was mine. We don't cheat. This is a serious competition." And even though he taunts her—"pop stars can't bake, bake,...

Throughout the week, we'll be presenting the Heroes of the Year, our list of individuals who made a major impact on the comic book movie community in 2012.
Day two of our celebration is all about Gwen Stacy, budding scientist and Spider-Man's significant other, as played by Emma Stone in "The Amazing Spider-Man." Honoring her is lifelong Gwen Stacy super-fan and Comic Book Resources reviews editor Steve Sunu.
Gwen Stacy is one of the most important characters in the development of the comic book medium. The character's untimely death signified a loss of innocence both for Spider-Man and his readers — and when the character was announced as being the primary love interest in Marc Webb's "Amazing Spider-Man," the studio had to find someone who could portray Gwen with the positivity and spirit of her comic counterpart in a modern context.
Thank the Asgardian Gods for Emma Stone.
