On the anniversary of that accident, Dr. Spencer began to suffer from a severe headache. On the third day of that headache, she became unresponsive. Doctors immediately performed a life-saving surgery to remove the bleeding hematoma in her brain. She is now under intense recovery protocol but there is no estimated time of healing as she’s already battled cancer and a spinal injury in her life. There is a GoFundMe to help her with what will be a very expensive journey back to health. If you have anything at all that can help Dr. Danielle Spencer get back on her feet we’re sure it will be greatly appreciated. Hit the link above to land on her page and make a donation.
Keep her in your prayers !!! Former “What’s Happening” Child Actress Danielle Spencer Diagnosed With Breast Cancer One of our favorite child stars Danielle Spencer is dealing with a difficult health diagnosis, she revealed her current battle in an interview with Black America Web: Dr. Danielle Spencer played the bratty little sister Dee on the late-’70s sitcom, ‘ What’s Happening!!’ But the now 49-year-old actress is not a sad cautionary tale like so many other child stars. After the show ended it’s 3-year run from 1975-1978, Spencer went on to Tuskeegee University where she completed a degree in veterinary science and became a veterinarian. Spencer is facing a challenge now – she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and she hopes her story will encourage other women to seek screening. But for those who love nostalgia, Spencer remains a fond memory of childhood, her famous line ‘Oooh, I’m gonna tell mama,” is one her fans still say when they run into her. But Spencer says she’s OK with that, even if some people don’t realize she’s heard it many times before. “I chuckle, because everyone thinks its original, so I have to act like it’s new every time,” she laughs. Spencer says she stopped acting to focus on school, vowing to return to acting if her career as veterinarian didn’t work out. Twenty-two years later, she’s happy with her choice. “However I do miss it every once in a while. There are a lot more show and opportunities when I was young. She says. I wish there were more representations of animal rights on TV and I”m so glad there is Animal Planet now.” Spencer says she’d love to be part of a reality show focusing on animal rights and care. But first, Spencer has her own medical challenge. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a month ago and is heading to the hospital this week to seek the best treatment option. “Surgery is definitely one of the options,” she says. “I”m trying to get as many opinions as possible but it does look that that is what I’m going to do. Hopefully after that there won’t be any chemotherapy or radiation. With everything that I’ve been through with the spinal cord injury (Spencer was in a car accident in 1977, during the show. Symptoms of spinal cord injury showed up 26 years later, eventually leaving her near-paralysis for a time) I know God is not going to give me another affliction. So I was completely shocked when the doctors told me.” Spencer had a family history of breast cancer, but says she has a lot of support and help in her life but says that good things have also happened in her life this year. One of the most significant was her induction into the Smithsonian Museum, the only child star so inducted. She will be part of the permanent exhibition of the African-American cultural museum scheduled to open in 2015. Congratulations on the Smithsonian induction! It sounds like Spencer has been through a lot but breast cancer is survivable so we hope she keeps her spirits high and continues to fight the disease. Thoughts and prayers go out to her and her family. You can listen to the full interview HERE Getty News/ABC
Forget about pouring it up… This ho needs to sit down! Rihanna is being cautioned by doctors to slow down her party girl lifestyle or face being sidelined from her world tour. Via UK’s The Sun : Rihanna has reportedly been advised to make some “serious lifestyle changes” if she wants to fulfil her touring commitments. Doctors have apparently expressed fears for her wellbeing after she fell ill with laryngitis and was forced to axe two dates on her Diamonds World Tour. It’s claimed Rihanna has been told that she won’t be able to sustain the level she’s currently operating at if she doesn’t ease up on the partying front. And the chart-topper is reportedly taking steps to get back to full health. A source said: “Rihanna’s illness was so severe that doctors warned it could take months for her to fully recover – there were worries that she’d have to cancel her entire tour. “She was forced to cancel two of her Diamonds dates in Baltimore and Boston after coming down with laryngitis. “She has since resumed the tour and promised to reschedule the cancelled shows. “They’ve told her that she needs to make some serious lifestyle changes, or risk this happening again. “This has given her a scare. But Rihanna knows it’s partly self-inflicted. “She loves to smoke, drink and stay up late. Her body was bound to need a break at some point. “She’s now on a mission to start looking after herself.” Insiders also claim that Rihanna recognises her relationship with Chris Brown isn’t having a positive influence on her. The source added: “RiRi’s received death threats, verbal attacks and has fallen out with some of her best friends recently, including Katy Perry. “This has taken a huge emotional toll.” This is like deja vous! Seems like it’s the same thing with Rihanna on every tour. She just be going too hard. Take it easy RihRih!

I just got this amazing email: Amanda Bynes caused quite a scene during a recent visit to Beach Bum Tanning in NYC. An eyewitness tells In Touch that the troubled starlet shocked customers when she appeared in main salon area — completely naked! After purchasing a Mystic spray-tan session, the 26-year-old was set up in a private room — but it wasn’t long before Amanda strode back out into the main salon area in search of goggles. Only problem: She wasn’t wearing any clothes! “She walked out of the room completely naked,” the eyewitness tells In Touch. “She didn’t seem to care that everyone saw her naked.” “She seemed totally out of it,” the eyewitness says. “She took her time walking back to the Mystic room, dragging her fingers along the wall and smiling at customers who passed her.” The eyewitness adds: “There was definitely something wrong with her.” Best fucking news ever…. I want to see the pics….someone out there…an employee of Mystic tan…must have security footage of this happening….and I need it…because Amanda Bynes, despite her weird face…has a hot little body I want to see naked…. I hope this drug addiction, fallen off the radar shit is true…cuz child star turns into porn star would be a nice way to end this Amanda Bynes story….
You probably saw something like this happening, sooner or later. Last night, A$AP Rocky was arrested in downtown New York City for allegedly assaulting a pair of photographers, reports TMZ. However, the photo snappers weren’t paparazzi but civilians who started taking pics of the Harlem rapper after witnessing him getting into some sort of dispute with someone else, according to the NYPD… Continue
