Alaskan Bush People Recap: KABOOM!!!

Alaskan Bush People went to a couple pretty dark places on Wednesday night. First, the family continued to deal with the tragic fact that Ami Brown has been diagnosed with lung cancer. The last time we checked in with this Discovery Channel family, patriarch Billy had told his kids that the cancer was Stage 3, but doctors were in the middle of determining whether it was Stage 4. Which would mean Ami really does not have much time remaining. The illness is so serious that most of the Browns left Alaska many weeks ago in order to be with Ami while she sought treatment in southern California. On the latest installment of this reality series, we learned more about said treatment. “Ami’s hurting pretty bad,” Billy told viewers. “We’re in for probably a lot harder road than we’ve ever faced. There’s no doubt about that.” Unsure exactly what the doctors had told them about what’s on tap for Ami, the family asked one of the show’s producers to interpret the news they received at UCLA Medical Center. “The radiation is 5 days a week for 6 weeks,” Sheila McCormack therefore explained, adding: “After the radiation, once a week she goes to the other building and they put an IV in her and she gets chemotherapy for four hours.” “What’s going on now is the most difficult thing we’ve gone through because of who it’s happening to – because it’s mom and because of what it is,” said son Bam on air. “It makes a house burning down or a boat sinking or needing 5 stitches no big deal. This is really difficult. I don’t even know what to say.” Ami may also need to go on a feeding tube because she’s down to 94 pounds and doctors say she needs her strength to fight the cancer. “All the things that we’ve overcome, all the obstacles that have been in front of us, taught us that whatever lies ahead, as long as we keep faith in family and God, we’ll be alright,” said Billy, clearly and understandably shaken up over this awful news. Elsewhere on the episode, Matt nearly died. Left alone in Brownton about two months ago because his family was by Ami’s side, Matt was found injured in a home explosion. The event took place when cameras were not rolling, but they picked up the action after medics arrived on the scene and found Matt bleeding from the head. “This is bad, man. He doesn’t look good. Safety, prep for an evac,” a production member was head yelling at one point while Matt was heard screaming “Oh my God!”  According to a TMZ report at the time this incident took place, Matt had filled a mason jar with gunpowder and cannon fuse and stored it in his refrigerator. It then exploded, blowing the doors off this kitchen appliance and into Matt’s skull. Back in California, already concerned about their mother, the kids were told that Matt was also in the hospital. “I don’t know what happened. I know that Matt was alone in Brownton and I can only imagine how heavy that must have been and the kind of mindset that would put you in,” said Bam. “I don’t want to speculate. I just know that he was trying to keep up a strong, brave front for everybody and I think he just cracked a little bit.” Matt ended up getting airlifted to a hospital in Juneau, where he was placed in intensive care. A few days later, he touched down in Southern California and told Bam that physicians used nine staples to close the wound on his scalp. “I’ve gone through all this, bro. It’s a lesson: life is fragile,” said Matt to his sibling “The bush’s rule one, the moment you take your mind off everything, is the one that it get – and it got me.” “It didn’t get you,” replied Bam. “It almost got you. You survived and that’s the important part.” Let’s hope the same ends up being true for Ami.

Megan McCain Pays Beautiful Tribute to John McCain, Slams Hateful Troll

While the political world responds to the shocking and sad news that  John McCain has brain cancer , the senator’s daughter has captured the heart of the Internet with an emotional tribute to her dad. On Wednesday night, five days after he underwent surgery to remove a blood clot from above his left eye, doctors confirmed that McCain has a glioblastoma. This is an aggressive tumor that will likely require McCain to undergo radiation and chemotherapy treatments. According to CNN, the average survival rate for someone with a malignant glioblastoma is around 14 months. In response to the development, messages of love and support have flooded social media, as McCain is one of the best known and most respected politicians in the country. “John McCain is an American hero & one of the bravest fighters I’ve ever known,” Tweeted McCain’s opponent in the 2008 Presidential race, Barack Obama. The former Commander-in-Chief added: “Cancer doesn’t know what it’s up against. Give it hell, John.” Meghan McCain, meanwhile, posted a lengthy note on Twitter that attempted to capture all she was feeling about the situation. “The news of my father’s illness has affected every one of us in the McCain family. “My grandmother, mother, brothers, sister, and I have all endured the shock of the news, and now we live with the anxiety about what comes next,” she wrote. Meghan’s siblings include: Douglas, 57, Andrew, 55, Sidney, 50, John Sidney, 31, James, 29, and Bridget, 25. Continued the television host and personality: “It is an experience familiar to us, given my father’s previous battle with cancer – and it is familiar to the countless American families whose loved ones are also stricken with the tragedy of disease and the inevitability of age. If we could ask anything of anyone now, it would be the prayers of those of you who understand this all too well. We would be so grateful for them.” Meghan was right by her father’s side when he underwent the aforementioned procedure at Phoenix’s Mayo Clint to remove a blood clot. This surgery took place on July 14 and was not considered serious on its own. But results from a biopsy shortly afterward revealed the cancer diagnosis. “Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all the thoughtful words and prayers for my father,” Meghan wrote as a caption to the following image on Monday. “He’s doing very, very well with all of us in Arizona! I’m trying to convince him to watch The Crown with me…” On Tuesday, meanwhile, Meghan has to clap back at Twitter trolls, even calling for the resignation of Nevada GOP committeewoman, Diana Orrock…who actually retweeted with “Amen” to a message wishing death to her father. “You are a godless, horrible monster who should be nowhere near GOP politics – let alone society in general,” Meghan wrote of Orrock, who eventually apologized for being such an insensitive moron. On Wednesday, though, Meghan wasn’t full of vitriol. Just love, affection and respect. “It won’t surprise you to learn that in all this, the one of us who is most confident and calm is my father. He is the toughest person I know,” she wrote. “The cruelest enemy could not break him. The aggressions of political life could not bend him. So he is meeting this challenge as he has every other. “Cancer may afflict him in many ways: But it will not make him surrender. Nothing ever has.” John McCain was shot down by the North Vietnamese in 1967 and was taken as a prisoner of war for over five years. He has served in the senate since 1986. “My love for my father is boundless, and like any daughter I cannot and do not wish to be in a world without him. I have faith that those days remain far away,” Meghan Tweeted last night. “Yet even in this moment, my fears for him are overwhelmed by one thing above all: Gratitude for our years together, and the years still to come. He is a warrior at dusk, one of the greatest Americans of our age, and the worth heir to his father’s and grandfather’s name. “But to me he is something more.” She concluded as follows: He is my strength, my example, my refuge, my confidante, my teacher, my rock, my hero — my dad. Powerful stuff. Please join us in wishing John McCain well.

Adam West Dies; TV’s Batman Was 88

Adam West, who became a TV legend as the star of the 1960s Batman  series, has passed away at the age of 88. The sad news of West’s death was confirmed this morning in a statement from the actor’s representatives. West reportedly passed peacefully in his sleep following a short battle with Leukemia, according to multiple reports. His family said in statement issued moments ago: “Our dad always saw himself as The Bright Knight, and aspired to make a positive impact on his fans’ lives.” “He was and always will be our hero.” West’s depiction of both Batman and his alter-ego Bruce Wayne helped him achieve instant fame with the show’s debut in 1966. However, as is often the case with such stardom, he would later find himself constrained and typecast by the iconic role. The show’s candy-colored graphics and campy storylines made it synonymous with a particularly dated brand of ’60s kitsch. It was a tone from which West struggled to separate himself, but he would find the greatest success of his later years by embracing it. Relishing his role as the clown prince of a bygone era, he demonstrated a self-referential and self-deprecating sense of humor few actors are capable of,  West turned in memorably tongue-in-cheek performances as various versions of himself on shows like The Big Bang Theory and Family Guy . In the latter, he became a beloved series regular, portraying a deranged mayor of the fictional Quahog, Rhode Island. Whose name happened to also be Adam West. West was sometimes critical of the darker version of Batman presented by directors Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan. While no doubt appreciative of the directors’ work, he said he always endeavored to find the lighter side of the Dark Knight. For decades, he had conflicting feelings toward the character that limited his career and which later made him something of a punchline. Of being embraced by many, but also looked down upon in a sense by more “serious” superhero fans, West explained: “I decided that since so many people love Batman, I might as well love it too.” “Why not? So I began to reengage myself with Batman.” “And I saw the comedy. I saw the love people had for it,” the actor said of the character and his role in its legacy. “I just embraced it.” While many actors have portrayed Batman over the years, West’s take on the iconic figure was inarguably unique. So it’s fitting that in his later years, fans embraced West as a gifted comic actor who offered a distinctive, era-defining take on one of pop culture’s most beloved, most enduring and most recognizable characters.

Casey Affleck Calls Trump’s Policies “Abhorrent” And “Un-American” During Spirit Awards Acceptance Speech [VIDEO]

Casey Affleck Slams Trump Policies We’ve been really trying to avoid feeling any type of positive vibes for Casey Affleck for a number of reasons, one of them being that he’s a relative of Ben Affleck’s who definitely reaps plenty of the nepotistic benefits of being Ben’s little brother, another being that he’s pretty much the only thing standing in the way of Denzel getting a Best Actor Oscar tonight for “Fences” and the last being that he hasn’t been half as clumsy as Nate Parker when maneuvering around questions about his shady past which includes sexual assault allegations, but clearly the guy is trying to redeem himself and after the speech he gave at the Independent Spirit Awards Saturday night we may even have to watch ‘Manchester By The Sea’ finally. After all — besides slamming Donald Trump’s policies for being un-American he also quoted our director homie Ezra Edelman’s mom — Marian Wright Edelman, who is a national treasure and an absolute HERO of a black woman (she founded the Children’s Defense Fund). Edelman last week penned a beautiful op-ed for the Huffington Post which discussed how the family of Frederick Douglass stepped up following President Trump’s Black History Month breakfast blunder to remind the country of his legacy. In that piece, Edelman called this a “time to struggle for the future of the soul of our nation.” “I know this feels preachy and boring and I’m preaching to the choir but I’m just lending my little voice to the chorus here,” Affleck added. “And saying that all of you, [if] you are struggling, you’re doing it so, so well and speaking up and I’m really proud to be a part of this community for that reason.” Clap for him?
