Kylie Minogue announced today that she has breast cancer and will be postponing her current tour to seek treatment.

Minogue’s management company that the 36-year-old’s diagnosis was confirmed this week during a visit to the southern Australian city of Melbourne, her hometown.

I’d say more, but cancer is pretty much the worst thing in the world so I’m just hoping she deals with it okay, although breast cancer isn’t usually that bad so I’m sure everything will be fine. At least she didn’t get butt-cancer though, because that would’ve been a career ending disease. Ya know, because she has a nice butt. And uh, I like looking at it. *Cough* No, you’re a pervert.

Thanks to Jonathan for the tip.

The biggest movie star on the planet reveals his true feelings about fame, family, and his new film, War of the Worlds.

Change terrifies most of us. Not Tom Cruise. Want proof? His dad abandoned his family, and he grew up poor. But he stuck close to his mom and sisters, and transformed himself into the biggest movie star in the world. He couldn’t read, and teachers said he was dyslexic. But Cruise wouldn’t accept that, and finally found the answer he needed-in church. He appears to thrive on pressures and responsibilities, getting up every morning, strapping on his million-watt smile and going at life hard.

Okay-this is Tom Cruise we’re talking about, one of the highest-paid actors in Hollywood. But when he was born Thomas Cruise Mapother IV nearly 43 years ago, he didn’t have money, influence or famous friends. What he had was Mary Lee, his tough, optimistic mom, and a determination not to be just a good-looking Average Joe. “I don’t agree with people who say, ‘Don’t change,’” he says. “When I was a kid, I said, ‘Man, I hope life gets better. I hope I change.’”

Cruise worked hard, moving to New York, then Los Angeles, to begin acting, but today credits much of his success to the Church of Scientology, the controversial religion he adopted in his 20s, which has, he says, put him in the driver’s seat of life. An advantage of his particular driver’s seat is the life he can create for Isabella, 12, and Connor, 10, the children he adopted with actress Nicole Kidman, whom he divorced in 2001.

Which leads to one of the next big things Cruise would like to change: his status as a single guy. To discuss that notion and much more, the War of the Worlds star sat down with Reader’s Digest in Los Angeles.

RD: For years you’ve talked about wanting to give back, in thanks for your success. You’ve even helped rescue accident victims and such. Why is it important to you to help others?

Cruise: I was the kid who would help at a nursing home, who would walk people across the street. I wanted to help. I like seeing people do well. Life’s about helping each other.

RD: Growing up, you must have wished for some help yourself. Your parents divorced, your mother juggled jobs, and your family didn’t have much money.

Cruise: We helped each other. Either you can look at something in a negative way or you can look in a positive way, and then reach to improve. I always thought, How am I going to make this better?

RD: Were you always close to your sisters?

Cruise: Always. Being raised with women, I saw their side of things, how if something happened with a boyfriend, it upset them. I got an understanding.

RD: You seem to have a real respect for women. What is it that you like so much about them?

Cruise: They smell good. [Laughs] They look pretty. I love women. I do.

RD: Was your mom strict? Did she insist that you all work?

Cruise: She didn’t have to. We didn’t have any money! And it was actually great. This whole idea of not letting children work is ridiculous. I loved working, having my own money, buying things. I took great pride in that.

RD: Was your mom strict? Did she insist that you all work?

Cruise: She didn’t have to. We didn’t have any money! And it was actually great. This whole idea of not letting children work is ridiculous. I loved working, having my own money, buying things. I took great pride in that.

RD: You reconciled with your father before he died. What was that like?

Cruise: I saw him right before he died, and some of the tools I’d acquired helped me understand him better-what he was going through and who he was. So I don’t feel regret.

RD: Did you feel forgiveness?

Cruise: I understand, which is more important than forgiving.

RD: This man abandoned your family. In the end, did he apologize?

Cruise: You look at people in his position, and you feel bad for them, for what they missed in life. My mom raised us. She saw the glass as half-full. There were a lot of people that were a hell of a lot better off than we were, but I didn’t care. We didn’t complain. We worked together. And as a result, we were very close. So I wasn’t even looking for an apology from my father. I just wanted to understand him. And I understand now.

LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton likes her burgers spicy. The hotel heiress, actress, jewelry designer and entrepreneur will star in a television commercial next week in which she will slap suds on the side of a Bentley automobile and chomp on a thick burger while clad in a skimpy black bathing suit.

Hilton will perform the feat to a rock version of the song “I Love Paris in the Springtime.”

The ad for the fast-food chain Carl’s Jr. will feature Hilton’s signature tag line, which doubles as a reference to the barbecue sauce and jalapenos-pepper laden sandwich â€â€? “that’s hot.”

The 30-second spot will debut nationally on the syndicated show “Entertainment Tonight,” on May 17, then go into regular rotation in Western states where Carl’s Jr. does business. In late June, the ad will be shown across the midwest to tout a similar sandwich at the company’s Hardee’s restaurants.

“We’re working on trying to make Paris Hilton famous,” joked Andrew Puzder, president and chief executive of CKE Restaurants Inc., which owns the two fast food chains.

The company is known for its racy television ads, one of which featured a woman eating a burger while riding a mechanical bull. Another starred Playboy magazine founder Hugh Hefner and several playmates. That ad was condemned by televangelist the Rev. Robert Schuller.

The two chains also tout huge, dripping burgers at a time when other fast-food restaurants are offering more healthy alternatives.

Puzder said his company’s ad agency suggested using Hilton.

“She’s very appealing to our demographic,” which he described as young, hungry guys.

“And it turns out she really loved the burger we wanted her to promote,” Puzder said. “We did see her eat a couple of them at the shoot.”

The company will feature a 60-second version, which Puzder promises will be “racier,” on its Web sites.

According to Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton threw a tantrum in a restaurant because nobody would read the menu to her. Paris Hilton has to be the most entertaining individual in the world. She pulls the kind of crap that you would expect to see in a TV show, except it’s her real life. I’m sort of hoping that she’ll just lose her mind one day and start riding on the backs of servants instead of driving a car. She could even have a whip and yell things like “Faster! I’m going to be late for my important meeting!” Man, that would be so funny to watch.
