Star Trek legend William Shatner faced a grim diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer after a PSA test revealed elevated levels. “I was told by a doctor that I had a deadly condition. That I was going to die,” said Shatner. The actor, 90, known for his iconic role as Captain James T. Kirk, had to contemplate mortality for the first time. “Ten! My own body had deceived me,” he recalled. Further probing showed that the testosterone supplements Shatner had been taking might be linked to his cancer. “I wondered whether I should discontinue taking the supplements,” Shatner said, later deciding it was a “terrific idea.” Studies show conflicting roles of testosterone in prostate cancer. One study suggests an increased risk with high testosterone levels, while another finds no such link. Shatner’s experience aligns with this inconclusive data. After ceasing the supplements, Shatner’s PSA levels normalized. “Three months later, I received another PSA test. It had dropped to one,” he revealed. Despite this, the NHS warns that PSA tests can yield “false positives” and recommends more thorough testing for definitive diagnosis…

Leslie’s day began as usual, immersed in the rhythm of housework, with her checklist guiding every step. She ironed shirts with precision, hummed while dusting, and poured love into making Peter’s favorite lasagna.

She pulled the charred dish from the oven, trying to salvage dinner before Peter arrived. When Peter walked in, his usual cold demeanor was accompanied by irritation.

A heated debate erupted on ABC’s “The View” over a viral video of Miranda Lambert scolding fans for taking selfies during her Las Vegas concert. Co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Whoopi Goldberg were at odds on the issue. Sunny argued that concertgoers had the right to take selfies, saying, “If I paid $757 for tickets, I’m taking as many selfies as I want.” In contrast, Whoopi stressed the importance of respect, responding, “Give me the respect of watching me while I do my thing, or don’t come.” The controversy started when Lambert paused her concert to express frustration over fans snapping selfies. Whoopi, siding with Lambert, dramatically left her seat and told Sunny, “Turn on the television, girl.” Adding a humorous twist, Whoopi took a selfie with an audience member, prompting laughter and leading into a commercial break. Though Lambert faced criticism for the incident, some fans supported her stance. Lindsey, an attendee, defended the singer, saying, “Team @mirandalambert. She owes no one an apology. I saw it all firsthand.”
