Yesterday it was reported that Shannen Doherty has stage 4 cancer. She wanted the news to come from her words and not State Farm, because she's in a lawsuit battle with the insurance agency. She is fighting State Farm to repair the damages after a wildfire burned her house in CA, but this is what State Farm is saying: "Shannon improperly claims she is entitled to have her entire home rebuilt at a cost of $2.7mil because she has breast cancer and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. In fact, the first sentence of her memorandum reveals her plan at trial to garner sympathy by her contention that State Farm must rebuild her entire house..."According to documents, State Farm has already paid out $1mil, which includes remediation, professional cleaning and rent for a temporary house for a year.

Whoppi Goldberg and her Cannabis brand is now up in smoke! Is it because:

A. Whoppi smoked too much of her own product

B. She fought too much with her business partner

Whoppi Goldberg and her business partner Maya Elisabeth are shutting down their cannabis brand "Whoopi and Maya" because the two of them just couldn't get along! Lawyers tried to come up with some fair proposals and thought they found a win win situation for the pair, but then Whoppi sent an email to the board telling them she was backing down. Now the brand says they feel bad for the customers and they don't know what caused the rift between the two ladies....

Larry King says that the age gap between he and his 7th wife took a toll on him and that's why the 86 year old called it quits. Not only did he blame the age difference (which is 26 years) he also said that she was a morman and he's an atheist. "we overcame a lot, but it just hit a point where we didn't get along." Do we think he'll find an 8th anytime soon?
