Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has something to share with the world.

On Friday afternoon, the Jersey Shore star revealed she has been diagnosed with cervical cancer.

“It came back stage 1 cervical cancer called adenocarcinoma,” the 38-year old said with a big sigh via TikTok. “Obviously not the news I’ve been hoping for, but also not the worst news just because they caught it so early. Thank freaking God!”

Snooki went on to reminded viewers to get their Pap smears because the annual test is what found the cancerous cells on her cervix.

“That’s why I’m literally telling you guys to get your Pap smears done. I’m 38 years old. I’ve been struggling with abnormal Pap smears for like, three, four years now,” she said.

“And now look at me, and instead of just, like, putting it off because I didn’t want to go, and it hurt and I was scared, no, I just went and did it, [and] cancer’s in there, and it’s only stage I and it’s curable.”

Snooki — who shares children Lorenzo, 13, Giovanna, 11, and Angelo, 6, with husband Jionni LaValle — grew understandably emotional as the video continued.

Looking ahead, the MTV personality said she’s next gonna to be transferred to an oncologist and undergo a PET scan to determine if the cancer has spread anywhere else in her body.

Fingers strongly crossed on Snooki’s behalf.

“After that, I’m gonna probably get the hysterectomy,” the mother of three shared, noting that her phyisician said the alternative was chemotherapy and radiation.

“Obviously, I think the smart choice here is the hysterectomy. I’ll still keep my ovaries, which is a good sign. But yeah, gotta get the cervix and uterus out. It all depends on the PET scan.”

Frightening stuff.

“So 2026 is not panning out how I wanted it to,” Snooki added. “But also, it could be worse.”

The type of cancer Snooki now has is very common among women.

She said she uploaded this new footage because she wants others to know they aren’t alone… and she wrapped it up on a positive note.

“I like that we have a platform here to talk about it with each other,” Snooki continued. “I appreciate all of the love. Everything’s going to be fine. I’m going to tackle this and get it done.

“I gotta keep attacking this and everything’s gonna be great.”

As we previously reported, Eric Dane has passed away after a battle with ALS.

The Grey’s Anatomy star was just 53 years old.

Obviously, Dane’s passing is a tragedy for his loved ones, especially his two daughters, Billie and Georgia.

But the teens can hopefully take some comfort in the fact that Dane’s episode of the Netflix series Famous Last Words was coincidentally released on Friday.

The show features famous figures reflecting on their lives and offering advice to the loved ones they’ll be leaving behind.

“Billie and Georgia, these words are for you,” Dane said at the start of his episode.

“I tried. I stumbled sometimes, but I tried. Overall, we had a blast, didn’t we?

“I remember all the times we spent at the beach. The two of you, me and Mom, in Malibu, Santa Monica, Hawaii, Mexico. I see you now playing in the ocean for hours, my water babies,” Dane continued, adding:

“Those days, pun intended, were heaven.”

Dane went on to stress the importance of living in the moment:

“For years, I would wander off mentally, lost in my head for long chunks of time, wallowing in worry and self-pity, shame, and doubt,” he explained.

“I replayed decisions, second-guessed myself. ‘I should have done this. I never should’ve done that.’ No more.”

From there, Eric tackled the difficult topic of falling in love.

“Not necessarily with a person, although I do recommend that as well,” he said.

“But fall in love with something. Find your passion, your joy. Find the thing that makes you wanna get up in the morning. Drives you through the entire day,” he continued, adding:

“My work doesn’t define me, but it excites me,” he shared. “Find something. Find your path. Your purpose. Your dream. Then go for it. Really go for it.”

At that point, Dane pivoted again in order to remind his daughters of the importance of friendship.

“Find your people and allow them to find you, and then give yourselves to them. The best of them will give back to you. No judgment. No conditions. No questions asked,” he said, adding:

“I can’t even do the little things I used to anymore. I can’t drive around town, go to the gym, get coffee, and hang out,” he said. “I’ve learned to embrace alternatives. My friends come to me.

“They just show up. That’s a big one. Just show up,” Dane added. “And love your friends with everything you have. Hang on to them. They will entertain you, guide you, support you, and some will save you.”

Indeed, many of Dane’s friends have paid tribute to his talent and his generous spirit in the wake of his passing. He was truly beloved.

And we’re sure that his daughters will remember him fondly for the rest of his days.

Eric Dane’s Heartbreaking Final Words to Daughters Revealed was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

In recent months, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau’s relationship has grown increasingly serious.

What began as a joke-prompting dinner date and a random entanglement has clearly blossomed into something more.

Now, a report has come out claiming that the singer is pregnant.

Is this true? Here’s everything that we know.

Is Katy Perry secretly Katy Pregnante?

On Thursday, February 19, a bold announcement took social media by storm.

The tweet showed a photo of Perry and Trudeau, one that appeared to show the two decked out in winter gear to enjoy this gorgeous weather.

It was the caption, however, that drew people’s attention.

“Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are expecting their first child together,” the tweet reads.

As you can imagine, this elicited quite a reaction.

Some bombarded the once-surprising power couple with congratulations.

Others expressed judgment — for having a pregnancy so soon after kicking off their relationship just last summer.

Many of the replies were, as always, filtered by people’s opinions of these famous and famously hot people.

However, others stopped to question the source of the news. And its validity, of course.

Pop Drug, which tweeted the announcement, isn’t TMZ or The Hollywood Reporter or People or even, say, Deuxmoi. Is the pregnancy news even true?

There is no credible evidence to support the pregnancy claim

Katy Perry has not made an announcement to this effect.

Justin Trudeau has not made an announcement to this effect.

No first-to-know tabloids — the sorts of well-connected operations that directly contact verified sources or might get tips directly from hospital staff or employees of celebrities — have made a report.

We’re not even seeing lesser-known sites claiming to have harder-to-verify reports to this effect.

Could Perry be pregnant? Sure, probably. In her early 40s, it would be a geriatric pregnancy, but probably possible. But possible doesn’t mean that it’s happening.

A post shared by KATY PERRY (@katyperry)

It is pretty important for everyone to vet their reports a little more closely.

Even if you aren’t familiar with a publication, most will cite their sources — allowing you to trace a rumor back to its origin.

We here at THG will discuss entertainment news rumors like this one and provide all of the information that we have on hand.

In fact, it seems that way may have inspired this apparent social media prank was simply the above Instagram post by Perry.

“Let love be the revolution,” she wrote alongside a series of photos — some featuring Trudeau.

Not every bit of disinformation has a motive

Obviously, there are times when people flood social media with fake news to rot people’s hearts and minds to win elections or promote a business or wage a smear campaign.

But people will also just post brazen lies (or unproven rumors) on social media for its own sake.

Some people are pranksters at heart.

If Perry and Trudeau decide to have a kid, we have a feeling that the world will learn of it through credible reports or by their own announcement.

In the mean time, it’s wise to double-check whose post you’re reading before you take it at face value. (Also, it is 2026 — stop reading tweets altogether!)
