NBC Robin Roberts tweet, When “Good Morning America” host Robin Roberts left to receive treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome, NBC reportedly told former “Today” host Ann Curry that she could not sent a tweet to support her. New York magazine reported Monday that Curry, who was ousted from the show last year, could not send a message of support when Roberts was seeking treatment for her illness because they were “afraid she was trying to aid the enemy.” “Ann Curry was gone but not gone, which created a situation of spectacular awkwardness. Any trust that had existed between Curry and Today was shattered,” an excerpt from the New York article reads. It added: “When Robin Roberts left Good Morning America a month later to get treatment for MDS, Curry asked NBC if she could tweet a note of sympathy for the ABC co-host. NBC said no, afraid she was trying to aid the enemy.” According to the article, Lauer also reportedly was in talks with ABC at one point to join the network after he h

Virgil Trucks dies, Virgil "Fire" Trucks, who threw two no-hitters for the Detroit Tigers in an otherwise dreadful 1952 season and was the last pitcher to toss a complete-game no-hitter at Yankee Stadium, has died. He was 95. Charter Funeral Home and Crematory in Calera, Ala., confirmed Trucks' death but did not release a specific cause. The two-time All-Star died Saturday near Birmingham, Ala. He pitched in the major leagues from 1941-58, helping the Tigers beat the Chicago Cubs in the 1945 World Series. "Virgil will forever be remembered for his significant contributions in Tigers history," team owner Mike Ilitch said in a statement. "Virgil remained a friend to the club following his career and will be greatly missed by those of us who had the pleasure of knowing him." Trucks is one of five pitchers to throw two no-hitters in a season, according to STATS. The others were Johnny Vander Meer (1938), Allie Reynolds (1951), Nolan Ryan (1973) and Roy Ha

Karen Black cancer, Actress Karen Black has turned to online crowd-funding in an effort to pay for cancer treatment, reports Deadline Hollywood. The 73-year-old, who starred alongside Jack Nicholson in "Easy Rider," was diagnosed with ampullary cancer in November 2010. After undergoing an operation to remove a third of her pancreas, followed by chemo and radiation therapy, the actress was thought to have beaten the disease in July 2011. But sadly, just a few months later, the cancer returned and it has now spread to her lungs and lower back. Now, Black is looking to raise $17,000 so she'll be able to enroll in an experimental treatment in Europe. Black's fundraising campaign was launched on March 14, and she's already raised close to $14,000. Black's husband Stephen Eckelberry explains on the Gofundme page that the campaign is necessary, despite Black's successful career as an actress: "So here is the big question; why would someone like Karen need m

One in an occasional series of observational pieces keyed off the White House daily briefing. White House spokesman Josh Earnest scored a political point Monday when Reuters White House correspondent Jeff Mason asked whether the president would be watching the historic oral arguments on gay marriage at the Supreme Court this week. The Supreme Court “How is the White House watching this?” Mason asked. “Are you sending any staff to the hearings? Will the president be watching? Can you give us any color ahead of those hearings on that?” “Well, as you know, Jeff, the Supreme Court doesn’t actually televise the hearings, so it will impact our ability to watch it,” Earnest said, prompting laughter from the assembled reporters. “Touché,” Mason replied. “I’ll bet you could get a seat.” When Mason pressed on, asking whether anyone from the Obama administration would attend, Earnest was noncommittal. “I don’t know whether or not there will be administration — Obama administration staffers in t

Leann Rimes wears black leather shorts and ankle boots to stepson Jake's baseball game in Los Angeles, California on March 23, 2013. Is it possible to be both overdressed and underdressed at the same time? LeAnn Rimes was in a league of her own, fashion-wise, when she stepped out in L.A. wearing a pair of super-short shorts and heeled shoes to watch her stepson Jake play little league. The 30-year-old singer showed off her long, toned legs in black PVC (polyvinyl chloride) hot pants, paired with black suede ankle booties and a gray sweater with the number 78 printed on it. She looked happy and healthy as she walked with husband Eddie Cibrian and stepsons Mason, 9, and Jake, 5 -- despite having been out late the night before at her concert in Cabazon, Calif. "After the two hour drive home after my show last night, THIS is an early baseball game!" she tweeted the morning of March 23. "Happy Saturday!" A few hours later, she added: "Great game!!! Kids ro

Beyonce and Blue Ivy in Brooklyn, New York on March 24, 2013. Beyonce and daughter Blue Ivy spent some quality mother-daughter time together on Sunday, March 24, grabbing a bite to eat in Brooklyn -- though little Blue looked pretty tuckered out! In photos snapped just outside Buttermilk Channel restaurant on Court Street, the 31-year-old singer grinned as she toted little Blue Ivy, 14 months, out of the eatery. The superstar singer dressed casually for the family meal, wearing an oversized black hoodie and sunglasses, with her hair up in a topknot. The famous tot, meanwhile, showed off her early fashion sense with her hair in two little pigtails, snuggled into a camouflage hoodie, her two tiny feet dangling in Timberland boots. Dad Jay-Z, 43, was not on hand for the Carter women-only lunchtime excursion. "Family has always been important," Beyonce told the March issue of Vogue, calling Blue her "homey" and her "road dog." "I've always had my

Brandi Glanville In regards to her sex life, Brandi Glanville has nothing to hide. In the March 18 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Faye Resnick accused the 40-year-old model of having sex in Kyle Richards' daughter's bathroom during the clothing store owner's annual white party. Glanville set the record straight on her official Bravo blog March 22. "Faye, Faye, Faye. I think that she just makes things up in her head to get camera time. I wasn't found naked in a bathroom in any way, shape or form. I simply had a 10-second, fully clothed makeout session with a hot man," the single mother of two wrote March 22. "The only person that walked in was [Lisa Vanderpump] and she pulled me out of the bathroom by my ear like a good mum." The Drinking & Tweeting author added that she "dated that hot man for six months after 'bathroom gate'" and they are still close friends. "In fact, he is my real estate agent!
