Real Housewives Of NJ Reunion; Giuliana Rancic Has Breast Cancer

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Reunion kicked off and it was a ratings winner for Bravo TV!

All the wives minus Jacqueline Laurita were in attendance to rip Teresa Giudice apart. US Magazine listed their top 5 moments from the reunion part 1 and every single one of them included Teresa. The lucky no. 1 was Caroline Manzo taking a swing at the ‘relaxed, calm and cool like a whistle’ Teresa:

“I feel like I’m getting dumber as the minutes go on. I am in a whirlwind of stupid. I don’t understand what she’s doing. It doesn’t make sense to me. Nothing make sense … I should take my own advice, and my own advice two years ago was to get you out of my life, and I’m finally taking it.”

Earlier today, E! News contributor Giuliana Rancic sadly revealed today that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer during an interview on the Today Show.

Giuliana discovered the cancer after doctors noticed a tumor during her latest round of In-vitro fertilization. It’s been no secret that Giuliana and her husband Bill Rancic have been trying for some time to get pregnant.

“Through my attempt to get pregnant for the third time, we sadly found out that I have early stages of breast cancer. It’s been a shock. A lot of people have been asking, we saw that you went and got IVF, are you pregnant? But sadly, we’ve had to put that off.”

It turns out that this discovery was purely by chance given that Rancic had originally planned to wait until she was 40 to have a mammogram. Luckily however, her IVF doctor strongly encouraged her to get one before undergoing fertility treatment because pregnancy can accelerate the spread of any potential cancer.

Giuliana’s conception troubles have been well documented in her Style Network reality TV show Giuliana and Bill. Towards the end of the shows previous season, the then exhausted, but still hopeful couple, were going for their third round of In-vitro fertilization after the first ended in a miscarriage and the second failed to take.

Rancic also stated that she still plans to try to conceive after undergoing cancer treatment because her previous attempts may have ironically saved her life.

“I still want this baby … because this baby has saved my life. If I had gotten pregnant later down the line, I could have been a lot sicker.”

Giuliana’s says her husband Bill Rancic has been “unbelievable” thus far.

“The best thing about Bill is he lets me cry when I want to cry.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
