Snooki Urges Women To Prioritize Check-Ups Amid Cancer Diagnosis

In a new TikTok video, Nicole Polizzi gave fans an update on her health journey. She told viewers that doctors diagnosed her with stage 1 cervical cancer. While sharing the news, she urged women to get their Pap smears, explaining that the annual test caught the cancerous cells on her cervix. She also said she had been dealing with abnormal Pap smears for about three to four years now.

“It came back stage 1 cervical cancer called adenocarcinoma,” Snooki said in the clip. “Obviously not the news I’ve been hoping for, but also not the worst news just because they caught it so early.”

Additionally, Snooki told her followers that during her first colposcopy, doctors removed “a chunk of her cervix.” She then had a cone biopsy, where surgeons take out a cone-shaped wedge of abnormal tissue from the cervix. Polizzi also mentioned that her biopsy showed clear margins around the tumor, meaning the cancer hasn’t spread beyond the cervix yet, but there’s still a possibility that it can spread in her body.

Snooki said her next step will be a hysterectomy, and she’ll be able to keep her ovaries. Ultimately, her PET scan results will determine how she moves forward.

Snooki Shares The Emotional Moment She Found Out She Had Cervical Cancer

Nicole told fans about her appointments and diagnosis back in January. In a TikTok video, she said she had a feeling the results wouldn’t be good because she didn’t want to deal with the pain during appointments or the stress.

“The reason why my doctor’s on my a** all the time is because I waited. I waited on my damn appointments because I knew I might not get great results, but also because I didn’t want to feel the pain. I didn’t want to deal with the stress of having to deal with all of this,” Polizzi explained.

She said she decided to open up about her journey to spread awareness and encourage other women to keep up with their check-ups to prevent potential health scares.

“Just making this video to spread awareness to make sure you get your pap smears. And if your doctor calls you to do it again, do it.” She added, “Make sure you’re fine and prevent all the bad things that could happen, like cervical cancer.”

Eric Dane’s friends have launched a GoFundMe campaign in support of his family after the actor died at age 53 following a battle with ALS.

The campaign, which has a target of $250,000, aims to raise money for the Grey’s Anatomy star’s daughters Billie, 15, and Georgia, 14. Dane, who died on Thursday, February 19, shared Billie and Georgia with wife Rebecca Gayheart.

“It is with profound sadness that we share the loss of Eric Dane after a hard-fought battle with ALS, leaving behind his devoted wife, Rebecca, and his two teenage daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world,” the GoFundMe description reads.

Dane first publicly shared he had been diagnosed with ALS in April 2025. The GoFundMe, which has been confirmed as authentic by Us Weekly, detailed the actor’s advocacy for raising awareness of the disease during his health battle.

Eric Dane’s wife, Rebecca Gayheart, says the couple’s two daughters are “taking it day by day” amid his ALS battle. “We have some professional therapists who are helping us, and we’re just trying to have some hope and do it with dignity, grace and love,” Gayheart, 54, told People in an interview published on Saturday, […]

“Following his diagnosis, Eric became a passionate spokesperson for the ALS community, using his voice and platform to advocate for fellow patients and to push for greater awareness. Even as his own health declined, he remained deeply committed to helping others facing the same devastating disease. As his illness progressed far more quickly than anyone could have imagined, Eric’s friends have come together to create this GoFundMe to support his girls and their future needs,” the description continued.

It concluded, “Any contribution, no matter the size, will help provide stability during this incredibly difficult time and in the future for Eric’s wonderful daughters.”

Dane’s family confirmed on Thursday that the Euphoria star died following a battle with ALS.

“He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world,” the statement read. “Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered always.”

The statement concluded: “Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”

Speaking in his final interview, Famous Last Words, which was released on Netflix one day after his death, Dane shared messages for his daughters to hear.

“Billie and Georgia, these words are for you. I tried,” Dane said. “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. Those days, pun intended, were heaven.”

Dane went on to share that he had learned several things about life from battling ALS and wanted to impart those lessons on his daughters after he was gone.

“I wanna tell you four things I’ve learned from this disease, and I hope you won’t just listen to me. I hope you’ll hear me,” he said. “First, live now, right now, in the present. It’s hard, but I learned to do that. 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.”

Dane also advised Billie and Georgia to “fall in love.”

“Not necessarily fall in love with a person, although I do recommend that as well,” he quipped. “Fall in love with something. Find your passion, your joy [and] find the thing that makes you wanna get up in the morning, drives you through the entire day. I fell in love for the first time when I was about your age. I fell in love with acting.”

General Hospital reports that Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) set to be exposed for her crimes pretty soon. And Detective Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) is about to be in a lot of hot water at the PCPD even sooner than that.

So, both Willow and Chase’s lives are about to blow up spectacularly, and they may be forced out soon. We’re going to talk about the fallout for Willow and Chase, and why they might end up leaving Port Charles together.

Harrison Chase Faces the PCPD Heat Over Michael Corinthos’ Keys on General Hospital

So, next week we’re going to pick back up with Commissioner Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and DA Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) finding out what Chase did. Except the thing is they don’t exactly know what he did and they’re blaming the wrong guy. He didn’t do the exact right thing, but he didn’t do the really wrong thing.

He’s going to take the heat for it, though. And just by the way, this is picking up next week because Friday is the whole big Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) episode. Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) told Dante and the DA that he has an eyewitness who saw Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) keys in Chase’s hands.

Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos Spills the Truth About Willow Tait’s Frame-Up Plan on GH

I knew Wiley Quartermaine Corinthos (Viron Weaver) was going to spill the beans. You can always count on GH kids to rat out guilty adults. You guys know that Chase swiped Michael Corinthos’s keys just to check and see if one fit the door of Drew Cain Quartermaine‘s (Cameron Mathison) house. Of course it did because Willow planted the copy of her and Drew’s house key onto Michael Corinthos’s keyring.

It’s the key, by the way, that Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) copied from Scout Cain’s (Cosette Abinante) key. So, she might recognize it. If you remember, Tracy handed it over to Martin Gray (Michael E. Knight) when she let herself into Drew’s house and then Willow got it from him. So, that was when Tracy came to steal back the Quartermaine heirlooms.

But, this is all part of Willow’s plan to frame Michael Corinthos for Drew’s shooting. So, it’s kind of ironic that Willow’s kid, Wiley, blabbed the truth and just caused a big wrinkle in his mom’s plan. Michael was shocked to hear Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) say they found Drew’s house key on Michael’s key ring.

Thankfully, Ric Lansing was there and he shut it down fast. And also, thankfully, Wiley told Ric that his uncle Chase had his dad Michael’s keys. So, Ric dropped off the kids to Willow and headed over to save Michael from walking into a trap.

Dante Falconeri and Michael Corinthos Confront Harrison Chase’s Betrayal

So, I’m guessing Ric, Michael, Dante, and DA Turner are all going to blame Chase. Turner already chewed Chase a new one for testifying at Willow’s trial that he thinks the PCPD screwed up. That’s why Dante busted him down to beat cop.

And they know Chase was running his own little side investigation into Drew’s shooting while Willow was on trial. To make things worse, Dante Falconeri recently asked Chase if he could count on him to stay out of Michael’s investigation and follow orders. And Chase lied right to Dante’s face.

He also told Michael he should be in jail for this. Now, in defense of Chase, he did not plant the key on Michael’s key ring. He was just auditing what keys were there. But I’m guessing Ric and Dante and Michael and DA Justine Turner are all going to assume that it was Chase that planted the key on Michael Corinthos’s key ring.

Chase is also the reason that Nathan went to look at Michael’s keys. If you remember, Nathan offered up the info that it was Chase who prompted him to check Michael’s key ring for a key to see if he had a way to access Drew’s house. That’s another reason that Dante and the others will assume that Chase himself planted the key.

Brook Lynn Quartermaine Slams the Brakes on Adoption and Marriage on General Hospital

This all comes back to bite Brook Lynn Quartermaine’s (Amanda Setton) husband next week. And I honestly expect Chase to be fired on the spot. And Dante is going to be furious both as the police commissioner and as Chase’s friend at what he sees is a major betrayal.

The timing is so bad for this because Brook Lynn just told Chase they can start the adoption process. So, right away they called Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) over to talk to her about helping them start their family. I also expect that BLQ is going to slam the brakes on that and tell Chase she can’t do it.

They cannot start a family. Not while he is still fixated on Willow and obsessed with taking down Michael Corinthos, who Brook Lynn 100% thinks is innocent – and he is. Chase has been pushing Brook Lynn too far with this complete and utter and ridiculous devotion to Willow. And this might be the final straw for BLQ, especially because Michael is her family.

General Hospital Casting Rumors: Is Josh Swickard Leaving GH?

So, we shared a leak from our trusted source a while back that said Josh Swickard was going to be leaving General Hospital. Now, this is not confirmed. This is a leak or rumor, not a spoiler, but watching what’s going on with Chase right now, it makes sense that he might leave Port Charles in disgrace.

I expect he’s going to lose his job, lose his bestie Dante, and Brook Lynn might even demand a separation over this stunt, possibly even a divorce. And you know, Chase is going to try and explain he didn’t plant the key, but he did break the chain of evidence and violated a bunch of things by taking Michael keys over to see if there was a fit. But it’s also suspicious.

I don’t think anybody is going to give Harrison Chase the benefit of the doubt except Willow Tait. Of course, she will give him all kinds of sympathy while she’s also frustrated that her plan didn’t work. Also, and just by the way, Josh Swickard and his wife, Lauren Swickard, are expecting baby number three.

Their new addition is due any day now. So maybe Josh Swickard wants to take a break and spend time with his family on their farm and step away from GH. Because even if he does leave as Chase, that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t return at some point if it pans out that way.

General Hospital: Drew Cain Quartermaine’s Rescue Leads to Willow Tait’s Downfall in Port Charles

As for Katelyn MacMullen, I’ve not heard anything about her leaving GH, but Willow’s fate seems equally dubious right now. I think Drew Cain is going to get a visitor who knows Morse code, and he’s going to blink his way to a rescue that exposes his wicked wife, Willow.

Drew tried and failed to communicate with Alexis, but I think he’ll try with somebody else. And GH may be looking to expose Willow as the congressional thing picks up steam. If she’s going to try and take Drew’s seat in Congress, that might be when and how Willow’s exposed, during a press conference or a debate or something, so it’s public and messy.

Alexis is interested in the seat, so it may be a “who’s going to get it” kind of deal. There was a recent interview where the actress was talking about that when Willow is found out and she’s exposed, it is the very worst moment of her life. I fully suspect Michael could take the kids and try to keep Willow from ever seeing them again.

Unless it’s visitation through plexiglass at Pentonville. They can’t prosecute her for shooting Drew; that would be double jeopardy. But drugging him into paralysis, that’s definitely something. And they might even be able to stretch it to attempted murder.

But there might be a deal cut where she leaves town to avoid charges. Some kind of deal she cuts with Drew. Maybe that would be better than prison. I’m sure from Willow’s perspective. I don’t see how in the fallout she’ll keep access to her kids.

Will Harrison Chase and Willow Tait Leave General Hospital Together?

And since Willow and Chase are both about to be named and shamed, things look dire for both of them. What’s crazy is what happens to him is totally Willow’s fault because Chase is just under her spell or something.

So much so that Willow may insist to Chase that she’s innocent of these accusations, too. And he might be the one person in Port Charles who actually believes Willow. We’ve all seen Chase is absolutely blind when it comes to Willow. And honestly, I think he’ll believe anything she tells him.

So, when both Chase and Willow’s lives come crashing down around them, will they leave town together in an epic walk of shame? I think it would be a really interesting twist. We’ll see how it goes.

Josh Brolin is one of the most underrated A-list stars in the world, and although he only has one Oscar nomination under his belt, many would argue that he deserves a few more. Brolin’s lone Oscar nomination came from starring opposite Sean Penn in Milk (2008), but he also delivered one of his finest performances the year prior in No Country for Old Men, which also stars Tommy Lee Jones and Javier Bardem. Brolin is held in high regard for his commanding performances in a pair of Sicario movies penned by Taylor Sheridan, and he dipped his toe into the blockbuster world by starring as Thanos in several Avengers movies. Rumors have it that he’ll be back in Doomsday later this year, but this has yet to be confirmed.

However, when you’ve been in as many movies as Josh Brolin, it’s only natural that there will be some misses mixed in. 16 years ago, Brolin teamed up with Megan Fox, John Malkovich, and even Michael Fassbender for Jonah Hex, the wacky sci-fi Western following an outlaw who has a chance to clear his name if he finds a dangerous criminal. Jonah Hex grossed only $10 million at the box office against a $47 million budget, and it earned disastrous scores of 11% from critics and 20% from audiences on the aggregator site Rotten Tomatoes. Jonah Hex is currently streaming on HBO Max, but unfortunately, the streamer has confirmed that the last day to watch the film will be on February 28. HBO Max is its only streaming home, but it’s unclear where it will migrate once it leaves the platform.

What Is Streaming on HBO Max Right Now?

HBO Max has several hit movies charting in its top 10 right now. M3GAN 2.0, the sci-fi hit that ended the M3GAN franchise, is charting in the top 10 right now, along with Cillian Murphy’s most iconic horror movie, 28 Days Later. The legacy sequel to Murphy’s horror hit, 28 Years Later, is also charting in the HBO Max global top 10 right now. HBO has plenty of popular TV shows sitting in the top 10 right now, such as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms and The Pitt. Heated Rivalry continues to dominate streaming on HBO.

Be sure to watch Jonah Hex before it leaves HBO Max at the end of this month, and stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.

The Euphoria cast is honoring costar Eric Dane after his death at age 53 following a battle with ALS.

Dane, who played Jacob Elordi’s father, Cal, since season 1, announced his diagnosis shortly before production began on the show’s final episodes.

“I have been diagnosed with ALS,” he said in an April 2025 statement ahead of season 3. “I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter. I feel fortunate that I am able to continue working and am looking forward to returning to set of Euphoria next week. I kindly ask that you give my family and I privacy during this time.”

After his death, an HBO spokesperson paid tribute to Dane in a statement, writing, “We are deeply saddened by the news of Eric Dane’s passing. He was incredibly talented and HBO was fortunate to have worked with him on three seasons of Euphoria. Our thoughts are with his loved ones during this difficult time.”

Dane’s family confirmed his death on Thursday, February 19, in a statement to Us Weekly. “With heavy hearts, we […]

Euphoria, which premiered in 2019, originally followed troubled high school student Rue (Zendaya) as she struggled to remain sober after rehab. The hit HBO series was quickly renewed for a second season after its premiere, but it took nearly three years for the episodes to air.

Season 3 was originally set to air on HBO in 2025 before facing several obstacles, including creator Sam Levinson’s commitment to his short-lived series The Idol. The dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, which took place in late 2023, prolonged the delay.

Euphoria ultimately went into production later that year. Since season 2 concluded, the cast went through more loss when Angus Cloud died at age 25 in July 2023 following an accidental overdose.

Dane, meanwhile, was candid about his attempts to keep working despite the difficult battle with ALS.

“I’m not about to concede my purpose to some disease. I just am not capable of doing that,” he said in a November 2025 panel discussion in conjunction with I AM ALS. “I have no reason to be in a good spirit at any time, on any given day. I don’t think anybody would blame me if I went upstairs in my bedroom, crawled under the sheets, and spent the next two weeks crying. And I was a little bit pleasantly surprised when I realized that I wasn’t built like that, because I thought for sure that was gonna be me.”

Euphoria will return for its third and final season on April 12, with the show expected to pay tribute to both Cloud and Dane.
