“Good Morning America” anchor Robin Roberts has revealed in a heartfelt post on her Facebook page that she is gay.

Roberts has been publicly battling myelodysplastic syndrome for the last year, and on the 29th of December celebrated 100 days since her much needed bone marrow transplant.

She posted a thank you on her Facebook page, and included the line, “I am grateful for my entire family, my long time girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together.”

Although it is apprently no secret in the industry that Roberts has been in a relationship with Amber for ten years, this is the first time she had publicly acknowledged her same-sex reltionship.

Her employer CNN responded with this statement: “We love Robin and Amber, who we have all known for a long time. We were so touched by Robin’s Facebook message today and so thankful for all the loving support she has in her life.”

Here is Robin Roberts’ heartfelt message in full:

Flashback 12/29/12….Hard to believe this was 1 year ago today..when I reached a critical milestone of 100 days post transplant…and KJ was finally allowed to come back home.

Reading this comforts me and I hope the same for you: “If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.”

At this moment I am at peace and filled with joy and gratitude.

I am grateful to God, my doctors and nurses for my restored good health.

I am grateful for my sister, Sally-Ann, for being my donor and giving me the gift of life.

I am grateful for my entire family, my long time girlfriend, Amber, and friends as we prepare to celebrate a glorious new year together.

I am grateful for the many prayers and well wishes for my recovery. I return every one of them to you 100 fold.

On this last Sunday of 2013 I encourage you to reflect on what you are grateful for too.

Wishing you a Healthy and Happy New Year.

Peace, love, and blessings to all..XO

Lily Allen hates all other pop stars for being the worst.


Lily Allen has posed for the cover of UK Esquire:

But it’s what she says inside that has everybody talking. She basically hates pop stars for not being bad and taking lots of drugs. We think. Take a look:

“I feel like when I was growing up and dreaming of being a pop star, it was the days of Britpop when things felt authentic and anarchic and people were taking drugs and having a lot of fun and having sex with each other. So excuse me if I found it a bit disappointing when I arrived and it was a bunch of sterile fucking Botoxed idiots that stank of desperation.”

A little harsh?

 

Chloe Moretz is being bribed to win Oscars.


Chloe Moretz

You know Chole Moretz, the girl that starred in Hugo and Kick Ass and bunch of other films? Well, she’s only 16, so producers have to file legal documents to get permission to work with her. Which obviously means they wanted TMZ inveade her privacy by reading them and telling everybody what she gets paid.

Which they did. Immediately. And admittedly, it’s pretty interesting how much a 16-year-old can rake in these days.

For her upcoming film If I Stay, Moretz gets a $500 000 base salary. She gets an addtional $1 miilion or 25% of the film’s profits when it is released.

Pretty standard (you know, leaving aside the fact she is only SIXTEEN).

But the most interesting part of her contract is the bonus she gets for winning awards: $25 grand if she’s nominated for on Oscar, and another $25 grand if she wins.

50 thousand bucks is a pretty big incentive to learn your lines.
