Robin Roberts publicly reveals she is gay.
“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
Anne Hathaway left poo on a photographer’s car because she wins at life.
Hathaway was out walking her dog and being followed by pesky paparazzi, so when her canine friend did his business, she put it in its little bag and left it on the photographer’s car:
Then she just walked away, like a real badass.

The story of Lisa Niemi was on our news last night ! Really ! How did this become news good luck to her but I hardly care ! I thought Patrick was her soul mate !
I agree it is not news, however does her remarrying make Patrick not her soul mate? Does she need to spend the rest of her life alone to prove that he was?
Am i the only one who feels sorry for Justin Beiber? I agree his behaviour isn't exactly... humble. Even likable. However surely such mega-stardom does little to help a person, and i see his self-destructive behaviour as just that. I suspect he's not a very happy young man and feel sad for him.
