Al Roker explains absence from Today Show

Weatherman Al Roker raised some concerns when he wasn't on set for the Today Show this week. The morning staple had told us two years ago he had prostate cancer and people were fearful it was something to do with that.

But Al put the rumors to rest this morning posting a pretty scary answer to his Instagram. Seems he had blood clots in his legs and lungs!

“So many of you have been thoughtfully asking where I’ve been.
Last week I was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in my leg which sent some clots into my lungs,” he continued. “After some medical whack-a-mole, I am so fortunate to be getting terrific medical care and on the way to recovery.”

The 68-year-old concluded by thanking his fans for their “well-wishes and prayers,” adding, “Hope to see you soon. Have a great weekend, everyone.”

So there is no word on when he'll return, but at least we know he's getting the attention he needs!

Ellen flips yet another property

I've said it before. Montecito is the hottest celeb town in Southern California next to Hollywood itself. And one of the people buying and selling properties like hotcakes it Ellen Degeneres.

The Ex talk show host bought an adorable 1,900 square foot cottage just six months ago for $5.4m, but Ellens flip skills don't take very long. Dirt.com says they looked into it and can't necessarily see any changes at all to justify increasing the price $450k, but sometimes just having the Ellen name on a place makes it sellable.

Listing describes "Vaulted ceilings, divided light windows, and original built-ins nod to the home's 1915 origins while updated baths, kitchen, and finishes have a chic modern vibe."

Asking: $5,850,000 3 bds, 4bath, 1910 sq ft Guest cottage (includes furniture if desired)

Jimmy Fallon ask Elon to make death rumors stop on twitter!

It's a little convoluted but stick with me. On Tuesday Jimmy Fallon learned he was trending on Twitter in a less-than-desirable way. He was being presumed dead.

The hashtag #RIPJimmyFallon was trending on twitter in a meme that had people paying respect to the tv host but attaching a photo of a different celebrity.

It's actually quite amusing:

This seemed to concern Jimmy who then took the matter straight to Elon Musk, the troubled new owner of Twitter.

"Elon, Can you fix this? #RIPJimmyFallon" Jimmy text to the billionaire. "Fix What?" Elon responded.

It doesn't seem that Jimmy ever got satisfaction from Elon, but the matter has seemed to mostly die out. Jimmy was back to tweeting normally noting " It’s not family movie night until you remember way too late about that one scene."

The celeb clan of Brad Pitt, George and Amal Clooney and Randy Gerber and Cindy Crawford may have just added a sixth member.

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA - April 28, 2021: Jay Leno poses for a portrait with a Stanley Steamer car at his garage in Burbank. CREDIT: Philip Cheung for Penta

As you likely know, Jay Leno, 72, was at his Los Angeles mansion on Saturday when one of his many vehicles 'erupted into flames without warning' - with sources telling TMZ the left side of his face was burned.

Leno said: "I got some serious burns from a gasoline fire. I am ok. Just need a week or two to get back on my feet."

The host said that he was repairing a clogged fuel line when he got sprayed on his hands and face with gasoline.  

Leno was taken to the burn ward at Grossman Burn Center according to TMZ, with his eye and ear not affected by the fire. On Monday, Page Six reported that Leno may need skin grafts as a result of the burns. 

George Swift, a mechanic in the comedian's personal garage, told ET that it was a steam car that sent Leno to the hospital. 

"It was a steam car. This steam was made by gas. It got sprayed, as a gas,"
Swift, a mechanic who works at the garage, said.  

'He called me, and he told me there was a fire and the fire department is coming,' the employee continued. 

In a separate interview with Access Hollywood, Swift said that Leno is 'going to be fine.' He added: 'It's nothing life-threatening. He's in great spirits, but you know, it's going to take a while.'

Jojo Siwa calls out bigoted Candace Bure

A few months ago Jojo Siwa said Candace Cameron Bure was the meanest celeb she met. After talking to Candace, Jojo apologized, saying she was just a kid when she met Cameron and didn't understand celebs can't always stop and take photos.

But now she's got a real reason to feel offended and I back her at every turn.

Candace and her brother Kirk Cameron were both hot actors back in the 80s. She on full house and he the hunky star of Growing Pains. But the two became super christians soon after and since then they live like it's 1920.

Most recently Candace sat down with the Wall Street Journal and said she intends to "keep traditional marriage at the core" of her partnership with the Great American Family channel.

In other words, marriage between one man and one woman. And of course Jojo Siwa is a proud gay woman.

Siwa wrote on Instagram: "Honestly, I can't believe after everything that went down just a few months ago, that she would not only create a movie with intention of excluding LGBTQIA+, but then also talk about it in the press. This is rude and hurtful to a whole community of people."

Siwa's comment was applauded by fellow Dance Moms alum Maddie Ziegler, who commented, "go off jojo!!!!!!! ??????"

Go off indeed.

Banksy leaves mark on Ukraine

By now I imagine we're all familiar, on some level, with the artist Banksy. The unknown but wildly popular street artist whose satirical stencil graffiti command upwards of millions of dollars once they're pried from the walls they inhabit.

In recent years Banksy has taken to more indoor work and created for shows, but he's recently gone back to his roots of social commentary in places of great strife.

This month he was in Ukraine to express his frustration with Russias
unjust aggression.

One work echoes a David and Goliath situation to represent the two countries. Kids ride a seesaw on metal left from explosions. Ballerinas dance to provide some beauty in the war-torn region.

You knew it wouldn't be long before Pete 'Skete' Davidson found a lovely new lady on his arm. If you're keeping score, that's Ariana Grande, Kate Beckinsale, Kim Kardashian and now Emily Ratajkowski.

Emily only recently split from her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard. The two were together since 2018 and share 20 month old son, Sylvester.

Neither persons reps confirmed the rumor, but several "sources" say they've been spending lots of time together.

Nick Cannon has baby #12 and it’s costing him

Nick with some of his kids

I think we're all aware of Nick Cannon's goals of having as many children as his mighty sperm can create, but that comes with a hefty price tag.

Nick currently has 12 children. His ex girlfriend Alyssa Scott, 29, gave birth on 11/11/22. The two shared a son who tragically died of brain cancer at just 5 months old.

But all those baby mama's (one of whom is Mariah Carey, so we wont count her. She has her own money for the twins they share) need a place to raise that brood.

There are 6 mothers in all.

After reports recently pegged Cannon's annual child support payments at $3 million, Cannon publicly stated in an interview with The Neighborhood Talk that the heart-stopping estimate was actually low! 

"I definitely spend a lot more than that on my children annually,' he told The Neighborhood Talk. 'I don’t plan to ever have to participate in the governmental system."
