Deion Sanders linked to Chris Brown's ex Karreuche Tran after she was spotted with him during cancer treatment
Deion Sanders has sparked romance rumors with Karrueche Tran after the stunning actress and model was seen by his side in hospital before he recently underwent bladder surgery. Sanders, 57, revealed on Monday that he was forced to have his bladder removed earlier this year after being diagnosed with cancer. The Colorado football coach and NFL icon confirmed he is now cancer free following the op, which saw doctors completely eliminate the tumor before creating a new bladder. In a video shared on the family's YouTube channel, 'Well Off Media', Sanders is captured in his hospital room before undergoing the procedure - and an emotional Tran, 37, is sitting right next to him. The Hollywood star, who previously dated Chris Brown, is visibly upset in the clip while explaining what Deion is about to go through and why. 'We are at the hospital because we are dealing with...' she says before bursting into tears. Tran eventually continues: 'We are dealing with bladder cancer, and he is having his bladder removed, and they will create a new bladder with one of his intestines. This option was I guess the best because it fully removes the cancer to ensure that it doesn't come back because it was close to his muscle. 'So yeah, we are here to fully remove the bladder.' The camera then pans to Sanders on his phone before he adds about his NFL-rookie sons Shedeur and Shilo: 'I'm texting the boys. It's their first day of practice today, and I'm excited.' Deion and Karrueche have been linked for a number of months after they were spotted together eating on a lunch date earlier this year. Tran's most famous previous relationship came when she began dating R&B icon Brown back in 2011, before they briefly split when he reconnected with his ex-girlfriend Rihanna a year later. In 2013 the pair rekindled their romance for another two years, only for it to end on a sour note when Brown was accused of sending her threatening text messages and voicemails. A judge granted Tran a five-year restraining order against him in 2017 after she shared evidence of the messages in court, while she also alleged that he punched her in the stomach twice and pushed her down the stairs. She also briefly dated Migos rapper Quavo, which came before a longer-term relationship with former NFL star Victor Cruz from 2017-21. Tran previously dated R&B icon Chris Brown on-and-off for the best part of four years As for Sanders, he has been married twice to first wife Carolyn Chambers, with whom he had daughter Deiondra and son Deion Jr, before tying the knot again with Pilar Biggers-Sanders - the mother of Shilo, Shedeur and another daughter in Shelomi. Following his divorce from Pilar, Deion was also previously engaged to Tracey Edmonds before they called it off in 2019. In a press conference with his doctor on Monday, Sanders shared that he is now cancer-free after being diagnosed with bladder cancer earlier this year. 'You were such a blessing,' he said to Dr. Janet Kukreja, who was sat next to him. 'Guiding me to, taking me through, verbalizing every darn detail so that I can make an educated decision.'

CNN 'fact checks' Trump's hyperbolic claim that Beyoncé was paid $11 million for campaign endorsement
A CNN fact check poured cold water on President Donald Trump 's claim that Kamala Harris ' campaign paid megastar Beyoncé $11 million for an endorsement. The famous singer endorsed Harris at a campaign rally in Houston just weeks before the election last November in a last-minute bid to jolt support for the Democratic nominee. Trump has alleged that Harris's political team illegally paid for the support, and that they should be prosecuted for it. 'I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the presidential e lection, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, eleven million dollars to singer Beyoncé for an endorsement (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!)' Trump wrote on Saturday. The Truth Social post also alleged that Oprah Winfrey was paid $3 million for 'expenses' and MSNBC's Al Sharpton was given $600,000. 'These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records,' Trump claimed. 'You are not allowed to pay for an endorsement. It is totally illegal to do so.' 'Can you imagine what would happen if politicians started paying for people to endorse them. All hell would break out! Kamala, and all of those that received Endorsement money, broke the law. They should all be prosecuted!' However, an article from CNN's fact checker Daniel Dale asserted that Trump's allegation was baseless. Evidence of the $11 million payment has not been reported. The White House did not respond to the Daily Mail's request for evidence of the multi-million dollar payment. Harris' campaign has denied paying for endorsements and Beyoncé's mother, Tina Knowles, has called the allegations a 'lie.' 'Beyonce did not receive a penny for speaking at a presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harrris' (sic) Rally in Houston,' Knowles wrote on her Instagram. According to an Federal Election Commission (FEC) filing, Harris' campaign payed the signer's production company, Parkwood Production Media, $165,000 for 'campaign event production.' Additionally, a spokesperson for Harris' campaign said last year that the political operation did not pay for celebrity endorsements, but they did concede that they had to cover costs associated with the production, like staff and equipment. Another denial came when a spokesperson for Beyoncé told PolitiFact last year that the claim the singer was paid millions was 'beyond ridiculous.' Harris' campaign paid a non-profit led by Sharpton a total of $500,000, FEC filings show. The Democrat's political operation also paid Harpo Productions, a company owned by Oprah, $1 million for a live stream event. Trump last spoke about the alleged endorsement payment in February. 'They go out and they pay Beyoncé, as an example. Somebody just showed me something. They gave her $11 million,' the president said at the time. In a May post on Truth Social the president again slammed the alleged payment to Beyoncé while also suggesting that Bruce Springsteen accepted money for his performance at a Harris rally. 'I am going to call for a major investigation into this matter. Candidates aren't allowed to pay for endorsements, which is what Kamala did, under the guise of paying for entertainment,' the president wrote. Neither the White House nor Congress have announced probes into the endorsement, which obviously did not move enough votes into Harris' column come Election Day.

Janice Dickinson, 70, posed for Playboy while dating stars like Rob Lowe and Sylvester Stallone... see her now
is a 70-year-old supermodel from the 1980s who used to have the world on a string. The siren was one of the world's top talents, appearing on the covers of Harper's Bazaar, Cosmopolitan and Vogue. The brunette bombshell also posed for Playboy magazine. Dickinson was a top choice to pose for high-end fashion houses such as Versace, Oscar de la Renta and Calvin Klein. And the Brooklyn native was savvy enough to turn her modeling career into TV work: She was a judge on America's Next Top Model and appeared on the fourth season of Celebrity Rehab With Dr. Drew. Janice was also the star of her own reality TV series, The Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency that ran from 2006 to 2008, named after the business she opened in 2005. The No Lifeguard On Duty author was seen running errands alone in Los Angeles on Sunday. Dickinson had on a navy blue short-sleeved T-shirt with cut-off blue denim shorts as she left a drugstore with plastic bags. The mannequin added a beige visor and black sunglasses with white sneakers as she held onto a water bottle. She's currently married to Dr Robert 'Rocky' Gerner, an LA-based psychiatrist. They tied the knot in 2016 after Dickinson revealed that she had beaten breast cancer. She went through a six-month course of radiation and two lumpectomies. Dickinson has a wild romantic past that involved a big Hollywood star. In 1994, Sylvester Stallone and Dickinson had a fling while he was in a relationship with his now-wife Jennifer Flavin. They met a year prior at a charity event and Stallone eventually left Flavin to be with the top model. They got engaged but Stallone called it off six months later after learning that he was not the father of her daughter Savannah, who was born in February 1994, as per The Mirror. It was later revealed that businessman Michael Birnbaum, whom Dickinson dated in the early 1990s, was Savannah's biological father. Stallone rekindled his relationship with Flavin in 1995 and they tied the knot 1997. Dickinson hasn't been shy about her love of plastic surgery, having previously spent thousands of dollars on procedures to defy the aging process. In June she talked to Kaitlyn Bristowe's Off The Vine podcast. Janice said that she got her very first cosmetic surgery at age 32 while dating Stallone. 'What point in your career were you like, "I'm gonna start getting surgery done?"' Bristowe asked. 'Oh, gosh. I was dating Sylvester Stallone, and I was 32,' Dickinson replied. 'I noticed I started getting jowls...' To tackle the issue, Dickinson got a 'mini face-lift' done. A mini face-lift is meant to address early signs of aging as it corrects sagging on the lower third of the face. It requires smaller incisions than a regular face-lift, minimal downtime and the results can last up to 10 years. Dickinson recommended that Bristowe — who she said she felt she was 'at that age' where jowls start to become a concern — should also go the mini face-lift route. 'Get a mini face lift. It kept me going up until last week when I noticed [my lip lines]. I did smoke for a bit. Don't smoke. It's bad for you,' she said. The star was seen running errands alone in Los Angeles on Sunday When asked if she 'regrets' any of her past surgeries, Dickinson replied: 'Oh, no.' Dickinson is an open book when it comes to her cosmetic procedures. She previously admitted on E!'s Botched that she's 'no stranger to plastic surgery' as she's previously undergone a boob job, a tummy tuck, neck and face-lifts and liposuction. She's also tried injectables like Botox but insists that her plump pout is natural. In 2013, Dickinson declared herself bankrupt owing almost $1 million in taxes and unpaid cosmetic bills. At the time of her bankruptcy filing, the star owed $8,000 to Beverly Hills dermatologist Arnold Klein and over $8,000 in debt to the Beverly Hills Anti-Aging Center. In 2007 her son Nathan said he was desperate for her to stop, but she said: 'I won't do any more plastic surgery – if he's looking.' In 2015 she appeared on Botched to fix a breast enlargement done 30 years prior which had left her with rippling across her breasts.
