'I'm losing my memory': 'Bachelorette' star shares update on breast cancer battle
'I'm losing my memory': 'Bachelorette' star shares update on breast cancer battle Show Caption Hide Caption Younger women diagnosed with breast cancer focus on the future Katie Thurston says breast cancer is affecting her memory. Nearly four months after the "Bachelorette" alum announced she was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer, which has since progressed to stage four, Thurston shared she has been dealing with challenging side effects as she continues to receive treatment for the disease. 'I'm losing my memory,' Thurston, 34, said in a June 1 video posted to Instagram. 'Going through customs and them being like, 'Where are you coming from?' And I looked at him and I was like, 'I don't remember. I don't remember.'' Thurston, who married comedian Jeff Arcuri earlier this year, said in another instance she got into 'little disagreement' with her husband without being able to fully remember the basis of her arguments. 'I was like, 'This has happened before,'' Katie recalled telling Jeff. 'He was like, 'When?' I was like, 'I don't know but I know it has!'' 'We're able to laugh about it now,' she continued. 'Cancer is (expletive). Sometimes I'm like, 'Stop feeling bad for yourself.' Other times I'm like, 'You're allowed to feel bad for yourself. Cancer (expletive) sucks.'' It's not only her memory that has been affected. Thurston said her hair has also been 'coming out in an unnatural amount of clumps.' 'Fingers crossed' Despite the challenges, Thurston says she is staying "optimistic." The reality TV star had decided to move forward with histotripsy, a non-invasive treatment for liver tumors, at New York University. 'I just finished my second month of treatment and if you're asking how long treatment is, technically forever,' Katie said. 'I am optimistic about medical advancements in the future. Fingers crossed as a stage 4 girly.' She added: 'It's National Cancer Survivors Day. Every day that I'm alive, I'm a survivor. So go me, I guess.' The Season 17 star, who first appeared on Season 25 of "The Bachelor," also revealed she opted for medically induced menopause last month, but the medication meant to suppress her hormones didn't work. While the plan now is to switch to another medication, but if that doesn't work out, she might have to 'get my ovaries taken out.' 'Not ideal,' she admitted. 'But the vacation was nice. Now I'm back at it again in New York City trying to live my best life as a (expletive) cancer patient.' 'Discovered it myself' Thurston first revealed she was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2025, saying she grew concerned when she discovered a small lump in her breast during the summer of 2024. News of Katie's diagnosis came five months after she got engaged to Arcuri, a comedian she met through Instagram in the spring of 2024. "I discovered it myself," "The Bachelorette" alum had said on Instagram. "Thought maybe it was my period. Maybe it was muscle soreness from working out." Thurston, who previously had a benign cyst removed from the same breast when she was 20, assumed the new lump was something similar. However, when it didn't go away, she decided to get it checked out thinking "it was going to be nothing." "I was wrong," Thurston said, adding her worst fears were confirmed after a series of tests including a mammogram and biopsy. 'Worst feeling' ever Later, during an appearance on "Good Morning America," Thurston said the moment she got the news she had breast cancer was "the worst feeling I've ever felt." "You're so devastated. It's so shocking. As a 34-year-old woman, you're not prepared," Thurston, whose family doesn't have a history of breast cancer, said on the show. In March 2025, less than a week after she and Arcuri tied the knot, Thurston shared her cancer had metastasized and a recent PET scan detected "spots on my liver that were a little suspicious." After undergoing another biopsy, it was confirmed the cancer had spread to her liver. "It is fairly small; however, that does put me at stage IV," she said. "I know stage IV can sound very scary and it can be; however, given that I am triple positive and the spots on my liver are fairly small and detected early, I feel very optimistic on my outcome. I'm very confident in my team at Columbia." Thurston relocated from Los Angeles to New York City for her treatment and transferred her care to a new medical team. Supporting others Thurston aims to document her journey to recovery in the hope of helping others. "One thing I did early on was search other stories like mine," Thurston had said in her initial announcement. "Other young women with breast cancer. Invasive ductal carcinoma. Mastectomy. Pregnancy after breast cancer. All of their stories helped. So I intend to be the same for others. This is day one of sharing and is going to be a long one. This first step of acceptance of my reality was the hardest. But I am ready to fight this." Saman Shafiq is a trending news reporter for USA TODAY.

Amitabh Bachchan may step down as Kaun Banega Crorepati host, this actor may replace him, his name is..., not Shah Rukh Khan, Anil Kapoor
Kaun Banega Crorepati has been one of the iconic quiz shows loved by the audience. Except for its third season, KBC has been hosted by Amitabh Bachchan. However, now as per reports, KBC 17, which will be the upcoming season of the show, will not be hosted by Amitabh Bachchan but another actor. While many may think that Shah Rukh Khan, who hosted the third season of the quiz show, will now host the 17th season — let us tell you, he is not the person. In a major shake-up, reports claim that Amitabh Bachchan has stepped down from the position of host due to his personal reasons. While Sony TV is yet to confirm the report, speculations that are making noise claim that it will be Salman Khan, who will replace Big B as the new host for Season 17. As per a report by Bollywood Hungama, Bhaijaan of Bollywood – Salman Khan is in talks with the makers of the show, and once everything goes as planned, then Salman, who dominated the small screen with his reality show Bigg Boss, will associate his name with KBC. A source quoted in the report stated, 'Salman is the king of the small screen and has a strong connect with the audience in smaller centres. If everything goes well, he could take the show by storm.' Interestingly, just a few weeks earlier, Sony TV had shared a promotional video on April 4 featuring Amitabh Bachchan, teasing his return. The promo showed Big B as a patient who had a stomach ache, playfully suggesting the return of the show. Not only that, he encouraged fans to register via SonyLIV. It will be interesting to see if Salman replaces Amitabh in the show or not. KBC Season 17 is expected to start in August 2025.

The Abbott Elementary/It's Always Sunny Crossover Continues: Watch the New Trailer
The post The Abbott Elementary/It's Always Sunny Crossover Continues: Watch the New Trailer appeared first on Consequence. In January, ABC audiences got to see the first part of a promised two-part crossover event between Abbott Elementary and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, as characters from the two very different comedies (which happen to be owned by the same mega-conglomerate and set in the same city) got the chance to mingle on school grounds. This summer, FX's turn is coming, as seen in this first look trailer for It's Always Sunny Season 17, spotlighting the Gang's antics while on the Abbott premises. In just 40 seconds, the new trailer teases that Charlie (Charlie Day), Frank (Danny Devito), and Dennis (Glenn Howerton) are working on starting a boy band (using the literal boys attending Abbott Elementary) while Mac (Rob McElhenney) literally steals sweets from the kids. There are also brief appearances from Mr. Johnson (William Stanford Davis), Gregory (Tyler James Williams), and Janine (Quinta Brunson) — the latter of whom has strong opinions about the school's new 'volunteers.' That fits, given that in the first part, the Abbott episode 'Volunteers,' the school's staff didn't gel well with the proprietors of Paddy's Pub (even though Charlie did learn to read). This trailer is also our first look at the return of It's Always Sunny since Season 16 aired in the summer of 2023. Per the YouTube description, 'In Season 17 of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the Gang craves money and parasitic social privileges. That's been plain since 2005. But they're also human beings. They crave love, respect, conditional freedom, constant adulation, histrionic amounts of attention, non-stop gratification, and unfiltered, slaphappy eroticism.' We'll look forward to finding out just what 'unfiltered, slaphappy eroticism' means when It's Always Sunny returns to FX on July 9th, 2025. Check out the trailer below.

Hundreds compete for Shark Tank spots at the Philly open casting call
The Shark Tank team has its work cut out for it in Philadelphia. Hundreds of entrepreneurs showed up on Friday at Rivers Casino for the ABC product pitch show to audition for a spot in Season 17 and the possibility of a deal with one of the celebrity 'shark' investors. We don't have an official number of the entrepreneur hopefuls who showed up, but the casino announced that its event space had exceeded capacity, and the group would be split into two to accommodate everyone. And the line was long, snaking through two aisles of the parking garage that led into the event space. We didn't get to go past the registration area to see the pitches, but we did meet some of the entrepreneurs in line — some local, some from out of town. Keep scrolling to see some of the entrepreneurs who came out. Who knows, maybe we'll see some of them on TV facing the sharks!

Drag Race's Top 4 RuVealed: Which Queen Will Win Season 17? And Who Should Win?
And then there were four. Following a dramatic lip sync battle to Diana Ross & the Supremes' 'Love Child,' Suzie Toot was sent tapping into oblivion on Friday's episode of RuPaul's Drag Race, leaving just four queens in the running to win Season 17. Participating in the grand finale on April 18 (MTV, 8/7c), we have the polished Jewels Sparkles, the versatile Lexi Love, the hilarious Onya Nurve and the stunning Sam Star — a perfect Top 4, as far as I'm concerned. In fact, it would be hard to argue that any other queens belong in this elite group, though I'm sure Suzie is currently writing a one-woman show about how she was wrongfully eliminated. More from TVLine Liza Minnelli Making Drag Race Debut in Season 17 Grand Finale - First Look Drag Race's Latest Twist Ending Was Predicted by Daya Betty Who Is Drag Race's 'Piggy of the Week'? It Doesn't Mean What You Think! (Exclusive Sneak Peek) So, which queen do we think will snatch the crown? Looking at the numbers, Onya leads the pack with four challenge wins, followed by Sam with three, and Lexi and Jewels with two. But just like the final round of Mario Party, it doesn't matter how many stars you've earned along the way — anyone can come out a winner, baby. That's because the finale is a non-stop lip sync battle, and we know that all four of these queens can hold their own on the dance floor. We've seen Sam, Jewels and Onya wipe the floor with other queens to keep themselves in the competition (twice for Sam and Jewels). And while Lexi has never had to battle for her life, per se, we did see her lip sync against Crystal Envy in the season premiere — and she's good. It depends on which queens are paired together in the lip syncs, but my prediction is that either Onya or Lexi will be named America's Next Drag Superstar, and I wouldn't object to either outcome. To me, Onya has always carried herself as someone who believes she's going to win, while Lexi has always carried herself as someone who already won. It's reminiscent of how I felt about Sasha Colby back in Season 15. Don't get me wrong, I won't be disappointed if Jewels or Sam pulls off a surprise win. This is a rare season in which I basically love everyone in the Top 4, and that includes both of these stunners. They've already proven me wrong with their versatility in the competition, as I initially underestimated them as mere look queens, so it's entirely possible that I'll end up eating my words once again. And while we're talking about winners, which Season 17 queen should take home the title of Miss Congeniality? Kori King is a definite contender, with all the positive energy she brought to the Werk Room. But I could also see this one going to Southern sweetheart Sam, or even Hormona Lisa, or perhaps Lydia B-hole Kollins. The only thing I know for sure is that it won't be Arrietty. No matter how this shakes out, it's guaranteed to be a fierce final face-off. But as we've seen countless times on Drag Race, the queen we think should win isn't always the queen we think will win. So cast your vote in our polls below, then drop a comment with your predictions for the Season 17 finale.
