Good Morning America

Michael Strahan came on his own show to share that his daughter was recently diagnosed with a rare brain cancer ... and it explains why he'd taken off so much time from his TV jobs back in the fall.

The 'GMA' host sat for a segment on the ABC program Thursday opposite his coworker Robin Roberts -- where he and his 19-year-old, Isabella, revealed she's been receiving treatment lately for a malignant tumor doctors found in her brain in October.

The cancer is known as medulloblastoma, and in the package they aired ... Roberts goes into detail about the size of the tumor that was discovered by doctors -- noting it was about as big as a golf ball and lodged toward the base of her skull.

Once they discovered the tumor, Isabella underwent emergency surgery at Cedars-Sinai in L.A. ... which is where Michael's daughter was attending college at USC.

Once her father caught wind of everything, he says he booked it to the West Coast -- Mike's normally working in NYC -- and he was by Isabella's side for a good long while ... which now explains his absence from 'GMA' and Fox NFL Sunday around that time.

The procedure to remove the mass appears to have been a success -- with the operation happening right around her 19th birthday -- and her recovery was long and arduous.

Now, though ... Isabella says she's doing much better as she continues to receive treatment -- including radiation, which has caused her to lose her hair. In February, Michael says she'll begin chemo as well. Of course, the whole journey has been stressful on the family.

Michael Strahan recurrió a su propio programa para compartir que su hija fue diagnosticada recientemente con un raro cáncer cerebral y explicó por qué le tomó tanto tiempo de sus dos trabajos de televisión durante el otoño.

El anfitrión de 'GMA' se sentó para un segmento en el programa de ABC el jueves frente a su compañera de trabajo Robin Roberts, donde él y su hija de 19 años, Isabella, revelaron que ha estado recibiendo tratamiento últimamente por un tumor maligno que los médicos encontraron en su cerebro en octubre.

El cáncer se conoce como meduloblastoma, y en el segmento que emitieron, Roberts entra en detalles sobre el tamaño del tumor que descubrieron los médicos, señalando que era del tamaño de una pelota de golf y se alojaba hacia la base de su cráneo.

Una vez que lo descubrieron, Isabella se sometió a una cirugía de emergencia en el Cedars-Sinai en Los Ángeles, pues la hija de Michael estaba asistiendo a la universidad de USC.

Una vez que su padre se enteró de todo, dice que reservó un viaje a la Costa Oeste -Mike normalmente trabaja en Nueva York- y estuvo al lado de Isabella durante un buen rato, lo que explica su ausencia de 'GMA' y Fox NFL Sunday alrededor de esa época.

El procedimiento para extirpar la masa pareciera haber sido exitoso. La operación ocurrió justo alrededor de su cumpleaños número 19 y su recuperación fue larga y ardua.

Ahora, sin embargo, Isabella dice que está mucho mejor mientras continúa recibiendo tratamiento, incluyendo radiación, lo que ha hecho que pierda su cabello. Michael dice que en febrero también empezará quimioterapia. Por supuesto, todo el viaje ha sido muy estresante para la familia.

8:32 AM PT -- We got Gypsy Rose Blanchard out in NYC today where she arrived to tape an interview for "The View." She walked alongside her husband, Ryan Scott Anderson, and was surrounded by a camera crew and security.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard is opening up about her time in prison, telling the world she feels out of sorts now that she's free while claiming she only killed her mom, Dee Dee, to get out of her precarious situation.

Blanchard sat down for her first interview that aired Friday on "Good Morning America" after her release last week from Missouri's Chillicothe Correctional Center, where she served 7 years of her 10-year sentence.

In the wide-ranging interview, Blanchard first reminisced about what it was like to step out of the penitentiary after so many years, saying she "felt a little bit like I was dropped in a different world because you don't realize how much you're restricted in prison."

She added, "I felt like I was in a black-and-white world and I just stepped into technicolor. It was amazing."

Gypsy then discussed what led to her incarceration, accusing Dee Dee of abuse for subjecting her to unnecessary surgeries and parading her around in a wheelchair with a feeding tube when she wasn't even sick.

Medical professionals determined that Blanchard was a victim of a condition known as "Munchausen syndrome by proxy," where a parent tries to gain sympathy by falsely claiming their child is ill.

Blanchard told 20/20" co-anchor and ABC's senior national affairs correspondent Deborah Roberts that life with her mom in Springfield, MO, was similar to prison, which was actually less restrictive. She said, "Honestly [it] wasn't that much of a difference. But I also had more freedom in prison than I ever had with my mother."

Roberts then showed Blanchard a photo of herself when she was younger, prompting the now 32-year-old to respond, "I don't even associate with that little girl anymore. Like, I know that's me. But at the same time, that isn't me anymore."

Blanchard said she didn't think her mom was a "monster" despite public perception, explaining, "She had a lot of demons herself that she was struggling with. I didn't want her dead. I just wanted out of my situation. And I thought that was the only way out."

She also addressed her co-defendant and former boyfriend in the case, Nicholas Godejohn, who was convicted of fatally stabbing Dee Dee on Blanchard's orders and is currently serving a life term. Blanchard said, "I'm sure that we both have a lot of regrets. All I can really say is that I did my time. He's doing his time for his part. And I wish him well on his journey."

One regret Blanchard didn't have while behind bars was regularly listening to music from her "inspiration" Taylor Swift, who got her through the toughest of times.

8:32 AM PT -- Tenemos a Gypsy Rose Blanchard hoy en Nueva York, donde llegó para grabar una entrevista para "The View". Caminaba junto a su marido, Ryan Scott Anderson, y estaba rodeada por un equipo de cámaras y seguridad.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard se está abriendo sobre su tiempo en la cárcel, diciéndole al mundo que se siente algo incómoda ahora que está libre y asegurando que solo mató a su madre, Dee Dee, para salir de su precaria situación.

Blanchard se sentó para su primera entrevista que se emitió el viernes en "Good Morning America", después de haber sido liberada la semana pasada del Centro Correccional Chillicothe de Missouri, donde cumplió 8 años de su condena de 10.

En la amplia entrevista, Blanchard recordó por primera vez cómo fue salir de la penitenciaría después de tantos años, diciendo que "me sentí un poco como si me hubieran dejado caer en un mundo diferente, porque no te das cuenta de lo mucho que estás restringido en la cárcel".

Y añadió: "Me sentí como si estuviera en un mundo en blanco y negro y acabara de entrar en technicolor. Fue increíble".

Gypsy habló entonces de lo que la llevó a su encarcelamiento, acusando a Dee Dee de haber abusado de ella por someterla a cirugías innecesarias y hacerla desfilar en una silla de ruedas con una sonda de alimentación cuando ni siquiera estaba enferma.

Los profesionales médicos determinaron que Blanchard era víctima de una enfermedad conocida como "síndrome de Munchausen por poderes", en la que un padre intenta ganarse la simpatía afirmando falsamente que su hijo está enfermo.

Blanchard dijo a la reportera de 'GMA' Deborah Roberts que la vida con su madre en Springfield, Missouri, era similar a la prisión, aunque esta última era en realidad menos restrictiva. "Sinceramente, no había tanta diferencia. Pero también tuve más libertad en la cárcel de la que jamás tuve con mi madre", dijo.

Luego Roberts le mostró a Blanchard una foto de sí misma cuando era más joven, lo que llevó a la ahora chica de 32 años a responder: "Ya ni siquiera me asocio con esa niña. Sé que soy yo. Pero al mismo tiempo, ya no soy más esa".

Blanchard dijo que no creía que su madre fuera un "monstruo" a pesar de la percepción pública y explicó: "Ella misma tenía muchos demonios con los que estaba luchando. No la quería muerta. Solo quería salir de mi situación. Y pensé que era la única salida".

También se refirió a su coacusado y exnovio en el caso, Nicholas Godejohn, quien fue condenado por apuñalar mortalmente a Dee Dee por orden de Blanchard y actualmente cumple cadena perpetua. Blanchard declaró: "Estoy seguro de que ambos nos arrepentimos de muchas cosas. Lo único que puedo decir es que yo cumplí mi condena. Él está cumpliendo su condena por su parte. Y le deseo lo mejor en su viaje".

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes aren't going to give up their reaction to their former spouses' new relationship ... saying it would be "toxic" for them to join all the chatter about it.

The former 'GMA3' anchors spoke out, only so slightly, about the news regarding their exes during the second episode of their podcast, "Amy and T.J." -- chatting about certain "headlines" that have been popping up recently -- referring to Marilee Fiebig and Andrew Shue now seeing each other.

T.J. says they anticipated that the dating rumors would come up, which seems to back up the report even more ... but he says they won't be diving deeper into the subject. He added, "We are not going to get into that back-and-forth game because gossip is toxic."

The big news came last week ... T.J. and Amy's exes have reportedly been together for about 6 months, bonding over their divorces in the wake of the TV hosts' hooking up.

Amy and T.J. maintain there was no cheating when they started dating.

Marilee and Andrew even snapped a photo together in 2016, which recently surfaced ... with Marilee writing a caption on Instagram about how great it was to catch up with Andrew and Amy.

The couples were friends and hung out together from time to time. It seems unlikely they'll still be doing that after the swap.

Amy Robach y T.J. Holmes no van a compartir su reacción de la nueva relación de sus ex cónyuges, diciendo que sería "tóxico" para ellos sumarse a toda la charla al respecto.

Los ex presentadores de 'GMA3' hablaron ligeramente sobre las noticias relativas a sus ex durante el segundo episodio de su podcast, "Amy y T.J.", en donde repasaron ciertos "titulares" que dicen que Marilee Fiebig y Andrew Shue están saliendo.

T.J. dice que anticiparon que estos rumores aparecerían, lo que parece respaldar aún más los reportes. Pero dice que no van a profundizar en el tema porque, en sus palabras: "No vamos a entrar en ese juego porque los chismes son tóxicos".

La gran noticia llegó la semana pasada, las ex parejas de T.J. y Amy han estado saliendo durante unos seis meses. La pareja se habría vuelto cercana durante sus divorcios, luego de que los presentadores de televisión se liaran.

Amy y T.J. aseguran que no hubo engaño cuando empezaron a salir.

Marilee y Andrew incluso se tomaron una foto juntos en 2016, la que recientemente salió a la luz. Marilee había escrito un mensaje en Instagram sobre lo genial que había sido ponerse al día con Andrew y Amy.

Las parejas eran amigas y salían juntas de vez en cuando. Parece poco probable que sigan haciendo eso después del intercambio.

Turns out the new coupling of T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach's exes isn't as random as you might think ... as they actually posted a selfie together 7 years before going official.

In Dec. 2016, T.J.'s ex-wife Marilee Fiebig shared an IG snap with Amy's ex-husband Andrew Shue ... acknowledging in the caption it was great to catch up with Amy and her man, as both couples didn't hang out as much as they'd like.

Funny enough, Amy even commented on the pic back in the day, writing, "❤️ this!"

Of course, we all now know that Amy would go on to find ❤️ with Marilee's husband T.J. ... with their romance coming to light in Nov 2022 -- sensationally costing them their TV jobs.

However, both their exes called BS ... saying they had found out about their romance in the summer of 2022.

Nevertheless, Marilee and Andrew are clearly focusing on the future ... with news emerging earlier this week, they've been dating for 6 months after bonding over their divorces from the hosts.

Resulta que el nuevo amorío de los ex de T.J. Holmes y Amy Robach no es tan aleatorio como se podría pensar, ya que en realidad publicaron un selfie juntos 7 años antes de hacers oficial la relación.

En diciembre de 2016, la ex esposa de T.J., Marilee Fiebig, compartió una foto en Insta con el ex marido de Amy, Andrew Shue, reconociendo en el pie de foto que era genial ponerse al día con Amy y su hombre ya que ambas parejas no salían tanto como les gustaría.

Curiosamente, Amy comentó la foto en su momento, escribiendo: "❤️ this!".

Por supuesto, ahora todos sabemos que Amy iría a encontrar ❤️ con el marido de Marilee T.J. Su romance salió a la luz en noviembre de 2022 y les costó sus puestos de trabajo en televisión.

Sin embargo, tanto sus ex dijeron que habían descubierto su romance en el verano de 2022.

Sin embargo, Marilee y Andrew se están centrando claramente en el futuro, con noticias que surgieron a principios de esta semana, que han estado saliendo durante 6 meses después de la vinculación de sus divorcios de los anfitriones.

Amy Robach y T.J. Holmes están escribiendo un nuevo capítulo en sus vidas, pasando algún tiempo de la mano luego del lanzamiento de su podcast y la impactante noticia de que sus ex están saliendo.

Hemos conseguido estas fotos de los ex presentadores de "GMA" paseando por Santa Mónica y dirigiéndose hacia el famoso muelle el viernes. La pareja se tomó de la mano todo el tiempo. Esto ocurre justo unos días antes del muy revelador primer episodio de su podcast.

Como informamos, Amy detalló que el día en que temió que T.J. se había suicidado, ya que estaban recibiendo el despido de sus puestos de trabajo en ABC debido a su romance secreto.

Ella recordó correr hacia su apartamento luego de que él le envió textos alarmantes —todos escritos en tiempo pasado— y luego lo encontró inconsciente luego de haber tomado vodka y comestibles de hierba.

Claramente decidieron dejar todo ese drama en el pasado para disfrutaban de un día soleado.

¿Sabían o no que sus respectivos ex se estaban viendo?

Al parecer, Marilee Fiebig y Andrew Shue están saliendo, y lo llevan haciendo desde hace unos 6 meses. Al parecer, buscaron consuelo el uno en el otro por sus divorcios de los presentadores de televisión.

Así que, ¿final feliz para todos? Ciertamente parece que de esa manera para T.J. y Amy, que también estaban uno encima del otro el pasado fin de semana, ya que asistieron a un evento Jingle Ball.

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes are making the most of a new chapter in their lives ... spending some downtime hand-in-hand ahead of their podcast launch, and the shocking news their exes are dating.

We got these shots of the former 'GMA' anchors strollin' around Santa Monica and heading toward the famous pier on Friday. The couple held hands the whole time during their casual excursion ... which came a few days before the very revealing first episode of their podcast.

As we reported, Amy detailed the day she feared T.J. had killed himself as they were getting the boot from their ABC jobs over their secret romance.

She recalled racing over to his pad after he began sending her alarming texts -- all written in the past tense -- and finding him in an unconscious state ... after he'd pounded vodka and weed edibles.

They were clearly putting all that drama in their rearview as they enjoyed a sunny SoCal day.

What's interesting, though, is whether or not they knew, at that point, their respective exes were hooking up.

Marilee Fiebig and Andrew Shue are reportedly dating, and have been for about 6 months. They reportedly sought solace in each other over their divorces from the TV hosts.

Sooo ... happy endings all around? It certainly seems that way for T.J. and Amy, who were also all over each other last weekend as they attended a Jingle Ball event.

Amy Robach thought her boyfriend, T.J. Holmes, had taken his own life as their tumultuous final months at ABC came to a close -- a harrowing story she just shared on their podcast.

The former 'GMA' anchors-turned-lovers got into this ugly chapter on their just-launched media venture -- and it's mostly Amy recounting how scared she was in 2022 when she briefly thought T.J. had killed himself ... this as they were on their way out at the network.

Amy says T.J. started sending her alarming texts in the past tense, where he said she *was* the love of his life, etc. -- and it spurred her to rush over, with her father in tow, to check on him.

Amy says they accessed T.J.'s apartment with the help of his doorman ... and they found him sprawled out on his bed, where Amy believed he might already be dead. She gets pretty emotional telling this part, as it's clear it was a scary moment for both of them.

Eventually, it became clear he was still alive, but was in an unconscious state ... and they were able to wake him up.

T.J. says he doesn't remember much of that, but does explain he'd gotten off work that day and started pounding vodka and weed edibles -- which landed him in that condition.

Elsewhere on their first pod episode, Amy described the tough time they endured after being ousted from their TV jobs, calling it the "year from hell." She even said she "wanted to die" during parts of the scandal -- but clearly, they're back and ready to work on their new project.

They've told their 'GMA' story ... so we'll see what else they discuss on the podcast. Definitely an engaging, and sorta creepy, start though.

Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes have been out in public together a lot since getting the boot from their morning anchor jobs -- but never quite like this ... and boy, do they look happy.

The former 'GMA3' hosts -- who left ABC after word of the relationship got out last year -- stepped out in front of cameras Friday night for iHeartRadio's Jingle Ball 2023 ... where they were front and center and smiling ear to ear as they posed for pics and the press.

Not only did they embrace on the carpet ... but they also smooched -- so, like we said, they ain't hiding the fact they're together any longer, even though it was well-established.

Even before they got there, T.J. was advertising the fact they were in town and rolling as a pair -- posting a pic to his Instagram Story, showing Amy in a car as she fired off a selfie.

Of course, their attendance for the iHeart event was no coincidence ... they have a new podcast they're launching next week -- called 'Amy & T.J.' -- and they're pushing people to iHeart Radio to catch it.

It's their first joint venture since they unceremoniously exited ABC ... at least as far as media's concerned.

Fact is, they've been tied at the hip since their ousting -- and have vacationed all over the place as a couple. The only difference now is ... we'll be seeing them talking shop again, as opposed to just cuddling and making out.

The takeaway though is that they're united and going strong ... so it wasn't just a fling.

A Canadian woman had a "whoa baby" moment after giving birth to her little boy, who turned out to be ENORMOUS!!!

Late last month, Britteney Ayres welcomed her 14-pound, 8-ounce infant measuring precisely 21.65 inches at Cambridge Memorial Hospital in Ontario. She and her husband, Chance, named their fifth child, Sonny, who is more than double the size of an average tot.

Sonny, who was delivered by cesarean section, is already shattering records, scoring the highest birth weight of any baby at the hospital since 2010.

The couple was so excited they went on Good Morning America to talk all about their new bundle of joy.

Chance said, "Never in our wildest dreams did we think he'd be that big," while Britteney called Sonny a "blessing." She added that she was happy to be at home with her "good support system" after her stay in the hospital.

Sonny will now get to hang out with his four other siblings: Chance, 6, Everett, 5, Lucky, 3, and older sister, Marigold, 1.

Jay-Z is advising all Twitter philosophers out there to take the proverbial "$500,000" over having dinner with him ... he's saying all the "jewels" they think they'll get are in his old albums!!!

HOV weighed in on the viral social media question Monday with Gayle King on "CBS Mornings," where he finally gave fans the answer key ... well, his, at least.

In case you’re not hip, fans have been having a field day with the topic for YEARS ... debating if having just ONE dinner with Jay is worth more than $500K cash upfront.

Clearly an obvious choice for many, but some have argued that Jay will bless them with the missing link to create their own billion-dollar empire!!!

Jay’s not exactly disagreeing with them, but he’s saying there’s a $499,989.01 discount just for listening to one of his old albums!!!

He touted cash-saving tactics on his last released album “4:44” back in 2017, and way back in 2009, he infamously rapped the lines ... "HOV on that new s**t, n****s like "How come?" N****s want my old s**t, buy my old albums."

Jay says he didn't name a batch of his albums "The Blueprint" just because ... he says the songs contain his life's work and everything he rapped about became true.

Juicy J is willing to go to any extreme to combat the country's mental health crisis ... even if it means dressing like an escapee to help him get the message across!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked with the Three 6 Mafia legend Tuesday in NYC as he promoted his new book, "Chronicles of the Juice Man," which he co-wrote with author Soren Baker.

Juicy had planned on taking 'GMA' by storm in a straitjacket and Hannibal Lector mask ... but says someone at the show or the network labeled his outfit a no-go, and he had to change.

Tackling mental health issues has been on Juicy's mind all year.

His last project, "Mental Trillness," was dedicated to the cause, and he's also been vocal about targeting substance abuse in the wake of his longtime friend Gangsta Boo's accidental OD death.

Juicy tells us his straitjacket look was intended to let people know they don't have to do anything crazy to seek help, and he's urging fans to use the 988 Suicide Crisis Lifeline if they're suffering.

It's action-packed when the 'Spider-Man' star Hailee Steinfeld walks out the door, but in this grand exit of hers... she's brought along two daring Spidey-stans who are ready for their next mission. Spin your finest web and capture the discreet differences in these two images.

Giving off-the-shoulder vibes in a power suit... the actress recently made the rounds to promote her latest film, "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse," and as Spiderman famously says ... "With great power comes great responsibility", so go ahead and shoot your best shot and trap the changes!
