Camden Toy, known for his work on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," has died.

The actor passed away Monday following a 2-year battle with pancreatic cancer ... according to his Facebook page, which has been flooded with an outpouring of fans, friends and family honoring the late actor.

Camden's partner, Bea Henderson, said he was diagnosed in February last year "after months of mysterious pain." She added, "His condition has declined a lot in the last 2 months and tremendously in the last several days," noting he was unable to communicate toward the end.

She says Camden decided "for many reasons" to keep his illness a secret ... and admits she's sorry for the big shock that's now coming to fans.

Actor Doug Jones, who worked alongside Camden on 'Buffy,' wrote, "So many memories including working together, decades of laughing, sharing mutual friends, get togethers, travel, conventions, and huggles with each other and our fans."

Apart from playing one of the Gentlemen in the vampire-slaying series, Camden appeared in various projects like "Angel," "The Bay," "Average Joe," "Shameless," and "The Mentalist."

He was 68.

Oprah Winfrey está superando décadas de vergüenza ligada a su cuerpo y está admitiendo que toma medicamentos para bajar de peso, a pesar de que previamente dijo que nunca lo había hecho.

Después de deshacerse de 40 libras este año, la multimillonaria magnate de la televisión ha terminado con las conversaciones crueles e insensibles acerca de su apariencia, respecto a si usa o no farmacéuticos para adelgazar.

Oprah le dice a PEOPLE que un médico le recetó los medicamentos después de su serie "La vida que quieres", "El estado de peso" grabando en julio, donde se dio cuenta de que ella no tenía la culpa de tener sobrepeso, señalando que era más sobre el cerebro que la fuerza de voluntad.

Con una nueva mentalidad, Oprah dice que los medicamentos para bajar de peso son una alternativa más saludable para ella en lugar de seguir intentando de la "manera convencional", y agrega que toma la droga bajo supervisión médica y solo cuando es necesario.

Los medicamentos aparecieron justo antes de Acción de Gracias, porque sabía que se aproximaban "dos semanas de alimentación sólida", y como resultado, dice que solo ganó media libra en lugar de ocho.

Recordamos que Oprah dijo a principios de este año durante una charla con el CEO de WeightWatchers Sima Sistani, que algunos medicamentos para bajar de peso como el Ozempic y Mounjaro eran una "salida fácil"

Oprah Winfrey is overcoming decades of shame attached to her body, and she's admitting taking weight-loss medication ... even though she previously said she'd never do that to slim down.

After shedding 40 lbs this year, the billionaire TV mogul is done with cruel and insensitive conversations about her appearance -- gushing that pharmaceutical assistance has changed her relationship with her figure.

Oprah tells PEOPLE a doctor prescribed the meds to her following her "Life You Want" series' "The State Of Weight" taping back in July, where she realized she wasn't to blame for being overweight ... noting it was more about the brain than willpower.

With a new mindset, Oprah says weight-loss meds are a healthier alternative for her rather than yo-yo-ing, and she takes the medically-approved drug as, and when, needed.

Case in point, she took them just before Thanksgiving cause she knew she had "two weeks of solid eating" ... and, as a result, says she only gained half a pound rather than eight.

This comes in stark contrast to Oprah labeling weight loss drugs such as Ozempic and Mounjaro an "easy way out" earlier this year during a chat with WeightWatchers CEO Sima Sistani.

Oprah Winfrey is now one of a handful of notable public figures to get drawn into the record books for one of America's most famous museums, and her reaction to the paint job is ... positive?

Here's the deal ... the entertainment mogul received the honor of a massive portrait of herself that's going into the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C. The unveiling went down Wednesday morning, with Oprah's friends and family in attendance.

Shawn Michael Warren is the artist, and he joined O to pull off the drape covering his work, which looks to stand at about 7 feet tall or so. Keep in mind, Oprah had never seen the finished product.

Once the curtain was yanked ... she could see the painting in all its glory, depicting her in a purple dress, smiling wide in her "prayer garden." To us, the portrait looks fantastic, and most everyone there seemed to agree too ... but it's hard to tell if Oprah liked it.

Maybe we're reading too much into how she reacted, but she certainly looked shocked. It's just not clear if it's a look of stunned joy, or astonished mortification. 😅

We'd like to assume it's the former, and that she digs it ... because honestly, it is quite nice.

Anyway, this thing is permanently the museum's forever -- and like we mentioned, O is joining an exclusive club ... especially as it pertains to modern celebs. The Smithsonian features portraits of tons of famous figures throughout history, but only a handful of 21st-century celebs ... not including presidents, like Barack Obama, who has one.

Oprah Winfrey es ahora parte de un puñado de notables figuras públicas que han sido retratadas para las colecciones de uno de los museos más famosos de Estados Unidos, y su reacción a la pintura fue, ¿positiva?

Esta es la cuestión, la magnate del entretenimiento recibió el honor de tener un enorme retrato de sí misma dentro de la Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery en Washington, DC. La inauguración se llevó a cabo el miércoles por la mañana, con los amigos y la familia de Oprah entre los asistentes.

Shawn Michael Warren fue el artista a cargo y se unió a O para desvelar la cortina que cubría su trabajo, que parece ser de unos 7 pies de altura más o menos. Hay que tener en cuenta que Oprah nunca había visto la obra acabada.

Una vez descorrida la cortina, la presentadora pudo ver el cuadro en todo su esplendor, que la representa con un vestido morado, sonriendo ampliamente en su "jardín de oración". Para nosotros, el retrato se ve fantástico y casi todo el mundo allí parecía estar de acuerdo también, pero es difícil saber si a Oprah le gustó.

Tal vez estamos siendo muy quisquillosos en la forma en que reaccionó, pero ciertamente parecía sorprendida. No está claro si su mirada de asombro era de alegría o de mortificación 😅.

Nos gustaría suponer que es lo primero y que el retrato le gusta porque, honestamente, es bastante bonito.

De todos modos, la obra permanecerá en el museo para siempre y como hemos mencionado, O se está uniendo a un club muy exclusivo, especialmente en lo que respecta a las celebridades modernas. El Smithsonian cuenta con retratos de montones de figuras famosas a lo largo de la historia, pero solo un puñado de celebridades del siglo 21, esto sin incluir a los presidentes, como Barack Obama, que tiene uno.

Matt LeBlanc fue visto cenando esta semana, siendo uno de los últimos "Friends" en hacerlo desde que Matthew Perry murió.

El actor fue a Nobu en Malibu el martes —uno de los lugares más famosos y de alto perfil en la ciudad— quien va allí, sin duda quiere ser visto, y así fue..

Parecía bastante neutral y pensativo mientras compartía con sus amigos, y por un momento, mostró una gran sonrisa mientras saludaba a uno de sus amigos cerca del estacionamiento.

Es significativo ver a Matt finalmente de manera pública y compartiendo con sus amigos. Ya que desde el fallecimiento de su antiguo compañero de reparto que no lo veíamos en una situación así.

Hemos visto a Matt salir en público antes, pero la última vez que lo hizo, estaba al volante conduciendo por Los Ángeles.

La vida sigue adelante y también lo hacen las personas, no importa quién nos deja. Sin embargo, por muy dura que deba ser para él la muerte de Mattew, parece intentar seguir adelante con la mayor normalidad posible. Matt publicó una despedida formal a Perry el mes pasado.

Como decíamos, otros actores de "Friends" han salido a la palestra desde que Matthew falleció. Por supuesto, esto no incluye su funeral, al que todos asistieron. Hemos visto a Courteney Cox salir a cenar por Los Ángeles y David Schwimmer también ha dado la cara tras su muerte.

Los únicos que no hemos visto públicamente hasta ahora son; Jennifer Aniston y Lisa Kudrow, pero algo nos dice que es probable que las veamos por ahí a su debido tiempo también.

Matt LeBlanc stepped out for dinner this week -- one of the last remaining "Friends" to do so since Matthew Perry died ... and it's meaningful for a lot of different reasons.

The actor hit up Nobu in Malibu Tuesday -- which is big considering it's one of the most high-profile celeb hot spots in town ... and whoever goes there certainly wants to be seen. You could argue that's the case for Matt here -- who was joined by a bunch of buddies.

He looked fairly neutral and pensive as he rolled up with the boys, but at one point ... he did, in fact, flash a big smile as he greeted one of his friends near the valet booth outside.

Like we said ... it's significant to see MLB out and about like this in the wake of his old costar's tragic passing -- which occurred in late October. The reason ... they were close cast members on the hit sitcom ... just think about Chandler and Joey.

We've seen Matt step out in public before ... but the last time he did that, he was behind the wheel driving around in L.A. -- so it wasn't quite like what we're seeing here at Nobu.

The theme, you might argue, is that life moves on ... and so do people, no matter who leaves us. And yet, as hard as MP's death must be for him -- he, too, appears to be trying to carry on as normally as he can. Last month, Matt posted a formal farewell to Perry.

Like we said, other "Friends" actors have stepped out in the spotlight since Matthew passed -- not including his funeral, of course, which they all attended. We've seen Courteney Cox hit dinner in L.A. ... and David Schwimmer has also shown face in the wake of his death.

The only ones we haven't seen publicly thus far are ... Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, but something tells us we'll likely spot them out and about in due time as well.

Shannen Doherty y su marido separado tienen un recuerdo muy distinto sobre cómo terminaron. La versión de él niega las acusaciones de infidelidad que ella ha alegado en su podcast, pero Shannen asegura que esa es "la verdad".

Esta es la cuestión, Shannen fue noticia la semana pasada cuando dijo en su podcast 'Let's Be Clear' que se había sometido a una cirugía para extirpar un tumor cerebral después de enterarse de que Kurt Iswarienko "había estado teniendo un romance durante dos años" y que su matrimonio de 11 años estaba "esencialmente destruido".

Fuentes cercanas a Kurt están cuestionando la narrativa de Shannen, diciéndole a TMZ que Kurt y Shannen en realidad habían estado viviendo vidas separadas al menos dos años antes de su cirugía en enero de 2023, y que él había sido franco con ella sobre empezar una nueva relación más mientras estaban viviendo en diferentes estados.

En su podcast, Shannen dice: "Entré a esa cirugía temprano en la mañana y lo hice después de enterarme de que mi matrimonio estaba básicamente acabado... me sentí tan traicionada".

Sin embargo, nuestras fuentes dicen que Kurt le dijo a Shannen de su nueva relación justo después del Año Nuevo de 2023. Nos dicen que Shannen se cayó unos días después de que Kurt le dijera acerca de la otra mujer, y fue entonces cuando fue enviada a realizarse una resonancia magnética y los médicos descubrieron su tumor cerebral.

Shannen niega totalmente esa versión de los hechos. El martes por la noche, en su Instagram, la calificó de "mentira absoluta" y acusó a las personas relacionadas con Kurt de tratar de eludir la verdad.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Kurt estaba viviendo en Texas en ese momento y Shannen en California cuando le descubrieron el tumor cerebral. Él voló de regreso y fue a las citas con los médicos con ella, solo para que ella le dijera la mañana de la cirugía que no lo quería allí.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Shannen haciendo parecer que Kurt había estado husmeando a sus espaldas no es exacto, pero obviamente, el momento fue bastante duro.

TMZ publicó la historia, Shannen pidió el divorcio en abril, cuando su representante, Leslie Sloane, nos dijo: "El divorcio es la última cosa que Shannen quería. Desafortunadamente, sintió que no le quedaba otra opción. Puedes contactar a la agente de Kurt, Collier Grimm en PICTUREKID, ya que está íntimamente involucrada".

Shannen y Kurt se casaron en 2011 y ella fue diagnosticada con cáncer en 2015. Nuestras fuentes dicen que él estuvo con ella durante todo el proceso de diagnósticos, tratamientos y visitas al médico.

Nos dicen que los tratamientos de Shannen funcionaron al principio, pero el cáncer regresó y a finales de 2020 su matrimonio no estaba funcionando. La pandemia de COVID jugó un papel importante en el deterioro de la relación.

Nuestras fuentes dicen que Kurt todavía quería ser parte de su vida y estuvo alquilando casas en su área entre enero y julio de 2021 mientras intentaban resolver las cosas, pero cuando no pudieron, se mudó a Austin y finalmente conoció a la otra mujer.

Shannen Doherty and her estranged husband have a much different memory of how and when they split up -- his version flies in the face of the infidelity she alleged on her podcast, but Shannen is doubling down on "the truth."

Here's the deal ... Shannen made headlines last week when she went on her new 'Let's Be Clear' podcast and claimed she had surgery to remove a brain tumor right after learning Kurt Iswarienko "had been carrying on an affair for two years," and their 11-year marriage was "essentially over."

Sources close to Kurt are disputing Shannen's narrative, telling TMZ ... Kurt and Shannen had actually been living separate lives for 2 years before her January 2023 surgery, and he had been upfront about starting a new relationship with someone else while they were living in different states.

On her podcast, Shannen said ... "I went into that surgery early in the morning and I went in after I found out that my marriage was essentially over ... I felt so betrayed.”

However, our sources say Kurt told Shannen of his new relationship just after New Year's of 2023. We're told Shannen fell a few days after Kurt told her about the other woman, and that's when she was sent for an MRI, doctors discovered her brain tumor and then she had the surgery.

Shannen's fully shooting down that version of events -- Tuesday night, on her Instagram, she called it "an absolute lie" and accused people connected to Kurt of trying to skirt the truth.

The sources close to Kurt say he'd been living in Texas, and Shannen was in California, when doctors found the tumor. but he flew back and went with her to doctor appointments ... only for her to tell him the morning of the surgery she didn't want him there.

Our sources say Shannen making it seem like Kurt had been sneaking around her back isn't accurate, but obviously, the timing was pretty rough.

TMZ broke the story ... Shannen filed for divorce in April, when her rep, Leslie Sloane, told us, "Divorce is the last thing Shannen wanted. Unfortunately, she felt she was left with no other option. You can contact Kurt's agent, Collier Grimm at PICTUREKID as she is intimately involved."

BTW ... the new woman Kurt revealed to Shannen was indeed Collier, and we're told they're still together.

Shannen and Kurt tied the knot way back in 2011, and she was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 ... with our sources telling us he was there for her throughout all of her early diagnosis, treatments and doctor visits.

We're told Shannen's treatments worked at first, but the cancer came back and by late 2020 their marriage was not working ... with the COVID pandemic playing a role.

Our sources say Kurt still wanted to be part of her life, and was renting homes in her area from January 2021 to July 2021 while they tried to figure things out -- but when they couldn't, he moved to Austin, and ultimately met Collier.

Andre Braugher, famous for his work on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "Homicide: Life On The Street," is dead.

The longtime TV actor died Monday due to a brief illness ... according to his rep.

Andre was best known recently for starring as Captain Raymond Holt in the police comedy series "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" ... appearing in all 153 episodes alongside Andy Samberg and Terry Crews.

Terry just posted a heartfelt tribute on social media, saying ... "This hurts. You left us too soon. You taught me so much. I will be forever grateful for the experience of knowing you. Thank you for your wisdom, your advice, your kindness and your friendship."

Andre first broke through in Hollywood back in 1993, when he landed the role of Detective Frank Pembleton in the NBC drama "Homicide: Life on the Street." Andre would appear in 100 episodes of the TV show.

Andre also famously played used car salesman Owen Thoreau Jr. in the TV comedy-drama "Men of a Certain Age."

Overall, Andre earned 2 Primetime Emmy Awards among 11 nominations for his decorated TV career.

Andre also appeared on the big screen ... with roles in movies including "Frequency," "The Mist," and "City of Angels."

Born and raised in Chicago, Andre went to college at Stanford University, where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in theatre before continuing his studies at the Julliard School's Drama Division.

He is survived by his wife, actress Ami Brabson -- whom he married in 1991 -- and their 3 children.

Andre was 61.

"The Big Bang Theory" star and comedian Kate Micucci is battling lung cancer, and says her diagnosis was a total shock because she's never smoked a day in her life.

Kate shared her scary medical news over the weekend, telling folks on TikTok she had surgery to remove her lung cancer and is recovering in the hospital. Thankfully, Kate says they were able to detect the cancer early.

What's most puzzling to Kate is the fact she's never smoked a single cigarette, but still wound up with the illness. However, she's keeping a positive outlook on the whole situation, given the surgery was a success.

Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer -- but, about 15 percent of cases are linked to other factors such as secondhand smoke, asbestos and various chemicals ... according to the World Health Organization.

She kept a smile as the vid went on, walking around the hospital with the help of staff right behind her ... and she even posed for the camera with her typical hospital food -- a small box of cereal and a banana!

Fans of "The Big Bang Theory" remember Kate playing Lucy in a handful of episodes, who was Raj's love interest.

She's got credits in tons of other projects ... including "DuckTales," "The Little Hours," "Garfunkel and Oates," "Raising Hope," "Steven Universe," and she's played the voice of Velma in "Scooby-Doo" since 2015.

She's also married and has a 3-year-old son with husband Jake Sinclair ... who's written and produced tracks for musicians like Taylor Swift, Weezer and Panic! at the Disco.

La estrella de "The Big Bang Theory" y comediante Kate Micucci está luchando contra el cáncer de pulmón y dice que su diagnóstico fue un shock total porque ella nunca ha fumado un día en su vida.

Kate compartió su aterradora noticia médica durante el fin de semana, diciendo en TikTok que tuvo una cirugía para extirpar su cáncer de pulmón y se está recuperando en el hospital. Afortunadamente, Kate dice que fueron capaces de detectar el cáncer temprano.

Lo más desconcertante para Kate es el hecho de que nunca ha fumado un solo cigarrillo, pero aún así terminó con la enfermedad. Sin embargo, ella mantiene una actitud positiva sobre toda la situación, dado que la cirugía fue un éxito.

Por si sirve de algo, el tabaquismo es la principal causa de cáncer de pulmón, pero hay varios tipos.

¡Ella mantuvo una sonrisa durante el video, caminando por el hospital con la ayuda del personal justo detrás de ella, e incluso posó para la cámara con su comida típica de hospital, una pequeña caja de cereal y un plátano!

Los fans de "The Big Bang Theory" recuerdan a Kate interpretando a Lucy —el interés romántico de Raj— en un puñado de episodios.

Ella tiene créditos en toneladas de otros proyectos, incluyendo "DuckTales", "The Little Hours", "Garfunkel and Oates", "Raising Hope", "Steven Universe", y ha interpretado la voz de Velma en "Scooby-Doo" desde 2015.

También está casada y tiene un hijo de tres años con su marido Jake Sinclair, que ha escrito y producido temas para músicos como Taylor Swift, Weezer y Panic! at the Disco.

Alyssa Milano's mother is pushing back on Shannen Doherty's claim they blocked her from seeing Holly Marie Combs shortly after she'd had surgery to remove a tumor from her uterus.

Lin Milano tells TMZ ... she categorically denies the story, and questions how it would have been even possible for them to block Shannen from entering a hospital room. She also refutes Shannen's assertion that she and Alyssa tried to create a weird wedge between SD and HMC on the set of "Charmed."

She tells us she couldn't have possibly been meddling behind the scenes because she wasn't on set daily, as her daughter was grown, and also ... she had her own business to focus on.

Lin says she was merely great friends with Holly, who oftentimes came over for dinner as her parents didn't live near -- adding their bond strengthened during Holly's pregnancy.

As for Shannen's claims of competitiveness between herself and Alyssa, Lin says the show's EP, Aaron Spelling, loved them equally ... so there was no need for tension between them.

On the whole, Lin is sad Shannen feels this way in her heart ... and is sorry she's going through her cancer battle alone without parents to support her -- adding she wishes the best for her.

This comes after Shannen was adamant on her "Let's Be Clear with Shannen Doherty" podcast ... telling former costar Holly that 24 hours after Holly's surgery, she went to see her ... but was blocked by AM and her mom.

Even Oprah, the bonafide queen of TV, needs some comforting now and then ... she says she was totally down for Drew Barrymore's caressing, even if some fans were cringing.

We got O Tuesday morning as she headed into the Empire State Building, and she told us she enjoyed the personal touch she got on "The Drew Barrymore Show" ... saying it actually provided her some solace.

In fact, you could say Drew put the pressure on Stedman Graham -- Oprah told us she's now demanding the same arm-stroking treatment from her longtime partner!

Oprah adds she thought it was endearing, and loved Drew for always being herself.

While she didn't mind Drew being all over her ... it was too much to handle for some viewers who criticized the host for creepily invading Oprah's personal space by propping her hand under her chin and holding it there.

Incluso Oprah, la genuina reina de la televisión, necesita un poco de consuelo de vez en cuando ... Ella dice que se sintió totalmente a gusto con las caricias de Drew Barrymore, incluso si a algunos fans les pareció perturbador.

Nos encontramos con Oprah el martes por la mañana cuando iba de camino al Empire State Building, y nos dijo que disfrutó el toque personal que recibió en "The Drew Barrymore Show", diciendo que en realidad le dio un poco de alegría.

¡De hecho, se podría decir que Drew puso la presión sobre Stedman Graham! Oprah nos dijo que ahora espera el mismo tratamiento de su pareja desde hace mucho tiempo.

Oprah añadió que le encanta Drew por siempre ser ella misma.

Aunque a ella no le importó que Drew estuviera encima de ella, esto sí fue demasiado para algunos espectadores que criticaron a la presentadora por invadir espeluznantemente el espacio personal de Oprah apoyando su mano debajo de su barbilla y manteniéndola allí.

Drew Barrymore se puso un poco demasiado sentimental con Oprah, dejando a los fans muertos de la risa luego de invadir el espacio personal de la reina del talk show.

Mira el clip donde se puede ver cómo Drew se aferra a las manos de Oprah en "The Drew Barrymore Show", y no la suelta más. Incluso en un momento, Drew las apoya torpemente debajo de su barbilla mientras conversan.

Más tarde también usó su brazo para acariciar su mano lentamente, dejando a los fans mortificados con comentarios como: "Drew, no todos quieren tomarse las manos boo".

Otro destacó la incomodidad de Oprah, escribiendo: "El lenguaje corporal de Oprah decía tan claro que quería su mano de vuelta", otro añadió: "El lenguaje corporal de Oprah lo dice todo. Drew la está agarrando demasiado. Oprah está tratando de soltar su mano. Drew es demasiado espeluznante y necesitada".

El despliegue de afecto ocurrió cuando Drew le respondió a Oprah, elogiándola por comenzar su programa sin una audiencia en vivo en el estudio durante la pandemia.

Barrymore dijo que la interacción con el público es necesaria y señaló cómo Oprah suele pasar tiempo con su público fuera de su programa de entrevistas, lo que explica su éxito.
