Michael Bublé went all-out in throwing a fourth birthday party for his son, Noah.

Nine months ago, doctors diagnosed Noah with a rare form of liver cancer. So this year’s celebrations were extra special. Noah got a three-tiered cake for his Spider-Man-themed party. The entire family painted their faces with red-and-blue spider webs.

Last fall, Michael Bublé and wife Luisana Lopilato canceled their schedule to care for him. Noah received chemotherapy in Los Angeles after surgeons removed the tumor. Luisana admitted, (quote) “There are nights that I don't sleep. I pray to God because it's still a long process. The worst is over -- Thank God." (Entertainment Tonight)

Talk About It:

  • Bublé only returned to work two months ago after a half a year lay-off to focus on his son.
  • Childhood liver cancer has a 90% survival rate.
  • Typically, with cancer cases, it’s several years until a survivor can stop worrying about a relapse.
  • If there’s any silver lining, Noah’s very young age means he won’t have many memories from his times in chemotherapy.

For the first time in about four years, Richard Simmons may come out of seclusion.

A Los Angeles judge scheduled a Wednesday morning hearing in the fitness guru’s lawsuit against The National Enquirer. Two summers ago, the tabloid’s front cover story claimed Simmons was transitioning to a woman named “Fiona.” They wrote how Simmons had undergone gender assignment surgery, including “breast implants, hormone treatments and consultations on medical castration.”

To this day, Richard Simmons is still a man. In May, he sued The National Enquirer for invasion of privacy and defamation.

The tabloid filed a motion claiming defamation should be off the table. In their words, in these modern times, “being referred to as ‘transgender’ cannot rationally be held by a court to impute negative characteristics.” Simmons may appear in court as the judge determines the merits of the tabloid’s motion.

The Parents Television Council says Sunday’s 2017 VMAs were “cleaner” than in past years, in part because host Katy Perry played it “safe.”

• while in past years the ceremony has been dominated by provocative displays of sexuality and mentions of drug use, this time around there was an increased focus on politics and mental health.

• “It was perhaps not as raunchy as what we’ve seen in past years as the messaging seemed to be far more political in its orientation than glorifying drugs as we’ve seen in years past,”
