On Sunday, actor James Van Der Beek shared an exclusive statement with People revealing he has been diagnosed with colorectal cancer.

The “Dawson’s Creek” star says he’s “been privately dealing with this diagnosis and have been taking steps to resolve it, with the support of my incredible family.”

“There’s reason for optimism, and I’m feeling good,” he continued.

Several hours later, Van Der Beek took to Instagram to share a lengthier statement, apologizing to his family.

“It is cancer. ... There’s no playbook for how announce these things, but I’d planned on talking about it at length with People magazine at some point soon … to raise awareness and tell my story on my own terms.

“But that plan had to be altered early this morning when I was informed that a tabloid was going to run with the news.”

That’s when Van Der Beek apologized to the “people in my life who I’d planned on telling myself.”

Coldplay’s Martin falls through a stage door

Coldplay frontman Chris Martin narrowly avoided serious injury Sunday night when he fell through a door in the stage during a concert in Melbourne, Australia.

During a break in the set at Marvel Stadium, video shows, Martin engaged in some stage banter while walking backward toward the opening as concert crew members tried to put their hands through the hole to stop him from falling.

The crowd groaned and gasped as Martin fell down.

The “Yellow” crooner managed to get up quickly and appeared to shake off his tumble.

“That’s, uh, not planned. Thank you for catching me. So much,” Martin tells the crew. “Thank you guys ... that was nearly a YouTube moment.”

Kim Kardashian shows off Princess Diana’s necklace

Kim Kardashian is no stranger to wearing fashion history. In recent years she’s donned pieces belonging to Marilyn Monroe, Janet Jackson and Jackie Kennedy, to name but a few.

But on Saturday, at the Los Angeles County Museum of Arts’ Art+Film Gala in Los Angeles, Kardashian debuted another cultural artifact: a diamond-lined cross pendant, once a favorite of Princess Diana.

Kardashian bought the piece for around $212,000 in January 2023 during the final five minutes of a Sotheby’s auction. Her red carpet appearance over the weekend marked the first time the necklace has been worn in public since Diana’s death in 1997.

With its diamonds weighing approximately 5.25 carats, the cross measures 5.4 inches by 3.7 inches. Kardashian shortened the pearl chain significantly and wore it alongside a stack of jewels, including a six-strand pearl choker.
