So soon after Shahs of Sunset fans celebrated the news of former star Lilly Ghalichi's pregnancy, there's different wonderful news about Mercedes Javid.

Her relationship with longtime boyfriend Tommy Feight has had its ups and downs.

Now, however, the two have officially married!

Us Weekly reports that a source confirmed to them that Mercedes Javid and Tommy Feight are married.

The two of them dated for years after meeting each other on Tinder back in 2015.

On Saturday, April 21, the two of them tied the knot in a ceremony at a hotel in West Hollywood.

The ceremony took place on the roof, giving the entire wedding party and the guests a beautiful view of L.A. skyline.

From this report, it sounds like the actual ceremony was a delight.

First of all, among those invited was MJ's Shahs of Sunset costar, Reza Farahan.

He would stand out in any crowd, but he was part of the wedding party.

Specifically, Reza was MJ's Man of Honor, a role that's been growing increasingly popular in recent years as people question gender roles that don't seem to serve any purpose.

(MJ did also have bridesmaids, however)

Best of all, MJ's dog played a role in the ceremony, which might be the best thing that we've ever heard.

He was the ringbearer.

MJ spoke just hours before the ceremony about what is often a stressful and intense day of preparations.

"I’m the most relaxed one in the room!"

But that doesn't mean that she was completely prepared.

In fact, she admitted that she had not yet written her wedding vows.

"I’m thinking about winging it."

(If you're completely horrified by someone not knowing those in advance ... I'm right there with you)

The guest list, however, was a no-brainer.

"Every single person invited is someone that is a really important part of my life and Tommy’s as well."

MJ divulged that she had high hopes that the wedding and ensuing reception would go at a crawl.

Specifically, she wanted things to move "in slow motion because everyone says that it goes by so quickly."

She wanted to savor her wedding.

MJ was also anticipating "the love that is going to be surrounding us."

Her relationship with Tommy was rocky at times.

On Season 5, Episode 8 of Shahs of Sunset, the two had a very unpleasant-sounding argument while in the car.

To the point where she began to open her door while the car was moving.

Normally, we'd say that people having an argument like that don't belong together, despite what romance-heavy TV dramas might tell you.

But it looks like they worked out their various relationship issues well enough over the past couple of years.

Back in October, MJ had dished that she had always longed for a spring wedding (as if that matters in L.A.).

It looks like she got her wish.

With the recent release of Rampage, Dwayne Johnson locked in yet another number-one movie at the box office.

But this professional success is not what the wrestler-turned-actor wants to focus on right now.

Instead, he's here to talk about the person who is now number-one in his heart...

... his brand new baby daughter!

Indeed, the beloved superstar shared a totally precious and beyond adorable photo on Instagram on Monday; one that features him cuddling up to little Tiana Gia Johnson.

Johnson told fans that long-time girlfriend Lauren Hashian recently gave birth to the child, who now joins a pair of other young women in Johnson's life: 

He shares 16-year old daughter Simone with his ex-wife; and two-year old Jasmine with Hashian.

The A-List actor announced he and Hashian were expecting again in December.

And while Kate Middleton also announced her new baby today, if there's any celebrity who could maybe upstage her, that celebrity would be The Rock.

Especially when you consider this image of father and daughter:

"kin to skin. Our mana. Blessed and proud to bring another strong girl into this world," wrote Johnson to open the caption that goes along with this snapshot.

It appears to have been taken while Tiana was still in the hospital.

(We don't know her exact birth date or measurements yet.)

Continued Johnson, praising his life partner (and women in general) at every turn:

"Tiana Gia Johnson came into this world like a force of nature and Mama @laurenhashianofficial labored and delivered like a true rockstar.

"I was raised and surrounded by strong, loving women all my life, but after participating in baby Tia’s delivery, it’s hard to express the new level of love, respect and admiration I have for @laurenhashianofficial and all mamas and women out there."

She often remains out of the spotlight, but here's a photo of Lauren Hashian with Johnson:

Johnson wasn't done bowing down in awe, either:

"Word to the wise gentlemen, it’s critical to be by your lady’s head when she’s delivering, being as supportive as you can.. holding hands, holding legs, whatever you can do.

"But, if you really want to understand the single most powerful and primal moment life will ever offer - watch your child being born. Its a life changer and the respect and admiration you have for a woman, will forever be boundless.

This is how he concluded his moving post:

And to my third and youngest daughter, Tiana Gia - like I did when your two older sisters Simone Alexandra and Jasmine Lia were born, you have my word, I’ll love, protect, guide and make ya laugh for the rest of my life. 

Your crazy dad has many responsibilities and wears many hats in this big ol’ world, but being your dad will always be the one I’m most proud to wear.

Oh and one more thing.. you’re gonna love rollin’ in daddy’s pick up truck.

Johnson may be more ripped than any human being alive.

And he may be best known for starring in crazy action films.

But he's a softie at heart.

Just consider what he wrote to Jasmine in April of 2016:

"Happy 4 month birthday Jasmine! One day you'll know just how happy, proud, lucky and blessed you, your sister and your mama make me.

"You'll also thank me one day for your toughness and your mama's everything else."

And then consider THIS VIDEO of daddy and daughter... and be prepared to swoon.

Congrats to The Rock and Hashian!

It seems like just yesterday that April Love Geary first showed off her baby bump. But it was half a year ago, and she and Robin Thicke have welcomed the birth of their baby.

Now, she's shared a photo of her sweetly nursing baby Mia ... only to get blasted for showing the "indecent" image.

But she's clapping back at her mom-shamers ... and she's pulling out the receipts.

In February, April Love gave birth to Mia Love Thicke, an adorable baby.

Like other babies and also all humans, Mia needs sustenance in order to survive. As is often the case, that comes in the form of breast milk.

So it should be no surprise that April Love breastfeeds her precious baby.

Like a number of celebrities -- and even ordinary moms -- she is sharing this photo to help normalize breastfeeding, as moms are still shamed for feeding their children.

She shared this photo, taken by her fiance, Robin Thicke.

This is a great photo!

Not only is this picture sweet and entirely non-sexual, but she's even censored her exposed nipple in order to meet Instagram's dainty standards.

(As we all know, Instagram has a delicate constitution and simply cannot handle the sight of the forbidden Lady Nipples)

Her caption was short and sweet, as she wrote:

"MOM pic by baby daddy Robin Thicke."

As you can imagine, though, there was some unfortunate backlash.

A British television personality who starred on Big Brother as a teenager was among April Love's critics, and posted as much in a series of tweets.

"I’m all for breastfeeding and having a choice how to feed your baby but WHY do people feel the need to post pictures of themselves doing it?!"

To her credit, she went ahead and made it clear that she was talking about April Love.

"Especially the new pic of Robin Thicke’s gf! She’s got hair done, makeup on, both boobs out. So strange. What’s the need??"

Wed' wager that her hair and makeup are done because she's, get this, taking a photo.

As for the both boobs out conspiracy, we're no experts, but it appears to be because she's not wearing a shirt.

She continues, indicating that she's not trying to advocate for women hiding themselves when they feed their babies.

"I don’t think it should be done discreetly. I pumped breastmilk publicly ALOT when I had Frankie and Blakely."

She's hung up on the photos.

"I just don’t understand the reason behind posting pics. That’s all. Not hating or shaming I just don’t see why."

People explained to her that the pictures are to help normalzie breastfeeding.

"Breast feeding doesn’t need normalizing. It’s been done (myself included) for YEARS. Why do we need to normalize something that was around before we all were? Lol it’s bizarre that we feel we need to do this"

She's missing the point -- it needs to be normalized because women are still harassed, asked to leave, or even threatened for breastfeeding their babies at some locations.

So celebs share photos to remind everyone that it's no big deal.

April Love noticed the tweets, of course.

She posted her rebuttal on Instagram -- and included some receipts.

"Hey @chanellehayes, maybe the next time you want to criticize me for posting a picture of myself breastfeeding you should really take a look at the pictures you've had taken."

Hayes, of course, has worked as a model in what the British call "Lads" magazines. So, yes, she's posed topless.

But April Love makes it clear that she's not trying to shame Hayes. She just wants to point out that her stance doesn't make sense.

"Not that taking nudes are wrong! The naked body is a beautiful thing! But don't be a hypocrite mama."

Honestly? April Love Geary is definitely Robin Thicke's better half.

As you've likely heard by now, Tristan Thompson was caught cheating on Khloe Kardashian while she was still pregnant with his daughter.

At first it seemed as though the news couldn't get much worse, but now we know that's definitely not the case.

Khloe welcomed her first child earlier this month, but when news of Tristan's infidelity went public, she was still pregnant with baby True.

Just days before the delivery, TMZ published damning video evidence that showed Tristan hooking up with random women while traveling with his team in D.C. and New York.

Needless to say, Khloe was likely not very happy with the revelation, or the fact that she had to learn of her boyfriend's cheating at the same time as the rest of the world, all while six months pregnant.

But to the surprise of many, she didn't immediately break up with Tristan.

However, that doesn't mean he's in the clear. 

According to insiders, Khloe is giving Tristan the chance to make it up to her, but she's also holding off on offering him any sort of forgiveness until she does some digging and finds out if he has any more skeletons in the closet.

“Khloe is waiting to see how many more, if any, side pieces will come forward before she decides whether or not to take back Tristan,” a source close to the situation tells Hollywood Life.

“She fears that Tristan may have random women across the country, in every NBA town. If that is the case, then Khloe will close the door on any chance of keeping her family together.”

Specifically, it seems Khloe is concerned that there's more bad news yet to come, and she doesn't want to be blindsided by Tristan's shady ways a second time.

“She is nervous about something else embarrassing coming out like a sex tape or more pictures of him with other women. Khloe has her team investigating the situation, hunting for any more mistresses and if they find any, it’s over for good," the insider claims.

And it seems there's one fear in particular that's keeping Khloe up nights these days,

“She is terrified at the thought of Tristan possibly having gotten another woman pregnant,” says the source.

It's not hard to see why that specific scenario is Khloe's ultimate concern.

After all, Tristan seems to be the fertile type.

He welcomed a child with ex-girlfriend Jordan Craig while he was already dating Khloe (Craig was several months pregnant when Tristan and Khloe met.), and one of his alleged side-pieces has already revealed she's expecting.

The woman didn't say if the child is Tristan's or not, but it's probably smart of Khloe to hold off on welcoming him back into her life.

For her sake, we kind of hope she and Tristan can work things out.

But also sort of hope she kicks his cheating ass to the curb.

Recently, Little People, Big World viewers got to see Amy Roloff celebrate her one-year anniversary with boyfriend Chris Marek. That was a big deal for her.

But an even bigger event for the entire Roloff family is Jacob's engagement to longtime girlfriend Isabel Rock.

And to celebrate, she's throwing a party. But who's not getting an invitation?

Sharing this sweet group photo, Amy Roloff writes:

"I’m excited that my friend Jack is in town. We’ll catch up on life over a little coffee and goodies from Amy Roloff’s Little Kitchen."

Her fans and followers are not surprised to see that she is monetizing her social media. Some drag her for it, but hey, good for her for making that money.

"Make your get together a little extra special or share with family and friends by ordering today. Enjoy!"

Then she gets down to business, revealing a major family event.

"We’ll be having a party Sunday to celebrate Jacob and Isabel’s engagement."

That is so sweet!

"Woohoo!"

Now, none of the Roloff's have been gushing with details or photos of the party.

(It is perfectly okay for celebrities to designate some activities as private occasions, even something as innocuous as an engagement party)

We do know some details.

For example, Isabel Rock shared this detail about the menu on Twitter:

"Our engagement party is on Earth day, so I requested there be no meat."

Regardless of your opinions on the ethics of meat consumption, we should all acknowledge that the environmental impact from farming livestock can have a hefty impact on the world.

That includes things like widespread antibiotics use on livestock contributing to drug-resistant bacteria. That includes things like waste from livestock being dumped into rivers or sprayed over large areas (yes, really).

It was wonderful of them to consider that. And if you shudder at the idea of a party without any meat on the menu, remember that cake contains zero meat.

Amy Roloff announced the party, so it's likely that it took place at her house.

(Which is just a stone's throw from Matt's home ... which, as we've mentioned, gets super awkward for the divorced parents)

Obviously, Zach and Tori are going to be there. They're even in the photo.

It's likely that Jeremy and Audrey will be there, despite Auj's alleged feud with Jacob.

(People think that Isabel may have diffused that feud anyway)

And it seems likely that Matt will show up.

What we don't know is whether significant others like Caryn Chandler or Chris Marek will be invited.

To avoid conflicts, they might make it a family-only affair.

That isn't the only big event that Jacob and Isabel have planned for this week.

Though the Roloffs are known for taking lots and lots of photos, Isabel is more likely to snap a photo of one of her paintings than she is to snap a selfie.

(Though, to be clear, she still has plenty of pics of herself)

It seems that on Monday, she and Jacob will be doing what fans interpret to be engagement photos.

As Isabel hinted in this self-depricating tweet:

"I've been preparing for like a week to look halfway decent tomorrow and I'll still end up looking like a f--king potato in all the photos I take."

We wonder if Jacob writing about his favorite photo of Isabel, which is not her most flattering, was meant to encourage her to be confident about her appearance. That's so sweet.

Fans responded to Amy's post by issuing their repeated congratulations.

Many also chimed in that they missed seeing Jacob on Little People, Big World.

The reality series was a major -- though certainly not the only -- source of contention that drove Jacob to storm off of Roloff Farms a few years ago.

It was only in late 2017 that he began to reconcile with his family.

That reconciliation began just months before his epic Iceland proposal to Isabel.

We don't know that he'll show up on the series again any time soon.

Especially since fans have not always been kind to him.

Jeremy Calvert is a real rarity in the world of the Teen Mom franchise.

He's a baby daddy who has an actual job other than "part-time reality TV star," and he seems to have made the health and happiness of his daughter his top priority.

As though that's not enough, Calvert is also quick to put Jenelle Evans and David Eason in their place when they get a little too bold in their bigotry.

So it's not hard to see how the pipeline engineer and father of 5-year-old Adalynn became such a hit with the ladies.

Shortly after his relationship with Leah ended, Calvert got engaged to Brooke Wehr.

That ended up being something of a messy, off and on affair, but it seems that at this point Jeremy and Brooke are done for good.

And Calvert basically put the nail in that relationship's coffin this week by going Instagram official with his new girlfriend, Desi Kibler.

Jeremy posted the photo below to Instagram over the weekend, along with a caption reading:

"Road trips with babe...... #sohappy #grateful #shesamazing."

Needless to say, Jeremy seems quite smitten with Desi.

It's unclear how long this relationship has been going on, but according to Kibler, it's certainly not new:

"I’ll make one statement to all the negativity, and then I’m done," she tweeted yesterday.

"This has been going on longer than any of y’all know, kept it under wraps until we were ready. Thank you to all the positive people congratulating us."

Yes, as you can see, Kibler has been laying it on quite thick on Twitter:

Hopefully, these two have secretly been together for quite some time, otherwise, that hashtag probably has Jeremy a little freaked out.

And how does Calvert's baby mama feel about his new boo?

Well, Leah hasn't spoken on the announcement yet, but during a recent appearance on Kailyn Lowry's podcast, she revealed that despite rumors to the contrary, she has no desire to ever reconcile with Calvert.

“I guess at first maybe I considered [getting back together with Jeremy],” Leah said.

“Like, ‘If we are getting along this great, why not try it again for Addie’s sake?’ But at the end of the day, we weren’t happy. We didn’t do well together but we do great as friends.”

Travis Reinking is a wanted man.

And, by many recent accounts, Travis Reinking is also a mentally troubled man.

The 29-year old is the main suspect in a horrific shooting that took place late last week, one in which Reinking allegedly opened fire with an AR-15 and killed four people at a Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee.

Many others at the scene were wounded in the attack and transported to a local hospital.

In a Tweet Monday, the Metro Nashville Police Department said the following about this incident and this search:

"MNPD officers, to include SWAT, have continued the search for Travis Reinking in the Antioch area overnight. There have been no credible sightings. The search will continue.

"All schools in the area have been cleared by officers. He was last seen Sun morn behind his apt complex."

While all able bodies in the area are looking for Travis Reinking, a disturbing profile of the man has emerged online.

It has quite the unusual and spotted history.

In July of 2017, he breached a White House security barrier and said he wanted to meet President Donald Trump.

Reinking told a Secret Service officer at the time that he was "sovereign citizen" who had a "right to inspect the grounds," according to a Metropolitan Police Department incident report dated July 7.

Prior to this bizarre trespassing incident, documents obtained by CNN from the sheriff's office in Tazewell County, Illinois indicate that Reinking was once described by police as exhibiting "delusional" behavior.

"Travis is hostile toward police and does not recognize police authority. Travis also possesses several firearms," an officer wrote in a May 2016 incident report.

This report was penned because Reinking's parents had called emergency services to say their son though Taylor Swift was stalking him, and he had made comments about killing himself.

Wait...what was that about Taylor Swift?!?

On May 27, 2016, a Tazewell County Sheriff's deputy met Reinking and his parents in a drug store parking lot after the latter pair had phoned for assistance, according to authorities.

A paramedic told the responding officer that Reinking believed that Swift was harassing him by stalking and hacking his phone.

This is what an office at the time wrote:

"Travis believed everyone including his own family and the police are involved. Travis stated he did not want to hurt Taylor Swift or anyone else, he only wanted the harassment to stop."

Reinking was candid about what he believed to be taking place.

He told the cop that the harassment started a few weeks earlier when Swift hacked his Netflix account and told him to meet her at a Dairy Queen.

He then told the officer that when he showed up... she ran off and vanished.

It would be very easy to laugh or scoff at this claim.

But it's far harder to do so when you consider that Reinking just reportedly killed four people with a machine gun he likely purchased legally.

About a year after this incident, police were called to deal with Reinking again after someone said he came out of his apartment wearing a dress and holding a rifle.

Shortly after Reinking spoke to police about Swift, a group of policemen convinced him to check into a hospital for a mental evaluation.

But it's unclear what came of this.

"At this point, the young man could be anywhere and whether he might try to return home is a distinct possibility, so our officers are definitely on alert," Tazewell County Sheriff Robert Huston said Sunday in a news conference.

We'll keep readers updated on this situation as more news breaks.

Shania Twain has done worse than her Dancing With The Stars appearance. In a new interview, she stated that if she'd been able to vote in 2016, she would have voted for Trump.

Fans -- in many cases, now ex-fans -- were quick to take to Twitter to share that Shania's words didn't impress them much.

Shania, it seems, has no intention of becoming the next Roseanne Barr, and has issued an apology.

Speaking to The Guardian, Shania Twain said that Trump would have gotten her vote in 2016.

"I would have voted for him because, even though he was offensive, he seemed honest."

She (thankfully) could not vote in the US election, because she is Canadian.

"Do you want straight or polite?"

Some would ask why anyone would ever want someone to be impolite, ever.

"Not that you shouldn't be able to have both."

If someone is being very direct and honest without being polite, then that person is just impolite by nature.

"If I were voting, I just don't want bulls--t. I would have voted for a feeling that it was transparent."

One wonders if she would want, say, a surgeon to come across as being as unpolished as she apparently likes politicians.

"And politics has a reputation of not being that, right?"

A person's first thought might be: "Gee, but the Country Music crowd is totally onboard the Trump Train" or whatever. But that's not entirely true.

Not everyone in rural areas or even every conservative is a Trump fan. Also, when it comes to singers like Shania Twain and Carrie Underwood, a lot of Country music fans are gay men.

Though, from the tweets that followed the article, Shania has lost a number of fans.

"Bye Shania."

Short and to the point.

"More like Shania Twain’t."

Very groanworthy.

"The same impeccable judge of character that she used to pick her best friend and her husband."

Famously, Shania Twain was heartbroken when her husband left her for her best friend. She is not over it. That's very understandable.

Another followed up a screencap of the article title with an image of Shania saying: "That don't impress me much."

Then there's this, marking the exodus of many of her former fans who will just never look at her the same way again.

The person in that video is saying "bye, b--ch."

Some of Shania's fans expressed bewilderment or even outrage at the idea that people would stop liking her because of her "opinion."

When someone's opinion identifies them with the viewpoints of someone who has done everything in his power to oppose human rights, at home and abroad, that "opinion" becomes dangerous.

It's not like picking a favorite color. The color yellow may be ugly, but it never tried to ban Muslim refugees.

That is why Shania's comments felt like such a betrayal to so many fans.

Shania noticed, of course, and issued an apology and clarification on Instagram.

"I would like to apologize to anybody I have offended in a recent interview with the Guardian relating to the American President."

She says that her answer came from a lack of preparation.

"The question caught me off guard. As a Canadian, I regret answering this unexpected question without giving my response more context."

Okay, we're admittedly curious about what the context may have been.

"I am passionately against discrimination of any kind."

That's good ... though also odd to hear from someone who would have voted for the man whose administration is rolling back historic LGBT+ protections.

"And hope it's clear from the choices I have made, and the people I stand with, that I do not hold any common moral beliefs with the current President."

So why, exactly, did she decide to say that she would have voted for Trump?

"I was trying to explain, in response to a question about the election, that my limited understanding was that the President talked to a portion of America like an accessible person they could relate to, as he was NOT a politician."

Again, we'd ask if she'd want a surgeon who is super prepared to perform surgery, or a surgeon who is casual and every bit as incoherent as someone's racist uncle.

"My answer was awkward, but certainly should not be taken as representative of my values nor does it mean I endorse him."

So she's not for Trump, but we suppose that she's saying that his apparent authenticity would have tricked her into voting for him? Weird. And worrisome.

"I make music to bring people together. My path will always be one of inclusivity, as my history shows."

At least she apologized.

While the rumors have yet to be confirmed, lots of folks are already in love with the idea that Brad Pitt is dating Neri Oxman, a world-renowned architect and MIT professor, who reportedly caught the actor's eye last year.

But not everyone is so thrilled with the notion of Brad ditching Hollywood to hook up with a European academic.

For starters, there are reports that Angelina Jolie is pissed about Brad and Neri, as she believes (probably quite rightly) that Pitt's new boo has her thoroughly outclassed in terms of intellectual cred and political awareness.

Then there's Jennifer Aniston who - according to a hilarious report from an Australian tabloid - is angry about the situation for much more Jerry Springer-esque reasons.

Put simply, Jen feels that Neri is out to steal her man!

Now, if you're not familiar with Aussie tabloids, we should take a moment to point out that they generally make The National Enquirer look like The New York Times.

These publications pretty much just make up whatever the hell they want, and their readers are presumably too busy fending off dingo-sized spiders and to notice that it's all pure BS.

In that spirit, the magazine New Idea is claiming that Jen is ready to throw down with Neri if she doesn't keep her brainy ass away from Brad.

“Jen is going to fight for Brad, plain and simple," a "source" tells the tabloid.

“She’s determined that nothing will get in the way of her happiness,” the fictitious insider continues.

New Idea's imaginary tipster, even goes so far as to claim that Jen had a stern sit-down with Neri, during which she basically went full-Godfather.

“Last weekend [Aniston] went and saw Neri, and had a face-to-face with her,” claims the source.

“Jen was firm with Neri and told her to stay away from Brad and not come between them.”

Don't get us wrong, we love the idea of a Jen in full badass mode, crushing a tumbler of Scotch with her bare hands to demonstrate what she'd do to Neri's skull.

Unfortunately, like the long-rumored Aniston-Pitt reunion, it seems this one is simply too good to be true.

Fortunately, the folks Down Under are happy to provide us with these amusing fan fictions.

Late last month, Abby Lee Miller was released from prison after eight and a half months behind bars, and moved to a halfway house. 

Abby underwent treatment for what was believed to be an infection ... and has unfortunately been diagnosed with cancer.

Now, she's released a selfie from the hospital with a message for her supporters.

Early last week, Miller underwent emergency surgery over pain in her neck and increasing levels of paralysis in her extremeties.

At the time, it was believed to have been caused by an infection. 

Unfortunately, it turned out to be more complicated than an infection, and will need more than antibiotics to treat.

The former Dance Moms star has cancer, specifically in the form of Burkitt lymphoma, a type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that was first identified in the 1950s.

Now, for the first time since that diagnosis, she's opening up with a statement.

And that statement accompanies a powerful selfie from her hospital bed.

In the captions beside this very vulnerable photo, Miller writes:

"So much gratitude and love for those who listened, those who looked deeper, and those who leapt into action."

She doesn't mention the cancer, but ... she knows that we all know.

"So much more I wish I could say......about how quickly your life can change at the hands of others."

She extends her thanks.

"Thanks for [the love]."

She spelled out that love with emojis, and then followed it with a number of tags.

"#abbyleemiller #abbylee #aldc #aldcla #aldcalways #dancemoms #iwilldance"

That caption is very raw and genuine and it really tugs at your heartstrings.

(If she were a Millennial, she probably would have written "I lived b--ch," after the meme, and left it at that, but there's probably no wrong way to post a selfie after you've undergone surgery)

The good news is that Burkitt lymphoma has a 90% survival rate.

The bad news is that the survival rate is said to be lower among adults, among whom this particular form of lymphoma is considerably less common.

That said, Abby Lee Miller is nothing if not a fighter.

She is expected to undergo both chemotherapy and radiation therapy.

This is actually the first glimpse that Abby Lee Miller has given the world of herself following her stint in prison, during which she apparently lost a great deal of weight.

(They weren't starving her -- she underwent weight loss surgery before going behind bars)

You can see how the shape of her face has changed, even though you can only see part of it.

All things considered, she looks great.

We wish that the photo had come under better circumstances.

No one, even controversial reality stars, deserves cancer.

As she undergoes treatment, one of the top priorities for Abby's well-being will be that she remain hydrated.

Doctors are not yet certain whether her lymphoma has spread, as it is known to do.

The good news about Burkitt lymphoma, which is a fast-spreading cancer, is that it tends to respond more quickly to treatment than slow-spreading cancers.

We certainly hope that Miller will make a full recovery as soon as possible.
