The Wall Street star, Michael Douglas, acknowledges the challenge that lies ahead, however he’s ready to fight. The 65-year-old husband of Catherine Zeta-Jones admits, “It’s a fight,” as he undergoes radiation and chemotherapy treatments for his recently diagnosed stage 4 throat cancer, he adds, “It really knocks you out.”

In this week’s cover story of PEOPLE, Douglas explained he received his diagnosis three weeks ago after experiencing chronic pain in his throat and ear. Zeta-Jones explains the suffering to see her hard-working husband slowed from the toxicity of his treatment. “The hardest part is seeing his fatigue, because Michael is never tired.”

The couple have two children Dylan, 10, and Carys, 7, and Zeta-Jones explained, “Daddy sat them down and told them he has cancer now.” Douglas says it has been “a pretty intense year,” receiving the diagnosis just months after seeing his oldest son sentenced to five years in prison on drug charges.

Douglas is starring in a new film Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, which will be released on September 24. His wife says, “if there’s anything Michael has, it’s strength.” We hope this battle is short and that Douglas will soon be cancer-free.

The ultimate infidelity scandal has reached the inevitable. Tiger Woods and his supermodel wife, Elin Nordegren, finalized their divorce on Monday, according to a joint statement from the ex-couple’s attorneys.

It was last Thanksgiving when the allegations of Wood’s serial infidelities surfaced. The statement said, “We are sad that our marriage is over and we wish each other the very best for the future,” and continued, “While we are no longer married, we are the parents of two wonderful children and their happiness has been, and will always be, of paramount importance to both of us.”

The judgment of the Woods divorce, was issued in Bay County, Florida has offered “shared parenting of their two children,” according to the attorneys. During this transition into Splitsville, the former pair ask for privacy while adjusting “to a new family situation.”

On Monday, Nordegren cited their marriage as “irretrivably broken” as the reason for divorce in the dissolution of marriage petition. Sounds about right. On July 3, a settlement was agreed upon including the shared parenting responsibilities. Florida offers a 20-day delay period before a final judgment, which the couple chose to waive. Additionally, Elin has submitted the request to have her name restored to Elin Maria Pernilla Nordegren.

Attorneys for Tiger and Elin have refused to further comment on anything other than what the joint statement says. When asked about a prenuptial agreement or the settled agreement, Woods’ agent, Mark Steinberg also declined to comment, “We’re not commenting beyond what was in the release.”

The passing of Martin Short’s wife, Nancy Dolman, was relatively soon as she was just 58-years-old. However, her death was from natural causes, confirmed by the chief coroner.

Los Angeles County Coroner Chief, Craig Harvey, explained, “Nancy Doman was under the care of a private physician for a natural disease,” telling PEOPLE, “There will be no coroner involvement.” Back in 2007, it was reported Dolman had been battling cancer, but a publicist for Short would not comment on her cause of death.

A 911 call was made from Martin Short’s home on Saturday, and his wife had passed away. The couple were married for 30 years and have three children together, Katherine, 26; Oliver, 24; and Henry, 21.

Barf!  Looks as if Jesse James is completely over Sandra Bullock! About time, he finds someone slightly on his level.  Jesse James and LA Ink star Kat Von D were caught on camera walking hand-in-hand in Fredricksburg, Texas.  The two spent a “romantic” weekend together which included a visit to the World War 2 museum! Wow, sounds so romantic!  Hah!

According to the photographer, “Jesse and Kat looked totally head over heels for each other. It’s not just because they both have tattoos that they’re a perfect match, these two were just so comfortable together and looked like they’d been boyfriend-girlfriend forever.”

Kat confirmed the relationship on Twitter two weeks ago, when she wrote “Yes, Jesse and I are dating”–but then deleted the post moments later.

Oh spare me…How long do you think these two will last?

Looks like the ultimate ladies’ man, Charlie Sheen, will avoid jail time all together for the assault charges on Christmas Day in Aspen. Also, the Two and Half Men star will not be required to do public service in the Aspen community.

Pleading guilty to misdemeanor third-degree assault, dropped two other more serious charges including a felony charge of menacing. The sentencing Sheen received was 30 days in a rehab facility, 30 days of probation and 36 hours of anger management.

Sheen had a 30 day deadline to make arrangements at Promises Treatment Center in California, however whether he attends remains in limbo. According to Sheen’s attorney, Yale Galanter, Charlie has already spent 93 days at the facility since the new year and could possibly credit that time toward his sentence. Galanter said, “Credit for time served is absolutely on the table. How much credit he gets is up to Promises.”

In a statement after his hearing and receiving sentencing, Sheen said, “I’m very grateful to the court and to the people of Pitkin County. I look forward to complying with the court’s decision, getting on with my life and putting this behind me.”
