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 daughter and only child of former president Bill Clinton and his husband wife, Hilary, Chelsea Clinton tied the knot with her longtime beau, Marc Mezvinsky. Honestly, can you imagine one groomsman at the altar not saying, “Don’t do it, Marc!”?

Anyway, apparently Chelsea looked really pretty (at her standard anyway) her half-uncle Roger Clinton told Entertainment Tonight, “She was more beautiful than ever,” as the 30-year-old bride walked down the aisle in a Vera Wang gown with her daddy. Roger added, “It was a great night.”

It was a grand event that took place at the lavish, Astor family palace in Rhinebeck, N.Y. One guest said, “Marc gave an eloquent speech about his love for Chelsea,” adding, “At the end of his speech, he ignored the rest of the room and looked very intense. He looked right into Chelsea’s eyes. Oh, it was something. The whole room was quiet. You could feel the energy in the room. He impressed a lot of people.”

Another guest added, “Bill’s chin began quivering and he tried to fake a smile as a tear came down his cheek. He whispered something into Chelsea’s ear, and she wiped the tear off his face. It was so touching. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.” Give me a break. There isn’t a genuine bone in his body, and it was probably the first and only honest moment in his life and that’s why he cried.

In another wedding highlight, the father of the bride gave a toast to his daughter, the newlywed. A guest said, “Bill’s toast was vintage Bill Clinton. He spoke elegantly about what it was like to welcome Marc into the family.” Another guest added, “It hit all the right marks. It was perfect.” Are you surprised? Clinton is a charismatic SOB, how do you think he became president and almost got away with an affair in the Oval Office? Anyway, as long as Chelsea doesn’t apply any of her parents’ advice to her own marriage she should be okay.

My have the times changed!? The chosen form for James Van Der Beek’s wedding announcement was Twitter. Before watching his love, Kimberly Brook, walk down the aisle, James tweeted, “Best day of my life so far…”

After the nuptials, the Dawson’s Creek star tweeted with a typo, “The woman I love did me the honor of became my wife today … I look forward to earning her for the rest of my life.” The details of the big day were kept mum, but in June, Brook told PEOPLE, “We’re so excited to announce we are expecting a girl this fall. We are thinking and taking suggestions for names, but we have no idea what to call her right now.”

Just 5 months ago, Van Der Beek reached a divorce settlement with his wife of six years, Heather Ann McComb.  We knew Dawson Leery was always a sucker for love, but he really doesn’t mess around!

Nope, it’s not Michelle. Unfortunately, it’s actually President Barack Obama who will be making an appearance on The View. Michelle Obama would be plenty acceptable to interview and she actually could even be offered a permanent spot by the time the episode wraps. Anyway, Barack Obama will be the first current president to appear on the daytime talk show and will be recording a pre-taped interview with the five completely irrational women on Wednesday.

The hogwash interview will include topics such as his celebrity sponsors administration’s accomplishments, magazine/tabloid covers jobs, most powerful celebrity couples the economy, James Cameron’s advice the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, and of course his friendship with Oprah family life in the White House. Because that’s what is most  important. It’s not important that he’s the President of the United States and likely has other things on his check list to be working on instead of flying Air Force One to New York City and wasting our time and his on a daytime talk show that nobody watches anyhow. It’s a beautiful thing.

You can be sure the ladies of The View are all ecstatic about the presidential visit with the exception of Elisabeth Hasselbeck. The show is usually focused around tabloid headlines and celebrity promotional interviews. Like the time Obama went on the show in 2004 to promote his book, “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.” What did he inherit? A green card … citizenship? Interesting.

The democratic Governor of Pennsylvania, Ed Rendell, expressed his opinion that The View may not be an appropriate forum for the sitting president of the United States. “I think the president should be accessible, should answer questions that are pre-screened, but I think there should be a little bit of dignity to the presidency.” Well, that all went out the window ages ago on late night television. So Randell suggests, “If I was advising President Obama, I’d say do as much ad hoc as you can do,” adding, “He doesn’t have to be scripted, he doesn’t have to be telepromptered.” And he may as well throw back a beer bong while he’s off the clock.

Does anyone else find it incredibly annoying how the world and the media have transformed the president into a baseball statistic? Every time President Obama pops up somewhere he’s making some historical record. For example, “Today, the President will make history on The View.” Next time Obama’s going to wear a purple shirt instead of a white shirt and the headline will be “Today, the President will make history on The View. He’s never worn a purple shirt on The View ever before.” Spare me.

The White House spokesman Robert Gibbs explained, “Look, I think it is another opportunity for the president to talk to people where they are. We made a decision to put the president on Jay Leno, David Letterman, The View, because that’s where — people have busy lives and it’s best to go where they are. And I think that’s what the president will do tomorrow.” Or, maybe he’ll do a standup comedy act about his dwindling approval ratings? Because that’s a winner EVERY time. Will somebody watch this and let us know what happens … apparently unlike our president, we have work to do.
