I don't pay attention to tabloids

Bristol Palin has said that she doesn't pay attention to what is written in the tabloids.

The Dancing With The Stars contestant was asked by Radar Online for her thoughts on ex-fiancé Levi Johnston's recent comments that she likes the limelight as much as he does.

"I haven't heard anything, I don't pay attention to the tabloid stuff, I don't pay attention to what he's doing," she answered.

"I don't think this is that kind of spotlight, I'm doing something for myself and something fun and positive."

The 19-year-old daughter of former Alaskan governor Sarah added to Access Hollywood that she is feeling "nervous" about her dancefloor debut at the moment, but predicts she will step out of her shell when the competition begins: "I'm not used to this kind of stuff but I'm stepping out of my element and I'm ready to have a good time."

She added that her baby son with Johnston will be in Los Angeles while she competes, and that a family friend has moved down from Alaska to help care for him.

Michael Douglas On Throat Cancer

Dealing with a hefty medical challenge, Michael Douglas pushed forth with promotional efforts for "Wall Street 2: Money Never Sleeps" with a "Late Show with David Letterman" appearance on Tuesday (August 31).

Greeting fans as he entered the Ed Sullivan theatre, the 65-year-old actor opened up about his throat cancer diagnosis while telling Letterman that "it hurts a lot."

Offering up details on the situation, Douglas says that he was informed of the condition - which is labeled as Stage 4 cancer - following a doctor's appointment for an extremely sore throat.

Having just finished up with the first week of radiation and chemotherapy, Michael admits "that it's about an eight-week struggle."

Utilizing drugs to ease the pain, the big screen legend later replied to a comment from Dave about how good he looks, saying, "Let's just say I'm pretty lit up -- I'm pretty lit up right now."

On a positive note, Michael added that the cancer is yet to spread beneath the neck, which lands him at an eighty percent chance of recovery.
