Faced with a diagnosis of breast cancer, E! TV host Giuliana Rancic elected to have a double mastectomy two weeks ago.  On Friday, she opened up to The Today Show‘s Matt Lauer about her surgery experience and her recovery.

“I knew this was going to be a tough surgery, but I in no way want to minimize it.  Yes, I’m two and a half weeks out, but up until a week and a half ago it was hell. It was horrible.”

Rancic explained that she had a bad reaction to the drugs given to her to minimize her pain.

“I went into surgery at 4 PM and got out around 9:30 PM.  By 4 AM I had to get off the morphine because I was so sick and I thought to myself, ‘[If you throw up] you have to engage all of your chest muscles,’ and I just had my chest operated on.”

She admits she has been relying heavily on her husband, Bill Rancic, to help her following the operation.

“I can’t really turn much to put my seatbelt on.  He has to help me get in and out of bed, get dressed…it’s a lot of limited mobility and pain.”

Despite it all, she continues to stay positive, saying that now she’s “feeling great.”

Emma Watson is her usual classy and sexy self in her latest ad for Lancôme.    She’s introducing the cosmetic company’s new Rouge In Love line of lipsticks.  The line features 24 shades, offered at $25 each, and is directed at a teen consumer.

Lancôme International President Youcef Nabi explained:

“…the idea is to make this young generation — that has been a gloss fan — come back to using lipsticks…they were complaining about the fact that the classical lipsticks were heavy on lips.  So we invented a formula which is a brand new generation of texture that is at the same time very intense color and six-hour perfect wear.”

Watson worked with the company to create the range of shades, and if that’s not appealing enough to young women, Lancôme plans to make the line even more youth friendly by introducing a new app, Virtual Mirror, along with the lipsticks.    Nabi commented:

“You will be able to try all the shades by downloading your picture.  It’s really you transformed [before] your eyes.”

She also revealed details about Vernis In Love, a collection of matching nail polishes.

“Lipstick doesn’t come without a nail enamel.  It’s the ultimate fashion accessory.”

You can find Rouge In Love and Vernis In Love online and at Nordstrom stores beginning in February.

Sinead O’Connor and Barry Herridge have already called it quits – just days after their Las Vegas wedding at the beginning of December.

The 45 year-old singer revealed her split from Herridge on her website and told a British publication she realized it was doomed shortly after exchanging vows.

“It felt like I was living in a coffin. It was going to be a coffin for both of us and I saw him crushed,” O’Connor told The Sun. “The whole reason I ended it was out of respect and love for the man.”

Among the problems that came to light for the couple was that O’Connor took her newlywed husband to buy weed – and he’s a drug counselor.

“We ended up in a cab in some place that was quite dangerous. I wasn’t scared — but he’s a drugs counselor. What was I thinking?” she said. “Then I was handed a load of crack. Barry was very frightened — that kind of messed everything up a bit really.”

The “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer decided she needed to end the union to the 38 year-old, which took place on December 8th at the Little White Wedding Chapel.

“The whole reason I ended it was out of respect and love for the man,” O’Connor said.

O’Connor also said she won’t marry again and that she doesn’t think she “will even date anyone” else now.

This was the fourth marriage for Sinead.
