Doctors are rushing Alex Trebek in for an unexpected round of chemotherapy because his battle with pancreatic cancer has taken a turn for the worse. He announced Tuesday morning, \u201cThis past summer we thought I was finished with chemo. That was a bit premature and certainly overly optimistic.\u201d Trebek says he started immunotherapy \u2026 but it didn\u2019t work. He went on to say with a smile that chemo \u201cworked very well the first time, so, we\u2019re expecting good results again.\u201d He was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer in March.<\/p>\n

Instead, they got in touch with a comic book store in downtown St. Louis called Apotheosis Comics & Lounge.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And the owner told them he was VERY interested in their collection . . . because it turned out he was the guy they STOLE them from.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The owner’s name is Martin Cass.\u00a0 He recently put his personal comic book collection in storage while renovating his house.\u00a0 And when he found out they’d been stolen, he told his staff to let him know if anyone called trying to sell a large collection of comics.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When the couple called, an employee told them to bring their comics in.\u00a0 So they dropped off a box.\u00a0 And it had Martin’s handwriting on it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Police were there waiting to arrest them when they came back.\u00a0 Then cops found a bunch of other random stuff linked to MORE storage unit thefts.\u00a0 No word yet on how much jail time they’re facing.<\/p>\n

slept BETTER.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And it didn’t matter how big the dog was, or how much it moved during the night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The researchers say, quote, “Most people assume having pets in the bedroom is a disruption.\u00a0 We found that many people actually find comfort and a sense of security from sleeping with their pets.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And one of the main reasons is, quote, “Today, many pet owners are away from their pets for much of the day, so they want to maximize their time with them when they are home.”<\/p>\n

looked at the list, and it was all male artists, and I thought, hmm. \u00a0And then I refreshed and refreshed and refreshed.”<\/p>\n It wasn’t until the 136th recommendation that she finally got to\u00a0Carrie Underwood’s<\/strong>\u00a0“Church Bells”<\/strong><\/em>.\u00a0 Quote, “My heart started pounding, and I started thinking ‘this can’t be right, this can’t be right.'”<\/p>\n She took photos of the 10-song lists and posted them on Instagram for her 355,000 followers to see.\u00a0 That got the attention of a woman from Spotify.\u00a0 She met Martina for coffee. . . and told her that their engineers were “trying to fix it.”\u00a0 But that was it.<\/p>\n Martina would like them to go public with details or at least make an announcement that they’re working on it.\u00a0 Quote, “I find it shocking that they feel so indestructible that they don’t even take the time to make a comment about this.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n JORDAN DAVIS AND WIFE WILL BE SURPRISED BY BABY’S GENDER
