Len Goodman has cancer


Dancing with the Stars judge Len Goodman is suffering from cancer, and no one had any clue. Len just underwent surgery to remove a tumor from his prostate -- a tumor that's been there since March, which is around the time he was still filming the latest season of Dancing. Len said he didn't tell anyone but his family and close friends because he just didn't think it was "necessary to blabber it out to everyone."

I could have said 'sorry' and not done the show, but the doctors felt I wasn't riddled with it and it wasn't so far advanced that it was a life-or-death scenario. It takes a few weeks to get everything set up for the operation anyway, so I went ahead and did the show. I had the surgery done as soon as I got back from America.

Since the surgery, Len said "everything's gorgeously good" and he's "right as rain." At this rate, it's good to see that we'll at least be able to keep one celebrity over the age of 50 for a few more years.
