Whitfield, Star of TV's Spartacus, Dies of Cancer...

Andy Whitfield, who starred in TV's Spartacus: Blood and Sand, only to leave the show to treat a recurrence of non Hodgkin lymphoma, died Sunday of the disease at age 39.

The actor's wife Vashti said in a statement that the "beautiful young warrior" died on a "sunny Sydney morning" in the "arms of his loving wife," the Associated Press reports.

Born in Wales and a resident of Australia, Andy was preparing for a second season in September 2010 when he announced that he would not be returning to the Starz series so he could undergo aggressive cancer treatment. He was replaced by actor Liam McIntyre.

In Andy's statement, he said, "It seems that it is time for myself and my family to embark on another extraordinary journey."

Lindsay Lohan slams sister surgery reports...

Actress Lindsay Lohan has slammed rumors her younger sister Ali has had cosmetic surgery, insisting she would "never" go under the knife.

Ali came under the spotlight this week after she was snapped looking drastically different, with a skinny frame, fuller lips and a more angular face.

The striking images have caused gossips to speculate Ali has had surgery to change her features, but now her sister has hit back at the reports.

Lindsay says, "No way! Never!"

And Alexis Borges, a spokesperson at Ali's model agency Next Model Management, is also refuting the claims, saying, "Contrary to recent reports, I can confirm that Aliana Lohan has not had any surgery. As a young girl who is growing up, it's natural for her facial features to change slightly, and we see this with many of the younger models we represent.

"Aliana is a beautiful 17-year-old girl who is growing into her face and body, as is the norm for someone of her age. We take pastoral care of our models very seriously and encourage the models to maintain a healthy lifestyle and body shape."

Ashton Kutcher bares all for Ellen DeGeneres...

Ashton Kutcher is set to shock fans by baring all on Monday's "Ellen DeGeneres Show."

According to a promo, the new star of sitcom "Two and a Half Men" appears naked on the season nine premiere episode, which was taped this week.

His privates are pixelated but there's very little doubt he bared all for TV host Ellen in the backstage skit.

Ashton is dressed in a robe for the comedy sketch and when the host asks him if he's ready for the show, he says, "I'm ready. This is it."

He asks, "Have you seen the ad for the show ('Two and a Half Men')...? It's getting a lot of attention. So I just figured I'm going to do everything nude from now on... Whatever I'm doing I'm just going to do it nude. Let's do this."

In the ad he's referring to, Ashton and co-stars Jon Cryer and Angus T. Jones appear naked behind a billboard they are holding, which reads: "All will be revealed... 09.19.11". Ashton's debut on the show airs on September 19.
