Yesterday morning Giuliana Rancic stunned Ann Curry and the 'Today' show audience when she revealed live on-air that she has breast cancer.

Now she has spoken candidly to her 'E! News' co-host Ryan Seacrest about her diagnosis and her decision to take something so private and place it out there in the public domain.

Speaking to Seacrest via satellite from New York Monday night Rancic said that she was "a nervous wreck" before going on-air, but that she's glad she did it.

"I feel like such a heavy weight has been lifted off my shoulders. I've been keeping this secret from a lot of dear friends for a while now and it's nice to get it out there and not hide anymore."

Rancic also hopes that by going public with her battle she can help educate women about the importance of regular breast exams and screening.

Yesterday, we reported that Charlie Sheen could be reporting back to work within the next couple of weeks. Today, we hear that the rehabbing star is feeling contrite. Sort of.

In a statement released to the media by Sheen's publicist, Stan Rosenfeld, the actor said: "I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people. I want to say thank you to my fellow castmembers, the crew of 'Two and a Half Men' and everyone at CBS and Warner Bros., especially [CBS CEO] Les Moonves and [Warner Bros. TV President] Bruce Rosenblum for their concern and support."

Comparing himself to another infamous Hollywood hellraiser, Sheen continued: "And to my fans, your good wishes have touched me very much. Like Errol Flynn, who had to put down his sword on occasion, I just want to say, 'thank-you'."

Six months ago, Giuliana Rancic suffered a miscarriage. The E! News anchor spent over a year attempting to become pregnant, then underwent in vitro fertilization. After the IVF process, Guiliana became pregnant, but had a miscarriage eight weeks later.

Giuliana announced her miscarriage after the fact, using her hosting position on the E! Network. On 'Giuliana & Bill' (Mon., 8PM ET on Style), she recounts this decision. She brought up the topic on national cable TV so that "it would be done" -- and so she could move forward and not discuss it again. "It was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do," she added.

On the new season of 'Giuliana & Bill' (Mon., 8PM ET on Style), Giuliana Rancic is pregnant, but hasn't announced it publicly yet. Now, she's worried about gaining weight, and about letting co-workers in on her little secret.

One major problem for Giuliana is that she's gaining weight, which could lead to wardrobe issues for her hosting gig. And her stylist José isn't really helping to calm her down. While having her try on a "sample size" dress, he asks, "Is your mother in town?" "Why?" Rancic asks. "Because of the weight," he replies.

José doesn't know about the pregnancy either, and so he's implying that Giuliana is shoveling down her mother's Italian food. Not helpful.

You may have seen that Billy Bob Thornton interview in Toronto. Last night he explained what happened to Jimmy Kimmel. He also says that if you enjoyed the odd interview, then you're a humpback geek (which will be my new band name if I ever start one).
