The great Valerie Harper appeared on the the Today show this morning with brilliant news: her doctors says her brain cancer is “close to remission.” The doctor says, “She defies the odds.” She received a death sentence last winter but has beaten the odds. She’s made a TV movie since then, and will appear “Dancing with the Stars.” I will even watch that show just to see Valerie win. This is the power of positive thinking. Bravo, Valerie!

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
