RANCIC: U.S. television personality Giuliana Rancic was recovering at home Thursday after undergoing a double lumpectomy for breast cancer, her husband said.

Her surgery was performed Tuesday, husband Bill Rancic told NBC's "Today" show. She was out of the hospital and resting at home, he said.

The E! news anchor had cancerous lumps removed from both breasts, along with several lymph nodes.

"She's a trooper, she pulled through it and was kind of relieved to get it over with and get the cancer out and is doing well at home ... I'm adding nurse to my resume now," Bill said.

Bill Rancic said his wife's prognosis is good.

"We're viewing this as a gift. It was caught very very early and we're going back to the doctor tomorrow," he said. "They had to remove a couple of lymph nodes and we're hoping we get a report tomorrow."


LEVINE: Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine is demanding Fox News Channel stop playing his music.

Levine, a coach on NBC's "The Voice," tweeted Wednesday, "Dear Fox News, don't play our music on your evil ... channel ever again. Thank you."

When MTV News asked the conservative-leaning news channel to comment, Fox News responded with tweets from anchors Greg Gutfeld and Andy Levy of "Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld." Levy tweeted, "Dear @AdamLevine, don't make crappy ... music ever again. Thank you."

MTV said Thursday it was unclear what prompted Levine's angry tweet.


BON JOVI: Rocker Jon Bon Jovi has opened a non-profit restaurant in Red Bank, N.J., that targets poverty and hunger through its community kitchen concept.

There are no prices on the menu at Soul Kitchen, which opened Wednesday in a former auto body shop in Bon Jovi's home state. Diners can earn meals through volunteer hours in the kitchen or the local community. Cash donations are accepted from those who are able to pay.

Bon Jovi said the Soul Kitchen, which has been serving meals since 2009 in two different pilot locations as part of the Jon Bon Jovi Soul Foundation, now has a permanent home.

"At a time when one in five households are living at or below the poverty level, and at a time when one out of six Americans are food insecure, this is a restaurant whose time has come. This is a place based on and built on community -- by and for the community," Bon Jovi said Wednesday in a statement.

Food is provided by Soul Kitchen's own organic gardens and donations by Whole Foods Market Middletown, N.J., in partnership with their vendors.


NUGENT: Rocker Ted Nugent, an avid hunter, says Ohio Gov. John Kasich is to blame for a devastating exotic animal escape near Zanesville, Ohio.

Nugent, who is known for his support of gun ownership and hunting rights, said Kasich should never have ended an executive order from the previous governor that banned exotic animal ownership.

"These are real, wild, dangerous, capable and dangerous animals and they belong in the wild," Nugent told The Detroit News Wednesday.

Nearly 50 animals, including 17 lions and 18 tigers, were killed by deputies Wednesday after the owner of an exotic game preserve freed dozens of wild animals Wednesday before committing suicide.

"I think it's a downright tragedy when people attempt to keep dangerous wild animals in captivity -- I think it should be criminal," he said.

Nugent told the newspaper he was the "only dangerous carnivore" on his 1,200-acre Michigan hunting ranch. "And I'm totally controlled by Mrs. Nugent," he said.
