Star Wars skips Comic Con and preps for Disney's D23! The D23 Expo is Disney's big, biannual fan convention, that is specifically for Disney projects. And Lucasfilm has decided to make D23 their big stage to let fans in on some of what they've been working on so far for Star Wars Episode VII. Right now, they have a couple of interesting events lined up. One is called Darth Vader: The Evolution of a Villain AND if you're a bit behind on all of the Star Wars madness, there is an event called a Crash Course in the Force: Star Wars Saga 101, which sounds like you will learn everything you need to know to catch you up to speed. There are some rumors floating around from 'insiders' that some of the actors taking part in the new JJ Abrams, directed Star Wars will be making appearances to confirm who they will be playing in Episode VII. However, no confirmation has come from Disney just yet. But if some of the stars did show up, we would definitely anticipate Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, and Mark Hamill to be there, since there has been more evidence that has these three will in fact return based on leaked information and slip ups in interviews. And it is possible that Disney will actually announce some other cool things like a new title for the movie, or even better...maybe introduce some of the new cast members! We haven't heard much on any of the new cast members, other than a very vague character breakdown list from a few weeks ago. But as tigh

Oscar-winning actress Angelina Jolie announced on Tuesday that she had a preventative mastectomy after learning she had a gene that significantly raised her risk of breast cancer. Here's a crash course in the procedure Jolie had and why.
Q: What kind of surgery did Jolie have?
A: Jolie had a preventative double mastectomy, meaning she chose to have both her breasts removed even though she had not been diagnosed with cancer.
Q: Why did she have the mastectomies?
A: Jolie says that she has a 'faulty' version of the BRCA1 gene that means she had an 87 percent chance of getting breast cancer. By having both breasts removed preventatively, she said her breast cancer risk drops to below 5 percent.
Q: What did the procedure involve?
A: In double mastectomies, surgeons typically remove as much breast tissue as possible. In Jolie's case, because she was having a reconstruction done shortly afterward, the doctors preserved the skin covering her breasts, inserting 'fillers' where the breast tissue would have been, to keep the skin elastic. According to Jolie, she had implants put in nine weeks later.
Q: How many women have this faulty gene?
A: Only a small percentage of women have this same faulty gene, or a similar mutated version of a related gene, BRCA2. These mutations are most commonly found in women of Eastern European Jewish descent; one study found 2.3 percent of women in that group had the mut

Angelina Jolie had a preventative double mastectomy, meaning she chose to have both her breasts removed even though she had not been diagnosed with cancer.
A Canadian breast cancer specialist wants people to learn from actress Angelina Jolie's experience and seek genetic testing.
Jolie wrote an op-ed piece that appeared in the New York Times Tuesday called 'My Medical Choice' about her decision to have a preventive double mastectomy after her mother died of cancer at age 56 and tests for the 'faulty' BRCA 1 mutation revealed she had a high likelihood of developing breast and ovarian cancer.
Below we answer some questions about the procedure:
Is the testing covered in Canada?
Provincial health plans cover the cost of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation testing in patients that meet criteria, such as a diagnosis of breast or ovarian cancer in a family history.
'Only 10 per cent of the women with a mutation have been identified, so if we can use this to increase the number to 20 or 25 per cent I think that would be an opportunity,' said Dr. Steven Narod, director of the Familial Breast Cancer Research Unit at Women's College Research Institute in Toronto.
The main factors that keep women from getting the blood test for the mutation are that they don't know that tests are available and doctors don't regularly ask about family medical hist

In article titled 'My Medical Choice' the Tomb Raider star writes describes taking drastic medical action to reassure her children she won't die of the disease that killed their grandmother aged 56.
Brad Pitt today hailed the courage of his fiance Angelina Jolie after she revealed that she has undergone a double mastectomy to lower the risk of her getting breast cancer - the disease that killed her mother almost a decade ago.
In an article for The New York Times entitled 'My Medical Choice,' Jolie says that she completed three months of medical procedures at the end of April that she had so far managed to keep out of the public eye.
Jolie explains that her own mother died of breast cancer at the age of 56 and that she herself had the 'faulty' BRCA1 gene, which increased her chances of getting the disease to 87 per cent, and of getting ovarian cancer to 50 per cent.
Pitt called her decision to undergo a double mastectomy 'absolutely heroic'
Speaking to the Evening Standard, he said: “Having witnessed this decision first hand, I find Angie’s choice, as well as so many others like her, absolutely heroic. I thank our medical team for their care and focus'.
He added: 'All I want for is for her to have a long and healthy life, with myself and our children. This is a happy day for our family.”
