Pamela Anderson's 12-day marriage and more ICYMI news from February 2020

Short and dramatic marriage

That was fast! In early February — just 12 days after they exchanged vows — Pamela Anderson and producer Jon Peters confirmed they'd split. Then came a confusing game of he said/she said. Pamela reportedly realized she'd made a mistake just a day and a half into the union — which ultimately was not legally binding as they didn't file their marriage certificate following their Jan. 20 nuptials — and called things off with Jon, whom she found to be "too controlling," a source told Page Six. Then on Feb. 10, Page Six reported that the "A Star is Born" producer told the outlet he'd ended it via text and that he was an "old fool" for falling for Pam again 30 years after they first dated and was hurt that things imploded with the "Baywatch" beauty after he paid off $200,000 in bills for her. He also told Page Six that Pam had proposed to him via text and that he "was engaged to someone else" at the time but "dropped everything" for the former Playboy model. Later in the month, Jon denied ever talking to the media while Pam told a Canadian outlet, "I don't need anyone to pay my bills," then admitted Jon wrote her a check for $100,000 after they split and told her, "No hard feelings." On Feb. 21, Us Weekly reported that Jon was engaged again — this time to Julia Bernheim, who might be the mystery fiancée he dumped for Pam in January.

Stage 4 cancer diagnosis

Shannen Doherty's cancer is back. On Feb. 4, the "Beverly Hills, 90210" star revealed on "Good Morning America" that she has stage 4 cancer. The actress — who went public with her first breast cancer battle after she was diagnosed in early 2015 then revealed in 2017 that she was in remission — said she's known about her new diagnosis for a year but initially wanted to keep it private. "I don't think that I've processed it," she said. "It's a bitter pill to swallow in a lot of ways." She only publicly revealed her health news because it was about to be made public in a lawsuit she's filed against State Farm over allegedly unpaid insurance claims involving damage to her house caused by 2018's Los Angeles wildfires. TMZ reported that the opening line of the lawsuit reads, "Plaintiff Shannen Doherty is dying of stage 4 terminal cancer." It added that she's unable to live out "her remaining years peacefully in her home." Later in the month, Shannen said she was stressed. "To say that I'm struggling is mild," she said. "But… I believe that I will find my footing. I'll dig deep for the inner strength I need to face it all. I pray I do it all with dignity and grace."

R.I.P.

Hollywood lost an icon this month. Kirk Douglas, who had a six-decade career during which he starred in "Spartacus," "Champion" and other memorable films, passed away on Feb. 5. He was 103. Kirk's son Michael Douglas announced the news. "It is with tremendous sadness that my brothers I announce that Kirk Douglas left us today at the age of 103. To the world, he was a legend, an actor from the golden age of movies who lived well into his golden years, a humanitarian whose commitment to justice and the causes he believed in set a standard of us all to aspire to," Michael wrote on Instagram. "But to me and my brothers Joel and Peter he was simply dad, to Catherine [Zeta-Jones], a wonderful father-in-law, to his grandchildren and great grandchildren, their loving grandfather, and to his wife Anne, a wonderful husband." Hollywood reacted to the news with many tributes. Catherine posted a touching photo of herself kissing her father-in-law on the cheek. "To my darling Kirk, I shall love you for the rest of my life. I miss you already. Sleep tight…," she wrote. On Feb. 23, Britain's The Mirror newspaper reported that Kirk left the bulk of his $61 million fortune to charity via his Douglas Foundation.

Sexuality reveal

Jameela Jamil came out as queer on Feb. 5 amid backlash concerning her involvement in a new voguing competition show called "Legendary." "Twitter is brutal. This is why I never officially came out as queer," she began her lengthy and emotional post. "I added a rainbow to my name when I felt ready a few years ago, as it's not easy within the south Asian community to be accepted, and I always answered honestly if ever straight-up asked about it on Twitter. But I kept it low because I was scared of the pain of being accused of performative bandwagon jumping, over something that caused me a lot of confusion, fear and turmoil when I was a kid." Many in the LBGTQ community had voiced their displeasure when HBO Max announced that the "The Good Place" actress would be a judge on the unscripted series, indicating the judges should be from their community. "I didn't come from a family with *anyone* openly out. It's also scary as an actor to openly admit your sexuality, especially when you're a brown female in your thirties," Jameela also said. "This is absolutely not how I wanted it to come out."

I love you as a friend. I can't marry you. Right at this very moment, I don't see you as that. I love you and [your late wife] Beth as my friends." Dog said he knew Moon didn't view him in a romantic sense and wanted to propose as a test. He said he wanted everyone — including his outspoken daughter — to know the truth about their non-romantic relationship. Moon, who lived with Dog as a companion for a while, has since moved out.

As for what they'll call themselves moving forward, that's still to be determined. Other details about what the British press has dubbed "Megxit" however, were publicly reported on Feb. 19.

Coat feud

Natalie Portman and Rose McGowan got into it in the middle of the month after the "Black Swan" star wore a cape to the Oscars that was embroidered with the names of snubbed female directors. On Feb. 11, Rose scolded Natalie, describing her as a "fraud." "The kind of protest that gets rave reviews from the mainstream media for its bravery. Brave? No, not by a long shot. More like an actress acting the part of someone who cares. As so many of them do," she wrote on Facebook. "I'm not writing this out of bitterness, I am writing out of disgust. I just want her and other actresses to walk the walk." A day after, Natalie responded, "I agree with Ms. McGowan that it is inaccurate to call me 'brave' for wearing a garment with women's names on it. Brave is a term I more strongly associate with actions like those of the women who have been testifying against Harvey Weinstein the last few weeks, under incredible pressure." Days later, Rose expressed regret for her initial comments though later deleted her tweet, which read, "My critique should've been about Hollywood's ongoing culture of silence. I realise that by critiquing someone personally, I lost sight of the bigger picture. All voices, however spoken, are valid. Let's all keep pushing boundaries in whatever way we can, it's time to get loud."
