The Writers Guild of America strike ended on Sept. 26, but three co-head writers from "The Drew Barrymore Show" are not returning to work. Chelsea White, Cristina Kinon and Liz Koe declined offers by the daytime talk show and are not coming back, sources close to the production told TODAY.com. It was not immediately clear why the writers aren't returning. The development comes after Barrymore faced a backlash from striking WGA members and others last month when she announced that she would resume the show while the strike was ongoing. She then made an apology and reversed her decision, saying she would wait until the strike was over. The show begins airing again on Oct. 16. Read more here. |

On the day Grace Taylor moved into her dorm for her sophomore year at Harvard, she learned she had metastatic thyroid cancer that had spread to her lymph nodes.

I wasn't sick," Taylor, 20, told TODAY.com. Doctors operated for 17 hours over two days to remove the tumor and avoid damaging a nearby nerve that controls the voice box. Taylor talked to us about her "grueling" recovery, how she balanced it with college life, and her triumphant return to the field. Read her story here. |

It's time for the salmon-gorged brown bears of Alaska's Katmai National Park to show their stuff in a bid for fat bear supremacy. Today marks the beginning of Fat Bear Week, an annual contest in which people cast votes online for the huskiest of them all from a group of brown bears that have been feasting on sockeye salmon ahead of winter hibernation. This year's Fat Bear Week comes down to 11 contestants. Will it be 32 Chunk who takes the crown? Or will the people love 128 Grazer (above) the most? Will Red Sox fans spurn 164 Bucky Dent, or will 480 Otis steal the show? See all the large-and-in-charge contestants here. |
