Jennifer Salke on Breast Cancer & the Impact it Has Had on Her Life

Jennifer Salke has been coming to the Taste for a Cure event for the past few years, but this was the first time she was honored for all of the wonderful things she does. Aside from being the president of NBC Entertainment, Jennifer spends a lot of time contributing to great causes. For this reason, she was awarded the Gil Nickel Humanitarian Award at the event. She chatted with StarCam?s Jennifer Tapiero about what an amazing honor it was to be recognized and what her personal connection to the efforts to find a cure for cancer is.

?I have such a connection to cancer in my life. My mother had stage 3 breast cancer at 43 and survived. My mother-in-law passed away from breast cancer at 53, but I have the breast cancer gene,? Jennifer explained. ??it gives me a huge elevated risk of breast and ovarian cancer, so I?ve had all these surgeries over the past two years to kind of mitigate that risk. I?m really just happy to have that behind me and kind of looking forward and sort of being a warrior against cancer.?

Jennifer aims to help people better understand that there are steps you can take before you develop cancer to prevent it from happening. It?s all about knowing and comprehending your risks and options. The genetic tests involved in finding out whether or not you have the breast-cancer gene are pretty pricey, but it is worth it if it saves your life. This gives people the ability to take the measures necessary to dodge being sitting ducks waiting for cancer to take them.

One seriously courageous individual that Jennifer mentioned was Giuliana Rancic. She found out just a few months ago that she had breast cancer. Rather than hiding her battle, she fought it in front of the public eye and encouraged women regardless of age to take the precautions and never think it couldn?t happen to them. Jennifer said Giuliana is graceful, brave, courageous and inspiring for the way she handled her situation!

Jay Ali on Being the Unsung Hero of "Darling Companion" as the Veterinarian

Jay Ali, who plays the veterinarian in Darling Companion, chatted with StarCam's Jennifer Tapiero at the film's premiere about being nervous next to co-star Diane Keaton, what it was like working with dogs, and how his character is actually the unsung hero of the movie.

"Sharing screen time with such amazing people is what dreams are made of," he said of the cast. "I turned up a couple years ago with just a suitcase and to now be doing a film with legends, it's very, very special."

He did admit that it was different working with dogs, saying, "I was very, very lucky because Casey was such a great dog? he wasn't difficult or anything. He did what he was told; he made my job very, very easy."

What was it like working with his other, more famous human co-stars?

"Nerves come along a little bit when you're standing opposite Diane Keaton? but because they're such great people they make you feel very relaxed, the rest of it comes pretty easy," he said.

He also joked around about his character and a special moment he shares with Elizabeth Moss.

"I'm actually the unsung hero of the film I like to say because I actually save the dog," he said. "They find it on the freeway but that dog had had it, unless I came and saved the day."

"Me and Elizabeth Moss share a moment over the operating table and the rest is history," he explained. "We get married and that's where all the magic begins."

[ Higher Education (University ) ] Open Question : UC SANTA CRUZ: Porter vs. Kresge?

uc santa cruz has given me the most aid, so by default i am going there next year! and because they just pulled out the aforementioned aid at the last minute on me, i've been left with two whole days to make my decision about which college of theirs i will attend. i'm stuck between kresge and porter. i would love to define myself as a writer if it didn't make me feel arrogant and artistically self-righteous, but i do love to write stories, poems, even long novels. it's my dream to be a writer. i speak four languages and i definitely do not want to lose them, and ideally i would still practice them in college (spanish, english, french, and mandarin). i LOVE theatre and musical theatre, and i can't imagine going too long without them. i'd love to meet new people, but i don't want to be TOO distracted from my studies. i hail from a rather sheltered ritzy private school, but i'm also on the lower-income side (full scholarship), so it'd be nice to be around more people with more modest incomes, and maybe crazier lifestyles. i'm what people like to call "quirky" and "eccentric," "scatterbrained" and maybe "sprightly." ethnic diversity would be a plus. i love trees and green. what do you think is the best fit for me?
