WANDA SYKES HAD A DOUBLE MASTECTOMY

Wanda Sykes is normally full of laughter. But on The Ellen DeGeneres Show (airing Monday), the 47-year-old made a startling announcement: "I had breast cancer. Yeah, I know it's scary."

The comedienne went in for a breast reduction in February when she first got the news. "I had real big boobs and I just got tired of knocking over stuff. Every time I eat -- oh lord," she said. "I'd carry a Tide stick everywhere I go. My back was sore so it was time to have a reduction."
