"My doctor has prescribed -- are you ready? -- as of today, three weeks of vacation," she said, to a roar and applause from her audience at "The Wendy Williams Show."
"What? Who are you? I was pissed," she said. "Encore performances (reruns), really?" 
Williams, 53, who grew up in Ocean Township and lives in Livingston, said a recent checkup with her doctor for hyperthyroidism, which she has dealt with for years, revealed new problems. 
"My thyroid has been totally cattywampus," she said. "That is the eye thing that you all have been seeing." 
"My thyroid -- my hyperthyroid -- is attached also to Graves' disease," Williams said, explaining that the autoimmune disease "squeezes the muscles behind your eyeballs," resulting in bulging eyes.
She said that in addition to eyelid retraction, symptoms of the condition, which is caused by an overactive thyroid, can include weight loss and anxiety. The talk show host had lost 50 pounds in recent years, but she says she had intended to lose the weight -- "50 for 50 (years old)."

The Portland Trail Blazers faced the Houston Rockets tonight without the services of center Jusuf Nurkic, recovering from an ankle injury. For three quarters, it didn’t look like they’d miss him. Damian Lillard hit threes like they were layups. Portland’s patchwork lineup hustled to fast break points and forced turnovers. If they couldn’t out-muscle or out-talent the Rockets, they’d simply outscore them. But even in the midst of amazing runs, the Blazers had no answer for James Harden and Chris Paul. When the game hung in the balance in the fourth quarter, the Rockets trailing by 14, those two superstars keyed a 40-19 period to put their team in the lead. As Houston bore down, Portland’s 60% shooting from the field slipped towards 50%...brilliant on any other night against any other team, but not enough to preserve the victory.
