Medford Celeb’s Mom Being Treated for Brain Tumor

The mother of E! News anchor and Medford native Maria Menounos is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor, according to published reports.

“And so our journey begins. Mom is battling a brain tumor. She’s a champion. Please pray for her full recovery. Just landed safe and sound in (Los Angeles) for treatments. Thank you to everyone sending love and support at this time. Oh did I mention it’s her birthday week?” Menounos, 38, wrote last week.

Menounos is a Medford High School graduate and former Miss Massachusetts. Her diverse resume includes acting in films and TV shows, a stint on “Dancing with the Stars,” professional wrestling, writing, and charity work. She is pictured above with her mother, Litsa, and father, Costas, at an event in Lynnfield last March to promote her new book. Menounos recently got engaged to fellow Medford native Keven Undergaro.
