There was very limited stage banter, but she did a quick run-down of what's been happening in her life: beating cancer, adopting son Wyatt, and "I got engaged. I got unengaged." She must be happy that someone else, namely Kate Hudson has taken over PDA duty with the increasingly creepy Lance Armstrong.
