Patrick Swayze on His Cancer Survival: ‘Two Years Seems Likely’
1:58AM Kyle Buchanan | With rumours flying about how much time Patrick Swayze had left after his pancreatic cancer diagnosis, the actor sat down with Barbara Walters to come clean. More »
5:15AM Kyle Buchanan | Surf On: Reports that a cancer-stricken Patrick Swayze had suffered a setback and said goodbye to his friends and family are false, said the actor. “It’s a battle, and so far, I’ve been winning. I’m one of the lucky few that responds well to treatment,” he told People magazine. Still, he had a word or two for the dark-sided media that’s been tracking his health: “It’s upsetting that the shoddy and reckless reporting from these publications cast a negative shadow on the positive and good fight I’m fighting.” [People] More »
Patrick Swayze Says Goodbye After Cancer Resurgence
2:21AM Kyle Buchanan | Back in March, we learned that Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and told he had mere weeks to live. Since that time, the actor has steadily held on, even shooting the upcoming A&E drama The Beast (set to premiere in January). Sadly, word is now out that Swayze’s cancer has spread to his liver: More »
Buh Bye Frappuccino! How Britney Got Back In Shape
10:00AM Defamer US Edition | Though we may go back and forth on whether we want our MTV, one thing we can all agree on is that we want a Dirt Sandwich. Like your favourite music channel in its heyday, it’s packed with pop stars (Britney! Sanjaya!), celebrity antics (Bill Murray skydiving) and even the occasional bit of sobering news (Christina Applegate’s mastectomy). And that whole “quick-cut MTV editing” thing? We got that, too. Sit back, put down your remote control, and let Molly McAleer take you on a psychedelic trip through the world of celebrity infotainment that would make even a Radiohead video seem banal. And if you don’t watch? Katherine Heigl is gonna point and laugh at you. WATCH VIDEO More »
The Curse Of Billy Bob Thornton Overtakes ‘Dark Knight’ Curse In Hollywood Death Toll
3:00AM STV | Bernie Mac’s tragic death sparked a surge of postmortems around the Web over the weekend, with many invoking his role as the bad-arse mall gumshoe opposite Billy Bob Thornton in Bad Santa. But one perceptive observer commenting at Hollywood Elsewhere noted that the late comedian’s passing is the latest in a string of similarly untimely demises for other Thornton co-stars as well: More »Celebrity Tattoo Horrors: Why Inking Bald Britney And Bob Barker’s Menacing Grin Is Never A Good Idea
4:30AM Molly Friedman | At some point in all our lives, we must ask ourselves: to tattoo or not to tattoo? We have yet to take the plunge, but when and if we do, we most certainly will not be inking our bodies with Pee Wee Herman, Bald Britney or (gasp!) Patrick Swayze as a centaur. But as a photo gallery over at EW proves, there are more than enough insane fans out there who are so in love with their favourite stars that they’ve etched a permanent image of their visage on their bodies. One might think a popular celebrity tat would be, say, Pamela Anderson or Scarlett Johansson, or maybe even Brangelina. But, sadly, it seems the sort of fan who goes through the pain of imprinting rainbow-coloured images of their idols are mainly of the Jack Jordan stalker variety. The bad, the ugly, and the downright nightmarish tattoos in question, after the jump. More »
Swayze ‘Has No Association’ With Cancer Site Bearing His Name — But Will He Fight It?
6:47AM Defamer US Edition | After passing along word of the new CureConnieAndPatrick.com Web site devoted to getting the word out about a possible “cure” for pancreatic cancer — and the site’s unauthorized use of the disease’s most famous afflictee — Defamer heard from Patrick Swayze’s publicist Annett Wolf. The news didn’t sound terribly good: “Patrick is not aware of this Web site, and he has no association with it or the medication it advertises,” she told us. “He is not affiliated with the woman from the site; Patrick had no knowledge of her.” So even if it’s a good cause, would Swayze align himself with what essentially amounts to a campaign against a pharmaceutical manufacturer?
