PATRICK SWAYZE IS STILL ALIVE AND KICKING

Filed Under: Cancer > Oops! > Patrick Swayze > Rumors

It's apparent that Patrick Swayze takes all those inaccurate and exaggerated media reports about his declining health to heart, and that’s painful to imagine. Early last year when The Enquirer reported he had “weeks to live,” Patrick went out of his way to prove them wrong. Yesterday a Florida radio station (both stations under suspicion, deny it) started the rumor that Patrick had died and it was picked up on Twitter. Even Wikipedia reportedly amended Patrick’s page temporarily. Swayze was so incensed he released this recent photo with his wife, indicating he is not bedridden, as assumed. It’s a dilemma – ill celebrities DO deserve some privacy, but they ARE famous, and fans and gossip readers continue to devour photos and information about them.

SOMEBODY has been playing far too much tennis without the benefit of sunscreen. Dick Van Patten, the patriarch of the 80’s series “Eight is Enough” showed up at the premier of “Farrah’s Story” with a big bandage on his head. He admitted he’d had cancerous tissue removed. For a fair skinned blue eyed person, he’s given himself a LOT of skin damage over the years. Farrah’s best friend Alana Stewart, who produced the documentary, was also at the premier and Ryan O’Neal was there also, lapping up attention, as usual.

FARRAH FAWCETT DOCUMENTARY AIRS ON NBC MAY 15

Filed Under: Cancer > Documentary > Farrah Fawcett

It’s not looking good for Farrah. Her family and friends are visiting her at her Wilshire Blvd condo, but she isn’t leaving home. Ryan O’Neal admits she’s lost her famous hair and no longer cares. She’s essentially bedridden and doesn’t speak much. Her video diary of her cancer battle in the US and Germany now has an airdate on NBC: May 15. The two hour special was shot mostly with her own video camera, operated by her friend Alana Stewart. Ryan, Jaclyn Smith, and Kate Jackson appear in the video, which is narrated by Farrah. We’d hoped for a happy ending. Somehow the airdate makes everything seem so final…and a little ominous.

TWO TRAGEDIES: FARRAH AND REDMOND

Redmond O’Neal was photographed Saturday leaving St John’s hospital where he visited his mother Farrah Fawcett. Farrah recently returned from Germany looking frail after cancer treatments. Sadly, she is reportedly unconscious and the family has been gathering. Despite this tragic turn of events, Redmond managed to get arrested for drug possession yet again on Sunday morning and remains in jail. It looks like Farrah’s documentary “A Wing and a Prayer” will not have a happy ending.

FARRAH FAWCETT IS STILL FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE

We’re worried about Farrah Fawcett - she just returned from Germany, where she was supposedly being treated for a tumor on her liver. Farrah’s been battling anal cancer since 2006 and has documented the process with the help of her loyal friend Alana Stewart. It’s said she made half a million dollars by allowing Entertainment Tonight cameras to follow her around and another two million dollar deal for Alana’s documentary for NBC. She can obviously afford the world’s best treatment and has been back and forth to Germany several times for chemotherapy. It’s odd that her ex Ryan O’Neal and her son Redmond aren’t around, but Alana is always with her. She looks frail in this recent photo – let’s hope for the best.
