JASMINE FIORE – model mayhem is terrific, but it might be time to take Jasmines profile down. Especially since her last post said “please shoot me”. I wasn’t even looking for this and found it, despite only browsing around for 10 minutes. Well, under an hour at least. 1 hour. Maybe 2. Less than 5. A little over 5. God I’m So Lonely! (modelmayhem)

DERTY
– I don’t get much new music around here, but Derty is pretty GD cool. At least from the safety of the internet. In real life I would probably hide in the outhouse like those little girls in ‘Schindlers List’ if I saw him and his friends coming toward me. I’m sensible! (youtube)

KENDRA WILKINSON
– her husband Hank Baskett, who is a wide receiver for Philadelphia, was cut from the 53-man roster to make room for Mike Vick. So forget about shots of Kendra in a slutty Eagles jersey during the game and in tabloids. It would seem head coach Andy Reid has a lot to learn about modern football. (foxsports)

PATRICK SWAYZE
– these are reportedly the last pictures ever taken of him, in Beverly Hills on 8.25.09. He was understandably camera shy as the cancer took over. In a sense, I’m the same way. I don’t post many pictures of myself because I don’t want to be known as just a pretty face.  (hq jump here.  source = flynet)

In January of 2008, Patrick Swayze was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer. Stage IV is the final of the five stages (0,1,2,3,4), meaning the cancer had already spread to other organs. Given just weeks to survive, he continued to travel with his wife of 34 years, to work on his A&E series ‘the Beast’ and to defy the odds. Until today.

Patrick Swayze, the actor and classically trained dancer whose role in the enduringly popular “Dirty Dancing” made him a movie star, one who struggled with the alienation of fame and against being typecast as a leading man, died Monday. He was 57.
Swayze, who also starred in the blockbuster film ” Ghost,” died with his family at his side, his publicist, Annett Wolf, told the Associated Press.

When I die my greatest hope is that it will be after a life well lived, with someone I love, and my final days marked with dignity. Instead of going to hookers and crying because I can’t get an erection, which is what I do now.

TITTIES - I don’t know which college humor editor got dumped by Amanda, but matching her against Brittany in this bikini contest really can’t be considered anything other than sarcastic.  She would have a better chance playing tennis against Roger Federer, even if someone tied her shoes together and her racket was upside down.  (source = college humor)

NATASHA RICHARDSON - Natasha Richardson suffered a severe brain injury yesterday while skiing in Quebec.  Her husband Liam Neeson was filming in Toronto but rushed to her side.  Natasha was on a beginner level slope when she tumbled and fell.  She didn’t hit anything and there were no signs of injury, but an hour later her head started to ache and she was soon taken to the hospital.  That was some vivid storytelling wasn’t it?  You probably felt like you were actually there, witnessing the events in real time, but try to catch your breath and let's keep going.  (source = tmz)

MADONNA - Catharina Franca is an 18-year-old model from Brazil, and she dated Jesus Luz for 18 months.  Madonna is a 50-year-old female impersonator from Detroit, and she dates Jesus Luz now.  “When I heard about him and Madonna I couldn’t believe it.  She is a ridiculous old bag, jumping around on stage at her age,” Catharina said.  And she’s right.  Madonna's vag must feel like it's made out of wood.

PATRICK SWAYZE - I’m not technically a doctor, but I think it's safe to say Patrick Swayze isn’t doing so great with his pancreatic cancer.  But he's not giving up, even though many predicted he would have died by now.  So suck on that naysayers.  (source = fame pictures)


02.19.2009 patrick swayze isnt doing so good

What a fun and lighthearted morning this is so far.  Because now there are pictures of Patrick Swayze, shockingly thin and gaunt after a losing fight against pancreatic cancer, as he boards a private jet from LA to New Mexico.  It's believed Swayze is headed to his 17,000-acre ranch to spend his last days on his own terms.  Fame says…

Despite looking very thin and with visible patches of hairless scalp, Swayze seemed to be in great spirits as he joked with airport staff, smoked cigarettes, packed the plane with several personal possessions, and laughed with an unidentified woman, before hugging her goodbye.

Swayze had been receiving regular chemotherapy treatments at Cedars-Sanai in LA, but he put an end to that last week.  A friend told Us magazine there was nothing more doctors could do, the cancer was not responding, and the priority now was for Swayze to be as comfortable as possible as he waits for the end.

In the meantime, you and I can wait for the next happy story in today’s parade of laughs.  With any luck a chandelier will fall on a box of kitties, because that would be the most upbeat thing that’s happened yet.


03.06.2008 “WE ARE CONSIDERABLY MORE OPTIMISTIC”

So, relatively good news regarding Patrick Swayze and his fight with pancreatic cancer.  While it has been confirmed that he is sick and receiving treatment at Stanford University Hospital as the National Enquirer said (more here), his prognosis may not be as dire as once thought.  According to People magazine, his doctor said yesterday:

"Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the time frame of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic."

And his rep said:

"Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family."

I liked Patrick Swayze movies because his character was always THE BEST.   He wasn’t just a bar bouncer, he was THE BEST.  How his character ended up NUMBER 1 needed no explanation, so therefore the filmmakers didn’t even pretend to explain it.  Taking the time to spell out the ranking procedure would just insult us both, so they wisely just moved ahead.  And this is only somewhat related, but I was in the airport the other day, and fuck you to whoever is in charge of those Katie Couric colon cancer testing ads. They look like this one, except 10 feet long.  Is this the test?   Is this what the colon sees?  Are you inferring that I'm the colon?  Hey fuck you buddy.  Maybe I'm just old fashioned, but I don't think it's very nice to go around calling people cancerous colons.
