Farrah Fawcett is not alone in her fight against cancer. Her former Charlie’s Angles cast members have reunited to form a support group for the actress.

Fawcett, 60, has been traveling between her home here in the states and Germany, where she is receiving alternative treatments for her anal cancer.

In between trips, Kate Jackson and Jaclyn Smith, both cancer survivors themselves, visit the actress in hopes of boosting her spirits and to offer their support.

Jackson beat breast cancer twice in 1987 and then in 1989. Smith also fought the disease in 2002.

A source told the National Enquirer, “Jaclyn and Kate have been there for Farrah throughout her cancer ordeal. They’re constantly dropping by to check up on her, bringing meals and special treats. And they all talk by phone daily.”

It’s good to know Farrah has the support of her longtime friends and peers. Cancer is a bitch and hopefully she will survive her second battle as she did her first.

Jimmy Kimmel knows true Christmas spirit - he has secretly been paying people on his staff since the start of the WGA strike.

Kimmel has been especially taking care of those who have the lesser paying, more menial jobs. The ones who would no doubt be effed if they lost a job during the holiday season. Senior staffers are also being “taken care of” by ABC.

Kimmel and his staff will not comment on the matter.

Good for Kimmel. Back when I was in my early 20’s and very, very poor, I worked for a dentist who would take off two weeks. I made the least amount of money in the office (I had just gotten into the profession) and was definitely hurt big time by his annual vacation. It’s not like he was going to pay me for that time so I just suffered by working a few days for temp agencies (which is a load of fun -NOT) and donating plasma and shit. Yeah, really! Sad times.

Anyhow, this is why I love Kimmel. I’m not the biggest fan of his late night show, but he is cool. Good for you Jimmy, everyone should be so lucky to have an employer that actually cares.

Victoria Beckham will bare it all for a Marc Jacobs campaign that will raise money for skin cancer charities.

Posh was originally set to model for Jacobs’ spring/summer 2008 fashion line, but was asked to take part in the charity campaign instead.

A source told the Daily Mirror,

“Victoria loves Marc’s work but wasn’t entirely comfortable with getting naked. Marc went all out to persuade her. And when she heard about what a great cause it was she knew she just couldn’t turn him down. The picture she and Marc have chosen is amazing - sexy but tasteful.”

Other stars who have posed in their birthday suits for Jacobs and his charity t-shirt collection are Julianne Moore, Dita Von Teese and Naomi Campbell.

The Gossip’s Beth Ditto did a Public Service Announcement against online bullying.

She said she was once the target of bullies and she can relate to what kids go through these days. She said,

“As a big girl, I was bullied quite a bit, made fun of quite a lot. It would have been really easy for me to turn out to be a huge bully, and be really mean to people. But its actually turned out far more empowering, far more helpful to be a little stronger about it and not treat people the way they treated me. It’s probably the best rule in life to treat people how you’d want to be treated.”

Rumer Willis was recently presented with something that all Hollywood stars wish they could have.

Their very own Polly Pocket doll.

Last weekend at the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation’s annual Dream Halloween benefit, Rumer was given a Polly Pocket doll that was made in her image. The doll was auctioned off for charity and went for $5,500.

Rumer said during the event, “I feel like I’m really famous now.”

Regarding fame and celebrity, she told People magazine,

“Before I started working, I would have said, ‘You know, it’s not really fair, because I didn’t choose this.’ But when you decide to be a part of this profession and put yourself out there, then you kind of have to accept what it is.

It’s a 24-hour job. It doesn’t matter if you are going out to a restaurant – you have to be aware of what you are doing and how you look and how you are presenting yourself, because most of the time people never get to know you.

Being famous isn’t going to parties … it’s about being able to use the power that we all have to kind of give back.”
