Kelly Osbourne Has a Black Eye

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

Kelly Osbourne was snapped by the paparazzi today as she left her home in London, not bothering to cover up a black eye.

Kelly has a mouth on her sometimes, maybe she pissed somebody off.  Someone like her BFF Amy Winehouse?  Now wouldn’t that be funny.  We know how bitchy Amy can get after not sleeping for three days..

Who or what do you think caused the damage?  However it happened, it doesn’t look like it felt very pleasant!

Christina Applegate Opts for Double Mastectomy

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Christina Applegate, 36, was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this month, and after surgery, she is completely cancer free.

“I’m clear. Absolutely 100-percent clear and clean,” she said in her Good Morning America appearance on Tuesday.

Applegate, whose own mother has battled the disease twice, has the gene (BRCA1) which is known to cause breast cancer. So instead of going through chemo, radiation and worrying about a possible recurrence - she opted for a double mastectomy. The surgery was three weeks ago and was a success.

Applegate said, “Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I scream, and I get really angry and I get really into wallowing in self-pity sometimes, and I think it’s all part of healing.”

“My decision, after looking at all the treatment plans that were possibilities for me, the only one that seemed the most logical and the one that was going to work for me was to have a bilateral mastectomy. So basically I had a prophylactic double mastectomies.”

“I didn’t want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything. I just wanted to kind of be rid of this whole thing for me. This was the choice that I made, and it was a tough one.”

Applegate says that when she found out about her cancer she was immediately angry. But soon after the anger turned to dedication - dedication to beat the awful disease.

Christina will undergo reconstructive surgery, which will take place over the next eight months. She seems to have a good attitude about it and joked, “I’m gonna have cute boobs till I’m 90.”

An inspiration to all of us. I can’t say I would be so optimistic..

Paul Newman Might Be Close to Dying

Friday, August 8th, 2008

Paul Newman

Paul Newman, 83, has finished his chemotherapy treatment and has returned home where his loving wife, Joanne Woodward, and daughters will care for him.

Paul is reportedly happy to be out of the hospital and at home, which is where he wants to be when he dies.

A friend of the family says that Paul has been spending time getting things prepared for his passing. Paperwork and legal stuff - but he has also made sure to leave some things to his close friends, and his family is having a hard time with that apparently.

“He gave a prized car – a Ferrari with his racing number 82 on it – to a long-time pal. The sudden move angered his children. It’s especially hard for them to come to grips with what’s going on.”

The source adds that Newman has been told he only has weeks to live. Which might be true, being as he has terminal lung cancer. I’ve lost a family member to terminal cancer and it was not long after treatment that things got ugly. Honestly, I have pretty mixed feeling on chemo/radiation…but we won’t go there..

Newman has also been preparing one of his daughters to take over his salad dressing company.

Newman married his wife 50 years ago in 1958.

He has refused to comment on his condition.

Star magazine is reporting that Shia LaBeouf might lose one of his fingers on the hand that was seriously injured in his recent DUI accident.

A source on the set of his current film, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, says the actor will probably end up losing the pinkie finger on his left hand.

Producers working on the film learned about the possible amputation yesterday. “Shia called producers yesterday and told them. It’s really thrown the movie into turmoil.”

UPDATE:

A paps agency I don’t like is reporting that Shia’s rep says the story is “an absolute fabrication.”

Christina Applegate Diagnosed With Breast Cancer

Monday, August 4th, 2008

Christina Applegate’s publicist has confirmed that the actress has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

The rep released the following statement, “Benefiting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery.”

Applegate’s mother has successfully battled breast cancer in the past. In 2003 Applegate said of her mother’s experience,

“The first time she was diagnosed I was a very young girl – probably 7. I’m not sure it really fully hit me at the time, but she had to undergo surgery and have a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery. It was devastating for my mother to lose one of her breasts and have to go through all that. It is a very personal cancer for the women it affects. This is about women’s womanhood. It’s one of the aspects of our femininity.”
