To be missed by the many whom he inspired, Hollywood legend Paul Newman has lost his battle with lung cancer at the age of 83.
According to Paul’s spokesman, Marni Tomljanovic, the Oscar winning actor passed away on Friday (September 26) at his home in Westport, Connecticut.
Sad news: Paul Newman has lost his long battle with cancer at the age of 83. Newman was a screen icon with dozens of classic films to his credit, as well as an avid humanitarian. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, their six children and eight grandchildren.
Paul Newman has died at age 83.
He passed away after a long battle with cancer Friday at his farmhouse near Westport, Connecticut. No other details were available.
In a statement, Robert Forrester, vice-chairman of Newman’s Own Foundation, said: “Paul Newman’s craft was acting. His passion was racing. His love was his family and friends. And his heart and soul were dedicated to helping make the world a better place for all.
“Paul had an abiding belief in the role that luck plays in one’s life, and its randomness. He was quick to acknowledge the good fortune he had in his own life, beginning with being born in America, and was acutely aware of how unlucky so many others were. True to his character, he quietly devoted himself to helping offset this imbalance.”
Born in Ohio in 1925, the actor rose to fame in such roles as The Hustler, Cool Hand Luke and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, in which he starred opposite Robert Redford.
He was nominated for 10 Oscars, winning for 1987’s The Color of Money and taking home two honorary ones.
Newman was also known for his philanthropy. He created the Newman’s Own brand of organic foods and donated the company’s profits to charity.
“What started as something of a joke in the basement of his home, turned into a highly-respected, multi-million dollar a year food company,” Forrester said in a statement. “And true to form, he shared this good fortune by donating all the profits and royalties he earned to thousands of charities around the world, a total which now exceeds $250 million.”
He also founded the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for children with serious illnesses. Said Forrester: “Today, there are 11 Camps around the world, with additional programs in Africa and Vietnam. Through the Camps, well over 135,000 children have had the chance to experience what childhood was meant to be.”
Newman is survived by his wife, actress Joanne Woodward, 78. The couple celebrated their golden anniversary in January. He is the father of six children and eight grandchildren.
Newman never confirmed reports that he was battling cancer. In June, as rumors swirled about his illness, his pal (and neighbor) Martha Stewart wrote, “He is still full of vim and vigor, he is still Cool Hand Luke to me, and of course, my Butch Cassidy!”
Newman announced he was retiring last year.
“I’m not able to work anymore as an actor at the level I would want to,” he said on Good Morning America. “You start to lose your memory, your confidence, your invention. So that’s pretty much a closed book for me… I’ve been doing it for 50 years. That’s enough.”
Newman had said he’d like to be remembered as “a guy who tried, tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being. Someone who isn’t complacent, who doesn’t cop out.”
Newman was nothing short of a class act from the very beginning of his career. His All-American good looks and bright blue eyes garnered lots of attention, but he quickly proved that he was more than just a pretty face. His acting career spanned more than 50 years, boasting such films as “The Verdict” (one of his bast, in my opinion), “Hud” and “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.” Despite the accolades and A-list status, Newman kept his personal life private. Even as he battled cancer, he worked to keep the severity of his condition from the media. His 50-year marriage to actress Joanne Woodward is a definite inspiration and an anomaly in a town where famous couples are lucky to last a couple of years.
Condolences to his family and friends.

While there was a bit of a scare for awhile, Christina Applegate has reported that she’s completely free of the breast cancer doctors detected in her earlier this summer.
The “Samantha Who?” babe told Good Morning America, “[I’m] absolutely 100 percent clear and clean. They got everything out so I’m definitely not going to die from breast cancer.”
Jade Goody is the British Big Brother 2002 contestant who was voted out of the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2007 after she made racist statements about the Indian actress who eventually won, Shilpa Shetty. Goody is known for her stupidity and has made a lot of ignorant comments, including thinking Saddam Hussein was a boxer, and that Sherlock Holmes invented the toilet. She’s still making money and getting work even after her racist bullying controversy. She has two perfumes out and she received $200,000 for appearing on the Indian version of Big Brother, Bigg Boss.
While filming India’s Bigg Boss, Goody received sad news. She’s gone through a series of health scares recently and has been taken to hospital after collapsing several times. Goody, 27, received a phone call on the reality show from her doctor informing her that she’s suffering from cancer. It’s most likely cervical cancer, although the Daily Mail says it’s not entirely clear and could be womb cancer:
The 27-year-old was a contestant on Bigg Boss 2 when she was called to the Diary Room to speak to her UK doctor who told her the results of a recent biopsy.
It is not clear whether she has womb or cervical cancer but the latter is far more common in women of her age.
The mother-of-two broke down in tears and sobbed to housemates she had suffered some ‘bad news’ and that she had to leave the house.
She was immediately withdrawn from the programme and was last night being flown home to begin treatment.
Her spokesman Mark Thomas said: ‘It is pretty obvious that she was looking forward to her time in the house but her health is the first priority and she is flying back for treatment and more tests.’
While cervical cancer has an 83 per cent survival rate, it kills more than 800 women each year and is the second most common form of the disease for women under 35 after breast cancer.
Jade had entered the Bigg Boss house after undergoing tests at Princess Alexandra Hospital in Essex after her third cancer scare and following four mystery collapses earlier this month.
But just three days after entering the house, she was told the devastating news yesterday by a specialist from the UK who was patched through to the Diary Room to speak to her.
A source said: ‘She was called into the Diary Room and spoke to her agent and then her consultant in the UK.
‘She just burst into tears, ran out and said to housemates “I have cancer”.’
Show bosses said the scenes will not be aired when the show is transmitted later tonight.
[From The Daily Mail]
It’s thoughtful of producers not to air the footage and you would expect them to put it on the show to explain what happened. It’s also quite dramatic and could make for high viewership if they included those segments.
No one should have to go through that and I hope she’s ok. Goody has two children from an ex-boyfriend, Bobby Jack, 5, and Freddie, nearly 4. She was pregnant in the spring of last year with a child from a different boyfriend, then 19 year-old Jack Tweed, but she had a miscarriage in June and eventually broke up with Tweed, saying she “felt more like his mother than his girlfriend.” Hopefully she will fully recover from this.
There have been a lot of stories of female celebrities suffering cancer, particularly breast cancer, and it helps emphasize how important it is to see your doctor and have regular checkups and screening tests.

Christina Applegate is set to share some fabulous news this morning. According to E!, Applegate filmed an interview with Robin Roberts on Monday morning in which she says that she is now completely free of cancer – a true testament to the importance of early detection.
Christina Applegate has great news. “They got everything out, so I’m definitely not going to die from breast cancer,” the Samantha Who? star says in an interview scheduled to air Tuesday on Good Morning America. The 36-year-old actress, whose mom also battled—and survived—the disease, revealed earlier this month that she had been diagnosed with early stage breast cancer and was undergoing treatment.
Applegate, said that she has been getting regular mammograms since she turned 30. A second MRI, part of the follow-up from a biopsy she had last year, revealed the cancer. “I was so mad and I—I just remember I was—I was just shaking,” she told GMA cohost Robin Roberts, herself a breast-cancer survivor, on Monday. “And then also immediately, I had to go into…’take-care-of-business mode,’ which was…I asked them, ‘What do I do now? What—what is it that I do? I get a doctor, I get a surgeon, I get an oncologist? What do I do?’”
Apparently she did what was right for her, which included penciling in all the help she needed and switching to a macrobiotic diet. “I’m clear,” Applegate said. “Absolutely 100 percent clear and clean. It did not spread. They got everything out, so I’m definitely not going to die from breast cancer.”
[From E! News]
E! doesn’t say if Applegate discusses what course of treatment she chose. I’m also curious when she found out she had cancer, and if she waited a bit to get a clearer prognosis before releasing a statement. No matter what this sounds like great news, and really serves as a reminder about the importance of diligent checkups from an early age.

Christina Applegate has received an outpouring of support since last week when she announced that she has breast cancer. It sounds like her prognosis is good and it was caught early. Fellow survivor Suzanne Somers wrote Applegate an encouraging open letter that was published in People. Somers made headlines back in 2001 when she decided to treat her cancer without chemotherapy, instead using radiation, surgery, a treatment made with a fermented mistletoe extract.
Dear Christina,
Cancer is scary, and lonely. You can’t ask anyone to make decisions for you because it’s just too heavy. There is a lot of ‘rush to treatment,’ when what you really need is time to research and think about how you want to approach this. Take your time Christina, there is no rush. Take your time and think it through. Use your cancer to learn and grow and as a force to work for you. You might choose to take an alternative approach. There are more options than the ones presented to you in the oncologist’s office. You will make it. The success and drive you have had in your career will be the same strengths you will use to win over this nasty disease. And I am here if you want to talk to someone who was ‘there.’
Sincerely,
Suzanne Somers

I always find it a little odd when someone chooses an open letter instead of writing – or speaking – to a person directly. But I would guess Christina isn’t really easy to get in touch with right now. And by writing her letter to People, Somers made others aware of some of the emotional issues of breast cancer. I like that she didn’t seem to force her views at all; she just simply pointed out that there are other treatments besides the traditional ones, and each person has to figure out what’s best for her. Somers appears to be in pretty good health, and certainly took a less-than-conventional route.

Earlier this month, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and earlier today Christina Applegate was spotted arriving at a medical clinic to undergo treatment.
The “Samantha Who?” actress looked pensive as she walked into Cedars-Sinai Hospital for Women’s Cancers in Los Angeles, California. And though cancer is never a desirable diagnosis, in this case it sounds like it was caught early enough to be treated.
Former “Married With Children” actress Christina Applegate is undergoing treatment for breast cancer, a spokesperson for the star announced to press.
Fortunately, the 36-year-old is expected to make a full recovery after being diagnosed with cancer during a regular MRI scan, representative Ame Van Iden confirmed in a statement released on Saturday night (August 2).
Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with an early stage of breast cancer, according to a statement put out by her representative. It sounds like it was caught early and that she should be fine after treatment. The 36 year-old actress has a family history of breast cancer. Her mother is a breast cancer survivor and underwent treatment and a mastectomy when Christina was a young girl. Christina is active with the Susan G Komen breast cancer foundation - my mother met her during a walk for the charity a few years ago - and it is likely that she goes for regular mammograms and checkups:
Christina Applegate has been diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer her rep confirmed Saturday.
“Benefitting from early detection through a doctor ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening,” the Emmy nominated Samantha Who? star’s rep said in a statement. “Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery.”
Applegate’s mother is a breast cancer survivor.
“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,” Applegate, 36, told USA Today in 2003.
“It was devastating for my mother to lose one of her breasts and have to go through all that,” Applegate said. “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.”
Breast cancer is currently the most common cancer in women and the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the 15-54 age group.

Actress Cynthia Nixon recently disclosed that she had breast cancer in 2006 and that it was detected early and she is now cancer free. Nixon’s mother is a two time breast cancer survivor and helped her realize the importance of early detection.
While looking for photos for this story I found some exclusives at Bauer Griffin which were taken May 13 and show Christina at an “outpatient cancer clinic” at Cedars Sinai, where they say she stayed for two hours. It’s possible that she chose to wait to announce her cancer, like Cynthia Nixon, until after treatment was successful.
In early July, Applegate lost her ex boyfriend of over two years. 26-year-old Lee Grivas was found dead in his apartment of an apparent heroin overdose on July 1. Applegate issued a statement at the time saying that she was “profoundly saddened” by his death. She is now thought to be dating a bass player who hails from Holland.
Applegate has gone through a lot this year, and our thoughts are with her for a quick recovery.

The entertainment world was dealt a serious blow back in March when Patrick Swayze announced that he was suffering from pancreatic cancer. But it seems like the tables have turned for the “Dirty Dancing” actor.
Per a recent press update, Patrick says that he’s been living a full life, unencumbered by his illness. And the best part is, he’s responding extremely well to the treatment he’s been receiving.
Speaking on a matter close to the heart, Sheryl Crow testified in front of a congressional hearing at the Rayburn Building in Washington DC on Wednesday (May 21).
The 46-year-old breast cancer surviving rocker was there to discuss the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act, which she’s been more than willing to help out with.
It gives you a chill to hear about all the celebrity women who have faced breast cancer, many of whom take years to discuss their private battle with the illness. About two weeks ago Sex and The City star Cynthia Nixon went public with the fact that she underwent a lumpectomy and radiation in 2006 at the age of 40 after doctors found a small cancerous lump on a routine mammogram. Nixon is the new spokesperson for the Susan J Komen breast cancer foundation and emphasizes the importance of regular checkups with a gynecologist.
Now Sopranos star Edie Falco is talking more about the fact that she too underwent treatment for breast cancer while she was working on the popular series. She says she didn’t tell anyone at work because she didn’t want them to be worried about her. It sounds like she was undergoing chemo and that it was very difficult for her:
WHEN Edie Falco was battling breast cancer in 2003, she never told any of her “The Sopranos” co-stars. She tells the new issue of Health magazine: “I kept my diagnosis under the radar, even from the cast and crew, because well-meaning people would have driven me crazy asking, ‘How are you feeling?’ I would have wanted to say, ‘I’m scared, I don’t feel so good, and my hair is falling out!’ I bucked up, put on my Carmela fingernails, and was ready to work.” Meanwhile, Falco recently adopted her second child, a baby girl, reports In Touch.
[From Page Six]
Falco did come out with the news earlier. In August, 2004 she revealed that she was given the “all clear” by doctors after completing treatment some five months prior.
Other celebrity breast cancer survivors include Sheryl Crowe, Melissa Etheridge, Kylie Minogue, Gloria Steinem, Kate Jackson, Olivia Newton John, Jaclyn Smith, Suzanne Somers, Rue McClanahan, and Lynn Redgrave. About 1 in every 8 women worldwide will develop breast cancer in her lifetime. Survival rates for all ages are from 81 - 86%.

Beloved Scottish actor Ewan McGregor had a cancerous mole removed from below his right eye. The Huffington Post has a comparison of his face before and after two moles were removed. The one under his eye was cancerous.
In an interview with the BBC, he said “I had a little skin cancer under here, under my eye.”
“I just went to have them checked. You have to be careful if you’re pale skinned and you’ve spent time in the sun with moles, so I went to a specialist who thought they were better to be removed and indeed he was correct.”
He said “Everything’s fine. It’s all good [now]” He said he didn’t have moments of panic and that it was just something he had to keep in check.
As for whether he’ll get back on his motorcycle for another big trip, McGregor said he rides his bike every day, but that he’s focusing on his films for now. McGregor took a three month trip around Europe on his bicycle with his friend Charley Boorman and a cameraman in 2004. Their journey was made into a TV series and a book, and they visited some of UNICEF’s local work on the way. They took another three month trip last year from Scotland to South Africa.
McGregor, 37, has been married to French production designer Eva Marvrakis, since 1995 and they have three daughters, Clara, 12, Esther, 6, and Jamiyan, 6. Jamiyan was adopted from Mongolia, and Ewan met her when he was on his motorcycle trip.
McGregor makes it a policy not to talk about his family in interviews, and prefers to keep that part of his life private.
I don’t think I’m alone in swooning over this guy. He didn’t volunteer the information about his cancerous mole - the interviewer specifically asked about it because she noticed that his moles were gone since he made the film Deception, which he’s promoting. It’s an erotic thriller also starring Michelle Williams and Hugh Jackman and is out on Friday in the US, UK, Australia and Russia.
Here’s the trailer, it looks good!

Cynthia Nixon and girlfriend Christine Marinoni on 4/9/08, thanks to WENN
Sex and The City actress Cynthia Nixon, 42, is the new ambassador for the Susan G Komen For The Cure organization. Nixon’s mother is a two time breast cancer survivor, and Nixon herself was diagnosed with the disease in 2006. She said she’s been getting regular mamograms since she was 35, and that a small cancerous lump was found on her mammogram when she was 40. She had a lumpectomy and 6 weeks of radiation, and it sounds like she is now cancer free.
In a series of videos on the Susan G Komen organization’s website, Nixon talks about the importance of regular mammograms and early detection. She says that breast cancer is a disease that has touched so many lives and that she wants to help bring awareness to the cause. Nixon also talks about how gay women need to be aware of the importance of early breast cancer detection because they’re not as focused on birth control and reproductive issues and are less likely to make frequent visits to the gynecologist.
Nixon has a new interview with Cynthia McFadden, a portion of which was broadcast on Good Morning America this morning. She talked about discovering breast cancer early and was very matter-of-fact about getting it found, treated and under control. Nixon said she didn’t disclose her breast cancer when it was first diagnosed because she didn’t want the paparazzi to be outside the hospital while she was undergoing treatment.
McFadden asked her if she really was that calm about having cancer, and she said she was and that’s just the way she is, but that her girlfriend was very panicked about it and ate to cope. Nixon said that her two kids call her girlfriend of four years, education activist Christine Marinoni, “mom” but that they call her “mommy” too. Sometimes they just say “mom” to get both of them to pay attention.
As to how Nixon told her kids about her cancer diagnosis, she said she explained it to them clearly, calmly and simply.
Nixon also says that her show “Sex and The City” handled the character Samantha’s breast cancer very well.
Here’s the clip, thanks to monkeyboy on Redlasso.
Kylie Minogue has been out talking about her breast cancer, and two things about it have really struck true with me. First, is that she has not been given the all clear from doctors yet, that she still has to have regular checks.
“It’s not over,” quotes the Sunday Mirror, “I still go for regular check-ups. The ‘voyage’ doesn’t end suddenly. That’s why it’s so difficult to talk about it.”
However, despite admitting some of her management team feared her decision to announce her condition in May 2005 could harm her career, Kylie says she’s sure she made the right decision in going public.
“It’s wonderful to know that in talking about it, I’m perhaps helping women, families and also some men with breast cancer,” she explains.
Secondly, that she was misdiagnosed initially and told everything was fine, and she only discovered the tumor on a second investigation.
“Listen, this is an opportunity for me to say something that I have not said before,” a nervous Minogue said.
“I was misdiagnosed initially.
“So my message to all of you and everyone at home is, because someone is in a white coat and using big medical instruments doesn’t necessarily mean they are right.”
Minogue did not give the date of the misdiagnosis, how long she went before the second check or if the misdiagnosis occurred in Australia or Britain.
But, she said the misdiagnosis happened before she embarked on her Showgirl concert tour.
This is so important, to not feel intimidated when you go to see your doctor. If you feel something is wrong with your body, then something probably is. There is no need to feel embarrassed by getting a second opinion, or coming back for further tests. If your doctor makes you feel stupid, tell him he’s not doing his job properly by making you feel that way and get a new doctor.
Kylie also took the time to point out that getting married and having babies would be marvelous, but that she doesn’t “absolutely have to have children to make my life complete”.
Kylie is currently promoting her new album, titled X. She turns 40 in May.

Earlier this week it was announced that Patrick Swayze is suffering from pancreatic cancer. But with his positive attitude and the best doctors money can buy, he’s clinging to the hope that he can beat the disease.
The “Ghost” stud is still maintaining his normal schedule, with a few projects scheduled to be released in the near future. One of which is the new A&E network drama titled “The Beast.”
When it comes to furthering a charitable cause, having a few hot celebrity ladies around never hurts. And Sienna Miller and Kate Moss did their part to help out their local Cancer Research shop earlier today.
The Marylebone High Street Cancer Shop in London was the place to be today, as “Make Today Count” got underway. And according to a press release, there was plenty to look forward for.
Today's Page Six leads with what looks like your average "I'm a friend of Richard Johnson's" book plug item, the heartwarming story of one Robert Schimmel, a comic, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2000. Schimmel wrote a book called "Cancer on $5 a Day" and it seems mostly concerned with how to get laid whilst coping with cancer. Whatever, kind of heartwarming right? Not really! The item veers between life-affirming and creepy, like a drunk driver caroming down the moral highway in a blizzard. (The blizzard is cancer, the driver is Schimmel, and on one side of the road is the sweet release of death and on the other is the married Schimmel's banging of his daughter's best friend.)
In today's Post:
Happily, his cancer finally went into remission after a long and difficult period of treatment and things got back to normal - although there was a bizarre footnote to his ordeal. During one of his hospital stays, his daughter, Jessica, brought her boss and best friend, Melissa, to visit Schimmel and the two fell in love. The comic divorced his wife and married Melissa, who is only two years older than his daughter. Schimmel writes: "Feeling horny is life-affirming... Without sex, where does that leave us? Spending the rest of our lives photographing butterflies and picking up seashells?"Offense to malacologists and lepidopterists aside, that is creepy kind of move to shtup your daughter's boss/friend when she accompanies your daughter to visit you in the hospital.
Plus, you know: one's wife always just hates that.
Former Sixer and current novelist-pugilist Ian Spiegelman, baruch hashem, wrote this exact same item in 2004, back when Schimmel was trying to hawk a sitcom based on the novel concept that even dying dudes can be assholes. Except Spiegelman was a little more critical (barely but still).
Daughter Jessica wasn't always such a happy camper, either. She learned about Schimmel's infidelity with her friend when he discussed it on the [Howard] Stern show. Her reaction? "She didn't talk to me for over a year."
Slate shows impressive timing in choosing this week to focus their pointless and vaguely offensive "First Mates" series on Elizabeth Edwards. "Why Elizabeth Edwards Isn't Hillary Clinton"? Because when she proves to be more ambitious and driven than her smooth-talking husband, people don't respond to her with misogyny and him with disdain, apparently. Which means they might actually give a shit if and when they hear that he fooled around on her! [Slate]
Rudy Giuliani, the Mayor of 9/11, began running a radio ad in New Hampshire this week that's all about how he survived his prostrate cancer without any help from the government. "I had prostate cancer five, six years ago. My chance of surviving cancer, and thank God I was cured of it, in the United States, 82 percent. My chances of surviving prostate cancer in England, only 44 percent under socialized medicine." Of course, because Rudy Giuliani is saying those things, each sentence contains its own egregious lie. Even the first one!
Rudy was diagnosed with prostate cancer seven-and-a-half years ago. Not really sure if he just didn't remember that? We're kinda surprised he didn't say "I had cancer nine, eleven years ago."
The statistics, obviously, are both totally made-up, but you probably guessed that. And if you are even halfway paying attention to anything you might've noticed or remembered that his seven-and-a-half-year-old diagnosis happened when he was still Mayor of New York.
The Mayor is, like all city employees, part of the New York City Health Benefits Program. So his fancy cancer treatment was underwritten by hard-working joes like you and me! Here we are, struggling to make a buck, and the government wants to steal our paycheck so Mr. Fancy-pants Communist over there can keep riding around on his tiny pony purposefully getting more cancer all the time so Uncle Sam cuts him another check. Disgusting!

Kylie Minogue was spotted hamming it up for photographers as she strolled the streets of London on Saturday (October 27).
In a recent interview, the Australian pop star spoke of a desire to have babies of her own after successfully recovering from breast cancer.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation gave a little cancer-stricken child a 31-inch tall horse, a couple stray pit bulls killed it two days later, and then some CNN web editor wrote the best headline ever. The foundation will not be giving cancer boy a second tiny horse. :(
