Wayman Tisdale Dead

Whit — Fri, 15 May 2009 20:09:00 GMT

Wayman Tisdale has died after battling cancer of the knee for two years.

Tisdale played in the NBA for the Pacers, Kings and Suns and was on the U.S. Olympic team that won a gold medal.

Tisdale left basketball to pursue his love of music. He played smooth jazz on bass guitar.

Wayman Tisdale is survived by his wife and their four children. He was 44-years-old.

As a lifelong Suns fan, not to mention a lover of jazz, I have very fond memories of Mr. Tisdale over the years. Very sad.

Our thoughts to his family, friends and fans in his passing.

Jade Goody's Cancer Cells Shrinking

karl — Sat, 10 Jan 2009 19:10:00 GMT

Looks like great news for former Big Brother star Jade Goody: her chemotherapy sessions seem to be working. Jade was diagnosed with cervical cancer last summer.

"I do have good news," she says, "I was told my cancer cells have shrunk a little, which means the chemo is working. But it's too soon to say if I have a better chance of survival."

Jade, 27, had an operation last week for a blocked kidney. "Once every month, for the next 12 months, I have to have two types of chemo drugs pumped into me through a tube. It takes 5 hours altogether. It doesn't hurt, but it makes me feel really sick afterwards."

The worst part is her appetite. "I get hungry," Jade says, "but everything I eat tastes like metal and I throw it up. I'm sick three times a day and it's going to get worse."

It's just being reported that Big Brother UK star Jade Goody is having an operation today to fix a blocked kidney. It started before Christmas...Jade, battle cervical cancer, started feeling rather unwell after a chemo session.

"I was really down on my chemo day and in a lot of pain," she says. "My doctors decided to keep me in hospital. I had a blockage around my kidney."

She faced "flu-like symptoms and couldn't continue with her panto role as the Wicked Witch in 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.'" After a few tests, doctors said that Jade, 27, needed the emergency procedure.

Jade's agent says, "We are hoping she can come out of hospital again quickly." Jade has 2 sons - Bobby, 5, and Freddie, 4.

Here's hoping everything goes great for Jade.

Jade Goody Responding Well to Cancer Treatment

karl — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 17:34:00 GMT

Doctors say that Jade Goody, former star of "Big Brother" in the UK, is responding well to her latest cancer treatment. They're quite pleased with her progress, especially considering that she suffered complications after her first round of treatments. At one point, Jade (27) had an 8-hour hysterectomy and was given a 50/50 chance of surviving her cervical cancer.

Jade, mom of sons Freddie (4) and Bobby (5) is taking a second break from treatment and is currently appearing in panto with Kevin Kennedy in Lincoln. She told friends that she's feeling better and happier.

Great news for the hoidays, that's for sure!

Jade Goody Is Preparing For Death

trix — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 12:31:00 GMT

Jade Goody is growing up fast and facing issues that no one should have to face. She is only 27, has two young boys, and a 50-50 chance to live. Sadly, her cervical cancer metastasized to her stomach lining, and her doctor warned, "That her chances of survival aren't good."

With that in mind Jade has begun to make plans for her funeral saying, “I’d want to have an open funeral and let everyone who wanted to come along. I want people to cry over me! And I don’t want people to have a booze up.”
She also has to decide who will take care of her sons Bobby and Freddie. Her doctor warned her that her chances of survival aren't good so she has to start think about more unpleasant things. She said, "The only person good enough for my kids is me."
Could you imagine having to decide that? I cannot. I know it's one of those things that we all need to take care of and that having a living will is a really good idea, but it's too scary.

She's is going through all of this alone because her on again/off again boyfriend Jack, is in jail.

Jade Goody Shocked and Hurt by Death Predicting Website

karl — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:10:00 GMT

Jade Goody's lawyers are now trying to shut down a really sick website, which is taking bets on when Jade will die. Jade, 27, was diagnosed with cervical cancer in September and recently underwent a full hysterectomy in an effort to halt the cancer's spread.

Now there's a web site - whenwilljadegoodydie.com - that is not only creating a pool of bets on when Goody will die, but really slamming her. Here is some of the shit they're saying:

"Jade Goody started out as a loud mouth nobody and after her appearances on Big Brother UK and their Big Brother Celebrity Special she is still a loud mouth nobody. And that is exactly the reason for this site. Jade Goody has done nothing and we mean nothing to enhance life on this planet. She fills the tabloid pages with crap about herself.

"She’s an egotistical twat who can’t have a normal relationship as it would mean she’d have to share herself with somebody else than herself. And yet the tabloids still give her their newspaper inches while they should be giving her 10 inches of red hot steel up her ass. She bullied and made racist remarks to a fellow Big Brother Celebrity contestant and was puked upon by the UK and India.

"To give her shit covered star a new shine she recently went over to India to participate in their version of Big Brother (presented by the person she bullied and discriminated against). While in the house Jade Goody got the news she was diagnosed with cancer. Aweful news really. For anyone. Even Jade Goody. But Jade Goody’s bad news turned into a tabloid marathon of Jade bullshit.

"Jade Goody made it seem as she is and will ever be the only person to get the Big C. Wake up and smell the shit stained blankets Jade. You’re not special. You’re not the Chosen One. Cancer hits millions of people everywhere and those millions of people deal with it in dignity and not by talking crap and getting their sobbing faces into the newspaper day after day. If you wanted our sympathy you could have promoted cancer charities instead of yourself while enduring your disease. We wish death on no one, but we wish you, Jade Goody, a good old fashioned Donkey Punch."

Classy, very classy. What a bunch of assholes. Also on the front page is a form where you can enter your email address and the date and time of Jade's predicted death. Whoever gets closest to Jade's actual date and time of death wins an iPhone. Nice.

Jade's spokesman says, "Naturally, she was shocked and hurt when she found out about this website. But she has also been overwhelmed by the amount of letters, cards, and messages of good will she has received from the public."

Listen, cancer is not a fucking joke. No matter what you think of Jade - and yeah, she's screwed up big time in the past - you don't wish death on anyone. And if there's ever a time to be self-centered, it's when you get a cancer diagnosis, particularly when you have kids depending upon you.

I'm not sure if lawyers can get that site shut down. For one thing, it's in Holland. For another, shitty as it is, I can't imagine the jerks running the site are breaking any laws. But if they have an ounce of decency in them, they'll voluntarily pull the damn thing.

Jade Goody Takes Boys to School

karl — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 14:03:00 GMT

Jady Goody took her boys, Bobby and Freddie, to school yesterday. Goody, 27 and a reality TV star, is fighting cervical cancer. I'm sure the boys are happy to see their mum home. I know it's a scary thing for your parents to be sick.

Jade is due back to the hospital this week, actually, for another operation. After her hysterectomy a couple of weeks ago, she'll be going in to have a catheter inserted into her chest to get her ready for chemotherapy. But at least she's home again.

We're all wishing her the best and a speedy recovery.
