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.

Farrah Fawcett Near Death?

Whit — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 20:31:00 GMT

There have been reports that Farrah Fawcett, who has been battling cancer, is close to death. She was listed as unconscious and critical in a Los Angeles hospital, but the latest reports claim that she is doing better and will be released soon.

Let's hope for the latter.

Fawcett's homecoming will not be without additional drama. Her troubled son Redmond O'Neal (dad is Ryan O'Neal) was arrested yesterday for drug possession and trying to take narcotics into a jail- which I suppose is a good way to cut out the middle man, but you don't get to collect $200 (see Monopoly). However, it's probably not the kind of thing that a very sick parent needs to deal with.

Hopefully Farrah will regain her health and Redmond will get some help.

Yes, Redmond is a bit old to make the cut at FameCrawler, but he's an old school celebrity kid and unfortunately his actions have become something of a stereotype. Let's hope the current crop of famous children are able to take a different path.

Ack, bear! Run!

Sarah Palin is a straight-shootin' mama and Newsweek knows it. They have the cover to prove it.

The McGraths, Two Months Later

Whit — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 17:01:00 GMT

Jane McGrath died two months ago from cancer. Glenn McGrath is raising their two children, Holly (6) and James (8), and they are doing the best that they can.

"We talk about mummy all the time. They have chosen a star and we go say hello to mummy each night.

"The kids are going well and they are my main priority."

I can't even imagine how hard it must be for the McGrath family. It's nice to see they are starting to heal.

Jane McGrath Memorial

Whit — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 18:59:00 GMT

Jane McGrath's memorial service was attended by many mourners clad in pink, the color that symbolizes the fight against breast cancer to which McGrath recently lost her battle.

In a tender and bittersweet gesture McGrath's children, James and Holly, blew bubbles outside of the church, a tribute to the fact that their parents were wed in the same church in 1999. The children were accompied by their father Glenn.

Jane McGrath Loses Cancer Battle

Whit — Sun, 22 Jun 2008 06:24:00 GMT

Jane McGrath was the wife of Glenn McGrath, a famous cricket player in Australia. She has died after years of battling cancer. She was 42 and had two children, James and Holly.

Her management company released the following statement: "With Glenn and their two children by her side, Jane's wonderful life ended peacefully after a sudden decline in her health over the past week."

After being diagnosed with breast cancer in 1996 she and her husband founded the McGrath Foundation to provide breast cancer education and medical assistance to her fellow patients.

She also fought a secondary cancer in her hip. In 2006 she was diagnosed with a brain tumor.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the McGrath family, their friends and fans.

We have a large percentage of female readers, and I'm just a dumb guy that may not know what he's talking about, but I hope that everyone is conducting regular breast checks, in the words of Jane McGrath, "...early detection saves lives."
