Whoopi Goldberg Addresses Former Co-Star Patrick Swayze
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Daytime, Talk Shows, ABC, Video,
On today’s episode of The View, host Whoopi Goldberg took time out to talk about her friend Patrick Swayze. (It was recently announced that the Ghost star was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.)
She revealed that her memorable role in the weeper was primarily due to her former co-star’s influence. Had Swayze not influenced director Jerry Zucker to cast Goldberg, she would not have received her 1991 Academy Award win for Best Supporting Actress.

Patrick Swayze Diagnosed with Cancer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Celeb News, Rumors,
After rumors starting swirling around the internet today, reps for Patrick Swayze had to confirm the unfortunate news: the actor has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.
The National Enquirer has been reporting exclusively that the 55-year-old has been given only five weeks left to live. The tabloid claims the cancer, which was discovered in late January, has already spread to other organs.
While the details of Swayze’s current condition was left vague, a statement released today seems to contradict the dire news:
“Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.
Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family.”
Whatever the truth is, we truly wish the best for Swayze and the rest of his family.

Kicking ‘The Bucket List’
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Warner Bros, Drama, Upcoming Releases,
In a season rich with holiday movies about family, friendship and fun, Rob Reiner is giving audiences cancer. Not literally, but the disease is the subject of Reiner’s latest film, The Bucket List. A-listers Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman star in the flick, reason enough to drive moviegoers to the theaters. The movie is about two cancer patients (Nicholson and Freeman) who make a list of 10 things they’d like to do before they die (kick the bucket, get it?). The movie is set to open January 11, well after the holiday movie rush, but will viewers be in a mood for post-holiday death melodrama?
