Lady Gaga Fears Contracting Lupus, Campaigns For Sexual Education
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television,
“Telephone” pop star Lady Gaga is taking special care of herself to stop her getting lupus.
Gaga is not currently unwell with the disease, which can cause severe skin damage as well as harming many of the body’s organs, but is forced to pay special attention to her health to prevent her from falling ill.
“Lupus is in my family, it’s genetic. It’s funny because my mother told me the other day that my fans are worried because I did talk about the fact that I was tested for lupus. The truth is I don’t have any signs or symptoms of lupus but I have tested borderline positive for the disease. As of right now, I do not have it, but I have to take good care of myself.”
The 24-year-old singer recently underwent a series of medical tests after her aunt died from the disease. While she is trying hard to look after her health, the pop star is also busy campaigning to stop young homosexual people in America being judged by their sexuality.

Christina Applegate Opens Up About Her Double Mastectomy
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television,
Although it was only revealed a few weeks ago that Christina Applegate had been diagnosed with breast cancer, the actress now admits that she found out back in April.
In an exclusive interview on Good Morning America, the Samantha Who? star told Robin Roberts (also a breast cancer survivor) that her vigilance really paid off in in the end.
Because of her mother’s history with the same disease, Applegate knew it was important for her to begin mammograms at an early age. The 36-year-old had been receiving regular testing for approximately 6 years. Thanks to two MRIs conducted after a biopsy last year, the discovery was made.

Patrick Swayze Still Smoking Despite Cancer
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Photos, Editorials,
Although I first saw this photo last week, I have grown increasingly more angry over the past few days. Please someone tell me—why is Patrick Swayze still smoking?
Even though the actor was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in late January, this picture of him lighting up was taken just seven days ago. Smoking is believed to be one of the possible risk factors behind the disease.
Let’s hope Swayze is really doing all he can to fight this illness.

Amy Winehouse’s Contagious Condition
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Music,
Although it’s been years since I’ve taken my last marketing class, I do believe this was one of the major rules of thumb:
“If you’d like to launch a new cosmetic line, don’t be seen with a skin condition.”
Just last week, we reported that singer Amy Winehouse was in the process of starting her own clothing and makeup lines. Now I’m wondering if she should just stick the former.
In recent days, the singer has been spotted with some mysterious lumps on her face. After some speculated that she had been in a scuffle, Winehouse’s rep has set the record straight: she has impetigo. What is impetigo? Here is the definition supplied by Dictionary.com:
“A contagious skin disease, esp. of children, usually caused by streptococcal bacteria, marked by a superficial pustular eruption, particularly on the face.”
I think I saw the word ‘pus’ in there.
Despite her contagious state, Amy hasn’t stopped doing what she needs to do. She recently braved the cameras to visit her incarcerated honey, Blake Fielder-Civil.
