Famed composer Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber has been diagnosed with prostate cancer according to a statement that his publicist released to The Press Association.
“Andrew Lloyd Webber has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The condition is in its very early stages.
“Andrew is now undergoing treatment and expects to be fully back at work before the end of the year.”
Hopefully he will be better soon because we are not ready to lose the man who brought us Joseph And The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Jesus Christ Superstar, Evita, Starlight Express and The Phantom Of The Opera to name a few. He still needs to give us a few more memorable musicals that will leave us singing their songs forever. In fact he was expected to open Phantom of the Opera 2 in March in London, and at this point there is no word if the play will be delayed or not.
Brad Pitt was in a minor motorcycle accident when the mirror of his motorcycle hit the mirror of a parked paparazzo car today according to E! News. Although reports made it seem more serious; it was just a minor accident and the Inglourious Basterds star was uninjured. His motorcycle fate’s is still unknown because after it fell to the ground it wouldn’t start.
Thankfully Brad was wearing his helmet and he still has that ugly thick beard so his face was protected and that is still OK. I really hope Angelina Jolie and the kids tell him to stop riding his motorcycles around town because they are not safe. Two words, Gale and Harold.
Morrissey collapsed tonight while performing at a show in England and was taken to the hospital. A fan told the BBC he did not look well and kept covering his mouth like he was going to be sick before he collapsed.
A Great Western Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: Just after 9pm we got a call to a 50-year-old who was reported to be suffering from respiratory problems and was unconscious.
“We sent a paramedic in a double-crewed ambulance.
“When they arrived they found a conscious patient who was not feeling well at all.
“They made an initial assessment and took him to the Great Western Hospital for further assessment.”
Morrissey’s condition is listed as stable and hopefully he will be better soon. No word when he or if he will continue his tour that is going throughout Europe and The US until mid-December.
So after weeks of saying he was leaving The Young and The Restless because he refused to take a pay cut, Eric Braeden tells TV Guide Magazine he will continue playing Victor Newman for another 3 years.
Luckily, Braeden had more than just strong negotiation skills. He had the fans on his side. “The most important thing I’ve learned in all this, and what has been very supportive and heart-warming, was the support of the public and the fans,” Braden says. “That played a role in my not turning my back on the whole thing.”
After fan outrage grew too loud to ignore, Braeden returned to the negotiating table and signed a new three-year deal Oct. 23. “In the end, you realize only in moments like this how what you do as actor or an artist affects people and that is a wonderful thing to know.”
The 68 year old probably realized that even though he is a popular actor, no one would want him and his salary. Braeden has been with Y&R for 29, so imagine how much he made before the pay cut? With one soap already cancelled and at least two more in jeopardy, it is better to take a pay cut then to be out of work. Other celebs have sacrificed to keep their jobs on their soaps that are on the air. The cast of Days of Our Lives have taken pay cuts and the actors of All My Children are moving across the country to keep working. So do I feel bad for Eric Braeden having to take a pay cut in these tough economic and soap opera times, heck no. But I am sure you Victor Newman fans will disagree with me?
Before Dana Delaney wanted to ring her neighbor Susan’s neck on Desperate Housewives, she was helping her neighbor get out ring around his collar with Wisk. How fresh faced did the 27 year old look in that 1984 commercial?
