A year ago, Alex Trebek revealed to the world that he has Stage IV Pancreatic cancer. The survival rate for someone who has it, to make it a year is just 18%. As you can see, he is one of the 18%. That is why he chose now to give us an update on his health.
“I’d be lying if I said the journey had been an easy one. There were some good days, but a lot of not-so-good days. I joked with friends that the cancer won’t kill me, the chemo treatments will.
“There were moments of great pain, days when certain bodily functions no longer functioned and sudden, massive attacks of great depression that made me wonder if it really was worth fighting on.”
However, those feelings did not last long because he did not want to betray the people who love and care for him. One of those groups of people is others who are also going through cancer. He has some advice for them, “If I, no, we, because so many of us are involved in this same situation, if we take it just one day at a time with a positive attitude, anything is possible.”
That is why his doctor told him that even though the 2-year survival rate is only 7%, his physician is “certain Trebek will be there getting an update from him.
I guess you can say he is out of Jeopardy. Only from cancer and not the show that he hosts.
Seriously, he is a role model because he shows us that we do have a chance of beating even the most incurable of cancers. I will take, that is inspiring news for $2,000, Alex.
MGM and Universal announced today that they are delaying Daniel Craig’s last Bond, James Bond feature until November 25th. No Time To Die was originally slated to come out next month.
Why the change? They said, “MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, announced today that after careful consideration and thorough evaluation of the global theatrical marketplace, the release of NO TIME TO DIE will be postponed until November 2020.”
Yeah, like the Coronavirus is at fault? Let’s be real, the movie has not been getting much buzz, the trailer was a train wreck that told no story, and Billie Eilish’s theme song is being trashed, by me and others.
Even though the movie has had a lot of delays due to a director dropping out and injuries by the lead. I bet they are going to do some reshoots to make the feature better.
Worse comes to worst, they can get a new 007 for the next movie in the franchise. Oh wait…
Tom Selleck was on Live with Kelly and Ryan today, and the hosts wanted to make him feel comfortable. Therefore, Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa put on mustaches just like the one that Blue Bloods’ star has.
I can’t believe I am saying this, but the American Idol host does not look awful with the Magnum. I would say he should grow one similar to that, but I don’t think he can. He does not seem like the type who can grow a thick beard or mustache like Selleck. That is why the sex symbol has been known for it for almost 40 years, and he is not going to get rid of it anytime soon.
David Beckham is on Ellen today, and he tells Ellen DeGeneres what a good guy Justin Bieber is. Although, I am sure he no longer has the same impression of the Popstar.
That is because Ellen got their friend to hide in her little table and scare Golden Balls. I was so expecting the Becks to scream like a little girl (to match his voice) when the Beeds frightened him. Sadly, he pretty much sat there, stunned into silence.
If I were Bieber, then I would be afraid. Doesn’t he realize that Beckham is known for kicking balls!
Dwyane Wade had a little bet with Shaquille O’Neal over the Milwaukee Bucks vs. the Miami Heat game on Monday, and the latter one lost. When Shaq asked D-Wade what he needs to do to settle up, the winner told the loser to “let his hairline grow out.”
That is exactly what Shaq did, and he debuted his new look on NBA on TNT yesterday. Then he told the audience to go ahead and joke about it because you won’t hurt his feelings.
His forehead is just like him and oversized. But in his hairline’s defense, it has a big head to fill. There is only so much hair that can grow on someone’s body and imagine how many strands it must take to cover all 7’1″ of him. He had to go bald somewhere. Better there, then down there.
When it comes to his new hairstyle, and I do mean hair, I hope he lets it grow out even more. I want to see him with the George Jefferson. Too bad, Sherman Hemsley is no longer with us. I would have loved to have seen them do a Twins remake.
Now that I think about it, imagine Shaq and Kevin Hart doing it? Hart is not even big enough to cover the NBAer’s bald spot.
One last note, thanks Dwyane! It is just another reason to love you!
