Patrick Dempsey Races for Breast Cancer Research

Karl Erikson — Sun, 25 Jan 2009 14:36:00 GMT

Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey brought in big crowds yesterday at the Grand-Am Rolex 24 at Daytona International Speedway in Florida. Patrick, 43, drove in the GT class behind the wheel of a Mazda RX-8. It was a 24-hour endurance event that he competed in with four other drivers.

Patrick, father of 3, also spent the day raising money to fight breast cancer. His mom is a breast cancer survivor, so Patrick regularly raises money for the cause. The race helped raise money for the Avon Foundation's Avon Walk for Breast Cancer.

*sigh* He IS dreamy, isn't he? *cough* I mean that in a totally heterosexual way.

The McGraths, Two Months Later

Whit Honea — 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.

Christina Applegate Fighting Breast Cancer

Karen — Wed, 06 Aug 2008 14:02:00 GMT

It's been a sad summer for Christina Applegate. In July, her ex-boyfriend was found dead in his home following a drug overdose, and now the 36 year-old actress has been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Last January, we reported that Christina wanted to have children "with or without a man in her life," in response to questions after her divorce.

The 36-year-old star released a statement confirming the illness through television news magazine 'Extra'.

The statement said: "Benefiting from early detection through a doctor-ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time."

Thank goodness for that. I sure hope things look up for Christina very soon. We'd love to see her dreams for a family come true.

Jane McGrath Memorial

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 Honea — 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."

Sheryl Crow and Wyatt Out and About

trix — Fri, 30 May 2008 20:54:00 GMT

Sheryl Crow was out and about with her son Wyatt and a friend in New York City.

Is it me or does she suddenly look every one of her 46 years?

Wyatt has a very serious look about him. He's probably wondering what all the fuss is about, it is after all just his mom.

He sure is cute.

Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon, 42, plans to wed her girlfriend Christine Marinoni. Nixon was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006 - she underwent six-and-a-half weeks of radiaton as well as surgery and that has prompted her to make an official declaration of her love and commitment to her lover.

According to an insider, who spoke with the National Enquirer, "Cynthia and Chris want a quiet autumn ceremony in Vermont under the red leaves.

"It's supposed to be a very low-key gathering, just for close friends and family."

Cynthia and Christine have been together since 2004. Nixon has two children with her ex-husband Danny Mozes.

Cynthia Nixon's Battle With Breast Cancer

Karen — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:06:00 GMT

When Sex in the City star Cynthia Nixon was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, she kept very quiet about it, even going so far as to schedule her surgeries for Sundays so she didn't miss any work time.

She recalls, "I didn't want to make it public while I was going through it. I didn't want paparazzi at the hospital."
Nixon's mother had also suffered from the disease, so when she herself was diagnosed, she admits she wasn't surprised.

She admits, "I always sort of thought I was going to get breast cancer. (That) there's a really good chance."

Partner Christine Marioni and her two children, Samantha, 12, and Charles, 5, helped her through the ordeal.

Nixon is the spokesperson for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, encouraging women to get tested.

Kylie Minogue Making a Comeback After Beating Breast Cancer

Karen — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 17:08:00 GMT

The Daily Mail reported falsely that Kylie Minogue had canceled her tour due to her health but nothing could be further from the truth. On her official website, she has issued a statment to the contrary:

"Kylie has not been told by her doctors that touring "could seriously harm her health". She did not give the quotes reported in the Mail today. And touring is something that she is still considering for the future. Her health remains excellent and she is in the middle of promoting her new single and album."

Kylie released a new single "2 Hearts" on her website, as well as a mobile phone social networking site.

Go Kylie!

Kylie Minogue Wants Babies

Karen — Tue, 09 Oct 2007 13:40:00 GMT

After battling breast cancer since 2005, Kylie Minogue sat down with Glamour Magazine and talked about the emotional recovery on top of the physical one.

"When you are stripped of everything and you have to grow your eyelashes back, grow your hair back, it's just astonishing," she said. "It's hard to express what I've learned from that, but a deep psychological and emotional shift has obviously taken place."

While Minogue split from her boyfriend earlier this year, she still hopes that she will have a family, but insists walking down the aisle is not part of the priorities in doing so:

"I want to keep working on finding perfect harmony within my life and my work," the singer tells Glamour. "And a family, yeah, that's still something I would love to happen. I honestly don't have a feeling one way or the other if I will walk down the aisle."
