Patrick Swayze Really Not A Fan Of The Whole Cancer Thing
The last time Patrick Swayze had a second chance it was in the movie Ghost, and he used it to cut a bloke in half with a window. And now Patrick Swayze has been given another second chance, and this one is perhaps even more remarkable. When he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze was supposedly given five weeks to live. That was back in March, and not only has Swayze not died, but he's also managed to star in a TV show in the meantime as well. So Patrick Swayze has hit the promotional circuit, giving a bracingly upbeat interview to the New York Times where he revealed how proud he is of his continued recovery while admitting that chemotherapy is 'hell on wheels'. It must be working, though, because Swayze is doing a fairly good impression of a man on the mend. Maybe our dream of seeing Red Dawn 2: Zombie Commies get made wasn't so stupid after all.

Paul Newman to ‘Die at Home’, Has ‘Weeks to Live’
It may well be out of character for hecklerspray to be genuine twice in a day, but Paul Newman is a better reason than any to break with tradition. The 83-year-old has reportedly been told he has weeks to live following chemotherapy treatment for lung cancer and, when confronted with the news, he told doctors he wanted to die at home. Just as he has proven time and time again through his long life, Paul Newman is nothing less than a man's man - dictating where death is allowed to get its slimy mitts on him. While we did all hope that Newman would crack a pool cue over cancer's back, it would appear that the insidious little bastard of a disease has managed to one-up Butch Cassidy. While we hope to God, Allah, Buddah, Xenu and everyone else in-between that the reports are as inaccurate as the ones saying Bernie Mac was healthy, recent images of Newman have left us with little hope, showing the legend looking weak and frail - a shell of the man we at hecklerspray have a real love for.
