Zac Efron Demands A Private Tent

It has been reported that Zac Efron has demanded a private tent on the set of his new movie to hide from female fans.

Zac who is currently filming ‘Seventeen Again’ in Los Angeles, was so terrified of being mobbed during a scene on location at a high school he asked bosses for somewhere he could escape to.

A source said that “Zac was petrified about being surrounded by students while shooting at a Los Angeles school, so he had producers erect a tent he could duck into every time the school bell rang. The pitter-patter of teenage feet scared him so much he asked for a bell schedule so he could zoom into the tent before class finished.”

“Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer and is currently undergoing treatment. Patrick’s physician Dr. George Fisher states, ‘Patrick has a very limited amount of disease and he appears to be responding well to treatment thus far. All of the reports stating the timeframe of his prognosis and his physical side effects are absolutely untrue. We are considerably more optimistic.’ Patrick is continuing his normal schedule during this time, which includes working on upcoming projects. The outpouring of support and concern he has already received from the public is deeply appreciated by Patrick and his family.”

Jenny McCarthy: Diet Can Ease Autism

It has been reported that Jenny McCarthy has called on the U.S. medical community to recognise that diet and vitamins can help ease the symptoms of autism.

Jenny whose five-year-old son Evan suffers from the disorder travels around America giving talks about the alleged benefits of natural medicines.

But it’s said that she wishes doctors would acknowledge how diets and vitamins can be used to treat autism.

Jenny said that “I’ve been speaking to moms across the country who are all shouting out the same thing: ‘this (diet and supplement intake) is working.’ “It’s so heartbreaking to see the medical community not support something called diet and vitamins. And it pains us, city after city after city. I see this heartbreak on these mom’s faces. Autism isn’t covered by (medical) insurance. If things like diets and supplements are working, then why not support it? These kids are getting better and I will not shut up and will not stop fighting about it”

My son who is four has Autism and anything that could help him I would be willing to try.
There are so many times of Autism out there I guess the doctors just want to make sure that it would help every type from slight Autism to full blown Autism.

He has invited me to Wiltshire this week to start writing it. But first we have to sit down and think about the rock and roll story.”

Patrick Swayze is dying due to Pancreatic Cancer

It has just been reported that Patrick Swayze is suffering from a particularly vicious form of pancreatic cancer which has now spread to his other organs, and is not responding to treatment.

Its said that he was diagnosed with the disease in January and after having radical chemotherapy the three doses of chemotherapy have failed to significantly shrink the tumour, and doctors have now told Patrick who is 55 to prepare for the end and could have as little as five weeks to live according to the National Enquirer magazine.

A source close to Patrick said that “He was told he could have two more treatments, but his cancer was not responding. In short - they held out little hope for a cure it’s time to start praying for a miracle.”

Sufferers of pancreatic cancer typically have a survival rate of less than 5 per cent, but as the cancer has spread to Patrick’s other vital organs he has an even lower chance of beating the disease.

United Nations watchdog Calls for Crackdown On Celebrity Drug Use

It has been announced that the United Nations watchdog has declared that dealing too leniently with celebrities who use drugs sends out the wrong message to young people.

Philip Emafo who is the President of the International Narcotics Control Board has openly warned against treating famous drug users too softly.

Phillip’s report added too many governments target low-level street dealers but did little to tackle big criminal gangs.

Phillip said that “Celebrities are often involved in illicit drug trafficking or in illicit drug use and this is glamorised, If, indeed, they have committed offences they should be dealt with.”

What do you think should they be tougher on celebrities after all they are people like us but just have got themselves a status in the celebrity world?
