Cancer-stricken actor Patrick Swayze has been living life to the fullest, and even wrapped up filming on a TV show recently, but there are reports this weekend that the actor is losing his battle with the pancreatic cancer.
“Patrick recently got word that the cancer had spread to his liver and that is what his doctors said would begin the countdown to the end,” a source told National Enquirer magazine.

Actress and fashion conglomerate Mary-Kate Olsen is reportedly pregnant by boyfriend Nate Lowman, so says the National Enquirer. The reasons for the rumors apparently is that the pint-size 22-year-old “Full House” star has gained 22 pounds and now is a hefty 102 pounds. That sounds like nuthin - but remember she been a waif-like 82 lbs for a couple of years.
A source said: “Mary-Kate has been looking a lot rounder recently. It is good she has put on weight, because she previously suffered from anorexia, but a lot of people think she could actually be attempting to hide her pregnancy.”

Okay, I want everybody to take a good look at these two.
Go on, look. I promise your eyeballs won’t burst into flames or run screaming out of your skull.
Got this image firmly planted in your brain? Good.
Now, think about this…these are the sorts of people that so many of the fashion-conscious world takes their cues from. These people are hailed as trendsetters. Every time you purchase a bottle of Covet perfume, or buy a Valentino frock (I don’t know what you’re talking about…what credit crunch?), this is the sort of thing you’re supporting.
Do you really want to be responsible for this?
Stop the madness! Just say no!

It’s entirely too early in the morning for this sort of thing. News is that Cynthia Rodriguez, soon to be ex-wife of slugger Alex Rodriguez, is hopping mad that he is abandoning his children to jump at the chance to be with Madonna and her offspring:
The Yankee slugger, who ditched his wife of six years, Cynthia, after becoming besotted with Madonna, is a “soul-less” man who is “abandoning” his kids on Thanksgiving for his lover, according to what Cynthia is telling friends.
“Access Hollywood” reports that Cynthia, who’s in the final stages of her divorce from A-Rod, wrote an e-mail to a confidant noting: “My 6-foot-3, 220-pound soul-less, soon-to-be ex-husband is abandoning his kids on Thanksgiving to be with Madonna . . . She called and he ran on her command back to New York City . . . Gross!”
Instead of ushering in the holidays in Miami with his children, Natasha, 4, and Ella, 1 - A-Rod, 33, is hosting a dinner at his Manhattan apartment for Madonna, 50, and her kids, Lourdes, Rocco and David, and manager Guy Oseary.
Well, it’s nice to know that A-Rod has his priorities straight. After all, what could be more important than keeping Madonna happy?
Cynthia, a bit of advice for you: He doesn’t want to be with you or your children. Deal with it and stop trying to force him to pay attention to his daughters, because most of the time a man who is forced to spend time with his children comes to resent it even though that’s the wrong attitude to take. Raise them to respect him but not to expect him. One of two things will happen…either he will decide he likes being free and will just ignore them (and really, do you want a man like that in their life?), or he’ll eventually realize what he’s lost with his kids and try to make amends with them. Either way, make sure he supports them financially, because that is only right.
This has all the makings of a really bad Lifetime special. Thanksgiving With Madonna, the heartwarming holiday tale of a woman with no boundaries, no scruples, no wrinkles, and no husband.

This past Sunday, former Scientologist and mental patient, Mario Majorski, stormed the Scientology Celebrity Center complex in Hollywood, wielding two swords threatening those at the center before being fatally shot by armed Scientology guards. Majorski, who was a member in good standing of the Church as of ‘93, was named in a suit brought by Scientology’s attorney, Ken Moxon against UCLA and a professor at the university.
Majorski, who maintained residence in both LA and Oregon, had a history of making threats against the Church for some time, and was known by the CoS and local law enforcement. He also had had non-CoS related police run-ins in the last decade.
Here’s more detail on the incident from the LATimes:
A church spokesman said the 48-year-old had not participated in Scientology activities for more than a decade, but in recent years he had made a series of threatening phone calls to church offices in Los Angeles and Oregon, where he had been living.
“There were over a dozen threats at various points since 2005,” said spokesman Tommy Davis.
The church alerted police to the calls, which Davis described as ranging from veiled statements that “something bad” would happen to the church to direct threats of violence.
Although Majorski’s name was known to church security, Davis said, guards, including the former police officer who shot him Sunday afternoon, did not know him by sight.
“It was only after it happened that we realized, ‘Oh, it’s that guy,’ ” he said.
The Times report also said that law enforcement believed Majorski hadn’t had regular employment for a while, but had previously worked with his now-deceased father’s real estate
business. Majorski’s mother also passed away in the last year, and there were some incidents related to his mother at the facility where she was staying before she died:
In 2006, the administrator at Country Villa Broadway, the San Gabriel medical facility where his mother was a patient, sought a restraining order against him. In court papers, the administrator wrote that Majorski’s visits from Oregon were unwelcome.
A Superior Court judge barred Majorski from visiting unless he was accompanied by a special monitor.
While living in Florence, Oregon, Majorski had run-ins with law enforcement there as well:
On Nov. 2, Majorski was arrested at a Mormon church service in Florence, Ore., the coastal town where he lived
A Florence police spokeswoman told the Associated Press that he was “cursing and moving around a lot” and was charged with disorderly conduct and criminal trespass.
Less than a month ago, he was arrested in Florence for swinging an ax at an Auto Club employee who was bringing him gas for his car.
Majorski threatened to shoot police who went to his home to investigate, according to a police report. He pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct.
As to the lawsuit and Scientology issue while Majorski was a student at UCLA, that’s a bit more complicated. Here’s what the times was able to dig up:
Majorski was a church member in good standing in 1993 when he and a classmate sued a psychiatry professor and UCLA.
The professor, Louis West, was an expert on brainwashing and an outspoken critic of Scientology, which he dismissed as a “pyramid scheme.”
Suits filed in state and federal court accused West of activities, including speaking to anti-cult groups, that transgressed the separation of church and state and interfered with Majorski’s practice of religion.
Both suits were dismissed, and court records indicate that Majorski’s role was largely limited to providing his name as a plaintiff.
This last bit is where the heart of matter may lie. Scientology’s beliefs are inherently antagonistic towards modern psychiatry and psychiatric therapies, including pharmaceutical drugs designed to help people suffering from a variety of mental illnesses. According to the NY Daily News, Majorski was a mental patient on probation, who has stalked an Oregon judge with a weapon:
A samurai sword-swinging ex-Scientologist shot to death outside the Church of Scientology’s Hollywood Celebrity Center was a mental health patient on probation for stalking a judge in Oregon.
Mario Majorski, 48, was caught with a “sharpened railroad spike” in his backpack as he entered an Oregon courthouse in June 2007 searching for a female judge who handled a landlord-tenant dispute he’d lost, a top prosecutor told the Daily News.
“He sent the judge a threatening letter, and after that he entered the courthouse with a backpack containing a sharpened railroad spike about seven inches long,” said Lane County Chief Deputy District Attorney Alex Gardner.
Majorski pleaded to a misdemeanor stalking charge, and the felony weapons charge was dropped. A judge directed him to the Lane County Mental Health department on 24 months probation, Gardner said.
Clearly the guard at the Celebrity Center was justified in his efforts to thwart Majorski, who was intent on harming someone. Coupled with his blatant threats against the Church of Scientology, it is probably an open and shut case. But the deeper issue here is how did Scientology’s crusade against psychiatry affect Majorski’s mindset towards getting the mental help he so obviously needed? Not to mention the damage that may have been done to the fragile psyche of a person with mental issues by being involved with an organization which has been routinely accused of being a brain-washing cult.
This is not the first time Scientology has been at the center of a mental illness related death, where their efforts to “obliterate psychiatry” have come back to haunt them. Read about Jeremy and Elli Perkins, Lisa McPherson, or Linda Walicki, and Australian woman, who stabber her father and her 15-year old sister to death when her Scientologist parents refused her medical treatment for her worsening mental illness because of the Church’s teachings. Her mother survived several stab wounds, and told authorities, “It’s not her fault, she’s sick,” after the deaths of her husband and young daughter.
The Church of Scientology protected itself on Sunday from one of its own, but what about all the victims it’s knowingly created and unleashed on the world? Who will protect them or those they hurt in the process?
