Patrick Swayze Out Of Hospital

Patrick Swayze’s reps have confirmed that he has been released from the hospital.

Swayze checked himself in, suffering from pneumonia on January 9th. Given his battle with pancreatic cancer, his recovery from pneumonia has been remarkable.

Once again, Patrick has shown how tough and resilient he is. Let’s hope he can keep the fight going for some time yet.

Patrick Swayze Remains Positive

Patrick Swayze’s mother says the actor remains positive, despite his latest set back, being hospitalized with pneumonia.

When I heard he had pneumonia, I thought that it would really take its toll on his weakened immune system, but once again he seems to be sticking it to the illness and not giving in.

Last week on the ABC he denied that he was on his deathbed, but acknowledged that in reality he only has two years to live.

Hopefully, he can again prove the experts wrong and defy the disease.

Bernie Mac Dies

Actor Bernie Mac passed away early Saturday in Chicago at the age of 50.

Mac died due to comlications from pneumonia, after being hospitalised for more than a week with a lung infection.

The actor’s pulicist, Danica Smith had anounced his condition as stable on Thursday and said the pneumonia was not related to sarcoidosis, a lung disease Mac had, which was in remission since 2005.

Mac’s many film roles included the “Ocean’s Eleven” series, “Friday,” “Get on the Bus,” “Transformers” and “Bad Santa.”

R.I.P Bernie.

Neighbours Star Almost Dies on Flight

Neighbours star Kym Valentine was rushed to a Melbourne hospital on Saturday morning, after contracting severe pneumonia on board a flight from New York to Australia.

The actress, who plays Libby Kennedy on the hit Aussie soap, reportedly felt a little ill when she boarded the plane in New York. Her condition quickly deteriorated, and she spent the remainder of the trip floating in and out of consciousness.

At one point during the flight, airline staff were forced to administer oxygen in a bid to keep her alive.

Valentine is now recovering in hospital with her boyfriend, Australian actor Vince Colosimo, at her side. She is expected to make a full recovery, but will most likely remain in hospital for the rest of the week.
