Patrick Swayze Interview with Barbara Walters

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 07:13:37 +0000

Patrick Swayze (56) sat down for an interview with Barbara Walters to talk about his pancreatic cancer. Patrick said:

"There’s a lot of fear here. There’s a lot of stuff going on."

"Yeah, I’m scared. Yeah, I’m angry. Yeah, I’m asking why me. Yeah, I’m all this stuff."

"You can bet that I’m going through hell, and I’ve only seen the beginning of it."

He remembers when he first felt sick in late 2007. As he celebrated New Year’s Eve with his wife, Lisa Niemi, "I tried to have champagne, and it would be like pouring acid, you know, on an open wound," he recalls.

Soon, he says, "my indigestion issues got gigantic and constant. And then I started thinking, I’m getting skinny."

"I dropped about 20 pounds in the blink of an eye. And then when you see it in the mirror, when all of a sudden, you pull your eyes down and the bottom of your eyes go yellow and jaundice sets in, then you know something’s wrong."

Doctors found that Swayze had a malignant tumor in his midsection and a tiny mass on his liver. After a series of procedures over several days, doctors discovered that the actor had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

"I don’t know what’s on the other side," Swayze says. "It tests everything I believe in … that here is something unique in all of us that does not, does not die."

He says he often thinks of his late father.

"I like to believe that I’ve got a lot of guardian warriors sitting on my shoulder, including my dad, saying, ’You just let Swayze dog know it’s been his turn all this time. You just let us do the work and we’ll finish it for him.’"

"And so, I’m trying to shut up and let my angels speak to me and, and tell me what I’m supposed to do."

"What winning is to me is not giving up, is no matter what’s thrown at me, I can take it, and I can keep going."

Patricks’s wife, Lisa Niemi (52), said:

"For the first few weeks, it was like being in a nightmare you couldn’t wake up from."

We hope the time you have left is the best time of your life Patrick.

Paula Abdul Slams Simon Cowell and American Idol

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 22:25:26 +0000

Paula Abdul had a long talk with Barbara Walters about her 17 year stalker who ended up killing herself in front of Paula’s home. Paula claims Simon Cowell and American Idol have been trying to destroy her career, and make her look bad, even going so far as to blame her appearance of being on drugs or alcohol on both Simon and American Idol.

Paula can’t blame others for her own behavior. Now that Paula is lashing out at American Idol the way Rosie lashed out at Barbara Walters, we can begin some serious discussion about Paula leaving American Idol.

Barbara Walters Tells Rosie To Stop Dumping on The View

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 16:56:19 +0000

Barbara Walters talked about how proud she is for The View to have been on the air for 12 years, and she’s proud of some of the alumni. Other former co-hosts, Barbara said, choose to dump on the show for their own publicity, and she said she resents it.

Rosie was a sour puss before she ever went on The View, so Barbara knew what she was getting into. Too late to start whining now.

Thomas Beatie is Pregnant Again

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 04:11:41 +0000

Thomas Beatie, who is biologically a woman, is pregnant again.

Is it right to confuse a child like this?

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

On November 4 in Arkansas Voters passed a measure banning unmarried couples living together from serving as adoptive or foster parents. The adoption and foster ban received support from nearly 57 percent of voters. A supporter of the new law said:

"I think the voters realized that this was about child welfare, rather than the rights of adults."

Although there has been a big liberal push to confuse the public as to what a man or woman is, and what a traditional family is, a core conservative part of the population, even in California, know the difference insinctively. More needs to be done to encourage traditional families, and to stop social experiments involving children.

The View Discuss Prosition 8 and Gay Marriage

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 19:17:31 +0000

On The View Elisabeth Hasselbeck and Sherri Shepherd both agreed that Christian rights prevailed in the vote banning gay marriage. Barbara Walters tried to twist what happened by saying the Supreme Court in California voted to allow gay marriage. What really happened was the PEOPLE of California voted to ban gay marriage, then the Supreme Court in California overturned that law saying it was Unconstitutional, so the PEOPLE put Proposition 8 on the November 4 ballot. Proposition 8 proposed an ammendment to the California state Constitution that would ban gay marriage, making it Constitutional. Proposition 8 passed with an overwhelming majority of the PEOPLE of California voting for the Constitutional Amendment banning gay marriage. The PEOPLE spoke, but those who disagree refuse to accept reality.

Gay groups are now protesting the ban, but that isn’t going to change the Constitution. Gays are approaching this the wrong way. They keep trying to fight heterosexual Christians, but that hasn’t worked. The PEOPLE voted twice, and gays lost both times, so now what. I would suggest, as I have before, that gays try to get law makers to draft a new law that identifies a type of gay marriage that is called something other than marriage, or an expanded civil union law. The gay community have a lot of smart and creative people, so why is it so hard to come up with ideas other than attacking heterosexual Christian rights?

Sherri Shepherd Does Damage Control on Abortion

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 18:40:03 +0000

Sherri Shepherd told a black women Christian Precious Times magazine, she had a lot of abortion after sleeping with a lot of men. She obviously has never heard of the birth control pill. Well, then Sherri went on to say Barbara Walters needed saving. Sherri apologized to Barbara on the show, and added she feels guilty about the abortions. Where does Barbara find these women?

Wendy Williams says she thinks Sherri will lose her job.

Barbara Walters Asked Kate Hudson About Lance Armstrong

Hollywood Grind — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 19:10:23 +0000

Kate Hudson is such a drama queen. When Barbara Walters asked Hudson to confirm rumors she’s dating Lance Armstrong, Hudson made such a big deal out of it, when it’s not. The only reason Hudson was on The View was because of Lance.

Barbara Walters Still at War with Star Jones

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 13 May 2008 17:20:38 +0000

Barbara Walters went on Larry King, and REALLY set the record straight about lying to protect Star Jones, when she didn’t want to admit she got a gastric bypass. Star tried to throw Barbara under the bus when Star hid the truth. Barbara on the other hand has the TRUTH on her side, and Star is lashing out because the truth hurts, a lot, and it’s obvious to see why. Star’s life may seem messed up, but she’s got money and talent, and she could turn lemons into lemonade, but she’s more interested in taking Rosie’s approach of attacking others for telling the truth. Since Barbara is already at war with Star, Rosie and Barbara are getting along great.

Barbara Walters Accussed of Husband Stealing

Hollywood Grind — Sat, 10 May 2008 01:17:42 +0000

Barbara Walters admitted in her book Audition that she had an affair with Republican Senator Edward Brooke back in the 1970s while he was married. The senator was later divorced from that wife, and remarried.

The scorned ex wife was Remigia Brooke, whose family is now speaking out on her behalf, since Remigia is now dead. A family member told The National Enquirer:

"She hated Barbara Walters ’til the day she died. She always blamed Barbara for the breakup of their marriage. She knew Ed was a ladies man, but she always said the marriage might have been saved if it weren’t for Barbara Walters."

Ed was a horny old toad, and Barbara was a hussy. Barbara probably likes the whips and leather.

Star Jones Blasts Barbara Walters Over Bypass

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 08 May 2008 10:39:49 +0000

Star Jones is, like Rosie O’Donnell, can’t sit still when someone says anything that even resembles some sort of criticism, as if she’s perfect, unlike the rest of us. Barbara Walters is selling a book named Audition, in which Barbara claims she lied about Star’s gastric bypass surgery to keep it a secret, because Star didn’t want to talk about it. Star sent out this statement yesterday:

"It is a sad day when an icon like Barbara Walters, in the sunset of her life, is reduced to publicly branding herself as an adulterer, humiliating an innocent family with accounts of her illicit affair and speaking negatively against me all for the sake of selling a book. It speaks to her true character."

The truth hurts when you are willing to face it.

Star ended her comment by saying:

"I will not dignify this with a comment. Barbara’s written words say it all."

They sure do.

The video above and below are of Walters being interviewed about the book by Bill O’Reilly.
