Penny Marshall (66) reportedly had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from her brain at a New York hospital on October 30, according to the National Enquirer. A tumor was also found on Marshall’s liver, which means the cancer probably originated in the liver, and spread to the brain, which is very bad.

A source said:

Penny had flown from Los Angeles to New York to see her favorite team in the playoffs and hopefully in the World Series.

"After the flight, Penny felt so sick that she needed to see a doctor," continued the source."

"She was vomiting and thought it might be the flu."

"But she got the shock of her life when the doctors told her she had a tumor on both her brain and her liver."

"Doctors told her they needed to schedule her for surgery and that they’d need to take a biopsy to determine if she had cancer."

Devastating.

Dennis Hopper (73) has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is canceling all travel plans to focus on treatment, his manager said Thursday.

The 73-year-old actor and artist is being treated through a "special program" at the University of Southern California, said Sam Maydew.

Asked about Hopper’s prognosis, Maydew said, "We’re hoping for the best." He would not elaborate on the actor’s condition.

Hopper was hospitalized in New York earlier this month for dehydration. Hopper also cancelled his appearance at an exhibition of his artwork and photography at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image in Melbourne, Australia.

Hopper is currently cast in the TV show Crash, and has several film projects lined up, but those projects may all be put on hold as Hopper receives treatment.

Andrew Lloyd Webber was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Fortunately, doctors found the cancer early, so he’ll take a break from his sequel to Phantom of the Opera for treatment, then return to work.

Men should get a PSA blood test every year after the age of 40, some say 50, but I say 40. Better safe than dead.

David Hasselhoff was in London to attend a birthday party for Simon Cowell over the weekend. The Hoff was staying at the five-star St Martins Lane Hotel where he partied night and day for days. Finally a doctor was called, who The Hoff allegedly hit, so they locked him in the basement before calling an ambulance. The Sun reports:

A source close to the star said: "David is very hard to handle when he drinks, often very emotional and aggressive."

"On this occasion he became so drunk he wet his hotel bed – ruining two mattresses – and was becoming a real pain for staff.

"His assistant Joe Townley was so concerned he called out a doctor.

"David was furious and lashed out at him – but mistakenly hit the doctor.

"They decided they had no option but to lock him in the basement until an ambulance arrived."

Hotel guest Maria Weston, 44, told how she saw Hasselhoff swearing in the bar.

She said: "He was abusing all the staff, shouting at everyone. We were shocked – you’d think he was just some drunk, not a big star."

Looks like the Dave stopped taking the anti-drinking pills. What do you do when a grown man wants to drink himself to death? Dave needs help, but he is the only one that can help him.

On Sunday reports said David Hasselhoff was hospitalized with alcohol poisoning after he was drinking all day, and his daughter called 911. This is believable because the Hoff has been hospitalized with alcohol poisoning 5 times in the past few years.

Yesterday the Hoff said he wasn’t drinking, he was very dizzy from an ear infection, and so an ambulance was called.

The Hoff says he is taking Antabuse to help keep him from drinking, and was taking Antivert to help him with his dizziness before he finally got an ambulance to take him to the hospital.

Symptoms of a Antabuse overdose include nausea, vomiting, dizziness, loss of coordination, numbness and tingling, and seizures, so it is possible that the Hoff was taking too much Antabuse that could have caused his symptoms, unless it was confirmed that he truly does have an ear infection. I’m going to believe the Hoff this time, but he still needs to watch himself closely, because he is a raging alcoholic.
