Jade Goody has Died

Hollywood Grind — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 16:24:08 +0000

Jade Goody, a mother of two sons, and a former dental assistant turned reality-TV star, has died of cervical cancer at the young age of 27.

Bald and frail, Goody married fiancee Jack Tweed last month in an elaborate event staged at an elegant countryside hotel outside London. Good, who reportedly sold the photos for more than $1 million, defended being paid for interviews and photo shoots.

"People will say I’m doing this for money," she said. "And they’re right, I am. But not to buy flash cars or big houses — it’s for my sons’ future if I’m not here. I don’t want my kids to have the same miserable, drug-blighted, poverty-stricken childhood I did."

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said Sunday that Goody used her fame to help her two young sons and many women she did not know.

"She was a courageous woman both in life and death and the whole country have admired her determination to provide a bright future for her children. he will be remembered fondly by all who knew her and her family can be extremely proud of the work she has done to raise awareness of cervical cancer."

If my information is correct, in the U.K. pap smears to check for cervical cancer is only done one every three years. In the United States a pap smear is recommended once per year at least. Get a pap smear once a year. In addition, consider getting the GARDASIL vaccine, which is recommended for girls ages 9 to 26 to help prevent certain other diseases that can lead to cervical cancer.

Rest in peace Jade. Your courage and strength will be remembered.

Jade Goody is still alive, and yet the UK edition of OK! magazine is already running a tribute issue of her life from 1981 to 2009. We think this could have waited until Jade actually passed away.

Jade Goody in Critical Condition

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 06:14:42 +0000

Jade Goody is at home with her family in critical condition. Her publicist Max Clifford says:

"She was hoping to be well enough to see the boys but at the moment she is in a very bad state, she is very unwell. She saw the boys for a few hours on Wednesday."

Since pain killers have not been enough, nurses at Jade’s side have been administering sedatives. Clifford says:

"The more sedated she is, the weaker she gets. It’s a very critical time. She is unconscious a lot of the time, almost in a coma-like state, although she is not in an actual coma. She’s heavily sedated, so she comes round for maybe a few minutes, sometimes just a few seconds and she goes again. She seems to be aware that Jack and her mother Jackiey are here."

Clifford adds Jade had a special visitor around lunchtime today:

"A priest came to the house today to sit with her and they all said a few prayers together. It’s just a matter of when."

It’s terrible that Jade’s boy will lose their mother at such a young age. Just terrible.

Jade Goody Goes Home to Die

Hollywood Grind — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 18:00:13 +0000

On Wednesday Jade Goody was released from the hospital so she can die from cancer at home surrounded by family. Jade’s publicist, Max Clifford, said:

"She’s just left, I mean literally half an hour ago. She’s on her way home and she’s in an ambulance with a nurse from the Marsden and Jack went in to see her and basically they’re on their way back to their home in Essex which is obviously something that she was desperately keen to do. The whole point is that she wants to spend as much time as she can with Jack and the boys. Jack’s with her, her mum’s coming over, they’ll be close friends around her because she’s got a lot of very good and very close friends."

It was difficult for Jade to spend time with her husband Jack Tweed, but all that’s changed. Jack’s curfew has been modified so he can spend Thursday, Saturday and Sunday nights with Jade at her home. Jack is monitored with an ankle bracelet.

We’re keeping you in our thoughts Jade.

Jade Goody Hammer Attacker a Religious Nut

Hollywood Grind — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 20:16:09 +0000

The woman who allegedly attacked Jade Goody with a hammer, was actually wielding a judge’s gavel not a hammer, and she wasn’t attacking her, she was rubbing her arm and murmuring prayers. She’s still a whacko, just not a whacko with a hammer. Jade’s publicist, Max Clifford, said Jade will not be pressing criminal charges against the woman:

"There will not be any charges. Jade is more aware now about what happened and when I spoke to her this morning and she said ”I’m sure the women didn’t mean me any harm."

With the worldwide attention Jade has received as a result of her terminal cancer, whackos from everywhere are coming out of the woodwork, even Jacko himself called Jade. In response the hospital has increased security.

As Jade’s health worsen’s she is now reportedly going blind, and wants to be released from the hospital so she can die at home with her sons, and family. Her publicist said:

"It means so much to her to be close to the boys. She’s hoping she’ll be able to go home in the next few days if the nurses can look after her there."

Grant Jade her dying wish. We’re sending positive energy your way Jade, for you, and your family.

Jade Goody Hammer Attack in the Hospital

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 20:13:13 +0000

Jade Goody (27), who is terminally ill with cancer, was shocked on Sunday afternoon when a female intruder wielding a hammer confronted the her in her hospital room in London’s Royal Marsden hospital.

Jack Tweed, Jade’s new husband, had just taken a break from sitting with her when the woman with the hammer entered Jade’s room. The woman was later arrested, then released "on the advice of lawyers." Huh? Why?

Jade and her sons had just been baptized the day before.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said:

"Police were called on Sunday and arrested a woman in possession of an offensive weapon. She was taken into custody at a west London police station. Following the advice of Crown Prosecution Service the 41-year-old woman was release with no further action."

Offensive weapon? How about lethal weapon. Was it a real hammer or a toy? Why did they let the woman go without getting a psychiatric evaluation first?

After the hammer incident Jade received a call from Michael Jackson, but she missed it because she was sleeping. Jade’s rep said:

"He called [Michael Jackson] to say I’m thinking of you. Jermaine’s told me all about you, and you are all over the media in America.’"

"He said he hoped she could come and see the show while he is London. It was lovely. She said to me, ’Who would have thought it?’ But I told her you have started to realize, Jade, it’s gone all over the world. It was great for her spirits."

Despite all the incredible difficulty terminal illness brings, Jade has shown she has real courage, and is setting a great example for her sons, plus making some money so they will be cared for when she is gone.

Jade Goody Only Has Weeks to Live

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 04:36:02 +0000

A friend of Jade Goody says her cervical cancer has spread to her brain, and doctors have told her she has only weeks to live:

“Jade was told while in a hospice at the weekend that the cancer was travelling freely in her blood and had spread to her brain. This is, of course, awful but not unexpected. She has already been told the disease is terminal. But by understanding how it is travelling in her body, the doctors have a chance of giving her the right medication to control the pain. This hasn’t shortened her life expectancy, which remains at weeks. But of course it is another extremely painful reminder of what lies ahead. Jade still wants to go home, but won’t until she can be given the correct medication to make her condition bearable. She doesn’t want to see her kids upset.”

We’ve seen Jade on her worst behavior, but we can’t help but feel sorry for the pain and suffering her sons, and family must be experiencing, in addition to Jade’s own pain. We hope Jade passes peacefully, and painlessly.

Terminally ill with cancer Jade Goody married her boyfriend Jack Tweed. After the wedding Jade said:

Our hearts go out to Jade’s family, especially to Jade’s sons Freddy Goody (4) and Bobby Goody (5).

Jade Goody Cancer Fight Longer Than Expected

Hollywood Grind — Thu, 25 Sep 2008 15:04:10 +0000

Jade Goody, who has stage 3 cervical cancer that has metastasized, was told her chemotherapy will last about a year, rather than a few months. Doctors give her a 50/50 chance to survive.

Jade is understandably concerned she won’t be there while her children grow up.

Very sad. Stay strong Jade.

Jade Goody Has Stage 3 Cervical Cancer

Hollywood Grind — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 07:19:04 +0000

Jade Goody (27) underwent and 8 hour hysterectomy, which found that her cervical cancer had spread to a muscle behind her uterus. Doctors say Goody’s cancer is at stage III. Before surgery doctors said the cancer had a 95% chance of remission, however, now they have dropped expectations to 50%.

Her publicist Max Clifford said after the operation Goody will remain in intensive care for 24 hours, after which doctors will tell her the bad news. Doctors now says Goody will need to undergo a nine-week course of radiotherapy and chemotherapy to eradicate any remaining cancer cells.

The one small bit of good news is that surgeons left Goody’s ovaries intact so she won’t go into menopause following her hysterectomy.

Get well soon Jade. Stay strong for your kids. This is really heartbreaking.
