Sadly, actress Farrah Fawcett has decided to end her cancer treatment as she has reached final stages of the disease.

It is reported that her father has flown in to say goodbye, and her son was briefly released from jail to visit with her. Actor Ryan O’Neal told People magazine that Farrah appears to be facing the last days of her life. She is only 62 and has been battling anal and liver cancer for some time.

As is always the case with this sort of thing we extend our warm thoughts to Farrah and thoes who love her.

Iconic Wolverine hottie Hugh Jackman is turning his attention to in-demand comic author/artist Doug TenNapel, setting the wheels in motion to produce Ghostopolis through his production company Seed Prods., which he co-owns with wife Deborra-Lee Furness. Production company Gotham Group will also be involved.

Reuters describes the Ghostopolis plot as:

The story centers on a man who works for the government’s Supernatural Immigration Task Force. His job is to send ghosts who have escaped into our world back to Ghostopolis. When a living boy accidentally is sent to the other side, the agent must team with a female ghost (and former flame) to bring him back. (source)

Ghostopolis is the latest endeavour for Jackman, who is also involved in production of several other comic books and graphic novels, including Virgin Comics’s Nowhere Man.

Even before the release of New Moon, the Twilight franchise is giving birth to a brand new sequel: TwiCon, a convention by and for fans of the Twilight book & film series.

The event will be held between July 30 - August 2 in Dallas, TX. No word yet about whether or not hunky vampire heartthrob Robert Pattinson will be in attendance, or indeed who the convention’s guest list will include.

Meanwhile, further firm denials have emerged that Robert Pattinson is not dating his on-screen partner Kristen Stewart. We’re sure this confirmation would have TwiCon booked solid with starry-eyed, eligible, indefinitely hopeful women if a Pattinson appearance was announced…

As the rest of her castmates wax poetic about Nicollette Sheridan and the experience of working with her on Desperate Housewives, Nicollette herself isn’t sorry to be leaving Wisteria Lane behind.

The actress told TV Guide, “When the show started it was such a different beast. It was exciting and dangerous and funny and edgy and bizarre. It started feeling a little complacent, and that was very frustrating.”

She goes on to say that when told of the fact that she was being cut from the show, she said “OK, sayonara. It’s been a great ride. Thank you.”

But she had more than a few harsh words for the show’s creator, Marc Cherry. “[Killing off Edie] was a risky decision that could have devastating ramifications. Somebody up there really wanted her dead. I think whoever Edie represented in Marc’s life was somebody he didn’t like. And he had a very difficult time distinguishing between fact and fiction.”

Marc fired back, “Edie’s already slept with most of the guys on the street and has caused about as many problems as she could.”

For once the latest buzz about astonishing weight loss hasn’t been generated by the anorexic looks of “stars” like Nicole Richie. Sadly, the world is talking about Patrick Swayze’s frightening weight loss, as portrayed by a photo on the cover of the latest National Enquirer. We say “portrayed” because it’s unknown how much, if any, photo editing was done.

The tabloid reports that in the process of battling pancreatic cancer the once heartthrob actor/dancer is down to 105 pounds. The extent of his continued role on his A&E show The Beast is now unclear, for reasons that become obvious when you see the photo below - and consider the living hell that is fighting this particularly horrific cancer.

Zac Efron recently joined the pantheon of stars filming for the web site FunnyorDie.com. His contribution is a sketch about his uncle crashing a pool party. Nothing that comes down the Funny or Die highway will ever be as brilliant as Will Ferrell’s smash hit “Pearl the Landlord”, but did Zac do a good job being at all funny? You decide.
