Say It Ain't So!

Worst news ever. Over the past few months, there's been a few stories about Paul Newman fighting cancer. Last March, he denied the claims. The L.A. Times' Dish Rag now reports that 83-year-old Paul has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Paul is a known former chain-smoker.

Paul is reportedly receiving outpatient treatment at the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.

There's been no confirmation from the hospital or Paul's people.

Not Paul! Who's going to make us delicious lemonade? Let's just choose to believe this is an awful rumor. We should all think good thoughts over a huge bowl of Newman's Own popcorn.

UPDATE: Paul's rep told E! that the story is "not true." I believe him. Paul Newman cannot tell a lie.

Thanks Marissa

Paul there are so many reasons to love you. You are a great actor, humanitarian, husband. You care about others than your self and you are sexy ass hell. What is even more astounding is to find all of these attributes in someone that is famous. Famous people are usually egotistical and self absorbed.

Damn, that man was FINE when he was a youngster. Jeebus. Josh Lucas wishes he looked this good (although I do admit he does bear a strong resemblance to Newman).

I hope the cancer rumors are unfounded -- I don't like to think of him suffering at all. He should go gently, if at all. Be well, Paul.

Khrist MK. I just love that picture of Paul. I sure hope it's all just a bad rumour. What a shit-tastic way to die. (worked oncology in a previous life)

Those blue eyes are just entrancing. "The Hustler", "Cool Hand Luke", "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" re my faves. But all around, inside and out, what a beautiful man.

All the best Mr. Paul Newman. We won't see the likes of you again. Great actor, great humanitarian, last of the true movie stars.

This picture is just pure sex. Even now he's a good looking old man. God bless him. Not only is his line of food helping others, but his "Hole in the Wall" camp for poor city kids teaches them about acting and the theatre. Gets them off the streets and out of trouble. Paul , your one in a million!!!!

Ailing Paul Newman Turns Over $120m To Charity

Movie star Paul Newman has quietly turned over the entire value of his ownership in Newman’s Own — the company that makes salad dressing and cookies — to charity.

Completed over a two-year period in 2005 and 2006, the amount of his donations to Newman’s Own Foundation Inc. comes to an astounding $120 million.

seriously, is there a straight woman who didn't think naughty thoughts and DO naughty things to their no-no holes to Newman in cat on a hot tin roof?

And mrs. K--shush! You're ruining Steve McQueen for me! (I'm totally convinced that is why I adore DC so much--its the mcqueen factor. I've always loved him)

I LOVED him in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with Liz calling her nephews and nieces "No Neck Children"

That is one hot picture of him. I love, love, love Paul Newman and hope that the denial is true. He's one of a kind and a great man.

Rep Shoots Down Paul Newman Cancer Reports
Today 12:05 PM PDT by Marcus Errico

AP Photo/Jim Cooper
Paul Newman is not at death's door, thank you very much.

The Hollywood icon's agent, Toni Howard, tells E! News a slew of gossip reports claiming Newman was terminally ill with lung cancer are "not true."

The reports began in earnest late last month, when Newman backed out as director of Our Town at the playhouse in his hometown of Westport, Conn., citing an unspecified illness.

Several tabloids pounced on the news as evidence of a dire condition. Subsequent photos of a seemingly gaunt-looking Newman at a recent charity event, posted last Friday on Martha Stewart's blog, has added fuel to the speculation, which was even picked up by the Los Angeles Times' gossip blog.

The 83-year-old Oscar winner announced last year that he was ending his acting career after 50 years.

Newman and his wife are truly great humanitarians. The have donated tons to charitable organizations and have done it in a very classy, low keyed and dignified way. As donations all should be done!
