Gossip Roundup

Madonna is up and full of beans again. Not only is she on her Sticky & Sweat tour, toying with ARod, and doing some Brazilian model named Jesus Luz (people have commented that the lad looks like he's hand tons of PS, but who in Brazil hasn't? It was Brazilian plastic surgeons who invented that technique for stitching women's privates back together after years of hi activity, so that they could pass for as virgins, or close enough, on their wedding nights). She's also released some 'old nude pix' of herself. She's determined to prove that she still got it. However are the released photos 'old pix of a nude', or "pix pf an old nude'. Ewwwwww! I hate to say it, but this isn't the kind of economy where you can unload those things easy. Madonna will also be participating in the FTI Winter Equestrian Event in Florida. No word on whether she'll be in the saddle, or wearing it.

Apple's Steve Jobs is gonna be leaving his position for a while due to ill health. Now Jobs was diagnosed once with pancreatic cancer - but has held that at bay for 5 years. Now he's gonna be taking some time off for a liver transplant. Maybe one of his celeb friends could help him out? I hear that Larry Hagman has several spares that he's not using at the moment.

Speaking of pancreatic cancer, Patrick Swayze continues to beat the odds. He's been fighting cancer for a while now with the help of a combo if traditional medicine, natural remedies, a positive attitude, and 2 to 3 packs of cigarettes a day! he was recently admitted to the hospital suffering from pneumonia, but has bounced back once, more, and been released to continue with his A&E TV work.

Things have gone from bad to worse for mercury victim Jeremy Piven. He bailed out on Speed the Plow by David Mamet. Though he is reputed to have said on his final might on stage "This is the first time of enjoyed doing this thing", he still insists that he's sick I tell ya, and that the dog ate his lines! Mamet isn't pleased, and told Piven he could shove it, in his own witty way, and with reference to thermometers. Piven then went on TV with Diane Sawyer and insisted that he has only the up most respect for Mamet and the great institution of Broadway theater. No one was buying it though (much like no one's buying tockets to Speed the Plow anymore). Now Pivers will get another chance to prove he means it - because Equity is in on the act (no pun intended). I'm surprised that Pivers can't get people to believe him - you'd think that he wasn't much of an actor. However I'd put the blame on script problems. That excuse wasn't anything that I'd wrap fish in!
