Lets Get This Party Started
For Swayze, Show Goes On

Patrick SwayzeEven though Patrick Swayze is battling pancreatic cancer, his latest TV project is still in contention for a pick-up by its network.

A&E says that "The Beast," which stars Swayze as what's described by the AP as "an unorthodox FBI agent," is "being considered" by the network and could become a regular series. If that's the case, Swayze's rep says that Patrick wants to stay on the show.

The actor's doctor says that he's "optimistic" about his prognosis, but the reality of course is that less than five percent of pancreatic cancer patients survive more than five years after diagnosis.

Jamie Lynn – Back on TV So Soon?


Could Jamie Lynn Spears be back on TV before she has her baby?

People reports that J-Lynn will be appearing on a new ABC comedy called "Miss Guided" in a guest spot. Of course, she'll be playing a "troubled student who gets some exciting news from college," not unlike Lil' Spears, who just got her GED – and is reportedly looking to go to college.

The show was shot before she announced her pregnancy, but, at least given the timing, after she got knocked up.

8. Apparently "family values" means nothing when it comes to ratings. Miss Spears has "let down" millions of young girls who have looked up to her. Her recent pregnancy should be cause enough for her show to let her go, she's sending out the wrong message and the TV stations need to put their foot down and start reeling in their young, out of control actors/actresses. It seems bad manners, teen pregnancy and violence are the norm now, what a sad state of affairs.

My heart does go out to Patrick and his loved ones. pancreatic cancer is a horrible disease. My uncle died from it and now a friend of my husband's is fighting for his life due to it.

11. Patrick Swayze has always seemed to be a nice, polite, respectful man...a real class act...so rare in the entertainment industry today.

12. Is there a reason why TMZ writers, presumptive adults, are constantly hurling insults at Jamie Lynn Spears, a minor child? Your comments about her speak volumes about yourselves.

13. I was very upset when I heard this about Mr. Swayze. But given great advances in medicine along with Mr. Swayze's star power maybe we can bring attention to this cancer and bring in more efforts for a cure. I am very optimistic this morning, I heard this may have been caught early and his Doctor said he does not have only 5 weeks and Swayze still plans on working. My prayers to Patrick and his beautiful wife along with his family ,friends and fans. She's like the wind, download today....

14. Oh shut your pie hole, Carolyn (Abernathy).....that's what we do here, run people down.....you got a problem with that.....go somewhere else, so your finer senses will not be insulted. SHEESH!
