Jade Goody’s Last Mother’s Day
JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with the OK! memorial, Mother’s Day cards and an up-beat Shilpa.
The Mirror: “DEAR MUMMY – Jade’s boys make a poignant card for Mother’s Day”
Jade Goody’s young sons have made her cards for Mother’s Day – touchingly unaware they may never see her alive again.
Unless they read the Mirror.
Jade’s battle has seen the nation take her to its hearts – and may also save thousands of young women’s lives by raising awareness of cervical cancer.
Yesterday, 50 campaigners handed a petition to Downing Street demanding the age for regular smear tests be lowered from 25 to 20, a crusade the courageous star has backed.
Is Jade Goody now a hero for dying?
Its leader Bob Walker, who lost daughter Claire, 23, to the disease six months ago, warmly welcomed Jade’s support and said: “I’m not worried about her celebrity status. She’s a young woman dying at such an early age and leaving two boys behind and that’s what matters. It shouldn’t have to happen to any woman.”
So it’s not about Jade, eh, Max?
Her spokesman Max Clifford added: “She was there in spirit. If she was well enough she would have been there in person. She wanted to hand the petition in herself.
“Jade has been very vocal because of what has happened to her. Her message is, ‘Don’t let what happened to me happen to you’.
Daily Star: “The family pics I m taking to my grave”
Pictures will will never see.
THIS is one happy family snap that tragic Jade Goody will take to her grave.
Apart from that one. And apart from those other ones that will appear in her cancer diary.
Daily Mirror: “Pick of the day: Wendy Richard: To Tell You The Truth, BBC1, 8pm”
She embarked on this documentary in November 2008. Her style may have been different to that of Jade Goody, but by showing the realities of her chemo she planned to be a beacon of hope to anyone watching…
Fact and fiction - can you spot the difference?
“You must never give in,” she tells Natalie Cassidy, who played her screen daughter-in-law Sonia. “You’ve got to fight.”
Her death last month left those who knew her saddened and shocked. Because, as her screen son James Alexandrou reminds her, half joking: “If I was cancer, I’d be scared of you.”
The Sun: “Fury as mag kills off battling Jade Goody”
See: OK! Pronounces Jade Goody Dead
Fury – always the fury.
Furious fans vowed to boycott OK! — and some called for the edition to be withdrawn and editor Lisa Byrne sacked…
Among angry emails to The Sun, one from Donna Morton said: “I am horrified. Heads should roll.”
It’s the OK! Taliban.
Belfast Telegraph: “Magazine defends Jade Goody tribute edition”
In a statement, the magazine said: “OK!’s tribute issue is a celebration of Jade’s amazing life.
“Jade’s family have spoken to OK! today to reiterate that they understand the tribute issue and view it as being very kind to Jade.
“They would like to also state that they are extremely grateful for the support that OK! has provided during this distressing period.”
The List: Stand-up Jay Lafferty is appearing on stage.
Despite the show title and her mention of reality TV, don’t expect much material on the celebrity currently dying before our very eyes. ‘I don’t do Jade Goody jokes and I never have, though it’s not been a conscious thing. I did take the piss out of Britney Spears’ breakdown. But especially in a solo show I wouldn’t want to upset the audience and have them walk out when I’ve still got 55 minutes to go.’
Masala: “I’m happy I couldn’t see Jade: Shilpa Shetty”
And she missed Natasha Richardson, too. How’s that for unlucky.
“I am happy in a way, I haven’t got to see her (Jade), it would’ve depressed me to no end. I always want to remember her smiling, the feisty, strong, gregarious Jade, a true trooper!” Shilpa said on her blog shilpashettylive.com.
Shilpa had rushed to London on Sunday to meet Jade Goody, but was unable to see the ailing star.
“In the current scenario I totally understand what the family must be going through and I respect their privacy and hope she and her family are able to cope with this pain. You are in my prayers, Jade. You are destiny’s child,” she added.
Jade Goody is not dead.

I think the word to FIGHT cancer gives people hope, if your feeling fine yet have this horrible disease its easy to be optimistic, however when the disease takes hold you will probably still not believe the inevitable, who would nobody wants to die!!!
I think Jade has tried to keep her life as normal as possible probably in denial, and who can blame her, NO im not a big fan of hers but she does not deserve this as does everyone else who unfortunately succumbs to this awful disease!!!
June I have every sympathy for your mum and hope she recovers and gets well soon, however I stick by my backing of Jade, I understand your slaying the media, however people have been slaying a dying woman also.

Sue you are right. Goody was a willing pawn of the celebrity culture. Pawn is the operative word. Once she is off the board she will be forgotten. So for the sake of satire, let’s get it in whilst we can.
March 20th, 2009 at 1:09 pm
Yeah. OK! magazine can say want they want about ‘being very kind to Jade’ when actually everyone I know (I work in a big office - 7 floors, 500 odd people) were just flabbergasted at the 1981 - 2009 banner when the poor girl hasn’t even gone - it’s the tackiest display of greed and poor taste I’ve seen and I haven’t bought the magazine (or will, again) on principle. What a knife in the back to the person who’s given them multitudes of magazine sales already. The sick heads at OK! should roll. (Let’s make THAT a reality show). Jade may have been a willing pawn of the reality culture and used it to her own gain but I’m sure even she could not have predicted this treatment. It’s all very sad.

i bough the issue and was amazed and disgusted at OK magazine ,
jade is still alive , its all about getting their first and the cash
and yes i do beleive Jade has had an amazing life i have been a huge fan since bb3
keep fighting jade your a star

“In a statement, the magazine said: “OK!’s tribute issue is a celebration of Jade’s amazing life”
Now that’s my favourite bit. Especially the amazing life bit. Fuck me never realised it was amazing to have an old man who dies on a public bog of a drugs OD, a mum, well we all saw her mum on CBB, a total twat of a wannabe kids entertainer as the sperm donor for her boys, and oh yeah, Jack Tweed. Well what a model citizen he is. No wonder jack Straw wants to hang out with him so much; they have a ’special’ relationship.
So yeah, which part of that is ‘amazing’?
Famous for being a loser……
March 19th, 2009 at 4:16 pm
hi Everyone can i just say stop puting jade down and saying she is going to die God will take her in his own time we just don.t know yet.she has a big Heart and a Big Smile for her boys and Tweed too.
Ruth.x
keep on Fighting Jade Good.

It sends me crackers also PeterMac…. its almost as if its your own lazy fault if you die because you just couldn’t be arsed to fight it!
and yes, if a child dies it was always ‘an angel’ or ’so beautiful’ or ‘destined to be a high flyer’ as if the not so gorgeous, not so bright, naughty child is deserving of its fate.
I guess thats why the media have had to make Jade G a saint in order to justify their relentless coverage of every last everything.
Same as Natasha Richardson hasn’t really died as a result of a skiing accident… its ‘The Curse of the Redgraves’.
aarrgghh I may just have to go and lie down in a darkened room!

Petermac
A relative always maintained that established cancer can kill at any time, and the treatment could also kill - he was a doctor- and two years ago he was diagnosed with liver cancer and died two months later.
I wouldn’t have said he lacked moral fibre either, as he helped raise his dead daughter’s two young children after she died of cancer seven years after diagnosis.
I agree it is a very strange term

Enjoy your drag Percy.
I’ve just got two of them left to haul me around, I lost one of my boys last Friday….
March 19th, 2009 at 9:09 am
I’m not dying dear Chenier…its the dog thats dying…….. to do his duty…The Great Poo in the Privet awaits us all one day….Good Morning to you too…and Goodbye
March 19th, 2009 at 9:08 am
Why are people always said to “Fight” cancer. They have the disease, and the treatment is either successful or not. To die of cancer seems to imply that you were not strong enough, lacked moral courage, or whatever.
You don’t ‘fight’ a heart problem, or tuberculosis, or measles. So why is this particular vocabulary always used.
I find these specific vocabularies rather odd. The only children who are ever described by vicars as having a “Real Zest for Life” are dead. Living children are just normal.

It’s the dog urging Percy on to the great Walkies in the sky that brings a tear to my eye,,,
March 19th, 2009 at 8:51 am
