Sunday Mirror: ““Find time for your kids now..or regret it later, By Fiona McIntosh”

Natasha Richardson’s death at 45 reminds us all how fragile life is. It could happen to any of us at any time.

It’s something Jade Goody’s mum Jackiey knows only too well as she nurses her girl through the last days, possibly even hours, of her life.

Jade Goody Number Plate For Sale And Jade’s Burial Plot Busy

JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with Jade’s num,ber plate, no room at the plot and nurse rage…

Press Association: “Nurse car vandalised at Goody home”

Police have been called to the home of Jade Goody after a car belonging to a nurse caring for the terminally-ill reality TV star was damaged, apparently by vandals.

Officers said they were called shortly before 7am and told a Toyota Yaris parked outside Goody’s home in Upshire, Essex had been dented and had a window smashed.

Fore!

Witnesses said the car belonged to a Marie Curie nurse who was looking after Goody.

Sify: “No room in cemetery for dying Jade Goody”

Cancer-stricken British reality TV star Jade Goody’s wish to be buried in a flower-filled churchyard near her home after her death has been dashed because of lack of space in the cemetery.

The Big Brother star had requested a plot at St John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex. But it has now emerged that the graveyard is already full…

“Unfortunately St John’s is full, so she cannot be buried there. All the parties will be trying to arrange (a place) close by,” said Goody’s publicist Max Clifford.

Can’t someone be moved? It’s for Jade, after all… Tsk!

This Is Bristol: “Builder’s ‘J Goody’ number plates to raise cash for star’s sons”

A builder from Downend is selling his personalised “J Goody” number plates to raise money for terminally ill Jade Goody’s children.

Jason Goodfield, 22, bought the J600 DYY plates five years ago for £250 because his nickname is Goody.

Anyone else see J Goody?

He has now put them up for sale on an internet auction site with a reserve price of £10,000, and will donate half the cash to the Big Brother star’s two sons.

Number plates – see: Big Brother’s Jade Goody Goes To Jail – Like Paris Hilton.

Jason, who is engaged with an 8-month-old son called Jake, said: “I have been reading about Jade’s battle with cancer and I recently had a little boy myself, so I feel really sorry for her kids being left without a mum at such a young age. Hopefully this money will help them out a bit.”

Jade Goody is alive…

Westboro Baptist Church Curses Natasha Richardson

NATASHA Richardson has died. Now for the story, the sentimentality and hearing from the vested interest groups…

The Sun – Lorraine Kelly: “Tragic Natasha wasn’t even able to say goodbye”

A MOTHER of two young sons died this week in a tragedy that should never have happened.

Where, Lorraine, where..?

But this wasn’t the sadly inevitable death of poor Jade Goody, who could perhaps have beaten cervical cancer if it had been caught and treated in time. No. This was the truly shocking demise of Natasha Richardson, beloved wife of Liam Neeson, who was fatally injured in a skiing accident.

Jade. Richardson. Cancer on skis!

Jade Goody’s Dying Wish

JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with Jade’s miracle, exclusive cancer and we are all Jack Tweed now…

Daily Star: “MOTHER’S DAY MIRACLE FOR JADE – Brave last fight to see her boys”

A miracle needs a miracle worker – and here she is.

TRAGIC Jade Goody is desperate to live long enough to treat her boys to a Mother’s Day “miracle”. She dreams of one final happy day tomorrow with Bobby, five, and Freddy, four, before she dies.

The terminally-ill young mum has told her family: “I want them to have happy memories of me and to wish them a proper goodbye.” It is this burning wish that has driven her to summon up her fading strength to defy death a little longer.

Daily Mirror: “Jade fights to see final Mum’s Day”

This story is labelled “EXCLUSIVE CANCER.”

Jade Goody’s Greek Miracle Worker

JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with Natasha Richardson and Greek star Efi Thodi…

Daily Telegraph – Simon Heffer: “Natasha Richardson: Death is a tragedy, not a showbiz spectacle”

I know our media can be tasteless in these matters, but in America celebrity death is larded with a peculiarly disgusting hypocrisy, seen as a perfectly fair means to pursue ratings. The next morning my stomach was barely strong enough to cope with the sight of a glammed-up showbiz reporter, on one of the breakfast television shows, standing right outside Liam Neeson’s house and retailing, with a straight face, how the family wished its privacy to be respected at this “difficult” time.

Jade Goody Picks Her Grave

JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with Jade’s grave, Natasha Richardson and Kerry Katona…

Jade Goody is only on one of the newspaper’s front pages (Daily Star), her celebrity cancer usurped by the sudden death for actress Natasha Richardson.

Daily Star: “Jade’s Final Resting Place”

Her last appearance.

After, Jade’s last interview, Jade’s last wedding, Jade’s last dress, Jade’s last fight, Jade’s last slice of toast, Jade’s last Christening, Jade’s last party, Jade’s Last Rites; Jade’s last view, Jade’s last breath and Jade’s last Mother’s Day.

This will be the final resting place for Jade Goody – a flower-filled churchyard that echoes to the sound of happy playing children.

Anyone of you been to a churchyard echoing to the sound of anything but grumbling old ladies and emptiness?

The tranquil graveyard, which is expected to become a place where fans can pay their respects to the reality TV star, sits next to the local Church of England School.

Jade Goody’s Words For Natasha Richardson

JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with Michael White…

Jade Goody is dying and it’s is the media’s job to comment on it. Writing in the Guardian, Michael White criticises the mawkish tabloid coverage while playing a game of Tabloid Bingo!:

Under the headline: “Growing mood of public sentimentality worries me more than recession”

Different things trouble different people. I’m more worried by the recession and by global warming than by street crime, about which I can take sensible micro-precautions if I feel like it.

Jade Goody’s Last Mother’s Day

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.

Natasha Richardson Talk And Deteriorate

WE interrupt this transmission of CCN (the web’s rolling Celebrity Cancer News channel – Jade Goody special tonite) to bring news of Natasha Richardson, the actress, who has been diagnosed by a doctor on the telly as suffering from “talk and deteriorate“, possibly.

Dr Steven Flanagan, director of Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine at New York University, tells FoxNews.com.

“I can only speculate, but… what this implies is that someone hits their head and they are seemingly OK initially. Then they get a rapid collection of blood – usually called epidural haemorrhage – and that means bleeding between the skull and the brain.”

Jade Goody Writes Cancer Book

JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with the last party, still no Shilpa Shetty and …

Daily Mirror: “Jack’s Her Rock”

Surely if anyone is the pumice-like Paul Burrell to Jade’s Diana it is Max Clifford. Jack would be… Dodi?

Supporters gathered outside Jade’s house yesterday. Jenny Berk, 23, from Upshire, said: “I know we can’t make a difference but we just wanted to show we care by making the effort to be here. We are just hoping and praying for a miracle.”

Our Maid Of Hearts.

Meanwhile, publisher Harper Collins revealed that the third and final instalment of Jade’s autobiography will be called Forever In My Heart.

The Sun: “One last party”

See:

Jade’s last interview, Jade’s last wedding, Jade’s last dress, Jade’s last fight, Jade’s last slice of toast, Jade’s last Christening, Jade’s last party, Jade’s Last Rites; Jade’s last view and Jade’s last breath.

Make that one more last party…

She shouted on Monday evening: “Everyone go and get ready — we’ll have one big last party tonight. Can everyone please put a big f*****g smile on their face! Mum — you’re gonna need more make-up!”

The Mail:

She has barely regained consciousness since falling into a deep sleep on Sunday evening and remains heavily sedated, according to friends…

Waking to shout and swear about a paaaarrrrty?

Her publicist Max Clifford said: “She’s been sleeping. I understand that will get deeper.”

Sky News: “Jade Signs Cancer Battle Book Deal”

Jade Goody’s final months as she battled with terminal cancer are to be detailed in a new book.

The book, entitled “Forever in My Heart”, is described by publishers as a “modern day parable”. It will be written as a “love letter” to Goody’s two young sons, Bobby, five and Freddie, four.

Written by whom? Who loves the boys as much as their mum?

Belinda Budge, the managing director of HarperNon-Fiction said: “This is Jade in her own words. It is impossible not to be moved by her heart-warming voice which comes through loud and clear on every page of this last diary. This emotional book tells a fascinating story of our time, a story of a woman who rose to fame as a controversial reality TV star and has now won admiration in the eyes of many for the fortitude with which she is facing terminal cancer.”

Jade Goody did not choose to get ill with cancer; just as Princess Diana did not choose to die in a car crash. Diana didn’t buckle up. Jade is a victim of hard luck.

Daily Star: “JADE: SHILPA JETS IN TO SAY GOODBYE”

Bollywood babe Shilpa Shetty has dashed thousands of miles to the UK to keep her promise to say goodbye to her friend Jade Goody.

The star, who has forgiven Jade, 27, for race jibes including her “Shilpa Poppadom” quip, confessed yesterday: “I really feel terrible about what has happened to her.

“All I can do is pray. I’m not giving up hope of seeing her one last time.”

The quip that led to Jade leaving the Big Brother house under a blanket in the dead of night? Here comes “Shilpa F**kawallah“.

Masala.com: “Jade Goody too ill for last goodbye”

OK!: “Jade’s Early Mother’s Day”

Sons gathering around their moms on Mother’s Day is a common and much-loved family tradition.

Unless you have daughter, or grown-up sons who forget, or – as Jeremy Kyle shows – are on drugs or glue or in jail…

When Freddy asked his mom why she looked so drowsy, Jade replied, “Because the angels are calling for Mommy.”

Stv.tv: “Jade ordeal could help kids grieve”

The plight of Jade Goody, the terminally ill reality TV star, has highlighted the need to help children prepare for the death of a loved one, according to a psychologist.

Show me the money!

Cynthia McVey, head of psychology at Glasgow Caledonian University, thinks that her tragic and very public demise could result in more being done to aid children through the grieving process.

“She’s done a great deal I think in many ways in helping people realise that you can prepare children for somebody dying,” said McVey.

See headlines such as “I’d don’t want the boys to know”; “The boys can’t know I’m dying”; and “I can’t tell the boys”.

Amy Winehouse Serenades Jade Goody

AMY Winehouse has been away. No, not collared by the Celebrity Police Service. Winehouse has been away in the Caribbean.

While you were watching Jade Goody, Winehouse returned to Blighty, to shows Brits what we’ve been missing by pleading not guilty to assaulting a dancer called Sherene Flash in central London last year.

It is rumoured that after the alleged offence, Wino did then fall to the floor performing her trademark impression of a hairdressing junior’s sweepings and screamed Blaaaaake.

Winehouse appeared at Westminster magistrates court to deny the charge. The press looks at the case of Amy Jade Civil. She pleads: not guilty.
