Back To Work

Filed under: Patrick Swayze

wenn867660__opt.jpg

His doctors have given him the go-ahead….

A&E has picked up his show….

And, now, Patrick Swayze is set to begin production on his new TV show, The Beast.

"We’re very excited to begin series production on ‘The Beast’ and even more thrilled to have Patrick on board reprising the role he played so powerfully in the pilot opposite Travis, who is certainly an emerging talent in his own right,” Bob DiBitetto, executive VP and general manager of A&E Network, said in a statement.

The network said Mr. Swayze "has responded well to treatment and his doctors have given him
the go-ahead to resume working."

Patrick was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year.

    Please join me in a Pride Week Activity: A COMMENT BAN on Perez Hilton’s site Monday through Friday, January 9 through 13.
    My purpose for organizing this is to show him that his ‘public’ is powerful, and that his success is in OUR control. He needs to knock off his forcible outing of people just because they have a “gay face” or he decides they are “acting gay”. Don’t know why, but Perez writes ‘gay face’ all the time with little backlash. But when Leno said it , Perez was outraged, as was the gay community. Jay Leno probably picked up that term from reading Perez’ site.
    Support this effort by NOT POSTING COMMENTS on January 9 through 13. Better yet, don’t visit this site from Monday through Friday. But if you can’t resist visiting, please resist posting COMMENTS.

    What? A drama-free and scandal-free celebrity? And a guy who loves his wife and who has been married forever? Take a lesson celebrities - there is a good hit among you and we all should be cheering this man on in his battle. Hood for him and his family!

    Thanks Perez - we need more good stories! Love you!

    Amazing! Pancreatic cancer is literally a death sentence 3 mo post diagnosis. If he beats this, I just hope that people really understand what that means…

    Why does he bother? The fucktard will be dead anway in 6 weeks tops. He should spend the rest of his days fucking skanky whores and enjoying some hot fist fucking activities while drinking hot cum out of tight snatches with a straw. He should also try fucking farm animals too, just to say he did it all in his life. I'd be happy to shit in his face. Its the least I could do for the old Dirty Dancer. This is what he gets for chopping Jennifer Gray's nose off and shoving it up his anus. Happy Saturday! Xoxoxox :) Carlie Gurl from North Long Beach

    Dear El Rey,
    Who gives a rat's ass fuck about your dead fucking whore of a grandmother? I'm glad the old bitch died. I hope you're next.

    WONDERFUL, PATRICK. WE ARE ALL PRAYING FOR YOU. I AGREE, MANY CELEBRITIES COULD TAKE LESSONS FROM YOU ON HOW TO LIVE A DECENT LIFE IN THE SPOTLIGHT. I HOPE YOU BEAT THIS DISEASE AND GO ON TO HAVE A FRUITFUL LIFE. THERE ARE ALWAYS MIRACLES, LOOK AT LANCE ARMSTRONG, HE HAD STAGE FOUR CANCER AND HE'S THANKFULLY PAST TEN YEARS IN REMISSION. WE LOVE YOU, PATRICK, BE WELL AND MUCH SUCCESS.

    P.S. CARLIE GURL FROM LONG BEACH, YOU'RE A MISERABLE PIECE OF SHIT.

    Finally, some good news amongst all the crappy news of late. Interesting how all the rag sheets practically have him dead and buried. Patrick, you rock!! Best wishes to you for a long and healthy life with your beautiful wife.

    Perez/Mario, you need someone to moderate these comments or your website won't be worth much. Comments like Carlie's do not add; they subtract.

    P.S. Go for it Swayze!

    That's really great news to hear. He seems like such a normal, down-to-earth kind of guy in his interviews. I really hope he fully recovers, and stays healthy for years to come.

    Re: amanda – Stupid bitch, it's her own damn fault for not being able to afford the treatments. That's what she gets for having a $6 an hour job at the Winn Dixie. xooxox :) Happy Saturday you fuckheads.

  47. LeBon says – reply to this
    47

    That's good to hear. He needs to stay positive and active.

    What's scary is my mother had pancreatic cancer and looking at this photo of Swayze I can see the same look in his eyes that she had. It's hard to describe but it's unmistakable.

    Re: lissal – Oh please, bitch. I'd never be caught dead in fucking Minnesota. Bunch of stupid ass ugly fat whores and cunts like you , you stupid retarded CUNT. Learn how to write:

    "and el rey sorry about your grandma may her rest in peice"

    DUH. I bet you are only sorry because you weren't' there when El Rey's old CUNT of a grandmother died so you could steal the fucking gold fillings out of her mouth with a pair of pliers. You retarded ugly ass whore.

    xoxoxo :) Happy Saturday.

    I also believe it's what he wants to do before he dies. It IS a death sentence, and the guy still SMOKES, like an idiot.

    Carlie, have some fucking self respect. You sound like a trailer trash whore with shit for brains. You must lick a lot of ass to get a mouth that filthy. You are so sad that you have to write that retarded crap to try and aggravate other people and get a little attention. You are either a really skanky girl or you are a man pretending to be a girl. Sad little drag queen…

    Re: angeli – Look, ghetto trash. Go back to the projects and get your spelling certificate fucking trash bitch, BITCH! Bend over and let me fuck you with my high heeled BOOT, cunt. You think you know me? Learn how to fucking spell, you sound so fucking stupid and retarded…. Why don;t you suck patrick swayze's cock, or better yet, wait until after he is dead, that way you can eat it too. FUCKING CUNT ASS BITCH. Don't mess with this bitch because she'll eat you for breakfast, lunch and dinner. :p

    [re=2335667Re: fed up – Dear Fed Up, You know, I think you're right and your opinion of me really matters, so i'd like to deeply apologize to you and all the other Perez readers for my terrible comments. I am so ashamed and your post was a wake up call to me. Thanks so much.

    Love and kisses and….

    FUCK YOU YOU FUCKING CUNTFACE TWAT MOTHERFUCKING SHIT EATING PISS DRINKING CUM GUZZLING CUNT ASS FUCKING TWAT CUNTFACE ASSHOLE SHIT FOR BRAINS!!!!

    Damn bitch, you think you know me? you think you can figure this bitch out? This is an OPINIONATED BITCH who is way:
    1. hotter
    2. smarter
    3. FUCKABLE

    than you are or you will ever be. So look here, here's my suggestion.. why don't you just lie down and open your mouth and let me spread my fine ass ass cheeks and unload my whole day's worth of steaming hot shit… spicy shit with all that hot curry that I ate last night, just for you….. Then i can take out my tampon and have you suck on it, so you can enjoy all my hot juice and then I can piss on your face to wash it down for you and then, i can let you lick up my asshole to clean me up.. then maybe, maybe i will listen to what you have to say you stupid cunt. UNTIL THEN FUCK OFF CUNT. AS IF WHAT YOU THINK EVEN MATTERS.

    Happy Saturday, bitch.
