      That is disturbing. Shit like that should be done in private and not exploited for ratings. Only you, Mario, would find this amusing.



    2. 2

      that changed my mood drastically………… thanks alot shitbox



    3. 3

      thats so SAD! :(



    4. 4

      I feel really bad for her :( She maybe be incredibly thick but I don't think she was intentionally racist and I don't think shes a bad person. I hope she pulls through, for the sake of her kids at least



    5. 5

      first



    6. 6

      Now why in the hell would you put that up?! That is private and personal information. Jesus christ, I have lost what little respect I have left for this site.



    7. 7

      that is so sad on so many levels the good thing is that she does have kids.



    8. 8

      Thats quite painful to watch - feel V sorry for her and wish her the best…
      BUT i dont get why she went back in the house?
      If she wanted she could have left from the diary room there and then, I dont think it was a publicity stunt but i think it could have been handled better…..

      awe this is so sad… hope she is ok



    10. 10

      Well, she should have gotten the HPV vaccine or not been such a tramp. This was 100% preentable. You get cervical cancer from sleeping with too many guys, known fact.



    11. 11

      That's exploitation at it's worst. Really disgusting. I couldn't even watch the entire thing because I felt like I was intruding on something way too personal. I hope you'll remove this one, Perez.

    15. 15

      Wow - I love me some reality TV, but this is a bit private for air :\



    16. 16

      poor jade…….8-(



    17. 17

      That made me cry…



    18. 18

      That was really sad and hard to watch. I really hope everyone that was railing on this woman yesterday and calling this a publicity stunt, realizes what douchebags they were being. Again, Cancer is not a joke, and is not something the should be made fun of, regardless of how you **think** she got it. So sad. So sad.



    19. 19

      Yeah that is sad. I hope she gets rid of that cancer and I sure wish all of these fucking scientist would take all the damn money they get from charities and find a fucking cure so ppl would stop dying!

      Re: Midna

      why do you and everyone else care who commented first…whether its Andy or anyone else? dont tell me your jealous? lol if thats not it then what is it because I am dumbfounded at the moment



    23. 23

      jeeze thats awful. no one deserves that to happen. best of luck to her



    24. 24

      Re: Nordic Blonde – Even if she got Cervical Cancer through having HPV, which is not the ONLY way one can get cervical cancer, it still doesn't mean that a) she was sleeping around with many people and b) that anyone deserves to get Cancer:

      What causes cervical cancer?

      Most cervical cancer is caused by a virus called human papillomavirus, or HPV. You get HPV by having sex with someone who has it. There are many types of the HPV virus. Not all types of HPV cause cervical cancer. Some of them cause genital warts, but other types may not cause any symptoms.

      You can have HPV for years and not know it. It stays in your body and can lead to cervical cancer years after you were infected. This is why it is important for you to have regular Pap tests. A Pap test can find changes in cervical cells before they turn into cancer. If you treat these cell changes, you may prevent cervical cancer.



    25. 25

      Aww totally sucks..When i moved to UK for one year I remember her from Big Brother 3 in UK. She was great to watch, couldn't stand her lol. but do hope everything goes fine with her. ;-) PS big brother in UK is way way better then the one in USA… and im from California lol.



    26. 26

      Re: Andy27
      We hate you so much



    27. 27

      No one deserves that… no matter how racist they are.



    28. 28

      completely agree with Miss Mac, not handled well at all - firstly i dont understand why she went into the house into the first place and I dont understand why they took her out straight away. but jesus f*cking christ this is awful to watch.



    29. 29

      Re: abercorey – LOL…read comments 14 and 26…LOL…I seriously am SO AMUSED by these little bitches, who love hangin on my nuts. I am guessing those were the idiots that used to come on here screaming "FIRST!"….they're pissed that they're not able to do so anymore.



    30. 30

      Jade actually told them to air the footage, Perez is just passing it on!



    31. 31

      :-(



    32. 32

      that is so sad… i'm crying…



    33. 33

      Since I have had numerous family members, and friends, diagnosed with cancer (my mother-in-law passed away from it about 1 1/2 months ago)….I don't feel the need to watch this video. To show the video (whether it was benign or malignant) is extremely tacky, pervasive and heartless.



    34. 34

      Re: Nordic Blonde – you are a fucking idiot



    35. 35

      Sorry, but I didn't watch that video. That one is just to private. And should have stayed private.



    36. 36

      *jaw drops*

      What the FUCK?

      Are you SERIOUS?

      That is fucked up. Jesus Christ, is nothing sacred?



    37. 37

      Re: Nordic Blonde

      Cervical cancer isn't 100% preventable, you stupid twat! Jesus what an idiot!



    38. 38

      Terrible… I haven't been a fan of hers but I really hope she pulls through this. That was difficult to watch and I feel kind of dirty for doing so… Perez, you should take it down. This is voyeurism at its absolute lowest form.



    39. 39

      that was really, really sad, i know she isn't the nicest of people but that is really sad.
      i have her perfume, shh, it's really nice.



    40. 40

      Re: Andy27

      Yet it's sad that you are excited about being the one to scream "first" now. You wouldn't annoy me so much if you weren't such a rude twat.



    41. 41


    42. 42

      is it me or is the younger generation getting cancer much earlier?



    43. 43

      My father had cancer this year and was healed. Cancer can be treated and can be beaten GOD BLESS YOU

      All you people need to chill out… This is why shit like the Hills is popular. All you assholes want to watch fake reality… Its nice to see something real for a change. Its nice to see something other than spoiled rich kids failing at fake relationships. heaven forbid you see some REAL life for a change.. like the homeless people who struggle everyday while their government does nothing to help them.. like all the soldiers being blown apart in Iraq…. or the fact that thousands of families are losing their homes because the government doesn't regulate any business from taking advantage of people…. oh hell no.. i don't want to see that.. let those bitches fight it out in Iraq.. I really don't care as long as my gas is cheaper.. let those homeless die in the streets..who cares right.. as long as it doesn't interrupt your run to starbucks… lets drill in alaska and off shore.. who cares what it does to the environment.. who cares about anything but all our sad pathetic lives.. ok i am done now.



    45. 45

      Re: Nordic Blonde – If ignorance is bliss, you must be pretty damn happy. Cervical cancer IS NOT always caused by HPV. Read a book sometime…
      Good luck to Jade!



    46. 46

      omg,, i cannot believe they show this on televison!



    47. 47

      Re: Nordic Blonde – Thats not the only way to get cervical cancer idiot!! Some people just develop it, theres no need to be nasty about it!! And its not 100% preventable no matter what precautions you take you can still develop cervical cancer other ways, i don't think i've ever heard someone talk such shit as what your saying!!!



    48. 48

      I find it pretty disturbing that private stuff like this is being released online. That she's on the BB show, okay. But things like this are over the edge, you don't show that!



    49. 49

      Re: CnSF – Just so you know….your diatribes just don't have that certain 'OOMPH'. Maybe if you were able to have violins playing in the background….hmmmm. Yeah, I believe that may work.



    50. 50

      aww bless her
      i hope she gets well



    51. 51

      I Was Watching An Interview With Her Manager Earlier And He Said That The Hospital Called The Producers Of The Show And Said To Get Her Out Of There Before They Told Her But Obviously They Thought I Would Be More "Entertaining" To Show It On Tv Which Is Just Sick. I Hope She Sues Or Something Cos That Is Disturbing. What A Horrible Way To Find Out Something So Horrific. Poor Jade :(



    52. 52

      my thoughts and prayers are with her..
      what a horrible way to find out.. well i guess any way is horrible to find something like that out..
      but if it was shown for the ratings like some of you are saying…thats just bullshit. its going a little too far….



    53. 53

      Re: Xx*AiiMeE*xX – That is deplorable. But, if she is going to sue anyone…I hope that she also includes the doctor.
      That doctor KNEW that the diagnosis was going to be devastating, to his patient….and, went along with the producers FOR RATINGS POINTS.
      A Doctor is supposed to take their patients confidence and well-being into consideration…ABOVE ALL ELSE! Hence, the Hippocratic Oath! I hope that she takes this so-called 'doctor' for all he is worth.



    54. 54

      Re: Nordic Blonde – You are retarded and THAT is a know fact. Even 7yo virgin girls can get cervical cancer (and it happens). Not all of them are the result of sexual activity. And a woman doesn't need to have sex with many men to get it from sexual intercourse. You could marry virgin and get it from your husband since there is no test for men. Loser.

      Is it really necessary that the whole world has access to this?



    57. 57

      Re: Nordic Blonde – Wow, how ignorant, arrogant and just blatantly stupid can one person be.
      Your comment is really hurtfull to the many women who have been battling this cancer. Not all women with cervical cancer are sluts that sleep around like you state, no more that all blondes are stupid.



    58. 58

      Usually I love your posts, and I check your site daily…but seriously? This shouldn't have been put up, on your site, or in an other way available to the public. This is a horrible, horrible experience and should've been kept private. This girl feels like someone just gave her her death certificate, so give her a break.



    59. 59

      Re: Nordic Blonde – LOL
      its funny cause you're incredibly stupid. just thought i'd explain that lol.. cause you are incredibly stupid and probably didnt understand



    60. 60

      My heart is breaking for her. No matter what she has done in the past NOBODY deserves to get cancer. My thoughts and prayers are with her. GET WELL SOON JADE.

      wow this really hit home for me. Over a year ago I found out that I had HPV and it turned out being one of the worst ones you can get(turns into cervical cancer) I had only been with 3 guys. Its the worst thing that has ever happend to me and even writing about it now brings tears to my eyes. Just 4 months after being diagnosed I already started having pre cancerous cells and therefore had to have the LEEP procedure where they shave out layers of your cervix. Its been a year since then and every pap smear Ive had since has come out normal,but I still have the virus and it could come back again. I feel like HPV is the next worst disease after HIV/AIDS. Id rather have herpes, at least that cant KILL you. Whats crazy is they came out with the vaccine jsut right after i found out.. people..USE CONDOMS and even tho there is not a test out YET for HPV for men make them get tested for everything else..and when they do have one for men you have got to make them do this. I know who gave this to me and I feel so sorry for everyother girl that is going to get this and have to go thry what I have and what many other women do.It makes me so mad to read people saying"well she shouldnt have slept around only sluts get that" THAT IS SO NOT TRUE!!!!!!!!!!! its a horrible horrible thing to have to go thru :(



    62. 62

      Re: Nordic Blonde – Stupid cunt. You don't have to sleep with anybody to get cervical cancer. Certain strains of the HPV virus have been linked to it, yes, but cancer is cancer and millions of people are predisposed to it because of genetics or other environmental influences. And did I mention that YOU are a fucking BITCH to boot?!



    63. 63

      Yeah, thanks. We don't SPANISH.

      Guess you don't know English well enough to watch it on tv…

    71. 71

      Fair enough the girl's got cancer but why does she have to publsize it on TV? And especially at a time when she's on a program in which to expell any racist rumours? It just seems a little to sympathy reaching to me. Sorry but I have to be honest, this woman has been trying so hard for the last year to gain her public and there has been just to many hardships in the last couple of months for her.

      Only 70% of cervical cancer cases are related to HPV, which leaves 30% of cervical cancer cases non-HPV related. Regardless, about 75% of people have at least one strain of HPV, many of which do not know it. Condoms do NOT protect you and the vaccine is NEW and only vaccinates you for 4 strains of the virus, while there are over 110 different varieties.

      Taken from the CDC (Canadian Centre for Disease Control - Government) website: HPV is estimated to be one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) around the world. HPV is responsible for approximately 70% of cervical cancers. It is estimated that as many as 75 % of sexually active men and women will have at least one HPV infection in their lifetime.

      Munted



    83. 83

      Re: Nordic Blonde – Number 1 - The HPV vaccine is not yet available in the UK as yet, we are obviously awaiting to see if any abnormal effects occur to shitheads like you before injecting ourselves with it. Number 2 - There is no requirement for promiscuity in order to become infected with HPV, you could contract it from your husband on your wedding night whilst losing your virginity. Number 3 - You have the most desperately sluttiest picture on this page. do us all a favour and change that picture, no one wants to look at your flappy baps shoved into a wonderbra.. In the words of Jade Goody you MING xxx

      is it just me or is it a bit sick to tell someone they have cancer on national television?

      Re: Nordic Blonde – I am still so angry at your comment. I actually think you should apologise for your complete and utter retardedness.. not only do these women who suffer from this horrific condition risk losing their lives, their child baring potential and leaving their families motherless they also have cunts, just like you, blaming them for it. In my opinion you are scum. Perhaps when a member of your family dies from cancer you will be safe in the knowledge that there are stupid bastards out there just like you to offer you some comfort. You are a disgrace.

      Thing is, i know full well that your response to this post is likely to be another 3 or 4 word sentence because you think that will infuriate me further, but i assure you it won't, it will just prove your limitless ignorance. Or you may be brave and try to retort with something rather "witty" but you know damn well you will fail phenomenally. Or perhaps you will spell check what I write to give yourself an ego boost. In my opinion however i suggest you apologise whole-heartedly or keep your face shut and crawl back under your rock.

      I feel much better :o D



    89. 89

      Why would anyone in their right minds and who is waiting to hear if they have cancer or not go half way around the world to enter a reality contest. Gade Goody is a sick attention seeker. I hope she beats the cancer and then has to spend the rest of her life not being famous. Milking cancer for publicity is twisted. If I knew I was waiting on results of a cancer test I would want my family and kids around me, not a bunch of strangers. Oh wait, I'm not a fame whore obsessed with being on the telly.



    90. 90

      omg that is soo sad…
      and fuck all use cunts who are dissin perez.. he never thought it was amusing
      "heartbreaking" is what he typed fuckheads..
      and it is it is heartbreaking.. feel sorry for her =[

      p.s luv u perez

      Well, we might not be able to save Jade… But check out at 3 minutes 33 seconds… We can at least save Sanjay! Let's all sms!

      What great to see that this Big Boss show has not lost its opportunity to make extra money by advertisements on somebodys illness. Hurray for them.



    92. 92

      I can't get Myself to watch it Perez- NOT necessary!!



    93. 93

      it is very personal, but she recently agreed to have it broadcast on richard and judy so…I dont see how this is different?
      most of her "fans" are based in the uk where richard and judy is broadcast, so having this clip posted on a website mostly visited by americans and young people is the lesser of the two dont you think?

      it is really sad though. I dont think she intended for it to be broadcast on big brother, her doctor said something about keeping the matter private but they filmed it anyway.

      I have sat with my 27 year old girlfriend when she was diagnosed with TERMINAL cancer while 5 months pregnant. I watched her and her unborn baby die leaving behind a 3 year old daughter and her husband 3 months later.
      I am now facing possibly having colon cancer myself at 31.
      This is NOT entertaining and I find it DISGUSTING you have this on your site PEREZ!
      SHAME ON YOU!
      HORRIBLE!

      Re: ROCk_eT
      You're an IDIOT.
      I don't care it he titled it "heartbreaking". I can videotape some committing suicide and write "soooo sad and tragic" as a title then post it and it doesn't justify me posting it. To, perhaps, have mentioned that she had cancer might have been more acceptable (if these things can ever be acceptable), but showing her receiving the news goes beyond classless and has no justification unless your a useless piece of ignorant trash.
      Why would someone even watch it unless they were an asshole who got their kicks watching other people suffer????
