It's a very sad morning for acting legend Paul Newman.

As we mentioned last month, Newman was said to have been diagnosed and undergone surgery to deal with a terminal type of cancer.

Now, reports are surfacing that Newman is said to be dying of lung cancer.

How truly sad.

Paul is said to have been diagnosed at New York’s Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre, where he is currently receiving outpatient treatment.

Thankfully, he is said to be under the care of a leading oncologist in New York.

The 83-year old chain-smoker and his family have decline to comment.

A close family member was only quoted as saying, “It’s so awful. He’s dying.”

If you don't already know, Newman is the founder of "Newman's Own", which offers various food products, like spaghetti sauce and salad dressing.

The company donates all its earning to charity and with earnings reaching over $100 million since it's creation, Newman has made major contributions to those less fortunate.

Let's send our thoughts and good vibes to the Newman family.

Former Nightline host Ted Koppel is desperate to sell his home.

It's actually been on the market for THREE YEARS already!

Koppel has been trying to sell his suburban Washington, DC home since 2005, when he originally listed it for $4.1 million.

And, now in 2008, he's cut the value by more than half.

Whatever it takes! Gotta unload!

Last August, he lowered the asking price to $2.3 million for the 9,000 square-foot, six bedroom home. It is located on 2.5 acres and includes an indoor pool, a maid's quarters, a gym, a sauna, and even a horse barn.

His current asking price is now $1.94 million.

As for Koppel and his wife, they have moved into a larger home a few miles away but still have not been able to sell their old place.

The economy is in such a shitter.

But, at least it's good for any potential home buyer's out there!

We told y'all about the explosive sit down interview that Clint Eastwood had with the British media in which he tells Spike Lee to "shut his face" and to study history.

Well….

No surprise, Spike Lee has a response to the Dirty one and it's a doozy!

Says Lee:

"First of all, the man is not my father and we're not on a plantation either. He's a great director. He makes his films, I make my films. The thing about it though, I didn't personally attack him. And a comment like 'a guy like that should shut his face' — come on Clint, come on. He sounds like an angry old man right there."

Lee has a proposal for Eastwood — "If he wishes, I could assemble African-American men who fought at Iwo Jima and I'd like him to tell these guys that what they did was insignificant and they did not exist," he said. "I'm not making this up. I know history. I'm a student of history. And I know the history of Hollywood and its omission of the one million African-American men and women who contributed to World War II."

And Lee's response to Eastwood's claim of his historical ignorance — "I never said he should show one of the other guys holding up the flag as black. I said that African-Americans played a significant part in Iwo Jima," he said. "For him to insinuate that I'm rewriting history and have one of the four guys with the flag be black … no one said that. It's just that there's not one black in either film. And because I know my history, that's why I made that observation."

Lee ended the interview saying, "Even though he's trying to have a Dirty Harry flashback, I'm going to take the Obama high road and end it right here. Peace and love."

You gotta give love to get love, boo!

Clint Eastwood sat down with the British media and let loose on everything from his feud with Spike Lee to his support of John McCain. A Hollywood Republican! GASP!

Here are some of the sit-down highlights:

In regards to Spike Lee's gripe that Clint Eastwood failed to tip a hat to the contributions of a small African American unit on Iwo Jima in the war flick Flags of Our Fathers: "Has he (Spike) ever studied the history?" asked Clint. Yes, there was a small detachment of black troops on Iwo Jima as a part of a munitions company, "but they didn't raise the flag. The story is Flags of Our Fathers, the famous flag-raising picture, and they didn't do that. If I go ahead and put an African-American actor in there, people'd go, 'This guy's lost his mind.' I mean, it's not accurate." "A guy like him should shut his face."

On being labeled a Hollywood Republican Clint says, "I don't pay attention to either side. I mean, I've always been a libertarian. Leave everybody alone. Let everybody else do what they want. Just stay out of everybody else's hair. So I believe in that value of smaller government. Give politicians power and all of a sudden they'll misuse it on ya."

And what about John McCain? Eastwood tells the Brit reporter, "My wife used to be an anchorwoman in Arizona, so she knew John McCain and she liked him and I kinda liked him. In fact, we sort of supported him when he was running the first time against Bush eight years ago. But we haven't been active as yet. It's kind of a zoo out there right now. So I think I'll kinda let things percolate."

One thing Eastwood also makes clear is that he will definitely not be making Dirty Harry 6, despite rumours to the contrary. "Some idiot came up with some theory," he says. The crime flick Gran Torino, which he is due to film at some point, is emphatically not part of the Dirty Harry cycle. "Not at my age," he stresses. "There are certain age limits on police officers. They'd have retired me out at 65."

Ed McMahon and his wife Pamela sat down with Larry King on Thursday night to talk about his mortgage woes.

McMahon revealed to King, "If you spend more money than you make, you know what happens. A couple of divorces thrown in, a few things like that."

Awwww. Chin up, gramps!

McMahon also confirmed that his house had been on the market for two years with no offers, but since news of the foreclosure broke Tuesday, "now there's tons of interest."

Yay! You turn the lemons into lemonade, take the catheter out and get to work!

When King asked why a multimillionaire could not make his house payments, McMahon's wife said, "Over the years, it's a combination of maybe Ed working so hard and not looking at proper management. We didn't keep our eye on the ball. We made mistakes."

What's happened to the McMahon's is a good lesson for us all!

Tatum O'Neal is just plain crazy!

But, at least she's pretending like she's trying to get help.

Just yesterday, after being released from jail for a drug bust over the weekend, Tatum attended an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.

And, like the good girl that she is, she was sure to let the media know where she was off to!

On her way out of her apartment, she said, "I'm doing very well. I'm going to an AA meeting. The whole thing is regrettable. What's good in what I did?"

And as if her past comments weren't funny enough, we've just learned that during the arrest Tatum told officers, "Today was the first time I was relapsing, but you guys saved me! Can you let me go?"

Delusional!

Forget Alcoholics Anonymous. Tatum needs to check into rehab now!
