In May, Paul Newman pulled out of plans to direct a play for his Connecticut theater company citing health reasons.

No info was given by his publicist, which has only led to plenty of reports of what is ailing the Oscar-winning actor. Cancer seems to be the rumor.

The Daily Star reports that Newman is under the care of an oncologist at New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center for lung cancer.

The National Enquirer also reported that Newman has cancer. Whatever the case, we wish him well. They don’t make em like Newman anymore.

Here’s some shocking and sad news. Patrick Swayze has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. It started with The Sun and The National Enquirer yesterday who reported that he couldn’t keep down solid foods and that he only has 5 weeks to live. TMZ reported later in the day that his publicist said that while the cancer is true, he is responding to treatment.

The actor’s doctor says that he’s “optimistic” about his prognosis, but the reality of course is that less than five percent of pancreatic cancer patients survive more than five years after diagnosis.

We wish the 80’s icon all the best.
