Please Sir, Can I Have Some Cancer?


According to Digital Spy, Michelle Bass has been 'rocked by a cancer scare'. Now, I'm not for a second trying to suggest that cancer is anything but a terrifying ordeal for everyone it touches, but seriously, is this what it's come to?

For those finding fame's fickle finger pointing elsewhere, cancer is now the ultimate inroad to lucrative interviews, front page spreads and exclusive magazine deals. Tellingly, Michelle comments that, although she wasn't on the same Big Brother as Jade Goody, she knows her because they have the same agent. Colour me surprised.

What's particularly creepy is the fact that, following in Jade's footsteps, the press have been notified before tests are conducted to determine whether the cancerous cells have spread.

On the same weekend that Kerry Katona announces the breakdown of her marriage, and the launch of her new TV show 'Kerry Katona: The Divorce', I find myself wondering how long until we'll be able to press the red button to decide whether our favourite celebrities live or die.
