Big Brother's Jade Goody Is Now Known For Her Love Instead Of Her Hate!

I don't watch "Big Brother",but even I became aware of the questionable remarks that Jade Goody made on that reality show.She showed her true colors & they weren't pretty!She insulted fellow contestant Shilpa Shetty & was accused of being a racist.Now,Jade Goody has redeemed herself to many in the public eye.She is making news for a whole different reason now.I was so sorry to hear that she is dying from cancer.But,I was glad to hear that she got a chance to fulfill her last wish.Here's more on that from the Telegraph:

"As with every other stage in Goody's life since she found fame on Big Brother seven years ago, the ceremony took place amid a media circus.

A television crew was on hand to capture the moment Goody, 27, exchanged vows with fiancé Jack Tweed, while a celebrity magazine paid £750,000 for the exclusive picture rights.

Goody organised the wedding in just seven days after learning she has weeks to live. She was diagnosed with cervical cancer in August and chemotherapy treatment failed to halt the spread of the disease.

"It was a very heart-rending, happy ceremony. There were lots of tears and lots of smiles. She looked absolutely beautiful," said her publicist, Max Clifford, adding that the wedding had lifted her spirits: "She's absolutely thrilled. She's like a little one who has just woken up on Christmas Day."

Guests at the venue, Down Hall in Hertfordshire, dined on lobster tagliatelle and were serenaded by pop group Sugababes.

The bride wore a £3,500 gown donated by Harrods boss Mohamed Fayed. The 21-year-old groom wore an electronic tag, a condition of his early release from prison where he served a sentence for assault. The couple were able to spend their wedding night together after Jack Straw, the Justice Secretary, relaxed Tweed's curfew.

Despite her failing health, Goody was determined to walk down the aisle and a pocket was sewn into the lining of her dress to conceal an intravenous morphine supply. Nurses from the Royal Marsden Hospital were in attendance.

She was given away by her grandfather, John Craddock, who said it was both the happiest and saddest day of his life.

Goody has struck media deals in order to provide for her sons Bobby, five, and Freddie, four, after her death. Proceeds from the wedding will go into a trust fund and she wishes them to be privately educated, giving them the opportunities she was denied. Goody endured a miserable childhood on a council estate in Bermondsey, south London, brought up by a heroin-addicted lesbian mother.

The decision to turn her illness into a public spectacle has left some feeling uneasy. However, she received words of support yesterday from Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor, Archbishop of Westminster, who urged people to pray for her."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

And I will pray for Jade Goody & the rest of her family.

Sean Penn Thanks All Of The "Commie Homo-Lovin' Sons Of Guns " For His Oscar!

Sean Penn was very gracious in his acceptance speech tonight.He acknowledged Micky Rourke's roaring comeback.Sean Penn even admitted that he wasn't a very likeable person,which has probably stopped him from getting it in the past.But,tonight wasn't just about who would get the "Best Actor" award.The fact that Sean Penn won an Oscar for playing a gay man in "Milk" not long after Prop. 8 passed isn't going to be lost on anyone.Especially since Sean Penn addressed the issue in his speech.He basically said that he hopes that people who don't support gay marriage will change their minds.I don't think they will.People are already griping about the Academy Awards being too political.Some folks would have been much happier if Mickey Rourke would have won.Whether it was politics are not,they both turned out some damn fine performances.Therefore,they both deserved an Oscar!

Slumdog Millionaire Wins Best Picture At The Oscars!

One of my favorite films won "Best Picture" tonight at the Oscars!I'm so happy for all of those who were involved in "Slumdog Millionaire" because they received the recognition that they deserve.There was some very fine directing & acting in this movie.But,not everyone enjoyed the film,as the report in this video shows.There are protests going on at the Oscars because some Indians feel that this movie misrepresents their community.And they are very angry at the director,Danny Boyle.
