The late Farrah Fawcett has been nominated for an Emmy for her cancer documentary.
Fawcett’s death at the age of 62 from anal cancer pulled heartstrings around the world. “I know that she would be so, so happy. This was so important to her this project,” said Alana Stewart, her best friend and companion in her final hours.
Farrah’s Story, a 90-minute documentary, aired on NBC six weeks before she died on June 25.
“She’s been nominated before and I just know that this would be the most important one of all,”
Stewart said.
Fawcett became the unlikely spokeswoman for women who develop the rare cancer and for patients everywhere. She especially advocated for those seeking experimental treatments in the US.
“I think people will remember that beautiful young vibrant girl who captured the world’s imagination, and then right through to the end – her final fight, which was such an amazing courageous battle,” Stewart said.
The documentary has been nominated in the non-fiction special category. “It’s very bittersweet. Farrah passed away three weeks ago today,” Stewart said.
Stewart and Ryan O’Neal, the late actor’s partner, helped Fawcett make the documentary. A sequel is said to be in the pipeline.
Grammy-nominated gospel musician David ‘Pop’ Winans Sr. died on Wednesday in Nashville, Tennessee. He was 76. Pop was known as one half of the gospel duo ‘Mom and Pop Winans’ with his wife Delores. Their album ‘Mom & Pop Winans’ was nominated for a Grammy in 1989 and he was nominated again for a solo effort in 1999. Pop also fathered a family of musicians; daughters BeBe and CeCe Winans recorded the hit singles ‘Addictive Love’ and ‘I’ll Take You There’, and sons Michael, Marvin, Carvin and Ronald, known at The Winans, recorded ‘Ain’t No Need to Worry’. The family released a statement regarding the death saying “The Winans family wishes to thank everyone for their prayers and continued support, but would appreciate privacy at this time.”
Rick Astley’s MTV Europe Music Award for Best Act Ever has finally been sent to him. The singer was not at the ceremony but did pass on a message to his fans. He said “Please give my thanks to everyone who voted for me, those people I know and the anonymous ones as well.” You would think that it was such a big award that there will be more to his thank you speech. But really, I think all thank you speeches should be like that. I really don’t get the long droning ones that give thanks to everyone including their neighbor’s mother.
Janet Jackson, Cher and now Meat Loaf! The oldies rocker was recently awarded the ‘Q Classing Song Gong’ for his 1979 hit ‘Bat Out of Hell’ at the Q Awards ceremony which was held in London. Unfortunately, he had to leave the festivities early to receive medical treatment after suffering vertigo. Meat Loaf apparently hit the red carpet looking dishevelled, was unsteady on his feet and spoke incoherently when he accepted his gong on stage. Award show-goers also say that he almost fell during the presentation of the award. Is it really vertigo or was he just drunk? If it was vertigo, I hope he gets better. If he was drunk, he needs to set his priorities straight.
Beyonce wasn’t the only celebrity recognized at the glitzy and pricey Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation Diamond Ball. Miami’s own Gloria Estefan was also a distinguished recipient of the award. Congratulations go out to her! The Latin singer will also be honored at the Latin Grammy’s next month as their ‘Person of the Year’. I guess there are lots of reasons to celebrate in the Estefan household this month. Though I have to ask, what kind of award is ‘Person of the Year’? Couldn’t they just award her with an achievement award or something? It seems to me that they’re just trying to pull some things in by giving her that award.
The eighties icon, Rick Astley, has been shortlisted for a 2008 MTV Europe Music Award.
Can you believe it?!
This is the first time EVER that Rick’s been nominated for a moon man.
He shares the nomination with names such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Tokio Hotel, Green Day, and U2, for this year’s “Best Act Ever” Award.
I’m so excited he’s going to be part of the EMA’s this year!
Imma gonna vote for Rick! Are you?

Kate Nash and Ryan Jarman’s pillow talk must have the bed mites running for cover. The sweet singer has gone all tough since she started dating The Cribs star.
And during a boozy trip to the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, Kate threw beer over some “industry w*****s” who weren’t getting into Ryan’s set, hit out at desperate skinny celebs and aggressively insisted she deserved her victory over Leona Lewis as Best Female at the Brits last month. She has even written a punk song to release her new-found anger.
After a great SXSW show, Kate revealed: “I’ve just been hanging out with Ryan and watched The Cribs. There has been lots of sun and beer. He gets angry but I do too. I threw some beer over some of the crowd at The Cribs gig over here the other day. I thought it was going to be amazing – but I got there and the band were amazing but the crowd were s**t. It was just industry w*****s with their clipboards. I threw a beer and it went over all of these industry people and they got upset. And I was like, ‘Have you never had beer thrown over you at a gig before? It’s a Cribs gig.’ Some of my friends have broken bones at gigs. I went to a party and it was full of horrible stick-thin people. We did my new song in one live take. There are so many people in this industry who make you angry. It makes you want to scream.”
Amy Winehouse must be feeling popular. She has been asked to perform at this years Brit awards – not once, but twice.
She will perform ‘Valerie’ as part of a Mark Ronson medley where Adele and Daniel Merriweather will also take turns to sing with the producer. The lights will then go down and the audience will think that Amy’s show is over.
But the Brit organisers have cleared another spot in the schedule for our troubled singer. The lights will come back up and she will perform a stripped down version of one of her other hits.
A source said: “Amy will be part of the Ronson medley, but she will also do something on her own. Along with Macca she is the night’s big attraction. The lights will come back up and she will sing one of her more emotive hits. It will be a magical moment.”
She may not have been in attendance, but there was no doubt the 2008 Grammys belonged to Amy Winehouse.
The singer, whose personal life is in turmoil, pipped Kanye West by one gong, winning a staggering five out of six awards. She was close to making it a clean sweep but missed out on scooping Album of the Year to little known jazz veteran Herbie Hancock.
After receiving her fifth award, ironically Record of the Year for hit single Rehab, an emotional Amy looked stunned and stared straight ahead for several seconds as the television feed cut to her in the London studio.
She then hugged her mum, Janice and thanked her parents before giving a message to her husband via a satellite link-up.
“To my mum and dad, for my Blake, my Blake incarcerated, Thank you very much, it’s an honor to be here. Thank you very, very much.”
