Christopher Hitchens was asked at the start of the interview How he is, and he responded:

“How am I? I’m dying. Everybody is, but the process is accelerated in me, so I’m looking for ways to try to die more like you.”

He means to die slower, without a cancerous tumor in his esophagus, and without cancer in his lymph nodes. He added:

“I’m a realist, I’m objective. It’s not a good cancer to get. The statistics are very depressing. Mine isn’t just in my esophagus, either. It’s gone to my lymph nodes. I would be a very lucky person to live another five years.”

Hitchens said if ever it is said that he became religious, or started to believe in God, that would be some sort of propanda by the religious community or side effect of cancer or the chemotherapy that made him no longer himself:

“The entity making such a remark might be a raving, terrified person whose cancer has spread to the brain. I can’t guarantee that such an entity wouldn’t make such a ridiculous remark, but no one recognizable as myself would ever make such a remark.”

What I’ve liked about Hitchens is the fact you can have an intelligent discussion with him, without feeling like he’s a know-it-all, or feeling that he is putting you down.

I wish Hitchens a peaceful, and painless, passing.

Is there really a Fantasia sex tape?

Earlier this week, Paula Cole filed for divorce from her husband and cited his affair with the former American Idol champion as the basis for their break-up. In court documents, she even claimed Fantasia and Antwaun Cook “recorded their illicit activity.”

In other words: they went all Kim and Ray J on each other!

Now, through her reps, Barrino is speaking out against the allegations – and sort of, kind of, partially denying them.

Would you tape yourself hitting this? Possibly, if you’re Antwaun Cook.

Fantasia’s manager, Brian Dickens, has released a statement that says his client is “certain that she is not responsible for the deterioration of the Cook’s marriage.” It also reads:

“Fantasia will weather this storm with the dignity and grace that she has exemplified throughout a life in which she has repeatedly overcome obstacles and challenges. Fantasia’s faith in God, herself and family remain as strong as ever.”

Speaking to TMZ, meanwhile, Fantasia’s lawyer grew even harsher. Said Gena Morris: “Mrs. Cook gratuitously included claims about Fantasia to sensationalize that litigation and to insure that her tale would be picked up by tabloids.”

THG is making no judgment, nor are we taking a side. But there’s not actually a denial of relations between Barrino and Cook anywhere in here from Fantasia’s team, is there?

Justin Bieber has something in common with Jessica Simpson, Katy Perry, and Jennifer Love Hewitt. And it isn’t breast size.Instead, the 16-year old sensation has joined these beauties and other celebrities as the latest Proactiv spokesperson. Although it looks like the singer has never had a pimple in his life, Bieber says he can relate to this common teenage problem.Proactiv, naturally, is the solution.“I know that for a teenager, it doesn’t matter how many people are looking at you, you don’t want acne on your face,” Bieber says. “I’m in the limelight all the time… I’m constantly doing interviews, constantly doing photo shoots and I’m determined to keep myself clear. Using Proactiv will help that.”Added Justin: “My fans already know I’m just a regular kid, except the stuff about my life that’s not regular… like performing to thousands of kids and always being in the spotlight.”And guest-starring on CSI, and anchoring a 3D biopic about his life and writing a photo-based memoir. Except for all that stuff, Justin is just like you!

(38) is pregnant with her first child with fiance Martyn Lenoble (41). The couple have been dating for two years, and became engaged to be married on Valentine’s Day, but have not set a wedding date.

In July of 2008 Christina’s boyfriend was found dead after an overdose, and in August of 2008 she was diagnosed with breast cancer, which her mother died from, so she opted to have a double mastectomy, which means she won’t be able to breast feed.

Christina said last year:

“I’m very grateful to Martyn for coming along at a time that he did because he’s been my rock through all of this. He gave me something to really want to live for and something to smile about.”

A heart felt congratulations to Christina and Martyn. I hope this bring happiness into their lives, and their child’s, for many decades to come. I just hope Christina has stopped smoking.

Simon Monjack (40) died just 5 months after his wife Brittany Murphy (32), and they both died of exactly the same cause.

Both died from pneumonia, severe anemia, and multiple drug intoxication.

There are two common types of anemia, iron deficiency, and B-12 deficiency. The B-12 anemia is usually caused by a vegetarian diet in people Simon and Brittany’s age.

People were designed to eat meat, specifically grass fed red meat, which is where most B-12 is obtained, otherwise vegetarians have to take supplements, but most vegetarians don’t know this fact.

Miriam Lee filed a paternity claim for child support against Brian McKnight claiming he was the father of her 14 year-old son. McKnight ignored the order to appear, so the judge ordered a default judgment against him to pay $341,640 in back child support, and monthly support of $11,388.

McKnight finally got the DNA test back which proved he was not the father of the boy, so the judge threw out the case entirely.

In cases like this the judge should automatically be required to refer the case to the district attorney, who should be required to filed extortion and fraud charges against any woman who files a claim where DNA proves the accused man is not the father.

Andy Dick talked to Joy Behar earlier this week about Lindsay Lohan going to jail. Joy asked Andy what advice he would give Lindsay.

Dick talked about going to rehab 10 times, and the time he was in rehab with Robert Downey, Jr. who said to him there:

“Whatever you do, don’t let them tell you what to do.”

Robert is now clean and sober, working, and a bigger star than ever before.

Dick also said Chris Farley took him to his first alcoholics anonymous meeting, and gave him his first AA book in which Chris wrote:

“I hope this helps you the way it helped me.”

Farley died at the age of 33 from a combination of cocaine and morphine, which was complicated by advanced atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Farley went to rehab, and sought help in other ways a total of 17 times before his death.

Dick’s point was that jail and rehab may not help Lindsay at all. Only Lindsay can stop herself from killing herself with drugs and alcohol.

Andy is still having issues with being sober. He was recently caught on camera sleeping on a beach, when Giglianne Braga stumbled on him while shooting a reality show called If I Can Dream. Andy hit on the girl while slurring his words, and even urinated in the bushes before stumbling off on his way.

Orlando Bloom (33) and Miranda Kerr (27) got married in secret only a month after they confirmed being engaged.

Kerr said in a statement getting married was the reason she cancelled an appearance at the Australian department store David Jones:

“David Jones very graciously released me during this period so we could celebrate an intimate ceremony and honeymoon together. I’m very much a part of the David Jones Family and I am very committed to my role. I am enormously grateful to David Jones to have been given this time to enjoy such a special moment in my life.”

I hope the have beautiful babies together.
