Just read on the Sky News site that someone entered Jade's hospital room, threatening her with a hammer :eek: That's the last thing she needs!
A WEIRDO with a hammer was caught inside Jade Goody’s hospital room yesterday — praying over the dying star.
Horrified medics raised the alarm after cancer-stricken Jade was woken by the female intruder and called for help.
They summoned cops who rushed to the scene and arrested the mystery woman.
The intruder carrying a large bag is said to be French and aged 41. She woke 27-year-old Jade with praying and chanting.
Publicist Max Clifford said: “Jade was obviously shocked. She started saying, ‘Who are you? What are you doing here?’
“She called out for a nurse and when someone came the woman ran off.”
The astonishing incident came after Big Brother favourite Jade’s new hubby Jack Tweed briefly left his vigil at her side to get a cup of tea.
A Met Police spokesman said last night: “We were called to the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea this afternoon.
“We arrested a woman who was in a patient’s room and whose behaviour was flagged up by the hospital’s security.
“After questioning her she was found to be in possession of an offensive weapon. She was arrested for possessing the weapon and taken into custody at a London police station for further questioning.
“She had not attempted to use the weapon.”
A Met Police source said the woman was armed with a hammer. She was later released from custody and police said there would be no further action.
Clifford added that Jade was now more determined than ever to return home following the incident.
He said: “This has unsettled her. She is hoping to return in the next few days.”
He said that security around Jade’s room had been stepped up. He also said the star had been heavily sedated yesterday as she recovered from her hospital christening with sons Bobby, five, and four-year-old Freddie on Saturday.
And he revealed she was surprised to learn she is headline news in the States.
He said: “Jack’s been telling her about all the messages from well-wishers. It was an eye-opener that she’s major news on all the main US networks.
She is understandably very tired from the christening. She has been sedated and will continue to be — which at least means that she’s not in pain. She was very happy with how things went on Saturday.
“The two things she wanted to do were get married and for her and the boys to be christened.”
From The Sun
Michael Jackson has telephoned Jade Goody to give the terminally ill reality TV star his support, it has been claimed.
The pop superstar knew Goody after she starred alongside his brother Jermaine on Celebrity Big Brother in 2007, The Sun reports.
A friend said: "He learned of Jade's suffering and wanted to lend his support and comfort her at this awful time.
"When she was told Michael was on the phone her eyes lit up and she mustered all the strength she could to have a chat.
"It gave her a real boost and hope that she'll be alive to watch him perform in the summer."
Jackson also spoke to Goody's husband Jack Tweed when she became too ill to continue the conversation, and promised the pair and their children VIP tickets to his comeback shows in July.
There's a Tonight special on Jade Goody if anyone's interested. ITV1, 8pm.
I doubt it will have anything we have not read about already - I will give it a miss. But thanks for the post :)
Max Clifford has said that Jade Goody's life story may eventually be adapted for the big screen.
The publicist told The Daily Telegraph that Simon Cowell had informed him of the rising interest in Goody across the Atlantic.
Clifford said: "Practically everyone is asking him how Jade is doing. All the celebrities he meets have been following her story on TV and in newspapers and magazines.
"She has achieved so much by simply being herself and telling people just how it is. That's the most refreshing thing about Jade - her honesty.
"When a story becomes this big, the more chance there is about something like [a film] happening."
Los Angeles-based PR professional Michael Sands said: "Hollywood loves a heartwarming inspirational story, especially about someone who has turned their life around such as Jade."
Who would they cast to play her? :hmm:
Sorry but that just sounds ridiculous!
Jade Goody has said that her husband Jack Tweed has been "amazing", despite his conviction last week for assault.
Writing in her weekly column for New!, Goody expressed her happiness that Tweed's curfew from a previous offence was relaxed last Tuesday to allow the pair to spend the night together.
She said: "It's not the same as being at home but it's a real treat having some special time alone. People forget how hard this is for Jack too.
"I know you will have read all about Jack's latest brush with the law. I haven't heard all the gory details - I've been too busy resting.
"What's important is that he's been there for me, yes, despite all the pictures of him out and about with his mates! He's been by my side every day, cuddling and kissing me.
"He really has been amazing."
I have my doubts about him after reading about his behaviour but if he makes her happy, then that is the most important thing.
DESPERATE Jade Goody is terrified that she may never see her beloved young sons again as cancer takes her sight.
The dying star is bravely fighting to be allowed home from hospital so she can die near her two boys.
But worried pals have revealed her condition is now so bad she can barely see — with her remaining vision limited to just one eye.
And the Big Brother favourite, 27, fears that if she is not allowed home soon she may never again glimpse little Bobby, five, and brother Freddie, four.
One close pal said: “Every day Jade’s away from the children she knows it’s one less day she’ll get to spend with them before she dies.
“She’s desperate to be close to her sons in her final hours and hates them seeing her in hospital.
“She wants to go home and be surrounded by family and friends — not in a hospital bed. Everyone’s concentrating on getting the nurses prepared so that she can face the pain at home.”
Jade’s sight has deteriorated rapidly since she and her sons were christened in an emotional hospital service on Saturday, when she was still able to recognise relatives and friends.
The star, now barely able to speak, revealed later: “I’m so sad it was one of our last moments.
“I’m so proud of my little men — I love them more than anything.”
Jade’s spokesman Max Clifford confirmed she was intent on returning to her home in Upshire, Essex.
He said: “It means so much to her to be close to the boys.
“She’s hoping she’ll be able to go home in the next few days if the nurses can look after her there.”
But last night mum Jackiey Budden, 50, was sitting with her daughter as fears grew she may have just hours rather than days to live.
It was the first time Jackiey had kept a round-the-clock bedside vigil for Jade at the Royal Marsden Hospital in Chelsea, West London.
Earlier, Jade was visited by 21-year-old husband Jack Tweed, who wed her at a hotel last month.
He stayed with her for more than five hours, collecting flowers from well-wishers as he popped outside.
Meanwhile, security at the hospital has been stepped up after an amazing breach on Sunday, when a female intruder was found in Jade’s room.
The star woke to find the woman stroking her head and chanting prayers.
Police arrested the intruder, who was found to be in possession of a gavel — a small ceremonial hammer used mostly by judges.
The 41-year-old was later released without charge.
Hospital sources said she had simply asked a member of staff for directions to Jade’s room and made her way there unchallenged.
Jade, diagnosed with cervical cancer last summer, is mustering all her strength to support a march to Downing Street next week calling for the age for smear tests to be cut to 20.
Mr Clifford said: “If she’s well enough she wants to go to that.”
The Sun
JADE Goody will go to hell because she is a Christian, Muslim fanatics insisted last night.
The warped internet claim by followers of hate preacher Omar Bakri followed dying Jade’s decision to be baptised.
The ceremony was carried out at the weekend in London’s Royal Marsden Hospital for Jade, 27, and her young sons Bobby and Freddie.
But extremists who support Bakri and al-Qaeda launched a furious attack on the star on a website operated by a banned group which backs the preacher, who is now based in the Lebanon.
The fanatics declared: “The Christian faith to which she now turns to does not provide the answers.
“Jesus to who Christians plead for salvation will be of no avail. We call upon Jade Goody, other Christians and mankind to return back to Allah.
“If you do not then death awaits and hell will be the final abode and destiny for those who disbelieve in Allah.”
The rant appeared on the Islam for the UK website operated by longtime Bakri henchman Anjem Choudary.
There is a picture of Jade on the site’s home page accompanied by the caption: “O Jade Goody — Now is the Time to Repent and Return to Your Lord Allah and Save Yourself!”
The rant prompted a visitor to the site named only as Bilal to say cruelly: “Think of the benefits. Wearing a khimaar (head covering) would cover that bald head of yours.”
Jade lost her hair as a result of the chemotherapy she received to try to stop her cancer spreading.
I hope that Jade does not get to hear about this :thumbsdow :angry:
FFS, can't these people keep their opinions to themselves? Nobody (especially those who are dying, not just Jade) wants to hear what they have to say :angry:
I hope Jade is strong enough to ignore what these idiots have said. It would have been better if the media had the sense not to report this :thumbsdow Anything to sell papers it seems :rolleyes:
Jade Goody's condition has reportedly worsened to the point where she is going blind, with her remaining vision limited to one eye.
The reality TV star was diagnosed with cervical cancer last year and the condition has since spread to her liver, bowel and groin before moving to her brain.
Goody wants to go home to spend more time with her children but her sight has deteriorated since she was christened in hospital at the weekend, The Sun reports.
A friend said: "Every day Jade's away from the children she knows it's one less day she'll get to spend with them before she dies.
"She's desperate to be close to her sons in her final hours and hates them seeing her in hospital.
"She wants to go home and be surrounded by family and friends - not in a hospital bed. Everyone's concentrating on getting the nurses prepared so that she can face the pain at home."
Of the christening, Goody said: "I'm so sad it was one of our last moments. I'm so proud of my little men - I love them more than anything."
Jade Goody has said that she is upset by accusations that husband Jack Tweed married her for her money.
The terminally ill reality TV star told OK! that people who make such claims do not know anything about their relationship.
Goody said: "How am I meant to react to stuff like that? It really upsets me.
"They don't know anything about us. Jack loves me and I love him. Yeah, he's been a bit stupid in the past but he is young.
"He's been a brilliant dad and I'm just sorry I could never give him his own child."
She added that her children "adore" him and that he played with them instead of spending time with his friends on their wedding day.
Earlier this month, Tweed was found guilty of assault for an incident that occurred last May.
It was the second time he has been convicted of a violent offence in the past seven months.
Poor Jade I wish she could get her wish and go home to be with her sons, I can't see her surviving another week.
I am finding it really uncomfortable hearing of constant updates of her deterioration. I think now's the time they leave her be until the worst happens. Sadly, I can't see her surviving until the end of the week :(
BRAVE Jade Goody today faces her final battle in her cancer fight — to be allowed home to spend her final days with her beloved sons.
Jade, 27, has begged doctors at London’s Royal Marsden Hospital to let her return to Freddie, four, and five-year-old Bobby.
Yesterday they appeared poised to grant the Big Brother star’s dying wish.
Jade’s spokesman Max Clifford revealed: “She will be coming home tomorrow —but only if nurses are able to keep her pain at bay.”
Last night Jade’s thoughts on facing death emerged.
She told OK! magazine: “I might fall asleep one day and not wake up and that is a scary thing to think about. No one should worry about me, though.
“I’m in terrible pain, but I am determined to make sure the time I have left is fun with my mates and family.”
Mr Clifford told how they hoped to make that happen.
He said: “The plan is she will leave in an ambulance under supervision of someone from the Marsden who will administer the epidural and pain control. Jade is desperate to get home with the boys.”
But he stressed: “If doctors are not happy tomorrow morning she will not go home.”
Mr Clifford said Jade was “thrilled” at the prospect of returning to the boys and new husband Jack Tweed.
He said: “Jade knows she hasn’t very long and wants to be at home surrounded by loved ones and family.”
Jade, of Upshire, Essex, has spent ten days in hospital after being rushed in for an operation.
She was the subject of a second security scare yesterday.
A man claiming to be a faith healer was blocked as he tried to get to her, telling staff: “I can heal Jade. I am a thousand times stronger than the Dalai Lama.”
On Sunday a female intruder with a hammer was found in her room.
It also emerged that Jade wants to be remembered as “the mouthy bird off the box” and as “the one who irritated and entertained in equal measure”.
She concluded in the interview: “I’ve achieved more in just 27 years than some achieve in their lifetime.”
Tonight viewers will see Jade making final preparations for last month’s wedding.
In Jade: Bride-to-be-Be, on Living at 9pm, she jokes with pals as she lies back in a dentists’ chair to have her teeth whitened.
Wiping tears from her eyes, she says: “If I die, (I’m) gonna miss all this.”
The Sun revealed yesterday the weak Big Brother legend was going blind.
Husband Jack spent three hours at Jade’s bedside yesterday then left to hold a business meeting aimed at relaunching his career as a nightclub host.
He met representatives from West End club Vendo, where he will be hosting “Celebrity Nights”.
Jack, 21, used to co-host similar nights in another club before he was jailed for an assault last year.
The Sun
Jade Goody has given a poignant final interview – saying she hopes to be remembered as a colourful and vibrant character who refused to be crushed by her cancer battle.
Terminally ill Jade said she was in terrible pain but determined to live her remaining days to the full surrounded by those she loves.
And she told OK! magazine she hoped that after she dies people will think of her as “a mouthy bird – the one who irritated and entertained people in equal measure”.
The 27-year-old Big Brother favourite added: “But I also want to be remembered as the girl who put up a fight and would never let herself get beaten down.
“I was given a death sentence but I didn’t let it kill me. I fought it, got married, got christened. I’m happy.
“I’ve achieved more in 27 years than some achieve in a lifetime. I could bitch about dying young but at the end of the day I can look back on my life and be proud of what I’ve done.”
Jade also said she would like to have a public funeral to say thank you to the millions of ordinary people who have wished her well.
She added: “I have had so many kind messages from people over the past few weeks and if people feel like they want to say their goodbyes to me, then I would be happy for them to pay their respects.”
Jade, who has taken comfort from religion since she was diagnosed with cancer, said she could not understand why God had been so tough on her.
She added: “I think he wanted to make me a strong person.
“He gave me all these challenges and I think because I have coped with them he has chucked more and more at me.
“Why he has chucked this one at me, I just don’t know.”
Jade also spoke about reincarnation, adding: “My mum swears that her grandad came back as a bee that used to sit at her window.
“She was convinced that it was her gramps watching over her. I like to think I can be like that. But I wouldn’t want to come back as a bee, I’d probably get swatted!”
Jade said she would prefer to come back as an elderly woman. She added: “I have a thing for old biddies. Except if I did, I suppose I wouldn’t be around for long, would I?”
The mum of two is hoping to be able to leave London’s Royal Marsden Hospital soon so she can spent her remaining days at home in Upshire, Essex, with sons Bobby, five, and Freddy, four. She said: “I might fall asleep one day and not wake up and that is a scary thing to think about.
“No one should worry about me, though. I’m in terrible pain but I am determined to make sure the time I have left is fun with my mates and family.” Jade said she was devastated by the thought she would not see her boys grow up.
And she told how she has been upset by a series of attacks on her new husband Jack Tweed, 21.
She said people who had questioned his motives for being with her were “well out of order”.
Jade added: “They don’t know anything about us. Jack loves me and I love him. Yeah, he’s been a bit stupid in the past but he is young.
“The boys adore him. He’s been a brilliant dad and I’m just sorry I could never give him his own child.”
Jade’s spokesman Max Clifford yesterday said she may be well enough to go home today.
He said: “Jade is desperate to go home and was delighted that doctors agreed it would be possible. But it all depends on how she feels.
“If she does go home, it will be with one of the Royal Marsden nurses who has been looking after her to make sure that the epidurals are administered properly.”
Meanwhile, the bishop who conducted Jade’s wedding said her courage had ben inspirational.
Jonathan Blake said: “She is a tremendous example to all of us.
“When I had seen Jade days before she had been so weak.
“But at the wedding she had a huge adrenaline surge and was fully focused on the event.
“She was so full of energy, so thoughtful of others and living the day to the absolute full. She showed extraordinary strength.
“If Jade is able to be a symbol to people of how someone who has everything can meet this terrible situation bravely, and with grace, and laugh in the face of death, it will send a positive example to others.”
Jade’s long-term rival Jordan said yesterday she was planning a visit to say goodbye. She said: “It’s something I want to do in private, away from the cameras.”
Terminally ill reality TV star Jade Goody has left hospital.
The 27-year-old Big Brother star was carried into an ambulance after leaving the Royal Marsden Hospital in west London with her husband Jack Tweed.
Earlier, her publicist Max Clifford said she was "desperate" to return to her Essex home to see her children.
Goody, diagnosed with cervical cancer in 2008, has been told she has just weeks to live after the disease spread to her liver, groin and bowel.
"They are going back home," said Mr Clifford.
"Obviously, they've decided she's well enough to go. One of the nurses is going with her."
"She wants to spend as much time as possible with the boys and Jack," he added. "At the moment, that's very difficult."
The reality TV star was christened in a 20-minute service at the Royal Marsden on Saturday.
But she was left shaken on Sunday after being confronted in hospital by a woman with a hammer.
"Jade obviously freaked out," Mr Clifford said.
He added that security had been stepped up around Goody following the incident.
A 41-year-old woman was arrested for possession of an offensive weapon but was later released.
Jade Goody married her fiance Jack Tweed last month.
A documentary, Jade: Bride-to-Be, following last-minute preparations before Goody's wedding to Tweed, airs on digital channel Living at 9pm tonight.
Something about Jade and Comic Relief a few years back came up in the quiz we had for the 6th form today. More sick 'jokes' from people and one of them even brought David Cameron's son into it :angry:
If Jordan does want to say her peace with Jade she'd better get a move on she is growing weaker each day and soon she is going to be out of it on morphin because of the pain.
JADE Goody’s hubby Jack Tweed rushed to her bedside last night amid fears she had taken a turn for the worse.
Officials lifted his curfew after Jade, 27, who is dying of cancer, became crippled with pain and a nurse called for him.
Judges had ruled Jack, 21, who is on parole for assault, can only be with her on Thursday and Saturday nights
Jade’s spokesman Max Clifford said: “The nurse decided he should be there as she was in so much pain and distress.
“Jack is the one person able to help her when she is like that. There are arrangements for Jack to be there if the nurse feels it necessary.”
He added that Jade plans to celebrate Mothers’ Day tomorrow — a week early.
Jade was earlier said to be delighted after learning the screening age for cervical cancer is to be reviewed. The Government has said a panel of experts will consider if it should be lowered from 25 to 20 in England — as in Scotland and Wales.
The announcement came after more than 100,000 people signed up to The Sun’s Jade’s Legacy campaign.
The Big Brother star is dying after suffering cervical cancer at her home in Upshire, Essex.
Max Clifford said at the time: “She is delighted at this news.
“Everybody in Britain knows who’s responsible for this — and that’s Jade.
“She said to me, ‘It’s too late for me, but there’s an awful lot who will benefit through what has happened to me’.”
Health Minister Ann Keen said of the decision: “Screening saves 4,500 lives every year and we want to ensure our programme remains in the best interests of young women. Experts will review the latest evidence as well as consider how we can increase awareness of screening.”
The Advisory Committee on Cervical Screening will present its evidence to Ms Keen this year.
When Mr Clifford was asked how long Jade has left yesterday, he replied: “We are taking one day at a time.”
Jade Goody has spoken of her pride after a health minister announced that a review into the age limit for cervical cancer screening is to take place.
Ann Keen said that a panel of experts would consider whether women under 25 should be offered smear tests in the future.
Terminally ill Goody was diagnosed with the disease in August and later learned that it had spread to her bowel, liver and groin.
Spokesman Max Clifford said Goody was "immensely proud" that the current system of screening is to be probed. The 27-year-old reportedly said: "It's too late for me, but it will not be for millions of others."
Clifford told ITN that Goody's losing battle with the disease had brought unprecedented publicity to the campaign.
its good news that its going to be reviewed, but i just wonder how many of these 100,000 normally go for their smear tests or will do in the future. its a good thing trying to make the government change it, but whats the point if you are then not going to bother going
Shilpa Shetty is reportedly flying to the UK next week to visit her fellow Celebrity Big Brother housemate Jade Goody, reports the BBC.
Shetty was unable to attend the terminally ill star's recent wedding to Jack Tweed because of her filming schedule and apparently wants to see Goody "desperately".
The pair's relationship has blossomed into a friendship following a number of altercations on the Channel 4 reality show, which led to Goody being accused of bullying and racism.
Goody's cancer diagnosis on the Indian version of the programme, hosted by Shetty, has led to them being in close contact.
Publicist Max Clifford said: "Shilpa has been keeping in touch with her for months and they are good friends. She desperately wants to see her if she's well enough."
Goody's husband was rushed to her side last night after her condition deteriorated. "We are on the edge of a precipice," Clifford said.
CANCER victim Jade Goody knows she is now just hours from death and is frightened to close her eyes in case she never opens them again.
A close friend told how the reality TV star cried out in terror on Friday night, screaming for husband Jack Tweed.
The pal said: “One of the problems is she’s terrified of falling asleep because she’s afraid she’ll never wake up.
“That means she completely exhausts herself. It was terrible.”
New hubby Jack, 21 revealed how he too panicked when told Jade’s condition had taken a turn for the worse on Friday.
Fearing it was all over he dashed to his wife’s bedside at her home in Upshire, Essex, after asking Home Office officials to lift his curfew.
“When I got the call I was absolutely terrified,” he said.
“The thought that our fairytale could be over already filled me with dread and sadness.”
Desperately-ill Jade, just 27, is now so frail and weak she is not expected to live beyond tomorrow.
A friend warned: “It’s a matter of hours, she’s got dramatically worse overnight. Sadly, she’s very close to the end.”
Big Brother legend Jade’s spokesman Max Clifford confirmed: “She has deteriorated. She is very weak. The answer is, who knows? We are on the edge of a precipice.”
All but close family and friends have been told Jade can no longer see visitors.
The new curfew rules set by hubby Jack’s parole officers mean he can stay with her round-the-clock rather than having to report to his mother’s house 30 minutes away.
Yesterday Jade’s mum Jackiey Budden was in tears as she passed on the sad news to pals that her daughter knew her precious time was finally up.
Jade was asleep most of the day but when Jackiey emerged to let in nursing staff she was clearly distraught.
A friend said: “She’s been crying her eyes out, she’s been in floods of tears because she too realises it’s nearly the end of the road.
“The family were told maybe Jade would make it to Tuesday but after such a bad night that’s been revised to Monday and maybe sooner.
“She’s in a very bad way and has been in so much awful pain.
“They’ve given her a lot of medication and she’s been in a deep sleep most of the day and hasn’t woken up.
“But Jade’s getting weaker and weaker and is looking very pale.
“We all knew it was getting close when she couldn’t even raise a smile or give a thumbs-up when she was taken home from hospital on Wednesday.
She’s gone downhill a lot since then and everyone around her is really upset. Her mum Jackiey is in pieces.
“Everyone knew this was going to happen, but it’s still desperately sad.”
Reality TV favourite Jade is being cared for by a team of dedicated specialist nurses.
And yesterday mum Jackiey just couldn’t stop herself giving the carer who looked after her daughter overnight a huge cuddle.
Emotional Jackiey, 50, clasped the carer tightly before opening the gates to the house at 9.20am.
Behind her sunglasses Jackiey looked drained and exhausted. She couldn’t bring herself to talk about Jade’s worsening condition but was there manning the front door when two extra medics arrived at 11.30am.
In a brief snatched escape from all the stress, Jackiey later took a 10-minute afternoon trip to the local post office and supermarket to buy some lottery tickets but it was all too much for her and she burst into tears again.
She was then taken for a drive by close family friend, and Jade’s personal trainer, Kevin Adams to buy fresh flowers as a gift for the nurses.
More flowers, in the shape of two bouquets from well-wishers, arrived later in the day.
Farewell
Then came a moment of unwanted drama as two born-again Christians trespassed onto the property and shouted up at Jade’s window in an attempt to speak to the ailing star.
But the women were ushered away by a concerned neighbour.
The tension rose again at about 5.30pm when a man in his thirties arrived in a silver Audi and, carrying what appeared to be a medical bag, entered the house.
With time slipping away fast Jade has already planned her funeral, insisting it should be a celebration of her life.
She wants a traditional burial and a service will be held at a church near her home.
Jade’s spokesman said: “The funeral will be a reflection of how she’s lived in the last seven years—full on.
“She wants to say farewell to anyone who wants to be there. It will mirror the happiest seven years of her life.
“There will be tears, but a lot of love and laughter as well.”
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is making a dramatic dash from India in a bid to see Jade one last time before she dies.
The pair clashed on 2007 Celebrity Big Brother, but later became friends.
Jade was starring on India’s version of the show, hosted by Shilpa, when she was told she was suffering from cervical cancer last August. At first she was given a reasonable chance of survival but her cancer spread quickly.
Yesterday, there was no sign of Jade’s two sons, five-year-old Bobby and four-year-old Freddie, who are being looked after by relatives.
The boys visited their mum on Thursday with their father, Jade’s former partner TV presenter Jeff Brazier.
Knowing the situation, Jade discharged herself from the Royal Marsden Hospital on Wednesday so she could spend these final days at home with her loved ones all around her.
She has tried to keep life as normal as possible for her children, insisting that they keep up their routine of going to school.
A friend said: “Jade’s been incredibly brave and is just so pleased that she was able to marry Jack in time and be christened with her boys.
“Those were her final wishes so that she could be close to them when she’s gone.”
The boys and Jack are expected to spend all of today with Jade in a low-key Mothers’ Day celebration, remembering all the good times they’ve had—a week early because of her worsening condition.
:( this is getting even more sad, I too find it hard to read each update and the next one cant be good either :(

Jack Tweed said he feared the "fairytale could be over" when he was called urgently to Jade Goody's bedside.
The 21-year-old rushed to his wife's aid on Friday night after receiving an emergency call from the 27-year-old's nurse.
Tweed told the News Of The World that he panicked and was "absolutely terrified".
"The thought that our fairytale could be over already filled me with dread and sadness," he said.
Goody, who was told by doctors that her cancer was terminal in February, was discharged from hospital on Wednesday. A friend of Goody's said the family were told that she has just days left to live.
Because he was a bad boy and the curfew rules state he must be at his mother's address during certain times at night. He has had special dispensation to stay with her. Don't know whether it would be possible to get the curfew rules changed to Jade's address.
I watched the bride to be and wedding show on Living, Jade looked gorgeous :) It was a really beautiful wedding, bless her boys, they looked so cute :) - and lets hope these aren't her last few days.
Cancer-stricken Jade Goody told her young sons she will soon be a "star up in the sky" looking over them, her publicist said.
The reality TV star has also made preparations for her funeral which she wants to be a "celebration" of her life, Max Clifford said.
She was spending the day at home in Upshire, Essex, where her husband, Jack Tweed, and her mother, Jackiey Budden, were at her bedside.
A vicar was visiting for a small private service and to say prayers and blessings. Mr Clifford said he was not administering the last rites but added that she was "fading" and nobody knew how much longer she had left to live.
"Mummy's going to heaven soon," she told her boys, Bobby, five, and Freddy, four, when she came home from hospital on Thursday, Mr Clifford said.
"As you can imagine it was incredibly hard for her. She said she's going to be a star up in the sky so when they are looking up they will be able to see her and know that she is there, always looking over them. That's her way of dealing with the situation."
Goody decided to do all she could to prepare her sons after taking advice from bereavement councillors.
He said Goody first said she would leave arrangements for the funeral to other people. But she could not resist getting involved, chipping in with "I don't want that" and "This is what I want".
"She wants everybody to be there, with plenty of room outside for screens," he said. "She wants it to be a big celebration because it's her final farewell to everybody. She's the world's first world reality television star. It will be a very Jade Goody event, exactly the way she wants it."
The funeral is expected to see a cortege of cars drive through the streets of Bermondsey, south London, where Goody grew up. She will be buried in the churchyard of St John the Baptist in Buckhurst Hill, Essex.
Sounds like the end is near for Jade. I just hope everything is so peaceful for her.
What a hard time Jade has had today reading that article. She must feel heartbroken knowing she is going to be leaving her boys who she adores so much.
I hope when her time comes she goes peacefully, knowing she is loved by many.
JADE Goody’s young sons took flowers to her bedside yesterday in what could be one of their final visits to their beloved Mummy.
The angelic pair sat gently clasping the dying star’s hands after little Freddie had picked her a delicate daffodil.
But frail Jade — heavily sedated and exhausted as she nears the end of her grim battle with terminal cancer — then fell asleep with the lads still clinging sadly on.
A source said: “It was a real tear-jerking moment to see the three of them together at such a sad time.”
Earlier four-year-old Freddie, shirtless and with his painted face swathed in a giant grin, had plucked the daffodil for his reality TV star mum, whose condition had deteriorated over the weekend.
He played happily in the garden with brother Bobby, five, Jade’s new hubby Jack Tweed and the boys’ gran Jackiey Budden.
The kids and Jack all had their faces daubed with paint. Freddie had coloured Jack’s entirely black.
The family had been hoping for friends and loved ones to visit their home in Upshire, Essex, for an early Mother’s Day celebration.
But Jade’s spokesman Max Clifford said she was not well enough and spent much of the day asleep.
Instead, the boys were taken to her side after Macmillan nurses caring for the Big Brother favourite said she had only hours to live.
Mr Clifford said: “The boys went to see her and she was aware of them for a brief moment or two. She saw them and she smiled.
“She has put her house in order and faced up to everything in an incredibly brave way. Now we’re waiting for the inevitable. It could be at any time, we just don’t know.”
Jade, 27 — diagnosed with cervical cancer last summer — discharged herself from hospital last week so she could die at home.
She told the boys then: “Mummy’s going to heaven soon. I’m going to be a star up in the sky, so when you are looking up you will be able to see me and know I’m there, always looking over you.
“Mummy’s going to be up there looking over you. Close your eyes and you can talk to me.”
And yesterday when bewildered Freddie asked at her bedside: “Why are you so sleepy?” she gave the heartbreaking reply: “Because the angels are calling Mummy.”
A priest also visited Jade yesterday to say prayers and blessings. Father Francis, of West London’s Ealing Abbey, was chosen by the star because he had beaten cancer.
Jade is now so weak from her cancer that she can barely smile.
But she still insisted on seeing her precious sons as she slipped in and out of consciousness.
A nurse has told Jack, 21, and 50-year-old Jackiey that the next time Jade falls into a deep sleep she will probably not wake up.
A very close family friend said: “It’s over. Jade barely has the strength to talk. She will occasionally weep, but is too frail now to even squeeze her mum’s hand.
The nurses talk to her quietly and do what they can to control the pain. They told Jack that the next time she falls into a deep sleep she probably won’t wake up.
“Her disease has been so cruel to her — and everyone who loves her. We just want her suffering to stop.”
Jade’s condition worsened on Friday when nurses feared she had stopped breathing. Jack, whose parole curfew has been relaxed so he can visit his wife outside of his strict 7am to 7pm regime, was called at 11.30pm and rushed to her side.
Meanwhile Jackiey yesterday requested a Sun picture of her daughter, which she plans to hang in Bobby’s new bedroom.
It was snapped just weeks ago and shows Jade looking healthy and happy as she strolled down her drive wearing a huge smile.
Jackiey said: “Bobby wants a big boy’s room now so I’m decorating that. I want that picture on the main wall. It’s beautiful.
“That’s the way he should remember his mum.”
Jackiey added: “It’s not day by day now. It’s more like hour by hour. I’m stronger than Jack at the moment. Together, we’ve built a strong community to cope with it.”
But amid the heartbreak, defiant Jade astonished medics by blasting a nurse who she heard discussing her health. The star overheard the gloomy conversation as she lay in bed. And she yelled: “I’m not ********** dead yet, so stop that talk.”
Jade also displayed her trademark feistiness by ordering her mum to buy her a LOTTERY ticket and indicating her chosen numbers.
A family friend said last night: “Jade might be at death’s door, but she’s got some proper Bermondsey fight in her yet.
“She must have got angry about all the negative talk as she came out with a really fiery outburst.
“Then she told Jackiey she wanted to play the lottery.”
Jackiey, Jack and personal trainer pal Kevin Adams were all keeping a vigil by Jade’s bedside last night. A source said: “They know the end is near and want to be with her.’’
Thousands of messages of support continue to flood into The Sun.
Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty is also expected to fly into Britain this week to try to see Jade before she dies. They fell out during Celebrity Big Brother 2007, when Jade was plunged into a race row over her treatment of the Indian beauty.
The picture of Freddie enjoying the first rays of springtime sun is made all the more poignant by the Marie Curie Cancer Care Great Daffodil Appeal this month.
It urges people to wear the flower as a sign of support in beating the disease.

Jade Goody has reportedly made plans for her funeral to be televised.
The former Big Brother contestant has arranged for a large screen to be erected outside the church so that the service can be watched by fans.
Goody is said to have chosen an oak coffin from the Royal Windsor Forest and wants to be taken in a convoy of seven cars from her home to the St. John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, according to Metro.
The convoy will rumouredly include a Daimler used by the late Queen Mother, and a Rolls-Royce used by the Sultan of Brunei.
She has also chosen celebrity undertakers F. A. Albin & Sons from ITV1 documentary Don't Drop The Coffin and selected the hymn 'All Things Bright And Beautiful'.
According to The Sun, nurses have told husband Jack Tweed and mother Jackiey Budden that Goody "will probably not wake up" the next time she falls into a deep sleep.
"It's over. Jade barely has the strength to talk. She will occasionally weep, but is too frail now to even squeeze her mum’s hand," a source said.
"The nurses talk to her quietly and do what they can to control the pain. Her disease has been so cruel to her - and for everyone who loves her, we just want her suffering to stop."
