It's him. I saw the video of it. He was smoking a ciggie just before he got out of the car.

My guess is that is what he really looks like. I know someone who had pancreatic cancer and they wasted away to skin and bones before they passed on.

Beckie...smoking is a hard habit to give up. Even at the brink of death. Believe me, I know. Is pancreatic cancer the same thing Michael Landon had? I think I remember reading somewhere that he also continued to smoke during his illness, right up to the end.

My mom was a chemo nurse and (after I had been on a rant about a guy I worked with who had non-Hodgkins lymphoma and was sneaking cigarettes) she said that they don't tell cancer patients to stop smoking. She said at that point the damage has been done and they don't need to put themselves through the extra stress it takes to stop. Still not sure I agree, but from the people I know, very few who get diagnosed seem to stop.

Yep, Yesitsme, that's what bils mother was told shortly after she was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer (it'd already spread to her brain) and asked if she should quit. Actually it was more like, "it won't help and you might as well spend the rest of your life happy as can be and not stressed."

I suspect he is near the end. The photo was taken of him going home with his wife and mother to his ranch. That is probably the last pic we will have of him.

He looks so different than he looked on that tv show he just did. Very sad, heart goes out to the family

Patrick definitely looks like he is in end-stage. I have loved his works and am sad we're losing another fine actor. I don't care whether he had a cigarette in the video or not. He is suffering from a catastrophic illness and all the "coulda, woulda, shoulda's" about smoking have no bearing on the state he is now in. All of us will eventually pass on, and I hope that we aren't so harshly judged.

I'd smoke more, not less, if I were dealing with his diagnosis. I wish him well, he has always seemed like a real gentleman.

Michael Landon did have pancreatic cancer as well. And I read he also smoked until the end. Its so sad to see Patrick looking so poorly. Very sad.

A dear friend and coworker of mine passed away from pancreatic cancer and she had never smoked a day in her life.

So my entertainment question of the day is: is anyone else as pissed as I am that TMZ published those pics of Rihanna? And then, other media outlets follow suit, but do so under the guise of criticizing TMZ! "Oh, we have to show you these pictures that TMZ shouldn't have shown you, but it's because showing them is bad." Unless and until Rihanaa wants them in the public domain, I think it's a good idea to respect her privacy. JMO.

I agree Tish. It shouldnt be enough to fire the employee that leaked them, they should be prosecuted and have the book thrown at them. If women or victims cant be assured of privacy, it is a huge failure. TMZ should also be fined for publishing illegally obtained photos. I wonder if they can be charged with receiving stolen property?

TMZ should also be fined for publishing illegally obtained photos. Harvey Levin ("I'm a lawyer!") has been doing interviews all morning and said in every interview that he obtained the pictures legally.

Perhaps someone in Rihanna's camp gave them to him. That is entirely possible. ETA: The police statement was that the pics "look like those we have" but they will not confirm that they are her.

Also, if the police gave a statement that the pics "look like those we have", I think it's safe to say that Rihanna was in terrible condition for sure.
