Having Cancer is No Gimmick

I hope that it is just publicity gimmick that Matthew McConaughey is now dating Kate Hudson.

You know, they have a movie to be released next month – Fool’s Gold – their reunion team-up on screen since the movie How to lose a guy in 10 Days.

Gosh. I’m just glad he dumped that Brazilian bombshell (Camilla Alves). Still, I’m jealous as hell of Kate to be in Matt’s arms. He he.

Anyways, going back to cancer. Having it cannot be anyone’s gimmick.

Cancer changes people’s lives in more ways possible.

Like this veteran congressman (Rep. Tom Lantos) that is now retiring after being diagnosed of esophageal cancer.

Lantos, a California Democrat, is serving his 14th term in the House of Representatives. In a statement released by his office, the 79-year-old lawmaker said routine medical tests showed he has esophageal cancer.

“In view of this development and the treatment it will require, I will not seek re-election,” he said.

Lantos retiring is fact not rumor.

But I still have doubts on the McConaughey-Hudson “union” as I haven’t seen any official statements at least from Matthew’s camp.

Could still be publicity gimmick!
