Paul Newman's Friend Denies Cancer Claims

The media circus over whether veteran actor Paul Newman is suffering from cancer continues, following an Associated Press report quoting a friend saying he has the disease, only to deny his comments to Access Hollywood.

According to rumors, the 83-year-old is said to be terminally ill with lung cancer, however, Newman's agent Toni Howard issued a denial saying the stories were "not true," with his spokesman Jeff Sanderson adding he was "doing nicely."

A.E. Hotchner, a friend and business partner of Newman's, was quoted by The Associated Press as confirming the cancer reports saying, “I know that it’s a form of cancer. It’s a form of cancer and he’s dealing with it.”

However, Hotchner is claiming the news agency took his words out of context telling Access Hollywood, "The AP misquoted me. I have no knowledge of Mr. Newman being treated for any illness."

The Associated Press states, "We stand by our story."

Andre Rieu: Why I love Australia

Dutch conductor and classical violinist Andre Rieu is an unlikely superstar, yet Australians flock to his every appearances by their thousands.

This week, Andre's newest single Waltzing Matilda shot up the Top 40 charts, taking out the No. 1 spot, while his six-CD box set, The Most Beautiful Melodies, sat firmly at No. 12 giving Rieu two CDs in the Australian top 20.
In Australia for a short promotional tour, Rieu travelled around Australian and was greeted by queues of, in some instances, thousands of fans.
In November, Rieu will hold three concerts in Melbourne where he will perform inside a full-size replica of Empress Sisi's Viennese castle. The set will take about 100 stage builders seven days - working 24 hours a day - to put together.
