<p><strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/rob-lowe" target="_self">Rob Lowe</a> </strong>dishes about growing up with <strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/charlie-sheen" target="_self">Charlie Sheen</a> </strong>and shares excerpts from his upcoming book, <em>Stories I Only Tell My Friends: An Autobiography</em>, in the new issue of <strong><em>Vanity Fair</em></strong>.</p>
<p>&#8220;We competed to see who could play harder, then show up for work and still kick ass,” says Lowe of filming <em>Masquerade</em> in 1987, while Sheen shot <em>Wall Street</em>. “The verdict: Charlie by a nose.”</p>
<p>The &#8220;Parks and Recreation&#8221; star discusses Sheen in his early years in an excerpt from his book, calling him “one-of-a-kind&#8221; and “a wonderful mix of nerd … and rebel.”</p>
<p>Lowe compares his modest family life to the Sheens&#8217;, who lived nearby, describing theirs as a paradise filled with &#8220;never-ending Häagen-Dazs, brand-new BMWs, a lagoon pool with underwater tunnels, and a lit, professional-grade basketball half-court.”</p>
<p>Also touched on in his autobiography is filming <em>The Outsiders</em> with <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/patrick-swayze" target="_self"><strong>Patrick Swayze</strong></a> and <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/tom-cruise" target="_self"><strong>Tom Cruise</strong></a> back in 1983.</p>
<p>Lowe describes co-star Swayze as “as cool as you want, wearing tight jeans and a tattered, sleeveless Harley-Davidson T-shirt revealing his massive, ripped arms.&#8221;</p>
<p>He recalls his first impression of Cruise saying, “He’s open, friendly, funny, and has an almost robotic, bloodless focus and an intensity that I’ve never encountered before.”</p>
<p>The May issue hits newsstands on April 5.</p>

And while her agent confirmed that it was a "memoir," prompting numerous outlets, including Gossip Cop, to wonder aloud about what she might write about, we're told, at present, her ideas are "too broad now to identify what type of book it is," but it's definitely "not a memoir."

<p></span>Demi Moore</a></strong><strong> </strong>has been meeting with publishers in New York about selling a book she&#8217;s currently writing.</p>
<p>And while her agent confirmed that it was a &#8220;memoir,&#8221; prompting numerous outlets to speculate on what she might write about &#8211; be it her famous co-stars like <strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/Tom-Cruise" target="_self">Tom Cruise</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/Patrick-Swayze" target="_self">Patrick Swayze</a></strong>, and <strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/Robert-Redford," target="_self">Robert Redford</a> <span style="font-weight: normal;">or</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> famous husbands </span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/Ashton-Kutcher " target="_self">Ashton Kutcher </a></strong>and <strong><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/Bruce-Willis" target="_self">Bruce Willis</a><span style="font-weight: normal;"> -</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-weight: normal;">we&#8217;re told, at present, her ideas are &#8220;too broad now to identify what type of book it is,&#8221; but it&#8217;s definitely &#8220;not a memoir.&#8221;</span></strong></span></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;It is all too early in the process,&#8221; her rep further confirmed to <strong>Gossip Cop</strong>, adding that whatever form the book takes, it will be &#8220;something positive.&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow - it was a CRAZY week that started with the Interruption to End All Interruptions on Sunday night and closed with the Tweet to end all Tweets from the "Eclipse" set. Along the way Gossip Cop busted a ton of bad stories, went after some awful teenage upskirts, and paid tribute to a star who passed. See it all inside.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong> </strong></p>
<div id="attachment_4601" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 211px"><img class="size-medium wp-image-4601" src="http://www.gossipcop.com/wp-content/uploads/Kanye-Taylor1-201x300.jpg" alt="(GettyImages.com)" width="201" height="300" /><p class="wp-caption-text">(GettyImages.com)</p></div>
<p><strong>Swift Response</strong>:</p>
<p>Wow, the week started off with a bang, thanks to <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/kanye-west" target="_self">Kanye West</a> and his <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/kanye-west-was-swift-and-rude-to-taylor/" target="_blank">ridiculously rude interruption</a> of <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/taylor-swift" target="_self">Taylor Swift</a> at the MTV Video Music Awards. You’ll recall his outburst: “Yo Taylor, I’m really happy for you . . . but <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/beyonce" target="_self">Beyonce</a> had one of the best videos of all time,” leaving Swift speechless and the audience stunned. Well, Gossip Cop found out that <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/kanye-kicked-source-tells-gossip-cop-vmas-booted-him/" target="_blank">he was then tossed</a>, and security was notified not to let him return.</p>
<p>Gossip Cop was way ahead of the curve, reporting that Kanye was <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/kanye-west-still-scheduled-to-appear-on-leno-tonight/" target="_blank">still going to perform on the first episode</a> of “The Jay Leno Show,” along with <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/jay-z" target="_self">Jay-Z</a> and <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/rihanna" target="_self">Rihanna</a>, despite the controversy – and that he was also going to be a last-minute guest. We also had <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/video-kanye-west-tries-to-escape-new-york/" target="_blank">footage of Kanye escaping</a> from New York to California for his Leno appearance. The next day Swift was a guest on “The View,” where she recapped <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/video-taylor-swifts-view-appearance/" target="_blank">what was going through her mind</a> during the incident. “I think my overall thought process was something like, ‘Wow I can’t believe I won. This is awesome. Don’t trip and fall. I’m going to get to thank the fans, this is so cool—oh, Kanye West is here,” she said, adding, “Kanye West is here, cool haircut, what are you doing there? And then ouch, and then I guess I’m not going to get to thank the fans.” At the time of the morning gabfest, Swift said she hadn’t heard from Kayne, but right after the telecast, he made amends and “The View” released a statement saying, “[Kanye] spoke personally to the country music superstar via telephone and has apologized to the 19-year-old singer. She has accepted Mr. West’s apology.”</p>
<p>Later there was a report that <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/report-of-kanye-contemplating-suicide-sounds-off-base/" target="_blank">Kanye was possibly suicidal</a>, but that wasn’t true. What is true is that Kanye should steer clear of <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/pink" target="_self">Pink</a>. The outspoken singer, who tweeted after the VMAs that Kanye is the “biggest piece of [expletive] on earth,” didn’t let go. A couple of days later, while performing in Seattle, she told the audience that she carried a purse with brass knuckles and <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/pink-bashes-kanye-west-on-stage/" target="_blank">described the damage she’d have done to Kanye</a> had he tried a similar stunt with her. To quote Swift, “ouch.”</p>
<p><strong>“Sex” Encounters</strong>:</p>
<p>There were plenty of “Sex” tapes – and talk. Some of it wrong. A slew of outlets reported that <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/chris-noth" target="_self">Chris Noth</a>, aka Mr. Big, was engaged. But <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/chris-noth-set-record-straight-with-gossip-cop-about-engagement-rumors/" target="_blank">Noth told Gossip Cop it was “not true.”</a> He later texted us again to say <em><strong>OK!</strong></em> “made up a completely bogus” piece about him. “I have not said I am engaged. Until I do it’s all BS.” (While <em>OK! </em>corrected its error, not surprisingly <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/chris-noth-still-not-engaged-perez-hilton-still-wrong/" target="_blank">Perez Hilton later published the original, inaccurate report</a>.) Don’t be surprised, however, if Noth does get engaged in the not too distant future.</p>
<p>We also played <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/kim-cattrall" target="_self">Kim Cattrall</a>’s “Sex” encounters on video. OK, it’s not that tawdry but we had <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/video-sex-encounter-with-kim-cattrall/" target="_blank">great footage of Cattrall signing autographs and posing for pictures</a> with loads of fans in New York, and footage of <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/sarah-jessica-parker" target="_self">Sarah Jessica Parker</a> and Cattrall – in a tongue-wagging costume – <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/video-two-sex-and-the-city-stars-one-surprise/" target="_blank">causing an eruption of excitement</a> among fans and photographers.</p>
<p><strong>Relationship Wrongs</strong>:</p>
<p>There were reports that <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/mischa-barton" target="_self">Mischa Barton</a> was <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/reports-have-mischa-barton-o-c-ing-a-new-guy/" target="_blank">dating an aspiring actor</a> named <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/leon-wyndham" target="_self">Leo Wyndham</a> for more than a month, but it’s not true that she’s sharing her “Beautiful Life” with him.</p>
<p>The British edition of <em>OK! </em>tried to insinuate that it was <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/sienna-miller" target="_self">Sienna Miller</a> time for <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/josh-hartnett" target="_self">Josh Hartnett</a> after the two ran into each in a New York lounge. Somehow the two running into each other and kissing one another hello was <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/tab-wrongly-claims-josh-hartnett-is-having-sienna-miller-time/" target="_blank">turned into them “getting close,” “cosying,” and “canoodling.”</a> The truth, though, is the two are just friends – and that’s it!</p>
<p>In what seems like a desperate attempt to cover their tracks after having incorrectly reported last week that <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/jessica-simpson" target="_self">Jessica Simpson</a> was <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/in-touch-betrays-readers-again/" target="_blank">secretly hooking up</a> with <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/john-mayer" target="_self">John Mayer</a>, this week the tab is beginning to distancing itself from that story – and provide an out – with a pieced called, “John Betrays Jessica Already.” Regardless, both pieces are wrong, since Simpson’s rep told Gossip Cop that the two haven’t seen each other in some time.</p>
<p>Usually we don’t even waste our time with nonsense in the <em>Globe</em>, but there was a story so mean and inaccurate – “Travolta Divorce Shocker!” – that we had to deal with it. The story claimed, “<a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/john-travolta" target="_self">John Travolta</a> and <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/kelly-preston" target="_self">Kelly Preston</a>’s marriage has been so battered in the wake of their beloved son Jett’s tragic death, friends fear they’re headed for divorce!” Well, Travolta’s rep came out swinging, calling the hatchet piece, <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/travolta-preston-split-rumor/" target="_blank">“100 percent false” and “a very hurtful lie.”</a></p>
<p>Toward the end of the week was a <em>National Enquirer</em> story titled “‘Braveheart’ &amp; Cold Feet,” alleging that <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/mel-gibson" target="_self">Mel Gibson</a> is <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/report-of-cold-feet-for-mel-gibson-seems-like-hot-air/" target="_blank">having second thoughts about marrying</a> pregnant girlfriend <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/oksana-grigorieva" target="_self">Oksana Grigorieva</a>. We found it odd since we didn’t know there were any marriage plans, and his rep also said he had “never even heard of impending nuptials,” let alone his supposed second thoughts.</p>
<p><strong>Berry Clear</strong>:</p>
<p><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/halle-berry" target="_self">Halle Berry</a> set the record straight this week when she appeared on “The Jay Leno Show.” After the talk show host asked, “How do you always look so good… you always look terrific,” she thanked him and replied that it “must mean all <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/halle-berry-ends-pregnancy-rumors/" target="_blank">these pregnancies rumors can be, like, put to bed.</a>” The Oscar winner went on to say she was getting a “complex” from all the pregnancy talk, adding that she had begun to think, “I gotta stop with all the burgers or something.” You would have thought that would have ended the pregnancies rumors, <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/perez-hints-halle-berry-is-pregnant-despite-her-figure-comments/" target="_blank">but no</a>. Perez Hilton blogged the next day: “Not so fast, Miz Berry. We’re not convinced.” And where’s Fidel buried, Perez?</p>
<p><strong>Daisy Dog</strong>:</p>
<p>Shortly after <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/jessica-simpson" target="_self">Jessica Simpson</a>’s dog was snatched by a coyote, the star’s rep gave Gossip Cop some<a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/details-jessica-simpsons-dog-snatched-by-coyote/" target="_blank"> heart-wrenching details</a> about how the family “saw it happen” and “tried to go after, but the coyote took [Daisy] and went.” Incredibly, the next day, there were a number of outlets that were not only <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/search-for-jessica-simpsons-dog-reveals-bad-reporting/" target="_blank">unsympathetic but also insensitive</a> – and inaccurate, especially when reporting that Simpson contacted dog-finding service FindToto.com to help locate Daisy. “Jessica Calls in Experts to Aid Dog Search,” said TMZ, and Perez Hilton picked up the story and mocked, “Simpleton Calls in Doggy Experts!” In reality, it was the company that called <em>her </em>and offered their services.</p>
<p>And then there was “Daisy-gate.” Janet Charlton’s Hollywood claimed that Daisy was taken six days earlier than reported, when in the care of Tina Simpson, while Jessica was still out of town working on her new reality show. But instead of people blaming her mom, Charlton said, “although Jessica is beyond heartbroken, she is <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/gossip-cop-curbs-jessica-simpson-dog-tale/" target="_blank">covering up for her mother.</a>” We’re waiting for next week’s angle about how aliens abducted Daisy.</p>
<p><strong>Miscellaneous Mistakes</strong>:</p>
<p>Although Perez Hilton has learned how to cut-and-paste, he still doesn’t know how to read. In an article from the <em>Telegraph</em> that he lifted, it stated that <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/emma-watson" target="_self">Emma Watson</a> and <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/daniel-radcliffe" target="_self">Daniel Radcliffe</a> were going to be in the Guinness World Records book for being the “highest grossing lead actors of the decade.” But instead of realizing that Radcliffe’s <em>films </em>earned an average of $558 million and Watson’s <em>movies</em> averaged out to $753 million, “Scoop” <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/perez-‘earns’-an-f-in-reading-comprehension-logic/" target="_blank">Hilton reported that </a><em><a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/perez-‘earns’-an-f-in-reading-comprehension-logic/" target="_blank">they</a></em><a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/perez-‘earns’-an-f-in-reading-comprehension-logic/" target="_blank"> – the actors – earned that amount of money</a>. Nice try.</p>
<p>Then there was that odd <em>Star </em>story that <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/ozzy-osbourne" target="_self">Ozzy</a> and <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/sharon-osbourne" target="_self">Sharon Osbourne</a> “wear each other’s things all the time” because “Ozzy gets so confused about which clothes are whose, [so] he ends up just putting on the first thing he grabs,” including Sharon’s jackets. Simply, <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/tab-gab-ozzy-sharon-osbourne-share-clothes/" target="_blank">that story just didn’t fit right</a>.</p>
<p>The <em>Star</em>’s sister publication <em>National Enquirer</em> didn’t fare too well either. In a piece about <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/ellen-degeneres" target="_self">Ellen DeGeneres</a> titled, “‘Idol’ Threat,” the supermarket tab mistakenly claimed “Ellen <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/claim-ellen-degeneres-wants-to-knock-simon-cowell-from-perch/" target="_blank">doesn’t want the seat in the middle</a>,” but rather the talk show host “wants to be the last judge to offer an opinion so her words will be the final thing ‘Idol’ fans hear on contestants.” <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/simon-cowell" target="_self">Simon Cowell</a> is not giving up his perch nor, as the rag wrongly reported, is “she’s planning to make ‘Idol’ a “kinder, gentler show.”</p>
<p><em>OK! </em>had a <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/there’s-something-about-cameron-diaz-seth-rogen-rumor-that’s-superbad/" target="_blank">superbadly reported story</a> that said <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/seth-rogen" target="_self">Seth Rogen</a> and <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/cameron-diaz" target="_self">Cameron Diaz</a> are feuding on the set of “The Green Hornet.” The mag claimed, “There have been occasions where he’s flown off the handle for no reason, leading her to storm off set.” His rep told Gossip Cop that there was “not one iota of truth” to the story.</p>
<p>And the U.K. version of <em>OK!</em> wasn’t that OK either with its story that reported, “<a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/madonna" target="_self">Madonna</a> will perform a duet with <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/janet-jackson" target="_self">Janet Jackson</a> as a tribute to <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/michael-jackson" target="_self">Michael Jackson</a>… after bonding over dinner after Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards.” After hearing that <a href="http://www.rumorcop.com" target="_blank">rumor Cop</a> stepped in. <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/madonna-and-janet-jackson-duet-story-screams-inaccuracies/" target="_blank">There’s no duet scheduled</a>, and Madonna’s rep told Gossip Cop, “They did not meet at or after [the] VMAs.”</p>
<p>Then there was that vacant <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/lindsay-lohan" target="_self">Lindsay Lohan</a> rumor that she was <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/lindsay-lohan-bounced-from-hotel-story-is-vacant/" target="_blank">kicked out of New York’s Bowery Hotel after a fight</a> with <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/samantha-ronson" target="_self">Samantha Ronson</a>. According to Hollyscoop, while in a fight with Ronson, Lohan allegedly “threw a room-service tray at what she thought was her girlfriend’s door.&#8221; Must have been a pretty long throw because, at the time of the supposed incident, Lohan was in Austin, TX, working on her movie “Machete,” and Ronson was in L.A. Oops.</p>
<p><strong>Weekly Wins</strong>:</p>
<p>Among the “wins” for Gossip Cop this week was the exclusive that <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/jennifer-lopez" target="_self">Jennifer Lopez</a> and <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/marc-anthony" target="_self">Marc Anthony</a> were given a private tour of the White with their kids Emme and Max, and that while mom and dad <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/president-obama-sings-to-marc-anthony-on-birthday/" target="_blank">spoke to the president inside the Oval Office</a>, Max ran wild around the White House. Later that day the couple went to Capitol Hill, where they discussed education with the Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.  And that evening they saw the president again at the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s annual awards gala, where backstage before <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/barack-obama" target="_self">Barack Obama</a> spoke, he led senators and members of congress in singing “Happy Birthday” to Anthony, who was honored at the event with a Lifetime Achievement Award.</p>
<p>Gossip Gop was <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/websites-wrong-to-post-upskirt-of-‘gossip-girl’-minor-taylor-momsen/" target="_blank">spittin’ mad this week when a site posted “upskirt” shots</a> of <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/taylor-momsen" target="_self">Taylor Momsen</a> while on the set of “Gossip Girl.” Taylor is just 16-years-old, a minor, and those paparazzi, who focused their lenses to get an “upskirt” of a minor, should be ashamed of themselves. We <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/taylor-momsen-upskirt-photos-pulled-down-thanks-to-gossip-cop/" target="_blank">can proudly report that after we singled out a particular site</a> for its offensive photos – and sent an accompanying letter urging it to remove the photos because they are invasive and inappropriate – the blog took down the pictures.</p>
<p><strong>&#8216;Twilight&#8217; Highlights</strong>:</p>
<p>The week began with a ludicrous story by the Aussie mag <em>NW</em>, which claimed that <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/robert-pattinson" target="_self">Robert Pattinson</a> and <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/kristen-stewart" target="_self">Kristen Stewart</a> gave an unnamed U.S. magazine a joint interview <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/nw-is-no-way-accurate-on-latest-robert-pattinson-kristen-stewart-story/" target="_blank">about their “steamy relationship.”</a> Among the topics covered: the “shock love triangle” that nearly tore them apart, their “intense sexual chemistry,” and the truth about their marriage plans.  None of it is true other than the fact that they have sat down for interviews to coincide with the release of “Eclipse.” Then we <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/new-moon-rises-early-with-kristen-stewart-taylor-lautner-in-knoxville/" target="_blank">cleared up a little confusion about a showing of “New Moon” in Knoxville, TN on November 17</a> – three days before the highly anticipated movie opens nationwide. It’s a special, charity screening and just Stewart and <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/taylor-lautner" target="_self">Taylor Lautner</a> are slated to attend – no Pattinson.</p>
<p><em>OK!</em>, for the third week in a row, had <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/twilight-wedding-needs-to-be-left-at-altar/" target="_blank">a ridiculous “Twilight” tall tale</a>. This week’s cover featured a photo of Pattinson and Stewart with the headline, “Wedding of the Year,” and promised inside to have the “the scoop on the <em>big-screen</em> ceremony, plus what to expect when Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson really tie the knot.” Besides the fact that they are not engaged in real-life, as <em>OK!</em> had previously claimed, the article went on and on describing what the “Twilight Saga” wedding looks like. But the wedding takes place in “Breaking Dawn,” not “Eclipse,” the installment they are currently shooting. So how is it possible that they have the “scoop on the big-screen ceremony?” Wrong again.</p>
<p>Fortunately all these false reports <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/twilight-ticket-torrent-new-moon-selling-out/" target="_blank">haven’t affected ticket sales</a>. In fact, today is EXACTLY TWO MONTHS before the release of “New Moon,” and not only are online sales brisk, but the L.A. Times reported that the film “is <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/new-moon-is-exactly-two-months-away-and-selling-out-fast-than-any-other-movie-ever/" target="_blank">selling out screenings earlier than any other movie to date</a>.”</p>
<p>And then the tweet heard ’round the world. Tweeting on <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/peter-facinelli" target="_self">Peter Facinelli</a>’s account, Robert Pattinson typed, “Hi, it’s Rob … My first and last tweet. My dad made me do it.” Shortly after that, <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/robert-pattinson-tweets-peter-facinelli-gives-gossip-cop-exclusive-details/" target="_blank">Facinelli, through his rep, told Gossip Cop EXCLUSIVELY</a> that Rob “relishes his privacy, but we’re hanging out and he wanted to say hi to the fans.”</p>
<p>On a final note, this week we lost <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/patrick-swayze" target="_self">Patrick Swayze</a>, star of such films as “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost.” Swayze, who battled pancreatic cancer, was 57. Gossip Cop remembers Swayze as a guy who, while in the midst of opening his New York restaurant Mulholland Drive Café back in 1990, was <a href="http://www.gossipcop.com/patrick-swayze-dies-at-57/" target="_blank">gracious and kind to this one-time cub reporter</a> – and throughout the years. He will be greatly missed.</p>

<p><a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/patrick-swayze" target="_self">Patrick Swayze</a>, who will be best remembered for the films “Dirty Dancing” and “Ghost,” passed away today after a brave battle with pancreatic cancer. Swayze was 57.</p>
<p>His rep released the following statement: “Patrick Swayze passed away peacefully today with family at his side after facing the challenges of his illness for the last 20 months.” No other details were given.</p>
<p>Despite being gravely ill, Swayze began work on a memoir and shot the A&amp;E show, “The Beast.” Earlier in the year he discussed his life expectancy with <a href="http://gossipcop.com/tag/barbara-walters" target="_self">Barbara Walters</a>, saying, “Two years seems likely if you’re going to believe statistics. I want to last until they find a cure, which means I’d better get a fire under it.”</p>
<p>On a personal note, Gossip Cop met Swayze and his wife Lisa Niemi back in 1990 when he opened the New York restaurant Mulholland Drive Cafe. He was gracious and accommodating from our first encounter and every time we ran into him after that. He will be greatly missed.</p>
