GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING SINGER JENNIFER HUDSON, TELLS CANCER TO STEP OFF.

Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C), a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation, and Genentech, one of the world's leading biotech companies, have joined forces with GRAMMY®-winning singer, Oscar®-winning actress, and SU2C Ambassador Jennifer Hudson for their latest campaign, entitled: "Two Worlds. One Dream." 
Debuting in July, the public service announcement (PSA), which will appear in print, digital, radio, and broadcast media, highlights the incredible work being done by today's leading cancer researchers and stresses the importance of supporting innovative research.

The powerful PSA, which features Jennifer Hudson and Genentech senior scientist Shiva Malek, Ph.D., notes the similarities between the worlds of art and science—reinforcing how much can be accomplished when we work together. The "Two Worlds. One Dream." campaign charges everyone—from doctors and scientists to artists to patients and survivors—to unite in the fight against the collection of diseases known as cancer, which take the lives of nearly 1,600 Americans every day.

"I, like many others, have friends and loved ones who have been affected by cancer," said Jennifer Hudson. "I'm proud to join Genentech and Stand Up To Cancer on this PSA campaign, which showcases cancer researchers as the rock stars they really are and highlights the importance of supporting their vital work."

"Stand Up To Cancer was built on the idea that people from different disciplines can come together in the hope of making everyone diagnosed with cancer a survivor," said Lisa Paulsen, co-founder of Stand Up To Cancer. "We are so grateful to Jennifer Hudson and Genentech for their invaluable support. This PSA champions collaboration, which is a cornerstone of SU2C, to inspire the public to realize their role in supporting scientific research that has the ability to transform lives."

"Stand Up To Cancer brings together some of the best and brightest minds in cancer research to collaborate in the fight against this terrible disease,'' said Geoff Teeter, Vice President of Corporate Relations at Genentech. ''We are excited to partner with Jennifer Hudson and SU2C on this campaign, and share the belief that progress happens faster when we work together.''

CZ JONES TO VISIT TO SHADDY PINES

Sarah Crow reported that after Michael Douglas "is on the mend after completing
treatment for throat cancer," his wife actress Catherine Zeta-Jones "is finding herself
in need of some expert care."


Gossip Cop reports that the actress has checked herself into a mental
health facility.


"After dealing with the stress of the past year, Catherine made the
decision to check in to a mental health facility for a brief stay to
treat her Bipolar II Disorder," her rep confirms, adding, "She's
feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her
two upcoming films."


In addition to her duties as a working actress and mother, Zeta-Jones
has dealt with more than enough stress in the past few years to merit
some much-needed time off and TLC.


In 2010, Zeta-Jones' stepson, Cameron Douglas, was sentenced to five
years in prison for drug-related charges, and only four months later,
her actor husband was diagnosed with cancer. In between the
devastating events, Michael Douglas was also sued by his ex-wife,
Diandra, who claimed she was entitled 50 percent of the profits from
his film 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.'


Sources report, "Catherine had a lot of trouble coping [with Douglas'
cancer]. She was chain smoking and drinking," although her rep has not
confirmed that her stay was related to substance abuse.


It does seem the actress is on the mend, however. Her rep says, "She's
feeling great and looking forward to starting work this week on her
two upcoming films."

She left the show after one season, due to contract negotiations that went sour.She turned to more serious roles in the 1980s and 1990s, winning praise playing an abused wife roles The Burning Bed and Extremities. In the '90s,She made cameo roles with her ultimate boyfriend, Ryan O'Neil on the Larry Sanders show and attempted a sit-com with her enduring lover called Good Sports.

Later.
