Exclusive video: Tommy Chong quips ‘don’t tell anyone that I just got plastic surgery’

Legendary comedian Tommy Chong sure was in high spirits on Monday as he left a doctor’s office in Beverly Hills.

The 74-year-old joked that he just had undergone a little Hollywood refresher.

“Don’t tell anyone that I just got plastic surgery,” he said.

And in an unsurprising sound bite, when asked what advice he would give to people this summer, the marijuana activist listed smoking pot.

“Smoke a lot of pot,” he said. ”Support the marijuana movement.”

Tommy announced on June 9, 2012 that he was battling prostate cancer and publicly acknowledged that he used cannabis to fight the disease.

On July 15, 2012 he tweeted that the hemp oil he had been using to treat his cancer was working and that “he is 99% cancer free”

Something that will have you breaking down in tears

We always endeavor to leave the day on a good note with something cute or inspirational. But sometimes, things hit us so hard– like this clip from Eric McLean, who is only 28, and who has filmed a  poignant goodbye, after relapsing for the SEVENTH time with cancer.

In this heartbreaking video, he thanks his friends, family and doctors, saying he “fought to the end.”

McLean has been making video updates about his cancer fight for the past three years. He called his 109th video, posted Aug. 14, “Eric’s Confession Final.”

“We got some really bad news last week, and there’s nothing we can do. Ninety-six percent of my cerebral nervous system is cancerous. My sciatic nerve right now is being crushed by cancer so badly, I am in some of the worst pain you can imagine,” he says on the video.

This… shatters our heart into a million little pieces…

Adam Yauch dead at 47: Beastie Boys rapper loses his battle with cancer

Sad, sad news this afternoon…

Beastie Boys rapper Adam Yauch, better known to his fans as ”MCA”, has passed away.

He was 47.

Yauch was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his left salivary gland in July 2009.

“So this is crazy,” he said in a video statement at the time on the band’s official website. “I have some pretty heavy news … I actually have a form of cancer.”

In 2011 it had been reported that Yauch had beaten the disease, but he claimed these reprots were “exaggerated”. On the band’s website he wrote:

“Hello My Friends While I’m grateful for all the positive energy people are sending my way, reports of my being totally cancer free are exaggerated. I’m continuing treatment, staying optimistic and hoping to be cancer free in the near future.”

It appeared in recent months, that his health took a turn for the worst, and he was notably absent at the Beastie Boys’ induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland on March 14.

Yauch co-founded the group with friends Michael (Mike D) Diamond and Adam (Ad-Rock) Horovitz in 1979 as a punk band, before transitioning into rap in the mid-80s.

Russell Simmons’ website GlobalGrind.com were the first to report the news of Yauch’s sad passing
