There has been significant backlash against this campaign in which pancreatic cancer sufferers say they wish they had other forms of cancer.

Pancreatic Cancer Action, the group behind the ads have said: “All cancer is dreadful and this campaign is not suggesting that anyone’s suffering resulting from cancer is worse than another’s. It simply expresses the real thoughts and feelings of many pancreatic cancer patients.”

The group has also said that their campaigns express “how it feels to be diagnosed with a disease that leaves you with no hope at all”.

Have a look and see what you think.

Charlie Sheen has announced his engagement to former porn star Brett Rossi.

Charlie proposed on Saturday morning and if these two love birds make it to the alter, it will be his fourth  – yes, fourth – marriage.

You’ve got to respect a man who just doesn’t give up.

Well, we hope this will spur his Two and a Half Men replacement into getting down on one knee for our girl crush, Mila Kunis.

Here’s hoping!

According to reports, Simon Cowell’s first words to his newly-born son were: “I’ve waited all my life for you.”

And we were hoping it was going to be “you definitely have the X Factor”.

Apparently the music mogul cried as he held his baby boy in his arms – so sweet! A pox on anyone who said Simon didn’t have a heart.

Baby Eric will have Philip has a middle name and it’s nice to see they didn’t go with ‘Simon’ after all.

One Simon Cowell in the world is more than enough…

Star of Juno and Inception, Ellen Page gave a deeply inspirational speech at the “Time to THRIVE” conference organised by the group Human Rights Campaign held in Las Vegas.

During her speech, which you can watch here, Ellen described her own difficulty with accepting her sexuality describing herself as: “tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission.”

Continuing on, Ellen told the audience of her wish to help others who may be going through what she went through: “I am gay … maybe I can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time … I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility.”

Ellen also spoke about the bullying endured by schoolchildren and her own suffering at the hands of media scrutiny.

Truly inspirational, well done Ellen!

Always making a stir on the red carpet, Naya isn’t afraid to take risks with her style, which can go wrong sometimes but we still love her for it.

The first dress is stunning, we love the colour block and train effect as well as the long sleeves which add a sleek and demure effect.

The second look is a classic monochrome outfit and the high waist black trousers look stunning on her figure. We aren’t so sure about the aqua heels though, the look would have been perfect finished off with black heels.

A daring daytime outfit this red and white combo looks great.

We cannot express our love for this skirt, chic and elegant we just adore this look on Naya. Although we do wish she wouldn’t cover her eyes with her hair.

It looks as if our favourite Scrubs characters will be recreated on the Broadway stage as the popular TV show is being made into a musical.

However, fans of J.D. may be disappointed to hear that Zach Braff will not be taking up his role on the stage production according to Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence: “Zach will be involved creatively because he’s a theatre lover like me, but part of the fun for us is that we would go with Broadway musical stars.”

Diligent Scrubs fans will know that music was always a big part of the series, from Ted’s A Capella group to the 2007 episode that was a musical so perhaps this idea of a stage musical isn’t so surprising after all!
