Daily Mirror: “I cannot bear to be alone – Jack’s Grief for Jade”

Is Kerry Katona single yet? Danielle Lloyd?

“Jack ‘will go to pieces’ if left alone” – Jade Goody’s husband Jack Tweed can’t bear to spend any time alone and is desperately trying to fill every waking moment with friends and family, pals said yesterday.

A source close to the 21-year-old added that as soon as they leave, he “goes to pieces”.

When he’s alone the newly widowed man goes to pieces. How do they know that, then?

Asked how he was coping, he simply shook his head.

John Mayer Dumps Jennifer Aniston To Write The Great American Tweet

JENNIFER Aniston, the luckiest actress in Hollywood, is said to have split from lover John Mayer because he was spending too much time on Twitter and not enough time with her.

A Twitter post is at most 140 characters. Either Mayer is not all that fast a reader, or else he was working on the perfect Tweet, what we may call The Great American Tweet.

A source tells Star magazine about Aniston, the world’s first Twitter Widow.

“John suddenly stopped calling her or returning her emails and when she would finally catch up with him, he’d say: ‘I’ve been so busy with work. I’m sorry I haven’t had time to call you back’.”

Jade Goody’s Two Minute Silence

Daily Mirror: “Fame-filled minutes are so pointless now”

Says Sue Carroll (Jade’s favourite columnist):

Nothing buys you more friends than five minutes on telly and it would be naive to suggest this isn’t seductive to impressionable kids who crave popularity and the prospect of riches beyond their wildest dreams.

Jade Goody Book Of Condolences

JADE Goody: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s death

Daily Express: “My beautiful Jade is at peace”

The Sun: “At Peace on Mother’s Day”

“Her two beloved boys lost their mum”
“Her mum lost her beautiful daughter”

A grandfather loses a granddaughter; a cousin loses a cousin; a postman loses a …

Read about how beautiful the Sun thought Jade was here.

The Sun: “Mummy’s in heaven now”

After days of wondering how Jade would tell her sons she was dying (see front-page news), the Sun finally realises they might be able to read and speaks directly to them.

JADE’S two little boys woke up on Mother’s Day excitedly expecting to give her cards they had made — only to be gently told she had gone to Heaven.

Jade Goody The ‘Pig’ Is Dead

JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with Jade’s obituary…

The Sun: “She thought Rio De Janeiro was a person and ‘East Angular’ was a place in Africa”

JADE’S childlike innocence and hilarious blunders charmed the nation when she first shot to fame on Big Brother 3… Her fellow housemates, and a growing TV audience, mocked her for her ignorance

And the press… What did they say, specifically The Sun?

The Sun called her a hippo, then a baboon, before launching its campaign to “vote out the pig”.

The caring Sun…

TODAY Bizarre speaks its mind and urges readers to vote JADE out of the Big Brother house. The pig with the biggest mouth on TV has finally been nominated for eviction – and now YOU have the power to roast her.

Jade has few redeeming qualities and her housemates have at last become aware of her bitchiness and backbiting.

About time too…

She doesn’t deserve to win the £70,000 prize and you can help stop her getting her trotters on it…

I urge you to exercise your democratic right and vote the pig out.

The Sun: “Mum was a lesbian, Dad was a drug addict burglar who hid guns under her cot”

Or you can smile, as she always tried to do, remembering that the world was not quite ready for the brash, boisterous, guileless young woman who burst on to our TV screens seven years ago… and heaven is almost certainly not ready either.

Anorak recalls Graham Norton building his entire post-Big Brother show around the “porcine” Goody.

Daily Telegraph:

The first time she was mentioned in the press, in May 2002, Jade Goody was described as a “pretty dental nurse, 20, from London”. But 24 hours later, as she began her gobby, ignorant trajectory in the Big Brother house, The People went on the attack under the headline: “Why we must lob the gob”. Before long it was open season.  The Sunday Mirror rejected porcine comparisons on the ground that it was “insulting – to pigs”.

Inside the “BB” house, Jade Goody found herself in bed with her male housemate, PJ, who ran away, shrieking.

After getting a blow job. And, no. he wasn’t running. He was in bed.

Her drunken striptease in a drinking game rigged by the male contestants (“Me kebab is showing!”) forced even Channel 4 to blank the screen.

An “I was there” moment of telly viewing. Jade Goody was entertaining. She was on the telly.

“Here she is: fat-rolled, Michelin girl Jade in all her preposterous lack of glory,” thundered the Daily Mirror the next day. “Naked as the day Dr Frankenstein made her.” Jade’s then boyfriend chipped in: “She’s a sex-crazed, lying, two-timing drunken tart, and I hope I never see her again.”

And her dad, who died:

There was also plenty of clapping and cheering for Jade in Bedford jail, where her father Andrew Goody is serving four years for robbery and theft.

He tells the Star of his heartbreak at ”the cruel jibes and abuse” he suffered when the other inmates were glued to Jade’s antics.

”When she was with PJ, every cell door in the jail was banging in time and I wanted to hide and lash out,” he recalls with a shudder. ”It was twice the noise they made when England scored in the World Cup.

Jade Goody A Reader Apology: Exclusive To All Newspapers

Jade Goody is dead. A woman died today. A woman of just 27 years of age with two children died today. And that is tragic. And for all the grandstanding, she might yet save a life…

RIP.

Jade Goody Number Plate For Sale And Jade’s Burial Plot Busy

JADE Goody celebrity cancer: Anorak’s at-a-glance look at Jade Goody’s celebrity cancer with Jade’s num,ber plate, no room at the plot and nurse rage…

Press Association: “Nurse car vandalised at Goody home”

Police have been called to the home of Jade Goody after a car belonging to a nurse caring for the terminally-ill reality TV star was damaged, apparently by vandals.

Officers said they were called shortly before 7am and told a Toyota Yaris parked outside Goody’s home in Upshire, Essex had been dented and had a window smashed.

Fore!

Witnesses said the car belonged to a Marie Curie nurse who was looking after Goody.

Sify: “No room in cemetery for dying Jade Goody”

Cancer-stricken British reality TV star Jade Goody’s wish to be buried in a flower-filled churchyard near her home after her death has been dashed because of lack of space in the cemetery.

The Big Brother star had requested a plot at St John The Baptist Church in Buckhurst Hill, Essex. But it has now emerged that the graveyard is already full…

“Unfortunately St John’s is full, so she cannot be buried there. All the parties will be trying to arrange (a place) close by,” said Goody’s publicist Max Clifford.

Can’t someone be moved? It’s for Jade, after all… Tsk!

This Is Bristol: “Builder’s ‘J Goody’ number plates to raise cash for star’s sons”

A builder from Downend is selling his personalised “J Goody” number plates to raise money for terminally ill Jade Goody’s children.

Jason Goodfield, 22, bought the J600 DYY plates five years ago for £250 because his nickname is Goody.

Anyone else see J Goody?

He has now put them up for sale on an internet auction site with a reserve price of £10,000, and will donate half the cash to the Big Brother star’s two sons.

Number plates – see: Big Brother’s Jade Goody Goes To Jail – Like Paris Hilton.

Jason, who is engaged with an 8-month-old son called Jake, said: “I have been reading about Jade’s battle with cancer and I recently had a little boy myself, so I feel really sorry for her kids being left without a mum at such a young age. Hopefully this money will help them out a bit.”

Jade Goody is alive…

Westboro Baptist Church Curses Natasha Richardson

A MOTHER of two young sons died this week in a tragedy that should never have happened.

Where, Lorraine, where..?

But this wasn’t the sadly inevitable death of poor Jade Goody, who could perhaps have beaten cervical cancer if it had been caught and treated in time. No. This was the truly shocking demise of Natasha Richardson, beloved wife of Liam Neeson, who was fatally injured in a skiing accident.

Jade. Richardson. Cancer on skis!

Natasha Richardson’s Last Song

NATASHA Richardson has died. And because Star Dies is better story than Star Lives, the media is awfully excited:

Daily Mail: ““MY DARLING NATASHA – The haunting open letter Vanessa Redgrave wrote to her tragic daughter”

The 72-year-old matriarch of the Redgrave dynasty had tenderly stroked her daughter’s face as she softly sang the melody from The Sound Of Music.

It was the same song she had performed for her daughter’s first marriage to Robert Fox in 1990.

As the caring, tender Mail told readers yesterday, that was the marriage hit by the Curse of The Redgraaaaves.

This will be the final resting place for Jade Goody – a flower-filled churchyard that echoes to the sound of happy playing children.

Anyone of you been to a churchyard echoing to the sound of anything but grumbling old ladies and emptiness?

The tranquil graveyard, which is expected to become a place where fans can pay their respects to the reality TV star, sits next to the local Church of England School.

Jade Goody is dying and it’s is the media’s job to comment on it. Writing in the Guardian, Michael White criticises the mawkish tabloid coverage while playing a game of Tabloid Bingo!:

Under the headline: “Growing mood of public sentimentality worries me more than recession”

Different things trouble different people. I’m more worried by the recession and by global warming than by street crime, about which I can take sensible micro-precautions if I feel like it.

Unless they read the Mirror.

Jade’s battle has seen the nation take her to its hearts – and may also save thousands of young women’s lives by raising awareness of cervical cancer.

Yesterday, 50 campaigners handed a petition to Downing Street demanding the age for regular smear tests be lowered from 25 to 20, a crusade the courageous star has backed.
