Home > Drama > Former The Bill actor Ben Richards vows to be cancer free in six months February 9th, 2012 by Sarah. No comments 39 year old actor Ben Richards, who starred in The Bill and Footballers’ Wives, has vowed that he’ll be cancer free in six months. Ben broke the news that he has cancer – though he hasn’t revealed which type – via Twitter, where, he wrote, “After getting scariest news yesterday, I have to now postpone my LA adventure for at least six months. “I was born a fighter and will fight this.” He later added, “Great meeting with oncologist today, lovely guy, v positive, I was terrified he’d give me bad news.” Ben and his wife Helen have already had more than their fair share of tragedy, having lost four babies due to a rare condition which causes stillbirth. When Ben broke the news of his diagnosis, he said Helen is the “rock by my side” before adding, “Yep, time to battle the big C… “Prognosis is good gang and should kick this into touch in about six months,...

X Factor ends with the result everyone predicted, making the last few months even more useless

X Factor »     by Andy Dehnart / December 23, 2011, 7:11 AM The X Factor ended last night, finally, with Melanie Amaro beating Josh Krajcik, and third-place Chris Rene to win the show’s unbelievable $5 million prize. Melanie was eliminated from mentor Simon Cowell’s group at the top 16 stage, but brought back in one of those totally inauthentic moments that helped make the series a monstrous disappointment . (Remember how much promise the series had back when Fox aired two truly outstanding promos ?) The most surprising part of the conclusion was that her victory was announced eight minutes before the end of the second hour, which like the first hour was full of filler and performances such as Justin Bieber performing with with Stevie Wonder. That gave Melanie a chance to say nothing of substance and for her to barely get through the same song she auditioned with while the show’s awesome stage did its best to give everyone seizures. There was real-life drama behind the scenes, as thr...

Final Soul Daddy restaurant closes: America's Next Great Restaurant lasted two months

The final restaurant opened as the prize for NBC’s America’s Next Great Restaurant has closed. Jamawn Woods’ Soul Daddy opened May 1 in New York, Los Angeles, and Minneapolis, but just 15 days ago, shut down the New York and L.A. locations . Jamawn was surprised by the first two closings , and this one surprised his employees. One of its managers, Josh Furman, told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune , “We had permission to do more of our own thing on our own level. I didn’t see this coming.” The paper reports that “they were in the process of adding new items to the menu and developing the concept more in line with Jamawn’s original soul-food concept.” In a statement, Soul Daddy’s parent company, ANGR Holdings, said, “After careful consideration and a thorough review of its performance, we have decided to close Soul Daddy at the Mall of America. This was a difficult decision for us, as we wanted to see Soul Daddy succeed, but the restaurant simply was not performing as we had hoped. We’d l...

Richard Hatch gets 9 months in prison, will miss Celebrity Apprentice finale

Richard Hatch was sentenced to nine months in prison today, after being convicted of probation violation in January. The AP reports that the judge gave him “three months longer than the guidelines to deter him and others who would flout the terms of supervised release.” The Providence Journal reports that U.S. District Court Judge William Smith “ordered Hatch, of Newport, to surrender to the U.S. marshals to begin serving his sentence on Monday” and then “Hatch is ordered to serve 26 months of supervised release, requiring him to pay 25 percent of his gross income to the IRS.” While Hatch plans to appeal, this means he will miss The Celebrity Apprentice’s finale in May, and wouldn’t be able to return for Survivor this summer, if producers wanted to bring him back. (There were refuted rumors that producers wanted him to face off against Jonny Fairplay.) Update: Yesterday, Richard posted a note on Facebook that said, in part, “I have done everything ever asked of me by probation, b...

Survivor back to Samoa: crew hotel now booked for four months

Survivor will likely return to Samoa this summer to film its 23rd and 24th seasons, as the hotel that housed the entire crew and the show’s base camp last time the production was there is once again booked for the entire summer. It’s unclear what the show will call the season. The name could attempt to conceal the re-use of the country—perhaps Survivor Upolu after the name of the island—or acknowledge the show’s return there post-tsunami with a name such as Survivor: Back to Samoa. The hotel, Aggie Grey’s, now has no availability from May 16 to Sept. 16 . The specificity of the time that the hotel is unavailable, which is nearly identical to the time frame the production was there in 2009, is pretty solid evidence that Survivor is going back, never mind the unusualness of a single hotel being completely booked for the entire summer. I was skeptical about Survivor Skills’ initial report about a return to Samoa mostly because the hotel still had availability even after Jeff Probst said...
