Kylie has Cancer

Noticed that the local media here in the Middle East actually led the lunchtime news with the above story. What's the state of play back in the UK? Is it also making headline news? It wouldn't surprise me, but it is somewhat unusual for the media here to lead on such a story. Just curious..............

Hope Kylie gets well soon. She is a trouper.

Top Story on Sky News, Had a live with a Australian reporter at 10am.

Edit: 10:06am, N24 and ITVNC are reporting the story.

It seems to be the lead on all channels here. A bit OTT in my view.

No she's an international superstar, hope she gets well soon.

I agree. yes its a news story, and I hope she makes a full recovery, but thouands of women get breast cancer every year, she shouldn't be the lead story just because of who she is.

Two posts to this effect now! Do I spy a Kylie fan?

He should be so lucky...................
I am a fan actually.

Yes I definitely am a fan too, and she will be back very soon.

Top story over her in New Zealand on Sky News Australia and has been for the last couple of bulletins. I hope she gets better and recovers 100%

indeed, it wouldn't suprise me if this is being highly publicised to help her now flagging career.

Go away Sigmund! What flagging career???? If you are implying that someone would deliberately invent such a story for the purpose that you have suggested is nothing short of sick. Please refrain. This thread was started by me to discuss the news coverage of the situation. Not for acidic comments like yours above.

Now, anyone got anything else to add about news coverage of this sad news?

Wierdo...
