Cancer-stricken Patrick Swayze is still battling the effects of his dramatic illness.

New photographs (similar to this one taken in May) of the actor at his New Mexico ranch have surfaced.

They show Swayze in a cowboy hat, jeans and jacket, near his pick-up truck, smiling and very active.

Swayze's cop show, The Beast, was cancelled two days before the photos. It ran for just one season.

Patrick Swayze has been honored with the Rolex Dance Award.

The Dirty Dancing star has been battling pancreatic cancer since the beginning of 2008 and recent reports suggest he’s close to the end. 

The thought of losing Patrick breaks our heart, so he better still be around in November when he’ll receive the award at a gala in New York.

Rolex Watch president Allen Brill says, “It is an honor to present the Rolex Dance Award to Patrick Swayze, one of the most recognizable American actors, dancers, and singer/songwriters of our time.”

Jessica Biel’s attempt to go deep and bare her soul – along with her breasts – will never hit the big screen.

Her latest film, Powder Blue, is getting the Jessica Simpson treatment and being banished straight to DVD.

Patrick Swayze is planning to write a memoir with his wife, Lisa Niemi.

While early reports claimed the book was going to be an inspirational tome, in The Last Lecture-vein, sources say the book will actually follow the actor’s life including his current fight against pancreatic cancer. The couple met in 1970, when Lisa was 16 and Patrick was 18, and they’ve been together ever since.

No publication date has been set for the book yet.

It’s so rare for a film to truly evoke or replicate the experience of falling in love and then, heartbreakingly, what happens when that love goes awry.

Delightfully, 500 Days of Summer is one of those extraordinarily uncommon gems.

Patrick Swayze, one of our all time favorites, has released a statement directed at naysayers and tabloids trying to drive him into an early grave.

“I’m very proud of the work I’ve done on my new series The Beast, and I am happy to be back home for the holidays. It’s a great feeling of accomplishment to say you’re gonna do something and do it,” says Swayze, 56.

F. Gary Gray's latest effort, Law Abiding Citizen, starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard Butler, is a knockout! Exhilirating, wry and breathcatchingly paced, it's a stellar accomplishment for everyone involved. Hell yeah you should see it!

Scott Hicks, the director of Shine, and Clive Owen teamed up for this gloriously beautiful if underwhelming project. It's not that it's bad, it's just not that memorable and with such supreme talent attached, I was hoping for and expecting a lot more.

Oh, Diablo Cody, why'd you have to do it? I love you so long...and then you made this. Megan Fox does what she always does, she looks hot. At least there's that. Sophmoric, unfunny and obsessively idiosyncratic, it's a painful movie going experience.

Chocolate and peanut butter. Spaghetti and meatballs. Bobcat Goldthwait and profanity. Two great tastes that taste great together. Gone is the Bobcat of the Police Academy movies and in his stead is a fantastic writer-director who's able to orchestrate the most brilliantly, hilarious vulgarity imaginable. World's Greatest Dad is a fantastic dark comedy (very dark) that features Robin Williams' best performance since Good Will Hunting. See it!
