Catherine O'Hara, who died a few days ago, was also battling rectal cancer, although her cause of death was listed as an embolism.
RIP James Van Der Beek

Cancer Sucks...48 is way too young. Hate this so much for his family and friends. Agree with the earlier post about his work in Varsity Blues...loved that movie.

Van Der Beek, Ali Larter whip cream bikini, Paul Walker, Somehow not yet hot Amy Smart. Booz, tits, football, shotguns, Trucks. We all hate our parents, we all hate our coaches, we want to bang our hot teachers.
What an amazing teen movie.

I’m 45 and colon cancer scares the shite out of me.
It’s now the number one cancer for people under 50
We were the test rabbit for the processed foods and excess sugar, and we’re seeing the dividends of it
