OK! magazine publishes Jade Goody tribute issue before her death OK Magazine's Jade Goody tribute issue (Leon Neal/AFP/Getty) Patrick Foster, Media Correspondent For fans of Jade Goody, OK! Magazine has been an indispensible source of information about the reality television star’s battle with terminal cancer. But today the celebrity magazine was accused of making a huge misjudgement after publishing a “tribute” edition that was billed as containing the “final words” of the 27-year-old former Big Brother contestant, before she has died. Goody, who was diagnosed with cervical cancer that has since spread to her liver, groin and bowel, is spending her final days in bed at her Essex home, where she is heavily sedated. A close friend of the reality television star told The Times that the magazine had “got it totally wrong” in rushing out the “official tribute issue”, which was printed with a black border around the front page and contains a sub-headline “in loving memory 1981 - 2009”. Related Links * Tweed called to Goody's side after panic attacks * Jade Goody confronted by woman with hammer * Our fascination with Jade's grim reality “All that was agreed was a tribute,” the friend said. “This is clearly an obituary. They got it totally wrong. It’s totally insensitive, it’s bloody disgusting.” OK! was granted access to Goody as part of a raft of deals, including two television programmes with the Living channel, to raise money for Goody’s two children, Bobby, five and Freddie, four. The 666th edition of the magazine, which is published by Richard Desmond’s Northern and Shell company, contains 28 pages of Goody coverage. The first page tells of how Goody faced “a long battle” against cancer. It continues: “But after putting up a fight it’s time for Jade to say her last peaceful goodbye. “As friends and family, including her husband, Jack Tweed, gathered around her bedside, it was also time for newly christened Jade to receive the last rites from her priest.” OK! is locked in a battle to stem huge losses in readership. The magazine posted a 25 per cent drop in year-on-year circulation for the last six months of 2008, in ABC figures released in February. It’s average circulation is just above 500,000, but a recent exclusive deal with Goody that saw the magazine print pictures from her wedding is thought to have sold an extra 1.3 million copies. The Press Complaints Commission has received complaints about the latest edition of OK!, and is making an initial assessment of whether an investigation is necessary. OK! issued a statement this afternoon. The magazine said: “OK!'s tribute issue is a celebration of Jade's amazing life. Jade's family have spoken to OK! today to reiterate that they understand the tribute issue and view it as being very kind to Jade. “They would like to also state that they are extremely grateful for the support that OK! has provided during this distressing period.” these are tributes for a person still alive May God bless you and keep you free from pain.My heart goes out to your two small boys and your husband and family.We are all very quick to judge. for a young woman you have risen above all the hateful things that have been written/said about you.Be proud of all you have achieved for your sons http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5934047.ece

~Am sure she was aware of it before it was published so if she didnt approve of it coming out now,it could have been held off . . By all indications,the end is almost near for her! ~I Just hope more women are aware about Cervical Cancer & are up to date on their Smear Tests . . Too bad she has to go like this & leave her Sons at that tender age every child needs a mother the most! http://www.bbc.co.uk/health/womens_health/issues_smeartest.shtml http://www.medinfo.co.uk/tests/smear.html |

I can't bring myself to feel sorry for her,sorry for saying so,but what's up with selling her death ? She was hawking her life for money and publicity,now she's selling her death. ( She gave OK rights for Burial,last moments e.t.c ). She says the money is for sons,but what if she wasn't a celeb ? And what happened to all the money she's made before. I even think her story has been exaggerated as a cheap ploy to sell papers - She's turned this into what she does best - A reality show. |

mohawkchic: Two weeks ago, my gyno mentioned something about a GSK vaccine against cervical cancer. Heard about it? What are the risk rates? |

spikedcylinder: ~Yeah i first heard about it when my M8 mentioned her daughter came home w/ a letter that required her consent for her daughter to be given the GSK vaccine in school . . . ~The Plan is for Girls 12-13 yr olds to be vaccinated in schools around the UK . . .it is hoped this will prevent the risk of them having the virus before they reach the legal age it is required to have the Smear test screening in the UK: Most would prolly be sexually active then . . an added risk in getting the virus! You prolly know most of this but it wudnt hurt if someone's reading that isnt aware ~By all indications of what i have read /researched i am not aware of any risks . . i didnt get any hits on Google either on risks about having the GSK vaccine ! Cervical Cancer -Glaxosmithkline Vaccine http://www.gsk.com/infocus/cervical-cancer.htm http://www.gsk.com/media/pressreleases/2008/2008_pressrelease_10071.htm |

Yea, the ideal age to get the vaccine is 12yrs old but I hear after you get your smear and its safe to get vaccinated, you can do so to lower the risks (significantly!) of getting cervical cancer. |
