Remember “Rowdy” Roddy Piper, wrestling fans?
Canadian professional wrestling legend “Rowdy” Roddy Piper has been diagnosed with lymphoma and will begin undergoing treatment immediately.
In a statement posted Monday on Piper’s web site, the 52-year-old Saskatoon native said doctors found a cancerous tumour on a disc in his spine. Back discomfort had forced Piper to leave World Wrestling Entertainment’s tour of Europe and return to North America two weeks ago.
“It seems like I have been fighting someone, something, someplace, in some manner, my whole life,” Piper said in a statement. “But this fight is one I am gonna win!”
Piper, who was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005, is married with four children. He was scheduled to tour Quebec and Ontario by train next week to help promote Wrestlemania – held next April in Detroit – and his DVD set, “Born to Controversy,” released Nov. 14.
Rapper Snoop Dogg was arrested Tuesday for investigation of illegally possessing a handgun and drugs as he left NBC Studios after performing on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” police said.
The 35-year-old rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, and two members of his entourage were arrested around 6 p.m. after a search of his Diamond Bar home and car, Sgt. Kevin Grandalski said.
Police seized a handgun and some illegal drugs, Grandalski said. He did not have details.
The sergeant said the rapper was arrested for investigation of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm, possessing cocaine, transporting marijuana and having a false compartment in his vehicle, Grandalski said.
“He was in a car pulling out of the studio” when police stopped him, said Donald Etra, the rapper’s attorney.
Etra said he believed Broadus was booked at the jail for investigation of being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. He made bail of $60,000 and was released shortly after 1 a.m. Wednesday, about seven hours after his arrest.
“As of this point, he stands innocent of all charges,” Etra said. “The goal tonight was to get him out of jail. The goal tomorrow is to deal with the case.”
The rapper was expected to be arraigned on Jan. 11, Etra said

Miss America 2006 Jennifer Berry underwent surgery for undisclosed reasons and spent the night in a North Carolina hospital, a pageant official confirmed Tuesday.
Berry, a Tulsa native and former student at the University of Oklahoma, was visiting family and friends in North Carolina on Saturday when she was admitted for surgery at Rex Hospital in Raleigh, N.C., and released the next day, said Sharon Pearce, a spokeswoman for the Miss America Organization in Atlantic City, N.J.
“I spoke to her today, and she’s in wonderful spirits,” Pearce said Tuesday.
“Although it was necessary to cancel some of her appearances this week, we are hopeful that she will return to work to fulfill her responsibilities as Miss America 2006 and continue the wonderful work that has marked her year of service.”
Pearce didn’t disclose the reason for the surgery and said Berry wasn’t available for comment.
Berry, 22, an aspiring teacher, was crowned Miss America in January, winning the title in the first year the pageant was held outside Atlantic City.
