A publicist for British musical composer Andrew Lloyd Webber announced that the 61-year-old was diagnosed with prostate cancer, noting "the condition is in its very early stages. Andrew is now undergoing treatment and expects to be fully back at work before the end of the year." Back at work probably means back at work on his new Phantom of the Opera sequel, Love Never Dies, which is set in Coney Island, which he recently dissed by saying, "Of course, Coney Island today is nothing at all." Love Never Dies is expected to premiere on Broadway next November.

Don Imus, the (in)famous longtime morning DJ, announced on his radio show this morning that he has stage II prostate cancer. During "Imus in the Morning" (now on WABC 770 AM), he sounded optimistic saying, "I have great confidence in my doctors. I'll be fine. If I'm not fine, I won't be fine. It's not a big deal. The prognosis couldn't be better." The 68-year-old Imus said that he thought stress could be a factor, something he hasn't been lacking in recent years. He shared few details on his diagnosis or treatment, but did add, "The day you find out is fine. But the next morning when you get up, your knees are shaking. I didn't think I could make it to work."
