Scott Baio has revealed that his wife, Renee, is battling a brain tumor and is asking fans for their prayers.
Baio wrote on Facebook, "Just a few days ago we learned my wife, Renee has a meningioma brain tumor. Although 90% of these type of tumors are benign they can cause serious problems depending on the size of the tumor and the location. We are waiting to learn the exact location to see if its operable.” He adds, "My wife is my rock. She refuses to even shed one tear, nor will she question God’s will. Renee, Bailey and I will get through this and along the way maybe help educate others to get checked out (MRI with contrast) as 6500 people each year, mostly women get these tumors.” The 54-year-old actor and his wife have been married seven years and have a seven-year-old daughter.

Two escaped killers are still on the loose nearly two weeks after breaking out of an upstate New York prison and one film company believes there's enough interest in the story to begin working on a show about it.
Johnson Production Group says it's going to start filming a show that chronicles the escape of Richard Matt and David Sweat, the subsequent manhunt and, if they're caught, the capture too. And the story will be told from the point-of-view of Joyce Mitchell, the prison employee who is accused of helping the inmates escape. The company believes they can have it all done in five months and hope to put it out on Lifetime.
