Legendary film critic Roger Ebert has passed away at the age of 70, The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting.
Ebert had been battling papillary thyroid cancer since 2002, and though he lost his voice and his portions of his jaw after an operation in 2006, he continued to write movie reviews for the Times, where he had been a critic since 1967.
He had announced on his blog Wednesday that he was undergoing radiation treatment after a recurrence of cancer, adding that he was taking a "leave of presence."
"At this point in my life, in addition to writing about movies, I may write about what it's like to cope with health challenges and the limitations they can force upon you," he wrote. "It really stinks that the cancer has returned and that I have spent too many days in the hospital. So on bad days I may write about the vulnerability that accompanies illness. On good days, I may wax ecstatic about a movie so good it transports me beyond illness."

On Wednesday Gwyneth Paltrow had a book signing at Barnes and Noble at the Grove in Los Angeles, and we spotted hubby Chris Martin sneaking in a back entrance with the couple's two kids, Apple, 8, and Moses, 6. We can't believe how big they've gotten ... and how much Apple looks like mom and dad!
Gwyn is currently promoting her new cookbook It's All Good: Delicious, Easy Recipes that Will Make You Look Good and Feel Great, which focuses on cutting out carbohydrates and gluten.
"Life is about balance," Gwyn told the new issue of Self when promoting the book. "It's good to work in healthy food, whether it's five days a week or five meals a week. And if you're going to do it, it should be awesome food you're psyched to make. But never cut out the brownies or the wine."

Considering the past couple weeks she's had, we don't blame her for wearing blue!
Ashley Greene touched down at LAX last night, and the Twilight actress looked a little somber as she strolled through the airport, which is understandable considering her recent apartment tragedy!
The brunette beauty's West Hollywood apartment was set ablaze by a candle that caught fire with the couch, and unfortunately one of the starlet's dogs perished in the flames. So sad!
She was recently spotted hanging out with Ryan Phillippe, so if the rumors are true and she really is dating the Hollywood boy, at least she has a shoulder to cry on!

On Wednesday afternoon we spotted two of our favorite fashion forward starlets shopping at Bloomingdale's, and while we got a good peek at their outfits, they hid their faces behind their little brown bags.
So who were the camera shy cuties? They were once co-stars and they're both promoting movies this spring ... one flick is scary and the other has sex, drugs and guns!
