Fat Asian Baby

Something fishy is going on in the New York PR machine. Not that this is news. But back in late September, FAB suggested that the reason for Jerry Orbach's departure from Law and Order was that he was undergoing treatment for cancer (I didn't specify the type at the time) in New York. While this turned out to be untrue since he's currently hard at work on another L&O spinoff, FAB had it from a reliable source that our beloved Lennie did, in fact, have prostate cancer. So why was this yesterday's breaking news story?
