The Facebook post linked to a Hawaii News Now story saying that Chapman was admitted to the ICU at Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu.
"Please say your prayers for Beth right now thank you love you," Dog Chapman tweeted.
Chapman, 51, starred with her husband on the A&E reality show "Dog the Bounty Hunter," which ran from 2004 to 2012. The show followed Dog, the mulleted bounty hunter, and his platinum blond wife Beth, who formed a ferocious team with other family and colleagues and tracked down bail fugitives.
The show filmed in Hawaii as well as Colorado, and the two got married in 2006 in a season three episode.
The couple then starred in "Dog and Beth: On the Hunt," a spin-off that aired on CMT from 2013 to 2015.
They revealed during an A&E special "Dog & Beth: Fight of Their Lives" in November 2017 that the cancer had been removed, but it came back last year. She was hospitalized in April due to an accumulation of fluid in her lungs, and doctors performed an emergency procedure to alleviate pressure, the couple said at the time.
Despite the diagnosis, the Chapmans announced a new show "Dog's Most Wanted" would soon be coming to WGN America.
"My wife, the love of my life, is fighting for her life, and instead of being at home helping her, I'm out here looking for you," Dog Chapman says in the promo. "So I'm warning you in advance: May God have mercy on you when I catch you. Because I won't."
"You've been warned," Beth Chapman adds.
She has also kept up with fans on her Instagram page, and she posted a photo of herself on June 12 with the hashtag "#CancerWillNotBeatMe".
Beth Chapman raised 12 children with her husband and spent nearly 30 years in the bail bond business, her website states. In 2016, she was elected President of the Professional Bail Agents of the United States.
Dog Chapman first made headlines in 2003 when he and his son captured Andrew Luster, an heir to the Max Factor cosmetics line, in Mexico. Luster had fled from Southern California to Mexico during his rape trial and was convicted in absentia of raping three women after drugging them and videotaping the act, CNN reported at the time.
Walt Disney and Pixar's Toy Story 4 earned $118 million over its domestic opening weekend. That's way below the tracking guestimates of $150-$200 million and below Disney's $140 million prediction. More importantly, it's a pretty lousy (for a toon) 2.48x weekend multiplier. But, it's also a $118 million domestic debut, and the film has already earned $238 million worldwide.
It's the fourth-biggest animated opening weekend, sans inflation, right below Shrek the Third ($122 million in 2007), Finding Dory ($135 million in 2016) and Incredibles 2 ($183 million in 2018). It's the seventh-biggest toon debut when adjusted for inflation, also falling behind Minions ($115 million in 2015), Shrek 2 ($108 million in 2004) and Toy Story 3 ($110 million in 2010). So, what went... well, less right than hoped?
Truth be told, the comparative downturn (in terms of tickets sold) from Toy Story 3 was about what I initially predicted months ago. The tracking and the rave reviews arguably skewed pre-release predictions upward, and it's a little scary that near-unanimous raves didn't move the needle. No, I don't think the choice to not open the film on Father's Day weekend cost it all that much. It's not like movie-friendly Sunday was the difference between $120 million and $160 million over the Fri-Sun frame.
Despite rave reviews and decent buzz, folks weren't as interested in the fourth Toy Story compared to the second Incredibles or the first sequel to Finding Nemo. As you should know by now, fewer folks go to the movies just to go to the movies than they did in 2010. So, grading on the Netflix Curve, it makes some sense for Toy Story 4 to open closer to Minions ($115 million in 2015) than Incredibles 2.
Of course, Toy Story 4 is one of the only movies where we'd be hemming and hawing over a $118 million debut weekend. Almost every other movie opening this summer would be thrilled to earn $118 million total, let alone on opening weekend. Considering that the film is indeed terrific and marks the presumed final chapter of the saga and the last Pixar sequel for awhile (they've got Onward and Soul set for 2020), it won't exactly be a tragedy of the film ends up closer to Secret Life of Pets ($368 million domestic/$875 million worldwide) than Incredibles 2 ($608 million/$1.2 billion).
This is one of those odd situations where a big movie opens somewhat lower than expected, so it may feel both completely successful and yet oddly disappointing. Truth be told, I was surprised when Toy Story 3 "only" opened with $110 million in the summer of 2010, especially three months after Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland opened with $116 million and three years after Shrek the Third opened with $122 million. The critically-acclaimed Pixar sequel opened with $41 million on opening day and ended up with a 2.68x weekend multiplier, which wasn't great for a toon at that point in time.
It was a huge opening that still felt a little underwhelming considering the property, the reviews and the (up to that point) infamously mediocre summer movie season. But, like The Phantom Menace ($431 million domestic after a "disappointing" $105 million Wed-Sun launch 20 years ago), the much-anticipated sequel made its mark not by breaking opening weekend records but by displaying impressive staying power. The Tom Hanks/Tim Allen adventure played all summer, even alongside Illumination's breakout Despicable Me, eventually earning $415 million domestic (a strong 3.77x multiplier) and $1 billion worldwide.
So, as we discuss what feels like a slightly disappointing opening weekend for Toy Story 4, we should remember that the last movie performed likewise at the start and flourished after its "great-but-not-record-breaking" Fri-Sun debut. With rave reviews, white-hot buzz and little in the way of big animated movies between now and Frozen II in November, there's little reason not to presume rock-solid legs over the rest of the summer. Will it match the $415 million domestic total of Toy Story 3? Maybe not, but that wasn't the bar for success.
Obviously, if it legs exactly like Toy Story 3, then it gets to a whopping $464 million domestic and $1.192 billion worldwide, making all of this opening weekend hand-wringing glorified trivia. Even a run like Minions ($336 million from a $115 million debut in 2015) or Cars 2 ($191 million from a $66 million debut in 2011) gets the $200 million Pixar flick to $355-$360 million domestic. A run like Incredibles 2 ($609 million/$183 million in 2018)and Monsters University ($268 million/$68 million in 2013) still gets it over/under $400 million domestic.
All of that said, we should note that any arguments that Toy Story 4 may under-perform should be mitigated by the unquestionable over-performance of Aladdin. That live-action musical is currently racing toward $300 million domestic and $800 million worldwide on a $183 million budget, despite years of bad buzz, manufactured controversies and a weak marketing right up until the last minute. Money for Disney is money for Disney, whether it comes from Toy Story 4 or Aladdin, especially if both films make money in the bargain.
Assuming Toy Story 4 doesn't pull a Phantom Menace, it's arguably better for Aladdin to over-perform even if Toy Story 4 slightly under-performs. But for the moment, we're dealing with a $200 million Tom Hanks/Tim Allen/Annie Potts animated sequel that just snagged $238 million in its global opening weekend. Considering the likelihood of legs once word gets out that the movie actually justifies itself after the perfect conclusion of Toy Story 3, a box office finish somewhere between infinity and beyond is still on the table.
Duane "Dog" Chapman's wife, Beth Chapman, is in a medically induced coma, her husband has confirmed on Facebook.
On Sunday (June 23), the Chapman family released a statement on social media informing followers that Beth, the bail bondswoman who starred alongside Dog on the 2004 reality show Dog the Bounty Hunter until it went off-air in 2012, had been admitted to the intensive care unit at Honolulu's Queen's Medical Center. "Please say your prayers for Beth right now," Dog wrote initially on Facebook this morning, followed by an article detailing her dire condition.
Beth, who was diagnosed with Stage 2 throat cancer in September 2017, underwent a successful procedure for her condition that same year. However, the cancer came back and prompted the reality star to undergo another surgery in November to have a tumor removed from her throat. She was later hospitalized back in April due to an "accumulation of fluid in her lungs," the pair explained, which caused for an emergency operation to relieve pressure.
No further details of Beth's condition are available at this time. The latest statement came from Dog in a tweet asking for more prayers, whereas Beth last tweeted Saturday (June 23). The unfortunate news comes weeks after it was announced that Dog and Beth's new show, Dog's Most Wanted, would be coming to the WGN America network sometime soon.
We're sending our best thoughts to The Chapman family at this difficult time.
The "Start Me Up" singer, 75, was energetic as ever at Chicago's Soldier Field on Friday, where the Rolling Stones resumed their tour after postponing dates for Jagger's recovery.
Jagger reportedly ran all around the stage and danced up a storm for the 60,000-deep sold-out crowd. While he reportedly didn't directly address his health, he did tell the audience, "It feels pretty good!"
The No Filter Tour was slated to start April 20 in Miami before doctors told Jagger in late March he required treatment, reportedly for a heart valve issue.
"We love Chicago so much we decided to start the tour here instead of Miami," Jagger told the crowd, adding a shoutout to the Windy City's new mayor, Lori Lightfoot.
The setlist reportedly was mostly classics, including "Let's Spend the Night Together," ''Gimme Shelter," ''Brown Sugar," ''Sympathy for the Devil" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want."
Guitarists Keith Richard and Ronnie Wood, a respective 75 and 72, and drummer Charlie Watts, 78, were just as energized and enthusiastic as their frontman.
All the cities on the tour that were previously postponed are locked in, and there's a new date in New Orleans. A second show at Soldier Field, the home stadium of the Chicago Bears, is scheduled for Tuesday.
The coast-to-coast tour, which the Stones have said will feature classic hits, will include stops in Florida, Texas, Arizona, California, Washington, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Washington, D.C. Tickets sold for the original dates are being honored, but those who couldn't attend were able to get refunds by accessing their Ticketmaster accounts.
The first three Toy Storyfilms center on Woody's relationship with his kid, Andy. But while Andy was born in 1989, Toy Story 2 and Toy Story 4 both point out that Woody is a collectible toy from the 1950's. What was Woody's life like for the 40 years before he met Andy?
The movies do not explicitly state the years in which they take place, which makes the Toy Story film timeline inexact. However, references within the films can date the first movie as taking place in 1995. This means that Andy, who is turning six in the first film, was born in 1989. Woody and Andy were friends from an early age, so Woody and Andy could have first met when Andy was a baby.

Even then, however, Woody is a lot older than Andy. In Toy Story 2, Woody learns that he is a collectible toy based on the 1950s television show Woody's Roundup. Along with Jessie the Cowgirl, Bullseye the Horse, and Stinky Pete the Prospector, Woody is part of a limited edition set of toys that are rare enough to be sold to a Japanese museum. The black-and-white aesthetic always suggested the 50s, and this is confirmed in Toy Story 4 by Gabby Gabby. As a result, Woody would have lived thirty to forty years of his life before meeting Andy.

When Al tries to buy Woody at the yard sale in Toy Story 2, Andy's mother apologizes and takes Woody back, saying that he is "an old family toy." Andy is only around eight years old in Toy Story 2, and as his mother identifies Woody as a family toy, rather than her son's toy, that seems to signal that Woody has been in the family's possession longer than Andy has been alive.
In Toy Story 2, Woody remarks, "A record player! I haven't seen one of these in ages." It's unlikely that Andy would have had a record player in the 1990s, so this would indicate that Woody does have memories of his life before. It's likely that Woody was owned by one of Andy's parents when they were children. Some fan theories go deep into Andy's missing father, and hinge on the idea that Woody once belonged to him; because Andy associates Woody with his father, he is all the more attached to the toy.

The difference between his previous owner(s) and Andy is that Woody was Andy's favorite toy, and the connection that they shared was special. In Toy Story 4, it's the one that defines Woody's entire existence. Even though Woody's time with Andy was relatively short, Andy was the kid that was most important to Woody.
