Tammy Faye Messner moving to Kansas City, Kan.

Tammy Faye Messner has told “Entertainment Tonight” that she is leaving her home in North Carolina and is moving to Kansas City, Kan.

Messner is a Christian singer, evangelist, entrepreneur, author, talk show hostess, and a prominent American television personality. She is the former wife of televangelist, and later convicted felon, Jim Bakker. With Bakker she co-hosted “The PTL Club” from 1976 to 1987.

The entertainment-news television show reported that Messner’s husband, builder Roe Messner is building her “dream home” in Kansas City, Kan., to be closer his children and grandchildren, who live in Wichita.

Tammy Faye Messner is fighting colon and lung cancer, and doctors have stopped treatment. She’s been receiving hospice care since May.

Messner told “ET” that some days she doesn’t feel she can get out of bed.

“I would say I’m in pain almost 100 percent of the time,” she said in a telephone interview. “My back hurts, so I had to go to a wheelchair. And I have a very bad tummy all the time.”

1. She's receiving hospice care

and she's planning on moving halfway across the country? That hardly makes sense. Kansas City, Kansas is a good three hour drive from Wichita. Oh, well, I suppose someone like her is not fully rational at this point.

2. Will she live long enough to get her dream house built?

Hospice, unless they have changed their rules, only takes people who are expected to die within 3-6 months.

Poor thing. I really feel sorry for people in pain like that.
