Christina Applegate Reveals Guitar Hero Obsession (VIDEO)

Missy — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 11:21:06 +0000

Stars are just like the rest of the world when it comes to video games. Actress Christina Applegate found out the hard way about the repercussions of playing non-stop Guitar Hero.

Applegate is currently dating rock star Martyn Lenoble so maybe she wanted to see how it felt to be a musician. While taking a break on set, she played 25 continuous songs in her dressing room and ended up needing medical help.

Finding it hard to work because of head pain, Applegate said that she could barely do her scenes and that the producers let her take a break for a couple hours to get medical attention, including a CT scan. The diagnosis was an ocular migraine that ended up staying with her for 2 weeks.

Christina kept the cause of her headache under wraps from the producers but eventually revealed her Guitar Hero obsession on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The actress has reportedly given up the game.

Check out her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel below.

Christina Applegate Will Have Best Breasts in the Nursing Home

Missy — Tue, 19 Aug 2008 13:12:09 +0000

Samantha Who? star Christina Applegate received great news after having a double mastectomy. The 36 year old actress is now totally free of cancer.

Applegate took the opportunity on Good Morning America to tell the world that she is “clean and clear” of cancer. Christina was diagnosed earlier this summer with early stage breast cancer and because she quickly sought treatment, all is going to be OK.

“Sometimes I cry, sometimes I scream, it’s all part of healing…it’s OK to cry, it’s OK to fall on the ground and just scream if you want to.”

Not letting the mastectomy get her down, Christina will undergo reconstructive surgery in the next 8 months and is keeping a great attitude.

“I am going to have cute boobs until I am 90. I am going to have the best boobs in the nursing home.”

Applegate is the daughter of a breast cancer survivor and was smart enough to start getting checked regularly since turning 30. The blow didn’t come any easier for her.

We will all have an opportunity to support Christina and those who are currently dealing with breast cancer, as well as honor those who have lost their battle, on September 5th when NBC, ABC and CBS will air Stand Up to Cancer.

Suzanne Somers Open Letter to Christina Applegate

Missy — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:52:42 +0000

People magazine published this open letter that Suzanne Somers wrote to Christina Applegate. The Samantha Who? star was just recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

Dear Christina,

“Cancer is scary, and lonely. You can’t ask anyone to make decisions for you because it’s just too heavy. There is a lot of ‘rush to treatment,’ when what you really need is time to research and think about how you want to approach this. Take your time Christina, there is no rush. Take your time and think it through. Use you cancer to learn and grow and as a force to work for you. You might choose to take an alternative approach. There are more options than the ones presented to you in the oncologist’s office. You will make it. The success and drive you have had in your career will be the same strengths you will use to win over this nasty disease. And I am here if you want to talk to someone who was ‘there.’

Sincerely,

Suzanne Somers

Suzanne is a breast cancer survivor herself after overcoming the disease in 2001. We are sure that Applegate has been receiving well wishes from many of her friends and peers. Bitten and Bound also sends our best to Christina.

Actress Christina Applegate’s on-again off-again boyfriend Lee Grivas was found dead in his Hollywood apartment on July 1st. A neighbor discovered the body of the 26-year-old in his living room.

Applegate, 36, met Grivas, an Alaskan fisherman, skateboarder and aspiring photographer while in the middle of a divorce from actor Jonathan Schaech. The two have dated off and on since then, reconciling the last time in April. Grivas battled drug and alcohol problems and left Christina in a last ditch effort to get clean. The two were not dating at the time of his death.

There were no visible signs of trauma and the death was reported as a possible accident or suicide. A heroin overdose is suspected, however, no cause of death has been issued pending toxicology tests.

In a statement to Usmagazine.com, Christina said:

“I am profoundly saddened.”

“Lee was an incredible human being who was an extremely important and beautiful part of my life.

“He is missed beyond words,” she added. “He touched so many and I feel much sadness for his mother, father, brother, and all of his family and friends.”

Our thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends.
