Breast Cancer Diagnosis for Christina Applegate
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Breaking News,
Saying the past few weeks have been difficult for Christina Applegate would be putting things mildly.
In early June, an ex-boyfriend of the Samantha Who? star was found dead after an apparent drug overdose. Now we’re learning that the actress has just been diagnosed with breast cancer. Coincidentally (?), Applegate was recently announced as a participant of next month’s Stand Up 2 Cancer telethon.
Today, the 36-year-old’s rep confirmed the medical report to the media:
“Christina Applegate was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer. Benefiting from early detection through a doctor-ordered MRI, the cancer is not life threatening. Christina is following the recommended treatment of her doctors and will have a full recovery. No further statement will be issued at this time.”
No announcement has been made so far as to how this may affect production on Applegate’s ABC comedy. Samantha is currently scheduled to return on October 6.

After spending a few days cooped up at Cedars Sinai Medical Center, Shia LaBeouf has finally left his confines for a smoke break, which was more than enough for the paparazzi to snag a few photos of him post-surgery.
Hollywood’s leading man has been quite the center of attention since he and his costar Isabel Lucas were involved in an accident early Sunday morning.

LaBeouf Reportedly Not to Blame for Crash
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Drunk, Legal Issues, Breaking News,
After escaping charges for being drunk at a Chicago Walgreen’s and for puffing away where he wasn’t supposed to, it’s now looking Shia LaBeouf could luck out again.
According to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, it appears the actor was not at fault for Sunday’s accident at all. Spokesman Steve Whitmore says the driver of the other vehicle actually ran a red light and caused Shia’s vehicle to flip. (You can see video of his overturned car here.)
But this isn’t to say the 22-year-old will get away without at least a slap on his injured wrist. Although he may not have been the cause of the crash, that doesn’t mean he wasn’t driving drunk. Officers report that he exhibited “obvious signs of intoxication” at the scene.
LaBeouf - who has not yet been arraigned on any DUI charges - is expected to return to the set of Transformers 2 within a month.

The Anne Hathaway Diaries
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Movies, Break-ups, Legal Issues, Breaking News,
Anne Hathaway, star of movies such as Becoming Jane, The Princess Diaries, The Devil Wears Prada and Get Smart, has had her personal journal seized by FBI agent investigating her former boyfriend Raffaello Follieri.
Just to be clear, Hathaway has been charged with no crime. Follieri is being investigated on charges of fraud, and according to reports the journal was part of the items taken out of Follieri’s Trump Tower home in a recent raid. These items also include photographs of Hathaway and Follieri.
Hathaway split with Follieri shortly before the investigation was made public and has been frequently seen in the gossip columns since. According to an unnamed source, the star will not speak with her ex. The same source has even claimed that perhaps Hathaway was behind Follieri’s arrest, saying it was she who brought her boyfriend to New York when he was safely ensconced in Europe.

Courtney Love, movie star, singer and widow of famous rocker Kurt Cobain, is being sued for failing to provide a percentage of her earnings from Nirvana’s publishing rights.
According to the five-page suit filed against Love, she entered into an oral agreement to pay 5% of her $19.5 million take - $975,000 to be exact.
The firm, London & Co., did not make it clear in the suit when Love sold these rights off. The paperwork could refer to an April 2006 agreement in which Courtney sold 25% of her Nirvana assets to Larry Mestel, a former executive at Virgin Records and founder of Primary Wave Music Publishing. Love’s 25% portion of Nirvana rights, by the way, was larger than the combined assets of Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic.
No one from Love’s camp has commented on the suit thus far. When Kurt Cobain died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1994, Love became the heir to 98% of the rights for Nirvana.

When Jack Black (accidentally) told everyone that Brangelina was going to have a ‘Brady Brunch’-esque family soon, the comedian apparently wasn’t joking. Angelina Jolie gave birth to another son and daughter via C-section yesterday in France.
Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline - who both weighed in around 5 lbs. each - make a total of three boys and three girls for the Jolie-Pitt clan. Brad Pitt and Angelina already have one daughter (Shiloh, 2) and three adopted children (Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3).
According to Angelina’s doctor, the surgery went smoothly. “Angelina is in very good spirits. Brad Pitt was at her side. He was there and all was well,” said Dr. Michael Sussman.
The Wanted actress is expected to remain at the hospital in Nice for a few more days.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Welcome Daughter
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Movies, Music, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies, Breaking News,
Just this past Saturday, Keith Urban let a crowd of 50,000 know that he was going to become a dad quite soon. At his concert in Nashville, he dedicated the song “Better Half” to his “very, very, very, very, VERY pregnant wife.” Turns out she was very pregnant indeed.
Earlier this morning, Nicole Kidman and Keith welcomed a 6 lb., 7.5 oz. baby girl. The birth came just over a week after the couple’s second wedding anniversary (June 25). Although the delivery happened on a Monday morning, the newborn was named Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. This is the actress’ third child; she has two adopted kids - Isabella and Connor - with ex Tom Cruise.
In a post on his website, the country singer addressed the happy news:
“Earlier this morning, Nic gave birth to our beautiful baby girl, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban. We want to thank everybody that has kept us in their thoughts and prayers. We feel blessed and grateful that we can share this joy with all of you today.”
If the rumors are true, Kidman may have more to celebrate in the months to come. Us Weekly recently reported that the actress’ best friend, Naomi Watts, is expecting her second child with Liev Schreiber.

Jamie Lynn Spears Gives Birth
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies, Breaking News,
Residents of McComb, Mississippi probably saw quite quite an unusual sight this morning: a throng of paparazzi trying to get shots of the newest Spears family member.
At approximately 9:30 a.m. today, 17-year-old Jamie Lynn Spears gave her parents their latest grandchild. The girl, named Maddie Briann, is (thankfully) the first child for Jamie and her fiance, 19-year-old Casey Aldridge.
All the members of Jamie Lynn’s family - including parents Jamie and Lynne, sister Britney and brother Bryan - were in McComb at the time of the delivery. (Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center is located near the clan’s hometown of Kentwood, LA.)
When mom and child are released, they will return with Casey to their new home in Liberty, Miss. Spears and Aldridge, who were engaged back in March, are expected to officially tie the knot sometime soon.
