more Christina after the hop…

She told the magazine:

“I have a small but mighty support system and Martyn has really been an incredible part of my life,” Applegate told Us last May. “Without him, I don’t know if I could’ve gone through any of it. He came around at a time when there was a lot of loss in my life on many levels, so he’s been a really incredible help.”

This will be the second marriage for her (she divorced actor Jonathon Schaech in 2007), and has been open about wanting to have babies.

On July 1, 2008, her ex-boyfriend Lee Grivas was found dead of an apparent drug overdose. On August 3, 2008, People Magazine reported that Applegate had been diagnosed with breast cancer. On August 19, 2008, it was announced that Applegate had a double mastectomy and is now cancer free. Applegate is now scheduled to undergo reconstructive surgery over the next eight months. We wish her many happy returns and a speedy recovery!

Today in history: The British evacuated New York, their last military position in the United States during the Revolutionary War in 1783. Movie studio executives agreed to blacklist the “Hollywood 10″ in 1947.

Christina has a family history of cancer. When she sat down with Good Morning America and did an interview she revealed something no one knew yet. She had a double mastectomy three weeks ago! Yahoo! News confirmed the actress had both breasts removed and will undergo reconstructive surgery soon.

How many actresses – young and beautiful ones even – would admit they had such a procedure done? None. I can’t think of one who has said it publicly. Think how brave she is, to admit it in a Hollywood environment where your career is based on your looks? Courageous indeed. Good luck!!

Christina is lucky enough to have had an early diagnosis.    Applegate is 36 years old and has a mother who has breast cancer.  Rumor has it via Celebitchy that she may have been diagnosed months ago, but is just now releasing the news to the public.  Who wouldn’t want to keep this information private?

Her doctors say her prognosis is excellent and she will make a full recovery, as she is following the doctor’s orders for treatment. That’s good news!  Are you doing your self breast exams?  You should…it may make a huge difference if you do!

The National Enquirer broke the story with a source who says Grivas may have died of a drug overdose.

Applegate, 36, the star of “The Samantha Who?” and Grivas, 26, skateboarder and photographer had an on-and-off relationship mainly due to his drug and alcohol abuse as reports by the National Enquirer via LA Times.  The couple decided to give it another shot this past April when Lee made another attempt to getting clean.

Applegate, 36, The Samantha Who? Star said: “I am profoundly saddened,” Applegate said in a statement to Usmagazine.com. “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.”

Too young to die! May he rest in peace! Our prayers go to his family and Christina Applegate.

Whether his death is from drug overdose or not, I urge all our readers to STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS! They will lead to nothing else at the end but tragedies.
