Christina's Brave Battle
While Christina Applegate's announcement that she's battling an early form of breast cancer shocked her legions of fans, insiders tell media that the Samantha Who? star, 36, is handling the diagnosis with fortitude.
"She is doing amazing and can fight any challenge life throws at her, “pal Lance Bass said.
Actor Barry Watson agrees, "I know Christina really well, and I know she will get through this with a positive attitude and a great sense of humor."
With a family history of the disease (mom Priddy had a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery when Applegate was 7-years-old and later underwent a hysterectomy), the actress is well equipped to cope.
Applegate's battle is her second struggle in weeks, as she's still grieving over the untimely death of ex-boyfriend Lee Grivas, who was found dead from an apparent drug overdose on July 1.
Jessica's
Trauma
Jessica Simpson has shockingly revealed that she has been the victim of physical abuse. The singer made the alarming confession during a recent interview with a magazine, where she admitted that a new song detailing domestic abuse was based on her own experiences.
The autobiographical track, Remember That, features the lyrics, “It doesn't matter how he hurts you, with his hands or with his words, you don't deserve it.”
While she refused to go into detail about the painful experience, she insisted, “I have definitely experienced abuse in a way, and I would tell people to take their heart and run.”
Miley's
Bawling
Miley Cyrus didn't take her split with Nick Jonas lightly. "At first I bawled for a month straight," she says. "I was so sad. I just went into this weird funk. And I dyed my hair black." While they were dating, "Nick wanted me to get highlights - and so I did that, and I got myself looking great," she recalls. "And then, on the day we broke up, I was like, 'I want to make my hair black now - I don't want to look pretty; I want to look hard-core. I was rebelling against everything Nick wanted me to be," Cyrus explains. "And then I was like, 'I've got to be by myself for now, and just figure out who I really am.'”
Kate & Lance:
Shock Split!
Serial daters Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong have split after just three months together, with sources saying they had a series of huge bust-ups!
The pair, who were first spotted together at the Cannes Film Festival in May, came under fire, after insiders whispered that Lance had started dating Kate, knowing that his pal Owen Wilson hoped to get back with the Fool's Gold star.
But now the pair have called it a day after a series of rows over the time they spent apart and Lance's jibe that she's “just too needy.”
“They both decided it wasn't feasible,” a pal told media. While another revealed that, although Kate travelled to Ohio for Lance's Live Strong Summit, the pair had a huge row, which resulted in Lance walking out on her - “They didn't talk for five days.”
