Christina has been cast in the new Farrelly Brothers movie, “Hall Pass”! The movie began shooting in Atlanta this week – can’t wait to see/hear more information about the film!

This may be welcome news to people like me who have Jennifer Aniston fatigue. After receiving Golden Globe, Emmy, and SAG nominations for her title role in the canceled ABC sitcom Samantha, Who?, Christina Applegate is segueing to film. She’s about to close a deal to join Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, and Jenna Fischer in Hall Pass, the Farrelly brothers comedy for New Line. Applegate will play one of the wives who give a hall pass to their husbands allowing them to have sex with another woman without consequence. Written by Bobby Farrelly, Kevin Barnett, Peter Farrelly and Peter Jones, the pic began shooting this week in Atlanta. The film is being produced by Bobby Farrelly, Bradley Thomas, and Peter Farrelly with Peter Farrelly directing. Applegate also stars alongside Drew Barrymore, Justin Long, and Charlie Day in the upcoming comedy Going The Distance, also for New Line. She is repped by Management 360, CAA, and lawyer Steve Warren.

Actress Christina Applegate says she wants ‘a couple’ of babies in the near future
Posted by: Jennifer | Filed under: Interviews, Personal | Comments: No Comments

Emmy-winning actress Christina Applegate has revealed she wants ‘a couple’ of babies in the near future.

The 38-year-old star announced a year-and-a-half ago that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer but now she said she is looking to the future.

She told In Touch: ‘You look at life a little bit differently. You don’t let any stress into your life, and you do a total 180 from where you were.’

Talking about the future, she added: ‘I want to work with Meryl Streep, I want to go to Greece, and I may want to jump out of a plane. And babies, lots of babies. Well, not lots of babies, but a couple!’

Christina Applegate “Did a 180″ After Beating Cancer
Posted by: Jennifer | Filed under: Interviews, Personal | Comments: 1 Comment

More than a year after she was diagnosed with breast cancer, Christina Applegate has a new outlook on life.

“Right away, you kind of go gung-ho — you don’t let any stress in your life, you don’t eat any crap, you do a total 180 from where you were,” she told UsMagazine.com at the EIF event benefiting the Women’s Cancer Research Fund in Beverly Hills on Wednesday. “You look at life a little bit differently.”

The Emmy-winning actress, 38 — who underwent a double mastectomy in August 2008 to prevent her breast cancer from returning — admitted that her perfect behavior didn’t last long.

“Then life happens and it eases up a little bit, but it’s always in the back of your mind that you get one shot at this,” she told Us. “So try to be as joyful and forgiving as you can, eat beautiful foods that come from the earth — not so much from other places.”

Her other tip? To laugh.

“I have to or else I’ll just cry all the time,” the star — who launched Right Action for Women to promote early detection of cancer through MRIs — said. “Laughter is so healing … I think that it frees up your body to heal, too. Humor has always gotten me through the toughest of times.”
