Speaking Out About Cancer Battle
Filed under: Christina Applegate
Staying strong!
This Tuesday, actress Christina Applegate will speak out for the first time on ABC's Good Morning America since publicly announcing her breast cancer diagnosis earlier this month.
GMA anchor and breast cancer survivor Robin Roberts will conduct the interview. They'll discuss Christina's diagnosis and talk about what's next for the Samantha Who? star.
Publicity stunt for her new TV show or bringing awareness to a good cause? Probably a little of both!

Stay Strong !!! we love you
anyone that has had cancer knows you don't use it as a publicity stunt, you use it to raise awareness………. now that doesn't mean her publicist and agent, manager etc. isn't milking it for other reasons. but i could almost guarantee christina is not. FUCK publicity stunts !
Publicity stunt???? shame on you perez…the woman has cancer! She is very young and can bring a lot of awareness to young women everywhere who don't really see themselves at risk. Good for her!
your in my prayers
Do you really think she is in the state of mind to be doing publicity stunts. I had a cancer scare and that would have been the last thing on my mind.
BREAST CANCER AS A PUBLICITY STUNT?!!!?
BURN IN HELL, SATAN (PEREZ)
HOW COME SO MANY HOLLYWOOD STARS SEEM TO BE GETTING DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER THESE DAYS!
I wish her all the best. Kylie Minogue pulled through, so best of luck to Christina.
awh shes so brave.
I really admire her standing up and talking about it, ao many celebs wouldnt talk about it and jut brush it under the carpet. Good luck to her
Re: A-L-E-X – I second that!
You are a fucking asshole. You know, I don't see how you live with yourself saying the shit you do. Really? Talking about her BREAST CANCER for a publicity stunt? There's a chance of her dying and you think she's really thinking about doing a "stunt" right now? Get over yourself… really. The last thing anybody cares about is what YOU say. Seems like everything YOU DO is for publicity, stupid shit you say.. just to stir shit up when you really have nothing to say at all.
luv to christina applegate!
Yeah Fatass…..just like Bernie Mac was a druggie!!!
You're nothing but an mean, uncaring DOUCHEBAG!!!
Don't be a douchebag, Perez.
I'm a firm believer in frequent and vigorous breast exams.
Re: LettyB – it seems to be everywhere lately…. my mom, grandmother, aunt and bestfriend have all had or currently are going thru breast cancer, all in the last 3 years. seems unreal….
Yeah, that is the way to promote a show…
That doesn't sound like normal thinking! Who would want to get cancer to promote a show?
Sarcasm is nice, but one should know where the line between the acceptable and the unacceptable is!
Publicity stunt? Are you really that stupid, Perez, or is your head just up your ass? Do you really think it's easy for ANY woman to talk about having breast cancer, much less a woman in the public eye? How would you think it feels to be a female celebrity in this society which places such a high value on the "perfect body" and admit that you've had your breasts removed, leaving you now less than "perfect"? You're a real butt monkey if you think this is a publicity stunt, Perez. I'm sure this is the hardest thing she's ever had to do. Do NOT reduce this trauma to a publicity stunt, you ignorant fool.
she is beautiful…good luck.
Get Well!!
Re: hottie – I KNOW, AND I FIND PEOPLE WHO LIVE HEALTHY LIVES ARE GETTING MORE! SO I DON'T THINK THEY CAN TELL US ANYMORE HOW TO REALLY PREVENT IT! SCARY!
Hope she gets better soon…
Yeah, you're right Perez, she probably got cancer on purpose, just for attention.

She's totally right to be doing a public awareness message. So many women in their thirties watched her on TV as a teenager when we were all the same age. It's as shocking as a friend from Highschool having an "older" person's disease so young. She's very strong to go public with this, and I'm sure she'll save many lives due to early detection. Yeeeeeaaaaaaaah, Bundy!
Aw…she's my favorite celeb' of all time!
I'd personally like to volunteer to try and suck the cancer out!
Come on Chris - it's worth a try! Love ya!
Publicity Stunt?! Oh, of course, Christina isn't one of the hack hoes Perez obsesses over so naturally she's not genuine. Sometimes your ignorance is palpable, Perez.
Be good babe…
We love ya and you always made me laugh…
publicity? cancer is hell, not entertainment.
Are you completely fucked??? I can't believe you would think she's using cancer as a publicity stunt. I have to assume you say things like this to stir up anger and resentment in the comments. I can't believe you actually think that. I won't believe that. Because if I do, you're just another piece of shit.
Leave it to the biggest famewhoring pig out there to insinuate something like that!
perez everytime you say things like "publicity stunt" to celebrities i lose more and more respect for you, this isnt the first time u've done this ( lily alen , boobgate) but this time u've just gone too far, i've lost people to cancer and i've seent he suffereing first hand, she would never use something like cancer as a publicty stunt. HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE HER OF THAT. I hope you know that u've offended loads of people by the use of that careless line.
Perez, her mom had breast cancer too. Besides she and Jean Smart are already in the nom for best supporting actress for the emmy! She is raising
awareness. She has always been involved in breast cancer awareness ever since her mother had it. Love her show!
Perez how the HELL can you call cancer a publicity stunt?
You are such an annoying cunt I swear.
Yeah nice job "Hi Minka! Have fun with Katy at Madonna!" OK people…this is the desperate for attantion Perez letting you all know hes IN on the SCOOP and KNOWS they are going together because somehow this famewhore thinks that makes him important.
As I said before. Perez is a cunt and I am officially DONE with this site.
This comment about being a publicity stunt was the last straw. DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder how many people here are slacking off from work?
Perez, you're a fucking asshole! The woman has BREAST CANCER and you have the audacity to accuse her of doing this as a publicity stunt? My grandmother DIED of cancer….I'm sure her stint in the hospital with all the family around here was just a fucking publicity stunt!
You did the same thing to Bernie Mac when he was reportedly in the hospital, accusing him of being on drugs. I like what you do usually…but when it comes to cancer and death, you're a bit of a jerk.
"Publicity stunt for her new TV show or bringing awareness to a good cause? Probably a little of both!"
WTFFFFF??????????? You are a senseless bitch! Implying that she is only making Good Morning America for and talking about her breast cancer for a publicity stunt??? You must be really really sick and your life must be sooo miserable Piggy, I don't know how you live with yourself!!!! Really how can you wake up every morning and go on with the day having those horrible thoughts in your mind! You made me wanna throw up!
Perez,
Being told you have cancer shakes your foundation and brings you to your knees. Your life will never be the same. Instead of saying she is using this for publicity maybe you should ask readers to pray for her and send all the positive energy they can muster her way.
publicity stunt? do you think she WANTS cancer??? give me a break….not all hollywood is that shallow. christina…you fight girl! you're brave and strong for speaking out about this!
stay strong love.
It should be a wake up call for all Cheesetarians. Dairy Consumption and Breast Cancer are highly correlated and studies show that the protein CASEIN in MILK/CHEESE/BUTTER is the CAUSE of many forms of breast cancer. Check out the China Study and read for yourself. Countries that don't drink milk don't get breast cancer, so you can cut off your tits or reach for the Almond / Rice / Oat / Hemp and Soy milk/butter/icecream substitutes instead. People should know the risks. Research it for yourself.
