Christina Applegate, although a bit tired (contracts are flowing) was splendid in her canary yellow gown from Roberto Cavalli. She looked healthy and happy to be part of the ceremony.
Demi Moore was also wearing Roberto Cavalli, but in a much softer tone. It still looked luxurious and Demi, who ia now 46, looked stunning (as usual). This woman must have a youth fountain in her backyard…
We were all touched by Christina Applegate’s story, when this summer she was diagnosed with breast cancer and then had a double mastectomy. She is now cancer-free.
Before her, other celebrities went through the same ordeal and had to fight the disease. Among them, actress Suzanne Somers was diagnosed 7 years ago was treated immediately; pop singer Anastacia’s doctor announced her the shocking news in 2003; country/rock singer Melissa Etheridge got her diagnostic 4 years ago; pop singer Kylie Minogue got hers a year later; Sheryl Crow’s tumor was removed in 2006, as Sex and The City’s Cynthia Nixon chose to live her experience in private.
Actresses Shirley Temple and Olivia Newton-John, former First Ladies Betty Ford and Nancy Reagan, Sopranos‘ “Carmela” Edie Falco, even Shaft’s Richard Roundtree was diagnosed with the deadly disease.

Christina Applegate will be among the presenters at the 60th Emmy Award show, which will air on ABC next September 21st.
Other celebs, such as Lauren Conrad, Jimmy Kimmel and Kiefer Sutherland will also present Emmy awards that night.
The 36 year-old actress is considered cancer-free since she had a double-mastectomy after cancer cells were found in one of her breasts. At that time she decided she wouldn’t take any chances and would have both removed.
Shortly after she had been diagnosed with cancer, Christina Applegate had to undergo surgery, a bilateral mastectomy, which is a procedure performed to remove both of her breasts, so that the deadly disease wouldn’t spread through her body.
She still has reconstructive surgery to go through, but the 36 year-old actor is hopeful. She even made jokes about the outcome of her ordeal: “I’m going to have the best boobs in the nursing home. I’m going to be the envy of all the ladies around the bridge table.”
Applegate is scheduled to appear in Stand Up To Cancer, a one-hour TV special next September 5th, to help raise money for cancer.
