Christina Applegate finally received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday. While the actress got all dressed up for the occasion, she was missing a certain accessory. That accessory was shoes.
After the ceremony, she explained why she was shoeless, “Barefoot. For some with MS the feeling of shoes may hurt or make us feel off balance. So today I was me. Barefoot.”
Applegate was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and is learning to live with it.
Can I just say I don’t think Applegate ever looked more gorgeous than she looked yesterday when she finally got the honor that she so richly deserved?
Christina Applegate, 49, revealed on Twitter late yesterday that she was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
“Hi friends. A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS. It’s been a strange journey. But I have been so supported by people that I know who also have this condition. It’s been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some asshole blocks it,” she wrote. “As one of my friends that has MS said ‘we wake up and take the indicated action’. And that’s what I do. So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing. Thank you xo”
I assume the friend she is talking about is her The Sweetest Thing co-star Selma Blair, who has been very open about her diagnosis with MS. Thankfully, she has someone to lean on during this time and vice versa.
This is not the first health battle Applegate has gone through. In 2008, she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. Hopefully, she will be as strong with the MS as she was with the cancer.
Before Christina Aguilera was playing to sold-out crowds, she was singing for free at the Monaca, Pa 150th Sesquicentennial. Even when she was just nine years old back in 1990, she had a voice that could bring the house down.
Before Christina Applegate was playing with boys on Married…with Children, she was playing with Pose Me Pretty Barbie. How awwwwdorable was the 11-year-old in that 1983 commercial?
Before Christina Applegate was the voice of a cat in Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, she had one and fed it Cat Chow. How purrfect was the 11 year old in that 1983 commercial?
