Christina Applegate’s cancer has left the building, along with two old friends.

You can call it brave, you can call it smart, but regardless of what words you want to use to describe it, Christina Applegate has kicked the botty of cancer by having her boobs lopped off in a double mastectomy.

As selfish as it may be for her to deprive her fanbase of those fine assets, we do think that maybe – just maybe – her life is worth more than a couple of breasts. Not much, but still more.

Plus she gets to have augmented ones fitted now, that can’t get cancer and can shoot lasers and stuff. Maybe. It would certainly make for some interesting scenes in Anchorman 2: Tits of Doom.

Well isn’t this just the most depressing year ever. It’s raining all the time here in Blighty, and, to make matters worse, seemingly everyone in the world of showbiz is coming down with one illness or another or having accidents.

We’ve been told Bernie Mac is at death’s door, only to then be told no, actually, he isn’t, Patrick Swayze was then diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, then we get Shia LaBeouf and Morgan Freeman both involved in car accidents. And let’s not forget both Elizabeth Taylor and political commentator Robert Novak‘s recent turns for the worse.

Now it’s Christina Applegate‘s turn to join the celebrity illness pile, as it was revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Certainly 2008 is not the best year for celebrity health.
