Some very sad news for Christina Applegate.

"I am profoundly saddened," Applegate said in a statement to E! News.

This is shaping up to be not much of a year for Emmy repeats (unless James Spader runs away with it again).

My Name Is Earl star Jaime Pressly, who was named Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy in 2007, has been left off the shortlist of female laugh-inducers who stand a chance of hearing their names announced July 17, when the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences reveals all the nominees for the 59th Prime-Time Emmy Awards.

Meanwhile, the competition Pressly beat out last year has made the cut, according to another top-secret list obtained by the L.A. Times' Gold Derby blog.

Christie Brinkley has been through a lot—and she still has a lot to go through—but she hasn't lost her ability to empathize.

"I'd just like to say after two days of testimony that I can't help but think about Diana Bianchi, and I want her and her family to know that I feel really badly for them," the jilted former supermodel said after court Thursday, referring to the woman who was a teenager when she had an affair with Brinkley's soon to be ex-husband, Peter Cook.

"I feel bad for her and I forgive her completely."

Brinkley testified earlier today that she learned about the affair from Bianchi's policeman stepfather.

"Today was really difficult reliving all the horrors" of that time, she told reporters outside the courthouse.

Testimony is scheduled to resume Monday.

Ian Curtis wasn't around long but he left quite an impression.

Someone has stolen the memorial gravestone that marks the late Joy Division singer's final resting place in a West England cemetery, British authorities said Thursday.

Curtis, who was recently played by Sam Riley in the well-received biopic Control, hanged himself May, 18, 1980, at the age of 23, right before his band was about to embark on its first U.S. tour. The post-punk visionary's body was cremated in Macclesfield, where he grew up.

The more than 20-year-old stone marking the spot where his ashes are buried is inscribed with "Ian Curtis, 18-5-80" and bears the signaturely gloomy sentiment, "Love Will Tear Us Apart, " the title of Joy Division's biggest song.

It might be wishful thinking at this point, but Ashley Alexandra Dupré is going to try to turn the page.

Jennifer Aniston has resorted to taking the bus these days, and it has nothing to do with the summer's sky-high gas prices.

E! News has learned that actress is not just attending boyfriend John Mayer's concerts. She's gone groupie, joining him on his tour bus.

Mayer kicked off the U.S. leg of his summer road show Wednesday night, with Aniston by his side backstage. The couple arrived together at the 2008 Milwaukee Summerfest at the Marcus Amphitheater on his rig.

Maybe working for Steve-O has made his bodyguard forget that most people don't enjoy the occasional blow to the head.

A former security guard has sued the Jackass daredevil and his muscle, Reggie Pace, for assault and battery, claiming Pace punched him when he refused to let their entourage into a West Hollywood boutique last summer.

"It's all about getting justice," Joseph Barrett, attorney for the plaintiff, Roland Cano, said in a statement Thursday. "Steve-O may believe he is someone special who can make his own rules, but he will learn that the same rules apply to him. He can't hid behind his friend in this fight."

Dealing with the fallout of her husband's betrayal didn't feel like a death to just Christie Brinkley, it felt like one to her friends, too.

The erstwhile cover girl took the stand during the second day of testimony in her public divorce trial from philandering architect Peter Cook Thursday, testifying as to her confrontation with Cook and subsequent reaction after learning of his affair with an 18-year-old staffer.

"I just said to Peter, 'How could you?' " she said on the stand, making her testimony all the more poignant by choosing that moment to look at Cook head-on for the first time in the two-day trial.

What a tangled web we weave when first we talk about Madonna's men.

While the Queen of Pop, fresh off a happy and photo op-ready reunion with hubby Guy Ritchie, already took pains to disavow anything more than a platonic relationship between herself and Yankee star Alex Rodriguez, a blast from Madge's past is joining in the denial act, this time concerning a rumored relationship with Rodriguez's suddenly estranged wife.

"There is absolutely no affair between Cynthia Rodriguez and myself," Lenny Kravitz said in a statement today. "This is unequivocally 100 percent not true."
