    Christina Applegate Opens Up About a New Health Worry After Her MS Diagnosis Was Ruled Out

    Christina Applegate has shared a new health worry on her podcast, saying she has wondered for years whether her breast implants could be affecting her health.

    The 54-year-old actress spoke about it on the Tuesday episode of MeSsy, the podcast she hosts with Jamie-Lynn Sigler. She said she has thought for around five years about whether the implants could be leaking and making her unwell.

    Applegate had a double mastectomy in 2008 after a breast cancer diagnosis, followed by reconstructive surgery with saline implants. She said she is long overdue to have them replaced, and now plans to look into whether they could be linked to the symptoms she has been living with.

    There is no confirmation that the implants are leaking or behind her symptoms. Her comments come only weeks after she shared that doctors had ruled out the multiple sclerosis diagnosis she received in August 2021. She is still going through tests to find out what is causing her symptoms, and she said coping with more tests while her symptoms get worse has been hard to bear.

    Camila Cabello Turns Her Dominican Republic Trip Into a Style Moment

    Camila Cabello has shared a fresh set of holiday photos, and fans are loving every look in it.

    The singer posted the pictures on Instagram on Monday, November 9, from a recent trip to La Romana in the Dominican Republic. The set moves through four very different outfits, and each one has its own mood.

    The look that got the most attention is a blue and brown bikini, worn with a wrap around her hips, the same sunglasses and a beach tote. She finished it with gold Cinta Huggie Hoops by Dean Davidson.

    The response has been huge, with close to half a million reactions so far. Fans filled the comments with praise, calling her pretty and a goddess, and one summed it up in capitals: GORGEOUS OMGGGG.

    Mikey Madison Shares Her Simple Beauty Secrets and Favourite Red Carpet Looks

    The Anora star has opened up about the beauty habits she swears by, in a new chat with Harper's Bazaar UK.

    She says her lipstick drawer has grown out of control, with a whole basket of sticks and liners in almost the same shades. She jokes she has a real problem, even though a few trusted colours would do.

    Her perfume trick is layering. She starts with a warm amber scent, adds something sweet like vanilla, and often builds the mix from low cost perfume oils picked up at Whole Foods, finished with a touch of Diptyque or Le Labo.

    She skips mascara most days because she does not like the feel of it near her eyes, and only touches the tips of her lashes when she wants a little lift.

    Her skin care stays simple too. She drinks plenty of water, eats well, and reaches for a little concealer when she needs it. At night she washes her face after settling her pets, three Chihuahuas, a cat and two donkeys.

    She also talked about her favourite red carpet moments, including the Anora premiere dress covered in tiny red nails, and a Dior gown by Jonathan Anderson from her second Oscars night. She admitted she felt very nervous presenting at the ceremony after almost a year away from public events.

    Her one rule for style is comfort. If an outfit does not feel natural, she does not wear it, whether it is a gown or silk pyjamas at home.
