SNL's Chris Kattan Separates From Wife of Eight Weeks

There's really no way to sugarcoat this.

Saturday Night Live's Chris Kattan and his wife, Sunshine Tutt, have separated after only being married for eight weeks.

Eight weeks! That's got to be a pretty bad two months.

But, there's still hope for the funny man and his bright light, as his rep told UsMagazine.com that the couple are just "separated for the moment. No plans for divorce at this time."

What's really strange is that they were engaged for over a year -- what happened in the last two months that made them think getting hitched may not have been the best idea?

Christina Applegate Cancer Free -- Had Double Mastectomy

Wow!

 A very brave Christina Applegate has undergone a double mastectomy to rid herself of any chances she would have to deal with breast cancer again in the future.

"Sometimes I cry. Sometimes I scream, and I get really angry and I get really into wallowing in self-pity sometimes, and I think it?s all part of healing," she admitted of having the surgery. But the actress, who announced earlier this month that she was battling the disease, can say now that she is "100%" free of cancer.

"I'm clear," the Samantha Who star told Good Morning America in an interview airing Tuesday. "Absolutely 100 percent clear and clean. It did not spread. They got everything out, so I'm definitely not going to die from breast cancer."

Such a relief for Christina, who opened up to GMA about how she initially reacted to the diagnosis.

"I was so mad," she admitted. "I was just shaking and - and then also immediately, I had to go into... 'take-care-of-business-mode,' which was ... I asked them, 'What do I do now? What - what is it that I do? I get a doctor, I get a surgeon, I get an oncologist? What do I do?"

The actress' mom also had breast cancer, which led to mastectomy, when Christina was just a kid. Having the family history, Christina did what she was supposed to, and began getting mammograms at age 30.

Pretty smart -- because it probably just saved her life.

"I watched her have a mastectomy, and then I watched her go through two years of chemotherapy and eight surgeries and a hysterectomy," Christina said of her mom, who she called "a quiet warrior. I've watched this woman survive both of those things, so for me there was always that sense that I was going to be okay, no matter what."

As for reconstructive surgery she'll undergo over the next few months, Christina has managed to keep her sense of humor. "I'm gonna have cute boobs till I'm 90."

I'm so blown away by Christina's openness and bravery. What an inspiration.

Jen Aniston Fumes Over John Mayer's Big Mouth

I was wondering how the very-private Jennifer Aniston was going to feel about former boyfriend John Mayer spilling the news of their breakup to a random group of NY paparazzi.

Well, according to Page Six, Jen was, let's just say, less-than-thrilled about John's tirade to the photogs, in which he said praised Jen -- but where he also revealed the reasons for the split, saying things like he wasn't going to "waste people's time" if the relationship isn't right.

"What a creep!" a friend of Jen's reportedly told the paper. "He is the biggest jerk ever. How dare he set up a p.r. stunt like that? He should be ashamed of himself and just shut his mouth."

I guess Jen doesn't think John's such a stand-up guy after all.

Who Wants To Shower With Brad Pitt?

Come on, admit it. There has been a time or two (or two thousand) that maybe, just maybe, you fantasized about sharing your shower with Brad Pitt. Well, Brad's about to throw us all a bone. Unfortunately, he's not going to make his way around the world soaping up our backs himself, but he is in the process of creating a new body wash for Kiehl's.

The always-environment-conscious Brad is working with the skin-care company to develop an eco-friendly sudser to raise money for green causes. One hundred percent of the proceeds from Kiehl?s Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser,  will go to JPF Eco Systems, a  new nonprofit org started by Angelina Jolie's man and Kiehl's to "minimize impact on the environment through thoughtful design."

Here's the total bummer -- Brad's face won't be on the bottle! Boooooo!

The only part of Brad that will be apparent on the label of the soap that hits stores in October (and will cost $16.95 a bottle), according to Women's Wear Daily, will be a reproduction of his handwriting.

Hmmm, I guess I can work with that.

Heath Ledger's Pals Donate Paycheck to Matilda

Listen to how nice this is...

When Heath Ledger passed away last January he was in the midst of filming the movie The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus. Having to work around Heath's untimely death, the flick's director, Terry Gilliam, hired three big-name actors to play Heath's character in different stages of his life.

Jude Law, Johnny Depp, and Colin Farrell each took a turn playing Heath's role of Tim, but, instead of saying "thanks" and walking away with their cash, all three actors decided to send their paychecks to Heath's daughter with Michelle Williams, Matilda.

"They didn?t take money ? it goes to Heath?s daughter," the director told The Sun. ?That?s extraordinary! And wonderful . . . and when you?re part of that, you think, ?Ah, this is maybe why I went into the movies in the beginning. I thought it would be full of wonderful people.?

"And we?ve got a movie full of wonderful people who did extraordinary things to help.?

I think that's absolutely lovely.

NKOTB's Donnie Wahlberg To Divorce

While Donnie Wahlberg and his former New Kids on the Block bandmates were reuniting and making nice, his relationship with his wife was apparently going in the opposite direction.

According to TMZ.com, Donnie's wife of nine years, Kim Fey, has filed for divorce from the singer, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple have two children together, Xavier,15, and Elijah, 6, of whom Kim is asking for sole custody. She is also seeking spousal support.

I guess somebody doesn't have the right stuff anymore. Sad.
