Way to go, celebrity media! You forced Samantha Who? star Christina Applegate to come forward about her breast cancer struggle way ahead of when she wanted to go public. Which explains why she was on this morning's Good Morning America revealing that shortly after being diagnosed with cancer in one breast, and testing positive for the "breast cancer gene," she had a double mastectomy and removed both breasts. Over the next eight months, she'll have reconstructive surgery to give her "the best boobs in the nursing home."

Says fellow cancer survivor Robin Roberts, who interviewed Applegate (video here): "She wanted to dispel some false reporting that was out there. She wasn't really ready to go public yet. But there was some false reporting that was out that she was going to undergo chemotherapy, which she is not. There were other false reports saying that she was putting off chemotherapy to start a family, that she wanted to get pregnant. She does want to have a family one day, but that is not the reason she made her choice."

So who was out there ruining Applegate's life? Well, Star magazine for one.

Way to go, Trunzo & Co.! [Star]
