Christina Applegate and Jonathon Schaech at the "Elf" special screening in Los Angeles, California

I saw her on Punk'd. They set a little kid up on the Red Carpet to say dumb, rude, stupid things. The kid calls Christina Applegate "Christina Agulara". Applegate gives the kid a pat on the head, cups his cheeks with her hands and says "You're so cute, but I'm not Christina Agulara, but I think she's here tonight so keep looking! You're adorable!"

She always seems so nice to me.

CHRISTINA GETS SUBTLE: Despite the colorful setting at an M&M's party in Hollywood, attendee Christina Applegate chose a muted ensemble for the fete: a gauzy, cream-colored blouse and faded boot-cut jeans. The actress has several movies coming out in the next few months, including this summer's Will Ferrell comedy Anchorman.

Three years after getting married, Christina Applegate and Johnathon Schaech finally took their honeymoon, visiting Bora Bora Nui Resort in Tahiti recently. During their 10-day stay, the duo took in massages and dips in the infinity pool – they even hosted a farewell reception in their suite for other vacationing couples that they befriended. "The best thing was jumping off the balcony of our room into the water," says Applegate.

COUPLE OF THE NIGHT
If there were awards for just plain looking good, Anchorman' s Christina Applegate and husband Johnathon Schaech would have cleaned up at the ESPYs. But alas, it's about the sport: Top honors for amateur and pro athletes went to Lance Armstrong (best male athlete) and basketball rookie Diana Taurasi (best female athlete).

ART IMITATING LIFE: Christina Applegate and hubby Jonathan Schaech to costar in the CBS TV movie James Patterson's Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas based on the best-selling novel, per the Hollywood Reporter.

Applegate, Schaech Join CBS Movie
(Thursday, September 02 08:29 AM)

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) The husband-and-wife team of Christina Applegate and Johnathon Schaech have signed on to star in the CBS movie "James Patterson's Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas."

The love story, based on a novel by James Patterson, focuses on Katie Wilkinson, a book editor who falls in love with a man named Matt Harris (Schaech), only to be stunned when he abruptly breaks up with her.

To explain his actions, Matt gives Katie a diary written by Suzanne (Applegate) to her son, Nicholas. Katie discovers Suzanne is Matt's wife and, later, the reason why she's writing the diary.

Applegate is best known for her comedy work, but producer Fox TV Studios thinks the movie will showcase her dramatic chops.

"We felt like this would be a real event to be able to show the audience a side of Christina that was more serious, more dramatic, more emotionally complex," David Madden, head of scripted programming at the studio, tells The Hollywood Reporter.

Applegate won an Emmy for her guest role on "Friends" last year and is up for the same award again this year. She starred opposite Will Ferrell in "Anchorman" this summer and will be seen in "Surviving Christmas" this fall.

Schaech starred in the ABC movie "Judas" last season. His other credits include "That Thing You Do!" and the FOX series "Time of Your Life."

DIVORCED...WITHOUT CHILDREN: Christina Applegate's husband, Jonathon Schaech filing for divorce from the actress Monday, citing irreconcilable differences. The couple married in 2001.



Oh no, they're so cute together!

Wow. They seemed really in love.

Oooh, so he's back on the market? He's a hottie

Wow - that's too bad. Marriage is difficult to begin with but then add in the Hollywood factor where one appearingly gets work fairly easy while the other struggles to get even the smallest parts and it's got to be rough. I wonder how her Broadway gig went.

She's still performing on Broadway, isn't she? She did a number from the show for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I like her as an actress but didn't know what to expect from her singing & dancing--she wasn't bad I like them as a couple--seem very lowkey, doing their own thing. But if he's been in LA and she's been in NYC for a while, that's gotta up the difficulty as well....

DId you guys see the scene they had together in that movie The Sweetest Thing? The two of them trying to pick each other up in the club was so cute.

For some reason this one really bums me out. I met Christina Applegate ages ago - back during her MWC days - and thought she was an absolute doll. So gracious, so self-deprecating, and an extremely skilled and professional performer.

Christina Applegate's Hubby Seeks Divorce
Tuesday Dec 06, 2005 3:00pm EST

Christina Applegate's husband of four years, actor Johnathon Schaech, filed for divorce Monday in Los Angeles Superior Court.

According to a statement released by their publicist: "After four years of marriage, actors Johnathon Schaech and Christina Applegate have filed for divorce. The decision is mutual. We have no further comment at this time."

Schaech, 36, who appeared in the movie That Thing You Do! and is in pre-production with Road House 2: Last Call, cited irreconcilable differences, say the court papers.

Applegate, 34, whose credits include Married ... With Children and last year's Anchorman, is currently on Broadway in a revival of Sweet Charity, which will run until the end of this month. Her debut in the show last spring was delayed when she sprained her ankle during out-of-town tryouts. She earned a Tony nomination for the role.

The pair, who married in Palm Springs in October 2001, have no children.

Soho my thoughts exactly . But I really did like them as a couple. Bittermuch, it's nice to hear she's a nice person. Too bad.

From Page Six:

"IT looks like the first appointment Christina Applegate will make after she leaves Broadway's "Sweet Charity" in January may be in divorce court. Her actor/husband Johnathon Schaech filed for divorce in L.A. citing "irreconcilable differences." Tmz.com reports Schaech has hired celeb divorce lawyer Laura Wasser. A statement from both parties' reps said the decision to split is mutual, but we're waiting for the other shoe to drop — a man's shoe. "


Um. Okay....

There was more gossip about cheating in another column this morning--about her being seen with another man at a karaoke bar. Can't remember where I read it but when I do I'll post the link

Jeanette Walls Scoop:

Yikes, whoda thought.

My husband was VERY upset I didn't inform him of this news as soon as I found out, and has offered her a place to stay, should she need it while "recovering" from the divorce. I told him that I think she's well on her way to "recovery" already and that's why she's getting divorced in the first place.....

LOL Hoyaheel

CATCH OF THE DAY

WELL, we called it! When Christina Applegate (above) and her hubby, Jonathan Schaech, announced their split earlier this month, we said we were waiting for "the other shoe to drop — a man's shoe" — and now it has. The "Sweet Charity" star has been seeing Alaskan fisherman/rocker/skateboarder Lee Grivas, according to Us Weekly. The two were seen at a New York bar together last month and are now dating seriously.

Wow, first Tori, now Christina. Who's next??

Does anyone have a pic???
He'd have to be really hot to compare to her soon-to-be-ex!

Or straight...Oooops...Did I say that?

TURNS out Christina Applegate wasn't the only one in her marriage with a wandering eye. Applegate's soon to be ex, Jonathan Schaech, arrived at the opening of the new Las Vegas club Seamless After Hours on Saturday with his best friends Shannon Elizabeth and pro poker player Antonio Esfandiari, but quickly met his secret new girlfriend inside, sources say. Schaech and the petite blonde, named Maria, made out all night in the VIP section.

Don't believe everything you read...

It's just a TYPICAL pack of bad journo's that are trying to stir up shit because both Johnathon and Christina are so private and the press want some dirt on them ..... so they make it up....

Christina Applegate's New Catch
Thursday Dec 29, 2005 1:00pm EST
people.com

Christina Applegate may be in the middle of a divorce from actor Johnathan Schaech, but she seems to be learning that there are other fish in the sea.

Her latest catch is Alaskan fisherman and aspiring photographer Lee Grivas, whom she met in the fall through a dancer in her Broadway show Sweet Charity.

“We're very happy with each other," Grivas, 24, tells PEOPLE in its upcoming issue. "I like making her smile and she likes making me smile. It's really innocent and fun."

Schaech, who filed divorce papers Dec. 5, seems to be moving on too: He was partying Dec. 17 at the Las Vegas club Seamless. The couple officially separated six months ago.

Applegate, 34, plans to head back to Los Angeles after Charity closes Dec. 31, and Grivas has a fishing boat to hop on in Alaska this month. But "we're really good friends," says Grivas, "so we'll keep in touch."

Pic of the new guy.

Bummer deal. I thought these 2 would make it.

Christina Applegate takes a walk on the wild side for Bob Saget's Farce of the Penguins. The R-rated spoof of last year's Ocsar-winning documentary features the voices of Samuel L. Jackson, Lewis Black, Tracy Morgan and Mo'Nique. The penguins march again later this year.

I guess there will be no, we're just "friends" from these two.

Christina looks darn good at the People's Choice awards last night.


from yahoo! entertainment

I wish that Christina Applegate did more. I really like her as an actress and think she's beautiful. I've also never seen her go the too skinny celeb chick route.

My husband wishes she did more, as well Or, at least that Jesse would come out on dvd

He's Finally Free To Be With Me

That hot bitch of a man Jonathan Schaech's divorce to Kelly Bundy became final today. He filed for divorce in 2005 after a 4-year marriage. It was rumored at that time that Christina was boinking someone from NYC while she starred in "Sweet Charity" on Broadway. You must have tit milk for brains if you cheat on that piece of hotness.

Us Weekly reports:

As part of their divorce agreement, Schaech will receive a 2001 Mercedes convertible, the contents of numerous bank accounts, a cement Buddha, and one-time payment of $105,000 from Applegate. He has agreed to forego his right to collect spousal support.

For her part, Applegate, who will next be seen starring in new ABC series Samantha Who?, will keep the couple's houses, her 2006 Lexus, and the contents of numerous bank accounts.

DAMN! Are they broke?! A 2001 Mercedes Benz?! Do those even exist anymore? I know, I know. I don't even have a car, so I'll shut my damn mouth.

2001 Benz or Not...Schaech is mine! I'll gladly take Kelly Bundy's leftovers.

Yeah, she took a lover during Sweet Charity AFTER they split. The husband cheated on her with.... it escapes me, but it was a name actress, possibly a co-star of his. Damn - I wish I could remember!

Anyway - he was the douchebag. Christina Applegate's a lovely person and a cool chick.

I cant decide if he is kind of hot or not because he has the coloring of a zombie, he is always kind of grey looking to me.

Christina Applegate attended the 1989 MTV Movie Awards with Brad Pitt, but dumped him at the event and left with someone else. "We were really good friends when I was about 16.

Johnathon Schaech on Making Out With Ex Applegate: "No Comment"

Johnathon Schaech isn't kissing and telling about his recent makeout session with ex-wife Christina Applegate.

A solo Schaech, 38, hit the Maxim launch party of the new Assassin’s Creed game at Hollywood hot spot Opera Tuesday night.

When asked about Us' recent report that he and Applegate, 35 — who split in December 2005, amid allegations she cheated on him — smooched at L.A.'s Les Deux November 3, he laughed and replied, "No comment."

When pressed further about whether they were friends again, Schaech smiled again and said, "No comment."

On the November 3 night in question, Applegate sipped a vodka cocktail, chatted with Eva Longoria and danced to Michael Jackson’s "Thriller." Around 1 a.m., Schaech, who arrived separately, made his way over to her table, a witness told Us — and proceeded to lock lips with his ex!

“They were laughing and hanging out,” said the witness, “and then they were kissing!”

The two spent at least 10 minutes together, and even walked around the club holding hands.

Said the partygoer, “It was clearly just a comfortable thing for them.”

No word whether they will reunite for Thanksgiving the year.

Schaech said he will be spending the holiday in Maryland with family.

"I will just be with my family and eat turkey," he said. "You don’t want me to cook. The turkey is the dad’s job."

‘Samantha Who?’ is an unlikely sitcom queen
Christina Applegate plays smart, wacky and energetic in this comedy
COMMENTARY
By Wendell Wittler
MSNBC contributor

It’s not often that a show with a female lead is TV’s most-watched comedy. The last one with that honor was “Roseanne” in the early ’90s.

“I Love Lucy” was dominant in the ’50s, of course, but Lucy without Desi in the ’60s, not so much. The only No. 1 comedy that decade with a woman on top of the credits was “Bewitched,” starring Elizabeth Montgomery as a witch named Samantha.

Now, the new top comedy also has a lead character named Samantha. She is not a witch, but is instead something that rhymes with “witch.” Or at least she was, prior to her series-starting bout of amnesia.

The oldest trick in the soap-opera plot playbook sets Samantha Newly (Christina Applegate) up for a fish-out-of-water scenario as surreal as the other Samantha marrying a mortal. Because, along with the memory loss, Sam’s head injury also apparently gave her a conscience she didn’t have before, which makes finding out about her past much more horrifyingly funny.

It may be a tough premise to buy into, but then, who ever bothered thinking about how the ’60s Samantha could turn her husband in to frog?

More brains than Bundy
As a character who could become as unlikable as she is unlikely, Applegate pushes on through with a performance that is energetic, emotional and just plain wacky. The actress formerly known as Kelly Bundy is playing anything but dumb; she portrays Sam as a quick-witted and sharp woman, a person who’s capable of outsmarting almost anybody, including herself.

And Samantha’s state of mind is perpetually on display, with her voice-over narration (a device that’s very common on single-camera sitcoms these days) supplemented by on-screen titles representing her handwritten notes. Those notes are constantly being re-written as she explores this strange alien world that is supposed to be her own life.

Applegate is surrounded by a talented supporting cast playing mostly un-supportive characters. Jean Smart, who was upstaged by everyone else on “Designing Women” only to make a big comeback last year as the “crazy first lady” on “24,” channels manic energy into Sam’s self-absorbed mother. Likable Kevin Dunn plays her dad as a sidekick, delivering the show’s most-repeated line: “Apologize to your mother, Sam.”

Some me of the show’s funniest moments come from a tug-of-war over Samantha between two opposites. On one side, Jennifer Esposito is her “AbFab”-styled friend and proud enabler of the old, bad Sam. Melissa McCarthy also brings humor as a rediscovered childhood buddy who deftly balances being the voice of goodness and niceness with hints of creepy obsessiveness.

Barry Watson’s distrustful ex-boyfriend Todd doesn’t appear often, but his role is still more interesting than whatever he did on his last series, the also question-marked “What About Brian?” And former “Star Trek” star Tim Russ’ doorman, mixing some leftover Vulcan wisdom and stoicism with New York snark, is the best peripheral sitcom character since the janitor on “Scrubs.”

No plot twist untwisted
After watching the pilot, I wondered whether this show could maintain the outlandish premise and stay funny, and what of many possible directions it would end up going. Now, a half-dozen episodes in, “Samantha Who?” is just getting better, and is doing so by going in all directions at once.

And as Samantha’s constantly crossed-out and corrected notes demonstrate, this is one sitcom that will leave no possible plot twist untwisted (even if viewers realize after the show is over that they should have seen half of them coming).

Will Sam ultimately get back together with Todd, or just keep using the closet space of their previously shared apartment? How long will the development company she works for put up with her do-gooder activity?

Will she make a list of everyone she needs to make amends with and become an upper-class “My Name Is Earl?” How long can she keep a balance between her two opposite friends? Will she ever find out who was driving the car that hit her? When will she learn enough about her own past to stop taking notes?

Taking on Charlie Sheen
Perhaps more importantly, is “Samantha Who?” going to stay the No. 1 sitcom? Critics say the show is riding on the white tie and coattails of “Dancing With the Stars.” By the end of this month, that won’t be the case, and “Samantha Who?” will be in direct competition with the previous No. 1 sitcom, “Two and a Half Men.”

While she may appear to be outnumbered two-and-a-half to one (and facing a potentially lengthy writer’s strike with far fewer rerunnable episodes as “Men”), Samantha has some numbers on her side. She already has a lead of over 15 percent (or the equivalent of two-and-seven-eighths men), and the week-to-week ratings are trending slightly upward.

And the show is doing a lot better holding onto the “Dancing” audience (especially with the all-important 18-49 demographic) than the last time Christina Applegate got a plum timeslot. Does anyone even remember her show “Jesse,” one of the many shows NBC used to fill the half-hour between “Friends” and “Seinfeld”?

You don’t need amnesia to forget that, but you would to forget “Samantha Who?” which increasingly has the potential to become a memorable piece of TV history.

When so many new ideas fall flat, it’s a delight to see an old cliché reworked in a fresh new way. But don’t tell that to network executives; they’ll just try to revive “Bewitched” again.

REALITY INTRUDES

January 6, 2008 -- CHRISTINA Applegate says the final straw in her decision to divorce actor Johnathon Schaech after five years of marriage came after living in New York for over a year during her Broadway run in “Sweet Charity." “A lot of stuff happened there, so it was interesting to come home [to Los Angeles] and face my reality and my truth. I think I was sort of in a fantasy world there," she tells next month's Redbook. The “Samantha Who?" star also says the story of her making out with her ex at a club were “incredibly exaggerated . . . We just talked and hung out for a little while and that was the end of it."

Applegate Reunites With Ex Boyfriend

Actress CHRISTINA APPLEGATE has reunited with her skateboarder ex LEE GRIVAS, and moved him back in to her Hollywood home, according to reports.

The pair briefly dated after 36-year-old Applegate's marriage to Johnathon
Schaech ended in 2006, but they split soon after.

But they were photographed leaving a Los Angeles restaurant together last
week (23Apr08), and now insiders claim the romance is back on.

A friend says, "Lee's a simple guy and he took good care of Christina the
first time around. And he'd love to make a baby with her - which is Christina's
number one priority right now."

Applegate recently revealed her desire to become a mother: "That's
(motherhood) something I really need to get on soon, which is difficult in the
current situation. I feel complete when I'm with babies and kids... If I end up
doing it on my own, I don't see anything wrong with that."

Christina Who?




Christina Applegate's style has come a long way from her days on "Married With Children" as Kelly Bundy. How did the actress go from being rebellious to refined? The "Samantha Who?" star reveals her fashion secrets to In Style magazine.

The Christina Applegate you see in these pictures isn't the same Christina who is casually sipping tea in her Tuscan-style Hollywood hills home. "I have a friend who always calls me a chimney sweep because I tend to dress like one," she says. "I don't like doing my hair, so I wear the same cap every day -- an ugly tweed old man golfer's cap."


The Real Christina
So which is the genuine blonde: grunge or goddess? Chuck Taylors or Christian Louboutins? Both. Or neither. It all depends on the day, her mood, whether she's working on her show, the hit comedy "Samantha Who?" or her upcoming movie, "The Rocker," or walking the red carpet at some fabulous Hollywood event.

"I love sophisticated fashion, and I also love to be funky, " she says. "I don't follow trends. I like things that are a little bit off and a little bit interesting."



Style Evolution
As a child actress working in film and TV commercials, Applegate lived in a community of "colorful, edgy" kids who, like her, more or less raised themselves. "Our parents were very, very lax," she says. Applegate's look then was appropriately anarchic to the setting: She had a small Mohawk, flannel shirts, fishnets, combat boots, and eyeliner. "All we ever wore were ripped up clothes and thrift-store stuff," she recalls. "I remember the principal came up to one of my girlfriends and said, 'We have a program here, if you need money for clothing.' And my friend's dad was this huge director."

From there, Applegate regressed a decade to her Led Zepplin/Janis Joplin-inspired phase, which dominated her Kelly Bundy years. After taping her show each night, she'd shimmy out of Kelly's Lycra and into her flowing skirts -- three at a time. "I would wear my mom's old clothes. 'How ugly can I make myself' was, I think, how I dressed."

She Feels Pretty
In her mid-20s, Applegate decided to end her fashion mutiny: "I wanted to look pretty," she says. She stopped looking to rock stars for style cues and became her own muse. "If you're wearing something that isn't you, you're just uncomfortable. I know what is going to look good on my body. I don't want to be concerned all night about whether or not it fits or if my backside is hanging out."

Good idea.
