Christina Applegate to Launch Cancer Charity in September

Cancer survivorChristina Applegate is launching a charity to help at-risk women who can't afford the proper preventative care. The Anchorman star will launch Right Action For Women in September this year and hopes the project will aid women get any cancer detected early.

She tells WENN, "It's a program giving financial aid to high-risk women who can't afford to get MRIs, which is how I found my cancer. It's unfortunate that insurance companies (in America) don't cover the cost of that. It's such an incredible device because you can find it at an early detection stage. We started our pilot program and started helping women already, even though we aren't launched."

"The other aspect of the programme is to do genetic counselling and help women understand what being high-risk means, and understanding what foods are good for their bloods and how to prevent this disease from happening. That has been my mission."

It's a happy time for Applegate - as well as launching the new charity drive, she also has new films coming out and recently announced she is expecting her first child.

Paris Hilton Detained for Marijuana Possession in South Africa

Well, that's not hot.
Paris Hilton was detained for possession of marijuana in the South African city of Port Elizabeth Friday.
Hilton, 29, was escorted out of the Brazil vs Netherlands quarterfinal match at Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium, according to reports.
Her rep later said that the "incident was a complete misunderstanding and it was actually another person in the group who did it. The case has been dropped against Paris and no charges will be made. The authorities have apologized for wrongfully accusing her since she had nothing to do with the incident."
Despite the incident, Hilton seems to be in fine spirits.
"Had so much fun at the game today," she wrote. "What a match! I love South Africa!" A short time later, she added, "It's so beautiful here. I can't wait to go on the Safari this week and see all the amazing animals."
Hilton pleaded no contest in 2007 to alcohol-related reckless driving and was sentenced to 45 days in jail. She served 23 days in jail.
Later that year, during an interview with Larry King, she famously denied ever using drugs.
"Have you ever been addicted to drugs?" he asked.
"No," she replied.
She also said "no" when he asked if she's ever experimented with drugs.
