Though Christina Applegate was an Emmy nominee for her manic performance on Samantha Who?, and many expected it to be renewed for a third season, ABC has decided instead to cancel it. The producers couldn't find an adequate way to slash the budge, so alas no more. Bad news for the likable Applegate and her costars Jennifer Esposito and Jean Smart. Though, let's be honest, it was never very good. [Variety]

Fox had their upfronts this mornin', and yes, dear friends, Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles has been canceled. (We may actually be bummed about this, which is sad.) But Dollhouse is back on a way lower budget, and Fringe has been pushed into the tres competitive Thursday 9pm slot. Godspeed to it. And, last but not least, there is Glee on Wednesdays at 9pm. Everyone watch Glee! It looks really good! And apparently it is good! So watch the premiere after Idol this week, then watch again in the fall. Please. Do it for us. [THR]

CBS meanwhile has picked up a doomsday lineup of new shows, including the second Jullianna Margulies lawyer drama in two years, The Good Wife, a Jenna Elfman sitcom, and the always-a-sure-bet NCIS spinoff starring the not-always-a-sure-bet Chris O'Donnell and the used-to-be-a-sure-bet LL Cool J.

In the world of movies, Milla Jovovich no longer has to kill zombies with her magic guns. No, instead she has to bone Bob DeNiro to get Edward Norton, her arsonist husband, out of prison in the thriller Stone. Sounds crazy extreeeeme! [Variety]

Speaking of extreme, the revisionist history novel Resistance, about a WWII in which the Nazis take Russia and D-Day has failed, will be made into a movie. Which reminds us that we want to read that book. Thanks, movies! [THR]

It's here that Francis unloads, implying that Lindsay is the equivalent of a "lesbian until graduation" and stating that, uh, Rosnan is a "wretched woman...taking [Lindsay] down a path that's just wrong for her." Thank God, America, that we have fine, upstanding men like Francis who are so concerned about our young ladies going down the wrong path. Be there for her, Joe. Be a shoulder to cry on, an ear for her worries, and a positive influence who can help lead Lindsay out of the woods with a 12:30 am carton of pralines and cream and a tender, heartfelt message: "Those tits look great in that shirt, but I bet they'd look even better out of it..."

Explaining her rationale in taking that dramatic step, she said, "I didn't want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything. I just wanted to kind of be rid of this whole thing for me. This was the choice that I made, and it was a tough one."

Over the next eight months she will undergo reconstructive surgery. "I'm gonna have cute boobs till I'm 90," she quipped, as Roberts pointed out how Applegate's sense of humor has helped the actress endure the ordeal.

Congratulations are in order to Applegate; she had to make a tough decision (informed by her mother's breast cancer experience as well as the discovery that Applegate herself carried the breast cancer gene, BRCA1), and she revealed it with candor and wit. She may not have her breasts, but she's certainly got cojones.
