Some very sad news for Christina Applegate.
E! News has confirmed that an investigation is under way into the circumstances surrounding the death of 26-year-old Lee Grivas, an aspiring photographer who had been dating the Samantha Who? star off and on for more than two years.
"I am profoundly saddened," Applegate said in a statement to E! News.

Jennifer Aniston has resorted to taking the bus these days, and it has nothing to do with the summer's sky-high gas prices.
E! News has learned that actress is not just attending boyfriend John Mayer's concerts. She's gone groupie, joining him on his tour bus.
Mayer kicked off the U.S. leg of his summer road show Wednesday night, with Aniston by his side backstage. The couple arrived together at the 2008 Milwaukee Summerfest at the Marcus Amphitheater on his rig.
Burning Q's: Reality Castoffs & Mischa's Widdle
ABC/Mario Perez
We all want a happy ending with TV dating shows like The Bachelorette. But if it doesn't work out with the chosen one, can the star of these shows go back and date someone else from the show?
—Carrin
Well, now you've ticked off a former Bachelor. "Don't call them castoffs," he tells this B!tch, requesting we not name him. "They were really nice ladies." And, oh: Nothing in his contract prohibited him from dating a castoff.
Other reality shows do limit a star's dating for a short time after filming wraps, says Sheila Conlin, who cast the upcoming Secret Millionaire show for Fox. But either way, the star is free to date anyone, even a castoff, once the contract is up.
Got more Burning Q's? Oh, you do. Let's quench those after the jump...
Madonna Still Mad About Guy, Mad at Tabloids
RAMEY PHOTO
Well, Madonna has always been a lightning A-Rod rod for controversy. And her marriage is no exception.
Once again, the Queen of Pop's rep is putting the kibosh on reports of trouble in faux-accented paradise, including an Us Weekly cover story that suggests the Material Mom is looking to bench Guy Ritchie so she can play ball with New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez.
"Madonna's husband Guy arrived in New York last night to be with his wife and family (not in a last-ditch attempt to save his marriage which does not need saving)," said Madonna's longtime publicist, Liz Rosenberg. "There are no plans for Madonna and Guy to divorce."

No Wedding Bells for Cameron Diaz...for Now
Cameron Diaz is not engaged.
Her publicist tells E! News that the ring she was photographed wearing Wednesday night leaving Nobu after dinner with Paul Sculfor is not of the engagment variety.
“It is not an engagement ring. It is her own ring, designed by her friend Lenore Marusak for La Paix.” (Marusak is a producer who has worked on television shows like Newlyweds: Nick & Jessica.)
Hint to Cam: If you want to avoid nuptial speculation altogether, wear it on your right hand instead.

Jesse McCartney says he was in and out of a relationship while creating his third and latest album, Departure, but has been single now for about a year and a half.
And while Jesse won't identify the ex who inspired his lyrics, there is one name that can definitely be crossed off the list of suspects: Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day.
At least to hear him tell it...
Cameron Diaz's Mystery Dude Not a Date
Cameron Diaz got tongues wagging when she departed Nobu in West Hollywood Wednesday night with a mystery man at the wheel.
But her driver wasn't a date at all—it was actually her agent, Nick Stein. In fact, her boy-toy, model Paul Sculfor, rounded out this threesome for sushi.
Miley Wants Her Ex "to Be Upset"

While Miley Cyrus has remained mum on the specifics of her love life, she does admit that her new song, "7 Things," is indeed about an ex of hers.
And while she hopes the former b-f is affected by the tune—"I want them to be upset [when they hear the song]. That was my point," she tells Ryan Seacrest—she leaves the identity of the culprit to our imagination.
Of course, that doesn’t stop Ryan from trying to pry the answer from her...

INFdaily.com
Last week it was New York City. Then on Sunday the couple was seen canoodling on a West L.A. tennis court.
Now, E! News has learned, peripatetic lovebirds Kate Hudson and Lance Armstrong have taken their cross-country romance to Santa Barbara county.
Ludson (Lan-Kat?) was spotted having dinner at Lucky's steakhouse in Montecito late Monday night looking as smitten—and laid-back—as ever...
Reality-Show Secrets: When Did They Say That?
ABC/CRAIG SJODIN
When you see commentaries from castmembers on reality shows, are those interviews done during taping of the show or after, when everything is over?
—Selim, Rotterdam
Both.
When Sean rhapsodized on The Bachelorette about how much he loves his mama—he talks to her three or four times a day, boy howdy!—that was probably a prescheduled chat. It most likely happened sometime during the production season, but not necessarily on the same day that Sean was filmed hugging his weeping meemaw.
You can often spot a prescheduled interview by its stiffness. "It can often can seem more staged and scripted," reality-TV producer Tommy Swanhaus tells me. So here's how it all works behind-the-scenes at reality shows...
