Emmy Award-winning actress Christina Applegate, known for her starring roles in "Married with Children," "Dead to Me," and "Samantha Who?" revealed overnight that she has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, a disease in which the body's immune system attacks the central nervous system.
"A few months ago I was diagnosed with MS," Applegate tweeted. "It's been a strange journey...It's been a tough road. But as we all know, the road keeps going. Unless some a**hole blocks it." "As one of my friends that MS said 'we wake up and take the indicated action,'" Applegate continued. "And that's what I do. So now I ask for privacy. As I go through this thing."Authorities made two gruesome discoveries Tuesday after a Missouri woman walked into a police station and told officers that she fatally shot one of her children and drowned the other, officials said. Jefferson County Sheriff Dave Marshak said at a news conference that authorities believe both children were killed Tuesday morning.
Strong storms with damaging winds and baseball-sized hail pummeled Texas on Tuesday, leaving more than one million businesses and homes without power as much of the U.S. recovered from severe weather, including tornadoes, that killed at least 24 people in seven states during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.
