The world was surprised, impressed, and -- perhaps most importantly -- informed by Angelina Jolie's announcement Monday night that she had a preventative double mastectomy.

The Oscar-winning actress announced that she decided to have the procedure in order to reduce her high genetic chances of developing breast or ovarian cancer.

"omg! Insider" caught up with CNN's Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen to find out some of the answers to the most pressing medical questions that arose following Jolie's announcement.

(Tim Munro for Allure)Sigh.

Every time we seem to be making progress in the way women are portrayed in magazines, somehow we take a step back.

The latest reminder that we still have a ways to go is that Allure magazine's latest cover, featuring gorgeous actress Zoe Saldana, describes its cover model as "115 Pounds of Grit and Heartache."

While that may be true, readers probably didn't need to know precisely how much "grit and heartache" she possesses.

It's not clear if or how the number fits into the piece since the full interview with the actress has yet to be released but when omg! inquired about the headline, Saldana's rep referred omg! to Allure, who in turn said "no comment."

Whomever is responsible, the decision to showcase Saldana's digits seems so … unnecessary.

Christina Hendricks (Ben Watts)Christina Hendricks did not set out to spend her life working alongside beautiful men like as Ryan Gosling and Jon Hamm. Really.

"I just thought I would work in a hair salon and do community theater," the 38-year-old "Mad Men" actress reveals to Lucky Magazine.

After working as a model in NYC, Hendricks decided to go for it, and now stars in the critically acclaimed TV show, in addition to movies, such as the 2014 thriller "How to Catch a Monster," written and directed by her "Drive" co-star Ryan Gosling. Lucky girl!

Hendricks, who married "(500) Days of Summer" actor Geoffrey Arend in October 2009, acknowledges that Gosling is "handsome." However, she says his appeal is deeper.

Just a day after news broke that her ex, Marc Anthony, dropped $2.5 million on a 6,000-square-foot Los Angeles-area mansion, Jennifer Lopez has one-upped her former husband, making news for plunking down four times that amount for a whopper of an estate in the Hamptons.

The lingerie-clad ladies celebrated the release of the 8th "What Is Sexy?" list on Tuesday in Santa Monica, California. Stars like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lawrence, Rihanna, and Blake Lively all made the cut for various reasons.

However, Lily Aldridge revealed she had one other celebrity she would add to the sexy ranks: Kim Kardashian.

"Sometimes geek can be chic," Anna Wintour once said.

Vogue magazine kept in line with that philosophy on Monday as it hosted a swanky Los Angeles dinner party for the "Star Trek" cast held on the secluded outdoor patio of West Hollywood's Chateau Marmont.

Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto, and Alice Eve -- the pretty young things starring in J.J. Abrams's rebooted "Trek" franchise -- attended the Monday soiree hosted with MAC Cosmetics in celebration of designer Prabal Gurung.

Other bold names such as Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson, "Homeland" beauty Morena Baccarin, Rachel Zoe, Liberty Ross, Emma Roberts, Dita Von Teese, and Cody Horn were also in attendance.

Angelina Jolie (Danny Martindale/WireImage)The news of Angelina Jolie's preventive double mastectomy, after testing positive for a faulty BRCA1 gene (which you can read more about here), continues to reverberate not only across Hollywood but also around the globe.

Almost instantly, the 37-year-old Oscar winner and humanitarian put a famous face on a sensitive procedure that many other women have elected to have -- some of them celebrities.
Christina Applegate also opted to have a double mastectomy. After cancer was detected in one of her breasts in 2008, the "Anchorman: The Legend Continues" actress, whose mother had multiple occurrences of breast cancer, made the dramatic decision to remove both of her breasts so she'd be less likely to suffer the same fate.

"I didn't want to go back to the doctors every four months for testing and squishing and everything," Applegate, 41, told "Good Morning America" at the time. "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."

And one she is still grappling with on some levels. While Jolie wrote in the New York Times op-ed piece that following the procedure, she does "not feel any less of a
