Alyssa Milano says she was pleasantly surprised Friday when UsMagazine.com broke the news that her pal Christina Applegate was engaged to Porno for Pyros rocker Martyn LeNoble.

"I had no idea!" Milano, 37, told Us Friday at the Children Mending Hearts' "Peace Please" gala in L.A.

Two weeks ago, when she and Applegate, 38, were shooting the comedy Hall Pass in Atlanta, "she kept it a secret," Milano told Us. "The funny thing is, my husband is actually her agent, so she really kept it a secret from everyone! But I'm thrilled for her. They are an amazing couple, and I think they are great."

Her tip to the bride-to-be? "Never forget to laugh!" said Milano, who wed Hollywood agent David Bugliari last year.

Case in point: Jersey Shore star Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, who recently made fun of Milano in Interview magazine. ("Alyssa Milano? What's the last thing she's done, Who's the Boss? It's like, 'Who's the boss, now, Alyssa?'" he said after she told Us she didn't like his MTV show.)

She is laughing off his remark.

"I think Ronnie is funny," she told Us. "He is silly. I'm sure people aren’t taking him too seriously with that stuff."

She said she enjoyed recently shooting a Jersey Shore spoof. "It was super, super fun," she told Us. "My brother came up with the idea to call Funny or Die. I called them on a Thursday; they pitched me the [concept], and then Friday we were shooting it. That's how quick it happened!"

    I love Alyssa, Ronnie is a loser and he and the Jersey Shore Cast need to go away

    I just want to say that I didn't know that Alyssa and Christina were friends but I have been fans of both of them since the '80's. I loved Married with Children and Who's the Boss and am loving the fact that both stars are coming back to TV. Christina is already a big hit with Samantha Who and Alyssa, well, I'm sure she will be a hit in Romatically Challenged. I was just saying to my husband that Alyssa and Christina will always have a big fan base and will always do well and they both look so good...still. I wish them both great success!!!! Congratulations to Christina on your future nuptials!!!!

    So basically this guy does nothing except mooch off her...cause Porno for Pyros had like one album and that was years ago

    I love her shes my namesake. And yeah that was a really stupid thing for that dumb Jersey Shore guy to say. " Who's The Boss" - he thinks thats the last thing she has done? Wow, they must drink alot, or dont get out. " Charmed" " My Name is Earl" After Charmed yes she didnt have a whole lot, but she is finding stuff now. I am happy for her and congrats Christina!
