CLAIM: Christina Applegate “Headed for a Meltdown”

Truth rating: 0

(GettyImages.com)

Christina Applegate Meltdown” blares a headline in the National Enquirer, which claims the sitcom star “is so stressed that friends fear she’s headed for a meltdown!”

According to the tabloid, the “Up All Night” star “is struggling to juggle the demands of her weekly series, her fiance and their 1 1/2 year old daughter Sadie.”

A so-called “source” for the Enquirer alleges that, after recovering from breast cancer, Applegate “welcomed the distraction of work… but now she feels that she made a colossal mistake.”

The magazine’s “source” goes on to claim that Applegate’s time-intensive TV show has prevented her from planning her wedding, and even from having another child.

“She desperately needs time off,” the “source” dramatically says, “but she can’t can’t seem to jump off the treadmill. She’s falling apart!”

Seriously?

Hardly.

Here’s what’s really going on: The National Enquirer saw Applegate’s recent Twitter rant about the paparazzi, and decided to sensationalize a story about the actress supposedly nearing a breakdown.

In any case, it’s NOT TRUE.

A rep for Applegate assures Gossip Cop that she’s doing just fine, pointing out that when it comes to the Enquirer‘s claims, “Consider the source.”

    poor dear managing the maids,nannies, her huge bank acct’s…
    i do worry about these Hollyweird types that work 1/2 a yr & make millions.

  • what

    She should quit, its a stupid show anyway. Take care of her daughter, come back later.

  • http://twitter.com/InformedNow InformNow

    She has a TV show? Not trying to be cute, was just surprised to read that. Does the show ‘advertise’ itself? I thought I was up on knowing what shows were out there, what they are about and who’s in them.

    I have to reevaluate my life’s perspective now.

  • welldoneson

    I follow her on twitter and she hasn’t seemed any different, for what that’s worth. She’s a big girl, wanting it all means working thy butt off, apparently. No big whoop.

  • X1

    She did an amazing job on SNL last week, her skits were funny and she seem to be having a good time.

  • Keith

    Who exactly are these “sources” anyway??

  • Bud

    Most you so called writers need to find a new so called career, if you take pride in stalking someone else life for a living, that has to be one of the saddest things in life, living a life to stalk n write about someone else life lol. People never seem to amaze me with how they live for people they never met. pathetic.

  • mac

    Very glad to hear she’s doing well. She’s always been a class act and conducts herself with dignity and poise.

    Love her

  • Stef24

    Sad, isn’t it? (she allegedly smoked during her pregnancy too) Same goes for Michael Douglas…battled cancer and is still puffing away…

    Do you have any addictions? Do you drink? I don’t know why people have to criticize everyone else and their lifestyles. I’ve been told that cigarettes are as addicting as heroin. I haven’t had one for 5 years, but believe me there are many times in a week that I feel like a smoke. I would guess that if we had it all to do over again, most of us would never have picked up that ‘first’ one.
    There are many types of cancer and many things that cause cancer; the air we breathe, food we eat, and water we drink to name a few.

  • LJB57

    Yeah like any agent (rep) is gonna say “it’s true my client is coming unglued.”
    Remember John Edwards the scumbag democrat, the Enquirer nailed him but good.
    And besides who in their right minds gives a damn about any of these empty-headed starlets.

  • Duhhhhhh

    Wow you must have to live in a hole in the wall to not at least KNOW she has a new show, its not even new anymore- its in it’s 2nd season! No was are you “up on knowing” anything.

    Heroin, as well as other recreational drugs, have appeasing effects on the mind and body. Cigarettes are the most vile, stinky, nastiest tasting thing on this planet. Not to mention how old smokers look, cancer, and other serious diseases you can get from smoking. I can see how drugs could be addictive… Cigarettes?… Heck NO.

    You took the words right off my laptop!

    Christina is a San Diego North County local. She always speaks plainly – takes no crap and the media is simply slandering her for it. If you don’t know what I mean – try stalking her just once and see what happens.

  • http://www.facebook.com/OCEANSIDEGANGBUSTER Ron Hinton

    The media hates her because she deals with papparazzi old school.

  • steph

    i was a heroin addict (clean now) but still smoke. nicotine is harder to give up, IMHO

  • steph

    obviously, you are lucky enough to have never smoked. look into nicotine and it’s addictive qualities before you make uninformed comments which make you appear dumb.

  • steph

    that last comment was to mary w., not you, lisa

  • Drew73

    They actually taste great, and they smell awesome. The down side is it is a pointless habit with serious health consequences.

    I quit two and half years ago and I wish I had never started in the first place but saying that heroin and other ‘recreational drugs’ are worse is kind of misleading.

  • IMRIGHTYOUREWRONG

    Oh no! She’s so terrible!! What’s your story Indy boy? You drink, smoke yourself, watch porn, eat too much fat boy?

  • Commentator Prime

    God knows how many thousands of times I fapped to her during her stint in Married…with Children.

  • svobodnik

    The fact that she smokes makes her seem more “real” to me. I would like to be consulted on her fashion wardrobe….I don’t think they are capturing her finer, distinctive points, mostly having to do with her face.

  • http://www.facebook.com/joe.buscema Joe Buscema

    All the best to you, Christina.

  • http://twitter.com/WotansWoodcraft Woodrow Wotan

    I volunteer to rub her feet.

  • Dolf

    we all have our addictions. I quit smoking and drinking over 20 yrs ago and it was the easiest thing for me to do but I’m hooked to damn short bread cookies and can’t get enough of them. hmmm……

  • king

    bla-bla-bla

    smoking cigg’s has little to do with breast cancer.
