The National Enquirer is particularly fond of “Trouble on the Set” stories. Some are true, others are not.
This week the supermarket tabloid pulls out its claws on “Cougar Town” star Courteney Cox.
The piece calls Cox “a control freak,” who “makes a huge number of script changes to make her character look good, and she is extremely picky about everything on the show.”
To Gossip Cop, who has worked in television, that sounds more like a TV veteran who’s hands-on and wants ensure that her show is a success.
Moving on, the mag claims to have an “insider” who heard Cox go off on one of the people who provides food for the set. According to that source, “Courteney ranted at her and said, ‘Everyone knows you are supposed to have equal parts of ham and cheese in a sandwich!’” (Actually, did not know that.)
In another unverifiable anecdote, the Enquirer writes that Cox “exploded” at someone in the wardrobe department “for not having five clothing options for her… The wardrobe employee had offered only three.” A so-called “eyewitness” says an infuriated Cox told the employee that if in 10 minutes “You don’t have what I requested, you’d better not show up next time!”
And finally, the mag has some unidentified person say, “She gives off this ‘I’m important and you’re not’ vibe.”
Well, Gossip Cop investigated and, on the contrary, many consider Cox quite the professional.
But if you think there’s really an attitude problem – which there is not – then why did so many co-workers from the show come out to support Cox on Tuesday when she was honored at TV Guide magazine’s “Hot List” party?

Possibly because, as one person close to Cox told Gossip Cop, the Enquirer’s hatchet job is a “complete fabrication.”
