Ellen DeGeneres is headed for a mental breakdown. According to several sources close to DeGeneres her gig on American Idol has had an adverse affect on her well being. While we’ve reported several times she and Simon Cowell aren’t really getting along, it also seems to be the stress of hosting her own talk show and judging Idol that’s the culprit.

more Ellen after the hop…
The National Enquirer (via ShowbizSpy.com) reported:
“We fear she’s headed for a total breakdown,” a source told American tabloid the National Enquirer. “When she strips away her TV makeup, you can see the stress in her face. She looks gaunt and pale. We’re afraid she has cracked under the pressure. Simon was pretty welcoming when Ellen first signed on, but now she’s become his whipping post for anything that’s not working on the show,” said the pal. “It’s really eating her up insider.”
The article goes on to say she’s not as vibrant, snipes at people and needs extra eye makeup to cover up her bags.
What do you think? Should Ellen slow down or are these rumors nothing but naysaying?
