Christina Applegate revealed she has been hospitalized over 30 times for “unimaginable” pain from gastrointestinal issues amid her battle with multiple sclerosis.

During the one-year anniversary episode her “MesSy” podcast with Jamie-Lynn Sigler, the “Married… with Children” alum detailed her experience with the autoimmune disease after a listener wrote in that she was “throwing up and having diarrhea every single day.”

“This is really important because for three years, since I was diagnosed, I’ve been in the hospital upwards of 30 times from throwing up and diarrhea and pain that is unimaginable,” Applegate, 53, said on Tuesday’s show.

“They’ve done every test known to man on me, put so much radiation into my body from CT scans to everything else,” she continued.

Applegate shared that she thinks she discovered the cause of her symptoms within the last month.

“Now, maybe this isn’t what’s happening, but I’m just gonna tell you this: Talk to your doctor about motility issues, OK? Because one of the things with MS is that it slows down our organs — not completely, but there is a slowing of the function of your organs,” the actress said.

The “Dead to Me” alum further divulged that sometimes her body works double-duty when she uses the bathroom.

“I’m gonna be really honest, if I have to poop, I puke. And when I puke, I get all the pain, and then all the things happen,” she said, calling the bodily response “the fight club.”

“So, there’s this really horrible argument,” Applegate explained. “It’s like everyone’s fighting with each other.”

However, the “Bad Moms” star said doctors have told her that the symptoms are unrelated to her MS.

But that hasn’t stopped Applegate from advocating for herself, including going in for a colonoscopy this week and having a “big conversation” with her medical team.

“There’s gotta be a correlation here,” she said on the podcast.

The “Sweetest Thing” actress was diagnosed with MS in early 2021.

In March 2024, she revealed to People that she has to wear diapers “because you probably can’t get to the bathroom in time.”

Josh Gad knows how to build a snowman – and how to successfully Snapchat his two daughters.

When the Frozen actor’s two daughters — Isabella Eve, 11, and Ava Tanya, 14, who he shares with longtime wife Ida Darvish — started pestering him about letting them use social media, Gad admits he was hesitant at first.

“We are the parents who are screamed at every day of the week by our children saying, ‘Why can’t you just be like everyone else’s parents and let us have unlimited screen time and phone time?’ ” Gad jokes to PEOPLE. “But the truth is I think we’re both aware of the fact that this technology is addictive, clinically proven to be addictive, and at the same time unavoidable.”

The actor explains that he didn’t want to isolate his daughters from their friends by restricting them from a way to communicate, but he and his wife weren’t comfortable with some of the social media apps that were on the market. Until they found Snapchat.

“When we determined that her friends were using [Snapchat] as their primary source of communication, my wife saw that Snapchat had a family center with controlled settings,” Gad admits, referencing his older daughter Ava. “And it immediately gave both parties, my daughter and us, the reassurances that we need to allow her to use this as her primary source of communication.”

While he says he and his wife trust their kids “implicitly,” Gad didn’t trust other people on the Internet who might not have their best interests at heart.

“So any ability to monitor and hopefully prevent that kind of unwanted communication, I think that it should be the focus of every single one of these services,” he continues.

“And to Snapchat’s credit, they really put their money where their mouth is, and have created and continue to adjust this service that parents like us, who are skeptical of allowing our kids to jump onto these platforms, we can breathe easier at night knowing that we are in control of the destiny of what this looks like.”

Gad says that his entire family has gotten onboard with Snapchat — even his 76-year-old mother.

“My niece would never text with my 76-year-old mother, and my mom got so frustrated and she kept trying to text her, and I think she learned the word ghosting off of their attempts at communication,” he jokes. “So my mom learned about Snapchat and downloaded it, and now my niece and her communicate all the time.”

The Book of Mormon alum says Snapchat’s been a “really fun form of engagement” for his family and notes that they still can enforce screen time with their daughters.

“We’re sort of like, when you’ve got your 20 to 30 minutes, use it. If you want to use it Snapping silly pictures with friends, and we’re aware of what you’re Snapping, and not that we creep on you all the time, but we make sure that no unfiltered things are coming through, not necessarily going out, I’m all for it,” explains Gad.

“I’m like, ‘Yes, have fun. I get it. I know that that’s how you want to talk to your friends,'” he adds.

The star says he knows he needs to work on his Snapchat skills since his daughters now consider texting “archaic.”

“I now know it’s an inevitability that I’m going to need to up my own Snapping because I see my daughters quickly losing a desire to communiSate with me in other traditional ways, like the dinner table,” says Gad. “So I’m like, ‘Okay, let’s snap about your day back and forth, if that will allow me to understand what the hell you did at school today.”

Although his younger daughter doesn’t yet have a phone to Snap with her sister, Gad says his girls are still “inseparable.”

“They’re inseparable and yet they fight all the time,” he jokes. “It’s the craziest thing. It’s like they love each other to the point that they want to hurt each other.”

Rachel Zegler hit back at a “bunch of white executives” who allegedly questioned her Latina heritage when she auditioned for a role in “West Side Story.”

“There’s confusion because I don’t have a single ounce of Latin in my name,” the New Jersey-born actress — whose mother and father are of Colombian and Polish descent, respectively — told Allure for her March 2025 cover story published Tuesday.

“When I was in the running for María in ‘West Side Story,‘ they kept calling to ask if I was legit. I remember thinking, ‘Do you want me to bring my abuelita [grandmother] in? I will. I’ll bring her into the studio if you want to meet her,’” she added.

Zegler, 23, said she was puzzled at the idea of “having a bunch of white executives have you prove your identity to them.”

She added, “It’s an interesting experience being part of that diaspora in the current climate we live in. But I love being Colombian.”

In June 2021, Disney announced Zegler would star as Snow White in a live-action remake of its 1937 animated film.

At the time, director Marc Webb told Deadline he was impressed with the rising star’s “extraordinary vocal abilities” as well as “her strength, intelligence and optimism.”

The casting made headlines six months before the release of “West Side Story,” which earned Zegler a Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy film in 2022.

The “Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes” star got a glowing letter of recommendation from “West Side Story” director Steven Spielberg, and Disney execs ultimately backtracked and agreed she was the right fit for the role of Snow White when she sang “Waiting on a Wish” and performed other scenes.

“They saw something. Something they could invest in for the future,” she told Allure.

“The reality is, I was given a chance because I could sing. My only prayer for the future of diversity and inclusion is that we invest in and nurture talent no matter what they look like.” 

“Snow White” hits theaters Friday.
