Celebrity Drug Use

[marywebgirl]

Because Vacationland asked for it, and we all know the real reason Cameron Diaz fell off her dresser.

And landed on her head and knocked herself out for a few hours. Jeez. Nothing like reiterating the obvious, there, Cameron.

She's the one who shoots up between her toes, right?

Ooo! A thread by request! I feel special. If I was still a smoker, I'd light up a celebratory cigarette and bask in the addictive glory of it all. Ahhh, good times, good times.

So, anyone got a fave celebrity rehab story? A likely candidate for a long stint in Promises Malibu or Hazelden or Betty Ford? Insider dirt on a famous rehab veteran who's been slipping of late? Odds on a reformed drinker/drugger staying sober? Favorite euphemism for "coked out of her skull" (I like "fell off her dresser") or "zoned on demerol" (*cough*CEMJ's "back pain"*cough*) or "drunk in public...again" (I was always fond of "Celebrity X appeared tired and emotional last night...").

Absolutely unsurprising rehab story of the week: Billy Joel is a big drunk and is drying out again, after his "gastrointestinal distress" (a.k.a. "Pancreatitis as a result of chronic alcohol abuse"). That has been a long frickin' time coming. I was wondering if we were going to have to wait for him to drunkenly run over a toddler or a puppy in front of a dozen paparazzi and a crew from Entertainment Tonight to do something about his longtime boozing.

Surprising (and incredibly skeevy, if those tapes are really him) rehab story of the week: Pat O'Brien.

Scary Celeb Drug Abuser of the Year (so far): Meth addict Tom Sizemore and his prosthetic penis fail a random drug test, grossing out America in the process.

Runner up: Anna Nicole "Trimspa (& Cocaine and god knows what else), Baby!" Smith. Put your clothes back on, you incoherent skank.

Anyone else miss Scary Cokehead Trainwreck Courtney Love? She seems so...normal, now. Where's the fun in that?

Hilarious stuff about Pat O'Brien and his "sexy" drink-n-dialing here .

Not that I would ever drink-n-dial. No sir, not me!

And looky here, Crackhead Whitney is giving rehab another go.

Call me an optimist, but I'm pulling for her, if only it'll give her another chance to see her abusive scrub of a husband without chemical enhancement and finally dump his sorry, freeloading ass.

I have it on good authority (i.e. a first-person witness) that a certain flame-haired (well, naturally flame-haired) Aussie is coked to the gills most of the time.

I'd also like to say that, whenever I see any celeb getting dangerously thin my default position is ALWAYS 'cokehead'. Hello, MK Olsen. Who knows whether she has an eating disorder or not, but the thingie she went to is known for substance abuse rehab, NOT eating disroder rehab. The tabs are all to cowed by her scary lawyers to say anything beyond innuendo, tho'.

Edit: re: Pat O'Brien? Gross! It's always that much grosser to discover the guy you thought was a big old square was really a coke-n-hookers loving sleazeball. Ugh.

Ohhhh, deliciously scandalous. And surprising. I know she's a Botox addict, but never would have taken her for a cokehead.

I'd like to contribute Paula Abdul to this thread. With each progressive American Idol episode, she flies higher and higher. I look for her to be in a thingy soon.

[foxfair]

Newmy, I did the whole "NO! No WAY!" thing when I heard as well and then I thought about it...I mean, just LOOK at her, and also, take what you know about her, her position in H-Wood etc. After I gave it some thought I came to the conclusion that it would actually be weirder if she *wasn't* into the Columbian Energy Powder, to some degree. Coke use in H-Wood is so, so much more widespread than most civilians think.

Ooh, Foxfair, can you spill? I remember a year or so ago, there was a Fox411 BI which pretty much said the same thing.
