Philip Seymour Hoffman Seeks Rehab for Heroin Abuse
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Drugs,
Philip Seymour Hoffman recently entered rehab for heroin abuse.
The Oscar-winning Capote actor - who has battled substance abuse in the past - admitted he recently fell off the wagon after 23 years of staying clean and spent 10 days in a detox facility earlier this month after he began taking heroin. The 45-year-old star told website TMZ his problems began more than a year ago when he started abusing prescription pills, which recently escalated to snorting the illegal substance, before he realized he needed help.
Philip says his heroin use only lasted one week before he checked into a clinic and he completed a 10 day rehabilitation stint last Friday. The Moneyball star has credited his "great group of friends and family" for helping him through the ordeal and he is already back at work filming his next movie in Europe.

Dina and Michael Lohan have called a truce. The divorced parents of Lindsay Lohan - who have been locked in a bitter war over how to deal with their troubled daughter - had dinner together at the W Hotel in Hollywood on Wednesday, where they agreed to attend family therapy sessions at Lindsay's rehab, the Betty Ford Clinic.
"Dina and Michael were talking nicely to each other and not fighting. There was no booze at the table.

Jessica Simpson wants to get married after her baby is born. The singer - who has had to cancel her wedding plans twice due to surprise baby news - hopes to walk up the aisle with her fiance Eric Johnson as soon as possible after the couple's second child arrives.
"[Jessica] was telling friends she wanted to get married a few months after the baby is born," a source said. The insider claims Jessica was joking during her baby shower on April 14, "Let's have this wedding already before I get pregnant with another one!'"
The 32-year-old blonde already has 12-month-old daughter Maxwell with Eric, and the pair were surprised to discover she was expecting another child - a boy, due to arrive in July - so soon after.
Jessica - who got engaged in 2010 - is very body conscious, especially due to her new role as the face of Weight Watchers, so has employed a personal chef to ensure her diet is as healthy as possible during her second pregnancy. "The chef is there all day. Jessica eats things like egg whites and sausage. It's healthier," a second source said.

Justin Bieber has been hit with another paternity claim.
A 25-year-old woman alleges the 19-year-old singer - who was hit with a false paternity claim in 2011 - is the father of her daughter after the pair supposedly had a one-night stand in February 2010 after one of his gigs in Miami, Florida. She purports the pair met at TGI Friday's after his concert and then went back to his hotel room in Gansevoort South, where she claims they slept together, and then in October 2010 she gave birth to a baby girl.
"She gave birth to a baby girl later that year, and Justin didn't know anything about it. She just wanted to protect her baby. She wanted to keep her and her family away from any spotlight. In my opinion, she does look a lot like Justin did at that same age," a source said.
The publication also printed text messages allegedly sent by Justin to the mystery woman, in which he thanks her for their night of passion and describes it as "our little secret?" However, sources close to the "Beauty and a Beat" hitmaker claim the woman's story is completely fabricated. "It's just sad that anyone would bother with this BS," a source close to the singer said.

Brooke Mueller Accuses Denise Richards of Violating Order
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Legal Issues, Photos, Paparazzi Photos,
Brooke Mueller has accused Denise Richards of violating a gag order during her sons' custody battle.
The 35-year-old blonde believes the reason she has been denied custody of her twins Bob and Max, four - whom she has with ex-husband Charlie Sheen - is partly down to photos showing Denise with the boys during a school field trip with other celebrity parents, which Brooke insists is giving the impression she is a "bad mother."
However, Denise - who has daughters Sam, nine, and Lola, seven, from her previous marriage to Charlie Sheen, and adopted little girl Eloise, 23 months - and Charlie have respected the order in place by not speaking to the media about the situation. "Denise staged the photo op to portray Brooke as a bad mother. The field trip the preschool took was to a local farm, and there were other celebs with their kids in attendance also. Halle Berry was there with daughter, Nahla, and had her picture taken also. It was a ridiculous claim for Brooke to make because there was no evidence to support her claims. Denise and Charlie have both respected the gag order and haven't spoken to the media about the situation," a source said.

Kim Kardashian's birth looks set to cost more than $1 million.
The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star is expecting her first child with rapper Kanye West in July, and the couple are splashing out more than $4,000 per day on a deluxe birthing suite at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where the 32-year-old star is expected to spend at least three days.
"This is not going to be just any delivery, even by celebrity standards. Kim has already spent tens of thousands of dollars to make sure things go down without a glitch," a source said.
Kim and Kanye have splashed out thousands to ensure the maternity suite, which features a full-size bath tub, two beds, a flat-screen TV, as well as a separate sitting room with a sofa and a dining table, will be decorated with dozens of white roses. In case the couple don't enjoy the three gourmet meals they will get each day, the reality star has also made sure several of her favorite restaurants are on call for the duration of her stay.

Angelina Jolie will miss her aunt's funeral because it clashes with the premiere of Brad Pitt's new movie World War Z.
The Salt actress - who recently revealed she underwent a double mastectomy after she was identified as carrying the BRCA1 cancer gene - lost her aunt Debbie Martin, 61, over the weekend following a battle with breast cancer but Angelina cannot make the funeral in San Diego on Sunday because she will be in London.
"We are making the final arrangements for the funeral as we speak. But we expect it to be this Sunday at noon at El Camino Memorial in Sorrento Valley near our home. Angelina will be in London on Sunday so she won't be able to attend but she has been in touch with us and with various other members of the family, which has obviously been lovely and has meant a lot to us," Debbie's husband Ron told E! News.
Ron also revealed the family are hoping to start a charity to raise money for BRCA genetic testing: "We are currently in the process of setting up a foundation in Debbie's memory and we are hoping to raise money for women who can't afford to get BRCA testing. We are hoping to work with a charity called the Clearity Foundation so that every woman in America will have access to BRCA testing that could save her life--no matter how much money she has."

George Michael has been released from hospital 13 days after falling from a moving car.
The 49-year-old singer sustained head injuries when he fell out of a Range Rover at 70mph on the M1 motorway in Hertfordshire, England, on Thursday May 16. After being treated for almost two weeks, George has now been allowed to return home.
"We can confirm that George Michael has been discharged from hospital and continues to rest and recuperate. He is well and thanks everyone for all the messages of support," a statement released on his official website read.
The "Outside" hitmaker - who lives in Highgate, north London - was seen falling out of the passenger door of the vehicle and motorist Katherine Fox who witnessed the incident revealed she had reversed her car to shield George from passing traffic while waiting for medical assistance: "I saw blood everywhere and a man on the ground. I thought someone had run across the road and been hit. I asked what had gone on and was told he tried to open the car door and shut it again because it wasn't shut properly and apparently fell out at 70mph. I was on the phone to the ambulance and said, 'You'd better come quick. This doesn't look good.'"
