Kelly Osbourne Blasts Lazy Brits
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Drugs, Drunk, Parties, Rants,
Never one to let her manners get the best of her, Kelly Osbourne has slammed lazy British teenagers.
The Dancing With the Stars contestant feels frustrated by young girls who aspire to marry a rich soccer star or have a baby to get state funded accommodation.
“I find it easier being in America. The UK is a lot harder, people have this kick you while you are down mentality. It seems like some teenagers just want to get pregnant so they can get a bigger council house. It is not OK for girls to want to grow up to be a WAG [partner of soccer player]. I find that frustrating.”
Kelly has also slammed people who live off their famous parents and spend their lives partying. The 24-year-old star, who has been in rehab four times for prescription drug dependence, explained, “A lot of celebrity kids don’t do that much with their lives. You are in a position where you are so lucky—you can do whatever you want. A lot of them waste their lives going to parties and being mean to other people.”
That doesn’t sound hypocritical at all, Kelly.

Family Gets Melanie Griffith Through Rehab
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Drugs, Drunk, Meltdowns, Rumors,
Melanie Griffith is having therapy sessions with her family.
Her husband Antonio Banderas—with whom she has 12-year-old daughter Stella, while Melanie has two other children from previous relationships—insists that Melanie will only benefit from her time in rehab if all her loved ones support her.
He told Ellen DeGeneres, “We have been following some type of therapy with other families. There are a number of invisible heroes working in Alcoholics Anonymous all around the world. I just say to families, ‘Don’t get embarrassed, just confront this problem head-on. And don’t hide from that because there is a beautiful gift at the end of this tunnel, and it is the person that you love back, and that is what I am searching for.’”
Melanie, 52, checked into Utah’s Cirque Lodge—where Lindsay Lohan and Kristen Dunst previously received treatment—in August.
It is her third stint in a treatment facility, with Melanie previously being treated for addictions to alcohol, cocaine, and painkillers. Antonio has revealed her latest stay is a preventative measure taken after she became nervous of using prescription medication following a knee injury she sustained in a skiing accident 18 months ago.

Kelly Osbourne has blamed DNA for her addiction.
The Dancing With the Stars contestant—whose father, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, has had a long-running battle with drugs and alcohol—believes that her dependence on prescription drugs is something hardwired into her genes.
Kelly, who is now drug free, told Britain’s BBC Radio 5 Live, “I don’t have any shadow of a doubt that addiction is a disease. It is in your genes. The only people in my family who don’t have that gene are my mother and my sister Amy. I consider myself lucky that I saw both sides of it. Drugs stop you from screaming on the outside, but you are still screaming on the inside. I was addicted by 16. Drugs stopped me from feeling a certain way. Some people experience euphoria, but I never felt that. They numbed me and gave me confidence. It was like a magic medicine.”
Kelly—who has been in rehab four times, most recently in January—admits that she became a recluse during her lowest points of addiction.

Jack Osbourne is still tempted by alcohol.
The Adrenalin Junkie host - who gave up drinking following a 2003 stint in rehab - sometimes considers joining in with his friends when they are out together, but manages to exercise self-control.
“Sometimes there’s the occasional desire for it. It’s usually when we’ve had a really hard day working and everyone’s sat down having a beer, it would be nice to unwind with a beer but I know what it would end up like,” he said.
Despite his own teetotal stance, Jack insists he doesn’t object to people drinking around him. “My crew has a tendency to consume ridiculous amounts of alcohol sometimes so the next day when we have to be up at five in the morning, it’s just hilarious to see everyone so hungover,” Osbourne added. “I’m pretty sympathetic, I will make fun of them though, like, hit them on the head.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Divorce, Drugs, Drunk,
Amy Winehouse was too high on drugs to record a proposed James Bond theme song.
The “Rehab” singer - who teamed up with producer Mark Ronson for the Quantum of Solace title track in 2008 - allegedly ruined the collaboration by partying too hard at the recording studio. Amy’s estranged husband Blake Fielder-Civil told Britain’s The Sun newspaper: “It just turned into an excuse for a wild drink and drugs party. She wasn’t concentrating on work.”

Rihanna hooks up with rapper Drake?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Hook-ups, Drunk, Rumors,
Rihanna was seen drinking whiskey and locking lips with former child actor-turned-rapper Aubrey “Drake” Graham at New York’s Lucky Strike Lanes and Lounge this past Monday. (Aubrey is probably better known for his work on Degrassi as Jimmy Brooks.) A source told the New York Post: “She was drinking whiskey and apple juice and making out with him all night. They were really cute together.”
Rihanna is believed to have left the trendy bowling alley with Drake around midnight. The night before, Rihanna was spotted kissing a guy at a lap dancing bar. Rihanna - whose ex-boyfriend Chris Brown allegedly assaulted her in February - took over the VIP room of New York’s Flashdancers club, and was seen getting friendly with one of the guys in her party.
A source said: “Rihanna didn’t get any lap dances herself, but she was tipping the girls a lot. And she was definitely with one of the guys in her group and kissing him all night.” The group allegedly spent around $2,500 in the club before leaving at 3:30 am.
Since then, Drake has come out and said that he and Rihanna are just friends, saying “It’s not like that at all. She’s just a friend, that’s all. A great artist.” yesterday morning on Hot 97.

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Television, Drunk, Meltdowns, Parties,
Fashionistas everywhere (myself included) have been weeping for their beloved designer, Jack McCollough, who received several injuries from 24 star Kiefer Sutherland at a Met gala after-party last week.
McCollough’s rep recently reported that his injuries were so bad that he needed surgery: “Mr. McCollough suffered a broken nose in three places as a result of the assault… He received medical treatment last night after consulting with physicians.”
Last Thursday, Sutherland was charged with third-degree assault, which can end in anywhere from a $1,000 fine to a year in jail.

Heather Locklear Arrested for DUI
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drunk, Legal Issues, Photos, Mug Shots,
UPDATE: Thanks to a plea deal, Heather has been given three years probation.
Three months after seeking treatment for anxiety and depression, actress Heather Locklear was arrested for a DUI. The 47-year-old was detained by the California Highway Patrol on Friday after a witness called 911.
Locklear, who was originally spotted driving erratically in a parking lot, was later seen parked on the side of the highway. According to the police report, “The citizen became concerned when Ms. Locklear exited her vehicle and stumbled into the traffic lane.”
This incident happened almost exactly 6 months after Heather’s ex-husband, Richie Sambora, was pulled over for drunk driving.
Although alcohol was not a factor in Locklear’s case, it’s believed the disoriented star had been under the influence of prescription medication at the time. Heather was later booked at the Santa Barbara CHP office where she eventually posted $5000 bail.

UPDATE: You can read Lily’s version of the evening on her MySpace page.
These days, telling people Lily Allen had a drunken night is like telling people Amy Winehouse is still on drugs. The news is kind of expected.
But last night in London, a surprising thing happened to Lily. Not only were her boozing ways called out—they were spotlighted in a very public forum.
While emceeing Britain’s version of the GQ Men of the Year Awards, the 23-year-old was rarely seen without a champagne glass wrapped tightly in her hands. This sad behavior (coupled with her slurred words and F-bombs) bothered Elton John so much, the co-host eventually let her know it. What followed was a very tense and nasty exchange between the two musicians.
