Lindsay Lohan Ordered To Gain Weight For Movie Role In, ‘The Other Side’
Posted on 01. Jun, 2009 by CSS.
Lindsay Lohan has been ordered to gain weight and undergo drug testing by the producers of her upcoming film, The Other Side.
Lindsay has such a poor reputation on the Hollywood scene for wild-child misbehavior and diva antics, the only way the former child star could be hired for the film was to agree to gain weight, attend weekly weigh-ins, adhere to a nightly curfew during filming, and undergo random drug and alcohol testing.
The makers of the upcoming motion picture thriller are familiar with Lindsay’s binge drinking and multiple trips to rehab, and insiders say they aren’t taking any chances that LiLo will suffer one of her famous relapses at their expense.
“Producers want Lindsay looking like a normal, healthy girl, not a skeleton,” a production insider tattles in the June 7 issue of Star, adding: “So they ordered her to rest up and eat more. They refuse to risk her dropping out of the movie because of her problems.”
It’s always refreshing to hear producers demanding their stars to gain weight instead of lose weight! And from the looks of things Lindsay could really benefit from this structured filming agreement!

Rev Run’s Son JoJo Arrested On Drug Charges
Posted on 11. May, 2009 by CSS.
According to the NYDN, JoJo Simmons, oldest son of legendary rapper, Joseph “Run” Simmons of RUN-DMC was arrested on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, Friday night for purchasing an unconfirmed amount of Marijuana.
Jojo was behind the wheel of his BMW, which has “JoJo” embroidered on the head rests, rolling a joint when the narcotics officers came up and knocked on his window.
At that point sources claim he attempted to put the vehicle in reverse and escape from the scene almost strking a NYPD vehicle.
Simmons was charged with criminal use of drug paraphernalia, possession of Marijuana, resisting arrest and attempted reckless endangerment. The attempted reckless endangerment charge was dropped by a judge yesterday-the charge would carry a felony sentence.
Though a statement has yet to be released from the Simmons Family, Rev Run issued a short message regarding the matter via his Twitter pager, “You can learn many things from your Children.. (Patience for instance! :-)”.
JoJo’s older sister Vanessa also made a statement via her Twitter page playing down the charges “As humans, we all make mistakes … they make up your life lessons and experiences … Jojo is ok, he just made a oops …”
I’ve made my fair share of ‘Oops’ in my life- but thankfully none of those included me running from the police!

Paula Abdul Pain Killer Confession
Posted on 05. May, 2009 by CSS.
Paula Abdul unleashes one of Hollywood’s worst-kept bombshells on the pages of the June edition of Ladies Homes Journal. Despite insisting that she has never used drugs of any kind in an interview with ABC Nightline’s Cynthia McFadden two weeks ago, the American Idol judge is finally coming clean about her twelve year addiction to pain killers.
Paula has suffered debilitating pain for years, ever since a cheerleading mishap left the “Straight Up” singer with an injured disc in her neck at 17. Paula was later involved in a car accident in 1992 and even lived through a plane crash in 1993. She had to undergo 15 spinal surgeries, which left her dependent on pain medication. By 2005, she was diagnosed with “reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome,” a chronic neurological disorder that causes severe pain. It resulted in teeth-chattering and shingles-like lesions.
In the piece, Cynthia asked Paula, “So let me just ask you the question straight up. Absolutely crystal clear you have not abused prescription drugs?”
“Never. I’ve never been drunk in my life. I don’t like it. It’s not my thing,” Paula replied. “Spending money on clothes and shoes that’s another thing. No, no, no, no, no. Will not take those drugs. And you can check my medical records there is nothing like that. I was never on Oxycontin or Vicadin or anything like that. I was on nerve medicine and anti-inflammatories.”
Paula says she wore a patch that delivered a pain medication about 80 times more potent than morphine and took a nerve medication to relieve her symptoms.
Last Thanksgiving, decided to quit popping the pills for good. She checked into the La Costa Resort and Spa, in Carlsbad, California, to ween herself off her medications.
“I could have killed myself…Withdrawal – it’s the worst thing. I was freezing cold, then sweating hot, then chattering and in so much pain, it was excruciating. But at my very core, I did not like existing the way I had been.”
Paula’s new album hits stores this fall.

More On The Ashley Biden Cocaine Video
Posted on 30. Mar, 2009 by CSS.
Hey guys, I thought you’d might like some additional info on the video I told you about earlier that allegedly features the daughter of Vice President Joe Biden snorting cocaine.
Here’s the scoop, a man claiming to be a former friend of Ashley Biden is shopping a video of the 27-year-old sniffing coke at a party in Wilmington, Delaware.
The seller and his (now former) attorney say the video was shot earlier this year, and they’re willing to part with it for $250,000, according to The New York Post and RadarOnline. Thomas Dunlap, a lawyer who had been representing the man trying to hawk the video, is no longer representing that person.
Reporters from Radar and The Post watched segments of the video, and reveal seeing a woman identical to Ashley Biden snorting a white powdery substance with a red straw in one instance and with a rolled up dollar bill in another.
The unidentified woman later jokes that the lines of powder aren’t large enough.
The man who shot it, who claims to be an attorney, said Ashley Biden was aware she was being taped and even acknowledged the camera by waving at it several times.
Ashley Biden is a social worker for a Delaware child-welfare agency. She was visible presence during her father’s campaign for the White House.
Yikes! I wonder why we haven’t heard any type of denial from the Biden camp yet….

Ashley Biden Cocaine Video

Did Ashley Biden get caught doing cocaine on video?
Ashley Biden does cocaine. Apparently. And it was caught on video. The video is for sale. The lawyer representing the man who shot the hidden video and who is trying to sell it has quit. So will the Ashley Biden cocaine video see the light of day?
In this age where everything comes loaded with a camera, why do these famous people make such idiotic moves? Remember Michael Phelps? Come on Ashley, you’re a high profile now. Gotta be smart girl or else you’ll get burned.
Even if the video never sees the light of day, this will be viewed as another chink in Joe Bidens Armor.

Kelly Osbourne Talks Rehab & A Life Long Addiction.
Posted on 22. Mar, 2009 by CSS.
Second-generation substance abuser Kelly Osbourne says she was heading down the same dangerous path as her dad, rocker Ozzy Osbourne, before she checked herself into rehab a few months ago. The newly-engaged reality star says she had two options to free herself of a long-standing addiction to painkillers: rehab or death.
Three weeks after completing a month-long stay in a rehabilitation center, Kelly Osbourne tells PEOPLE that she’s been addicted to painkillers since she was a teenager.
“I had my tonsils taken out [at age 13], and they gave me liquid Vicodin,” the TV personality recalls of her first use of painkillers. “I found, when I take this, people like me. I’m having fun, I’m not getting picked on. It became a confidence thing.”
Osbourne, 24, says that despite two trips to rehab in 2004 and 2005, she has never been clean until now.
The star, who reunites with her family for a March 31 FOX special called Osbournes Reloaded (their first collaboration since MTV’s The Osbournes), decided to seek help after suffering an intense relapse this year. Using downers to sleep through the days, she says, “I knew if I didn’t get help, I would die.”
“I’m getting a second chance [at my career],” she says, “and I want to be present for it.”
-From People
It’s great that Kelly has enough self awareness to realize at an early age that she was heading into dangerous territory. I wish her continued strength and clarity in staying sober!

In an interview with The Today Show’s Matt Lauer, Olympic champion Michael Phelps speaks out about the now infamous photo of him smoking marijuana from a bong.
“It was– really, you know, the people I hurt, you know, is my family, clearly. My friends,” he says. “The close people around me. And most importantly, the fans. And– and, you know, I realize that that hurt a lot of people.”
While the 23-year-old admits that what he did was “bad judgement” and “a mistake,” he insists he and his friends were just celebrating: “I mean, we were just celebrating, honestly. And– you know, there was probably two or three people there I didn’t know. It was a very small group. Six or seven people probably total in the whole house. Like nothing major. You know, not like a giant college house party. It was nothing like that. It was just a small group and we were just sitting around and celebrating.”
