Lindsay Lohan Explains Pills Spotted In Paparazzi Shot

Lindsay Lohan has been forced to defend a box of prescription medication that was spotted in her handbag, after the paparazzi snapped away outside Chateau Mamont in Los Angeles earlier this week.

The UK tabloids have jumped on the story with headlines such as “Fears for Lindsay’s Health,” alleging that she may be “slipping back to her old ways.”

Gossip Cop contacted Lohan for an explanation, with the actress responding, “They are trazodone… a non-narcotic sleeping aid for when I travel. They’ve been prescribed to me since I was in rehab!”

Kirsten Dunst Denies Drug Addiction

'Spider-Man' star Kirsten Dunst has fought back against reports that she went to rehab to battle an addiciton to drugs, revealing she sought treatment because she was suffering from depression.

The 26-year-old made headlines earlier this year when reports of her entering Cirque Lodge treatment facility in Utah circulated around the tabloids and gossip blogs.

Opening up to U.S. television show 'Extra', Dunst explained, "I didn't go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse. I went there for depression."

“It was a good six months before I decided to go away. I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself. I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too. But I didn't know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.”

She adds, “There’s been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and it’s been very painful for my friends and family. Everyone feels like they have to defend me. They hear the rumors, and it puts them in a defensive position. Now that I’m feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something.”

Britney Knows How To Party

WENN says today that Britney Spears let some random dude do a rail of cocaine off her chest during a wild party at her Hollywood mansion just two days after losing visitation rights to see her sons. Bam! Say what you want, but this tubby bitch knows how to party.

She invited guitarist Scott Kohler and ten other revellers back to her Hollywood mansion for a party, just two days after she lost visiting rights to her two young sons.

Scott, who had met Britney earlier that night in Los Angeles club Hyde, claims one male member of the party offered Britney cocaine and "joked he wanted to do a line off her chest and she agreed."

Scott, 29, said Britney "seemed drunk" and alleged she also did coke, even though she passed a court ordered drug test the next day.

He added to In Touch Weekly magazine: "She was in a great mood. She didn't have a care in the world."

I guess we can assume where that phrase from a few days ago came from, "Eat it, lick it, snort it, fuck it!" Now can someone PLEASE bring a videocamera to one of these shin-digs and get it over and done with! Screw a plan MF sex tape, at this stage I'm imagining Britney and a room full of guys...

Martina Hingis Is A Coke Head?

In an out-of-nowhere end to Martina Hingis' comeback, the five-time Grand Slam champion revealed Thursday she tested positive for cocaine at Wimbledon and will retire for a second time rather than fight what she called a "horrendous" accusation.

"I am frustrated and angry," the 27-year-old Hingis said at a news conference in Zurich, Switzerland, her voice breaking as she fought back tears. "I believe that I am absolutely, 100 percent innocent."

She read a prepared statement ending with the vow, "I have never taken drugs," then left without taking questions.

Wow! Now there's one I didn't see coming!

Inside Britney - Ex Bodyguard Spills Beans

britney_spears_shaves_hairTony Barretto, Britney Spears ex bodyguard, has filed a declaration with the judge handling her custody case. Based on this information, the judge has ordered Britney to take randomized drug tests and parenting classes to maintain custody of her kids.

In light of these allegations, Tony has also granted an exclusive interview with ‘News of the World’. Some of the claims are just down right mind blowing, in which he describes drug use, excessive nudity, drink driving, lesbianism, and questionable parenting skills.

On her parenting skills:
Tony described how Britney kept her sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston, up late so they would sleep through the mornings and not wake her. If they woke early, a member of staff dealt with them.

Tony explained, “Britney does love her kids, but she is a fickle mother. When the kids are happy, she's happy. When they're crying or unwell, she's not sure what to do. She speaks to them in weird, creepy, baby voices, in made-up languages, which they just don't get. All it does is unsettle, upset and scare them. Often she would scream and cry uncontrollably. Imagine what that is like for young children.”

On the constant nudity:
“It's the strangest thing, she likes to expose herself. I think part of it is she likes to embarrass people and make them feel uneasy. Before I even started working for her, I was warned about her stripping. I must have seen her naked dozens of times and each time I've been extremely embarrassed. She strips off anywhere—at home, recording studios and clubs. Even at the dance rehearsals, she took all her clothes off in front of me and then bent over, not even to pick anything up. I felt my ears burning and turned my head to the wall.”

On her suspected Lesbianism:
Tony said, “She regularly stripped off when she was with girl pals in the hot tub at her Beverly Hills mansion.”

In recent months she had snogged women in public and been accused of bedding her PA Shannon Funk.

Tony went on, “Britney and her friend Alli went out a lot of the time but never brought back any men. I found it odd how two good-looking, wealthy women could never attract nice men. Girls would come back to the house and they’d all get into the Jacuzzi. Britney would strip off and there'd be loads of screaming and noise.”

Money:
Mobile phones didn't last long in the star's hands.

“In eight weeks, I saw her get through SIX expensive cellphones,’ said Tony, “She’d smash them up or throw them out of the window during phone fights with Kevin Federline.”

He goes on, “Money was no object because she didn't know the value of it. I remember she decided to go to Puerto Rico on a whim. We found a private jet she could hire. It cost £30,000. But then just before she was due to go, she changed her mind. When we told her that there was a £20,000 cancellation fee because it was such short notice, her attitude was ‘doesn't matter, don't care’.

State of Mind:
Tony was also shocked by her strange daily rituals.

“After getting up at lunchtime and drinking her Starbucks coffee, she goes to a tanning shop in Bel Air, where she spends ten minutes on a UV bed every day. After that she usually eats sushi for lunch or bowls of Special K. We were always having to go out to get her Special K. And she downs can after can of Red Bull or cola. She drinks three Red Bulls an hour. That completes her daily routine.”

On her overdose with Howie Day:
“On the surface of the dresser, I could see mounds of white powder and a straw on top. I suspected it was cocaine or powdered methamphetamines. By the side I spotted a glass pipe, which I knew from my drugs training was often used with crystal meth.”

The drug has similar effects to amphetamine and ecstasy, and overdosing has been known to cause heart failure.

Tony went on to describe, “I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Britney was completely out of it. We thought she'd overdosed. She was distraught, crying. Her skin was all waxy. She looked so ill. We tried to speak to her. My fellow bodyguard and Alli were so worried they wanted to get hold of a medic to detoxify her. We were panicking. We thought she was going to die. There was talk about where to put the detox line it was that serious—through her arm, which would make fans think she'd been injecting, or through her neck.”


So there you have it. Holy shit, remind you of anyone? All you need to do is open up MS office and using the 'find and replace' tool change Anna Nicole Smith, with Britney Spears.

I mean even if half his stories are to be believed, (and I personally don’t doubt it) then its pretty much everything we could have imagined her life to be – worse case scenario anyway.

So to sum up, Britney is a naïve, crystal meth, exhibitionist junky, who has no concept of money, sleeps with girls, and has been fucked two ways of Sunday. And now, she’s going to lose the only thing that is grounding her in any way, her kids. And IMO that’s when the shits really gonna hit the fan.

To tell you the truth I’m amazed she made it this far on her own.

Seriously, someone needs to help her, as this once upon a time pop princess has got a rendezvous with death – and the clocks ticking.

Lindsay Busted AGAIN!

lindsay lohan busted againTroubled starlet Lindsay Lohan was busted early Tuesday for possession of cocaine, driving under the influence, transporting a narcotic into a custodial facility and driving on a suspended license - her second substance-related arrest in a matter of months.

Lohan's blood alcohol level was between .12 and .13, well over the .08 legal limit, and cocaine was found in her pants pocket.


The 21-year-old actress’ arrest happened about 2:15 a.m. in Santa Monica, Calif., near Pico Boulevard and Main Street, according to sources. Lohan checked out of a Malibu rehab center on July 13, after a stay of more than six weeks. She has been wearing an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet, going to Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and receiving therapy ever since.

The "Mean Girls" star, who turned 21 on July 2, checked into the swank facility after a wild Memorial Day weekend during which she crashed her Mercedes Benz into a curb, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and was photographed slumped in the passenger seat of a friend's car. Just last Thursday, Lohan turned herself in to police to be booked on suspicion of driving under the influence during the Memorial Day weekend car crash, police said.

Accompanied by her attorney, Lohan surrendered herself at the Beverly Hills Police Department to be fingerprinted and photographed, said Officer Brian Ballieweg. She was booked on suspicion of a DUI with a blood alcohol level above .08, California's legal limit, and on suspicion of misdemeanor hit and run, Ballieweg said. After the Memorial Day incident, police said she had been arrested for investigation of driving under the influence, though she wasn't formally booked on the allegation until Thursday.

The actress was released on her own recognizance. A court date was scheduled for August 24. Lohan said in January she had checked into a rehabilitation center for substance abuse treatment.

Earlier this month, Lohan's publicist Leslie Sloane Zelnik said the star was "doing great."

"Lindsay is working hard on her sobriety and we are all supporting her," she said.

Paris Hilton was contacted to make a comment but couldn’t answer as she was laughing her ass off!!

Blame It One Ambien




John Stamos has blamed Ambien for his behavior on a couple of Australian talk shows recently. John told Us Weekly that he barely slept before the interview and only got 2 hours of sleep.

He said, "I took Ambien at 5 a.m. and got up at 7 a.m. I was OK and did a few radio interviews. Then I had a break at 10 a.m. I dozed off and couldn’t wake up. Security banged on the door, shook me and woke me up. They threw a jacket on me and put me in front of the camera. I did three or four interviews after that, and no one said a word. It was a weird very out of character hour of my life."

John said it had nothing to do with booze and he's only had about 10 drinks in the past year. He also said that he got plenty of shit from his family and friends.
John was sent home from Australia after a few loopy interview including the one above.

He took Ambien for 2 hours of sleep? I think my dog even knows you need at least 8 hours. Genius John!

Lindsay Kicks Ass

lindsay lohan kicks assLee Weaver has been Lindsay Lohans bodyguard for the past two years, but quit recently because it was too dangerous.

Not that the threats against Lindsay were too dangerous, but that Lindsay was too dangerous. Among other awesome things, the News of the World says Lindsay attacked a gun-wielding cocaine dealer for ripping her off, snorted line after line with Simple Life star Nicole Richie in a TEN-HOUR binge, and slashed her wrists with knives, sobbing that she "didn't belong on this planet".


She also enjoyed frenzied lesbian romps with scores of girls she picked up at parties — and even made a play for chart star Mariah Carey.

A direct quote from Weaver, "I have looked after some of the wildest stars in Hollywood — but never anyone as out of control as Lindsay is. She had a total death wish and took more drugs and drank more than anyone I've met”

Apparently the final straw came when she attacked a coke dealer.

“In April she asked me to take her to her dealer in Beverly Hills. I knew if I refused she'd go alone — so I took her. He was waiting for her in some bushes. Suddenly she started screaming and punching him for selling her short. He pulled a gun. I got out and he threatened to shoot me unless I got her to back off — but she kept hitting him. Luckily he got distracted and I punched him down. I dragged Lindsay into the car and drove off but she was screaming at me to go back. It was like Pulp Fiction. I knew then she was just too dangerous to be around.”


I’m telling ya this girls really starting to grow on me. Who knew she had more balls (apparently) then half of the seemingly gay guys who run Hollywood. This is the type of thing I half expected to hear from the supposed cool guys in the industry but no. Instead you’re Leo Crap-a-cocks and Matt Gay-mon’s are too busy looking at themselves in the mirror or at home raising or adopting a family. Meanwhile it’s the girls who are having all the real fun. And WTF is this bodyguard whining about? What did he think his job implied? Hiding in the bushes?!? Mate, go back to working in the mall. As for Lindsay, good for her.

Britney "Dating" Her Drug Counselor

britney spears bangs her drug counselorIn another of many great decisions, Britney Spears is reportedly dating her drug counselor, John Sundahl.

He was recommended to Spears by somebody at the Promises rehab facility, but when she visited his house in Beverly Hills to discuss how she'd stay sober, they ended up sticking their tongues into each other's mouths.

A source says: "Britney and John ended up making out beside the pool — and Britney acted like she didn’t care who saw her. She’s got no shame.”

Lindsay Lohan Doing Coke

lindsay lohan doing coke New pictures of Lindsay Lohan participating in a marathon cocaine binge, dubbed Blohan 2007, have surfaced compliments of a British tabloid.

Sordid snaps of Lindsay snorting drugs and shoving it up a pal's nose was taken as she and two friends crammed into a club toilet during a wild night on the town.

Then the Mean Girls star bragged to the others: "I'm going to New York tomorrow to fuck Jude Law."

Now a friend of the 21-year-old actress says she is spiralling out of control since rehab and revealed that Lohan:

SNORTED 20 lines of cocaine in one night alone.
STRIPPED down to a thong before inhaling the drug off a coffee table.
BRAGGED of wild sex sessions with a host of celebrities including singer James Blunt and model Calum Best.

The friend added, “Lindsay does not care who sees her do coke and where she does it.” And she has not managed to stay off the booze either.

“She carries round a water bottle to try to fool everyone into thinking she is clean but she tips the water out and refills it with vodka and soda.”

But she was caught out by a secret film made as she snorted the Class A drug at the exclusive Teddy's nightclub in Hollywood's Roosevelt Hotel.

The video shows her arriving at 11pm and skulking round the toilets before creeping inside a cubicle. Wedged inside the loo with two friends, Lohan pulls a small bag of white powder from her jeans pocket. She dips her finger in and shoves the substance up one friend's nose before snorting some up her own. And this was filmed just 20 days after she proudly emerged from therapy.

Lindsay, who starred with Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday, booked herself into the £20,000-a-month Wonderland treatment centre in Los Angeles earlier this year saying she wanted to get off booze. She checked out after a month and was back doing drugs at a Hollywood party within a week.

Her friend said, “That night I saw her do more than 20 big lines of cocaine. She was still up doing drugs at 11am even though she had started about 8pm the night before! She wasn’t even trying to hide it and was blatantly doing it off table tops, keys, books and in the wardrobe, where she was hunched over with her legs crossed almost bent in half doing it off some magazine on the floor.

She continues, “I remember looking at her and thinking how pathetic she looked and how out of control she had become. When she is on coke, which is most of the time, all the attention has to be on her. I have lost count of the number of times I have watched as she stripped naked in front of everyone. Then she loves to check herself out in the mirror as she parades around with her boobs hanging out. One night we had gone back to her place and, as always, as soon as she walked through the door she stripped down to her thong, bent down and snorted cocaine off her coffee table and then off her toilet seat."

But Lindsay is not only addicted to booze and drugs, she is also hooked on sex with some of Hollywood's hottest men, says the insider.

“She has told me that she has slept with James Blunt, Jude Law, Calum Best, Joaquin Phoenix, Benicio Del Toro, Jared Leto and James Franco," admitted the friend.

“She loves Brits and has told me she has slept with the singer James Blunt a few times over the past month. The last time was on April 15 after another house party. I think they went back to a hotel together afterwards. She is very protective over him and when she heard I had met him she sent me a text saying, 'Stay away from him Bitch, he is mine.'”

“Lindsay told me she has messed around with Leonardo DiCaprio a while ago too but claimed that she didn't sleep with him. She also flew to New York about two months ago to go to bed with Jude Law.”

She added, “Last November she slept with Calum Best. She didn't tell me if he was any good but she is usually too wasted to know what is going on anyway.”

Lindsay was living it up with old pal Paris Hilton at the Coachella music festival in Palm Springs last week and almost falling out of her dingy grey bra top. In public Lindsay insists she is sober but, as our video stills show, she is still a hopeless addict and her friend claims the stint in therapy was just a stunt.

She said, “Going to rehab was all for publicity. She wanted people to see her seeking help but it hasn't got her off the drugs at all.”

In an average night Lindsay will do two and half grams of coke on her own.

“She doesn't buy it - she is given it by friends and acquaintances, and it turns her into an angry monster. I have watched many a time Lindsay treating her staff like crap.”

Her friend is convinced that if she does not tame her wild ways she could meet a tragic end.

“That's why I'm showing this video,” she admitted, “So the world can know what Lindsay has been doing and she can't lie about it to herself or anyone else.”

Customs Raid Stallone's Hotel Room

customs raid sylvester stallone hotel roomCustoms officials raided the hotel room of US movie star Sylvester Stallone on Monday day as members of his entourage were seen throwing items out of the window, it has been reported.

The Daily Telegraph Online website reports the Rocky star's private jet was also searched, delaying Stallone's departure from Australia by three hours on Monday night.


The actor and his party were stopped at Sydney airport by Australian Customs Service officers on his arrival on Friday night. They were delayed for about two hours after routine X-rays of their luggage revealed several prohibited items.

Customs would not confirm the nature of the items, but it is believed banned body building drugs could be among them.

The website reports the investigation was stepped up after a visit to Stallone's Sydney hotel room revealed further evidence relating to the investigation over the importation of illegal substances.

A senior Customs source told the Daily Telegraph the investigation was fast-tracked after occupants of Stallone's room at the Park Hyatt Hotel were seen throwing items out of the window.

Customs officials had visited the Hollywood star to issue him with a summons to answer charges on the prohibited substances, which would have required a court appearance by him or his legal representative at a later date, the website said.

A Customs spokesman said investigations were ongoing and they were aware that Stallone had left the country as planned on Monday evening.

When quizzed about the incident at the Sydney premiere of his latest film, Rocky Balboa, on Saturday night, the 60-year-old laughed it off.

"That was just a misunderstanding," Stallone said.

"Customs is doing a great job. I just didn't understand some of the rules here."

When asked on the red carpet what was in his luggage, he joked, "My wife".

Denise Richards Does Coke on Beach

So it seems Denise Richards is in the news again, but here she is allegedly snorting some cocaine and playing it off like she just put on lip balm. She really sticks to her lip balm story so it's tough to tell what exactly is going on.

Although there's some potential white residue in her nose here which makes me lean towards the cocaine theory. Plus if you check the closeup most people don't apply lip balm to their noses. I mean my friend Joe used to do it, but he was just stupid as hell.

Lohan Just Wants Some McSex

Lindsay lohan just wants some mcsexI guess Rehab isn't getting rid of any of Lindsay Lohan's notorious habits. Usmagazine.com has learned that Lohan, 20, who entered L.A.'s Wonderland rehab center on Jan. 18 to treat her addiction issues, has been sending bachelor-about-town Brody Jenner, 23, sexy text messages for the last couple weeks. They go on to say:

We've eye-balled one particularly flirtatious sext-message that Lohan sent Jenner - former flame of Kristin Cavallari, Nicole Richie and Lauren Conrad - last Saturday night in which the 12-stepper, among other requests, texted that all she wanted was "McDonald's and sex."

When asked by Usmagazine.com to comment on Lohan's textual pursuit, Jenner, who just signed a deal to be a spokesman for Scope mouthwash, said, "Sorry, dude. I don't text and tell."

A rep for Lohan couldn't be reached for comment.

Miss USA Admits Coke Use

In her first television interview since completing her 31-day stint in a Pennsylvania rehab center, second-chancer Tara Conner opened up on the Today show, admitting to Matt Lauer that some of the more salacious tabloid tales that preceded her decision to get treatment were indeed true.

"I have done cocaine," she said in an interview scheduled to air on Dateline this Saturday but teased on the morning show Wednesday.

The 21-year-old Kentucky sash wearer had already copped to an alcohol addiction at a press conference last month in which pageant purveyor Donald Trump allowed her to keep her crown, provided she seek treatment.

However, her sit-down with Lauer is the first time in which she's publicly admitted to anything more than a fondness for libations.

Of her decision to actually tell all during the tell-all, Conner said that admitting her problem "gets it off my chest."

"In being honest with you, at first I kind of held back on it a little bit but there's no sense in it," she said. "Luckily, the great thing about getting everything out, and being completely open and honest about things, it frees me from it. So the more I get it off my chest, the better I feel about myself."

"It's not healthy for my recovery to sit here and hold things back."

Her road to recovery kicked off on Dec. 21, when Conner, amid allegations of toxic partying—the lowlights of which centered around men, drugs, clubs and booze—and the threat of losing her crown, entered into Pennsylvania's Caron Foundation for a monthlong go at treatment. She checked out of the center on Jan. 21 and has since moved from her Trump Tower apartment to a smaller abode in uptown Manhattan, which she reportedly shares with a roommate: a Trump-approved minder.

Conner, who earlier this week copped to the fact that she had her first drink at age 14, also told Lauer that despite the rocky road she's traversed in the past few months, she nevertheless wouldn't change a thing in her past "because it gave it me my future."

While Conner's full interview won't air until Saturday, the reigning Miss USA will appear live on Today Thursday morning to answer questions sent in by viewers.

One unlikely inquirer: Lauren Nelson.

The 20-year-old Oklahoma native was crowned the new Miss America Monday night and while her pageant has traditionally been regarded as the more aspirational of the national Miss competitions, her crowning moment has been all but overshadowed—Trumped, as it were—in the wake of the ongoing Miss USA saga.
