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.”

Lindsay is a Homewrecker

Sources reporting today that Lindsay Lohan’s new boyfriend was engaged to a woman named Bree Tiernay, and Bree only found out that her fiance had moved on when she read about in the tabloids.

Us has learned that her new beau, Riley Giles - a snowboarder she met during her two-month stay at the Cirque Lodge treatment center in Utah - has a messy past. Until recently, he was engaged to Murray, Utah, resident Bree Tierney.


“Riley just stopped calling Bree and never told her about Lindsay,” Bree’s mom, Tess, explains, “She found out by seeing photos. It destroyed her.”

Another source adds, “Lindsay may be in danger with Riley.” And the concerns may be warranted.

Giles escorted Lohan to the Hotel Bar and Nightclub in Salt Lake City on October 5 - the same day she checked out of rehab.

Britney Spears Is Easy

If you thought Britney couldn’t sink any lower well then think again as Us are reporting on a story on Britney and her latest drunken whoring. A guy by the name of Matt Encinias tells them he was an extra on her latest video shoot and when the day ended he and several others were invited to hang out in the pool at the Standard hotel.

Tons of booze followed, as did Britney taking off her clothes and making out with Matt – a guy she just met!

Although Spears was expecting her two young sons to be dropped off at her Beverly Hills home at noon (as per her custody arrangement with K-Fed), the singer had arranged to have the pool reopened at 2am for the exclusive use of her group, which included then-assistant Shannon Funk and some hand-picked male extras from her video shoot.

“Britney was drinking Mojitos and Jack Daniel’s. It was when the alcohol started running low that an inebriated Spears, 25, suggested a game of Truth or Dare. I was dared to get naked and get out of the pool and walk as though I was on a catwalk in a fashion show,” says Encinias, “Britney was laughing really hard.”

Then he explains:

“Suddenly she shocked everyone by just stripping out of her top. She was the first one to undress, and then everyone else followed. I turned around and saw that she was topless and she had fake tattoos of flowers on her nipples from the shoot. She went into the pool topless - her boobs were exposed and she had a drink in her hand and a hat on with sunglasses.”

“I was told all she wanted to do that night was kiss a boy,” the 5’10” California native continues, “And that’s what she did. Mission accomplished.”

“She straddled me and put her legs around me. When I started kissing her I did everything in my power - from my previous experience of kissing girls - not to mess it up. Britney had more drinks - she was having Jack and more Mojitos in between me feeling her up, her boobs, and kissing her on her neck. Her body was very nice. It was sexual and sensual kissing. It took some effort to perfect. She is a great kisser - I’d actually say a phenomenal kisser.”

Matt then explains that he was invited back to Britney’s suite once the party was over at 4am:

“I went in and found Britney lying on the bed with her knees up and just a pair of pink panties on. She was looking like she was ready - and I wanted to finalize it.”

Matt was planning on spending the rest of the night in her bed – that was until one of his friends collapsed and nearly drowned from all the booze he had downed, causing Britney’s bodyguards to step in and order Matt to take his friend home.

Matt’s adds, “In the end we had to say our goodbyes.”

Lindsay Busted AGAIN!

Troubled 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!!

Britney Spears Is Tox-sick

Another night, another LA party girl hits the deck, hard!

But seriously, somebody needs to ship Britney back to rehab a.s.a.p. The Toxic pop princess had to be carried out of the men’s toilets of an exclusive LA hotel bar on Sunday night after she was discovered vomiting uncontrollably.

During the incident she was overheard telling hotel staff, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Things aren’t going well for me at the moment.”

Talk about an understatement! The troubled star, who spent a month in rehab earlier this year, was then carried out of the bar sobbing and covered in sick. It’s not unusual to see Britney out on the town these days, but never in this kind of sorry state. The singer disappeared to the bathroom just an hour after arriving at the Mondrian Hotel’s swanky Sky Bar with five friends. And it wasn’t long before hotel security got a call saying she needed urgent help.

Insiders explain, “Britney was found slumped over the toilet bowl with make-up smeared over her face and her wig hanging off.”

“She had a room booked at the hotel but was too ill to stay and was begging her bodyguard to take her home. She looked a real mess and was sitting on the floor with her head over the bowl throwing up.”

“There was vomit down the front of her black dress and around her mouth. Britney was on her knees and must have been sick four or five times. She didn’t really seem with it, but I don’t know if she was drunk or not.”

The mother-of-two then had to be helped out of the hotel because she couldn’t stand up by herself.

The source adds, “It was really sad. Everyone thinks she’s getting back on track after her comeback shows but that’s clearly not the case. I think she needs proper help.” ...and maybe just the odd night in with her kids?

Yesterday, Britney posted an epic letter on her website trying to explain the last few months.

She wrote, “Recently, I was sent to a very humbling place called rehab. I truly hit rock-bottom. But till this day I don’t think that it was alcohol or depression.”

Apparently blaming and referring her downfall to ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) she said, “I was like a bad kid running around with ADD.”

She added, “I just want the same things in life that you want... and that is to be happy.”


Well heck, isn’t that sweet. But don’t change on our account. I would have thought the first part to getting help would be to admitting you have a problem to begin with. Jesus, are all these girls in frickin living in denial or what? You got Paris speeding around unlicensed, Lindsay getting drunk and jumping curbs with her SLK, and Britney rolling around on the floor of dirty night bathrooms coughing up her lungs and what she had for breakfast. How glamorous.

Mischa Barton Hospitalized

Former “O.C.” star Mischa Barton spent the weekend in an L.A. hospital after mixing booze with prescription antibiotics. TMZ reports:

[Barton] was at a friend’s Memorial Day BBQ enjoying a few holiday cocktails when she began to feel extremely ill.

Mischa, who has been quite sick with bronchitis since traveling to Cannes, London and Paris the past several weeks, apparently didn’t [know] that you can’t drink alcohol while taking antibiotics!

The 21-year-old celeb was rushed to an undisclosed medical facility in Los Angeles.

Lindsay Busted For DUI, Coke

After coking it up and pile driving a roadside shrubbery with her car Saturday night, Lindsay “Nose Candy” Lohan was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of an accident. According to Fox News:

Lohan, 20, and two other people were in her 2005 Mercedes SL-65 when it crashed on Sunset Boulevard around 5:30 a.m.


It appeared Lohan was speeding...[and] officers at the scene found a “usable amount” of a drug tentatively identified as cocaine. Lohan was driven in another car to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

The two other people in her car were not hurt. Officers arrested Lohan at the hospital for investigation of misdemeanor driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Lohan will have to appear in court to answer the citation.

Fergie Too Drunk To Fly

A UK Newspaper says that Fergie was banned from boarding a Virgin Atlantic flight out of Los Angeles this week because she was so drunk, it was decided she was in no shape to fly. She was not allowed to board the plane and the flight was delayed for an hour while her luggage was removed. Sources say:

The singer, 31, was about to fly from Los Angeles to Britain with bandmates when airline staff saw she was slurring her words and could hardly stand. Fergie, who has battled booze and drugs, drunkenly raged at them and had to be pulled away by friends.

One witness said: "She was falling all over the place and had to be supported. She was in no state to fly. But when she was prevented from boarding she couldn't believe it. She was drunkenly ranting at staff but could barely string a sentence together. It was very embarrassing."

Miss USA: I Will Always Be An Addict

Saucy Miss USA Tara Conner tells the Lexington Herald-Leader, a paper in her homestate of Kentucky, that she's "always going to be an alcoholic addict," and points out that hey, she's off the clock starting March 23, when the next Miss USA is crowned.

Tara adds that appearing in Broadway's "Chicago" is a "possibility."

haha, isn't it nice to see just how well rehab helps all these young startlets. It seems - in through one ear and out the other...

Britney Leaves Rehab, Again!

ET Online says that Britney Spears has left Promises rehab facility in Malibu early this morning, less than 24 hours after checking in!!

There has been no conformation of this by representatives for Britney. This time last week, Britney checked into the Crossroads Centre, a rehab facility in Antigua, and left that facility as well in less than 24 hours.

FFS - we can barely keep up with this woman!!

Britney Back In Rehab

Britney Spears is back in rehab. Sources say the singer has checked into an in-patient facility in Los Angeles. The move apparently came after family members, including her mom, pressed her to check in.

A rep for the singer told PEOPLE, "Britney Spears has voluntarily checked herself into an undisclosed rehab facility today. We ask that the media respect her privacy as well as those of her family and friends at this time."

Last week, Spears checked herself into a rehab facility in Antigua but checked out less than 24 hours later.

Nicole Richie Charged With DUI

Nicole Richie has been charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence. The DA says Richie is charged with being under the influence of "an alcoholic beverage and a drug."

Richie was arrested on December 11 on suspicion of driving under the influence, when she was stopped for going the wrong way on the 134 Freeway in Burbank. At the time of her arrest, Richie admitted she had taken Vicodin and smoked pot, but never mentioned consuming any alcohol.

Richie will be arraigned in Los Angeles County Superior Court in Glendale, Calif. on February 21.

Britney Enters, Exits Rehab?

Reports are coming in that Britney Spears checked into a rehab facility two days ago but refused to stay and immediately checked out less than 24 hours later.

The facility was located outside the country and she's currently on her way back to Los Angeles.

Wow, a whole fucking day of rehab. I wonder if we'll even be able to recognize her anymore after the big change.

Bikini Britney Keeps Clubbing

MOTHER of the Year Britney Spears didn't let a night of throwing up in Tenjune's bathroom halt her party plans. The tipsy tart was back in action Sunday night, donning a bikini and white busboy coat at One Little West 12th.

"She didn't like what she was wearing," says a spy, "so she asked one of the dancers to trade clothes with her."

Spears then changed out of her tight red dress and returned wearing the bikini under the coat - and proceeded to dance.

Yeah, so is that what they call it these days when two girls go into the bathroom to fool around together for a few minutes - just clothes swapping? Oh yeah, I believe that... lol

Britney Wants To Get Laid

Britney Spears, who seems unaware that she has two infants at home in a closet playing with plastic bags, has been stepping up to the plate like a real champ.

Last night she hit Marquee in New York, and according to Page Six, "was partying like a college girl looking to get laid".

[At Marquee] sources said she was dancing with her girlfriends and "demanded all alcohol be kept far away from her."

But other witnesses weren't buying that.

"She must have been drinking secretly in the bathroom," said one, "Because she was falling all over the place. She was also chomping on lollipops from the bathroom all night, and she didn't leave any money for the bathroom attendant."

Spears' wild night then continued at club Tenjune, where she was seen arriving at 2:30am with a group of friends. "Britney was completely hammered," said a witness.

Again, the tank top-clad party girl asked that no alcohol be put on the table - but clubgoers saw her dancing on the banquettes and "drinking what looked like vodka and O.J."

Later, "A model guy came to her table and she started making out with him."

Hahaha, I bet that guy must have some stories to tell - I almost feel sorry for him.

Mary-Kate Olsen Is Drunk and Horny

What is it about Bungalow 8 that makes celebrities get hot, sweaty, and horny? Tuesday night, Mary-Kate Olsen was apparently "weaving around and kept falling off the banquettes she was dancing on," insiders said.

"She made out with three random guys and was wearing a Mardi Gras mask." A rep for the tiny twin noted that she was sober and declined comment.



Yeah, I bet she did. I guess it isn't a real Mary-Kate Olsen story unless she's wearing something stupid or like in this case, a Mardi Gras mask? Wow, what a tremendous disguise?

Lohan Just Wants Some McSex

I 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.

Hilary Gets Sloppy at Hyde

Hilary Duff was far from her usual goody-two-shoes self on January 25 when she and older sister Haylie showed up at L.A. club Hyde with a huge entourage.

Usmagazine.com tattler tells us that Hilary -- who has been single since splitting in November from Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden (he's currently dating Nicole Richie) -- arrived arm-in-arm with her sis' a little after 11 p.m., looking tipsy.

Hilary, 19, soon was teetering over to the women’s restroom with one of her girlfriends and a "flamboyant" male friend.

“It was kind of inappropriate,” the onlooker sneers. “She was pretty drunk and staggering around the bathroom, bumping into people and shrieking that her gay male friend had a vagina so it was okay for him to be there.”

The sisters continued to party Paris Hilton-style throughout the night at a VIP table, where our source says they were “all over” their two man-dates. Haylie 21, whispered in the ear of her 30-ish-year-old date while kissing his neck. Hilary perched on her date’s lap, laughing and flirting with her own older man.

Says the source: “When I’ve seen Hilary out in the past, she has been relatively composed, but tonight she was acting pretty wild.”

Britney Passes Out on NYE

Seems like Britney's hard-partying ways may finally be catching up with her. The pop princess reportedly passed out shortly after leading a New Year's Eve countdown at Caesars Palace's Pure nightclub in Las Vegas.

At 12:45 a.m., after swigging some champagne and dirty dancing to her own "I'm a Slave 4 U," the party mom "went into a dead faint and just fell right on the floor," reports the New York Post. Her entourage picked her up, shielded her from gawkers with an oversized, hooded poncho and quickly whisked her out of the club. We're guessing this isn't the kind of attention Caesars was expecting when they paid Spears the big bucks to show up at the bash.

Spears' manager, Larry Rudolph, claims that "nothing out of the ordinary" happened to Miss Brit. "She was not drunk," he says. "She was just tired and falling asleep."
