Melanie Griffith Back in Rehab

Melanie Griffith (52) is back in rehab once again with her rep, Robin Baum, saying:
"She is there to reinforce her commitment to stay healthy. This is part of a routine plan that was designed between her and her doctors years ago."
According to Star magazine sources, husband Antonio Banderas demanded she get help:
"The reason Melanie checked in was her husband was demanding that she get clean and sober. He told her that if she didn’t get the help she needed it would be the end of their marriage."
"Melanie’s struggling right now, but Antonio has been checking in on her as much as he is allowed, making sure she gets back on her feet. Without Antonio in her life, I honestly believe Melanie would be dead."
People don’t make trips to rehab as if it’s a yearly check up.
Griffith was in a facility in Minnesota in 1988 to battle alcoholism and cocaine addiction after shooting her Oscar-nominated role in Working Girl, and sought treatment in 2000 at Daniel Freeman Hospital in Marina Del Rey, California, for an addiction to painkillers, which she started abusing after suffering a neck injury.
Chronic (constant) pain can make a person desperate for relief.
We hope Griffith is able to beat back her addictions once again. Her body is taking a beating on the aging front.

Heidi Montag Thinks She is the Next Britney Spears

Heidi Montag thought she gave an incredible performance last night on Miss Universe, when in fact is was horrible. Montag tweeted on Twitter:
"last night was one of the best nights of my life!!!! i had so much fun! my first performance! thank you God!"
Delusional.
Access Hollywood asked “What do you think this performance Sunday night will do for your career?,” and Montag said:
“I grew up watching Britney Spears. That’s someone I inspire to be, you know, like, career wise. I think the world is ready for the next pop star and I’m ready to be the next pop galaxy, so here we go.”
The world is ready for the next pop star, but it’s not you, and besides there are already a lot of female pop stars, but few as big as Britney once was, and you Heidi will never be. Get help.
Snoop Dogg with Five Foot Pot Plant in Amersterdam Video
Snoop Dogg is in Amsterdam. What does Snoop do when he’s in Amsterdam? He buys a 5 foot pot, aka marijuana, plant, and we’re sure a lot more.
Of course, Snoop can say "It wasn’t me," because it was one of his entourage carrying the plant for him into the hotel.
No big surprise.

Michael Jackson Died from Overdose of Propofol

There is a rumor that Dr. Conrad Murray may be charged with manslaughter in the coming week, and now the toxicology results have been leaked showing that Michael Jackson died from too much Propofol mixed with other drugs. TMZ reports what Murray told cops, and other details police have gathered in their investigation so far:
Dr. Conrad Murray told cops he had been treating Jackson for 6 weeks for insomnia — giving him 50 milligrams of Propofol every night through an IV.
Murray told cops he feared Jackson was getting addicted so he reduced the dosage to 25 mg.
The morning Jackson died, Dr. Murray gave Jackson valium at 1:30 AM. Murray said the valium didn’t work so he gave the singer an IV injection of lorazepam — an anti-anxiety drug. Murray told cops Jackson was still awake, so he then gave him midazolam — a sedative.
Murray gave Jackson more drugs. He says at 10:40 AM, he administered 25 mg of Propofol. Dr. Murray told cops Jackson repeatedly demanded the drug.
As we first reported, cops found 8 bottles of Propofol in Jackson’s house after he died, but they do not know where it was purchased.
Cops also found Valium, Tamsulosin, Lorazepam, Temazepam, Clonazepam, Trazodone and Tizanidine, along with the Propofol.
The various drugs were prescribed by Dr. Murray, Dr. Arnold Klein and Dr. Allan Metzger.
Dr. Murray reportedly told cops 10 minutes after administering Propofol … he "left Jackson’s side to go to the restroom and relieve himself. Murray stated he was out of the room for about 2 minutes maximum. Upon his return, Murray noticed that Jackson was no longer breathing."
Dr. Murray says he began CPR and at some point ran downstairs and asked the chef to send up Prince Jackson, the eldest son, then Murray continued performing CPR.
Dr. Murray says he noticed that Jackson wasn’t breathing at around 11 AM. He was then on the cell phone for 47 minutes with 3 separate calls, from 11:18 to 12:05. The 911 call came in at 12:21 PM …. a much longer delay than originally reported.
Dr. Murray told cops other docs had administered Propofol to Jackson, including Las Vegas Dr. David Adams. Dr. Murray said he was at a cosmetologist’s office where Dr. Adams gave Jackson Propofol.
Interestingly, according to the warrant, Dr. Murray refused to sign the death certificate at the UCLA Medical Center.
If all these details are accurate the only opinion I could conclude was that Murray deliberately allowed Jackson to remain in a state where he was not breathing until his heart stopped, and then attempted chest compression on the bed without back support. In my opinion this is more than manslaughter. Murray’s experience, and competency, are both in question here.
The bottom line is that the coroner ruled Jackson’s death a homicide, so Murray should be charged with manslaughter or worse in 3 … 2 … 1.
