Amy Winehouse Goes to Rehab

amy rehabbing Amy Winehouse Goes to Rehab

Yesterday I said, "Amy needs to be involuntarily admitted for a psychiatric consult, and then shipped off to involuntary rehab, because now it’s a life or death situation." Guess what? Amy Winehouse went to The Priory rehab centre last night. Here’s more:

Amy Winehouse will die unless she tackles her demons, friends of the singer warned last night.

Amy, 23, who was rushed to hospital after collapsing on Wednesday, checked into The Priory rehab centre in London yesterday as family members admitted that her relentless drink and drug lifestyle had pushed her to the brink.

One friend said: "It’s not an exaggeration to say that unless she sorts herself out, this relentless dalliance with drink and drugs will only have one ending. And it won’t be happy. It’s time for some tough love which is why we’ve taken her to get help."

Sounds like she was involuntarily admitted. Tough love. On the bright side, now she can sing about rehab, and how it’s like a magical garden where everyone is smiling, playing games, and sucking on lollipops.

Lindsay Lohan Body Guard Blames Her Parents

lindsay young Lindsay Lohan Body Guard Blames Her Parents

Tony Almeida was Lindsay Lohan’s bodyguard from 2002 to 2005, and he says that Lindsay’s parents are very much to blame for her wild ways. He says they let her do whatever she wanted from a very young age – including sex and drugs – as long as she kept working because her paychecks kept them living in luxury. Page Six says:

Almeida says, "From a young age, she dealt with her father’s physical, emotional and drug abuses as well as her mother’s drinking."

Once, when Lindsay was 16, Michael flew into a rage while driving and "slammed on the brakes and dragged her out of the car, pushed her up against the hood, screamed at her and called her a slut. This was on the Long Island Expressway! I got in the middle of it and pulled him off."

Meanwhile, Dina often "let her do whatever she wanted, just to keep her happy and working . . . [At her 16th birthday party] Lindsay drank whatever she wanted – I saw her drinking beer and mixed drinks with my own eyes [without Dina’s intervention]."

As Lindsay’s manager, Dina – who was desperate to become a star herself – received 10 percent of her income. "Lindsay was the family cash cow – and she resented it," Almeida claims. "They counted on her to pay their bills . . . I saw Lindsay exhausted, begging her mother for some time off."

Young Lindsay’s parents looked the other way as she began a life of boozing, boys and drugs. When she was 15, they allowed her to share a room with her then-14-year-old boyfriend, Aaron Carter, at Loews in Miami Beach. Almeida relates, "They knew Lindsay was sleeping in Aaron’s room. But they seemed happy she had chosen somebody who could benefit her singing career."

By age 18, Lindsay had moved on to harder substances. Almeida recalls walking in on her and another celebrity in a closet at a club one night as they sniffed white powder.

The ex-bodyguard also claims Lindsay cried out for help for years by cutting herself and threatening suicide.

As if everyone didn’t already know all that. Well at least Tony will make a few bucks telling the same recycled story. What is new is the tough love from Michael Lohan when he called his daughter the slut she is. It’s true that Lindsay could have two pet rocks for parents, and they would give her better guidance, but now every teenager with an ounce of rebellion will want to have parent’s as cool and irresponsible as Lindsay’s. Good going Mr. Almeida.

Trivia: Tony Almeida was the name of Jack Bauer’s right-hand man for five seasons on “24.”

Amy Winehouse Drug Overdose

amy drugs Amy Winehouse Drug Overdose

The Sun UK is reporting today that Amy Winehouse was admitted to the hospital for a drug overdose, and not exhaustion as her record company reported. The Sun says Amy was given adrenaline and her stomach pumped. Let’s get technical for a moment. Adrenaline would be used only if Amy was having a circulatory collapse from her heart stopping, or a severe lack of fluids, but they would simply give her fluids intravenously first. Adrenaline causes the heart to beat fast, and so do some drugs, which means that it is unlikely she received adrenaline, unless staff thought she was overdosing and having a very severe allergic reaction to something, and couldn’t give her benadryl due to its sedative side effect. It is likely her stomach was pumped. First they might try gastric lavage to try to get out pill fragments, but in this case staff shove a big tub down her throat and into her stomach. Bottles of activated charcoal are then fed into the tube to absorb any drugs still in her stomach. The gastric lavage part is technically the stomach pumping. The drug used to stop the drugs in her blood from working is usually Narcan, but it is most effective with opiate drugs, so it really depends on what she overdosed on.

Amy needs to be involuntarily admitted for a psychiatric consult, and then shipped off to involuntary rehab, because now it’s a life or death situation.

It’s a wonder Amy has any fans left at all. She doesn’t show up to half her concerts, and yet she still gets nominated for awards. I wouldn’t give her a job as a scarecrow, even though she’d probably be darn good at it.

    Damn, she is so disgustingly ugly! Auschwitz body, sleezy hair, horrible eye make-up, excessive tattoos on her arms. I guess ...

Lindsay Lohan Back in Rehab

lohan passed out Lindsay Lohan Back in Rehab

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly entered the Cirque Lodge drug and alcohol rehab center in Sundance, Utah. According to sources inside the facility, Lindsay arrived over the weekend to start an "intense rehabilitation program that is expected to last a minimum of 30 days." The Insider reports:

The Lodge was named by Town & Country magazine to be one of the country’s top rehabs. For a price tag of $30,000 and up, the rehab offers privacy — with rooms for 16 residents at a time. Rooms boast spectacular views, Jacuzzi tubs and private fireplaces, and stars such as Mary-Kate Olsen and David Hasselhoff have reportedly sought treatment there.

Rehab has a bad reputation for being difficult. This one sounds like a vacation destination, "Rooms boast spectacular views, Jacuzzi tubs and private fireplaces…" Lindsay could get the same treatment by checking into a hotel near the rehab center, and just have counselers visit her every day. It should be obvious that Lindsay isn’t serious about quitting drugs and alcohol. When I hear she’s entered a rehab facility that forces you to wear black and white striped pajamas, uses guard dogs to eat you if you try to escape, is surrounded by a 15 foot fence topped with razor wire, and a moat that has aligators, only then will I be convinced that Lohan is serious about getting clean and sober.

Rumer Willis Involved in Drug Bust

willis032207 05 thumb Rumer Willis Involved in Drug Bust

Rumer Willis, 18-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, was caught in the middle of a drug arrest.

"Access Hollywood" reports that Rumer was in a Maryland hotel room where police busted a man for marijuana possession after hotel guests complained about noise. Willis was one of four people in the room. She was not arrested, nor was she being investigated.

Rumer’s in Maryland making an indie film called "From Within."

Just last month, Bruce Willis told People magazine that he and Demi talked to their kids about drugs, saying, "We have an ongoing conversation. They have the gene, and we warn them: ’You have a predisposition to be an alcoholic.’ It’s on her side of the family and mine. It’s something to be aware of. My kids are strongly anti-drug."

Rumer doesn’t seem like the pot smoking type, but she also doesn’t seem like the type to put a condom in her mouth. She does want attention, so anything could happen.
