It’s no secret that Chelsea Handler enjoys a good party so it come as no surprise that she got kicked out of a men’s bathroom last week.
Page Six report that Handler was partying it up at a party held by her boyfriend Andre Balazs on a docked boat in New York when she was caught in the men’s bathroom allegedly doing coke.
Balazs, who owns hotels, held a party for the Standard Hotel employees on the boat and Handler must have gotten friendly with one of the attendees because a source say “a bouncer caught her and ‘a dude with gold shoes’ in a stall in the men’s bathroom and ushered them both out.”
Handler, who started the night off by drinking vodka on the rocks, hasn’t been shy about her past drug usage and even wrote about it in her biography. In one story she even wrote about how she and her gynecologist popped a few ecstasy tablets on a boat ride. Maybe she has something about doing drugs on boats?
“She was not kicked out of the men’s room — that is a fabrication.” He rep, Stephen Huvane, said. Despite the fact that he originally denied she was at the party.
Since this story broke she hasn’t updated her Twitter account. Who knows whether this is true or not, but seriously a celebrity allegedly doing drugs? Color me shocked.
The son of actor Ryan O’Neal and the late Farrah Fawcett, who was caught driving with illegal drugs and a handgun in Santa Monica earlier this month, pleaded no contest to charges of heroin and marijuana possession, as well as possession of a handgun, on Thursday.
He was subsequently sentenced to a year in a live-in rehabilitation program.
“Redmond is grateful for the opportunity to receive additional intensive treatment,” his lawyer, Richard Pintal, told Radar Online, which first reported the news.
Redmond was arrested on Aug. 2 in Santa Monica.
A spokesperson for the Santa Monica Police Department previously confirmed Redmond was pulled over at 8:45 AM on Aug. 2, for failing to stop at a red left turn arrow at Lincoln and Olympic.
Redmond was pulled over at the 600 block of Olympic Drive, not too far from the police department.
A motor officer determined O’Neal was on probation, and therefore he had consent to search him and the vehicle he was driving.
The officer found a controlled substance believed to be heroin in the car.
O’Neal has a history of drug problems. Previously, he was arrested for possession of heroin and methamphetamine and, in a separate incident, possession of methamphetamine.
Sad, really. I wonder if he will ever get his act together?
O’Neal is featured in the reality show Ryan and Tatum: The O’Neals, currently airing on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
Amy Winehouse‘s family say that there was no illegal drugs of any sort in her body at the time of her death last month according to the toxicology report.
While there was no illegal drugs in her system there was alcohol but it is undetermined if this played any part in the singer’s death, if you remember it was rumored she died from alcohol withdrawals so I guess this squashes that theory.
TMZ report that Scotland Yard have yet to receive the toxicology results from the coroner but Amy’s family have released a statement through a rep.
The statement starts out saying “toxicology results returned to the Winehouse family by authorities have confirmed that there were no illegal substances in Amy’s system at the time of her death. Results indicate that alcohol was present but it cannot be determined as yet if it played a role in her death.”
“The family would like to thank the police and coroner for their continuing thorough investigations and for keeping them informed throughout the process. They await the outcome of the inquest in October.” They finished up saying.
Now I don’t want to be cynical or anything but if you notice they only say there was no illegal drugs, it is uknown as of yet if there was any legal drugs such as painkillers in her system.
X17 just posted a video of what they claim to be Lindsay Lohan hanging outside Hal’s Bar & Grill in Venice Beach which is all well and good but they claim to have caught her buying a suspicious bag of white powder.
In the video you can see Lohan and a friend examining the bags from two different guys and then eventually handing over money for it before she lights up and has a smoke while chatting to friends.
X17 have now updated their story saying that Lohan’s rep, Steve Honig, called them and gave his disapproval of the story but refused to comment about it.
Honig is furious though and has spoken to RadarOnline and gave a statement saying that X17 “Knowingly and consciously making inferences about Lindsay that are completely untrue, and creating a fictitious story to get more people to visit their site. We were not given a chance to comment on this story before it went up, and no effort was made to gather the facts about what actually occurred. When I addressed this with the agency, they told me ‘we’re not the New York Times.’ They have made a horrific mistake; the worst part is, they know it but don’t care.”
As for what was in the bags? It wasn’t drugs, apparently it was just sea jasper, a meteor, rose quartz and quartz – all of which are legal. A friend of Lohan had bought them in a shop down the street.
At first the video does make it seem like she is buying drugs but honestly we all know Lindsay isn’t the smartest cookie in the jar but would she be stupid enough to buy drugs on the streets in broad daylight?
Outkast’s Big Boi was arrested in Miami yesterday on charges of drug possession according to the Miami-Dade County Corrections Department.
TMZ reports that Big Boi, whose real name is Antwan Patton, was caught carrying the drugs by customs and border patrol dogs as he got off a cruise ship in Miami.
His drug choices were ecstasy pills, MDMA powder and Viagra (which he didn’t have a prescription for), he was then booked into jail and held on $16,000 bail.
The rapper who is most known for being one half of Outkast immediately posted the bail and has since been released, he also released a statement through his lawyer, Daniel Kane.
“While Big Boi was traveling with his group and friends, a small amount of contraband was found in the collective luggage, I am confident when the entire facts are aired Big Boi will be completely exonerated,” the statement reads.
This all comes one week after Outkast announced plans to start working on a new album.
A spokesperson for the Santa Monica, Calif. Police Department confirmed to Access Hollywood that the 26-year-old son of actor Ryan O’Neal, had been arrested on Tuesday.
The spokesperson told Access that Redmond was pulled over at 8:45 AM PT for failing to stop at a red left turn arrow at Lincoln and Olympic.
Redmond was pulled over at the 600 block of Olympic Drive, not too far from the Police Department.
A motor officer determined O’Neal was on probation, and therefore he had consent to search him and the vehicle he was driving, the spokesperson told Access.
The officer found a controlled substance believed to heroin in the car.
Redmond is still in custody at the Santa Monica Police Department and is expected to be processed later on Tuesday.
The spokesperson said Redmond was not under the influence when he was arrested.
The cause of Amy Winehouse‘s death won’t officially be known for a few weeks until the toxicology report comes in but it’s being put down to her sudden abstinence from alcohol by her family.
Despite reports that Amy went on a drinking binge the morning she died her family claim that she completely gave up the drink and that’s what killed her.
A source close to the family spoke to The Sun and told them that Amy was given strict orders by her doctors to cut down on her heavy drinking gradually but she ignored this and decided to go cold turkey which her body couldn’t cope with.
“Abstinence gave her body such a fright, they thought it was eventually the cause of her death, doctors had told Amy to gradually reduce her intake of alcohol and to avoid binging at all costs. Amy told him she couldn’t do that. It was all or nothing and she gave up completely.” the source says.
Amy’s father, Mitch, also says that reports that she bought drugs the night before she died are untrue and that she hasn’t touched drugs in three years.
Meanwhile Paz de La Huerta has spoken about Amy’s death and she doesn’t believe it was either drink or drugs, she simply thinks that the reason she died is because Amy seen bad photos of herself.
“Look what just happened to Amy Winehouse! Maybe had she not seen so many bad pictures of herself she would have gotten more self esteem. And not been so self-destructive.” says Paz.
What a tool. We really won’t know until the toxicology reports come in so all of these rumors can be put to rest.
Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane recently checked himself into a rehab center in Los Angeles to battle his addiction with painkillers his rep has confirmed.
The 38-year-old actor is nearly finished a 30-day stint in the rehab center and will soon return to the Grey’s Anatomy set, which started back filming on July 19th. His rep released a statement to RadarOnline saying:
“Actor Eric Dane voluntarily checked himself into a treatment facility to help him get off of pain medication that he was prescribed for a sports injury that he suffered over the recent hiatus. He reports back to work next week. Business as usual.”
Just two weeks ago it was revealed that his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, is pregnant with their second child so Dane apparently told a close friend that he has far “too much to lose” and that he “things spiraling out of control and decided he needed to get some help.”
Its good that he realizes that he needed to get help especially considering his wife is pregnant.
The Sun are reporting that troubled actor Jonathan Rhys Meyers was hospitalized in London earlier this week after reportedly trying to commit suicide that involved him popping pills in his home.
33-year-old Meyers, who has been battling alcohol addiction for the past few years and has been in and out of rehab five times, was found slumped over on the floor in his home on Tuesday night by paramedics who responded to an emergency call.
According to sources when paramedics tried to help him he refused any treatment for 30 minutes before the police arrived on the scene and managed to convince him that he should go to hospital. The source adds “this is very sad. It was the opinion of those present that he tried to take his life.”
A spokesperson for the police spoke to People saying “we can confirm we were called by the London Ambulance Service to an address in NW8 to report to a man refusing treatment. Police attended, and the man was taken by ambulance to a central London hospital. That was the end of our involvement.”
The actor, probably best known for his role in The Tudors, was discharged on Wednesday morning and reporters asked him hw he’s doing to which he simply replied “no comment.” It was only recently reported that he can’t even keep his leg steady if he sits down because he has the shakes from drinking so much alcohol.
To be honest this doesn’t come as a surprise to me, when his mother passed away a few years ago he hit the drink harder than ever before and I always thought it was only a matter of time before something like this happens. I hope he gets the help he needs.
Charlie Sheen has just admitted in a new Sports Illustrated interview that he decided to take performance enhancers for his role as Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn in ‘Major League.’
Usually it’s the athletes that take steroids to bulk up, not actors playing athletes.
“Let’s just say that I was enhancing my performance a little bit. It was the only time I ever did steroids… I did them for like six or eight weeks. You can print this, I don’t give a f**k. My fastball went from 79 [miles-per-hour] to like 85.”
Sheen went on to say that he quit the drug after losing control of his temper.
While on steroids, he almost got into a fight at a bar after some patrons were making fun of the wacky haircut he got for the role, “I didn’t like the haircut because it generated so many comments in bars. I’ve got enough of that already. Add that to the mix, and it’s a recipe for a fistfight,” he says.
Today is a good day for Lindsay Lohan, she’s free once again!
Lindsay ends her four month sentence of house arrest, for stealing a necklace from a Venice, California jewelry store, and her twenty fifth birthday is just around the corner, on July 2nd.
What better way to celebrate her newly found freedom, than partying in the Hamptons?
NBC’s Today is reporting that Lohan’s name appears on the guest list for the L.A. Takes Over the Hamptons party at a private residence in the swanky New York beach town.
When the troubled star’s spokesperson was reached for comment they would not say whether she would remain in California for her birthday celebration or if she’d be making her way east. They did say however, “We’re choosing to let Lindsay celebrate her birthday with family and friends privately.”
This birthday could have been a very different scene if last week’s court debacle had turned out differently for the starlet.
This girl will be back in jail, within 6 months… maybe less.
Boardwalk Empire‘ star Paz de la Huerta is in the middle of another sloppy scandal.
The HBO troublemaker reportedly caused quite a scene last week at a fancy hotel party in New York, new that’s definitely not helping her less-than-stellar reputation.
De la Huerta attendedUrbanDaddy’s Chivas Day of Brotherhood gala at the Bowery Hotel and had her fair share of fun at the expense of other guests.
The actress, reportedly wearing a barely-there, slinky black dress, first angered partygoers when she cut the line to have her picture taken in faux photo shoot, set up on a couch. The photographer, who tried to give the HBO star suggestions, got snapped at by the sassy actress.
In what must have escalated into a really sloppy scene, de la Huerta reportedly began rolling around and making faces on the couch while an intrigued and irritated crowd began to form around her. Classy.
And then came the girl-on-girl kiss. After rolling around, the actress decided to grab a female friend for a make-out session on the couch in front of the crowd.
Luckily, two friends helped de la Huerta down off the couch and saved her from continuing the bizarre scene.
This isn’t the first time the ‘Boardwalk Empire’ star has made headlines thanks to her less-than-appropriate public behavior. She was arrested last month for alleged assault when she reportedly threw a glass and punched a woman in her face while in New York City.
De la Huerta was charged with five misdemeanors, including attempted assault, harassment, fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon and dual counts of third-degree assault.
After taking their case to court, Courtney Love was ordered to pay two of her former maids, Miriam and Myriam, $35K for years of unpaid work, according to TMZ.
Having cleaned up after Love several years ago — we’re assuming it’s not an easy task — with no compensation, the two women finally took their boss to court on her nonexistent payment plans.
The deserving pair will receive a total of $35,769.72 in unpaid wages, penalties and accrued interest.
We have a feeling that this is one indiscretion that Love will not defend herself via Twitter rant.
In an candid interview, Courtney Love talked about her extensive drug use, her relationship with Kurt Cobain and her concerns about Lady Gaga‘s future.
She also talks about shooting up heroin at a party she attended in the mi-90s at Charlie Sheen‘s house.
“My boyfriend at the time took me to this star-studded party at Charlie Sheen’s house in Malibu. Tom Cruise was there, and Madonna, and my… convinced me to shoot up. ‘Come on, everyone’s doing it.’ So that’s when my whole heroin drama began,” she admitted.
On the first time she did drugs:
“The first time I got high on coke is captured on camera. I was 19 at the time. My friend Jennifer shot a whole roll of film of us doing giant lines. It wasn’t a very pleasant experience, though.”
On whether there’s a connection between drug use and creativity:
“Definitely. Look at the most brilliant artists of the past two centuries. Proust. Tennessee Williams. Scott Fitzgerald. Jim Morrison. Kurt. They all were f—ed up on something or other. It goes with the territory. Artists are more sensitive than other people. Maybe we need something to dull the pain.”
On doing drugs with Kurt Cobain:
“Before I met Kurt, I was more or less clean, but then Kurt earned his first million and decided to become a junkie, and I decided to become a junkie along with him. That’s the co-dependent side of me. After he died there were all these stupid jokes I made up: What did the co-dependent say when the junkie jumped out the window? “Wait a minute, I’m coming!”
On Lady Gaga:
“She may be doing fine at the moment, but I’m worried about her future. She’s very young, and she’s very talented, but she doesn’t seem to have any female friends. Or any straight guy friends for that matter. Instead, she surrounds herself with this coterie of gay stylists and advisors who’ve turned her into this weird, sexless Barbie doll… If she doesn’t watch out she’ll turn into a lonely drag queen.”
